It's not showing the weather...
Just reads for eg, 'Sunday, 22 Dec'
Isn't it followed by the temperature?
Thanks

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.

Hallo,
every now and then, when I restart my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 all of my extra home screens on the right have disappeared. Sometimes when I create new screens to the right and then restart, by some computer magic they have returned, but alas not always. Is anybody else experiencing this behaviour? Does any body know how to prevent this happening?
Or which alternative launchers have been tested and found good under 4.4?
Best regards to all
Nick
I have exactly the same problem.
I think it appeared after switching on Google Now.
Have you found anything on the subject ?

Hi Spikes,
unfortunately I have not yet found the cause or any further infos to the problem. I'm going to look into other launchers - also because the icons are so large on nexus5.
Bye
Nick
Same problem on my Nexus 5.
4.4.2 Android Version installed and the problem still survive.
Please, help us!
Same problem here, but with GEL on Nexus 4 on Android 4.4.2. (I know it is a Nexus 5 thread, but I though it would be helpfull).
Trying to resolve the matter, I came up with a solution(?) :
1. Put new shortcuts/widgets so as to get back the same number of screens as you had before.
2. Settings --> Home --> Old Launcher
3. Home button
4. Settings --> Apps --> Google Search --> Clear cache (this step may not be necessary)
5. Google Search --> Force stop
6. Home button
7. Settings --> Home --> GEL
8. Home button
This triggers something and I get my original screens back (most of the times)
Please verify this solution and report back.

Hi,
I have all the same problel about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem? I recently installed PA 4.1 on my Nexus 4 and found that my homescreens kept getting wiped after reboot. It's hugely annoying and I can't tell if it's a problem with the ROM or the launcher.

It's best not to rely on buggy launchers made by third rate coders.
Is there any way to find out if they know about this bug and fixing it?
I am currently looking into alternative launchers but I will miss Google Now feature.

Hey guys,
So just like the title says emui is closing apps especially audio related apps even though I've told to exempt those apps from battery optimization.
The apps specifically are:
Pandora
SoundCloud
Pocket Cast
I have factory reset the phone just to make sure I haven't done anything weird while exempting those application. They still get closed when I lock the screen.
Another thing to note, when the app closes it might sometimes (especially Pandora) relaunch itself and be fine with the screen off. Other times I have to go back in restart the app and then on screen lock it might work but there's no guarantees.
Just wondering if any of y'all have had this issue before and how did y'all go around fixing it.
I had also issue when I hearing songs in saavn app.
go to phone manager , there swipe left you will find lock screen cleanup there choose the app which you want to run even the screen is off:good:

I'm at my whits end. My wife and I are both Google beta members. Same S7 Edge. Same version of the Google app and she has the customizable widget while I do not. I have tried everything. Uninstalling, updating, leaving and rejoining the beta, you name it. She did nothing. One day the three dot menu was there for her on the widget. I can't get it to happen on my S7 Edge.
Anyone else figure out how to make this happen? It's driving me crazy.

Uninstall it then try this apk...if it's what you're looking for.

I've tried installing APK's found on various sites that were supposed to install the widget but it just ends up being the same search widget. No three dots like my wife's. I don't understand how two people, in the beta program, with the exact same device and the exact same version (7.14.18.21.arm64), don't both have the same widget. This is bizarre.
try to clear the data and everything from the application, then choose to disable the application manager, restart
Then, enable and update the app

Don't really want to do that. I don't want to have to configure it all again with what I like to see cards wise within Now as well as anything with the Assistant. I shouldn't have to reset everything to get the same widget my wife got with the same version of Google, without doing any of that. There has to be something we're missing here.
I also want to know how to get the 3 dots. Seems like there's no known fix

Tried this. Doesn't work
I've had three Google updates since I first posted this and I STILL do not have the customizable widget. WTF is Google doing?
No one? Did anyone else get the newly updated customizable widget? I've tried everything again. Uninstalling, reinstalling from links at various sites. Removing from beta, adding back. This is very frustrating.
Search bar customization
Same issue my wife and I both S7 edge have the customisation of option but my friend did the same procedure and he has an updated app but no customisation option I don't know why Google is doing this
I've had many updates to the Google app since I first posted this thread. Still no customizable widget. I guess Google is never going to release it to some people for some bizarre reason. I don't get their thinking on this. Why give it to some, update others, but don't include the customization???
what is the customisable widget? can i see a screenshot? now i want it too!
Hey still nothing for me too bruh.I want it too Friend in work who has S8 already use rounded version :/ **** is not fair.Google probably releasing this very slowly.Se we have to wait dudes
Any update for this thread? I had that rounded widget until today because i had to factory reset my s7 edge for various reasons and after that, widget dont let me customize it anymore. I have all google apps up to date and I joined to beta test but still nothing... Now I have different 3rd party google search, but I want that original to work again.. :/
Yup, I finally received it months ago. Just took time to show up.

Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.

Are you using a Pixel 7?
Your best bet for fixing the flashlight issue is to probably install a Pixel Launcher, stock or modded and customize your At A Glance settings. As for the lock screen weather, not so sure you can turn that one off.

I installed the standard pixel, turned off everything that was possible, the flashlight disappeared, but I can’t remove the date and weather. phone pixel 7 pro

It was the same on my 4XL. It's nuts that they put that on the homescreen. Every morning when I turn the phone on, I have to swipe left to get to the homescreen I want to use. I don't want to root, or change the launcher. Back in the day, I was able to choose the homescreen page I wanted.
