Hi All,
I set up Yahoo weather to be showing current conditions as wallpaper on lockscreen and it worked for a week or so. Since yesterday I only get a random Flickr photo instead of live conditions. I have reset touchwiz settings and Weather settings with no result.
Has anyone had such a problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
TIA,
S
the app itself..?!? write the developer maybe..

Strange, indeed. Any idea why I am getting a Flickr photo instead of the live weather animation?
did you set up flicker..? if not than I don't know..?

I have disabled Flickr on day one. The wallpaper I get does come from my location, though. As if some other app/ setting sets up the wallpaper based on my location overriding Yahoo.
never set up flicker..also I disabled GPS location..BTW..my phone is a branding free European model.. maybe this could help..

I have the same setup apart from location being on. When I set the Live Weather wallpaper for lockscreen, the first time I unlock it, the animation shows up briefly and then disappears.
I have found the Live Weather app and cleared its cache and data,, rebooted and still no luck.
It's a location issue, that is for sure.
Does Live Weather not show images from your current location that match current weather conditions? That's what mine seems to do anyway and I think it works well

Sometimes it shows live weather conditions and sometimes just an image from Flickr
Does it show live weather conditions only if there are no corresponding images on Flickr perhaps?

Are you saying that the app BY DEFAULT is going t oshow Flickr and only when no imagery is available Live Weather? Is the app not called Live Weather and should it not show Live Weather and not imagery from Flickr? I think you misunderstood the name of the app?
I know and fully understand the name of the app, live weather doesn't necessarily mean pretty drops of water or sun flares, live weather could also mean images of your location with current weather conditions

It shows rain drops and sunshine, that is why I use it. If I wanted imagery, I would use my rotating wallpapers from homescreen.
Then do it

To clarify: the app for lockscreen is Yahoo Meteo Live and it automatically show a photo from flickr that match the current meteo condition of the city that you set up in the Samsung clock/meteo widget (or from the current location if you have this active). In case the city is too small or unknown (or the data connection is poor) the app display fixed images matching meteo conditions. In both case it shows animation for rain, hot, fog, etc. I love this feature and I set a lot of cities (my preffered and last visited) watching beatiful pictures of them switching one by one every time I want. The strange issue is that in the last days the photos are loaded only for some city (thing never happened before!). Now I can see the pictures only for the current location and the city of New York! I think Yahoo has changed something... Clear the cache and reboot are useless for me.
Did this ever get resolved? I have the same problem. I used to get local images on my lock screen matching the time of day and weather conditions. Now I only get the weather - clouds and sun with no info on where I am.
I installed the yahoo weather app from the market and it this is what I used to get from the live wall paper (I recognise some of the photos), but if I load the weather widget that powers the live wallpaper it seems to be powered from accuweather? I'm a bit confused as I haven't changed anything.

I have tried numerous searches, both here and google itself....and can't find an answer. I seem to find other people with a similar issue as I am having, but no resolution. I have 2 types of Clock/Weather widgets I have tried to use...both display the time correctly, but no weather. It will show my location, but again...no weather. When you click on where the weather would be, it will tell that there is no forecast details available. When I go into the settings of the widget app I am trying to use, and try to manually put in my location, It will say it can not find my location...no matter if i input the zip code, or city name. But again...the corrct location shows up on the widget itself when the GPS option is selected in location settings. The two widgets I have tried to use is, FANCY WIDGET - and LP SENSE CLOCK WIDGET (Both of which are HTC style clock/weather widgets, just the LP SENSE is the updated 4.0 version)
If anyone has insight on this, It would be appreciated. All I can seem to figure out the issue is, is that something on the phone is preventing weather to be displayed, as the problem happens on 2 different types of widgets.
I have tried a reboot, reinstall, wipe cache, etc
A lot of weather widgets that was using iGoogle's weather API is experiencing this because they shut down Google that API. Either wait for dev to update the app to use a different weather provider or switch weather services.

By switching weather services, do you mean by finding a new widget...or is there a way to change the widgets weather service? I have been trying to figure out a way by editing something within the widget by accessing the files with root explorer, but cant find anything.
You need a new widget. Something like AccuWeather, Weather Channel, Weather bug, etc. You need one that DOESNT use Googles weather service. I've never seen one that let's you change it.

Beautiful Widgets had an option to use either Google or Accuweather as a source, then again it's a paid app. I'm sure it's not the only one out there.

It appears Google has quietly killed its weather API
Reported story from http://thenextweb.com
Last month, Google announced plans to shutter iGoogle, among a bunch of other services. Many developers and users were (and still are) outraged, but at least they have some time to breathe: iGoogle isn’t going away until November 1, 2013. That means there are still 15 months left to adjust and export your data. Yet some changes are already starting to take effect: the company’s private Weather API, for example, appears to be dead in the water.
The Next Web has reached out to Google for comment. While there has been no official announcement or communication indicating that the API has been closed, it is noteworthy that iGoogle — the product that the API serviced — is now using Wundergrond.com instead, as you can see in these two examples: 94102 and Mountain View. This would suggest the search giant has knowingly made the switch.
It would appear that this error is happening because Google has quietly phased out its Weather API. A quick check over at Status Dashboard shows that the response time has dropped to -1 today.
In spite of no official word from Google, Web developers, many of whom have been experiencing issues, seem convinced that the API has been quietly closed down by the search giant. A Hacker News submission points to an error message that Google throws up when you try to query the Weather API with the 94102 area code in San Francisco while another developer over on Stack Overflow points to the same error when you search for a specific city, such as Mountain View:
We’re sorry…
… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
See Google Help for more information.
The error page features the old Google logo and a 2009 copyright stamp. Twitter users also don’t seem pleased:

Things I did not plan on doing this week: Rewriting weather app because Google shut down their weather API!
— Bradley Batt (@bradbatt) August 27, 2012
So Google pulled the plug on their undocumented Weather API? Expect support tickets.
— Joël Cox (@joelcox) August 27, 2012
Web developer Jordan Stephens isn’t even bothering to look for alternatives. In fact, CurrentlyIn has been completely shut down as a result of the Google Weather API outage, according to an error message from the service:
currentlydown : (
Google has shut down its undocumented weather API (which was used by this site).
currentlyin.net will be down for the forseeable future.
As this is a private API, Google is arguably entitled to pull support without warning but that won’t stop developers being disappointed by the move and lack of communication. Since its main purpose was to serve iGoogle, it is perhaps unsurprising that Google has axed it.
I was using Beautiful Widgets. The update as of the 03/09/2012
version 4.12 - 3rd of september 2012
- Remove Google Weather API
Yes Beauriful widgets is your best bet.
Well that explains a fair few things like why W&TW wasn't updating like it should've. While it's currently like 30°c outside today, it (W&TW), was only reporting a current temperature of 15°c, markably cooler then. Having taken the advice to uninstall and, then re-installing the App, has now left me with a dead App that can no longer pull in any Weather data here or from the States. beit by proper Place Name, or by Zipcode.
And I really loved W&TW too...
I for One am gonna miss the Cloud Animations.

I have an HTC HD2 too
and have had the same problem with Fancy Widget not displaying the Week's forecast:
This was resolved by going in to
Opening up the setting of Fany Widgets
Open Location & Settings
change to AccuWeather
change Geocoder to "Weather Provider"
and i only Tick "Geolocation" = dont tick "Use GPS" to save on battery life
This should also help with your Weather location remaining up to date
I found when i used a theme with weather, it cant find my location so its just blank. I downloaded AccuWeather because ut said i must. I tried re applying after getting accuweather but that made no difference. Thanks

This is happening to me as well. What exactly were the changes to weather? I don't see anymore options in the settings.
Make sure to link the hotspot to ThemerWeather not the weather app you installed. I am not sure if that solves it for you guys, but I haven't had any issues with it since left it at default.
We changed the weather so that:
1. The default provider is AccuWeather, not The Weather Channel. This is because AW is available in more countries than TWC. That said, Themer will still look on your phone for dozens of other weather apps.
2. As long as you are using Themer Beta 1.4 or above, go to Settings>Themer>Weather. From there you can force C or F, or leave it on Auto.
We are using a weather provider (Open Weather Map) which is unreliable. We are going to change providers are soon as possible.

It says 65 degrees (which has to be Fahrenheit, even though i set it as celcius in Settings>Themer>Weather. Below that it says haze in location n/a. this theme is amazing but one page is wasted because it cant find anything.
EDIT: How can i change an icon for something if the icon is applied on my homescreen? for example, there is a shopping folder but i dont want that, i just want it to be the play store, but i want it to use the icon of the shopping folder. when i try and change the icon i can only select from my gallery. is there no way to select an icon from the theme?
Sorry for my level of English but I'm from Spain, and it's really hard to find a Spanish that speaks English well.
Ok, my problem it's peculiar because when I used Themer 4 or 5 months ago I don't have them, but today I download Themer again and the weather not operating properly (yes, google translate) in any theme.
The first picture is the weather that makes according to Themer, and the second picture is the real weather in my city (when i press the rain in the first picture Yahoo's Weather opens because is the app that I use to weather, but I don't know why the weather in my desktop is wrong).

same here
I travel a lot and i need weather forcast, on themer does not running properly. We should be able to choose our weather supplier,or fix this issue.
Thank you!

Hi there!
The first method we suggest would be to change your weather settings. Simply go into the Themer Settings - Weather - then change the options. If this doesn't work, try switching themes, as this should kick-start the weather. Finally clearing the data/cache for Themer should fix the issue if nothing else works.
If your weather is still wrong, keep in mind that we are constantly trying to fix this issue :fingers-crossed:

Thank u very much. New widget is super. Would it be posible to make the font of the new widget like aod font? Further best weather app ever!
I tried this app, having used Weather Underground for the last couple of years. I found the interface of Today Weather to be much nicer looking, but I had a few issues which drove me back to Weather Underground.
1) The temperature graph on Today Weather is nice, but I missed the graph from WU, as well as the graph of rain chances over the next week.
2) The top two things I use a weather app for are looking at the forecast and looking at the current radar. Today Weather buries the radar at the bottom of the screen and you can't move it, plus....I just don't know. Is that really radar? It looks like no other radar I've ever seen. I certainly didn't trust it for accurate data. Plus, THIS is the thing that you have to pay for the premium version to get?? I paid it, and I was very disappointed.
3) This is perhaps trumped by #2, but I love that WU provides a radar widget.
4) Furthermore, I wish that the available widgets (which also looked great) had a bit more data.
Today Weather seemed to be primarily about looking nice, which it accomplishes astonishingly, and secondarily about giving you weather in multiple cities. As someone who spends 99.9% of my time in one city, that's not an important thing to me. If I traveled more, maybe...
I like this app. I bought the ad-free IAP on the Play store a few weeks ago to support your development efforts.
Tested your weather app (via above post ).
Really impress with app interface, animation, icon sets,and relevant info. .!
Your options /list re Weather Providers i like.!
Plse note that, I am a sucker for top quality, weather apps.
Have paid versions of most of Android
best weather apps.!!
Bought your app, Today Weather within
10 minutes of testing.!
Only negative comments i have
at moment is you weather radar...?
Could be better.!!!!
eg in G map it shows precipitation
as a white blob...? (instead of blue animation?)
Widget with hourly weather summary
would be nice ?
Good luck with a promising quality app.!
I have tried a few weather apps, but this one is one of the best

Great weather app. Beautifull. But...please please please..make a widget with fong and look like stock s8+ weather app.
Thank u very much.
Really liking the app and have unlocked with the IAP. Probably my only feedback is that the various sources for forecasts don't align with the official forecast issued by the Bureau of Meteorology here in Australia, they are all off by one or two degrees.
purchased the app. overall, I really like it..the look, information provided. The one thing I would like is a better radar. Live in an area with severe storms and it is very important to watch radar to see which way the storm is moving to know if you need to take shelter or not...Please add a better radar...thank you for a beautiful weather app.
Is it loaded with ads?
Purchased it a while ago already, really like it.
The only thing that annoys me is the temperature in the notification bar. At some point, it just stops updating and I have to click on it to open the app and only then it updates. For everything else, it's all good!

Thanks for update ( v 1.2.2.0905017) to weather radar ( G maps )
Already a big positive improvement from previous version !!
It"s a bit jerky and i noticed that the weather radar
does not keep data for offline mode ?
For me it's a big help and saves time , if during the day ,
I have to quickly refer back to weather radar (whilst in offline mode )
only to find no info available ?
......and have to reload the G map radar data ?
Great app, any chance of a mini refresh button in the widgets or a update interval section in settings? Like a previous user stated, sometimes the widget doesn't update.
not working in China
hello all,
it is only me? I cant get app working in China, it even not start, it load just with vpn. leaving a part gmap for radar, it should work same as all others app I have cause it is using same sites for forecasts .

Hi, thanks for the reply. The app you gave me doesn't answer what I wanted. I want to stay with the same image on the screen, but if it rains in my area, raindrops will appear
Like here:
The drops in the beginning of the video is a live wallpaper...nothing to do with a weather app...Do understand what you want, but not sure if there is a weather app that does it that way. I remember long time ago HTC phones had an awesome built in weather app that had rain drops, lightning, sun and clouds on your screen depending on the weather....all interacting on the screen....that would basically be what you want...maybe try this, it's for the htc weather app, not sure if it is still the same as those days....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.Weather&hl=en_ZA&gl=US&pli=1
