Resolving Issues with Android Widgets: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
I had the same issue with the Windy widget not updating. Here's what worked for me, I enabled notifications in the app settings, set location access to Allow all the time, and changed the battery usage to Unrestricted. After doing this, the widget started updating properly and hasn't had any issues since. Hopefully, this helps.

I don't understand what's happening. I don't have a Battery menu in the settings. Is it because I'm on android 14? here are my settings. My widget always "can't load location"
-
@serkef Unfortunately, Android 14 chose very confusing way how to allow the battery consumption. Please tap on the text, not the switch, of this option:

@Suty omg thanks
-
Can I take a location coordinate from a weather program or add it to it?
-
@md07
Please could you be more explicit?
Is your question in connection with the title of this topic “Resolving issues with Android widgets” ? -
Steps didnt work either, Samsung Galaxy S24, adding a widget is impossible, all buttons are frozen except text size and opacity. Android 14-11, One UI 6.1.75, windy 43.0.5

@Golfox2 Can you provide a screenshot of the widget settings?
-
I had problems with widgets not displaying anything. I resolved this by setting location in the windy widgets app (not the windy app itself!) to always. My phone is a Samsung S22 ultra. Now I can even use a different weather model instead of the useless ECMWF when I tap the widget to open windy. Win-win! 💪

When I add the Detail widget it says battery use is restricted. I've confirmed that it unrestricted, tried clearing storage and cache, and uninstall/reinstall.

@Daniel-01 Hi, I see your Premium is active so the extended forecast should be as well. Can you please describe where you missed the forecast? Screenshot would be perfect.

I have an annoying problem where the widget works fine until I open the windy app using the widget then for some strange reason the widget shows "cannot load your location" error after I've finished using the windy app. It will then just randomly start working sometime in the future and it is really frustrating. This issue has been going for almost a year or so. I've followed all the steps to fix issues by uninstalling/reinstalling windy and the widget, battery optimisation and location settings. I'm using a Samsung s24 Ultra.

@WillanZar Hello, when you open the widget settings, do you see any errors there?
-
@Suty no errors.
-
@Suty song going into the widget settings and adding it again will fix it straight away, but I shouldn't have to add the widget again.
-
@WillanZar Can you please keep the new one and let me when it will crash again?
