DashClock Weather Extensions not Working on S5?

[Mr Marcus]

Hi, all.

Recently upgraded from S4 to S5. Love the phone. Only problem is that NO weather extensions for DashClock seem to work (or even show up) on the S5.

I run the same setup as I did on my S4. Nova Launcher and DashClock. All weather extensions worked fine on the S4, but don't even show up on the S5. No error, no nothing. Like I don't even have it on there. It's not a specific weather extension, as I've tried 4, I believe. All other non-weather extensions function fine.

Anyone else had this problem? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?


Thanks

Anyone?

I am thinking that no one who uses the Dashclock on the S5 has seen this thread.

I just looked to see what "dashclocks" there are, and there are a bunch by different vendors.

Please give us a link to the exact Dashclock you have, and also to the exact Extensions you are using.

I personally don't have a need for a Dashclock, but I do use "The Weather Channel" app which is great.

It would seem to me that an app like that would be using a good bit of battery to stay updated.

Right, figured no one who uses this combination has seen this yet, which is why I bumped it.

This is the DashClock that I use. I think what you're seeing is a lot of extensions by other vendors. As far as extensions, I've tried a bunch of weather ones, like this (which is what I used on my S4) and this and this. None of them are showing up. All other extensions work fine.

I use Accuweather, and DashClock links to that, polls weather from there, and opens that app when you tap the extension (or whichever weather extension and app you prefer). I am not concerned about battery usage, weather app vs weather app, or anything else outside of the fact that the weather extensions are not showing up.

Tks.

This is the DashClock
I am going to say that it is NOT compatible with KitKat and that is why it is not working: I saw this right off when I looked at that link:
This app is compatible with some of your devices.
Which means, it will work with my 3 year old Galaxy S, but not the S5.


and that negates the extensions you are using.


Now, all of that said, I am on Verizon and I really like the OEM Dashclock which shows the weather on the top 1/3rd of the screen with a large clock. For me, that is good enough.

I downloaded your widget and it installed on my S5 and it worked just fine, and it brought up the Weather temp and location for where I am at.

I suggest you uninstall it, and try again.
What carrier are you on?

It does work with the S5; like I said all extensions work fine otherwise. ALL of them... I had done all the uninstall/reinstall/power-off basic troubleshooting stuff already.

The only thing that I hadn't thought to try was turning off and back on my location services. So I just did that and it works fine now. Guess there was a glitch in the Matrix someplace. Put the location services right back to where they were and now it works fine. Weird, but I'll take it.
