Did you try to config the zipcode or your location on the widgets yet?
Weather widget works just for US. No other countries avalible.
edit: You can check supported locations at weather.gov
This is the place where weather widget gets information.
International version

The MS app would be perfect, but the tile doesn't update...
Requirements:
Automatic location updating at a reasonable or configurable interval
Displays location, current temp, and current conditions icon on its tile
Preferred additional:
Wide tile with upcoming days forecast (apparently third party apps can't use wide tiles though)
High/low/precipitation displayed on the tile
Allows adding other locations in the app screen so I can have current, home, work, etc listed.
I've tried the MS app (closest, but has a static tile), weather channel, weatherbug, and a couple of others I can't remember. But I can't find a single one that meets the two requirements. Is there one I'm missing?
Edit: apparently the HTC hub does this, but I have an LG quantum and don't think it will run

An app can't update your location until you open it up. It would be nice, but that capability isn't there. Perhaps it'll be possible when we get multitasking.
The app that fits most of what you want is the Weather Channel, I think.

You sure? Its tile doesn't update, and it doesn't automatically update its location. Weatherbug does the former, MS weather does the latter.
Weather Channel does have an updating live tile, it just sometimes takes awhile for that first update after installation.
I use Weatherbug, but you have to manually enter the location. You can maintain a list of multiple locations to switch between, though.

Huh. Well I'll leave it a couple of days and see what it says then. Thanks.

I should clarify, though, that it might not update unless you open it. But it will show the current temp, etc., eventually.
I use an app just called weather widget. It beats the weather channel and that accu junk... and when i click it i get the full 5 day forcadt and a refresh incase it doesnt auto update... which it does usually
Update
Just checked on market. Its called weather widget - free
The author is android apps and it has an icon of a sun. Give it a try.

Weather channel updates tile.
Sometimes with delay.
As a fellow Quantum owner, I can speak to the weather channel working quite well. The only problems though:
-seems dodgy on location. I live in Windsor, and it can "find" me in surrounding small towns, but can't actually find Windsor. So I have to use Detroit as a locator (not a big deal, I live close enough that it's the same weather pattern)
-sometimes there's a delay between changing from daytime to nighttime (the colour of the tile changes)
Other than that, I tried weatherbug before this one, and weather channel is much better.
I've tried them all and World Weather is the most efficient.
Live tile updates work well. Location based weather also works well.
Time interval can be set at different frequencies to save data.
This app has all the required features
I just searched the forum for this but came up empty. I am constantly getting a system message saying "refesh failed". I tried uninstalling some likely apps and disabling auto update on others to no avail. I asssume something is wasting system resources and i would like to correct it. Is anyone else getting this or have an idea of what app or service I should suspect?
Thanks
Same here. No idea what causes it.
In my case it has been caused by the Asus Weather Widget

Same here. Its when, for some reason, the widget isnt able to connect to update. Lose the widget and it goes away.
Same thing here. I can't figure out what makes the widget not be able to update (it happens when I have a great wifi signal), but once it does, it's like the TF decides never to update again -- I'll get the error midday, and by dinner it still has not updated.
So wait, that would mean that its trying to update even when not being used because I'm not even using it and I get the same message. I use Beautiful Weather instead. Are you sure its not something else that's causing it?

Same here. I was getting it when I was using the Asus Widget and still now with the Beautiful Weather Widget.

Place the asus weather widget on your desktop, then open it and from the options put the update frequenzy on manual and delete the widget. After that I havent received any error messages anymore.
I get his message as well. Very annoying, especially when you're reading an ebook. Will remove the weather widget.
tought it was my e-mail account thanks for this
Do you know how to remove the ASUS Weather Widget?

The weather widget was the first thing I took out but I didn't do as you suggest. Will try that now. Thanks

That's great, unless you still want an automatically updating weather widget on the desktop. Any ideas on how to keep the widget and fix the error?

Use
I'm guessing it is built into the rom so will have to be rooted to remove it. I'm not rooted yet but I system panel lite and don't see it active in there. Maybe if you put it back, disable all automatic behaviour, and then remove the widget the process will stop.

Es-Task Manager
I experienced this same issue although the culprate for me was ES-Task Manager.
For me it was MyCloud

I still use the weather widget but I disabled the automatic location detection. I just defined it manually. Update is still automatic. No more issues...
hey i was just curious if there is a way to change your city on the weather app (not just look at another city). i know your city is found by your location but i want to see if there is anyway to change it to another city your not in right now
Open weather add city

thats not what i was asking but thanks anyway. what im asking is is there any way for the lock screen and your home screen to show the weather for another city besides the one you are in now?
soooo i figured out how to change the city on the famous clock/weather widget on the home screen all you have to do is hold the widget like you are going to remove it from the screen but instead drag it to "edit" in the top left and voila! you can also see full screen animations as an option which looks pretty cool

This is the exact same thing as gunnyman told you to do, you just got there in the more complicated way,

not everyone has the means or resources for this method, but you could move to that "other city". very low-tech resolution.

I already have two other cities added in the weather app. I just wanted to know if there was any way to view say Miami's weather on my home screen when I'm in NY without having to select the weather app and go to the city. The way I said how to do it avoids having to click on the weather app because it shows it on the home screen.

No, Gunny was adding it to the App, he was adding it to the Weather Clock widget, they're different procedures.
Hi. I have an issue with Whatsapp. It has all the permission s available, so does google contacts. Ut for some reason the chats in what's app shows just numbers, not contact says..anybody came across the fix?
It's permissions do make sure you've set EVERYTHING there's stuff like Modify And Create Contacts and other similar ones this depends on
To fix manually in the meantime just go to the main screen, go to send a new message, then the three dots & Refresh
Go to settings - Accounts & Sync - Whatsapp - More - Sync now
That seems to work

That was done. Refreshing it did 5he trick. Thanks guys.
Cool!
If it persists after a reboot check permissions again (this gets very boring on the Chinese rom) but refreshing always brought it back for me.
Enjoy
The easiest way to fix this is go to privacy setting and look at behaviour of the apps, specially the permissions that WhatsApp tried to get and was restricted, or returned blank. Then set that permission to allow always.

Do a quick search, this has been reported and fixed by many who had this.

Thing is, the fix is not permanent, I need to do it every few minutes. That's ridiculous
Why, I fixed mine once and it has never gone back. Have you checked all permissions, network restrictions, notification and battery settings and then go to compose a message, press on the 3 dots and refresh. You must be missing one of these things. Get yourself on to the EU ROM, you don't get this trouble. Good luck, you will crack it.

Are there any other battery settings apart form these on the app settings page (no restrictions)?
I am also on the Chinese rom and just fixed the permissions, marked autostart and excluded from battery saver. Everything works permanently.

The best way to do all this is not to look individually but search "battery" or "permissions" in settings. The layout isn't always great so I'd recommend searching for words instead of just scrolling through

Yes, you are right. What I find stunning in this phone is the fact 5hat the launcher after deep sleep reverts to a system one and lawnchair's settings for some reason are restored

- in "apps, manage apps, whatsapp, turn on autostart, battery saver no restrictions, restrict data usage checked wlan, mobile data

Many thanks for this. I picked up a transparent Mi 10 Ultra a week or so ago and had this issue after flashing the Xiaomi.eu stable ROM. I could refresh the contacts within the app, but it would only stick for ten minutes or so. So far these settings have stuck.....
