Severe Weather Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm on a TMO S8 running 950U CRE2. I've noticed that I no longer get severe weather alerts. It happens in both 1Weather and WeatherBug. When I open the app the notification will appear but not until I open the app. Any ideas? Since it's happening in two different apps it's not app related. All other notifications seem to work.

Sounds like something is off with your location settings. Do those apps have permission to access your location?

I thought the same thing as initially I did not but set the location manually. I since have changed it to enable the app to use location info. But it didn't help. I'm wondering if it's a global location issue.

Figured it out. I had to include WeatherBug to the do not monitor list for power management.

[Q] Startup

I'm running the EVO-NonSense ROM, and recently I've noticed that the 4g turns on every time I reboot my phone. Is there a way that I can disable this?
I'm also having skype start now too, I'd like to disable that as well.
That is usually caused by a 3rd party widget, be it SwitchPro or System Info Widget. Are you using either of those? In the past all I had to do was delete and reinstall and that problem went away.
I am not using either or those two or anything similar to my knowledge.
Well what widget are you using to turn on and off your 4G?
In the drag down of the notification bar, there is a 4g toggle. I use that to turn it off when it's turned on at startup.
Hmmm not sure then. Do you have beautiful widgets installed? Not sure if that has a 4G widget or not but thats the only other thing I can think of.

Location services icon

So I went to go turn location services off and I noticed that the notification bar icon stays there and just changes. does Anyone know of a quick fix for this? Or if I'm even really turning location services off? I thought this was pretty stupid, if someone's going to always have location services off, they're not going to want an icon always.

That is a Verizon issue. You would need to post this question in the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 forums.
Mine just shows these options
Thank God I'm using intentional note 2.
But what exactly is e911?

Emergency 911. Allows them monitor your location in case you call....I believe.

Notification pull down

I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.

Widgets Not Updating

Has anyone had a problem where widgets will not update (for example, weather widgets don't refresh and switch widgets don't show a change in state)? I had thought I traced my issue to Be weather, and switched to Beautiful Widgets and after working fine for a day or two it has started to cease updating every few hours and require me to restart the launcher. I noticed this on Apex and Go Launcher.

Some Samsung specific widgets will not update if you are using a different launcher

The widgets I am referring to are third party - BeWeather and Beautiful Widgets appear to potentially "cause" an issue, but once the issue occurs, all widgets are impacted.

My internet access works fine (I still get emails) - and once I restart the launcher it automatically updates. Plus I have played with the network optimizer function (new feature that will go on and off WiFi depending on the ability to get on the internet) on and off and the same thing happens.

The re-update switch in the widgets doesn't work. Updating launchers and widgets to latest versions does not work. All widgets just become unresponsive including switch widgets (I use switchpro). They will perform the function (I.e. on a weather widget the update happens in the background and the switch will perform whatever function its tied to) but it will not display (I.e. the switch widget will not show the change in state and weather widgets will not show the updated weather).

Lol - I hang out with all apple guys. I do know one person with an S5, uses Go Launcher and has this issue with the Accuweather widget and the stock weather widget (which I believe was also powered by accuweather on the back end). I noticed that, regardless of the widget I was using, I still show BeWeather as an active process, so I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still have the issue however.
PS - I have no issues with my Nexus 7 (2012) which runs Kitkat as well.
Interestingly enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. There were updates to Apex in the meantime, perhaps its that.
My friend with Go Launcher is also seeing the same impact - the issue is gone.

Calendar widget quit updating
Just today, my calendar widget stopped updating. Just says "No upcoming calendar events." I've tried the stock and Agenda Widgets - nothing. I'm running Google Now launcher, but they don't work in Touchwiz Launcher either. I noticed yesterday that the number of items on the widget began to dwindle.
Any fix for this?
Well, trust me I did everything for my Xperia L when I encountered this problem.
What I did for my device

Look two three posts before it for more information!
What fixed it was taking battery out for few minutes and putting it back again!
Hey guys, if you stop the cashed process for touchwiz home, the widgets immediately start updating. I'm using a verizon Samsung galaxy s5 4.4.4 kitkat. Just thought I'd throw that in...

Location Found Notification

Whenever I turn on my screen, there's a Location Found notification appearing on my lockscreen. Any clue how I can disable that?

Is the location switch in the drop done menu on /
if yes, then turn it off and the issue should stop.
If no, then you need to find which app is asking for a location fix. It could be weather app.

Definitely want to keep location settings on. Curious how I could tell what app is prompting the notification though.

what apps do you have that rely on location ?
try disabling one by one till the notification does not appear.
Do you have a partner as I use this to see where my wife is using the android built in app, and when I do this comes up on her phone, so maybe someone is checking up on you?
