Samsung Galaxy S3

Hi

Does anyone know how I can get the weather app to automatically update on my S3? I have set it to auto refresh every hour but this does not seem to work.

HI Bij

My weather app seems to be okay.  I have mine updating every hour and have the Enable current location setting ticked. I also set up another city - I am not sure if that affects it at all.

Probably a silly question - is your mobile network always on? Also location services needs to be enabled so system can read your current location and update. I have set mine off to conserve battery life and as a consequence, I find mine too does not auto refresh as per settings.

Hi Bij,

Thanks for posting. Can you let me know if the advice drey_p and picadillyjim provided has helped to solve your query? If not let me know and we'll be happy to look into this further.

Cheers, Ben

There is a known bug with the app that was fixed in a recent update apparently although I am still waiting on this update being pushed out.

Hi Ben, 

Yes thanks. Mine seems to be working now.

Thanks all for your input.

You can get credit for solving your own queries?

I will be up to mentor level 100 in no time now

btw, I did mean to post on this thread having had the benefit of turning on the hourly updates and giving it a while. May as well add now that it did indeed work properly on my phone

[Bij]

Haha thanks 1daniel.

I think the problem is back though. I had to restart my phones yesterday and now the app does not refresh automatically again??

[drey_p]

HI Bij - I was hoping that the problem had been resolved.  Please just double check that the Auto Refresh option is still ticked?  Just a thought, do you have more than one city set up for weather?

[Bij]

Hi drey_p,

I was hoping the problem was solved too. It was working fine until i had to restart my phone.

Just check to make sure that the Auto Refresh is still ticked and it is.

I don't have more than one city set.

Do you have enable current location ticked? Also GPS enabled?

It followed me around the Country the other day, refreshed and changed location every hour as per the settings.

[Bij]

Yes, Enable Current Location is ticked and GPS is on.

[drey_p]

Bij - could you add another nearby city and then do a manual refresh when you have both cities in the list.  Then leave it to update by itself.  You'll be able to see which one has updated by swiping up or down on the widget in your home screen. I am wondering if there is something to do with the location service that is messing up and preventing the update from happening.

[thesoupdragon]

Have you tried deleting all the locations in the weather Widget, then remove the widget from the desktop.

Manually Sync your Samsung Dive account and also the Google account. ( just in case any settings are auto retrieved ?)

Turn the phone off and back on (again to make sure processes are reset)

Now add the weather widget to the Home screen and configure the settings.

Does it work now...?

[Bij]

Hi drey_p and thesoupdragon,

I have tried both your suggestions.

The app started working for me based on thesoupdragon's suggestion. However it has stopped again. Not sure why???

[63johnw]

Have you tried any other weather apps?

I haven't yet. Maybe I will now

Accu Weather on the home screen doesnt update on 3G for me. Is this correct? Every time I update it whilst Im on the move it says network unavailable
