Date instead of weather on home screen? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

For some reason, my google home screen switch from the date and time to the weather.
Anyways to change it back?

It could be that the weather has not been updated yet. Flick to the google screen (far left) and refresh. Click on the weather icon at the top if you prefer.
Then either give it some time, or do a restart and see if it comes back.

And make sure location is on. And this seems to happen to a fair number of people. It will come back in a day.

[Q] home screen has changed

somehow i accidently changed the home screen and i cant return it back to the default screen, which has the icons of the different categories. i have tried all the different settings ann cant find anywhere to change it back. on the home screen it has calendar and contacts on the bottom and i can add other categories on top but it goes into list style without icons. can anyone help, without me having to do a hard reset? i cant even do a soft reset because going to settings where it used to allow me to choose all settings it now goes straight the icons where i cant find soft reset option.
It sounds like (not sure from your description) you have TouchFLO/Sense showing, but want the default Titanium Home screen.
Try going to Start>Settings>Today>Items and uncheck TouchFLO or Sense.
thank you for response
i have touchpro2 and sense is not checked in items. as far as what titanium screen is , i dont know what that is. the screen i want back is the screen you see on every touchpro2 you see online, background with icons to choose from, easily change items, weather , and the bar on the bottom that you can slidt e left or right for different tasks. now it is just the word calendar on left bottom and contacts on right bottom
I understood you backwards. You want Sense checked. Then click OK.
Sense is the HTC-made interface/home screen. If you check "Windows Default" instead, you will get Titanium home screen (the "standard" home screen for Windows Mobile). Right now, you actually have neither.

Very minor yet odd problem with screen when I turn Desire on

When I turn my phone on, and then slide down to unlock, it very briefly shows me the 'main' screen on my 7-page wide homescreen (the one that shows the time and shortcuts to email, people, etc) but then quickly zips across 2 'pages' to the left without me even touching it. Like page 2 rather than the middle one, page 4, the default screen when I turn it on from sleep.
Does anyone know why it might do this?
Make sure you don't come near your htc desire trackball, if I assume you have a desire! In my experience with my desire it is some times very sensitive to the smallest movement (skipping 7 screens when trying to switch 1 screen)

I always found the Sense UI very buggy when it came to managing the screens. I would sometimes loose all widgets and shortcuts until I switched to an empty screen then back again. Or it would jump to the last screen randomly when an app closed.
Just get rid of Sense UI and you won't have the problem (you may want to wait until your warranty is up).

Lock Screen Swipe Left --> Home Screen bug?

I'm relatively new to my HTC one M8 and I've tried to do a search for this but nothing has come up.
I've set my "home screen" to be the 3rd screen from the left instead of the default 2nd screen from the left. So swiping to the left from the lock screen is supposed to take you to your home screen but it keeps taking me to the 2nd screen from the left even though I've changed it to the 3rd screen. Is something wrong with my phone or does this happen to everyone?
Thanks

Where do you see that it is suppose to take you to your home screen? It says takes you to widget panel in the settings "which I don't even know what that is" but it just takes you to the last screen open, not necessarily home. Mine does the same thing as yours.

Wake up the phone directly to the Home widget panel
1. Lift the phone in
portrait orientation.
2. Swipe left across the
screen right away.
This home widget panel is what I set as my home screen right? I see no reason that it would keep going to the screen next to blink feed. Is there some way I can choose what my home widget panel is?

Home Widget panel is the 1st screen after Blinkfeed which can have widgets on. Above behaviour is also true when you set the Blinkfeed as your home screen.

Htc weatber app's location seriously.

Question what's up with HTC weather app that has widget on lock screen and on home screen when it's first set up. The location is way off. Even when I have checked use current location it's out by 40miles or so. Then sometimes it works perfectly then goes back to ah here will do sure it's in the same country.
But Google now can be right so. I have location settings on WiFi and mobile data mode which is battery saving mode. But even when it's switched to high accuracy still the same.
Any body else have this problem
I typically dont have any problems with location and weather.
My problems with the weather app are that it shows the proposed weather instead of the actual weather.

At a glance widget

My forced to use at a glance widget isnt working correctly. Weather and events (half an hour upcoming) are showing.
But when there are no events and its just a date it doesnt link to the agenda with a touch, it does nothing.
It should link to the agenda/calander right? Any ideas why it doesnt work. I did reset the google app and tried full share/privacy settings.
seems there's a lot of problem on the A2 Lite "At a glance" app...
In mine it doesn't show any events, sometimes looses the wheater (I have to open the Google wheater directly and then if appears again on the "At the glance") and if I hold down it on my homescreen and choose "preferences" nothing happens... same in the settings menu
Same problem
