Accuweather Widget (pre-loaded) - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Ok so using the built in accuweather widget with my S9 on home screen, however it is not locating my location correctly, this has happened in a few places. I am based in the u.k. It seems to know the city but not the precise position in the city. Seems to be way out, is there a fix for this?
The same app on my s7 edge worked perfectly.
This is not Pie related as it was not working on Oreo either. I waited for update to see if they would fix this but it is the same.
All location settings are on and high accuracy mode is also on.

I have the same problem, it's because the weather app on the galaxy s7 edge is based on "accuweather", while the weather app on the galaxy s8 and above is based on "the weather channel". You can see these names at the bottom of the app on each device.

I suppose that makes sense then.
Is there any kind of fix? Pretty annoying

I don't know if this will help, you can install accuweather app from playstore, but you can't make it display the forecast on the original samsung weather widget, it has a separate one.

HTC Clock Widget Problem

So for some reason the weather of my current location is messed up and wont load. It's stuck at a high of 55º and low of 0º and the weather doesnt load on the widget. If i choose a city the weather works fine, just not with the current location. Anyone know what could be causing this or have a fix?

Try going to settings, applications, and then look for the htc weather and try clearing cache or data. I hope that help
This happening to me right now as well, so I don't think going into settings will help...

Yep I just bought 2 new Evos and had them less then a week and we both today were talking about the weather portion of the widget not working correctly.
was happening earlier today for me as well, but all is normal now
Delete the widget and just reinstall it and that should fix it. I believe they updated it along with accuweather.
If you notice now that when you click the weather to go the detailed weather page at the bottom where it says weather if you click that it will now take you to the accuweather webpage and you can view more detailed info. I believe it used to be this way got broken and now they fixed it. I like it. And if you watch it were it says weather with time below it now switches back and forth from the time to "More details online" .

Mine doesn't. The only time I noticed it doing that is when I had multiple locations. The non home locations did it, but not the home.

I just tested, I run multiple locations also and it works on both of them, home and my other one.
Running Stock Froyo
I did a reboot and it fixed the weather issue.

Accuweather Widget not updating location?

So I have noticed that no the accuweather widget will update the temp and stuff fine, but will not update to my current location?
If I go in and manually add a location it will change to it, but then no matter where I go it stays on that location. I have tried looking at settings, tried deleting and re-adding it, and just does not seem to follow me.
Anyone have this problem? Any ideas.....
Assuming this can't be fixed I was thinking of using weather channel and that widget as I know it updates based on your location, but I am worried about battery drain. Besides I actually like the default weather on the phone, but it is a killer that it will not update. I travel a ton for work and don't want to add every location.
TIA
Have you tried removing the widget and adding it back? I've noticed some funkiness with widgets in general after flashing and/or restoring and that usually fixes things for me.
EDIT: and even though it should matter, try adding the widget back and updating the settings outside so it can get a GPS lock. It should be able to figure out where you are from the cell tower, but I've notice the GPS icon in the status bar when I was messing with the setting.

I tried doing that a bunch of times thinking it may help. It really doesn't seem to make any difference. I notice when I was playing with the weather channel widget every time I wake my phone up I see the gps icon for a few seconds. Wonder if that should happen with accuweather too? I have made sure that the Enable current location is on too.
Hmmmm so yours updates huh?
AccuWeather does not have that option! I know it sucks. Yea! You can only add the cities you want or go to

That sucks then. Anyone have any hood weather widget that updates?

You get a free Thanks. Clicking all sorts of wrong buttons today...
When I was using it, I had a problem once when it wasn't updating at all. Took me about a week to notice. Removed the widget and added it back in and it started back up fine. But I've switched back to Beautiful Widgets.
Added the Accuweather widget on my homescreen as a test. It was blank after I first dropped it on the screen so clicked on it. The first thing it asked me was if I wanted to use my Current Location and automatically filled it in. Exited out and after a few seconds everything populated.

Screen off memo

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?
Tks

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.
Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.

I didn't get an update prompt, but this helped me. I opened galaxy apps and looked for updates there. sure enough, there was, and installing it fixed it. All good now!

i didn't check that, but Galaxy App pushed an update of Always-on Display yesterday, and indeed now it works the way it should
Thanks. Update worked. I was wondering why it wasn't working.

Android O and widget issues

I flashed O clean yesterday.
So far so good.
I am noticing though that some widgets dont work and wondered if anyone else is having issues?
Calendar and Keep will not load any info.
Keep is a dark grey box and Cal just says loading.
The apps work otherwise.
Thanks

Bizarre beta behavior
Widgets not working for me either
I'm running O, and I normally use beautiful widgets pro ( for the clock) and it doesn't work. The clock on the widget does not keep time with the phone. I chatted with a google rep. he said it was because I downloaded the beta version. I don't think that's it. I've loaded 3 different clock widgets and none work. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

I dont use that app for widgets so i have no experience.
However have you disable battery optimizations on that app or widget?
I dont know how it presents itself but it sounds like it is being put to sleep to save battery which would result in tht sort of performance.
just a thought
I noticed the same thing happening on the Pixel 2 all calendar widgets don't load anything. And if I try to click on them to add calendars they just crash. Funny thing is this doesn't happen with Google calendar

I have the same issue on my Pixel XL in Aviate. The Wunderlist widget only populates on time in ten. Very annoying. Worked fine on my 6P running the same 8.0.
All widgets not working after oreo update
After update of android 8.0 all of my widgets stop working..controls and tine not responding..temperatures weather not updating
Same here.
E.g. I can't find the clock widget or the meteogram widget in my list of widgets.
I run Android 8.1. (Lineage OS) on my Pixel XL.
I'm seeing the same issues. I have a few apps installed that control my Philips Hue lights. Those widgets won't work any more.

Question Weather widget

Seems to have stopped working. Says it needs location access enabled which I've checked and it is. Removed it and put it back on home screen, restarted phone etc... But still won't show any info. If I touch on it then the weather page opens but the widget won't show any info. Was working fine previously, I think it stopped after I got the December update but not totally sure on that.
Anyone got any ideas?
Working here on Dec update.
I had this yesterday and found the issue on Reddit, somebody pointed out a fix, Open Google App, Click Profile picture top right hand corner, settings, location and set it to Always. Mine was set to always before update but magically set it's self to Ask Every Time. Once I changed it to Always it worked.

Same here, did you ever find the Google LLC weather app? Seems its blocked from my S7+.
Please access Privacy from Settings. Check if 'Personalize using app data' is turned on or not. Please turn it on if not. Please access At a glance settings from home page and toggle the weather option off on. Should help.
The large material you weather widget now no longer opens Google weather info. Nothing to do with location as the widget shows. Anyone else ?

Strange the large widget still not working here on my pixel 6pro, 4xl and 4a. All up to date.
The pill widget works so does the at a glance but not the jumbo weather widget.
Google app updated and looks like it's fixed.
