[Q] Stock Weather Widget stopped working - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

This is irritating me beyond belief.
I'm on stock .55 and the widget was working yesterday even. I have not done anything since then to my phone. It's constantly giving me Location not found. I tried adding a new widget, I get the same thing.
I tried restoring with TB nothing. I tried clearing data and nothing. I even tried doing a CWM from one week ago and still nothing. It's like it's completely broken.
My Wifi is working fine, mobile data fine, GPS fine...under Location Services everything is turned on. I don't get it.

Same here. I am sick and tired of these problems with stock Sony apps. First Timescape, now this. They really should start pulling their sh*t together!

same too~ got problem earlier with sudden bootloop, then repaired with SUS, but now this widget..but my other apps that use location also stop working...
sorry for the english

i am not sur it's the same problem for you

Same here

Accuweather Widget
Sony Accuweather widget has stopped working for me as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the calendar new year and all. "Location not found" is the error I get. Then when I put a know location (like a state) I get "network error". Hope they fix it. Other weather apps take up too much memory for me.

Same here! I found this topic by typing into google "xperia weather widget location not found" and hoping that the problem is not just me. What a lucky bastard I am! I also thought it's accuwarther servers' fault, but why google widget shows weather properly then (as google doesn't support weather forecast facility anymore)?

I'm sorry but at this point it isn't certain that the problem stands at the accuweather servers. The built-in weather service in HTC Sense (Desire X) prevails and works flawlessly today (hip hip hooray) and it's still accuweather. What concerns the Timescape issue, Sony should be able to address it far more promptly. Neither is Facebook some unpopular app/service, nor is Sony some cheap garage reseller company. Currently they just don't respond properly to users' expectations and that's that. Simply not good enough!
So it doesn't matter how sick my opinion makes you feel, not even a tiny little bit. Sony's current approach of "not my fault, not my problem" is stupid, irresponsible and won't bring them any good. Nor the ridiculously delayed JB update will.
Sorry for the off-topic points in this comment!

As Sony is using accuweather for their widget, there must be some issues between them. About facebook, they recently changed their privacy and security rules and you can't update timescape untill new version of firmware so this version of timescape having issues with updating from facebook (you have a solution for this in mods and apps section if you are using timescape). For jb, i really don't care when it will be updated, as i don't buy phones for updates and i'm satisfied with .45 firmware and couple of mods that i'm using.
Cheers

People just wait! is possible that the connection between Sony Widget and AccuWeather isn't working well Be patience.

Mayans predicted this first
They said something big was coming I guess this is it.... Our most important widget is not working its almost the end of the world

Mine just stop working for the last few days. Can't get it back up.

[Q] Facebook app crashing in CM7

Rooted Incredible running CMW 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rom and I am having a problem with the facebook app.
This is after a factory reset & clearing of the caches and installed this app from the market...didn't restore it.
Opening up facebook works fine & navigation is good. I've tested everything else, but when i try to go to messages, the app crashes. I get the message "Sorry! The application Facebook (process com.facebook.katana) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." & gives me the option to Force Close or Report.
Any advice would be helpful.
Might be just an issue with the app as mine has started doing something similar after I got the latest version.

Same issue and I believe the new FB update is causing it, I dont recall the error before.
The question I have now is where can I download 1.5.1 and use that until FB fixes the issue? Thanks for all the info. Makes me feel better its not something I borked. Man do I love cm7

Well the feedback in the market tells me that everybody is having FC problems with it since the new update, not just us dinc/CM7 users.

The best part? Facebook hasn't even addressed the issue publicly. The SECOND best part is Facebook hired Erick Tseng, a lead Android exec, to work on their mobile front. Fist full of phail.

Thanks wolf ...it works like charm
Using Skyraider 3.5. The Facebook v1.5.3 works perfectly.
I was having issues with the latest update of the Facebook app. The worst part was that it seemed to bring down a bunch of other services with it, like Google Maps, Skyfire, Beautiful Widgets, and sometimes even LuancherPro.
I uninstalled the app and now FB through a Skyfire bookmark. No issues.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!

[Q] Facebook app not working properly @ Gio

Hi,,
This problem is related to my gf's Gio, and she's driving me crazy to solve this
Well, a few days ago I flashed a CM ROM on her Gio, everything ok, Gio is great and so on, but her facebook app stopped updating the feed and she can't comment or send messages to anyone, she can only put "Likes" on the first feed page.
I thought it could be a problem related to the rom, flashed the adrenaline ROM and the problem remains, I unistaled, cleared data and unistaled, nothing happens.
Can anyone give me an idea?
Thx in advance

+1 - Facebook apps sucks big time. Look at the comments on market, most of them are negative. I'm using FriendCaster, it's pretty fast...
Well, I tried the older version of facebook app and it is working.
If you wanna try it: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kyf6f8rm18uuss6/ZqPktHHXmO/Facebook_1.7.2.apk
It's lighter than the newer version, and it is working properly
None of them works for me in cyanogen Rom.
But all of them work fine in stock.

They have discontinued mobile buzz widget today after years of great service does anyone know a good alternative? I've had the app from my early G1 days
Lucky for you guy... I so happen to have the very first one...

I feel like crying :crying: it feels like I have lost a good friend after knowing him for 3 years, I checked him all day for the latest news
Do a search in the Google Play or Amazon App Store for: Filtr Tech or FiltrSoft
I can't post a link to it because I'm new, unfortunately.
I vaguely remember it as a news app, as for the widget I can't remember. However, I remember when I used 'pulse' I never used anything else. Don't know if its really what your looking for but its great for news and has a nicely laid out widget.

[Q] Sony Xperia's Timescape not working probably.

Guys,
Recently I found out that Timescape exists (I know it sounds ridiculous). I connected my Twitter and Facebook accounts without any problems. Sadly though I tried to refresh the feed, when I get a notification of Facebook saying: "Could not update from Facebook, please tap here to retry." I don't know but am I the only one getting this error?

Facebook changed their SDK, and ICS is still using the old one. It won't work until Sony updates to JB.

I find that hard to believe seeing how so many devices are running old versions of Android. Most SDKs have some backward compatibility surely?

It isn't related to the Android, but to Facebook SDK itself. I read it on Android Police or Engadget, don't remember. It just means everyone who uses Facebook SDK in their apps will have to update them. As Sony doesn't provide the Timescape on Play Store, you need to wait until they update the Android. I don't think a new ICS version will come fixing that.

Well, technically Sony can simply release an app update through PC Companion...but who am I kidding, they don't care.
