Android :: Google News / Weather Widget / Unable To Connect?
Jun 16, 2010
Was wondering if anyone has noticed a problem with the Google News & Weather widget today? I installed this on my EVO (Genie Widget.apk) because I love its simplicity and elegance, but today it's telling me "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later" with a "Retry now" button. Just wanted to know if it's only my phone or everyone's? I tried rebooting, also tried stopping and uninstalling/reinstalling but to no avail. If it's happened to other people before and there's a trick to fixing it, that would be great to know too.

I haven't seen this posted yet so here it is. Some of you may have seen the pics for the Google weather/news app/widget for Android 2.1 that was running on the Nexus One. Well some hackers pulled the .apk file off that phone and now have it available for us Droiders. I put it on my phone and it works great. The news app is really cool. You can create custom news topics such as "Android" or "Mobile News".

I just got a new Eris from Verizon today and flashed 2.1 again on it and I can't find the news/weather in the market. I flashed the latest leak. Does anyone know where to get it. I had it before and thought it was in the market. I also did a search for the .apk you would think Google would put there products at the top of the page!

Is not available on the phone (Droid X). Yeah sure there are motoblurry widgets, but I kind of liked the Google one - slim and handy. I downloaded a copy of GenieWidget.apk but it wouldn't install - not sure if I picked a bad copy or what.

Has anyone had any trouble getting the news and weather widget to work today? Usually I check it when I wake up in the morning, but it just displays 'network error'. I've tried WiFi/3G, uninstalled/reinstalled the apk, and restarted the phone with no luck.

I've been looking for a simple yet powerful weather widget for quite sometime. (I don't need goofy weather animations.) The N1 news/weather widget is exactly what I was looking for, and it runs great on the Evo. The included app is also very nice, I like seeing a graph of temp change over time.
Here's a link to an Incredible thread with the apk download.

I found this apk from another site so If anybody wants a nexus one weather/news widget I attached it here. It works with the Incredible. You just need to put the apk in the sd card, download AndExplorer from the market and install it.

I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for how to port the News and Weather Widget from stock 2.1 do the Incredible. I had it on my Moto Droid (now the wife's phone), and I really prefer it to the HTC Flip-clock. I like how unobtrusive it is.

This morning, at random, i woke my phone up and unlocked the screen after being in my packet and the news and weather widget's grey background is gone and the news and weather is simply in white text over the top of my background. i actually like it, but just wanted to know if this was right?

I accidentally selected gmail to use as the 'default' application when I want to share a story in News & Weather. I meant to select Twidroid (for tweets)... now it's 'stuck' wanting to send to my gmail. Not good. How do I release it from gmail being the default (so I can make twidroid the default)?

I'm sure there's an easy answer to this: I have a lot subscriptions in Google Reader that I'd to access through HTC's news widget; do I really need to export an OPML file from the Reader to my phone - or is it easier than that (I'd have thought so!)?

I have News and Weather set to "Use my location". Up until yesterday, it was working fine. Now the weather tab gives me the message "No weather location available." It will only give me weather if I enter a specific location. I have GPS turned on and other applications that need to find my location, such as Compass, seem to be able to.

When i first fired up the wildfire it had the news widget on the homescreen ready to go on BBC news. I liked the fact it automatically refreshed the news every so often. Now it has stopped working via the widget. I have tried removing and reinstalling the news widget but the widget just hangs on the message 'loading news'. I can still refresh the news headlines by going into the app but it seems an unnecessary hassle when it used to do this automatically. Why and how to fix this? The phone settings all lok okay.

I have an Enco B046 car radio which incorporates Android 3.2.2
All was working fine last year and had installed all my apps etc but recently tried to connect to the Market/Play Store to install other apps and it hung for a while then gave me the error:
Quote:
There was a network error while trying to sign in to <gmail username> Retry now or press Back button to cancel
I have internet access from the browser etc but just not Market and Gmail.
I have tried clearing the app data and even done a full wipe.
According to the 3G data icon it's trying to send data but receiving nothing back and it just times out.

Has anybody figured out how to "delete all" news articles in the sense 2.2 news widget? The articles just keep piling up and the only way I can find to delete them is one at a time, which is very time consuming.

I have a copy of the Google Genie APK that has transparancy and was previously using it. Velocity 0.3 has the Genie widget (was it in 0.2 as well...don't recall) and I've tried removing it via a script in the terminal emulator. Removed fine, but I cannot install the APK I have for some reason. Simply comes up with the error "Application not installed". When I do attempt to install the APK, a message comes up saying that "The application you are installing will replace another application". I know that the file versions are different as well. Love the transparent widget.

I love this app but the detailed graph which shows the temperature and probability of rain is now only showing a 1 hour scale instead of the 24 hour scale. (The graph still shows 24 hours) so I can't really tell how the forecast is changing throughout the day.
I've tried a soft reset but it didn't work. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it.
As the app was pre-installed on my phone I'm not sure how to remove it and reinstall.

Android News & Weather app lets you swipe to reveal another view, just like the iPhone. Can someone show me an example of how this is done? It is not a ViewFlipper attached to a GestureDetector.

There was a news and weather widget that I really liked on 1.5. But the new 1.6 version doesn't seem to have it. So I searched the market but no luck. Can anyone tell me know to get that one?

Anyone using Genie.apk (News and Weather Widget)? I installed the widget for "Weather" and it has been working well, until yesterday. It just says "Sorry, unable to connect, Please try later." And there is a "Retry Now" Button. Pressing retry says "loading" but then returns the same message. I have deleted and reinstalled the widget with the same results. Hopefuly it is just a server issue, and will be fixed shortly.

I doubt anyone is as excited about this as I am but with the 2.1 update, the Moto Droid has received the Nexus One News and weather app. I have been searching for something like this for along time and there were a few out there but nothing like the one that 2.1 has just given us. I know I sound like a loon but news and weather is part of my daily morning ritual and this just made it better!

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the stock news and weather widget lying around. I really liked that widget and its not on the Rubix rom. If someone has it themed in black or with white letters that would be better. Thanks guys. Plus anyone for google search themed in black too?
