Hi,
New to the forum, I've had my S9 plus (UK) for a few days now but I'm having issues with the weather apps.
BBC weather does not work at all, as soon as it's launched it closes and it shows an error message.
AccuWeather seems to work but the widgets are not working for it. I normally have an widget on my home screen but it as soon as I put the widget on it just freezes and shows the same error.
Are there any issues or any solutions to this?
Thanks!
seems maybe like permissions problems - if you dont allow permission to each app to track your location - they will not work - id go in the app management and check permissions for each app
Thanks mate!
It was a permissions issue on both apps, had to allow permissions to location and clear cache and they started working.
Its about strange as soon as I installed the BBC weather app and opened it, it would crash, I thought the app would automatically request permission but didn't get to that stage. Had to manually allow permissions in the app settings.
Thanks again mate, really appreciate it. Hopefully this will help other people.
accuweather crashes all the time on s9+

this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.
Ok, so here's the problem... When i started using Zooper Widget i could not add shortcut (On Tap Module and On Widget Tap module). Yesterday I tried it again with "Media Utilities - Shortcut" and it worked but today I wanted to do smthing else and it crashes again... I don't know why it worked yesterday and why it crashes (It crashes on every Shortcut - not just Media Utilities). I looked it up on google and I think I'm the only one with that problem. My phone is LG Optimus L3 II E430
Thanks.
Anyone?
Nevermind... I took from another widged and replaced everything...
No root, no "debloating"
At some point--don't know when; maybe post-nougat--HTC's weather app stopped getting location. If I go into the app from its widget to set the location, typing a city doesn't show up on the list.
Location access is enabled for the weather app, which I downloaded from apkmirrors (couldn't get it from play store).
Actually, doing the following may have fixed it:
1. Remove updates from the weather app and/or clear data
2. Go to the weather app (not the widget) and set the location: note that I could not do this before manually installing/updating the app via apkmirrors
3. Should be set
Does this also fix the location update problem in the lockscreen?
My lockscreen widget seems to be updating fine so far (was not working before this fix)
I have a similar problem in that the time and weather widget will not automatically refresh or update the current weather after Nougat. If I manually go into the settings and unclick and reclick the Refresh when opened and the Auto update weather boxes, it will update the weather to current status on the home screen; but it has to be done manually. Strange.
PS - I am bone stock except for HTC updates.
Thanks - worked me. Clock widget and lock screen now showing weather and location. Weather app was disabled after Nougat update.
For me it doesn't work when in battery saver mode. When saver is off it just works as it should. I think it's kind of intended.
You can check the permissions.
(Settings). In search find App-permissions. Scroll down to location and check for weather.
Hello,
Just a quick question. I use Chronus (Fantastic app, Fantastic Dev) and i love it. but i have one problem that the dev and i just cannot figure out.when the widget is running, i want to go into timely when i hit the clock. when i go into the app, and select the tap action for time timely is not there, this works just fine for beautiful widget, HD Widget and others. but for some reason this one stops at traffic.. I have cleared the cache on the app, Uninstalled/reinstalled the app, and nothing is working. anyone have any suggestions other then use a different app?

Did you perform a fresh install from the playstore or restore it with titanium or something?
Fresh install from play store and update apk from dev
Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.
I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.
I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you
I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget
Ok ill give it another go
As can see no crash for me
Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me
I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.
Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file
hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
