Widgets on Android stopped working after the last update
-
Look widget on phone and tablet at same time:
Both Android 13 windy 39.1.1.
It is not working properly! -
@Korina is there any chance it gets fixed? Had to remove Windy app as always have Updating widget in status bar even without any widget added to any screen. Windy version was the latest one available in google play, not sure which one. Can you please let me know when I can install Windy back on my phone?

@Ondřej-Šutera Temperature is still not updated in widget. Windy 39.1.4. Android 13.
-
@ArendvanE Did you remove na add the widget back with an update? We made a lot of changes with the version 39 and the last update as well. Also it is necessary to check all settings about batter usage, auto updates, etc.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera I have reinstalled the Windy app on my phone and on tablet. No improvement, plus, widget on phone and tablet show different info at same time
see pics:
-
@ArendvanE Do you have the same version of Windy on both devices?
-
@Ondřej-Šutera yes. 39.1.4
-
@ArendvanE Do you have same setup for permissions of Windy, as well as the same battery usage?
-
@Ondřej-Šutera yes, both 39.1.4.
-
@ArendvanE I mean same settings (auto-update, permissions, same battery usage,...), it doesn't have anything to do with the version of app.

My app updated to 39.1.4 yesterday, and the widgets are behaving strangely. The app itself seems to be working fine. Samsung One UI 4.0 (Android 12).
At first, widget was black/empty as in this topic's opening post. I've tried removing and adding the widget back, and got a single day displayed:
After a few hours, it was showing the five days as usual, but with a red circle arrow (meaning it's refreshing) instead of the icon on the top left corner. There's definitely something wrong there...
Edit: I've restarted the phone and got a blank widget again:
-
Windy was updated today, july17. After this, the widget I use stopped working. Re-installibg the app helps only to install a new widget, but it looks very different from the widget preview!
-
Temperature in widget is not refreshing.
-
@PerryT Do you use a custom theme on your device?
-
... the same by me !!!

After a discussion with colleagues, here are the instructions how to restart widget after the update. It is necessary especially now, when the update get a lot of changes in almost everything.
- Remove all widgets
- Open windy application settings
- allow Notifications
- Go to Permissions - enable location (Allow all the time)
- Go to Battery - allow unrestricted battery usage
- add new widget
If the widget does not show correctly after the first update refresh the widget manually
Also if these steps won't help, please try to reinstall the app and try the process again. -
@Ondřej-Šutera I have done all this, but I am afraid the temperature still isn't updating in the widget.

I have not managed to get the widget to work since updating last Monday. Screenshot_2023-07-19-09-18-38-20_b783bf344239542886fee7b48fa4b892.jpg

I second this. After the recent update, not only the widget doesn't update (manually or automatically), but it's way harder to press the 3-dots at the upper-right corner of the widget in order to click that manual refresh button. The new Premium/Settings/Refresh buttons keep disappearing on the first 3 pressing the 3-dots in the corner. My overall experience using the widget is worsened.
After clearing the cache, uninstalling then installing Windy again, only the very first time the widget gets the data needed for the location. I have the "Updating widget" notification in my notification tray and it stuck up there without doing anything. Any other refresh request obviously fails regardless all permissions are set to allowed.
