Like the title said, my google now only shows weather. I've enabled everything from search history to location history and for some reason all I ever get is the weather card and nothing else. I've also set all the other different cards on the highest priority, so I don't think that's the problem either.
Have you turned Google Now off and on? Have you appointments within the next 7 days and are you near a traffic station?

You need to use Google.Com as your search and set language to English.
I've found that Google Now cards basically show up whenever they feel like it. However, each card can be turned on/off individually, and on top of that there's also a 'Card Appears' setting. Check the 'Card Appears' for the missing cards and see if you meet the criteria for them to show up. If you don't (e.g. you're not near public transportation or haven't searched for flights recently) then they won't appear. I remember that for weather Card Appears is generally set to Always, which is why it's the only one you ever see.
You can also sometimes hit 'Show more cards' towards the bottom of Google Now in order to coerce it to show more.

had this problem yesterday and it has come back.
Everywhere is either sunny or clear.
Temperature at default location is different than if I set that location as an addition.
It doesn't seem to update - last night it was telling me it was sunny at midnight. Doesn't update even when manually synced.
Have checked all obvious sync issues in menus - and location is set, etc.
Have closed app, have cleared caches
Have factory reset - problem recurs.
Any thoughts? Conflict with another app? I haven't downloaded anything that (explicitly) syncs though, apart from the Maps update.
I've also had problems with Weather syncing. Again, the added locations update fine but for the "where I am" part there is no weather display. This is intermittent but it doesn't seem to be related to the location.
Might it be connection problems? i.e. the Desire can't tell where it is? If it gets two mast lock-ons rather than three, it might compromise location update?
Perhaps, but odd it used to work at home and now doesn't and odd it gives two different reports on the weather at the same place?
I am going to wait and see if it sorts itself, somehow, and then consider a return as it really narks me that it doesn't work.
I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms as described by al89nut.
What apps have you installed Entropy? If a conflict, perhaps we can narrow it by seeing what we have in common?
Can someone whose Desire works try something?
Add where you are to the weather widget (so you are in Southampton, add Southampton) and tell me if it gives exactly the same temperature and the same weather forecast for the future as the homescreen (inc temps)

The only ones we share are Astro, Docs to Go and Goggles, plus possibly currency convertor if XE.
For me this all started when I could only connect as a disk drive and as not charge only, so eventually I went for a factory reset. I am fairly sure it worked 100% before that, but some of the apps were loaded shortly before.
I have just tried removing the widget (HTC clock) from the homescreen and re-installing it on another. And setting the news to sync automatically. Who knows?
EDIT Nope
Current = 57% and clear
Added same location= 52% and partly cloudy.
At least it isn't sunny at night
EDIT 2
manual update and they agree - first time. Maybe sorted by reinstalling widget
Now the effing thing tells me I am currently in a town 10 miles away.
I am getting roundly sick of this buggy piece of **** phone
So it's most certainly not the other apps. I just wonder why not many more people seem to be experiencing this bug.
I have a weird problem with the weather,
I dont auto update the weather but i do it manually when I wake up, i noticed something interesting, not sure wither its real or just my imagination
At morning i sync it (Home WiFi) it shows the Sun, and then i go work and i dont come back till late noon, i get back, take a shower watch some TV and then play with my desire again (by that time it is around 7:00 PM)
when i see it, i see the same temperature (cuz i didnt sync it since morning) but I dont see the Sun, ... i see the moon! and I didnt connect to WiFi except in the morning.
Anyone have this? is it a feature that checks the time of the day and shows Moon or Sun? or is it just the phone syncing offline? lol
The daytime default is to show the full sun, eg if it can't grab data for whatever reason). Guess at night it is the moon. So if mine can't update, it says it is sunny everywhere. But sometimes it is sunny at night.
I now think it is a signal lock issue.
I have the same problem, i travel a lot for my work and when i am in an other area it will show no weather for it and it will not auto update.
I did notice that if you update manually once, the checkbox "update automatically" will be unchecked. So obviously it will not autoupdate.

That doesn't happen for me -you mean the icon on the weather widget, the little circle on the left hand side? If I hit that, update and then check in application, sync is still enabled.
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.
HI, I have Modaco JB rom installed and am having trouble with Google Now not recognizing my local settings. When I ask for weather it tells me my location, but it is in C not F and there aren't any card settings. When I ask for Home (which I have set in my maps account) it takes me to the closest "Home" named business to my location. I don't have any customization at all (see pic).
I am using Google Apps and have web history turned on. Also all settings on my phone (time, temp, location) are correct. It isn't the rom as this is the second JB rom I have flashed and had the same problem with that one.
Any Help would be appreciated!!
I had this problem too. It turns out that Apps accounts need to turn Google Now on for it to work. I detailed the steps here:

What if you just have a regular Gmail account that all of your services are tied to?

Then you shouldn't need to do this. When I added my normal gmail account to my phone, Google Now automatically worked. When you started Google Now, did you get the little intro/wizard thing, or did it go straight to a search box? If you got the introduction, and whenever you pull up Google Now, you get the colorful banner on top, then Google Now already works on your phone.
If you're having trouble with the Knowledge Graph cards showing up, then you have a different issue regarding your language settings.

Yeah, its basically an empty box. lol
Someone else got this working in the UK just fine, I just cannot find the thread where it was mentioned.

From what I've read, along with setting your search and location settings to the US, you'll have to enable Web History and Location History.
Hy guys,
Tought I'd post this as help to those who need it (like I did..)
I'm using google now and liking the location and weather cards, I followed this simple explanation by H3g3m0n :
To set Home/Work on Android (It's kind of hidden):
Start Maps
Tap on your icon (The blue dot on the map, this should have your contact photo on it not just the blue arrow. You can pull it up by turning on the Latitude option.)
Tap on your name that appears above it
Tap location History
Tap the menu dots down the bottom right
The you get the Change home/work location options
this is a brief how-to on how to set home and work locations in google maps so that google now will know where i live and work and start giving me cards about that info.
But after I did that I learned that google now will automatically learn where I live and work and that sounded really cool and so I wanted to delete the information I specified in order to let google now figure it out for itself.. I couldnt find any way to delete that information.. until I logged into google maps from my desktop, and had been given the option to delete home and work locations. today is the first day I went to work with the JB and google now updates so I'm gonna let google now figure it out for the next couple of days and see what comes out GOTTA LOVE GOOGLE!
Thanks for sharing the tip but I am curious - why would you want to go back and let Google Now figure it out if you were already able to specify home and work locations yourself?

Well first of all I wanted to see how google now learns my locations by itself, sounds pretty cool
And second - lets say I specified a street name and number and the gps\wifi detects that my home is one street number off (my street is smll and numbers can be as close as 20 meters) then it won't know I'm at home, I guess I didnt want to restrict an address to a certain street number but rather give google now the oppertunity to learn where I live on a larger radius
Erase job?
I can't seem to erase my job. I was laid off a month ago and Google now is a glaring remind every time I open it when it tells me how far I am from my old office. Kinda depressing lol its like you have to have an address there. I've cleared my work location on Google maps but Google now just doesn't get it.

Did you try logging in to Google maps from your computer? there is an option there to see your places (home and work) and edit\delete them.
p.s Sorry to hear about your job situation, good luck

Google has always done a pretty good job of knowing where I am all the time and deciding where is work and where is home. Years ago my roommate and I would use Latitude to keep tabs on each other. Google Now kind of tapped into what google already knew. Having your wifi on helps Google determine your location, especially if you have wifi at work/home, but even if you don't.

Just right click on your desired location, then click on "what's here" (last option down the box) and your coordinates will be displayed in the search bar, just copy them into the address box.

Well it gives right position in my computer but when I see maps in my mobile it gives almost 1 kilometer far from my position what I save in computer. Is this some kind of bug?
EDIT: it saves what ever address is near that position and assume it as my home. and nearest address is
Manik Bagh Over Bridge, Nandanvan Colony
Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452014, India 385 m NE
and my home is almost 1km far from here
i dont know how to set my home location in google maps> please help me
I have enabled sports, weather and traffic cards on Google now.
Sports card appear probably a day before the match. One notification is enough for me. But even after I dismiss it from the notification bar I keep getting it all day. The same thing happens for couple of days after the game.
Similar behaviour happens for the traffic card. Even though I am in the same location (in my office) I keep getting traffic card to my house even after dismissing. Shouldn't this pop up if there is a change in my location.
Didn't find any option in Google now settings. Any idea how u can change the frequency of Google cards
