Date not updating, sunrise and sunset times not displaying, other info not loading

Could you please attach the contents of /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/scope-registry.log? That may present a clue as to some of the issues that you're seeing.

Thanks!

Dear Chris,

Here is the logfile.

Hi Kavoura,

Can you please check the Today scope settings and ensure "Enable location data" is turned on?

If this is turned off, sunrise and sunset times display as "No information".

With "Enable location data" turned on, it does not always give sunrise and sunset times, unless I disable it first, and then re-enable it, then the times appear again.
It would be better if the data could be downloaded for a set location of my choosing, in advance, so that whether location data is enabled or not, and whether the phone is online or not, the data will still be displayed.

Hi Kavoura,

Thanks for taking the time to check that! I cannot reproduce your comment #4. When I have location data disabled, and then enable it, I refresh the scope and now sunrise and sunset times seem to always show for me. Please make more comments here if you continue to not see sunrise & sunset times after enabling location data and refreshing the scope.

Interesting idea of saving the sunrise/sunset times. The main point of this information is to show the user the sunset and sunrise times today, in their current location, whatever it happens to be. While we could theoretically get all such times for, say, the next 365 days for the current location, we would then run the risk of displaying the wrong times if the user has moved. So yes, we could then check if the user has moved, and if so, get that information and save it too, but now we we need to get and save a year's worth of data every time the user moves. That's starting to get complicated :). So on balance, I think that if the user does not want to use location awareness, they don't get sunset/sunrise times.

After some investigation over the weekend, I *think* this is being caused by the twitter scope crashing in certain situations (for me it was with a slow network). I've fixed the twitter scope to simply fail gracefully rather than crash and potentially take stuff down with it, hopefully that will solve the issue. Have also set ResultTtlType as mentioned in another bug, this should cause the scope to refresh automatically, thereby making sure the date is correct

I've also identified a possible issue in the today scope that I will push a fix for.

Bzr revision 6 implements the fix mentioned in comment 7.

It also implements a change that should cause results to auto-refresh on the order of minutes (not hours) so you should only see yesterday's date if you check soonn after midnight (the exact amount of time before the refresh is not determinant).

When will there be an update that can be downloaded and installed? Regardless of location data on or off, I still mostly get no sunrise/sunset times, even after rebooting, although about 1% of the time it does work.

This will be part of the next OTA update, which is scheduled I believe for some time next week

I've got almost the same problem. In my case no informations are displayed until rebooting the device.

Normally it should show the informations you can see on my attached screenshots (including enabled location data).

Second screenshot - I couldn't attach both at once.
