Temperatures in Fahrenheit show Celsius values instead #646

Closed ki9us closed 2 years ago

When set to fahrenheit, it always shows the units as °F but the number is obviously celcius. Doesn't always happen but if you open and close the app a few times you should be able to reproduce.

Interesting, I couldn't reproduce this bug. Could you tell me which location you're in, i wonder if that is the cause?

ki9us commented 2 years ago

I woke up this morning and it's correct again. I'm in Conejos, Colorado. I have a thermometer and it was showing ~28°F yesterday and the app was showing -0.5°F. Now both are showing 30°F. I'm not sure when it changed, but the taskbar is affected too so I will try to watch that and try to determine what triggers it. Is there a way to access logs without installing a bunch of android sdk packages on my computer?

Is it possible this only happens when the temperature is in negative numbers on the centigrade scale?

ki9us commented 2 years ago

Doesn't look like it.

I just set the location to Fairbanks, Alaska and it shows -2.5°F. Actual weather is 1°F/-17°C according to the NWS.

that sounds like it confirms my hypothesis

ki9us commented 2 years ago

Well 1°F is pretty close to -2.5°F so I think it's showing the correct scale and not doing the bug thing.

ki9us commented 2 years ago

Oh, you mean that the bug only happens when the temperature is above freezing? No, it was showing ~33°F all day today which was accurate.

ki9us commented 2 years ago

I've tried toggling all the settings and restarting the app and can't reproduce it. There's a chance that I had the location set wrong or the new location hadn't detected yet. I'm just going to close this for now and come back if I see it happen again.

It happened twice today, that I saw celcius numbers in the notification but as soon as I tapped on it, it updated to the correct fahrenheit before my own eyes.

Oh, neat I can drag-and-drop videos in here, proving my sanity.

So 9°F is correct. It was never -12°F so this isn't a case of a delayed update. Also 9°F = -12°C.

Also note the forecast is unaffected by this bug and always shows the correct scale.
