Good Droid X Weather Widget

[llasch]

Now I have searched other threads already (disclaimer for the mods) and looked on the market but I want this to be a Droid X question...have any of you found a GOOD weather widget specifically for the X?? Like I said I've been browsing and browsing (seen a few comments of some apps not being good on the X in the market) and can't find anything that's quality.

Also I had beautiful widgets on my INC but when I search it on my X it says I have to buy it again...any way around this?

Beautiful Widgets + Beautiful Live Weather

 

[llasch]

gotta have'em both?? or will one suffice?

If your using the same gmail account on your X then you shouldn't have to re-buy. If you figure that out, beautiful widgets is the best. I don't really recommend their live wallpaper though because it makes everything slow and will drain the battery.

i second BW, it's really the best alternative in the market.

and you shouldn't have to buy it again like spaceman says, just sign in with the same google account you used on your inc...

Well, I just purchased the BW app, says purchased, but everytime I try to install it, keeps saying "Install unsuccessful." Why? Any reasons?

"Weather & Toggle" is another alternative to BW. It also has a very Sense-like skin if you want something like that for your clock.

BW uses AccuWeather now, which I'm finding to actually be accurate. It looks very nice in there Beautiful Home widget. I have no idea why you'd be having trouble installing it. Maybe try restarting the phone. I know that's not how it should normally work, but these phones are small computers and computers need to be rebooted from time to time.

I also really like the WeatherBug app and widget. They have a free one that probably works fine, but I'm a weather fanatic (my kid plays tennis tournaments) so I went ahead and bought the paid version (WeatherBug Elite for $2) for the extra weather maps.

If you like the HTC clock/weather widget, you can use Fancy Widget. Can't find it on the market but I was able to find it using Google Goggles or Barcode Scanner.

^^^ +1. Fancy Widget is the best. Period. Uses less resources and still looks better in my opinion.

Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets or Weather Bug.

FW is a great widget but doesn't come with its own little weather app; if you click on the weather icon, nothing happens. You can, however, set it to launch an application (like Weatherbug). BW, on the other hand, launches its own mini-weather app when you click the weather icon; it has the never-ending Sense-style weather animations, the forecast for the next few days, and links to the Accuweather site.

edit: speaking of the BW animations, has anyone ever seen them end? Clouds just keep drifting across my screen until i tap the screen to bring me back to my home screen. Is this normal, or should it stop after a few seconds?

If i click on the weather icon in FW i get a 3 day forecast. And if I click that I get a more detailed weather channel page. You have to click it dead center.

Anyway +1 for fancy widget. Works using GPS and does the job. Not all of the widgets available use gps.

The weather channel is pretty good. It's accurate. I bought beautiful widgets 2 days ago, had it updating every 2 hours, and it was showing cloudy and lower temp all day when it was 10 degrees hotter and not a cloud. I got my refund.

Fancy Widget and Weather and Toggle each look great but do not update the weather anymore. At least not on my X.

 

[davidnc]

I have weather channel its free off AppBrain/Market Place.I have not yet made my mind up which paid weather app I want yet probably will have by Christmas tho.

 

[jordans0nly]

I bought the Beautiful Widget app and 24 hours later its still saying "Download Unsucsessful", anyone else having problems?

Nope but contact them via email they are very good about getting back to people.

I use weather bug. Set the widget to use background color and the text color to either black or white depending on what your wallpaper is and it looks great. Intact other than the voice search. It is the only other widget on my main screen.
