Reset weather widget - Droid Eris General

For some reason my weather widget when i'm at home always says 14 or current location, not the city name anymore. it has the correct name when i travel if i toggle gps and update the weather but never at home. is the anyway way to reset it clear the saved locations? I already tried the HTC weather widget in setting but all cache clearing options and the likes were grayed out. thanks for any help.

Quite common problem for users .... HTC and Verizon deny the problem exists though. I don't know of a definitive fix.

I figured out what it is, for me atleast. I use advanced task killer as im sure many eris users do (i know they say you dont need it but my eris can get sluggish with lots of apps running). I tried just not closing weather and it still gave me the issue, then on a whim I tried not closing the clock app as well. Voila! problem solved. It updates when I change position and the only apps I have running when idling are clock, weather, and atk.
That should solve it, just don't close out clock and weather and it should work.

For right now I wouldn't go force killing ANYTHING that was preinstalled on the phone when you got it. HTC Sense works in odd ways. As for me I only force kill apps that I put on the phone myself and I don't seem to have as many problems now (lockscreen lockups, jittery touch screen, touch screen not working).

Clock widget problem

Anyone else have the problem with TouchWiz stock clock widget? it doesnt update the time. It just gets stuck at the time you added the clock to a screen.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
It is working OK here. Are you running a task killer?
used to do it to me, still does sometimes, it just stops all a sudden, havnt a clue why, i even tried different clock widgets and they did the same, not had the prob since rooted and froze some apps.
I have the same problem with Fancy Widget Pro. Has happened a couple of times, and I've either removed and re-added it, or just changed one of the clock settings and back again, and that causes it to reload with the correct time.

[Q] fancy widget pro and CM7

Ok I searched for this and I really didn't get the answer. So I have GPS turned on and my fancy widget pro and beautiful Widgets and even go weather can not find my location and continue to say to turn on GPS I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps several times and they still don't work. I also get a lock on my GPS in maps so not sure what's up. Please if anyone can help that would be great.
Try going into Fancy Widget and setting your location manually.
That worked for me.
i don't have that problem with my TB but I do have it with my iconia . Just uncheck geolocation and manually set where you are

Lockscreen weather not updating

Have not accepted any of the OTA updates. I noticed that my weather lockscreen is showing no data. Any ideas?

There really shouldn't be any complex issues with this widget. It has been around for quite a while on many HTC android devices.
I've experienced this issue on my CDMA EVO 3D when there is no signal or intermittent signal, the weather lockscreen will be blank, i.e. no weather. Once I have signal, the easiest fix I've found for this issue is to open up the weather widget and manually force a refresh. After the manually forced refresh, I'm usually in a signal area again and it will start to properly auto refresh.
The only other solution which comes to mind is wiping the widget's stored data directory in the /data partition, forcing the widget to start fresh. This process should clear any random issues occuring with the widget as perhaps a data file or files have become corrupt. But this doesn't seem to happen very often ... or we're all flash a holics and wipe our data too often to notice!
Does the weather widget itself and lockscreen update after forcing a refresh?
Hope that helps!

[Q] Lockscreen Agenda getting killed

Hi,
I've installed Lockscreen Agenda on my SGS2 but during the day I notice that sometimes it gets killed by the system. I've already went to the Lockscreen Agenda settings and checked the option "Persistent Mode" (which is supposed to prevent the system from killing it) but the issue persists. I've also notice that sometimes the Lockscreen Agenda takes like a second or two to show up once I wake up the phone (not always, but sometimes).
Any thoughts on both matters?
thanks
Rafa
Nobody?.....
No answers for you, but I have downloaded it as it looks like a great app!
It IS a great little app...and I don't know why, but it just stopped getting killed

Lock screen not working properly because of notification app installed

I just want to share my recent issue with my Sense lock screen not working properly. To disable the lock screen, you normally would need to swipe up, and the same goes for the dock shortcuts. For some reason, my lock screen suddenly stopped working that way. Just by clicking anywhere on the screen, it will disable the lock screen without having to swipe up. Any Sense lock screen I chose had the same problem. This was really annoying me as my concern about accidental dial or text begins to grow. I tried to disable and uninstall different apps that I have recently installed. Unfortunately, I've been installing plenty of apps and didn't realize that the lock screen got messed up. After so many uninstall or disable of apps, I found out that the NotifierPro app was the culprit. It didn't play nice with the Sense lock screen. I thought if somebody had the same issue, might be good to check if you have NotifierPro installed or any app that will display notification while your phone is locked, that might be causing the problem with your lock screen.
Thanks so much for figuring this out. I've been wondering why my lockscreen stopped working all of a sudden. It was because I had installed light flow.
Any notification app that needs accessibility service turned on will affect the Sense lock screen. I'm really disappointed because there's plenty of notification apps I like to use such as notifier pro and the floating notification that's available here on XDA. I really hope there's a fix for this issue.
Sent from my HTC One
ahhh thank you for figuring this out. I was wondering for awhile what it was and didn't remember that I had recently installed notification history (uninstalled some keyboards and other random apps though). It was fixed for a little bit after a software update, but came back. Makes sense now that it probably wasn't until I received my first notification again that it stopped working...
Uninstalled it and voila...back to normal!
