I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I venture between Seychelles and Australia often and I desperately need a weather application that is accurate. I have tested many and I cant seem to find anything with the info I need.
I am looking for:
Estimated Rain Volume
Current Temp
Weather warnings
Nice looking Widget for my homescreen
Have you tried weather bug? It's on the market and I think it has all the bells you need.

I actually bought this ages ago, we had 30mm of rain on Saturday and weather bug reported zero. I wonder what the ozzies are using

I am affraid we have no good weather app for android yet. Had Weather Pro on iPhone which was state of art - still no alternative on market
is anyone having any issues with weather not showing on phone, been like this for nearly 3 hrs now, Orange network.
No problems here, im on O2
I had problems all yesterday where my 'current location' would not show the weather, just the name of where I was... places I had loaded by name, i.e. london were showing fine.
Me too! Remove the widget and then re-add it. Worked for me!

why do you need an app to tell you the weather?
look out the window
Because I can't see the forecast for tomorrow from my window. And my nose lacks a thermometer, also...
I fixed the problem I had by turning off GPS and back on again...

sure
sorry for my obnoxiousness.. i just find the HTC weather app rubbish, all I ask from a weather app is a forcast for the next 24 hours.. the Google Genie widget has a good go, but really that's annoying too, with its % chance of rain thing
The day the met office release an app with decent satalite images and pressures, finally weather forcasting in the UK on Android will make some sense.
ps I can tell the temperature with my nose.. if its either hot, warm, cool, cold or bloody freezing
I am using a stock Desire with 2.2 on it and I occassionally have this problem as well. It is sometimes pretty annoying. I find having to delete it and reinstall it a pain in the backside.
I would also be interested if anyone found a more permanent solution. I agree the weather programs are not super accurate, but I live in a country where the weather changes quite often and it is nice to see how I have to dress to go to work everyday.
sorry if someone else has posted this
i have recently been getting this message
"the application htc sense (process com.htc.cs) has stopped unexpectedly"
i have seen plenty of posts around the net relating to com.htc.launcher but few mentioning .cs.
I have a desire HD running 2.2.1 software 1.72.405.3
this is happening everytime i unlock the phone and when i run alot of apps.
i have found that if i disable htc sense sync then it doesnt happen.
i have uninstalled all apps that have been installed recently but still no fix.
i like htc sence and would prefer to keep sync active, so if anybody could help i would very much appreciate it.
The general feeling on here is that you should disable HTC Sense as:
A/ It's heavy on the CPU and consumes a lot of battery.
B/ The website side of things is still beta and mostly broken anyway.
Sorry that's not what you want to hear, but I think that's what most people will tell you I'm afraid.
Why do you want to keep it? Maybe there's an alternative app(s) that can do the same thing for you.

if its the only way i suppose i will have to keep it disabled. is there any part of the website i could still use. i like the phone location feature and ring lost phone feature.
if i kept it disabled is there a way to keep them features.

Thanks for the reply

Hopefully with the release of all the new phones from HTC it will be working sooner rather than later! Only HTC know when though. You could email and ask. If anything it will show them they need to hurry up as people want to use it properly.
As for keeping phone location and ring features, they're not something I use personally so I don't have any specific recommendations but a good place to start would be here:

I'm actually going to look into them myself now too!
ok then i like the look of waveSecure but any idea on a way of making my phone ring at full volume even if its on silent. ive used this feature a couple of times and i find it very handy.
thank you
Sorry mate, no idea! Best bet is to check out the app descriptions and test them out.

I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking you can use 'wheres my droid' one of the first apps I ever downloaded. You just text your phone with a certain message and it will ring loud as you wish. Also if your gps receiver is on you can even gets its gps co-ordinates
Guys have a look at "lockout mobile security" you can track your phone, rings etc.

Hi Guys,
I may not be the only one in this situation so maybe someone found an answer to this.
I've recently upgraded to an HTC One X (Super amazing phone) from an Android converted HD2(brilliant phone).
The only problem I've noticed is that the Facebook widget does not update on my new One X as when i turn on my HD2 works perfectly and updates as it should. I can still see updates from days ago but when i go into the actual app i can clearly see status updates etc.
Anyone having the same problem? Is there any way to resolve it?
I apologize if this issue has been raised somewhere else on the forum.
Thanks
Am I the only one with this problem???

apparently so..is facebook the only widget that does not updates itself?
Looks that way...

Mine's not working either on my Sensation - worked for a day or so and now just shows the same update - app itself works fine
Dunno about Facebook, but the Twitter widget only updates when told to. Also, I'm trying to find out why Facebook and FB Messenger don't send me notifications.
I have the same problem with mine, but when using any non-HTC widget. For example, I use a couple Beautiful Widgets (the clock and the battery status) and both of them just get stuck after a while. A reset resolves it for a while, sometimes a day or more and sometimes only for a few hours but eventually the clock and the battery indicator just get stuck. I have tried other clocks and battery indicator widgets and they too get stuck, so does the stock google calendar widget. It seems like it might be a problem with sense.
I tried to use my friendstream widget to update my FB and Twitter profiles twice yesterday, it just didn't do anything at all... I had to go into each App and update from there, then later in the afternoon it worked fine...
Buggy I guess?
I'm not sure if this helps the facebook widget, but I have tried clearing the data and re-setting the widget up. Seems to keep things going for a good while.
Same problem. No issues on Nexus and had similar problem on Sensation so pretty sure it has something to do with Sense
mine is not working either. facebook, friends widget, etc. slow and must be done manually
I think it's something to do with processes in the background, whilst Twitter seems to actively update for me, Facebook doesn't. I always close Facebook because it eats battery like a fat kid in a donut shop. Facebook for HTC Sense doesn't exist anymore, what updates in the Facebook app's news feed is what you see in Friend Stream and they update at the same frequency.

I'm the same on my HOX . My Fb widget hasn't updated for a week. The app itself is fine. This behaviour is no different from when i had my Desire! I've tried many widgets but it's the functionality of the official widget I want.
Solved for me
Was having this problem with any non-HTC widget, including a battery widget, the google calendar widget, the beautiful clock/weather widget among them. What seems to work is unchcking the "Fast boot" option in the power settings. I did this yesterday and my widgets haven't stopped now for almost 24 hours.
That's the first thing I turn off and yet the Facebook widget will not update unless I reboot the phone
Has anyone found a solution to this? Can it be that Sense is acting up as usual and because of sense our widgets are not updating as they should?

Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung
anyone get a previous version working? i really miss a widget..

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?
Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.
i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

Then there's no reason to even buy a high end phone especially with Samsung's less than stellar apps. Just my opinion, but like a**holes, everybody has one.

The widget is gone for me also. Happened when I updated the Google Android Messages app on Google play store yesterday. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Google SMS app several times which was not stock on my phone, have cleared my phone's cache a from the safe mode screen, and also cannot find the SMS widget for stock messages app or Facebook Messenger.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:
