Nougat and Weather widget and Email notifications - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Since the Nougat update there has been a few noticeable and annoying issues.
So this issue has been bothering me since I have updated to Nougat thru system update a few months ago.
Suddenly the weather widget is not updating to current location and always shows "No Location Available"
I have to manually update the location but than again it goes back to showing "No Location Available"
Another issue is that
I am not receiving Gmail notifications at all and also some other apps I have noticed that their notifications either stopped all together or are very very delayed.
Has these issues not addressed by Google?
I am on Android version 7.0 software 4.28.401.3 -- which I got today only thru system update
Regards

Do you have location services disabled?.. Could be worth checking your google settings.
The weather widget "should" update if you get a location lock with full GPS enabled. If you think you might not be getting a gps lock then run google maps while outdoors (stand on you doorstep or go out to the garden) and wait for it to locate you then refresh the weather app.

Missing market update notification icon

When some of my applications installed from market gets new update, I normaly recieve a small market icon in notification bar. For some reason I don't get such notification any more.
Update for AndroZIP application was released just today, and I did not recieve any notification, I can only see "update aviable" when I manualy enter Market > Downloads.
I have been searching if there is any setting that I could have accidentaly turned off, and only setting I could find is the Market > Downloads > Menu > Notifications. It is set to "Notify me when items are updated".
Am I missing some option? Does anyone know the reason and workaround for this bug/something I overlooked?
I'm pretty sure that notifications don't come through as soon as an update is available in the market. I noticed that a couple of my programs had updates available when looking in the market but couldn't be bothered to update them at the time. A few hours later my phone then decided to notify me that there were updates available. I don't think it's too critical to know that there is an application update the second it comes out.
foyrtcw, thank you for your reply.
I agree with you that immediate updates are not cricital. It's just that, each time I recieved a market update notification it was early in the morning, which made me think that market update service is scheduled to check for updates during night. I am probably wrong about that.
I did not manualy update AndroZIP this morning, and I will leave it that way to see what will happen. Update notification will most likely show up.
Edit: Got my notification finally. Thanks for help.

[Q] No Weather Data Available

the weather widget on hy home screen says "no weather data available"
I have wifi connection, and have GPS turned on for my location.
If I tap the weather widget and open the weather app it says " unable to display current weather, tap refresh for updates.... I tap refresh it gives the same message... I tap a second time.. and voila.. the weather appears.
when i open weather settings.. the scheduled sync option is greyed out
and update schedule every hour is also greyed out
if I go to Account & sync settings and open weather... the update schedule "every hour is not greyed out but in bold ??
how do I just get this to update my wether every hour?
I think this is a problem with the weather supplier, which is AccuWeather. I had this problem last week. I could get weather for certain areas (typically larger cities), but not my location. After 4-5 days it suddenly started working again.
Ive noticed it to be sporadic at times, then hour or so later it works again.
AccuWeather might be culprit as i've used PC apps that use their data which also sometimes drops out.
i cant see any option to change the weather supplier. It seems to happen consistently.. not just occasionally...

the new update?

Anyone finding the reason for the new update?
I found something the update has changed, after updating the app "Google Earth" last night and then the update seemed to self install (I had been hitting "Install Later" "4 hours" for weeks).
First it is important to notice the Google Earth changes, the new app was in the top of the YouTube recommendations last night, and I wanted an upgrade to Google Earth for a while (in desktop it doesn't play well with touchscrren)=I updated it (on my phone) as soon as I could find it in the play store, like an hour after I watched the vid it showed up there as update.
So the second I updated it it changed the inner workings of Google on my phone and my location got turned on. I was suddenly assaulted with weather info (which I never am) via the lockscreen widget of weather. So I went to "location" in settings and turned it off. But it still said weather on lockscreen.
So then I shut off and restarted, and still there was weather info....this was strange. I never saw the location in settings get overridden from something before. I looked harder under the location, and clicked all the items in there till I found a list of google apps in one of the location dropdowns.
As it turns out, the "permissions" for location in google apps (like play services, google app, gmail, plus a few more) were set to allow location. So I went thru the listed (seven) google functions and apps and shut off their location permission. Some I had to do inside the app permissions (gmail) others I was able to change right inside the location settings.
So then, after I had just restarted a second time, finding NO weather on lockscreen to make sure my changes took hold, I was going to click my google app folder on my homescreen, to check the gmail app and instead the update started. I never saw the usual update request screen and never had a chance to hit "don't install"
So it took about 15-20 min to install the ~25 MB update. Then afters it all seems like normal. I saw and still see, no trace of the google location access problem. The "recent requests" 4 instances inside "location" in settings which was up to 4 during the terrifying moments of location availability by google, and weather info showing, was again like normal, down to 2. The permissions of the Google apps were back to no location access.
So I have a theory that it was to remove the google app changes inside the htc sense version which took place from the (new) Google Earth install. It is a RARE Google earth update, as it hadn't been updated in over a year (and it made no difference in the phone version's MAP, dont believe the lies about detail shown in the promo video).
This could be way off, it could just be that I reached some kind of limit to the "install later" on the update...but that doesn't make sense to me.
Anyone got a similar experience with the Earth app update and the HTC update?
Somethin wrong wit my phone since this update. It is running out of battery already at 80% and same yesterday. Just got up, just barely used it at all for anything.

Google Feed/At A Glance widget not working

I noticed today that my Google Feed isn't updating. If I swipe left on my home screen I see my feed with cards but they are the same ones that been there for a long time. If I pull down to update I get a "Can't reach your feed at the moment" message and no cards show. If I lock the phone and unlock it I get the old out of date cards back but still nothing new.
I have also noticed that the weather isn't showing in the "At A Glance" widget on the home screen.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to fix? I have restarted and cleared the cache of the Google app and neither have worked. The only other thing I can think of is going to Apps > Google > Storage > Manage Space > Clear All Data but clears search data, search history and feed settings which are used to populate the feed with relevant data. It would have to be set up again(sports teams, stocks, etc) and have rebuild search data which takes time. If that will fix the issue I'll do it but I'd hate to have it not fix the issue and have to start over for no reason.
Same issue here all day on my P2XL and on my wife's Pixel XL.
I found that If I disable the weather updates, my feed starts working again. So it looks like it has to do with the news and weather app. I tried to uninstall/reinstall it, didn't help.
I'm having the same issue. Interestingly though, if you uninstall the updates for the Google app, it works just fine.
Same issue with me too. Tried everything yet ain't working. Running 8.1 in pixel 2 xl
Seems like it's something related to weather updates from within google app, turns out if you disable it from "customize feed" your cards will be back to normal at the loss of weather info on the app and launcher. Glad I'm not alone tho

Yeah glad that I'm not alone too. Let's see what happens.
I was also having this issue but it started working fine 5-10 min ago.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
I ran into this exact issue with my regular pixel 2 about 1 hour ago. When i connected to my wifi i got a system notification saying my streaming service stopped for google (was confused what that meant) but after that my feed did not work. Weather was not showing up in the "at a glance" app as well. I tried to uninstall google app updates, deleted all data google app data, removed my google account and then re added it, and did multiple reboots while on mobile data and wifi. All efforts was not successful. I also was getting the error message "we cannot reach your feed right now" on the google app while the updates were uninstalled.
Having the same issue. Can't reach the feed since yesterday!
Same here, on Pixel 2XL for me and Pixel 2 for two of my friends. Weather doesn't show up in At A Glance widget, disabling it in the feed does nothing to the feed, and the phone doesn't react to "Hey Google", but only "Ok Google" despite retraining the voice model. There's a Reddit thread going on this https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...able_right_now_cant_reach_your_feed/?sort=new and I also spoke to Google Support at length, they've escalated this to their engineering team, since they have lots of reports of this today. They are asking everyone to send feedback from the Google Now app/feed with the screenshot -- that way they can determine the scope of who's affected
Uninstalled the updates and restarted... Now it works fine.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. Uninstalled the latest version and went back to the factory version and it works. Although, I did notice all the cards were very old items ( 7+ hours old) but I'm not sure if that's just because there really is nothing recent.
Of everyone who is having this issue how many are in the western United States (New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona)?
Hi all,
I have started experiencing the similar issue from today. Def has something to do with Google App update as in "What's New" section it does refer to changes to feed notification etc.
Things I have tried since I first started noticing the issue:
1. Phone restart.
2. Shut down phone, wait and restart
3. Clear data of Google App along side disabled/enabled app. (Ended up losing Google assistant setup and had to redo it)
4. Uninstalled Google App updates and restarted.
Only thing that has worked is that I have selected weather from feed settings and feed is back.
I have also sent feedback to Google with screenshots.
Cheers.

Let's see how'll Google solve this.
Same here. Moto x play
Oops...they did it again...Google has mastered the art of breaking what's working very well! They keep updating apps that only break many other dependent apps...I'm on the Pixel XL and it's feed seem to work when I remove the weather feed from it...looks like google messed up the weather service...
Back in business...
Is it fixed yet or still onn with the bug
9:45 PST and it's still not fixed. I believe there is a wide spread problem with Google and also PlayStation Network.
PSN has been wonky since Friday and Google in my area has been wonky since Saturday.

General Problems with some apps in auto-sync

Hi,
I have last OOS version, 11.2.7.7 and I'm having problems with some apps besides the know problem of gmail not showing notifications of new emails.
For example in weather apps, in the widget in homescreen I have to force update to get new reading of temperatures. I've already tried two different weather apps. The same with OnePlus Shot, even with auto-update ON for daily images, with wifi and mobile data on, I dont get new image every day. I have to go inside OnePlus Shot and then it updates the homescreen with new background. In rest of apps I'm getting notifications and sync data automatically. Don't understand why in these apps it doesnt happen but seems to me something similar to gmail??? Any one having similar issues?
Thanks!
