Android Widget Displaying Celcius

[pg.schultz]

@cshorett I, too, am having same problem for couple weeks now. Ever since the widgets stopped loading for a few days 2 weeks ago. Figured you guys were playing around again but then saw some text from you that everything was A-OK.
See attached please.

Same here. All units are wrong. Temperature, rainfall, and wind are all incorrect. Units in the app are fine, and follow my preferences. Widget does not.

Samsung S20, Android 13, Windy v. 42.1.4
Also on Pixel 7, Android 14, Windy v 42.1.4

@rbrosz Did you try to manually refresh the widget?

@Suty. Over & Over & Over again.

@Suty Still wrong units after refresh

Me: Z-Fold4 Android 14, Windy v 42.1.4
Widget displays Celsius.

Husband: Flip-4 Android 14, Windy v 42.1.4
Widget displays Fahrenheit Correctly.

Thoughts please?

@pg-schultz Okay, thank you for reporting this. I will forward this to colleagues and let you know if we need anything else. Thank you for your patience with the issue.

Hi everybody,
I am trying to induce this problem, but the units in the widgets are displayed correctly. I think the error may occur in the synchronization between the application and the widgets. Could you please try the following: In the application in the settings, switch the units to for example celsius, then refresh the widget and then again to faranhait and refresh the widget again? When you change the units in the settings, the settings in the widgets will be synchronized. It is possible that the data for the widgets has been lost and this is how it will be uploaded again. Anyway, I will check the synchronization mechanism again.

This resolved the problem for me.

I'll add that I only noticed this bug after updating Android with the May security patch and restarting. Maybe just coincidence but who knows. Pixel 7, Android 14.

I had tried deleting the widget and replacing it, but that didn't change anything.

I swapped the units in settings and refreshed, then swapped them back and refreshed again and it worked. I did have to do this for every unit individually. Changing temperature corrected the temperature on the widget, but rainfall and wind speed were still wrong. After swapping all units it looks like it is fixed.
