<![CDATA[Widgets doesn't update.]]>Radar and wind widget doesn't update automatically and neither manually.

A few days ago the upper left corner refresh icon continues to spin and it consumed a lot of battery.

I also have a suggestion about the wind prediction widget. Could you make bigger arrows for the wind dirección. It's hard to see them properly. Thanks.

My device is a Samsung A53 with One UI 6.0.

When I click the widgets or open the app it works just fine, just the widgets not updating so the only cure is a complete restart of the phone.

Prior to the update Windy's battery usage was less than 1% per day. After the update it's running at 15-20% per day.

[edit to clarify that it is the battery usage that increased]

I don't know how the OS / phone calculates these figures, but 5 hours of CPU and 7 hours of GPS for an app that's running in the background, with just 2 minutes of screen time, seems excessive.

Confirming the same. The Widget stopped working and there was a huge battery drain, so I removed the widget, but Windy is still a huge drain on the battery - see the attached screen grab.

My device is a Samsung A53 with One UI 6.0.

I can confirm the exact same situation on Samsung M54 with One UI 5. Widget had been refreshing forever, and Windy the top app in battery usage. After uninstalling battery back to normal. Thanks.

Edit: as I've been using windy for quite some time and have followed last year's widget issues, I can confirm all permission were set as expected. Re-adding the widget or reinstalling the app sometimes fixes the issues for some time. Even removing the widget, the high battery usage remained, so I've uninstalled for now.

I am looking forward to being able to use Windy again,
I had to completely uninstall the app, because it was still draining battery even without Windy widget on the home screen, while other weather app widget work fine.

Thank you.

This is now the third Saturday it's fine the same thing, last update of the widget was at 04:15 and it's now 08:00.

I tried also with the stock launcher, the same issue happens. So Nova is not to blame. I've been using Windy and its widgets for a while on this device without issue, so I doubt that there is a background process affecting it. Nevertheless, I've looked again deeply in all settings and looked for system app and could not find additional restriction settings that could affect windy behaviour.
I hope this can be solved soon.
Seb.

Sometimes, on many Android devices, you can have full battery access, but there is another app managing this and that affects the widget behavior as well.

For instance, certain Samsung models with their OneUI have optimization app installed, that our widgets cannot detect, but it still affect the behavior.

Hi, I follow on this thread as I experience similar issue. The widget went all dark, with the notification "Updating widget" always present in the taskbar, for hours, and battery usage was abnormally high for windy.
I removed the wigdets from my home screen, but the windy battery usage remained high.

The app has all the correct permissions (battery, notifications, location,...)
I tried to reboot the phone, still unable to use the widget.

My device is a Gigaset GS5, runing android 12, and I have the nova app Launcher.

Hope this can be solved soon.
Regards
