Genie News & Weather Widget Issue?

JsChiSurf · Jun 16, 2010

Anyone else having a problem with the genie widget today?

I can't get mine to load anything, and a message pops up:

"Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later."

I have to guess google accidentally changed something on their end that the widget is connecting to, that is failing, for retrieving the necessary data.

I am seeing the following in logcat:

Code:

Just want to see if I am the only one...

Nope, your not. I'm having the same problem. It was fine yesterday. Today it doesn't work.

I also found a post here where some Nexus One users reported the same (including one who is unrooted).

On another forum somewhere withe an Evo is having the same problem.

All of this only today. So it much be a Google thing.

What version are you guys using? Mine works perfectly fine...

JsChiSurf · Jun 16, 2010

I may be running an older version, as I keep carrying the one I have forward from ROM to ROM, based on customizations I'm too lazy to re-do.

Mine shows as 1.1.7 RC6.

Do you have a link to that version anywhere? All the ones I keep finding are the same version as mine, which, from what I'm reading is probably the cause of the problem.

Thanks.

Dang. New version, same result! I appreciate you taking the time to post it.

Now I'm wondering if the issue is based on location, or if you guys have a cache that you are running off of, where my cache is blank, and therefore failing.

Do you see anything in your logcat regarding successful update, or, how old our your latest news updates?

im using DC 2.0.9.1 and the genie widget is working just fine

JsChiSurf · Jun 17, 2010

Yea, this is not ROM dependent / specific. A quick google search shows it's popping up everywhere. I suspect when your cache expires, everyone's will bork too, unless a remote fix is done before this happens.

The same version on my wife's hero was working when I got home from the office, and has now stopped as well.

If someone who has it still working can remove and re-add, while watching their logcat, to see what messages appear regarding success / fail on the call to google, it would help immensely.

Yours appears to be working. Do you know your version number?

danaff37 · Jun 17, 2010

I see it now

. Shoot, that's the same version I was running originally. This makes me think it must be a location issue, or maybe you are pulling the data from a different server based on location.

Guess those it's not working for have to wait it out, as I'm not sure how we could fix it based on the variability and the fact that the same version is working for some and not for others...

if it is location based, in tampa, fl area here for comparison sakes
