Weather widget doesn't update location - HTC One X

Hi guys.
My HTC One X stopped updating locations in the HTC weather widget even though it is checked in the menu and there is WIFI connection.
Any Ideas guys?

Google location services must also be turned for that.

Nop... That's on as well

Don't worry about it just yet. The HTC locations service misbehaves sometimes. It might come back.
If you wanted to, you could clear the data from the weather and location service apps and reboot and see if it starts working after a while.

Are you having this issue at the time i am writing this?

He wrote it 11 hours ago.

Yeah... i asked this because i was having this issue since yesterday but it seems to be working fine since last 3-4 hours.

Thanks guys,
I'll try it know... It just bothers a bit when it doesn't update...

Hi,
I seem to have the same or a similar problem. If I keep GPS turned off then my location gets reported correctly on the weather widget. However, if I turn on GPS for locations then it gets messed up and changes to "Current location".
The only way to get it to recover is to stop the HTC Locations service and clear its data. Then reboot the phone.
This is a real pain as I use the GPS quite a lot for mapping etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this happening in the first place?
Thanks.

Chk thi out buddy..mit work for u as well..worked for my HTC OneV..though location sercive still is an issue...
anyways go thru this..
1. I changed the app to home location. And of course it said home location was set until I got to the main screen where it still had an old location where I traveled to a few days earlier.
2. I took out the battery turned power back on. Still same problem.
3. Then I pressed down and held my weather clock widget on my main page and dragged it to the garbage.
4. Went to the main screen, found and empty spot and held down for the widgets to appear.
5. Scrolled to the clock widget, chose the weather clock combo again.
6. Chose my home location.
7. Looked at the main screen and WHOALA! It was working again.
8. Note that in my situation I did not have to uninstall the app.
another alternative...
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Then go to 'All' and scroll down to 'HTC Weather sync provider'.
Select 'Clear Data'.
Then Select 'Force Stop'.
Then go to your home screen and restart the weather app by tapping under the time and then update the weather. The weather should now be available on the homescreen.

Anyone else having problems with the HTC weather not syncing recently?

I've recently had trouble with using Google as the provider for Beautiful Widgets. It's fine since changing to Accuweather!

I don't suppose this will apply to yours; but I have a rooted sensation, and I decided that the "HTCLocationsWidget3d.apk" was surplus to requirement.
This is needed for the weather; upon reinstalling the file the locations updated correctly.

Hello
I am facing the same problem as ppl described here and all over the android and htc forums. None of this works for me. Or no. It works for couple of hrs, a day maybe and then again goes back to Current Location.
The interesting thing is when the weather stop to update my location, facebook wont find me also. But Sygic works fine, Google maps also. Having this in mind I can say that my GPS works fine. So the problem is in HTC/Google things.

HTC News Feed doesn't update automatically

Like the title says.
I've got background sync enabled, I've set the news feed to update every hour and I've got wi-fi enabled, but I get no updates unless I hit the refresh button.
Any idea what might be the problem here?
Mine dont either mate and it puts them in the wrong order
same problem here
Same here.
Same issue here.
Same here.
Same problem here with the addition that even after a manual update by clicking the bottom of the widget, the widget is still showing me the old reports and not the newly fetched ones... until I click on top to go further into a more expanded view.
Another query to this I've been researching is if there is any way to set the number of days to keep the old reports showing?
It becomes a mess very quickly like this.

i have the same issue, is there anybody with a solutio?
it must be issue with Sense's HTC News app...
Doesn't seem to be a fix for it, whereas the failure of scheduled updates in Friendstream can be fixed by re-entering the desired auto-update regime.
Annoying, but made me look for other options, found Newsroom which is awesome (although dedicated Google Reader users should probably look elsewhere until an update adds that funcationality).

[Q] Has Anyone Had Problems with the HTC Weather Widget Showing the Wrong Location?

Has anyone had a problem with the HTC Weather Widget not showing the correct location?
Mine used to work quite well (updating to different location as I moved around) and all of a sudden it got "stuck". Now it just shows one particular town no matter where I am.
I tried removing and re-adding the widget, turning on GPS, rebooting, updating roaming towers, etc and nothing seems to work. I did some googling and other people have reported it with the Incredible and a couple other HTC devices but no real solution. I am running the Virtous Rom but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Anybody have any ideas?
Does it say 1/2 or 1/1?
If it says 1/2 or 2/2 then swype up and down and it changes locations.

Ah no i mean the "current" location that is suppose to be automatically selected based on what I guess is the local cell towers.
Basically the one that is 1/2.
Had that and fixed it
I had it happen seemingly by itself until I realized I had been messing with a few things to try to max battery life. Tap the weather, go to it's menu, hit settings and see if update automaticlly is checked. If not then check it and back up and hit settings again and see if it unchecked itself cause thats what mine did. If so then you must go to phone's settings, accounts and sync, turn on background data, auto sync, and weather. All fixed. Check Your update interval and make sure it is often enough as well. Hope it helps.
Been looking everywhere on how to fix this, Finally got the right answer, big thanks to madman34
Random
I'm glad you found a fix. I do notice sometimes (a couple times since I bought my DInc) that I get random weather locations like, Japan. This is probably more of a network/gps error and not the actual weather app itself.

[Q] Weather Widget not keeping 5 day forecast

I have looked all over and others have many issues, but i can't find one that is specific to mine, so here we go:
1: the weather no longer shows up in the calendar and yes, i do have that setting checked
2: the weather widget only keeps the 5 day forecast if i am connected to the internet. once i am not, it loses it and i have no weather info.
here is what i am thinking... i have the settings to update automatically and i have it to update every 3 hours. what i have noticed though is that when i am connected to the internet and i click on the weather widget from the clock to see the 5 day forecast, the weather updates by itself, every time.
so i think my issue is that it keeps trying to update my current location but if no internet, then it shows nothing.
i should also mention, that if i add a location, it keeps the weather info.
no clue what to do. i have removed widget, put back, took off update, made it once a day, put back.. tried everything, so wide open for suggestions. it worked fine for 2 months and now.. problems.

Calendar Crashes

My calendar crashes the phone when I open it. I had a update a few days ago and since then it's crashing, previously it worked fine.
If I uninstal the app how do I get it back again?

Hi
It seems the update has "created" a bug with the "weather framework"
If have traced this issue here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716075
Maybe a solution is to disable the "weather" display in the calendar
Other people have reported that this solved their problems with
the calendar.
Just give it a try.
You could also try to create a logcat and insert it here that
would help to "nail down" the issue.
Regards
max
What is "logcat"? I seem to have made some headway!
I cleared the data (there was no cache) a few times, this didnt help, it still crashed although not as quick.
I don't always have sync on but when I did this morning and let it sync-up the calendar worked fine. I still have the weather app sync with the calendar but I'll disable this if I have any more problems. For now it seems to work fine :good:

I have also had this problem with my girlfriend's HTC One V.
Whenever I try and get into the settings to disable the weather on the calendar it reboots. I've also tried turning off weather sync in 'Accounts & Sync' can I assume this is a software balls-up from HTC for all One V's?

Try the following
-start the Weather app and sync it once
-then start calendar and turn off weather in settings
-stop calendar
-stop weather app
-start calendar
And send an error report to HTC when it asks after a reboot. (if you have enabled it)
Maybe they will react faster if a lot of those reports arrive
Regards
max
I must have sent them about 10 reports
I synced up everything via the sync menu in settings, took ages but the calendar stopped crashing for me this way.
Solution to problem
Here's the fix;
Go to the dialpad (phone) and type in *#*#4636#*#*
Enter phone information and scroll to set preferred network type. It will usually be WCDMA Preferred as default
Specify GSM AUTO(PRL). Tap the home button. Then go to settings> apps> all> calendar> clear data.
Restart the handset.

Hi, I also have this issue, i think this happened after the last system update. I tried the solution in the last answer but the issue still appear. Hope HTC soon fix this thing.

I have the same issue. Calendar doesn't sync and if I go into the App and change the view to Agenda it's a guaranteed crash.
I have this too
Hi there,
Seen a coupel of fixes for this, but nothing seems to work.
I tried this and it let me back into the calendar, but then rebooted.
Any further thoughts?

Hi,
almost went crazy when phone reboots trying to open the calendar. Since it's my second one after returning the first HTC One V because it went dead(QHSUSB_DLOAD). But these steps worked for me:
-start the Weather app and sync it once
-then start calendar and turn off weather in settings
For me it was enough just to turn off weather in calendar. For reference here is the full post. Thanks maxwen

Don't know about voice assistant bug as I use it but Chrome syncs up just fine. I see all my bookmarks, history, and tabs. Maybe try logging out of Chrome on your desktop and logging back in. And maybe the same thing for your phone.

Ever since I updated to Android 7.0 I was unable to use file transfer or ADB. This has to do with my phone for sure. Not the drivers on my PC.
My Wifi drops and reconnects whenever I take the phone out of my pocket and open an app that uses data. My data usage has gone up significantly with the Wifi drops. Appears there's others having problems on google product forums with no workaround at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

One of possible fixes I can think of is to open your wifi settings and look for "Keep WiFi on during sleep". If you had set it up correctly before update it shouldn't change but who knows.
If above doesn't help, I think the problem is located somewhere in system files but other than searching for it, I suggest you to do a full wipe and clean install

It appears 4x1 for me, just remember that the phones screen is 5x5 so even 4 can't fill it completely

I'm experiencing the same problem and I'm not the only one. Do a search on 'nougat wifi problem' and you'll get several hits. Unfortunately, no real solutions. Google advises a reset to factory settings, but that doesn't help everybody. They also tell to reset network settings. This does seem to help me, but when I start manually adding/saving networks and I hit 12, I will loose all visible networks and when I turn WiFi off and on, the device keeps on scanning for networks.
An "issue" (221056) was opened at code.google.com/p/android, but it's been more than 2 weeks and Google still hasn't resolved the situation...
Added a new bug on first message
Weather widget bug solved
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature but it actually annoys the hell out of me. While on the lockscreen, pulling down the notification shade (pulling down from the status bar) doesn't expose the quick toggle settings, instead it attempts to pull down the entire notification shade (if there are any notifications) or the quick settings panel. Cool. Whatever. Except the entire Notification Shade or Quick Settings panel comes down and then immediately retracts up. Swiping down from the status bar again results in the same behavior. I can do this over and over until I finally get angry and unlock the phone, even though all I wanted to do was turn off Bluetooth or something. So stupid.
Microphone lockscreen bug still on 7.1.1
