Stock weather widget shows sun at midnight - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My buddy must have a defective Nexus. He's using the stock Genie Weather widget and it still shows the sun, even at midnight.
There is no way Google would screw that up ? I thought ICS was revamped from the ground up over Gingerbread ? How could such an basic thing be overlooked ans not corrected before launch ?

Considering the news and weather app wasn't changed at all since it were introduced on the nexus one, it isn't that surprising. I don't get the big with it showing a sun instead of a moon though. Does your friend get confused and think that the sun is actually out, only to be disappointed when he sees the moon?

I like to think that his friend is afraid of the sun and is now stuck in his room unable to tell whether it's safe to go outside.
On topic: I haven't experienced this, it's not something silly like having AM/PM set wrongly is it?

Lol, I'm having a similar issue with the Genie widget also except my Genie widget still says Kim Jong Il has passed away even though that event happened last month.

No. Stock weather widget just works that way. It always showed only sun independently from current hour It is a little silly, but as jamontoast1291 said, it wasn't changed since it's debut in N1

That's insane, how could Google not update the Genie News and Weather widget since the Nexus One ? It is a very popular widget and should have been tweaked in ICS. Plus to still show the sun at midnight, and no moon is sad.

WidgeLocker from the market. Excellent highly customizable lockscreen app. Plus there is a whole thread on it with custom locks and such... Only thing is, it's not free.
Heres the link to that thread I mentioned earlier if you're considering the app:

+1. Widgetlocker is an amazing app

I got rid of widget locker on my N1...Too buggy and slow for me
Being able to put the Handcent widget on the lock screen is worth the price of the app alone. I'm not a fan of the popup.

thats the only solution....?
Widget Locker.
You can get a *Pirated* version to do some testing...
At first I didn't like it much & didn't think it justified the cost, but it's great to have all your Go To Apps right on the Lock Screen along with the customization...
Once you purchase the App you get a lot more options & a much stabler build... Highly recommended.
I guess I haven't figured it out. Ijust purchased widget Locker, and it's pretty cool, but I can't get it to overwrite my actual lock screen setup.
Right now I slide the unlock slider, and that takes me to the phone's unlock slider, to then enter pswrd. Any way to go from widgetlocker straight to pw?
OP dude how the heck have you had so many phones...4 iPhones??? LOL
I tried it out on CM 6.1 and it was glitchy as hell .

hahahah, if you really love phones like i do, you find ways to get new ones every so often. i like to trade a lot on craigslist. you can really get some killer deals. traded my iPhone 3gs for my brand new g2. best. deal. ever.
so is there no way to set a different wallpaper for lock screen and home screen?
well so far i dont see any other app that allows u to do what widget locker does. Wish their was a trial version of this aswell but i took the leap and bought it and i was not disappointed at all. Its not that buggy at all on the g2 as long as u dont lock it and unlock really fast... than the screen flashes with the lock but thats the only problem i have so far. I havnt even modded my widget locker till i looked into this post! and WOW i love it even more now. i dont remeber how much i paid for the app but.. worth it def.!

[Q] Weather APP

I've been noticing that my weather app for my current location always seems to be a few degree's off ...it always reads lower than the posted weather from the National Weather service. Does anyone know where it pulls it's info from? And is there a way of having it pull info from a different location?
BTW
Evo 4g running Fresh Evo 4.0.0.4
What weather app? The stock Sense one?
If so, I don't think so. You can try downloading a different app that supports the provider you wish to use. Where do you want it to pull info from?
One of my choices is a local weather service in my area that "most probably" have the correct weather info....I live in south Florida and the weather down here can change from one minute to the other... I would like a service that was more dependable. I know I might be looking for something that doesn't exist (yet) ...Thanks for the response
WoW so you want a app that tracks your weather sec by sec..?
Okay, well I use Beautiful weather which i bought from the Market
By far the most respectable weather app i have ever used
sooo many customizable weather situations its pretty f*cking cool!
I am staying in Osaka Japan and it is soo exactly perfect i never question it
Of course you have to choose what Weather Service you want to use in Options, Weather Service
but I use google and its much much more accurate then my girls IPhone4
That's exactly what I'm looking for (Hoping it has the UI as Sense) ...What's the name of the APP?

I finally broke down and and bought beautiful widgets because I wanted a smaller weather/clock widget so I could fit more on my home screen. It works well and is HIGHLY customizable. The weather is also more accurate because you can choose what source to use, google or accuweather.

[Q] 4.03 Notification Dropdown grey background?

Anyone notice something off with the backgrounds with certain apps in the notification dropdown on 4.03?
Specifically for me...
Widgetsoid
Wave Launcher
Tasker
Bumpin away.........
4.03 radio caused me some issues.
I could connect to google servers thru wifi but not 3G so my icons always stayed grey in 3G
Went back to 4.02 and instantly connected to google servers on wifi and 3G
just bumping OP... grey widgetsoid is totally cramping my otherwise slick GN's style

Cool glad its not just me. As for a solution I haven't been able to find one... I don't want to use MoreQuicklyPanel because you can't customize it =/
Was this fixed for any 4.03 ROMs yet? Can anyone please answer?
No solution, yet. Same on 4.0.2, actually.
-bZj
All my backgrounds are black and fine on a bunch of 4.02 roms... this is something effecting the framework in 4.03.
Bump for importance....
Reality is it isnt likely to get fixed any time soon and until Verizon releases a OTA radio upgrade/patch like they recently did with the Bionic as it too was having the same issues.
You do know bumping is against forums rules don't you?
By the fact only a couple of you are commenting would lead me to think it's not an issue at all...
Bumping is a joke in itself. Just from the last few comments in the last few minutes, we all all guilty of bumping the thread.

android 4.2.1 alarm clock weird problems.

Maybe this is weird for u but
since I upgraded my GNex last week, I got this weird issue regarding the alarm clock.
Alarm clock is very important for me cause I usually wake up late and I need to wake up early for my job.
I set my alarm at exactly 8:30 in the morning, the problem is that it will alarm even if it's not yet 8:30AM..
sorry for my bad english..

are you using stock rom? cuz last time i was using custom rom and somehow the clock wasnt automatically updated, making it appears to be earlier while it is in fact already 830am. (the clock numbers just arent updated)
of course, this only happened on that 1 rom i tried, never happened to me on stock rom.
Never had this problem.
I am on cyanogenmod, and have used several nightlies.
