Is there some way to remove or to replace accuweather widget on LOCK SCREEN? Accuweather for my location is extremely inaccurate, and I don't want to see false information on my lock screen

Unfortunately there is absolutely no way to remove the widget. I wish there was though because I have gotten the weather app disabled and it just says "Weather unavailable" instead of nothing.
I'm sure you can find another lockscreen replacement if that's something you're thinking of doing if it bothers you that much :s
Very unprofessional from HTC (well, one of many of their unprofessional decisions) is to force us to use accuweather... I was using that app on all of my previous phones,and it was great,but in the last 6 months their forecast are totally wrong... they predicted sunny weather today, and when I wake up there was snow
You would have to use another lockscreen app.

Was running DC3.5. Flashed CM6.0 and still having the same behavior...
When unlocking the screen, i see a slight trace of an animated/live weather. Sort of like a sun/cloud. I can only see it vaguely though and I cant figure out what app its coming from.
Any ideas?
I'm running Beautiful Widget but the image I am seeing is like a live weather image of the sun and cloud parting ways.
Im stumped
I'm personally not using that widget but the widget I am using (Weather & Clock) has an addon with settings that animate upon unlock.
See attachment.
If you can't find it in running apps or something perhaps a complete wipe and reflash?

I owe you a beer!
I also have that widget but dont really use it as I prefer Beautiful Widgets but for some reason, not being enabled (the widget) those settings were still active. Unchecked that setting and all is well!
Thanks again!
Any idea how to fix it? Ive tried removing and replacing the widget. Not sure what else i can do.
Which weather widget are you referring to? I tried the accuweather (i think that's what comes with the phone), but wasn't what I wanted.
Anyways, you may also want to consider other weather widgets on market. I found 3D Digital weather clock and also Android Weather on market and found I like the Android Weather better - it offers transparency, shows location, date/day, time and current temp and weather condition.

Yup, I do mean the stock one. I tried uploading a picture of it thru the xda app, but it keeps hanging. Thanks for the tip, I'll try Android Weather.
Update: the ota update for 2.3.6 fixed the issue.
I have the google news and weather widget displaying the weather on my home screen. It's a great widget and all but for some reason at night it still shows a sun. Is there no night weather icons built into the widget? why is it always showing a sun even at night?
Night icons are actually built in to the apk but I hasn't ever displayed them. Going all the way back to eclair when it was released.

hmm i wonder why that is? So it's been that way for a while then I assume. any way to modify it? or is there a better weather widget?
Hi Guys,
Just started using Sense 4.0. Stupid question... much like the previous versions of Sense, the weather animations (wipers when raining, clouds across the screen, and etc...) that used to show up on the screen when the phone was unlocked; has Sense 4 gotten rid of these animations?
I mean, I see the weather animations in the clock/weather app, the Weather lock screen, but not the animations that used to show up on the home screen, after the phone was unlocked... Is that gone in Sense 4? Can someone confirm? Thank you.
The full screen animations are selected when you add a weather widget, such as the default clock. Just remove the clock, and add it again, it'll give you the option
No it hasn't gone from sense 4.0, you just need to remove the clock widget and then add it to the home screen again and it will give you the option to enable full screen weather animations. Hope this helps.
Edit: looks like edge3uk just beat me to it.
Hi
Yes you can get weather animations, you have a couple of choices:
On the Lock Screen
Go to Settings - Personalise - Lock Screen and select Weather. Now whenever you turn your phone on you get a weather animation for your location.
As a wallpaper
Go to Settings - Personalise - Wallpaper - Live Wallpapers and select the Weather
Note that these options, especially the live Wallpaper will be using a little bit more battery power then viewing a static wallpaper image, of course that only impacts you if the phone spents a lot of time on with the wallpaper on show.
Another option, generally more accurate, in real 3D, is to look out of a window or go outside Yes I too have animated weather, it just looks cool lol.
Edit: and another way is to use the widget as already posted, so that makes 3 so far.
Regards
Phil
It is off by default. Just long press the clock&weather widget and push it to edit, click your current location, and tick show full screen animation.
Guys,
thank you for ALL your wonderful replies! Indeed, the animations work for me now, BUT, I cannot figure out what "triggers" them on the home screen... they just happened randomly, I can't deliberately kick em off...
For example in earlier Sense versions, the way to kick it off was, EVERY time you unlocked the phone, and the home screen had the Weather clock, the animations would go....
That doesn't happen in Sense 4, can someone confirm this or tell me what I am missing?
Thanks again!
well for me they only appear after unlock.

Please help......
So basically, I really wanted to install DashClock Widget. However it only works on android 4.2..... anyone know an app like that?
I like how it displays the sms count, task, weather. its super clean looking. Looking for some suggestions.
2 possible contenders
WidgetLocker and GO Locker
They'll get the job done, as long as you have the ability to remove the stock lockscreen. My Exchange account prevents me from disabling the stock lockscreen, so if I wanted to use these i would have a double lockscreen. Which would be the only thing worse than a single lockscreen.

I think he is looking for a Dashclock for 4.1.2, not a lockscreen.
I too would like to find something like this. One More Clock Widget has some of the features and having some very clean options.
