Very new to zooper widget, but is there anyway way to add city AND state to the locality string? I can only get it to do city and country, no state?

If you mean states as in the United States of America, then no. Zooper doesn't support that. Only City and country.

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.
I've looking all over where i can find how to add my (small) city in the weather app. My city is not in the standard list.
Is there a way to do this and who can help me?
Don't think so, only option is to add a city in the list which is as near you as possible.
I would like to change the widget locality for a module using a tasker scene. The idea is to click on a hotspot in the zooper widget which starts a tasker scene. From there, I pick a location. This sets a zooper variable in tasker to the new location. Up to here there's no problem. But I don't see how I can use the zooper variable to change the locality of the widget. Is there a way to do it?

No, Zooper currently doesn't support changing the location via external means
@VeryGenericUser are you trying to get a map of your current location? Directions from where you are to home or someplace else?

No. The idea was to change the location for the weather forecast. I wanted to have a Zooper weather widget for my current location by default, but still be able to manually change the location with two clicks right from my home screen, for example to set the locality to the place I'm about to travel to.
OK. Why don't you make your Tasker scene to change the parameters of an HTTP GET to something like Yahoo weather. In your scene change the city or zip code and be able to enable or disable the profile.
In Zooper hide the travel weather if you don't have it and show it if you do.
I haven't had the chance to play with scenes yet. Scraping an RSS feed for weather I know how. Have to do a bunch of variable splits.
If you want I can create the RSS scrape and then you can do what you need to do.
Let me know!

Thanks, that might be a way to do it, but it would be more elaborate. Maybe I'll get to it one day when I have more time.
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.
