Anyone else having this issue since the update? Mine hasn't updated since 24/5...
Have tried what has been suggested in other threads (purging app data, removal of widget and hard reset etc) but nothing seems to make any difference.
Goto the weather app and press 'menu'. Click on Settings, and make sure the 'Scheduled Sync' option is checked
Thanks but no luck. When I enter the app and refresh it tells me the connection was interupted; over and over again.

This is a problem that we've had in the UK on T-Mobile builds of Froyo, it's only now getting fixed in Gingerbread. The update of weather would only work on wifi.
Assuming you're still running stock (non-rooted) I'd get in touch with HTC and don't let them fob you off.
I've had it a few times. I was told in another thread it's a bug with the weather servers, and we'll just have to wait until it's fixed.
My wife installed the ota update from Rogers today.
Now, anytime she opens one of her folders the phone freezes and the error appears.
Any ideas?
I ultimately had to boot into recovery and cleared the cache, did a factory reset and rebooted. It worked fine after that. Got stuck on a call once after, but no more issues after that. Make sure to backup anything off your local storage before you do this, since these steps will wipe all your data.

Right after update the same thing happened to me, I factory reset the phone and recreated the folders and touchwiz worked ok for few days then at some point I ran the battery down to empty and the phone shutdown. Putting it back on the charger and turning it back and now touchwiz home crashes again when using folders.

This is crazy. Coming from a rom I would imagine this stuff to happen but an official update? I really don't want to have to listen to the complaining if I need to reset the phone.
Yeah i had various issues with the official Rogers Jelly Bean update too so I just flashed a custom rom. I never felt the need for it when I was on ics but one day after the update I flashed the Jedi Invasion custom rom. Rogers JB ws just pissin me off.
Same here. I noticed that the crash from one folder only. Then narrowed it down to the app that caused it - removed it from folder then re added it.
Works great now.

I get a crash in /system/app with ES File Explorer. How can I narrow it down to one file?
For me it crashes with any app in a folder.
Yup, same here. Started when creating a folder. After the reboot, folder is created.
But everytime I even 'grab' an icon on any homescreen (like to move it to the trash at the top), it freezes and Touchwiz closes.
Flashed the full, official ROM 3 times, downloaded 3 seperate times, on 3 different computers with 3 different cables.
A buddy that has an SGS3, never rooted or messed with, did the OTA and has the same issue. Another buddy did the same exact steps as me, same files, computer and cable, does not have the issue.
What the heck is going on here?!!?
I'm very disappointed with this update.

I spent ALL day trying to fix this and I think I finally did! I updated to jelly bean from Telus and all of my folders where crashing with the TouchWiz error whenever I tried to close out of them.
I found a post suggesting to go into application manager, find TW and clear all data (not just cache). When I did, all of my home screens lost my folder and app shortcuts BUT the crash was gone and has not returned even after recreating some folders!!
I guess it was the old folder shortcuts that weren't meshing with the update? Who knows I'm just glad it's fixed. I hope it works for you too.

I've done this several times as well. After I set up my home screens as I like them, after a few hours the issue always comes back.
Just letting you know, I'm willing to bet that it'll be back...
So after plenty of testing, at least for myself, I found that the cause of this error was that I had my app menu in 'list' view as opposed to a 'grid' view.
So anyone coming across this thread with the same issue, that might be the problem (that is, if you use list view. If not, I'm stumped...)
I have the same issue when opening any folder, I am also using the list view for apps.My friend also has the same issue and he too uses the list view.After clearing data in TouchWiz Home the problem goes away but eventually returns and always returns immediately after a battery drain.I will try again but this time I will NOT use the the List View and report back.Hopefully we can find the
cause of this, as the carriers dont seem concerned about it.

I came across this forum while searching for this exact problem. I had tried clearing the touchwiz data, but that turned out to be a temporary bandaid as it came back.
The touchwiz crashing just started happening to me again tonight, , but after seeing this I switched my app view to grid mode and I could immediately use my folders again without any issues. I'll report back after some time to see if it stays away.
And I too am with Rogers.
Folder Bug - List view, grid view
I also can confirm a folder crash freeze with list view on a Telus I747m Jellybean 4.1.1 I747MVLDLK4 .
I noticed it happens after a reboot with list view enabled. Switching back to grid view and folders work again.
Thank you for your help guitarguy :good:
Rogers ota update touchwiz trouble
I received the rogers ota update and had trouble with touch wiz and getting the same error message everyone else has been getting, and simply thought if I call "rogers" for assistance or search the net it may be time wasted so simply did a factory reset after backing up all my apps and data which google has done a good job of backing up I also have a 32 gb memory card with all my data installed on, so it wasn't much trouble at all.So what you can do is slowly uninstall all your apps if you have few or just do the factory reset.But as I recall my phone was considerably hindered by this problem with touchwiz.I reinstalled all my apps with wifi.
I just discovered the new photosphere and other google apps that have been released and wonder if these will also soon be released in a future over the air update and wonder if I should just bite the bullet and install the roms now. Does anyone have any idea what the intentions are? Can we expect these within six months in another update or sooner?
best
Fixed by disabling list view. Thanks.
Hello, I have an issue with the stock weather widget (accuweather) not updating automatically. I have to actually click on it and open it up for the information to update even though the refresh time is set to 1 hour. I tried rebooting, removing and re-adding widget. My Ace 2 has JB XXMF1 stock rom and rooted. I removed some of the bloatware (but not accuweather). Anyone know how to fix this?

i know the problem it needs both internet and gps to actually refresh the current weather on your current location.. so make sure to open the settings to enable location acces in the settings on the phone

I don't think the widget needs GPS to refresh. My location settings has all location access enabled besides GPS (which I don't get indoors anyway). After all, it refreshes when I click the widget and open up the information (weekly temperatures etc)

no it needs it.. it seems the new widegt mod of accuweather needs both wifi and gps.. i face the same problem but when i turn on gps and wifi it worked like a charm..
Can someone else confirm that it actually needs GPS? It doesn't make sense to me. The widget was working fine in gb. I think that i removed a system service or something that the widget needs..

My gps is always on, but I did notice the widget didn't properly auto-update on MF1.
Am on MG2 now tho and it's working fine it updates hourly for me, and manually updating in between will not reset this counter.
Just to make sure tho, i've turned off gps...
And that has no influence on the updating process either

This widget is crappy anyway. Why you don't use different one there are plenty of weather widgets in google play?
I just like it. ..

I use it cause i think it's ace!
I noticed it stopped auto-updating for me earlier, but then i've deleted app data of weather widget, weather widget main and weather demon and it started working again.
Only downside to this tho is that u need to re-add all your saved locations (well and settings, but that's not much work )
Hey guys.
Has anyone managed to get the weather to show in the smart notice widget without turning on GPS/Location services. I have added my local city but it refuses to show the weather. It has only shown when I turned GPS on. Is there anyway to get it working without using GPS as I want to save my battery. On the G2 this method worked fine with the weather widget.

Why not use GPS? The battery use from is negligible. I don't even notice a difference. Use the phone how it was meant to be used.

Well... GPS doesn't work either. I wonder if someone can *copy* the deoxed version of this weather app so we can replace in the Korean version.
If possible also the dialer

Does anyone here use the live weather lockscreen wallpaper? It only started giving me issues just a few days ago (I've used it for months without a hitch). It seems that it simply won't update the location, even though I have location set to high accuracy. The weather widget is updating its location just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what to try to get it working again? I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest LP update to OF1...
Edit: Followup - I gave up trying to avoid a factory reset and just went ahead with it. It's working now as expected. I've no idea what caused the problem, but I suspect I deleted some files I shouldn't have. Hope this helps someone else if they so happen to also use this feature and it stops working.
Update: Yeah, I spoke too soon. It's definitely one of the apps on my phone interfering with it, as it worked for about 24 hours after the FDR. My guess is a recent update to one of Samsung's apps may be disrupting it. The investigation continues (for as long as I have interest in trying to fix this).
Any idea of where else to look? Is there an easy way of finding out when exactly each app was last updated or installed?

I recently have the same issue. ES File Explorer has a way to view installed apps and sort by most recently modified. It's on the lefthand pop out menu under library. Curious to know what you find out and if it's truly a recently updated app causing the issue. Note I can manually make it work by manually resetting the lockscreen wallpaper, but it only updates once, then stuck again.

So I'm not going crazy! Glad to know I'm not the only one. This also works for me, and only once. You can also force close the Live Weather app or reboot the phone and have the same effect.
I'll see what I can find from ES when I get the time and report back. Thanks for the info!

Hard to believe we're the only ones experiencing this. Your post was the only recent hit I got on Google (that's why I joined this forum). Sure tons on how to get the location settings right to work correctly with the lock screen weather wallpaper but that's old news. If it's any help I have the latest Verizon OTA update OF1 on Note 4 as well and keep my apps updated weekly. But I just got this issue maybe Sunday 8/9? Or at least that's when I guess I noticed.
That's true - perhaps many don't really care enough to pursue fixing this issue, too. Hehe
There was a recent update for the VZ note 4 - now the build ends in OG5. Hasn't fixed the issue to no surprise. It was mostly a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability from what I gathered.
I tried disabling the Samsung Push Service app yesterday, no change in lockscreen behavior so that app can be checked off. I'm trying not to go crazy with disabling a bunch of apps all at once, and my free time is also limited. This will be a long and grueling process...

I also was hoping the recent security OTA update would fix this but no joy. Just FYI I stumbled on an app that does nearly the same thing, Weather+ by Lalaworks. It's in the Play store. I installed on my Tab Pro since that didn't have weather lockscreen built in. You might want to check it out in the interim. A bit of hefty ram usage but that's the price for eye candy I guess.
I just tried a factory reset again yesterday with a minimum installation of apps. No luck again. I did go bloatware-disable happy though. I have nearly 40 apps disabled. I did try re-enabling all apps for a bit a couple of weeks ago though, which didn't seem to make a difference anyway. I *might* try a 3rd reset tonight and leave all bloatware (minus DTIgnite and VZ Protection) enabled for a day and see where that takes me.
After that, I'll throw in the towel. I can't really see the apps I have disabled now interfering with the wallpaper, especially when they were disabled for months on end with proper operation. Thanks for an alternative solution, will have to check that out.

The verdict isn't out yet on Weather+ for me. Seems to work okay but no lock screen notifications, at least I can't find that setting in the app. Don't want to have to find another 3rd party app to get Lollipop lock screen notifications back. Ugh! We may have to wait for the L 5.1 or M update I fear.
@imamax, you mentioned you noticed this starting around 8/9. Did you update to the OF1 build around that time?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Unfortunately no, I did that update 7/19.
Interesting my wallpaper did change on its own tonight. Just once so far. Weird the pic from Flickr says Berkley... I'm in Massachusetts and weather widget location is correct. Updates from Play Store tonight were Facebook, Google Play Games, Angry Birds Friends, Netflix. Something to chew on.
Huh, interesting. Did you happen to reboot your phone recently, prior to that happening? Do you have the wallpaper set to update over WiFi only?
I just did one final factory reset, and installed no additional apps. I disabled "DT Ignite" and "Support and Protection" and It seems like the lock screen wallpaper was changing overnight while I stayed put. We'll see if it updates now that I'm going to work...
Nope no reboot and no WiFi only. Still stuck on same screen this morning though. We'll see what happens today.
Kind of a long shot but...do you use any sort of security lock on your phone? I use the fingerprint scanner on my lock screen. I wonder if security is somehow affecting the live weather app's access to changing the wallpaper... It's a far-fetched thought but so far the screen hasn't updated for me since early this morning.
Nope. No PIN, no finger scan, nothing. Just swipe and unlock.
I've had DT ignite dialed for a while and VZ Protection was update 7/3. No change all day so far.
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Oops meant disabled not dialed.
I succumbed to doing another reset, just so I could restore a backup from a couple of weeks ago rather than manually download all the apps I once had again. Interestingly the lockscreen updated itself once within the hour after setting it as the wallpaper after the reset, but hasn't updated since. I'm out of ideas. I also kept DTIgnite running overnight. That's being disabled now...

Alright, a little update. I exchanged some posts with Verizon on their forum, and they *might* look into it. It must be a bug with the latest software updates, or something on Yahoo's end. But a coworker here uses the wallpaper with no problem on his ATT Note 4...
Is there anyone else out there on here using the Wallpaper on the OG5 or OF1 builds??
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I am using the Note 4 on at&t (SM-910A) and am experiencing the same problem. It seems to have begun malfunctioning after the stagefright fix. City images no longer load, and it does not update periodically anymore (only after restarting the phone). Thought about factory reset but haven't done so yet. I tried clearing caches (including android system cache), disabling reenabling; everything aside from factory reset. No dice. Hoping the 5.1 update provides a fix.
