[Q] Yahoo Lockscreen Weather Not Working?

[Midnight1970]

Just curious - I noticed this morning that the Yahoo Lockscreen weather hadn't updated in 5 hours so I rebooted the phone and now it won't refresh at all. Currently running the CyanogenMod 10 - GANGNAM STYLE rom. Wife's phone is running the same rom and having the same issue. Tried flashing another rom that uses the same Yahoo lockscreen weather and it exhibited the same result, no data.

Is there a fix for this or is Yahoo having troubles? I wouldn't have posted this but this issue has been ongoing since early this morning and its 10:39pm local time now with still no resolution.

Thanks!!

I believe yahoo's weather servers are down since Chronus has also been having issues updating weather.

Thanks for the reply.

How would one find out for sure?

For some reason there seems to be an error in Yahoo's XML stream. Logcat shows:

E/WeatherXmlParser( 1229): org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unexpected <! (position:START_DOCUMENT [email protected]:1 in [email protected])

Probably only heaven knows why.....

(On Nexus S with CM10 here)

Good. That means I'm not crazy. Wasn't showing up for me either. Was thinking I'd have to reflash my rom. Saves me doing that.

Got the same problem here in London, thought I was going mad!

I thought something was wrong with my device (Desire) or rom.
Same problem in Athens, Greece.

just sent a message to Yahoo. Let's see what comes out....

Thanks to all of you for confirming that I've not gone mad.

It seems like such a minor thing but it really bugs me that it's not working.

Same here since it's affecting all my widgets that use Yahoo weather.

unfortunately there is no fix for CM10 users yet

I had to go with a different rom...

I likes me lockscreen weather and I wanted something different anyway... disappointed by this.

the apk is for CM10.1 users as i understand! CM10.0 will need a different fix!

I apologize the link was for Chronus which i believe someone stated having it on chronus like i did. Yahoo will eventually fix it.

I hope so, but some people say that yahoo shut down the old API, so we CM10 users may need to wait for a patch.

Another yahoo failure...? Sorry, venting some. My fiancé uses yahoo mail on a stock Bionic and since their new ui release, it was crap. Never worked right and the app reviews reflect that. Seeing issues with their weather too makes me lose confidence in the company. Not that I use it anymore anyway.
