Native Weather Not Working Properly - Samsung Gear 2

Anybody know why my Gear 2 would show this icon and how to fix it? Is there a way to clear the cache of the built in weather app?
I've also noticed the date in the weather itself not the watch is one day behind always showing yesterday's date but today's weather. The icon is also incorrect when you enter the weather app as well as on the weather clock.
I have tried resetting the watch to no effect.
I am using a Note 9 phone. Watch worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. Watch is stock not rooted.
I love my gear 2 due to camera and ir blaster so any tips to fix it would be so appreciated. Note incorrect icon on pic below. Snow icon at 79 F

I can add more about the problem. Whatever happened may have been in the last Note9 update because my gear 2 gets proper weather info from the note 3 but when reset and reconnected to note 9 the problem returns so the note 9 sends the correct temperature to the gear 2 but not the correct weather icon. The date is correct on the watch but one day back in the weather app. So how do I get the weather app to convey correct info from the note 9 to my gear 2?

No ideas?

Try to put the Samsung Widget on one desk page on the phone and update the weather info by clicking weather update icon on the widget.

Thanks. I already have the widget set up. The phone and watch worked fine together for months. Updating was the first thing I did. The other strange thing is although the date is correct on the watch face it is a day off in the weather app. You click on the temp it goes to weather and updates. It always shows the previous day BUT shows the temp correctly. Both of my gear 2 do this on note 9.. Both work perfectly on my old note 3 which I still have.

I found the problem in case anyone cares. Phone must be set to highest level of operation with the least battery preserving features running. All of the system apps and Playstore apps that are connected to gear must be set to never sleep. Now the weather updates and the day is correct.

Alternative Digital Clock

Anyone out there using an alternative digital clock for their home they could recommend?
Im just looking for a basic clock widget so no weather widget suggestions lol...
I want to see how much difference this would make to my battery instead of having my usual weather widget installed and updating regularly..
Heres what ive come across so far:

Holding the time for me just fine. Though I have my clock set to not sync to network time.
SETTINGS> Date & Time Settings> Automatic (deselect this)

When you say that it doesn't update (or takes a minute) that when you boot the phone up, the time just displays Hh:Mm where the time should be?
I found the quicker way to sort it (me being impatient) is remove the widget from the home screen and then re-add it. 95% of the time it will show the time straight away.

Go Weather Widget Skins

Anyone else that using the Go Weather widget having problems where the themes for the widget aren't allowing you to browse for more? Seems to only be allowing me to select two - the default and a simple one.
I really want the lucid pro one, but even if I download it from the market it isn't showing up in the widget's theme section. I hate that default one with the flowers and green lawn.
I am having the exact same issue. What ROM are you on?

My wifes phone is a Samsung Fascinate, with a Touchwiz debloated Rom, mine was running MIUI, now running Jermaine's Stock Plus from yesterday. Having the issue on all of them, including my wifes.
I'm having exactly the same issue. The missing themes are available in the Market, but if you download them for there they are not associated with the application and will not load...
Strangely, mine started working. I wish I knew what I did, but I didn't actually do anything that I'm aware of. Sorry I'm no more help.
I did notice a banner news update in the GoWeather app which talked about fixing the bug with the widget packs not being selectable, but I know I didn't install an update.
I believe they said it was a server issue
I still have the issue on my Atrix. Had on a stock ROM, now having still with CM7.
Doesn't seem to be server issue or at least doesn't seem to be fixed yet.
Ääähhh...did nobody of you guys realize that the widget doesnt actualize the weather and shows completely wrong weather data? I tried our big german cities like münchen, düsseldorf, dortmund, berlin...with the same result. when will goweather devs wake up and fix that?

I gave up and switched to the Android Weather widget. Always accurate and goes nice with the stock Go launcher. I like that it has wind speed. I already have a calender widget so use the date tap to open the Weather Channel for a more detailed forecast. It also shows your exact address on the 2nd screen, which can be useful.

"Info Gear" shows battery info of your Gear...
That is not new. Have this also in 2.2.151.....
Hi. Today Gear Manager has been updated to 2.2.16011842 and now the weather settings have dissappeared. Where can I find them? Is it a bug? I have weather app and widget in the watch but there's no way to access settings. Same to you? I have Gear S and Note 3. Thanks!

Weather configuration is still available on my Gear Manager app after the update. It's located in Settings->Individual app Settings->Weather.

Oh yes. Sorry for my confusion. I thought it was at different location! Thank you very much. Anyway when I try to change interval of weather update from 6 hours to any other time it closes and shows Unified Daemon closed. Other settings working ok! :good:
Not available in the US? The older version is still showing on Play and the Galaxy Apps store. Weird.

Plus notifications of gear app updates option added. Number of updates will pop up next to 'Samsung Gear Apps'. That plus extra battery info is all I've noticed.
My phone got the update in US.
Also in US and got the update. Haven't noticed anything special about it though

Wearable Widgets - my new favourite app

just wanted to share the recent update to the Wearable Widgets app for GearS3
I've used the app for ages - this ran as an app on my watch - and when selected it shows a widget from my android device - i use it for my google feed. (its free for one widget)
However it has just been updated - so now you can select it as one of the actual widgets within the Tizen os - so now i can access my widgets just by rotating my bezel. truely awesome. and you can have multiple widgets (for a small fee...)
this isn't marketing, i don't work for them or know them, i just now have a cool app on my watch...

I hope you're right. I uninstalled it from my watch because it was buggy. I'll give it another try.

This app will suck your battery dry.
Just bought it. Very impressed.
I also noticed that when I used their new feature to set it as a widget, it drained the battery. If I just leave it as an app, it doesn't. So, since Samsung hasn't (or won't) deliver an native Smarthings app for the Gear S3, I'm using this to be able to control my first set of routines from the Smartthings widget. So now I can use my watch to turn on my A/C to start cooling the place down before I get home.

Thanks for info!
50% battery usage after one full cycle.... uninstalled.
Just installed it back.
Three widgets on the s3 installed.
AIX weather, Bitcoin and Google Keep. Keep does not seem to scroll
In fact I take care that the right widget is in front for eacht s3 widget. (Headaches anybody?)
Looks promising however.
Will test battery life.
Huib
Pretty cool app. But wish I could interact with the widget from my watch. For example, my google keep list. Wish I could scroll through my list.
Battery Widget Reborn is the perfect widget for this. Can easily check my phone's battery life from my watch and it looks like a native app! (Excuse the temporary screen protector, using the plastic piece that came on the back on my watch until my glass protector comes in)

Just got a gear S3 and got some questions!

Just got one for a father's day gift and I've been using the watch for the past week. Love it, but can't stop feeling that I'm not using it to its full potential. Thought maybe if I got some questions answered here, I would feel better.
1. what's the GPS, Wifi options for on the watch? I don't have GPS on right now, but Wifi is enabled. Not sure what app uses it, but I thought everything was connected to the phone through BT, so didn't need additional connections on the watch. Can someone clarify?
2. The weather app that's pre-installed is slow to refresh...meaning when I travel from city to city, I want to know what the weather is like in the next city (current temp, etc.), but can't for the life of me figure out how to manually refresh current location?
3. I only can read the last message in a string of text messages....is there no way to look at all unread on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Gps: use for workout apps, tracking distance, Mapping, directions. Wifi in case you don't have phone nearby-can use Wi-Fi service where you are. The Gear S3 can operate on its own, without having to be connected to the phone.
Weather app- well you can manually refresh it and it should update when you so that. Also many weather apps available for it.
Messages - you should be able to scroll up once you click on the person, to see previous messages.
It can be a stand alone phone-if you left your phone at home and it's on, you can use the watch as a phone and receive and make calls on it, as long as it was Bluetooth connected to the cell phone before you left.

For multiple message...I always see the number of unread message in a Circular icon at the bottom of the notification...I click on it...and all the messages are scroll-able.
