| Message-ID | <vgfgab$22qrg$1@dont-email.me> |
Any other UK users of the Met Office app finding that for the last couple of days or so the widget often hangs on "Getting your current location" and doesn't update? If, as suggested you tap on the widget you simply get a screen repeating the above message with no useful extra information, not even an error message, which never progresses further. I tried rebooting the phone, and it worked first time back in, but the next time it reverted to the above. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Met Office app, with no improvement. Meanwhile, the BBC weather widget is working normally, but generally doesn't seem to be as accurate in its forecasts. Yesterday evening the phone updated to Android 15, but I think this was happening before the upgrade. -- Fake news kills!

No problem here, apart from the fact that its predictions are not very good here on Tyneside. -- Jim the Geordie

Could the delay be the phone trying, and failing, to geolocate you?

Don't think so. I have the locations permission set to permanently on, and have turned off the phone's ability to manage the app, so that hopefully it will be just left alone to run unhindered. When I first unlock the phone with my finger it displays normally for a second or so, but then immediately hangs as originally described. -- Fake news kills!

The stars or the tea-leaves or the chicken's entrails must be in the correct alignment now! -- Fake news kills! I may be contacted via the contact address given on my website: www.macfh.co.uk
