Force the location in the weather extension #20

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Weather extension should be configurable, in order to be able to set the 
location manually.

I often deactivate the location access, and the weather extension is not 
displayed.

Same issue

+1 for this. I live in Bucharest, Romania, and some times it shows 
"Popesti-Romini, Bucharest, Romania", other times it shows "Cioplea, Bucharest, 
Romania". Not sure what Popesti-Romini / Cioplea have to do with my city. 
Cioplea, for example, appears to be some tourist area in ANOTHER city.

Also, I don't know where the weather info is coming from. Google Now shows 
different values (temperature / conditions), the News application is disabled...

So... +1 for manual location input and weather service provider.

Same issue here from Malaysia, it is not providing the location on where I am . 
I suggest to add on manually added location.

Not sure if it will fix it, but I posted a modified version that uses Weather 
Underground instead of Yahoo Weather in the 'weather high/low' issue. You could 
try that until roman fixes it officially.

Similar problem. My weather location had never been updated since I added the 
widget. Even after uninstall and reinstall several times. Strangely this only 
happens with my N4. My N7 seems to update fine. 
Location: Malaysia

It will be nice to have an option to have the weather displayed without service 
location activated.

Thanks for the lovely app, by the way.

My weather location is never right either. Every other app that uses my 
location is correct though. Wish I could just set my zip code and be done with 
it.

This should be high priority

Also without using location you can save battery life and "all" applications 
will not have access to your location if you don't wanna. 

Agree to have a search feature.

Just to clear up some misconceptions, DashClock does not use GPS. It only uses 
network location.

Original comment by roman.nurik on 22 Feb 2013 at 7:55

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yeap i know,  but when you enable location (wifi/network),  2 google maps 
process will start,  and consumes memory and consequence a bit more battery 
consume. 

Tks for the heads up John.

Malaysian user here, weather extension works fine.
noticed that installing 'deep sleep battery saver' caused extension to fail 
updating, showing only blank field. changed to 'easy battery saver' and weather 
extension updates well.

Strange - after the latest update my location can no longer be determined.  It 
worked just fine before. In Ottawa, Canada.  How about making it a user option 
as to whether the GPS is used and possibly the ability to save a default 
location to use if location can't be found?

Would be nice if you could hide your location but still show CITY

Original comment by bc8...@gmail.com on 4 Mar 2013 at 9:01

Yep. Also, to be able to rename the location manually... if you can't input the 
location by ourself.

I think this is a must have feature. Manually configuring our location would 
make it accurate and definitely will save battery and ram usage.

Please also see my related feature request to move weather next to the clock,

In the mean time you could use 1weather it doesn't show up in a dash clock 
extneion search in the play store but provides a nice extension with fixed 
locations.

The suggestion to use 1Weather has been a suitable stop-gap for me, thank you.

I just released an extension that's based on the weather extension from 
DashClock. It allows you to set your own location and shows forecasts in 
expended view.

In addition to all the awesome alternative weather extensions out there, the 
built-in weather extension will be getting an update soon.

Fixed in revision e9f8c1fa3e24.
