Re: Home Screen Weather Location
Hi Kidrockerz,
I'm new to Android & the GS3 too, but this is what I did, for what it's worth. There might be a better or faster way, but this way should work; (btw... my GS3 is running ICS 4.0.4).
First, make sure that your Wi-Fi is turned on—and then under 'Settings' > 'Location services'...make sure that the top check-box at—'Use wireless networks'—is checked.
*Note: The 'Weather 4x2' widget was already on my home screen, if I recall correctly, when I first booted the phone. If yours isn't, you can move the 'Weather 4x2'—from you app drawer—to your home screen.
Then tap on the weather widget—then on the next screen (title-bar: 'Weather'), tap on your menu capacitive button and select 'Edit'—then on the next screen (title-bar: 'Edit'), tap the 'Current city' button to 'On'—if it isn't already on by default. Okay, then, if your correct city doesn't come up...tap again on your menu capacitive button and select 'Search'—then type in your desired city & state abbreviation in the 'Search cities' field; [e.g.- Double Trouble, NJ ], and tap the search icon.
Or, after tapping on the weather widget—you can also just tap on the [ + ] on the right-side of the (title-bar: 'Weather')—then type your desired city & state abbreviation in the 'Search cities' field; [e.g.- Slickpoo, ID ], and tap the search icon.
You can continue to add more cities with either method.
Hope that might be of some help to you.

PS— On the (title-bar: 'Edit') screen, tap the 'Current city' button to 'Off'—and go back to 'Settings' > 'Location services'...and un-check the 'Use wireless networks' check-box—if you want to run w/ optimum battery saving, or until you need to turn your 'Location services' back on.
