I'll clear data and cache and reboot to see if that changes anything. But I suspect that just cranking up the app to input my preferences will be enough to jump start the widget update process even though I currently have no windy widgets created.

I just tried creating a new widget and still get just a blank image with the play button, the windy logo, and the 3 dot menu. Touching any of them just brings up the app which runs normally, but none of the widgets show anything.

Since creating the new widget, I now have a persistent notification that windy is updating the widget. But nothing happens. I can delete the widget but the notification remains. I'll have to reboot the phone to clear that notification.

The only change I can think of to the pixel 8 pro was an update to the latest security patch (Nov).

After deleting the cache and data on the pixel, I recreated the widgets. I also had to go back in and change my defaults, as expected.

There is a bug with the weather radar in the standard 2x2 configuration. The refresh and other buttons brought up by the 3 dot menu are unreadable narrow strips. Not sure they're clickable.

Right now the 3 widgets I created seem to be working normally. Let me give them a little bit and see if they continue to function normally.

Edit: I tried the same thing on the one plus 8 pro and the weather radar widget doesn't show an image. Touching the 3 dot menu brings up the app in full screen and shows the normal radar image. But the widget itself doesn't show anything other than the windy logo on the top left corner, the 3 dot menu in the top right corner, and the play button in the lower left corner. There's also a notification that the widget is being updated but that persists with no change.

Ok. Standby.

The radar widget is now blank. I recreated it after noticing it was stuck on the day earlier. The daily and weekly widgets initially worked but didn't update. When I brought up the refresh button from the 3 dot menu, it wouldn't refresh and the refresh option persisted.

When I touch the 3 dot button on the radar widget, it brings the app up on full screen. No refresh button.

So my results with the pixel 8 pro on Android 14 are very similar to what I was seeing in recent weeks on my OnePlus 8 pro on oos13.1.

In addition, the battery on the pixel 8 pro is reporting windy as consuming 26% of the battery usage.

I have removed all windy widgets for
the time being.

Pixel 8 pro is from Google so there is only "pure" Android software without any other SW.

I deleted all the widgets since they're presently not working. I saw your message so I created a new radar weather widget. Just a black area with the windy logo on the top left corner, 3 dots in the top right corner, and a play button in the lower left corner.

The error console says no errors. Go figure.

So I've quit using Windy on my OnePlus 8 pro for now. I don't have the pixel 8 pro running yet so not sure how windy works on that yet.

My pixel 8 pro came in yesterday but I don't have it fully set up yet so I don't know if that will change anything or not yet.

I've disabled battery optimization for windy, enabled background activity, enabled notifications, and there are no known restrictions on windy. What used to work fine (Windy widgets) will not work for some reason I haven't been able to determine.

I think I'm about to move to pixel. Hopefully I'll have better luck on the pixel 8 pro. 🤷‍♂️

Currently, none of the widgets work. Touching them won't launch the full screen version either. If I launch the app, all of the displayed layers work fine in full screen.

This is unusual behavior in my experience. Windy used to run fine on my 8 pro. I'm not sure what changed.

Touching the 3 dot menu in the top right corner of the widget no longer brings up the refresh option. It brings up the configure\resize\remove\etc option.
