p7510 ics stock accuweather widget not connecting - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody, yet another annoying behavior of ics (uk stock rom). The accuweather widget won't connect and won't recognize my new location either. The localization by gps would not work,, although google maps would identify my location properly. typing it manually would not be recognized. Somehow the weather widget in honeycomb worked better. Any of you experienc the same bug?

Nope, my Accuweather widget works just fine. It may simply not be available for wherever your location is. Don't be so quick to blame ICS.

I am blaming it, because as far as I remember the Honeycomb-widget recognized the location this widget now doesn't. What is more annyoing is the "not connecting" thing...

It might be a framework issue also remember your using an overseas build which is not completely that same as US versions. I say post a reply in the thread you downloaded it from and see if anyone else is having the same issue to see if there's a fix.

I have the UK ICS update and my Accuweather widget works just fine, therefore it is NOT ICS that is causing your issue. There's something not right with your settings somewhere or possible with the settings for the widget.

No calendar since ginger blur.

ok that its not true, I have the calendar installed but cannot access it. I can tap and open the actual icon, but cannot use the widget. And it also does not sync worth my google calendar. It syncs about 20% of all appointments. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?
I have rebooted several times, tried manually syncing, and even re-installed ginger blur.

It's just the default calendar app that is broken or the whole calendar is a crap? I mean, if we install another calendar app, will it work?
I am using a different calendar app, (there are many on the Market so I won't advise on one), with no issues. Can sync my work appointments/meetings from Exchange through Google to my phone, and it works fine.
I have downloaded several apps and all have the same problem. I can view my calendar perfectly fine on google calendar, but even after syncing only gives me a small amount on all calendars I have tried.
I use pure calender widget, It will notify me about events but the widget itself wont display upcoming events.
Does anyone have one that properly displays evenets?
I use simple calender widget. It works and syncs flawlessly.

Cant seem to find internet icon

So this is damn simple, i bought my galaxy s2 a few months ago and since then i can not find the Internet icon to access the browser (only way i can open androids browser is by searching something on google widget)
I even upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and i still cant find it... any ideas ?
Thanks.
no1 knows ? am i the only one with this problem ?
If you're on ICS, do yourself a favour and head to the Google Play Store, and download Chrome Beta. It should appear in your apps list once downloaded and it kicks butt compared to the stock browser.
First off, this is a forum, not an instant messaging client. Not everyone is on it at the same time. So be a little more patient. 2 hours is NOT a long time for a forum.
Second, you don't give any information about the actual version of device or firmware that you are on.
Third, if you are on a stock firmware, it's called "internet", not "browser", and it should be in the dock.

There's a dozen different models of Galaxy SII.
Is it an GT-I9100? GT-I9100T/M/P? GT-I9100G? SGH-I777? SGH-I727? SGH-T989? SPH-D710? GT-I9210/T? SHV-E110S/E120S?
Also, 4.0.3; does that mean you are on a stock Samsung ICS firmware? Is the internet icon NOT in your dock? Is it not in your app drawer? (I don't think the app drawer is alphabetized by default)
Are you using a third party launcher, like Apex or Nova, etc?

Ok.... so you could try to create a homescreen shortcut to it first. Long press on an empty space of your homescreen, and select Shortcut, then Application, see if you can find "Internet". (that's how it is in Gingerbread, I can't imagine it would be that different in ICS - but if it is, you should be able to figure it out)

See my post above.
Are you using the TouchWiz launcher? If so, try arranging your app drawer to list view and see if it turns up. That will alphabetize all your apps.

Location Problems w/ Weather

I can't get either the weather widget, or the weather on the lockscreen to find my location and show the weather? My wife has same phone sitting right next to me, working with no problems. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, I turned on all location services and it would just sit there trying to find my location. It would then say it couldn't find it and if I would like to retry now or later. I did a restart on my device and waited a bit. Pulled up maps etc and then tried again. It finally worked and is working good so far. Hope that lame fix works for you.
Check your dbms...... It's probably -100 or worse.

UCCW not updating weather

Hi.
I have been using UCCW for a long time now and i cant get it to update the weather when i want... I have manually set my location and each time i want the weather to update i have to go in settings, choose auto-location, then set location manually again, then press back and now it updates.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm running Omega v40 with stock kernel and have tried with other roms aswell.
Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem but the tempuratre and weather is always wrong. It says it's 84-91 degrees f and raining outside even when it's 45 degrees f and clear and sunny.
I disabled degrees c so it's in degrees f but will just never show the correct information and seems to have problems updating (set to update while phone is off every 15 minutes). Tried going into settings and changing weather providers from yahoo to OpenWeatherMap but nothing happened; disabled auto location, re-enabled auto location, set manual location to my city and state... nothing I try seems to work. Anyone else having this problem?
I'm on Galaxy S3
Model Number: SCH-1535
Android: 4.1.2
I was using OpenWeatherMap as the weather source. Found it stopped updating yesterday. I switched to Yahoo and it worked initially, but now seems to not want to update sometimes as well.
Not sure what the heck is going on yet.
Galaxy S3
I-9300
Omega Rom 43.2 (4.1.2)
+1
I arrived here from a Google search for "uccw weather not updating."
I am on a stock, UN-rooted Nexus 4. Weather won't budge. I'm not even sure what makes it update when it occasionally does, but it's completely unreliable as a source of weather information, that's for sure.
A fix would be awesome.
Both providers in uccw wont even find my location even if its on yahoo weather website...its just crap (better before)

Seems like when you change the weather from OpenWeatherMap to Yahoo and then back it updates, but after that it doesn't update. Maybe the auto update is broken because it updates manually. I have emailed the developer but he hasn't responded.
Everyone should email this issue to the developer so he is aware of it.
His email is [email protected]

Same here, weather not updating.
Is there a way to install an older version when the weather was updating and working?
same problem
I'm guessing the dev doesn't really give two sh*ts since this has been reported here and on google play and he still hasn't fixed it.
Hopefully I'm wrong and he's fixing it now, but it's been broken for quite a while.
My weather seems to update but my location does not. If I reboot my phone it seems to work for a short time but then the location stops updating again. I am in a VZW Note 2. Anyone else have problems with location updates?

Found the fix. Go into your UCCW settings, weather provider, and choose yahoo. Should update after that. Worked for me.
Didn't fix it for me, in the meanwhile does anyone have a alternative app that acts simular?

Yeah, you have to change the weather provider back and forth just to get it to update. It's a pain in the butt. I use minimalistic text. Works great.

[Q] Yahoo Lockscreen Weather Not Working?

Just curious - I noticed this morning that the Yahoo Lockscreen weather hadn't updated in 5 hours so I rebooted the phone and now it won't refresh at all. Currently running the CyanogenMod 10 - GANGNAM STYLE rom. Wife's phone is running the same rom and having the same issue. Tried flashing another rom that uses the same Yahoo lockscreen weather and it exhibited the same result, no data.
Is there a fix for this or is Yahoo having troubles? I wouldn't have posted this but this issue has been ongoing since early this morning and its 10:39pm local time now with still no resolution.
Thanks!!
I believe yahoo's weather servers are down since Chronus has also been having issues updating weather.

Thanks for the reply.
How would one find out for sure?
For some reason there seems to be an error in Yahoo's XML stream. Logcat shows:
E/WeatherXmlParser( 1229): org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unexpected <! (position:START_DOCUMENT [email protected]:1 in [email protected])
Probably only heaven knows why.....
(On Nexus S with CM10 here)
Good. That means I'm not crazy. Wasn't showing up for me either. Was thinking I'd have to reflash my rom. Saves me doing that.

Got the same problem here in London, thought I was going mad!
I thought something was wrong with my device (Desire) or rom.
Same problem in Athens, Greece.
just sent a message to Yahoo. Let's see what comes out....
Thanks to all of you for confirming that I've not gone mad.
It seems like such a minor thing but it really bugs me that it's not working.

I hope so, but some people say that yahoo shut down the old API, so we CM10 users may need to wait for a patch.
Another yahoo failure...? Sorry, venting some. My fiancé uses yahoo mail on a stock Bionic and since their new ui release, it was crap. Never worked right and the app reviews reflect that. Seeing issues with their weather too makes me lose confidence in the company. Not that I use it anymore anyway.
