Thanks for posting that but does the weather part work if you dont have a samsung device? Also what if your not on 4.3?

Can you add a similar widget to watch face on stock gear?

You need Gear Manager on your host device to use any Native functions on the Gear, inculding weather updates.

No I will not.
First up, you need to be rooted to get acces to the count..
Second, it´s a completly different thing to create the widget as standalone than trying to implement it in a stock app.

Interesting I do have the gear manager installed on my devices. Like the gear manager icon appears when I Bluetooth connect my device. I still don't get weather updates. Someone was saying you have to have th Samsung accuweather installed.

I have NULL_ 22.1 installed.
I am using the clock + weather widget.
I do have NotiCounter installed.
When I try to place the clock + weather widget and the NotiCounter widget on the same screen, the clock widget gets cut off.
I also am using the dock for my all apps button, tho i am trying to get LMT set up to use it instead.
Thanks for the assistance

I have a Note 2 (i605) and GearManager installed.... the weather widget will not work unless I have the stock TouchWiz clock on one of my home screens. So I just put it on one i never use.... No idea about getting it to work on non Samsung phones, maybe someone has ported that widget?

Yeah I thought there was someone at one point that had the samsung apps and had re authored them so that you could use them with other devices. The search featured has been disabled for some reason on this site so I cant look for it.

accuweather widget vs lockscreen location updates
Same problem !
Stock Accuweather widget not updating current location, even if i force it to refresh !
whereas if u enable weather on the lockscreen ! it updates the position perfectly !! dunno what sense does it make not making the normal widget updating while lockscreen one does!!!!
anyone have a solution for this ? ive tried everything (removing,re-adding widget , removing cities in list..etc) but nothing worked.i dont recall this happens with most of the weather apps out there , my Desire HD does it perfectly with sense.
cheers
lol lock screen is working ???? this becomes really idiotic.
yup had the same problem so i switched to beautiful widgets and it works perfectly

yeah it is ridiculous !
do you have location enabled? wireless or GPS.
enable current location in the weather app only works if you have it enabled on the phone.

I find the problem, they create alot of places to feed with wheather, but it is all the same temperature, WHY THE **** ACCUWHEATHER?
Take a look in my situation, I live in Rio de janeiro and with all others apps of wheather locate me as Rio de Janeiro, JUST THE **** ACCUWHEATHER LOCATE ME AS NIGUAÇU and is a place, FAR, FAR WAY FROM ME. AT LEAST 2h by car, take a look at accuwheather map:

guess you need to check the accuweather support site as to why.
Many different weatherapps, try some

Open the weather widget and change it in the settings on your phone. Then reboot both
Actually it is in the setting for weather in the Gear Manager app.

There isn't anyway as of now to refresh from the watch itself. It does autoupdate as soon as the app on the phone updates tho. I currently have the phone app set to update hourly on mine so that the weather info stays somewhat updated. I would imagine a future update will include someway to refresh directly from the watch itself.

That just allows you to setup how often the weather is refreshed, it doesn't actually do what the op asked which is refresh the weather from the watch. As a side note when you change the settings in Gear Manager that you mentioned it changes the settings in the weather widget on the phone and vice versa. I do believe that a future update will allow you to refresh the weather directly from the watch tho.

Undersood the question but frequent update (e.g. every hour) should mean there is no need to update from the watch. The weather does not change that fast!

The problem i'm having is that Weather isn't updating at all on my Gear,
If i go into apps and press weather i'm met with 'Add city to weather widget on mobile device'
On the main Gear clock/weather screen it states 'No weather info'
I've tried turning 'Use current location' on and off in Gear Manager, restarting both devices didn't help.
Also tried resetting the Gear to factory defaults.
I'm using a stock Note 3.
Everything else seems to work well,
Any ideas ?

is the weather app setup correctly on the Note 3? It gets all of it's info from the stock app on the Note, oddly enough the weather app is obviously different from previous versions as it doesn't work at all on an S4.

Appreciate the quick reply,
Everything was setup correctly but for some reason re-installing Gear Manager on my Note made it work.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but i don't know if it's worth creating a new one...
Is there any quicker way to check battery life ?
The only way I know is to go into the Settings app on the Gear and then Battery.

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Accuweather widget to run in the Nova launcher? It seems that only the TouchWiz version updates the weather clock on the Galaxy Gear watch. It would be nice to have it work with Nova as well. I did install the Accuweather application from the Play Store, but its widget doesn't sync with the Gear watch, or so it appears.

You have to use a root browser to copy it to system/app.
With the new tizen update you can refresh weather manually from the watch now

Weather widget for Galaxy Gear
Hello to all
I noticed that all the widgets I tried to use that was not native to SAMSUNG is not synchronizing with the Galaxy GEAR.
Thus, I can not use the coolest launchers because of this.
Some of you can use other launchers and weather widgets that sync with the Galaxy Gear?
Thanks.

Launcher 8 free+ lockscreen

HI, i found this launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lx.launcher8
works great on Gear, also included lockscreen works! Swipe from left to right to change Tile's color, lockscreen type, wallpaper etc.
I'm on null_04 rom and i moved launcher from /data/app to /system/app but it work also without moving it.
As you can see in lockscreen we can have status bar too!

Install this software http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/ to your PC (trial works fo a month) then connect Gear to PC and confirm message on Gear. Now you can install any app from PlayStore to your Gear.

Thanks i will try it tomorrow. Currently downloading the null 05! and then i'm gonna learn about customizing my Gear. Is it only for PC or it is working on Mac?
I use a Mac, so for flashing Odin i have to ask my brother to lend me his Windows PC. So it means i have to download the app via PlayStore on the computer... and then use the program to transfer the .apk from the compu to the Gear.
Let me wait a bit and update to null 05 and see how the PlayStore works around with internet connection. Thanks again.

Best bet would be getting the stock samsung weather working.. You wont require a internet connection on your gear by doing it this way..
Accuweather....apk & WeatherDaemon.apk are needed on your phone for Samsung weather to work. Refer HERE for more info.
You can then use samsungs stock weather widget for custom text widgets, this is more a advanced user method tho.

The thing that annoys me about Samsung's stock accuweather which the gear seems dependent on unless you tether it to the internet is that it requires you to be outside with GPS on for any updates to show as far as weather, temperature, ect... At least that's what I determined on my setup and I looked everywhere in the widget's settings ect... on the phone for a way to change that and can't.
