Issues with weather widget - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi Guys,
I am using Weather and clock widget on the home screen of my S7. It was working fine till the Nougat update came. After the Nougat update I wasn't able to update the weather by clicking the refresh button (forgot to take a screenshot, posting a reference photo)-
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The same was updating without enabling GPS or any other setting. It works the same way in my SIII. After the update nothing happened when I clicked on the refresh button. I had to click on the weather photo and scroll down the screen to update it. I was tired of the same so I cleared data and cache of weather and weather forecast from the app manager. Now when I am trying to add my city I am getting this network unavailable error even though the phone is connected via wifi-
If I open weather forecast and click on more settings and then select use current location, it turns on gps, I am able to add my city and the weather details are refreshed but only when I click on the weather photo and scroll down the screen to update it.
I don't want to format my phone What should I do?
Thanks

Any help friends?

try switching on 'use current location' option.

I know this is almost a year later but I had the same issue. Turns out It happens when power saving mode is enabled. I see in your screenshot it was enabled. As soon as I disabled that mode the widget updates.

I think this will fix it:
Settings>battery >battery usage> optimize battery usage > change the drop down menu to "all apps"
Scroll to find "weather" and "weather forecast" .
Toggle the switch off.
Also, I'm not sure if this is needed or not, using the "all apps" menu find each of these apps and turn off data saver.

Good looking app and with the plus of allowing to choose between several providers butt with a major downside which is not being able to update the location automatically wether being via wifi or GPS
It's beautiful weather!

That is correct, I'm sorry
If you allow a suggestion, I'm using the widget below and the time & date seems to be offcenter comparing with the weather info immediately below...
How often an application refreshes the data? Where are the settings for that?
Nice work but you should add button to update weather manual. In app and the widgets of course.
Keep it up

Just noticed the update but the widget remain not centered
How can refresh manualy? I did not find any...
widget does not auto-update.
Always shows the information of the last time we run the app.
For example this morning I connect the wi-fi did all sorts of things and widget was still showing the moon and yesterday evening info.
I need to click on it to run the app and then it gets updated.

Do Not Disturb bug

I'm having in issue where do not disturb is coming on automatically even though the auto setting is off. Every night at 12 it switches on.
If you look at the screenshots attached you will see do not disturb is on but only visible in the settings main page. Quick settings toggle is not on, do not disturb settings is switched off yet it remains on.
The only reason I can think for this happening is because I had a galaxy s8 before this and I used to have a schedule DND at 12 till 8am. Maybe the settings some how got carried over when i restored apps and settings via the play store. Is there any way to fix this without doing a full wipe and setting up as a new device rather than restoring settings?

Try downloading the app Quickshortcut Maker from Play Store and search for Do Not Dis3. Click the settings and you should find the Android default settings. Check there to turn it off.
For some reason OnePlus decided to create their own version of a feature that is built in.

Only just saw this as I came back to post that I found a fix from another thread. I used Do Not Disturb - DND - ZenMode from the Play Store to achieve the same thing. Thanks

Power-saving feature | How to completely disable?

Having a very annoying issue with my 5 II where it does not show the correct time on the ambient display. It can be over an hour or two behind sometimes, specially at night, but sometimes during the day as well. I figured might have something to do with a battery saving option somewhere so I went through the settings and turned everything possible off.
In the Battery usage setting page both Screen and Ambient Display are on top naturally and both have "Power-saving feature" Applied. When I tap on it to change it loads a long list of apps, most of which also have the feature applied. However, there is no Screen and there's no Ambien Display in either list where I could change the setting to Excepted instead of Applied. So I went one by one and disabled the feature on all the apps in the list, but unfortunately Screen and Ambient Display still show that the feature is applied.
Where can I change this setting? How do I disable Power-Saving feature completely? Am I even looking at the right things to solve this issue?
Thank you

To solve the ambient display notifications + clock lag, please try this:
Settings - Display - Lock screen preferences - Ambient display - When to show Ambient display - select "Smart activation"
This is something that happens on many phones, including Google Pixel 2 XL.
This setting prevents deep-sleep for ambient display.

Wake screen for notifications

Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list

Question The messaging app notifications not showing up on the lock screens AOD help needed?

Must have toggled some setting that I can't figure out and now my message app notification icon is not showing up on AOD All other apps like missed calls or FB msg are showing up normally
Any ideas?
They don't show on AOD, but what about the lock screen?
Is it all your text messages or just a specific one? I'd look under Settings>Notifications. Look around here, maybe you ticked something in here.
Also, you can try wiping the Messaging app as well. Your text messages will still be there, just have to set the settings up in the app again.

Thats what i mean they don't show on the lock screen I've searched under Settings>Notifications and everywhere else like 25x and can't find whats causing it.
It started after I setup a pattern lock screen and then deleted it and set it back to swipe to open

Is it these options you have maybe changed to hiddel
If you use face unlock and give it authorization to go straight to the home screen without swiping it hides all the notifications on the lockscreen and makes little icons instead
