Here's my question: Why are my 3rd party weather apps (beautiful home, weather & flip clock) able to locate the city I'm in, but the HTC widget always switches between 2 cities about 15-17 miles away. EVERY once in a while it will show my city, but only for a very short time.
I have found the exact same thing. I ditched HTC clock for Beautiful Home, much more skinnable and really no loss of functionality other than inability to swype through several pre-determined locations. I'll give that up for more accurate locations though.
Every time I start up Google Maps, it opens in Latitude view. How can I open up Google Maps in Map view? In Latitude view, there is no search or layers buttons, so I always have to change it to do any type of search.
Currently I'm running mimicry 1.1.2. but lockscreen weather has given me the same behaviour on previous versions and on CM9 too.
I'm wondering if more people are experiencing the following issue:
After the reboot from my phone, the lockscreen weather says: No data.
If you tap the icon, it wants to refresh, but there is no known location
So i start google latitude, Google Maps starts, GPS starts, a 100% accurate position is viewable on the map and in the overview of my friends my city is shown.
Back to the lockscreen: Refresh weather: No data. Somehow Android (or at least the weather thingy) isn't aware of my location.
What i don't understand is that i can't provide Android any more relyable position than i just did (gps even).
It won't update the weather until i use a certain program called NS Reisplanner, which is a Dutch public transportation app which looks for train stations in my neighbourhood.
After looking for train stations in my neighbourhood, the weather can be updated.
From logcat, the only difference between google maps/latitude and the NS Reisplanner app is that when the NS Reisplanner app is updating my location, what i see is:
Code:
07-06 08:36:03.795 D/lib_locapi( 1596): loc_eng_inject_location, accuracy = 26.0
Especially the words "inject location" sound good to me.
Is it calling different api calls than google maps? Shouldn't the lockscreen weather be calling these calls too?
Any thoughts or same experiences?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problems and you are just about the only other person I can find who posted about. Seeing No Data is soo annoying. I guess my issue is that I want to keep Google's Location Services turned off since it kills battery and would like the lockscreen weather to pull location from the GPS, which I have always turned on, but it just keeps saying No Data.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but just wanted to add that if you use the "Custom Location" and add a city from the list at Yahoo! Weather, it works just fine
It seems the issue is related to Yahoo changing how their end works, so unless there's some way to alter the weather provider, I think we're ****ed.
I haven't seen it work on any ICS rom i've tried, I'm on jellybean now and still it doesn't work.
So it's probably yahoo thats to blame, I think beautiful widgets or HD widgets uses accuweather, might wanna try that?

Are you talking about Google Now widget. The white one that shows the weather, birthdays, distance to home?
If so then open Google Search and then open the settings to switch on the feature.
I am setting up a workout log page, using zooper pro, on my nexus 7. I have a strength training calendar in the bottom left corner of the screen that reads off my Google calendar. On google calendar, I have the description typed up as a list of exercises for that workout. In the widget, it displays the list as a single line and not as a list. Is there anyway to get the widget to read out the event description as a list? I have attached two screenshots; one is the main screen, the other is the module setup in the widget displaying the event description.
Problem solved. Needed to use rich text module for this to work.
