The AccuWeather widget does not work on older Samsung phones. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, at the beginning I want to point out that this is my first thread, so if I did something wrong I apologize. I also want to apologize for my English.
Recently, on many old Samsung phones, the AccuWeather weather widget stopped working for me. First, I noticed the problem on the Galaxy A5 2015 with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. When I wanted to enter the city into the weather, it did not find my town, and after entering larger ones it was, but after selecting them suddenly disappeared, I tried to use the map, it showed me several large European cities there, but after selecting any it wrote that the service is now unavailable. I decided it was a temporary failure, so I ignored it. Some time later I managed to fix my Galaxy Note3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop, so there I wanted to introduce the weather, but the effect was the same. A month later I reset my Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the effect when trying to enter the weather city the same, 2 days later I got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 JellyBean, the effect exactly the same. I remembered that on my second S4, but with Android 4.3 JellyBean, I have the weather introduced, so I charged it to check it, the weather was there, but it showed the state of March 26, 2023, after trying to refresh itself refreshed the moment, but finally there was the same effect, when trying to add another city, the same effect as on the phones mentioned earlier. Maybe someone knows what the problem is? If AccuWeather doesn't work, maybe there's another widget that looks like the original one? Please help.

Accuweather requires Android 6.0 or newer. So that's why it doesn't work on Android 5.0 anymore.

Ehhhh, can I use a custom app to use this feature? I want it to look like the original. By the way, I will add that on my Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 works AccuWeather.

If that works on Z2 then maybe it's older version. I just look out playstore that newer versions requires Android 6.0+

And it is possible to somehow make it work, for example, a custom widget, but to look like the original or something like that?

Watched the same behavior...
AFAIK no custom widget will work since the app itself is the one to blame.
Accuweather v5.8.6 was the latest version to support Android 4.1+.
Search the web and install it. It works. The widgets are slightly different though.

The version for the tab does not even let me download it, I have tried the remote but it looks wrong and I want the video streaming function as this is one of the main reasons for buying it.
The Smart View-app isn't ready for the tabs yet.
Samsung issued a statement, when they first launched SmartView for the SGSII, that 8.9 and 10.1 tablets will be able to download the app in the late summer.. So just be patience (like me! )
I tried a downloadable .apk version on my 10.1 in combination with the d8000...
The remote function works, but when trying to switch to watch tv it crashes.
Then i found a ported version, which should work on more android devices.
That compatibility i can't check, but still the same crash on the 10.1...
i thought Samsung said they would put it on the 10.1 and 9.8 by default...
One of the main reasons, for bying it...

Have you even bothered to read my post right before yours?
Samsung never said it would be on the tab from the get-go.. They promised to release it "after the summer".. And seeing how vague that statement is (doesn't even tell if they mean summer in Miami, Stockholm, Capetown or Sidney), it's pretty safe to say that they're still in keeping with their promise..
any news about samsung second TV?

Nope, no news yet.
I wrote with a Samsung-dude last week, and all he could say is that they're still planning for at september/early october-release
See here for the download link and information about the app.

Hi,
I want to try the Smart View-Tab version on my Galaxy Note because the non-Tab version has low resolution.
Can any Tab owner share the new version of the Smart View-Tab app here ?
the apk please...
Also we have a discussion about this on the Note section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420918&page=2
I'd appreciate if anyone could share this app from their Tab 10...
Smart view Tab:

thank you.
but I get a package corrupt error.
can you check if it's not corrupted while uploading ?
package corrupt
Downloaded and installed here without any problems...
I've got a Samsung 5700 .. doesn't work though (even though I can activate network remote in my TV menu...) Anyone any ideas? What does my TV mean by Network Remote then?!
any news ?
can anyone else upload the Tab app from their Tab 10 ?
Did you try in the market? Both Samsung remote apps (tablet/non tablet version) show there?
"Samsung" as the query?
They don't list the "Tab" version to the Galaxy Note.
Don't know if this is what you are looking for, I use it to control my 7000 series Samsung LED on my Tab 10.1. For some reason I don't get the dual view as an option but I have read others are having the same issue. Works fine for me, full screen, as the other one is really small when it loads.

APP Live tv UK - all freesat channels. Modded for MULTIVIEW floating window :))

***Originally modded for 10.1 Note, but I think it should work on the Note2
APP Live tv UK - all freesat channels. Modded for MULTIVIEW floating window )
This is such a great app for live TV (UK) Freesat channels.
But I thought it would be excellent if I could browse the web while watching/listening to the news, or QI on DAVE etc.
So here it is.
I modded it to work as a multiview floating app, and it works great.
Install, launch from pop up bar, switch to cascade view, select your channel, open channel (not app) in full screen, pin it, now you have a floating re-sizable TV on your tab
As I say works great for me on JB 4.1.1 (now 4.1.2), I hope it works for all
Let me know if it works on your devices.
***If you the app already installed, remove it first...
Enjoy
MJ-12
thanks
thanks man
if you can make a floating multiview mod for all app like note10.1
and n7000
don't work for me in france should i use vpn application
:crying::crying:
So it's not working outside of UK...
installed fine but I'm still confused on how to actually get it into popup view ?
yes me to installed tried different methods but cant get it to floating like videos do (how do you pin it ),please explain for us in more detail please only can get it in mutiveiw but dont need mod for that cheers
If you guys hold down the back button to launch the split screen menu, TV Catchup now appears and you can open it and view on one of the 2 split screens. Simple

Thanks for the reply, I am not familiar with the note 2, as i said i modded this for the note 10.1
On the 10.1 only on JB 4.1.2 do all apps now work as a floating window, anything before 4.1.2 didn't work originally on the note.
As for UK only yes it is as stated, but you could try a vpn proxy based in the UK, not sure if that world work but it works in reverse for UK seeing US shows for example
PS Hey Bane we have to meet for a coffe at Starbucks at Cornmarket ann street. I am also at Belfast ))

Hiya,
Sorry. It's not something I've been able to do before. I'm on non rooted, stock Note 2 and have only had a small, finite number of apps available in the drawer with no option to add any. I couldn't see TVCatchup in there before, and after installing this it did show up so it was new for me. I understand what you mean about floating though- just like the stock video player right?
RE: MJ-12- Greetings! I'm sure we could! Starbucks, where I don't think we can pay by NFC still. In fairness, I've not had google wallet on this phone yet. I had it once on my Galaxy Nexus through a hack, with a prepaid google card, but never got to use it!

[Q] z5+ iPhone clone to native Android 4.2

Hi,
Recently purchased the following iPhone clone:
z5_4.0_Android_4.2_MTK6577_Cortex_A9_Dual_Core_1.2GHz_Smartphone_Android
It runs iPhone launcher which uses "iPhone like" settings.
The problem is that the available languages are limited and even if I download keyboard pack it doesn't show it in the options.
Other keyboards like emoji present only english (emoticon leaves a blank).
I'm ready to lose the iPhone GUI.
How can I revert it back to Android 4.2 native GUI, without loosing USB, Wi-Fi, GPS or any other available functionality?
I went through the posts but couldn't find a match - if there is one, please point me to it.
Thanks,
JL.
Any update?

[Q] Stock Android on my Samsung Tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE Edition, and I was wondering if I can install stock Android on it without loosing S-pen Driver support. Also I'm not getting the KitKat Update because I'm currently living in Greece, even though I'm using the GUI in English, so that kinda annoys me. Anyway, I hope there's a solution.:good:

Cyanogenmod is about as close as you are going to get to stock Android for it. S Pen works, but you won't have any built-in S-Note or handwriting keyboard type stuff. You will need 3rd party app replacements. As far as the update, it's pretty common for them not to get auto-updates if you are in a different region and they haven't pushed out the OTA there. It's best to update via the computer anyway as it creates less issues generally.

On cyanogen mods website they state only the original Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, not 2014 edition are supported. Also, can't I use the Samsung S-pen apps if I port them over to CM? And lastly - how can I update via the computer. THx

No. They're usually tied to the TouchWiz framework and it's hard to nearly impossible to get many Samsung apps working properly on non TouchWiz roms.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ Search for P605 and download the one you want for the region the tablet is original from or if you have a rom picked out and they suggest a different base to have installed first, use that one. Instructions will be the same either way. You can follow the guide here:

Gear Fit manager fully working for HTC m8 5.0.1 Lollipop and maybe other phones?

hi!
so since i tried nearly anything to get my HTC one m8 to work with my gear fit i decided to write this little tutorial, because i did not find any which fully worked.
the version of zwegnet was kind of working pretty good but i could not reject calls, or send a reject message.and media control was broken too.
the one from koalala gave me a crash every time someone called me and i did not get the calling notification.
then i read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gea...r-fit-samsung-devices-lollipop-t3004234/page5
and on page 4 somebody started talking about a htc one m8. and that was pretty much my salvation!
It is version 1.98 of GFM but it works like butter!
Please test it with other phones running Lollipop and lets see if it works, many guys in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/general/1-117-0306-gear-fit-manager-samsung-t3077473 reported the same issues as i had and now im VERY FINE
WHAT YOU have to do
1. update your samsung gear fit to the LATEST version ( R350XXU0BNG2) with ODIN ( not with a SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 because youll get a different version) FOLLOW THESE STEPS : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759697
2. Take bronxgsi 1.98 version ( THANK YOU BRONXGSI!!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3154622&d=1423331069
3. UNINSTALL your old version( if you have one) and INSTALL THE APK
4. The rest should be clear, connect to your gear fit, enable notifications in gear fit manager and in your android phone, settings -> notifications-> notification access-> gear fit manager has to be marked!
Now everything should work perfectly! of course anything touchwiz related is not working and some guys say app connect is not working, anyway i am not using such thing.
A BIG THANK YOU goes to :

How to get it working?
I have Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300) - Android 5.1.0 but I think that this solution may work for anyone, not only SGS III users (with custom rom).
If you did everythink as well as in the manual and your Gear Fit Manager crashes when it try to connect with your smart brand, you have to do only one thing: edit your build.prop.
Change "ro.product.manufacturer=..." to "ro.product.manufacturer=HTC", than reboot your phone and its done. You have working Gear Fit Manager with non-samsung device (or samsung device with custom rom) on Lollipop.
This idea is not from my head. I read it somewhere here on xda, but I think that its better to have this instructions on this page. Hope it will help you and sorry for my bad english.
works perfect for my lg g3. I just want to make my own watches but I can't see how to crop or do anything.
2 questions: will this same method work for the Samsung Gear 2 and secondly, do I have to be rooted to do this? I already had my Gear 2 connected to my HTC One M8, but as you all know, once it updated to lollipop, it stopped behaving correctly. Thanks in advance.
HTC One M8
Hi
I follwed the steps below, managed to upgrade the firmware (R350OXA0BNG2) using ODIN and that seemed to work fine. Only when I install the apk file do I come across a snag.
1.78 installs OK but crashes when it opens
1.86 does not install
1.98 does not install
I have tried installing them in order but same result
Anyone got any ideas?
