There are many of us who consult our mobile phones often to know the time of day, something that we can do very easily on Android with the weather and weather widgets . However, on many occasions and especially when changing mobile we can find errors in the location and we will be consulting the time of another location different from ours.
So that this does not continue to happen to you, we are going to try to fix this annoying failure so that you can see the time with the correct location on your mobile and you do not have to resort to other alternatives. The problems are mostly generalized and the steps that we must follow do not vary too much between the customization layers, but we will still give you the details to take into account if something is different.
Why the weather widget location fails
There are many reasons that can lead us to this situation and among them we find the permissions and accesses of the app. Especially when brand new mobile, we will have to click on the widget to take us to the app in question and we can give it access to the location. This step, which should be something automatic and easy to do, allows us to always have the weather of our location in the widget.
But this can get complicated and lead to problems with the weather widget on the mobile if we do not do it from the first moment. It will not ask us again to access the location and we will have to do it manually if we do not want to live with this failure forever.
- To solve it we will have to enter Settings.
- Later go to the applications.
- Find “Weather” or “Climate” and select it.
- Then we will have to enter the Permissions section.
- And for fixing it we always grant Location permission.
Location problems on Xiaomi and Huawei
The layers of personalization MIUI from Xiaomi and EMUI from Huawei are also usually part of the problem, since they have a very different system than the rest of Android phones. In them the problems can come from the option that we have seen previously although they can also go further and we will help you solve it.
In Huawei the battery is to blame
Huawei’s energy saving system tries to limit consumption as much as possible and this sometimes leads it to limit the use of location by certain apps or location updates. If we are people who travel often, this can lead us to find that the information in the weather widget is wrong .
To solve it we just have to enter Settings> Battery> Start applications and look for the system time app. Then we touch on it to manually manage its use and activate all the options so that whenever necessary it can work.
The most common problem in Xiaomi
In this case the origin is not in the battery and that chaos would only occur if the battery saver is activated. Here the restrictions are on mobile data, where the system prevents the app from updating the weather when we are not on WiFi. This can lead us to errors when we travel and normally we do not have WiFi.
To fix we will focus on the MIUI Settings> Applications> Weather> Restrict the use of data and activate it so that the mobile does not leave us without our weather information in the widget.
