I actually JUST installed Forecast this morning and began getting this error pretty much immediately.
I'm pretty confident this tweak is causing the issue...
The very first time it happened, I tried to manually update the weather from my lockscreen. I pressed the reload button, and 2 seconds later, I got the error.
As a matter of fact, it seems like my LS constantly shows "Locating" underneath the weather display...
Yeah ive pretty much confirmed that forecast was causing my issue...and yes mine also said locating pretty much constantly...what is wierd though is that when I first installed it i didnt have the issue but it started yesterday...
Interesting - from the package, it looks like it was actually just updated yesterday with "Fixes refresh issues." - and "More refresh fixes.".
At least it sounds like the dev knows that SOMETHING is up with the refresh - and does update the tweak fairly regularly (it looks like there have been 8 updates since December).
I really love the look of this on my LS - hopefully this will get resolved soon.
EDIT - I'm also wondering if the evasion JB has anything to do with it. I read somewhere that as of yesterday, a new JB was released that fixes a few issues. I'm wondering if re-JB'ing my phone might fix this. Although, since this is the only real issue I see, I hesitate to change anything at all (if it ain't broke...).
EDIT v. 2 - As I just opened up Cydia, I was actually greeted with a new update for the evasion JB - says it fixes the long reboot problems. I'll go ahead and give this a shot now...
It appears the culprit is Forecast. If you downloaded that from cydia, I think that is causing the problems. Hopefully a fix we be made soon,.
It's happening to me too. Since it seems to be due to forecast based on this small consensus I clicked to allow, yet forecast still shows locating.
I get it too, but only when I respring. I just clicked to allow. And it definitely started right after I installed Forecast. I don't have the "Locating" problem, but I also can't manually update the weather (nothing happens).
Can anyone else confirm that if you switch location services for weather off it'll fix the issue? and also does it update automatically?
I switched off Location Services for Weather three days ago and haven't seen the pop up since. And yes, it updates automatically.
Thanks for the tip! Like others have mentioned, just make sure to keep your "home" weather (or whatever weather you want to be up to date on) as the first screen in your weather app. Then all works as it should.
Hopefully a patch will come down that will allow location services to be used. But for now - this definitely does the trick.
