When I go to the weather widget and try to scroll to my "current location" I get a force close of Sense.
I have noticed that my current location comes up as 0 degrees longitude and 0 degrees latitude (I don't live in the north pole!).
I did get this working at one point but did a full reset for another reason and forgot how I did it. I do remember being surprised so it was definitely more luck than judgement.
Has anyone else come across this?

What was the forecast?
I just wish they would update the widget to grab all weather it was the same with my old htc hero it never had weather for my location.

Very cold! not really, it was just force closing so I never saw it. Actually, I don't know why as I have done nothing but now it just says "No weather data available".
I guess it's good if it doesn't force close but I would like it to work for local weather. Has anyone got this widget showing weather for their current location. E.g. Croydon (current)?

Mine changes as I drive along, works a treat and is one of the things I love about the phone
Yes, working on mine, but unfortunately the placename it's picked for where I am, despite being the correct name is not the correct place! EG Newtown, Wales vs Newtown, England.
I seems to think it's a balmy 16 Celsius where I am, not the 6 it actually is!

Clearly because that's 90 degrees North Latitude! 0 0 is the equator even less likely that your living there.
use beautiful widgets ... picks up alot more areas ... and skinnable ...

Anyone know It's possible to get speed camera alerts while using the navigation app?
I have this strange tenancy to drive slightly above the speed limit and from using it in the past, I'm sure it.doesn't warn you about speed cameras. I know I should just keep alert, but there are times when you lose concentration.

a) Not available in the navigation app, try a different gps application.
b) If you're prone to losing concentration, please don't speed.

Amen to that!
Try Radardroid. I believe its a gps app and alerts you if any speed camera is on your route.

I use a combination of two applications.
GPS Software - Copilot 8 Live (Works very well, very nice software)
Speed Cameras - Trapster - Again works well and is free from the market.
Trapster runs in the background, too.

shame that Copilot 8 Live isn't free, but Trapster seems to be working very well !!

Didn't mean it like that. I meant concentration as in looking for speed cameras.
Also when I say speed, it'd only be a few mph, nothing excessive. I like to go at least 5mph under the speed limit when going through a camera (i don't trust them)

Copilot may not be free, but it is very cheap for what it is and a far superior navigation solution than Google Navigation (which is still pretty good for free!).

Agreed - the software is worth every penny.
I hate Google Nav - don't like it one bit.
Copilot Live V8 is fantastic. I have downloaded every map that they have currently available and my Copilot folder is slightly larger than 4Gb in size. It has hung on loading just once and I had to reboot the phone then it was ok. Had installed vlingo just before that and wondered if too many apps were running.
It is more accurate than my Garmin 765t but of course lacks a lot of the refinements of a dedicated satnav device. It is certainly accurate to within <10m and I would say around 3 m.
It does not have speed and red light cameras which my garmin has.
I find some of the countries maps have no POI available and only limited categories in others. Not sure how many Favorites you can store for each country.
I have tested it against the Garmin and routing is nearly always the same.
I recommend this app to anyone and it is worth the money if you pay for it.

Mine does (UK).
Ha ha ha, why would you download every map there is for it?
Just use the map for your country and you will see it even starts up quicker after that. My Copilot folder size is <- 200mb or so.

Has a solution been found? I have the same issue. I thought it might have been a ROM issue, but after trying a few ROMs I still have the same issue. Is there some setting I need to activate within Calendar?
Have you both checked your calendar app that you've got an appointment within the next 7 days?

It works for me, do you have a location in your event? I'm not sure when they pop , but I just made a dummy one for 6 pm and it showed up about 530. I can check my settings if you like.

Sharing ur setting will be appreciated
I didn't realise I needed to set locations, but some do have them. I'll go through them and add addresses to the all and see how it goes then.

I'm not sure it makes a difference, but my appts are set up with notifications in the calendar app. I can't help but think a location is required, because the notification is based on whether you need to leave for traffic issues in Google Now. However, the dummy appt I set was located at home, and it popped up.
The GN settings I have are - Card appears for any meeting, and if travel time needed, standard. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help!
I might try a dummy appt too.
For my settings, I seem to have different options... I have - For any meeting, Only if far away, and In evening for next day. At the moment I only have the first one ticked which I thought would bring up appts regardless of time and travel...

Not sure, but they came packaged with Liquid ROM. Can't see it being the issue coz it hasn't mattered which ROM/ gapps I've flashed.

Fairly recently, independent of whether on ICS or JB ROMs, I am getting these "stars" in my status bar with ridiculous ads. Can anyone tell me where they are coming from, and more importantly, how to make them go away? Most recent one is "Maximize Battery Life Now". And as an aside, not sure if it's 100% related, but the "location set by GPS" notification is there as well, which is not how it usually is, meaning, most of the time GPS is on but does not tell me it is.

It does, just trying to think of something. Does it let you pick a weather source? I'm using Weather Watchface, and I get a lot better results from picking Yahoo Weather vs. Open Weather Map in the app's settings.
Edit...Actually, the watchface app on the phone, possibly, is what's responsible for getting the data, so maybe it doesn't have location permission?

right now explorer but the weather does not show up on any of them. I have tried several. Im going to download a weather watchface from the store and see if that changes anything.

Okay, I just tried Explorer, and it initially didn't show the temperature (showed -/-), but after a minute or so, it started showing it.
This is cliché, but have you tried restarting the watch? Seems worth a shot.
Reinstall did the trick.
Super!
So all of a sudden the large version of the Google weather widget no longer takes me to Google weather when tapping it. The small version does. I have cleared the Google cache and rebooted.
Thinking this was just me a pixel 4a has the same problem...
Confirmed here also. Tried removing old widget from Nova Launcher and put a new one of the same widget. Tried rebooting. I made sure all my Play Store apps are up to date - I got them all updated, and checked for a Play System Update (none there).
No change in behavior.

Yep, confirmed the smaller one still works when clicked on.
Just an update. . Uninstalling the Google app/ back date fixes the issue for now.
I can't believe more people aren't reporting this issue. It's happening on all three pixel devices in our house.
I've reported to Google.

Thanks! Maybe more people use the smaller one than the larger one - or don't even realize there's a larger one available. I actually only use it as a backup to confirm my main weather app's reports, and I have a third weather app installed as well since sometimes two are just as (occasionally) unreliable as one.
Slight necro, but I just realized today that the larger weather widget is working again. I have the widget two screens to the right from my primary homescreen, so I don't look at it too often. I assume it started working with one of the February updates, although I don't know for certain when it started working again.
