I seem to have an issue with the stock weather widget. I have it set to refresh every three hours but it never seems to. I tried searching and found similar problems on other phones but not the Nexus. When I go in and try to manually refresh it never does, or it will after multiple attempts at trying to refresh manually. I use WiFi a lot but GPS is always on so I don't think its that...anyone else out there with the Galaxy Nexus that experiences this?
Faintly remember the problem w/ the stock 2.3 weather widget on my G2...
Never used it on the GNex, as 1weather looks about 1000x better. I'll load it up and try.

Hello All,
Just got my Incredible Rooted after some initial troubles. I removed CityID, Footprints, and Peep during the adb shell.
Now my GPS is constantly on when the phone is on. The Icon is always there in the notification bar.
Anybody have any idea why this is? or how to stop it? Its killin my battery. THANKS!
Got it!
Beautiful Widgets was causing the GPS usage. Went away the second I uninstalled it. I am reinstalling now and I doubt it will come back.
Sorry for wasting a thread. Hope this helps any other users.
Mine was doing that too. I dropped the Beautiful Live Wallpaper I was using and rebooted the phone, then the GPS stopped coming on and it seems to be fine now. I still have Beautiful Widgets installed, and never uninstalled it either.
mine seems to stay on. no widgets or anything.

Tell me if you still have the Google navigation icon.
I don't know if this would work, since I still have not rooted myself (just got back from LA and am setting up a proper dev environment for some real programming first... hopefully =p). But there are several widgets (one in sense, one in base Android I believe) that allow you to switch GPS/wifi/3G data/etc with a click of a button. The android-base widget is called "Power Control" and the HTC buttons can be selected by going to Widgets => Settings, then dragging and dropping which ones you want to use.
I hope the solution can be this easy (although it seems to rarely be, heh).
Hey there,
I'm having some rather odd clock issues with my phone. The time is "right" but not really. I use LauncherPro and WidgetLocker. I've never had any issues with these. However, WidgetLocker has its own clock widget. It works fine half the time. The other half of the time it is one hour behind my phone time. But that's not always right either.
For example, it's 9:30PM. The widget time will say 8:30PM. A few minutes pass, and the widget time is at least an hour behind sometimes a few minutes. The system bar shows 9:30PM as well, but then once I open the keyboard or rotate the phone, it will update to the current time, let's just say something like 9:37PM.
Both the apps listed are up to date, and I'm running CM 7.2.0 RC1.
Phone is rooted, I removed a few included APKs when I flashed the ROM. Is there a certain preinstalled APK that might have been affected by my removing it that updates the time, or does anyone know a fix?
Thanks!
Hello.
I just got a new Galaxy Nexus, it has around 24 hours of use.
It randomly restarts itself.
I am was able to replicate this, even if device was set to factory reset and no software installed, I go to a blank home screen, go to live wallpapers preview, pick the first one (some interactive dots animation), now while previewing wallpaper if I rotate the device in landscape and portrait around 5-10 times it freezes and restarts itself.
I tried factory reset from menu and the ones from the forced boot menu "Android System Recovery", issue remains.
The OS version is 4.0.4 (it says it is latest), I am wondering if newer ones can fix this or I should just return the phone?
Anyone else can try the above ? (Rotating the live wallpaper preview multiple times fast).
I am VERY disappointed because I really like all the rest
Video of the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTWqniVQ06w
Any ideas? I posted a video of the issue ^.
return the phone. if its broken out of the box, then get it returned, don't screw around with it.
If returning is a Hassel, I would put stock Google image of 4.1.1 and check.

Does it do it with all lwp's? Or are you just hunting for a flaw with completely UN-natural behaviors of rotating 10 times in the lwp preview screen? Can't check mine, not many run "stock" around here .
*edit* Gave up at 30 rotations with phase beam (I don't have the bubble one) and device never rebooted. Running 4.0.4 custom rom.
good day.
@chopper the dog: Thanks for trying, it did that in other live wallpapers too (like the sound Spectrum one).
Mine is probably related to sensor and not live wallpaper, first time I noticed it I was in photo gallery and rotating the device.
@atifsh: I would like to test the 4.1.1 but the normal update doesn't come (it is a YAKJUXW if that matters).
Is there an easy and warranty safe method to put the 4.1.1 from Google?
Today I got another one (in same country, DIFFERENT company/store), unsealed it, tested in screen saver, it instantly restarted itself. So I rejected that one and keept the previous phone, this must be a software problem, right?
Mine has just barely started crashing, like within the last few days it randomly resets EVERY day. I am rooted, not sure what rom i installed on it, but its running 4.1.1 and franco's kernal. I am wondering if it has to do wtih live wallpapers. Its starting to get very annoying, especially when I am navigating around town and resets.
@adamhlj maybe you have another issue, I seen someone on youtube demonstrating how Galaxy Nexus restarts itself when losing Wi-fi connectivity, you mentioned resets while navigating around town, so it might be related.
Now about my issue, I updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 official images using this thread info and no restarts so far (~3 days).
Now in live wallpapers if I try hard enough (rotating many times) I can make it generate a force close of live wallpapers ("Sorry live wallpapers closed") but...
no restarts anymore.
Good for you. Hope you used fastboot commands and not some tool kit.
on my semi broken gnex on 4.1.1, the problem doesn't exist

It restarted itself when I was out far away from any wifi signal. I was using it as my GPS on a road trip. I wasn't particularly happy when it reset, tho fortunately I was still in an area of good data reception so I could re-route.
And I have removed the live wallpaper, and the phone has stopped crashing.

Same here! I tested it for a few days , it seams Live wallpaper activity forces it to randomly reboot. I didn't notice it at first because I always run live wallpapers. (renown ones, not just any LWP). 2nd day no reboot with a regular wallpaper..within hours of using it, rebooted three times in less than half a day. Keep in mind, its just on by my computer desktop or counter. No activity.
I don't have any issue when rotating my live wallpapers back an forth from portrait to landscape quickly numerous times in preview or home screen on my galaxy nexus 4.2, not 1 reboot, freeze or lag, you must have a faulty gnex or try updating to 4.2 an see if that helps.

I recently rooted my DINC (follwoing instrucstions over on androidforums), and then installed Touch Of Blue 3.0.
Before rooting, when I tapped on the HTC Clock widget, I was then able to set alarms, timers, etc.
After rooting and TOB 3.0, I still have the Clock widget, but nothing happens when I tap on the clock - I can't get to any alarm, timer, anything.
I noticed TOB had been updated since I installed it, so I installed the newer version, but still no alarm clock.
Did some reading on the forum and found out that maybe the widget doesn't work anymore (?). So I installed Fancy Widget, which looks like the regular HTC clock widget. I have Fancy Widget configured to launch the alarm when I touch on the time. But still, when I touch it, nothing happens - no alarm function is brought up. If I configure Fancy Widget to do other things when I touch on the time, those other things properly happen.
So, I am wondering if I lost the alarm function on this phone?
And if so, how do I get it back, because I really like that alarm widget. Because I couldn't get that alarm clock to display, I installed a different alarm app, but I like the widget much better, and would prefer to have that back.
Any suggestions?
Here's the kicker, though. I had also rooted another DINC, and installed TOB 2.2, and now the updated TOB 3.0. On that phone, the widget works fine and brings up the alarm/timer/etc just fine.
I wonder how I lost it on one DINC but not on the other. Either way, how do I get it back?

It does work on 3.0? It shouldnt, because i unknownly removed it by removing the worldclock.apk. Tob2.2 still has the worldclock.apk so it should work on it. I assume on the phone not working you did a clean flash of 3.0, and on the other a flash over of 2.2 with 3.0 without a wipe. Since there was no wipe, worldclock.apk carried over to 3.0.
It wouldnt work on mine either but i dont use the alarm so i never noticed, and no one else has ever mentioned it. Once i put the worldclock.apk back in /system/app, it started working fine again.
To fix it flash this thru recovery. http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/World_Clock.zip

Thanks! That worked like a charm and was easy.
Yes, the phone that went directly to TOB3.0 after rooting was the one without the world_clock.
The phone that went to TOB2.2 after rooting, and then added 3.0 still had the world_clock, and yes, I just flashed 3.0 over 2.2 without clearing all the mounts and stuff.
Now... Any idea why the DINC that went from TOB2.2 to TOB3.0 has trouble with Google Locaiton services (it sporatically works, and does not work for the clock widget), while the DINC that went right to TOB3.0 as well as the other 2 DINC 2's in the house do not have any problems with Google Location services? The problem with the location services has been since rooting. The locaiton in the clock widget has not worked since then, and Maps rarely gets the current location either.
Hello all,
Does anyone else use the Interactive Dials watch face to get weather from stock Android Wear? I've been having a long-running issue with mine.
Basically, the weather dial will turn to dashes sometime overnight, and won't return until after I've been on the move and arrived at work. When it's showing the dashes, and I click on the dial to try to update the weather, I get an error stating that weather is not available and to check my location settings. My location settings are on high accuracy, so I don't know what else could cause it.
I've found a couple of workarounds from Reddit, mainly to either re-assign the dial to Weather again, or to download third party watch faces. I was wondering if you guys came across this and found a resolution for the native weather dial?
I was hoping the Wear MM update would fix this, but apparently I didn't...
I am running a custom ROM, Pure Nexus. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I've also had this issue. Very annoying and quite stupid that I have to reboot my watch every day for it to fix it.
Same issue with my 360, very annoying. Does anybody know how to resolve. Phone is in accuracy mode not battery saving. Android wear has permission to access location.
easiest temp fix i could find was just choosing a different watch face, then changing back.
So annoying.
