Has this app stopped working for anyone else here? I tried force closing, and clearing data. Also tried uninstalling and re installing the .apk.
Every time I try to launch it, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, News and Weather has stopped."
Haven't changed anything on the phone. It was working this morning, but when I tried it this afternoon, kept getting the error.
Thanks!
yeah, i think we are having the same problem here

Likewise here in New Zealand on a Note 3. Fine last night, no good today. Have uninstalled, rebooted, tried several different apks now out there (1.3.11 being the newest) - all the same result. I sincerely hope this is a temporary thing, I depend on that app and really dislike the less flexible and more data-hungry alternatives like NewsHog.
same here
exact same thing here. only "new" thing i could remember was a chrome update last night (could definitely be another thing.. jus sayin). now the news and weather app doesn't work just as you guys described. no amount of data clearing and reinstallation works on my ics. - vancouver

Having same difficulty here with an HTC One, Android version 4.3, HTC Sense 5.0, Software number 3.24.531.3, HTC SDK API level 5.45. Likewise, have tried Force Close, clearing Data, clearing Cache. Seems to work once phone is rebooted; text and the local wx/temp shows up. However, when I click on the Genie widget, I (1) first see a progress bar at the bottom of a plain black field, then (2) get the popup, "Unfortunately, News & Weather has stopped. (OK)."
Agreed, it's an invaluable app which came installed on my One. Please fix if possible. Thanks!

Not for me. Seems like Chrome update last night broke something.
All good now

Fixed here also now.
I had no Chrome update yesterday that I recall, and updated nothing today except for reinstalls of this app. If you think Chrome was the issue, maybe try winding its version back in app manager?
But I'm guessing it was unrelated, and therefore hopefully your app will come right also in the near future.

Yes, it's working fine as of this morning's reboot. Temporary glitch, apparently. Maybe related to "Google's server down" issue? Whatever it was...it's good to go now. Thanks!
Mine is working again today... Thanks!
For some reason, the talkback service has decided to tell me it is activated even though it is not. I have a persistent notification that won't go away. Since it's a system service, there is no way to just hide the notification. Any ideas?
Clearing the cache and rebooting didn't help either.
Did you ever figure this out I have the same problem on sprint. You can't even disable the Talkback app.
Nope. I did a factory/hard reset last night. Still the same issue.
I haven't installed any apps I didn't have on my GS5, so it can't be an app's fault. Going to do an exchange at the AT&T store in the next day or two. I'm not getting stuck with something like this.

This would be a workaround (if it does work), but try tapping and holding on the notification, and then click on the "i" icon to see which app is displaying the notification. If it's a stand-alone app (i.e. not the Android system), then you should be able to block notifications for that app.

Thank you, but it is the system app doing it. I'm just going to swap for a different S6 at the store tomorrow. Got my app data backed up to the cloud thanks to Helium.
The messed up part is it literally happened right when I got my phone. I'm gonna try a factory reset then if not try to get it swapped out
@dizzymatt Still have it? It mysteriously disappeared for me today. I was literally going to go to the store this afternoon to exchange this thing. Maybe I got lucky or sensed I was coming!
Afterward, though, the oddest thing happened. I was looking through the store for a different Google product and came across this one called Google talkback. I thought that was very weird to find right after I had had this issue. When I clicked on it, it allowed me to uninstall it. Never saw it in my apps list or the application manager, but there it was. Again, this is after the notification went away from me so I have no idea if this is related.
Here is the link. Maybe uninstalling it will help you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.talkback
Seen what you said and I didn't have the app installed but it just disappeared for me too after I rebooted my phone I wonder what it was.

Now I'm wondering if it was related to Google Now since the notification and the ability to say "Ok, Google from any screen went away about the same time.
Disabling Talk back
I got stuck on a 15 minute hell ride when I accidentally turned on my Talkback feature on my new S6. I couldn't turn it off even after toggling the stupid settings. I finally was able to turn it off by tapping the home screen button three times.. apparently that is the On/Off switch for the accessibility features. After it finally stopped talking back to me I went in to manually toggle the off button on that ridiculous feature.
Same problem / solved ?
I had same problem with notification
Decided I would try enable, so that I could then disable
Seems to have done the job
Just started having this issue today. Previously I was able to say OK Google anytime the device was on. Now it seems that I have to actually open up the Google app to get OK Google to work. Anyone else have this issue? Resolutions?

I can't use OK Google, and OTA doesn't work because the OTA process detects that I'm rooted, and tells it tells me No Update for you. Why does Samsung always have to make things more difficult than they should be?

The same thing happened to me. Though my situation was a bit weirder. I got it to work this morning (about an hour ago), then 5 minutes later, it wouldn't and the setting to use it from any screen disappeared.
I'm having the same issue.
My "OK Google" detection from any screen option disappeared.
same here
option is gone
only work if i have the widget on home screen
Weird, I keep seeing this issue pop up in several threads. Mine works just fine. For what it's worth, I'm on the latest OTA and rooted, using Nova Launcher.
Same here. I have even tried it the first time with the lock screen, but now I can only use it with the screen on. Options for screen off have dissapeared
I just updated my google play services to this one
http://www.talkandroid.com/245692-go...d/#more-245692
installed the apk, now my google detection from any screen is gone now to , might have to do with this version of the play services.

I think this might be a recent system-wide glitch on Google's server side.
There are several other internet threads on this topic, including on the XDA Pixel 1 XL thread, see:

I've had the same problem on an og Pixel 128 gig on Android 7.2.1 Verizon variant unlocked using depixel8, rooted running old versions of SuperSU and TWRP
Cellular service on a pre-paid T-mobile MVNO
Noticed weather readout missing about 5 days ago 3/21/2018. Homescreen shows only day and date now.
Tried every trick in all the threads shown above, but nothing fixes the problem.
Uninstalling updates to Google app worked first time to get a weather reading, but it never would update and long gone now.
Hope someone under warranty escalates issue with Google.
Once temporarily restored I noticed mine disappears as soon as a calendar appointment or similar appears on the at a glace widget. Also read it's associated with you account insofar as some folk with other accounts get better maileage by switching to those accounts.
Been like if for a while for me - no fix in sight so far...
I have totally stock PIxel 2 64GB
how does Google constantly manage to f up every little thing? I just don't get it.

WOW. those morons at Google tied it into location history!! I had that crap off since day 1 in every phone because it's battery consuming and now i just turned it on and bam, weather instantly back. what a JOKE.

Interesting. Will also try that, as every other trick did not work. Weird Google Dev Guys.
Can confirm, it came directly back after enabling the location history.... Really does not make any sense for me....
Yep it is now tied to location history. They use every possibility to get your data. "You won't give us your location history? Well, than you can't see how the weather is right now"
Does anyone know a similar widget than? Having weather data is not worthy cutting my battery time in half. Also i think the location history is just ridiculous, it does not have a single benefit for me, i just noticed a way worse battery life last time i tested it.
Somehow it's working again without changing anything
so i have pixel 2 xl, and location history enabled on my phone but its still doesnt work.
anyone found a fix for issue?
I think you must update google app to version 7.24.31.
For me after update to last version weather work again
For me it is also available again, with disabled location history (and no app updates since I don't have access to any WiFi at the moment). Strange...
weird. i honestly gave up. f google. I started using nova again with HD widgets like I always did on every phone.

I tried everything above. I finally uninstalled the Google App through the Play Store, then updated the Google App (it's a system app, so it doesn't completely uninstall). That worked for me.
I managed to fix it following these steps.
1. Uninstalled the Google app
2. Opened the outdated app
3. Menu
4. Customize feed
5. Navigated to the Weather section and tapped on View All Settings
6. Disabled "Weather updates" and "Weather updates for your location"
7. Tapped on the DONE button
8. Kill the Google app
9. Went back to the store and updated the Google app
10. Open the app go to customize feed and reenable the weather updates again.
I have used various methods involving uninstalling and reinstalling the Google app. All restore the weather until after the next calendar event appears in the at-a-glace widget
I gave up trying to get "At A Glance" to work consistently. Being at the whim of whatever updates or backend changes Google decides to make turns it into an occasionally useful but mostly inconsistent, useless waste of screen space.
If you use Nova, you can use "Another Widget" from the Play Store. It's layout is identical to At A Glance and allows font, size, and other detailed customizations. It's basically a better "At A Glance" widget.
I just tried something today and the weather at a glance was back. I went into "Customize feed" -> weather settings, and changed "Preferred temperature units" from Celsius to Fahrenheit and weather at a glance was back (both in feed and on home screen). Then I changed it back to Celsius and the weather update is still there... Weird.
I tried every piece of advice I read about it and it didn't work properly (uninstall Google app, enable location history, etc.), but this did it. Hope it helps.
Beta 4 dropped. I figured I'd create this thread for individuals to post opinions, what's new, issues etc

Edit: Beta 4 has resumed https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...mments/bx56nh/android_q_beta_4_now_available/
Taking ages to install on pixel 3xl, anyone else?
Anyone else stuck on the boot screen? G logo and scrolling bar beneath????? Been there over an hour. Rebooted, same thing....been 30 minutes there.
Mines been on updating apps for half an hour, it is slowly progressing, but painfully slow

Wish I could even get to a screen that said anything! Looks like I'll have to flash a factory image.........of course I didn't check my backup status first, HA! At least it's not my main phone
Mine said optimizing apps for almost 2 hours. Only problem I see now from b3, is Facebook won't save a photo. Just keeps saying error saving the photo. And if you take a screenshot, it STILL doesn't go to the top of the list like it should.
Took a long time on boot up after installing. Probably 10-15 minutes. Be patient.
Mine took a couple hours to optimize apps as well. So far I've found more accents, the notifications are more colorful, the lockscreen lock is at the top, the WiFi icon is different on the pulldown and the status bar, the at a glance font is now 'thicker' and the google search bar is now black. Also, force dark mode now either doesn't do anything or crashes settings.
Can I ask what's not working in Q beta 4?
Need to use my Pixel 3 XL for work and can't afford to be without my phone.
Is there a running list of what's working and what's not?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

On the same boat. stuck at G logo with scrolling bar. Let me know if you find any workaround. I don't want to flash/factory reset my primary phone
I have pixel 3 btw.
Update:
My pixel 3 booted to beta 3 and I got a notification that update failed. Thanks to A/B partition!
Update:
I clicked on update again after that and kept the phone on charge. It optimized the apps and the updated went through successfully!
This is before the update is paused by Google.

If anyone has an issue, install the beta. I had to uninstall the original, then install the beta to get it to work.
Did anyones override force dark stop working? Settings FC for me. Only reason I was running Q.

Yep same issue. Reported it!
Did you guys see the article today from Android Police about Dynamic System Updates for the Pixel 3XL? The future sounds pretty cool!
They pulled it out for now. Bricked some Pixel 2 devices.
My 3 XL is updated and works fine.
