Weather Wiget Not Working

I noticed this morning that my weather wiget wasn't updating at all.  So I deleted the wiget from my home screen and then re-added the wiget to my home screen.  When I try to add a city to the wiget, i get an error saying "Can't add new city now.  Try again later."    What's wrong with this thing?

It's because I was opening and using the program Advanced Task Killer rather than using the ATK wiget.

 

It's all good now!

This tortured me for days. Finally figured it out. For some reason it isn't updating via the 3G wireless network. Turn on WiFi and connect to local wireless router. It should now allow you to add/edit cities. Cubro

I use to have that problem. Then I figured out that all I had to do was tap the Weather Widget (even though it days 'service not available' ) Then hit 'Menu", then "Refresh" And VOILA! it's back.  Atleast for me anyways. Hope this helps.

 

Mine works without Wi-Fi on. I just went to Weather Widget / Menu / Settings / Weather Settings / Set Location,   to set my city. When the widget bugs out I do as described above.

I have provided some information below that may help.

 

Step 1. Try a soft reset

-Power off the device

-Pull the battery out for 20 seconds

-Place the battery back in

-Power the device back on

 

Step 2. Ensure the that the signal strength is adequate (3-5 bars)

 

Step 3. Try removing the widget and adding it back.

Step 4. Try refreshing the widget

-While in the widget press menu

-Select refresh

Step 5. Remove the widget and try clearing the widget data (instruction article below)

 

*** This step would be recommended if the issue continually repeats.
