Hi,
Got a simple question.
In my calendar on the daily view there is a display that looks suspiciusly like the weather app. At the moment it shows London, I guess as a default. I have changed my weather app to show my locations and not London but this one is still there.
Any ideas where the location for this is set and how to change it?
Could this be the app that is accessing peoples data connection when everything else is switched off????
Cheers
the calendar weather is using the place which is set as your actual city in the CLOCK settings, not the city of the weather app.

Thank you Vogtlaender, Now, the million dollar question, is there any way to change it ???
sure, why not? tap on the main clock at homescreen and add the city you like and switch to it, now the calendarweather shows the new city.

yup, you have to make sure that the city you want displayed first is the "local" city in your clock, if not, just rearrange the cities.
many thanks!!! I had to do a hard reset last night and lost this function.Now if I could only get the weather to show back on the home screen under the appointments...Thanks again! Worked like a charm.
Hi there
I am a new one in the Android world.
What I would like to ask you all is whether there is an app or something else in order to change my weather source which is the accuweather.com which came preloaded.
Accuweather is crap as far as the Greece's weather is concerned. Could I do something to change is to gismeteo or meteo or freemeteo?
On my previous HTC Touch Mobile device is was piece of cake to change weather sources to my preferences.
Please help!
Thank you all

"Accuweather is crap"
I think his issue is with where the weather data comes from, not the app itself.

ah ok, wasn't aware that is what htc used
Accuweather weather forecasts are not accurate nor reliable at all as fas as the greece is concerned. So i want to change, swap to a domestic weather source such as meteo.gr or freemeteo.gr
please advise if this is applicable or not.
Thank you
Does it use Accuweather? The reason I ask is that on my phone the HTC weather app always is blank with the message no data available. I work in another town and get weather data for that location. I have just been on the accuweather website and they have data on there for my home town.
All other weather widgets provide the weather for my home town, just wish that the HTC one did.

Try this few options:
- Turn on GPS (Make sure you can see the clear sky)
- Manually set your location to show, like your hometown name, instead of current location.

I will give that a try tonight - Thanks
No that didn't work - just got city not found. Does anybody know for sure who the weather provider is?

It is accuweather. If you go in the weather app, you can click something that takes you to their website; my phone isn't on hand right now, but I remember doing that once.
the weather app will not find my city at all, it did last night but after putting generic rom on it i can not get my location for my homescreen clock/weather widget, is there any way to manually add my city? my city is middlesbrough in the uk btw, found it automatically last night?
I don't think you can no.. Mine isn't on the list either so I can't manually add it and when it does auto find it it knows the name but says no weather data available so pretty much useless. Having to use weatherbug instead.. Don't get fancy animations but does the job!
thats just it though last night when i was running the tmobile rom it auto found my exact location and displayed the weather fine, but since i restored to generic rom my location isnt listed and i cant get it! surely it can get it somehow it did on the old tmobile one?
funny its found it now by itself lol
I'm having this problem too. Its just displays my country. I've been in different towns/cities with my Desire and it still displays "Ireland (Current)" Have it almost a week and still hasn't tracked my location, even after several reboots. All other location based apps are fine.
Running generic 1.15.405.4
The weather widget worked fine on my old Hero in the same area and same mobile provider.
I have similar problem. My Desire displays only "Current location" text in place, where should be name of city where I live. I had HTC HD2 before Desire and there was no problem with this. What could be wrong?
HTC Weather App
I had a similar problem with mine, some times it works fine and other no weather information avaiable. I have also swictched to a different weather app for my home screen
I wish the met office would write an Android weather widget. The Sense one is all well and good but only tells me what the weather is NOW and TOMORROW. I know what the weather is NOW by looking out the window, I need to know the weather in a few hours.
Is anyone else getting "Location is disabled by weather provider" message? Whenever I try and refresh my location it just says "New York" when in fact, I live in upstate NY. Anyone else?!
BTW I use Accuweather as my weather provider on Beautiful Widgets... and also, Google Now and everything else displays my correct location.

Click on the widget, go to settings, and look where it says "use alternate geocoder". Make sure it is checked. It might be in advanced settings.

Try Fancy Widgets, super customizable,, bunch of different weather providers, clock and weather themes can be changed seperately.

Geocoder is what weather service you pick to figure out your physical location, there all different, some don't show all small cities or towns, while others do. Fancy Widgets has the ability to use the weather channel for weather, and google for geocoder, or use weather channel as weather and weather channel for geocoder, and so forth. For me the weather channel geocoder finds smaller cities and towns that Accuweather does not.

To each his own, im not having any of the problems that your describing from beautiful widgets. Fancy widgets updates some cities that I never even knew existed.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with beautiful widgets since the last couple of days ("This location is "disable" for your weather provider."). This is definitely not related to geolcation because I'm not using location for my city.
The update works flawlessly if I select Weather Underground but I prefer Accuweather.
Any clues?
Is it possible to change the provider on the stock weather widget on the G4 from Accuweather to another one?
Accuweather gives a totally incorrect forecast 90% of the time in my case.
It's been saying all morning heavy cloud and to wrap up and its been sunny, blue skies and 22 deg for the last 2 hours.
Cheers
Have you tried changing the update interval in settings to 1 hour instead of the default 3?
Yes that was the 1st thing I did, I like the widget itself I just don't like AccuWeather as the provider but I can't see a setting how to swap it

How could this be possible, without having any option to select weather service providers? Stock weather app is very basic and is tied to Accuweather, as their services are default on all Samsung and LG devices, because it's official weather provider on these devices.
Whilst I am in agreement with OP, unfortunately Accuweather is the only service provider LG use as stock, it's all built into the smart notice etc. There's no way of changing it from the front end, and changing it back end in the code would be just messy. I tend to use Google Now for weather as it seems to be more accurate.
That's unfortunate. Thanks anyway. I'll just change to another weather/time widget that I can choose, and that is at least somewhat accurate.

There are some weather applications available on Google Play store, that allow you to switch between weather providers such Weather Timeline, and a few more. I've tested a few applications, and these weather providers are all you get to choose from: yahoo.com, yr.no, forecast.io, weather underground, openweathermap, world weather online. Most of these apps, gives you between two or three providers choice, but Weather Timline has max. no of providers. You can check them out.
