This is strange.
Try to reboot your device.

Vlad.

Unfortunately the point is that i use MeeCast for 2 months =) Rebooted several times. Ok, i'll try completely remove MeeCast+icon and install it again, maybe that helps.

Glad to hear it is not a known bug. Then the solution should be simple&silly.

Sad, but uninstall, reboot, install meecast, install icon, reboot, change settings for update, reboot, open meecast, wait, wait, wait again does not help.

Can i find log somewhere?
How does it update weather? Any cron job or smth?

Can i manually invoke update with that applet? Command line, other manipulations?

One question before answer. Do you have active Internet connection when you want automatically updating of weather forecast? MeeCast can't initiate Internet connection yet.

Vlad,

Hi Vlad,

thanks for the great update!

I have only one problem with the new version (0.7.9),
The sunset and sunrise times are wrong for me (only weather.com) - Germany, France...

So in the long-term view there are always the night-icons...

Anyone else?

Best regards

Seems like that was problem in weather.com source. Now it works fine for me.

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for the recent update!

Just something I've noticed - for some reason using the bom.gov.au source, the only location available in Western Australia is Broome! I was hoping to see Perth in the list, I think it might be a bug.

Vlad,

I hope so. I have every-hour feed update. I often use browser or maps. Background connections enabled.

Last test scenario: while in public transport i was actively surfing internet for the whole hour and "3.5" symbol in the status bar was constant blue. Nevertheless MeeCast icon at the feeds screen showed "NO DATA", until i manually updated the weather. Update interval is 15 minutes. Version is 0.7.6.

If MeeCast can't initiate connection, what is logic for an auto update? For example, i have 15 minutes interval. Say, MeeCast will try to update at 12:00, 12:15, 12:30 and so on. If connection would be down at 12:15 though it would be up at 12:14 and 12:16, does weather update fail? Lets say i am so unlucky that all 24 hours/7 days MeeCast can't exactly spot connection times, weather will stay outdated, isn't it?

So, please tell me about manual invoking to be sure that update will be started while connection is up and in use.

Is it possibile to implement swipe gesture to go back-forth the location?
The arrows above aren't easy to touch.

in any case it's an amazing app! ;)
