[Q] Genie Widget Issues - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having a lot of issues with Genie Widget (running on Miui). 90% of the time when I open the News & Weather app, it will say "Sorry, weather currently unavailable." and refreshing it will give me the same message. This is a problem because the weather will rarely show up on my Miui lockscreen. I've noticed if I re-enter my set location again (not using GPS), it will sometimes work and bring back weather but it will return to the same "Sorry, weather currently unavailable." message shortly after.
Anyone else having this persistent issue and know of any fix?

All I can say is using several other Roms (Superclean3 and Geewiz etc...) I have been having the same issue for weeks now and can not seem to figure out what may be causing the problem.

I was having the same Issues until I switch my radio I was on dl9 switch to e09 and worked for me you could try that. Or switch to any radio

hmm I'm already on e09 but maybe I'll try reflashing it

I have tried several radio files and does not make a diff since I switched to a GB Mod. For what ever reason for me Genie does not want o play well anymore.

I'm bumbing this because out of the blue both my ray and sgs2 are currently not able to show the weather and it's been working fine since I got the phones.
Ray is running a aosp version ontop of a semc build and the sgs2 is running paranoid (cm9).
I think it's odd that both phones got the same issue and it's been like this a couple of days now

[Q] Home Nav Bar Problem

I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell

[Q] Adding Widget to WidgetLocker FC's, rooted, snowballed

Hi guys,
As stated in the title, have a rooted snowballed NT on 1.4.0. I installed widget locker and all is fine until, well, I try to add a widget. As soon as I hit "Widget" after a long press to the options screen, I get a force-close. anyone have any thoughts or a possible solution?
Thanks,
Dan
I know this isn't really a solution to your issue, but is there a reason you are still running Snowball mod? The developer took her NT back at least a month ago, and it is not being maintained. Now that CM7 is available, though it alpha, it is very stable and has far fewer incompatibility issues.
Again, I know this doesn't directly solve your issue, but moving to CM7 might be better for you in the long run.
I like snowball. It's stable, fast, and netflix works. I put my tablet up under my monitor and watch movies at work. I have very few problems with it except the occasional white menu and this weird widgetlocker issue; most fc's I've found can be solved by dropping the app into /system instead of /data, just not this time.
CM7 is great but still Alpha. I actually had it on here for a few, but but until they get hardware acceleration working on video I'd rather have working netflix and a stock lock screen than CM7 and no netflix.

Geolocation doesn't work in fancy widget, beautiful widget and facebook.

Ever since upgrading to 4.0.3 (ZSLPE stock rom), Geolocation has never worked well on my phone. Whilst Geolocation still works perfectly on Google Maps (no matter whether GPS is on or not). Geolocation in apps never works.
For Facebook, it has never been able to find my location (back in the days of 2.3.x, it was perfectly fine). But I think it's a common problem for ZSLPE stock rom, so that's ok.
As for Fancy and Beautiful widgets, Geolocation works very strangely. For example, when I am at home using 3G, Geolocation always identify my home/hometown accurately. But when I move to another place that's far away from my home/hometown, say move to a place that's 20km away from home, and update the weather and location, Geolocation always identifies my location as my hometown. This never happened when I was using 2.3.x
If anyone could help me solve the issue, it would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks

I have the same problem, sometimes when my gps is dissabled beautiful widgets show the name of an other cicty 20km distance
Just to add a bit more details.
Geolocation never updates my location whether I have GPS turned on or not (it only shows my hometown regardless of where I am, and whether I have GPS turned on).
Also Navigation doesn't work
Same issue here... any one can help?
I had the same problem with the latest Mildwild ROM for the HTC Desire (which in turn is based on Oxygen 2.3.2 AOSP - Gingerbread 2.3.7), and latest beautiful widgets 4.05. I solved it just by selecting Accuweather for weather provider instead of Google.

[Q] Lock screen weather widget cannot get data

I am on CM Super Lite ROM. For the first few weeks the weather data on the lock screen worked perfectly. Then it stopped getting data. It just says "No data - Tap to refresh". When I tap on the icon, it tries to download data but fails and gives the same message.
I tried with automatic location setting and manual location setting and both fails. All other data connections work. So I know that it is not a data connection problem.
Adding to the mystery, I have installed a home screen widget called advanced clock widget. It has a weather feature as well and it also cannot get any data.
I suspect that both software are trying to get their data from the same resource (Yahoo Weather?) and somehow my phone refuses to connect to that resource. How is this possible? Is there anything I can do to investigate this further? I can try a reflash but I am willing to try alternatives first.
My weather widget quit working too. I'm on epinter 10.0
The same problem on HTC HD2 JB 4.1.2.

My wife's HTC HD2 weather widget stopped working too. I think this is becoming a cronic problem. I am surprised that this is not widely discussed.
Same on my Samsung i9001 with EHNDROIX II ROM (CM10.1) - I think that Yahoo Weather is the common denominator here and that problem is there...
has anyone been able to get a fix for this issue. I think it has to do with yahoo weather also as mine stopped working a week ago. Is there any way a person can use a different source to get the weather updated? Like instead of yahoo weather can we use like google weather or something else within our lock screen?
This is a known issue. Apparently Yahoo decided to change their weather API.

There's already a fix for those on CM10.1:

But for those of us on CM10 there is no fix yet (as far as I know).

[Q] A number of my apps are malfunctioning

Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone found any issues with the following apps as I did:
- WidgetLocker Lockscreen
- Zombie Tsunami
Zombie Tsunami hangs and crashes after a few seconds of running it, and it only happens to my S3. My friends and colleagues who are also on the S3 can run their app just fine, and we're all on the same version of the app. I've tried reinstalling, but no luck.
With regards to WidgetLocker, I can't add widgets to it. This was an issue with the app for the past few months or so, but even after yesterday's update I still can't add any. That said, the app may still just be broken.
In any case, I'm wondering whether it's my phone that's the problem. I'm running stock rooted JB 4.1.2, XXEME2. Thanks.
Factory reset
