Anyone be able to get the weather widget working? I keep getting a error message:

"Problem calling the weather forecast web service."

Thanks,

Mine works fine. Give it a try with wifi on and with it off (might work!)

Weather widget needs you to allow your phone to connect to the cellular network to determine location. GPS satellite will not work.

Menu > Settings > location and security - check mark use wireless network

Cheers.

Oh geeze you're right. Sorry i should have read your error closer. I apologize for that. Didn't mean to send you on a wild goose chase.

Can you try 2 things? These should be done independent of each other.
1) Make sure wireless network and GPs are on (for good measure)
2) Delete the widget.

suggestion #1
Menu > Settings > About phone > Update profile. Now add the widget and see if that helped.

suggestion #2
Reboot the phone. Add widget and see if that helped.

First off, don't be sorry. I thank you for helping me!

Second: I did all the above and no change.

It now says: Zipcode can't be found. Also, tried the State/City and it says: Zipcode for Minneapolis, MN can't be found.

Hey were making progress here! Ok so you tried the "use my location" option inside of the widget in the settings and no go? Then tried the "set my location" option and that didn't work either???

Correct.

 

[KSmithInNY]

Correct.

Let's get creative. Go into the app, open settings, uncheck use my location, manually set it to the postal code 49017. Thats Bedford Michigan. See if that updates for you.

Try downloading Fancy Widget from the marketplace and see if that one works?

First off, I should clear one thing up. This is the Sprint weather widget. That comes with the phone. (Under Sprint ID)

Second: It couldn't find 49017 and Bedford, Michigan.

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't solve the Sprint weather widget. I'll use that one thou, if this doesn't work.

Well....
1) You tuned on GPS and network location settings (Menu > Settings > Location and Security - check use wireless and check use gps)
2) You went into the widget and manually set the location to where you are and also tried another location which i verified worked on my phone (click the widget - Menu > Settings > Weather Settings )

I'm fresh outta ideas.

I click the widget, but i can't get the menu.

Add it as just the news widget. Click the news widget. Click Menu. Click settings. Click weather settings.

Not sure what happen, but the Sprint weather now works! It just showed up with my city. Very strange.

Thanks for your time and effort.
