Stock samsung weather widget problem - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I need help with my new note 8. Just finish setup and find my stock weather app / widget wan't work. i got message "couldn't find location" (my gps working fine in maps, etc). Also when try to set location manual got message: "service is not available temporarily". I try everything, set permissions, clear in app data cash, reboot, finally upgrade my phone to latest "N950FXXU1BQK6_N950FOXM1BQK6_BRI" and have some problem.
If someone have idea what to do, pleas help me? Thanks

Have you tried high accuracy in location settings?

Yes i try everything , my friend also have problem on s8 plus. I think it's maybe regional problem, we are from Serbia

I am having the same problem and I live in Santa Clara, US.
I hope it's not the phone.
Anyone else having this problem?

Same problem here and I'm in Indiana. Been flashing a lot today and thought I screwed something up...glad it's not just me!

I've got the same problem. Brand new phone, yesterday. Done a few updates.
Never used Samsung before, so taking a bit of getting used to - still not created a Samsung account . No idea why I need this to download a theme?
Going through all the setups/ discovery process.
Thought it was just me, but seems its not just me.

So I created a Samsung account, then it 'magically' worked. I was not trying the app again, but in the background, suddenly it told me where I was.
If others can say whether they have created a Samsung account, that may help.

Same UK
I fixed it by opening a GPS app wait till the location is accurate and then in Weather app clicked search and then the find my location button

Yes. In begining also i have same problem and then when i setup complet then this problem gone...

I suspect that in some cases, samsung or carrier make all functions fully operational after you complete the initial set up procedure, depending on region/carrier, just a thought

Location services another massive battery sucker. Always set mine to GPS only.

Problem
Hi, I have a S8+ and I have the same problem. When I click the refresh button on the weather widget it says: Service is not available temporarily.
I am from Macedonia, and like the user from Serbia said, maybe it's a regional problem.

The weather widget on the home screen works for me with the latest update on my N9500.
The weather in Bixby home is unable to update. It worked before the November update.

Do someone has this problem with HTC HOME in a ATT TILT

Since this morning my weather app. is not working anymore and I'm using the HTC HOME plug in it says " Unable to retrieve data for selected city. Select here to retry."
Can someone help me. I removed them already, reinstall them but doesn't work with any city.
Help please.
Just checked mine and it updated fine... Everything else working fine like browsing, checking emails, etc.?
Might want to copy that entire message into Google along with 'HTC Home Customizer' and do a search. There's various links to threads in them but I couldn't look too in-depth as to what the problem might be from.
Good luck!
There looked to be a post on here too but it was like 50+ pages, yikes!

Looked ok at first but digging further mine hasn't updated since Sunday 11/25.
Same problem with the weather here too. The last time I checked it was this morning, and it has stopped working since. I tried some random cities, and they did not work either.
(georgemera, try to be more specific with the thread title (e.g., at least, HTC Home weather not updating). I wouldn't have bothered reading if I didn't accidentally click it...)
me too
I'm also experiencing this issue, I haven't seen an update since Sun. I've been roaming all over the US since Thurs. but this has been my only issue. I too have searched but don't yet have a working fix. Anyone know if this is an AT&T-specific issue? I see that T-Mobile customers have had this problem in the past.

No problem...its actually really simple. Click on the City if you already have one selected as I guess you do. Then click on menu > weather options > and select fahrenheit.

thanx alot
The HHC custom database pulls the data from a different weather server. During the install, this reg key is modified to redirect any requests from your phone going to htc.accuweather.com to this other server. Most likely the server is not responding.
I found this in the registry...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Hosts\htc.accuweather.com]
"ipaddr"=hex:40,3E,9E,6C
This points htc.accuweather.com to 64.62.158.108
I found this thread and it has HTC Home 2.1 there. Now the cities are added directly to the XML file (different format) and the new patched Home app reads zip codes too. I'm getting data again.
From reading thru the thread, it looks like N2A (guy running the weather server) has disabled the IP based weather server, or something to that effect. anyways, the new version and method of adding cities works for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Can someone tell me how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance.
follow the link I provided above. On that thread you will find the Schen's 2.1 Home cab install. Remove your exisiting install of home, d/l and install this new one, then follow the directions in that thread for adding your city.
I do notice that on my Weather screen it doesn't auto update until I go to it, then it takes like 15secs but I'm not gonna mess with it. Apparently I'm pretty lucky here compared to others...

that's the way it works, HTCs idea of auto is refresh when I get there, not refresh in background. no worries, it usually goes pretty fast....

Weather not updating on watch. WHY?

Why is my weather not updating on my watch. I have it set to update every hour. It doesnt at all. I have to go into gear settings then weather and toggle off then on the location for it to update.

I had a similar problem recently, mine was also set to one hour & when I realized it was off by more than ten degrees I knew something was wrong.
I checked when the last time it had updated was and it was over 5 hours earlier. At that point, I tried absolutely every thing I could think of to get it working and NOTHING worked.
I finally figured out that the acuweather site was not working right. The next morning, it started working just fine again all by itself, and I hadn't changed anything..........
Mine has been like this since day one. Over 10 days now.
You have to use the stock weather app, it syncs with the gear.. I had the same problem, switched back to stock weather and everything works as it should..
I had this problem, Im using a custom rom.. You want to make sure you have accuweather widget installed.. theres also a weather service apk. Pretty much anything related to weather must be on your phone to be safe.
These may be considered "bloat" to some, without them the weather wont update.
Also I had to reinstall galaxy gear manager, now my weather updates hourly.
same here. today i try login to samsung play store update the gear manager and than the weathter show up.

Are you saying you have to use the stock weather widget on your phone? I use Beautiful Widgets on my phone, but BW uses accuweather. My Gear says it's 72°, my phone says it's 46°. The Gear says it was last updated @ 10:42 AM on 10-4. It's 9:15 PM on 10-25. I didn't even own the Gear on 10-4.

Answer: Location service must be turned ON
I just purchased a Galaxy Note 4 and for an added $55 deal I got the Gear 2 Neo smartwatch with it. I am having tons of fun with both the phone and the watch. I thought I would do a Google search on how to fix the issue with the Gear 2 Neo not updating the weather application when I have the Location button turned off and it brought me to this page.
Yes that's right! You heard me. The issue with Accu Weather not updating is because the Location Finder must be active or the watch refuses to update. I have verified this several times over again. Definitely the result of not being able to find it's location through the phone because the phone's Location service is off.
I have solved this by pressing the Location button and turning it on momentarily to update the phone. Sometimes leaving the Location on for several hours when I wish to receive weather updates. This is very self defeating turning it on and off to receive weather, not to mention that if a Severe Weather Warning came through on my phone I would not receive it on my Watch unless I had the Location/GPS/Wifi finder service running. That's just stupid :silly:. I will be waiting for a fix unless I can find some alternative clock/weather watch face that will replace this broken AccuWeather application.
I hope this helps you understand what is happening to your watch when it fails to update weather. And yes, it is also true that only the Default Weather application will send updates to the watch even with the Location turned on, that I have found so far. Though I'm still new at this and if I find and alternative I will certainly post it here for everyone.
Edit: Wow I just noticed the age of the last post before mine. OMG! I can't believe this problem still exists and hasn't been fixed yet over the last year. Complete brand new model and it still happens, this is sad.

I'm using the Gear S2 and the issue is still present! Pretty sad after all these years!
Literally am having this issue right now... SAMSUNG FIX THIS!!!!
Same here. Galaxy watch 46mm and Galaxy S10+. I believe that it auto updates while my phone is on wifi, but it does not update on LTE even if i try to force it on watch. If my phone is not on wifi it updates thru Galaxy wearable app.

[Q] Did anyone else receive the V700XXUBNA6 update?

I received this update this morning which adds an Email app to the Gear but there is no info on how to set it up. There does not seem to be much buzz on the internet about this update either.
Does anyone know anything about this update?
Thanks!!

hi , dont know much about your OTA ,but have been using NA6 for a "few weeks" now and so have other forum users .(Flashed it with odin )
here is the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639495
(you can read this thread if you want to .)
NA6 is stable and battery use is fine.Cannot complain.
using it with Gmanager v 1.6.132701
Not that I've heard. I am on V700XXUBML1.
Yes, i updated yesterday, but nothing seem diffrent, there is one bug i see, if i slide to left fromt the watch face i get a blank page.
i don't know what is that page suppost to be.
hope can find away to fix this.

hi ,
first of all don't think it is a bug on Rom NA6 ,( i have no such issue,using NA6 and Gmanager v 1.6.132701 )
This happenned, a few times to me in past and other forum members , on other Rom 's( and it was always the relevant Gear manager version )
I fixed this by staying on relevant Rom, but going back a version /or so, to Gear manager version , that works 100%
.i suggest to check/try other version of Gear manager( you can search Gear forum, all Gear manager version is posted here somewhere ).
Plse note ,best is to do a clean "reset " when installing and pairing Gear manager( on phone ) and Gear.( watch )
Usually it was the" notification tab" that was missing on Gear )
Only" bug" i found on this Rom NA 6 was if you sideload ,apps
,it will disappear from"" apps" on Gear watch ( but in reality apps are still present on Gear ) .
A reboot fixes it temporary , otherwise use "recent apps/tap and hold two finger on watch , to find sideloaded apps .
good luck

Reset your gear. Happened to me when I selected restore. Resetting the gear corrected the blank page.

Thanks for the response guys, Does anyone know how to use the email app that was added to the watch?
There are no settings for it in the gear manager. Perhaps its for a future update?
Thank guys,
i'll try to reset the gear first.
I just got the update yesterday and something is making the battery drain like crazy.
i think after doing the update i lost the weather infos on my gear. Nothing else bad here. anyone experiencing the same problem?

just a heads up.. if your gear is working perfectly, do not update. it's not worth with dealing new problems. no new functionality has been added, otherwise i'm sure they would be promoted.
Per @SamsungSupport (and I also verified), the Email app icon is only used to view the native email client's notifications. This sounds cool, except that our Gears already receive notifications for that, so not only is having the app icon redundant, the stock email notifications can no longer be deleted. In notifications, the little email icon will show like you had a notification, like Gmail, etc... except when you click on it, it says no notifications. I had to reset my Gear to remove the blank notification. (Tweetview, anyone? )It is not a stand alone email app that lets you see all of your emails, etc.

My sided loaded apps are no longer showing either. Is this because of the na6 and 1.6 combo? I tried to flash an earlier gear manager version, but it kept updating me to the latest one after I installed it.. Any thoughts?

It appeared after i tried to install the new version of Gear Manager (1.7.031004) from Galaxy S5.

R381XXU0BNL2 New Firmware Changes?

My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)
hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)
I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.
Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:
hi
deleted
Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.
Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep
Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.
FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:

Lost S Health 3.5.1 - help!

A few days back my watch (Neo) stopped synching with S Health (long after updating the app and Gear Manager) - it just happened out of the blue. No reboots were able to fix this so I thought (yeah, should have known Samsung better) that if I reinstall S Health it might work again. BTW: all other sync activities DO work between the watch and my Note 3.
Lo and behold, after "Uninstalling app updates" I found myself stuck with S Health 2.5 (pre- Gear 2) and definitely NO way to sync as it takes me to a page to "update your Gear Manager to a new version" - which I already have.
Needless to say that S health reports "This is the most recent version" when I try to force an update. The app is NOWHERE to be found on their market. I tried the old "fitness" app (superseded by S Health later) and that doesn't work either for an update.
Last but not least I did try to unpair and pair again...no luck. I didn't factory default the watch as the problem is clearly on the phone side.
I started reading that this synchronization has been reported as broken by many....wonder how many here have the issue (pedometer, sleep, etc)?
Second...can a merciful soul upload S Health 3.5.1 maybe I can sideload it to my phone? Cheers!
/RANT: no wonder Apple is eating Samsung's lunch (even at home in SK) as I have not seen such a clusterf... of apps not working/pulled from market, updates that never arrive, etc. Bad, bad customer experience....100% disappointed with Samsung.
wipe the slate clean...and go on hating Samsung
Sort of fixed it...
Installed the 3.1 S Health version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750381&highlight=s+health&page=2
That was NOT synching either...so I thought I need to bite the bullet and wipe clean all the data from the watch and Gear Manager....that DID IT.
Super painful as I had a ton of apps and customizations and my life is better spent having fun rather than fiddling with the phone and watch, but ...that only makes me swear I will ditch Samsung next time around.
Hope this helps someone...someday
/EDIT Ok, that effing didn't last. Not only I lost most of my watch apps (how the [email protected] do I get them back when I cannot uninstall/re-install them ) including Watch Styler.
And the pedometer claims to sync but now it doesn't transfer any data.
[email protected] you Samsung.
Just in case....mind posting a 3.5 S Health if you have it?
Thanks

Well I suppose I have to thank myself. How I got S Health 3.5.5 back:
1. uninstalled Galaxy Apps update (back to ROm original version)
2. uninstalled any S Health updates
3. Allowed Galaxy Apps update
4. In my "Purchased" apps I found now thta S Health shows up and indicates an update is available
5. Forced the update and had to reconfigure my profile (lost all data) despite having a backup.
Hope this helps someone else fighting this horrible app.
Do you still have the synchronizing issue with S-Health? I cannot synchronize since the last update. Nobody seems to have this issue on this forum, but in France I know that a lot of people have this problem.
Thanks

You can probably imagine if that worked I would not have gone through the trouble of uninstalling and installing both apps. So NO, your suggestion was tried and did NOT fix my problem. Might work in other cases...
Just tested all the steps in this thread and my sync is still broken, nothing goes to S Health. Also in Gear Manager is I click the gear icon the option to sync is grayed out.

So you uninstalled S Health (downgrade to default) and uninstalled Gear manager, then re-installed both and still grayed out? Then I'm out of ideas...as I'm not crazy to suggest a factory default

I had a similar issue after my S5 was upgraded to Lollipop. Turns out, I missed an Gear Manager upgrade along the way. Upgraded to the latest Gear Manager and that seemed to work. Now there is a firmware upgrade for the Gear 2 Neo that seems to make it work even better. Latest software: Gear 2 Neo - R381XXU0BOA2, Gear Manager - 2.2.15011799. S Health - 3.5.5.0036. I am not rooted

Wait until Gear Manager updates again @2.2.15022599...that POS broke AGAIN the sync with S Health. So tired of this sh!t.
S Health doesn't support non-english sync to samsung account
Are you guys by any change using another language than English as your phones language?
I've been struggling with syncing S Health to my Samsung account for.. "forever".
But the log file in /android/data/com.sec.android.shealth/files/logs/*.* gave me a little clue..

I started searching trough the smali code to find out more about "Requested parameter [languageCode:nob] is undefined value."
Suddenly I thought "am I just making this more difficult than it is? I'll start by changing the language of the phone to English!"
And badabing.. suddenly S Health for the first time was syncing with my Samsung account... (attachment)
since many of the class call use langcode it wouldn't surprise me if missing langcodes could be a fundamental flaw in the S Health app design.

Mine is English too...always was. BUT...that being said, after the steps I listed above, sync seems to be working fine (knock on wood).
Samsung being Samsung, despite NOT having a scheduled sync set up, I do get a midnight notification "Please open the mobile app and set up a user profile" if no manual sync was done that day. Makes ZERO sense, as I do (obviously) have a profile and why on Earth would it tell me to open the "S Health mobile app" on the phone itself...it's not like I have one on the watch too. Semantics...
