Notices

DIN Time gave up doing weather too. I haven't bothered finding out why, though I believe it uses Yahoo as well.

But you can set it to use a specific location code rather than polling GPS. Might be an option (and might work with other faces too).

Could be that we're using old versions of these apps, and newer versions have an updated geo call. Pebbled doesn't support the app locker, so there's no support for detecting new versions of apps and upgrading them.

Looks like pebbled can't get GPS location - when I put it manually everything works. But for me it started right after latest OS update.

It does - the request to the yahoo geo lookup contains latitude and longitude. The result of that call comes back with an empty location code.

can not confirm!
i have not updated to latest sailfish as of yet but also do not get yahoo weather related info on pebble apps in my classic steel with latest non time classic firmware.

For example, this is what MyStyle is sending to Yahoo:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public...22&format=json

"results":null is the problem. I believe it used to return a location code that could be used to look up the weather info.

Can anyone find any information as to the state of these services? I've turned up nothing yet.

It seems it was the Yahoo service shutting down, and face makers are now finding other solutions.

Warning!

If you haven't updated to firmware 3.9.x, I would hold off doing so for now. Two nights in a row since the update my watch has spontaneously deleted all applications and watchfaces from itself. Obviously that wouldn't matter too much if you were using Android / IOS, because they'd be reloaded as they're used, but on Sailfish it's a problem...

I'll try a factory reset and see if that gets me any further.

[edit - incidentally there also seem to be a few reports of terrible battery life on this version.]

False alarm, sorry about that.

Removing all watch applications / faces from the application, then doing a factory reset and adding a few back, seems to have fixed it, so it could have been a screwy upgrade, or maybe a misbehaving app, but it doesn't look like it's a fundamental problem with the firmware. (too early to say much about battery life though).

Pebble Time users can't upgrade past v3.6 with pebbled, I'm not sure how it detects the latest available FW - does the app require an update each time there's a new FW version?
