Widget not updating
-
@TeaKave Screenshots from my Settings, showing that Location (Foreground) is granted but there is no option to grant Background Location
And from ADB, showing that FINE and COARSED LOCATION is granted but not BACKGROUND
-
@zgfg You have two options.
- Option:
- long tap on Windy logo
- tap on (i) icon
- tap on Permissions
- tap on Location
- tap on Allow all the time
- Option:
- add a widget to your home screen (or open widget settings)
- click on Update settings
- tap on Allow all the time
-
@MarkNagy Please see on my screenshot - link in the previous answer, I allready had granted ALLOWED ALL TIME Location to Windy
Besides, I'm not the only one (I'm on Xiaomi), but you have users from Samsung etc reporting the same issue
Btw, I have solved now but by ADB,, specifically granting BACKGROUND LOCATION permission

Same here Samsung S21fe, won't update widget... premium paid, .everything enabled and granted. Stoped working after latest app update. Please fix.

@zgfg I have the exact same problem on my Google Pixel 7 Pro since the last app update. Running the latest Android 13 which isn't beta. Pls come up with a fix asap.
-
Same issue on my s20.... I've tried all the "fixes" and nothing works... the only way is to delete the widget and re-add it every time. Every other widget I've tried works just fine so it's clearly a Windy issue.

REVISED: All the permissions were already set properly. Uninstall and reinstall, then redo the widgets made some progress. (Got a few requests for permissions again.) Rebooting seems to show the content of the widget (it was blank before) BUT, the Updating Widget icon in the status bar never goes away and the Widget never updates.

Problem has returned. When the device is started, blank radar widget with spinning icon. The only fixes are either deleting the widget and re-creating it, or clearing cache. Furthermore, the widget does not update. Reverting back to the previous version of Windy until this gets fixed...

Google Pixel 6, latest update, all permissions on, widget doesn't update the current temperature (forecast updates fine). Also three dots button on widget is nonfunctional and the previous "refresh" icon is gone. Very poor update.

Galaxy S21, Android 13, same story

I had the same issue on Samsung A53, tried all the permission grants as written in many comments, but still no success.
What helped me though and seemed to be the missing step was unchecking the "Remove permission if app is unused" checkbox under the app info (long press the widget, then hit "i" to get there). Since I unchecked this, the widget update notification disappeared and the widget is updated regularly.
-
Please can you check the last update released at the end of the week? It should solve all issues with bad communication of widgets, more info here.
-
latest update broke widget on my side, redmi note 9 with android 12
-
@Václav-Poláček Did you reset your widgets after the update and check our article? Did you mean update from the last Friday or any other from v.38 to 39? Could you please the whole issue?
-
@Ondřej-Šutera seems to be working, restart was needed... but updating widget message stays in the notification forever :)
-
I had the same issue as stated above and none of the given solution worked, except reinstalling the app. Samsung Galaxy A32.
-
@Konrad-Jarecki-Pawlikowski Hi there, which version of Windy you have now? These issues should be mainly solved in the last version.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera I had and have the latest version and as for now it's OK after the reinstall.
-
All widgets are not loading on my Samsung Fold 5. I have the most recent version (just downloaded from the app store).
