iPhone Forecast is dead…long live Weatherboard 2!

I installed Stripe weather widget. It looks quite good - but for some reason even though I have GPS on it shows me as being in New York. But I'm on the other side over in London!

Has anyone else used stripe widget? If so what am I doing wrong?

Most iWidgets that do weather are not sophisticated enough to access and use the GPS of the phone. Consequently, the majority of them require you to plug in either a WOEID or Yahoo weather code, depending on which weather service the developer has decided to use. The downside to this is that the weather iWidget will only report the weather in the location of the code you use.

There is an app out there that is designed to deliver that code based on GPS for iWidgets. It's called WidgetWeather. The problem with this app is that it's an all or nothing kind of thing. Either it works and location services is on ALL THE TIME. Or it's off and you get nothing passed to your weather widgets. The benefit of this tweak however, is that it will deliver local weather to any iWidget using the GPS switch.

Having location services on all the time impacts battery.

So, with Stripe I believe, you will need to use iFile to open either the html or CSS code and plug in your local weather code, or use the WidgetWeather to have it deliver GPS data to Stripe.

Hope that explains things.

I changed it to center and the slider is still gone. Do you think it is conflicting with HideMe8? I have the slide to unlock customized

Yeah, it may be that Weatherboard 2 is hiding the slider.

I can't say one way or the other because I already had the slider hidden on mine using LockHTML so I wouldn't have known this was happening if WB 2 does it.

Weatherboard 2 is hiding the slider. I don't have any other tweaks installed that would hide the slider and after installing weatherboard 2 my slider is missing. Must be some sort of bug ...

OK, thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks mate. Stripe has a GPS option within the widget itself. I've activated it but the text on the widget once on the screen says 'New York'. The weather oddly is correct though! Oh well. Not the end of the world. I'll just present I'm in new York.

No problem.

Note, I had the name of the tweak wrong. It's WidgetWeather, not WeatherWidget. I went back and fixed it in my post you quoted.

PS if you turn off location services for your weather, you can use forecast just as before. Im running it on top of weatherboard right now and love it
 
I wonder if the Weatherboard 2 developer would be interested in reviving Lockinfo8? Lockinfo is not going to be updated for iOS 9 or beyond as stated by the developer.
 
Weatherboard seems to be eating through the battery. How can I deactivate the live weather animation over the lock and home screens?

I deleted lockinfo7 because of a bug that never got fixed; whenever I used Find my Phone and the alert popped up, there was no way to dismiss it short of a hard reboot. As I frequently lose my phone around the house, this was a show stopper. Also, I contacted the developer about not being credited with my purchase after an update; he said he'd look into it and I never heard back. Oh well...

Resurection!

Forecast for iOS 9.

And apparently the animations actually work over my wallpaper this time!

PS. If you never bought Forecast, you have to wait until it's out of beta to install.
