Many OnePlus smartphone and smartwatch users are experiencing issues with the native weather application, which is displaying outdated or no weather data. Reports indicate that this problem affects a range of devices, including the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 13. Some users in Europe and India have noted that their weather app is still functioning, suggesting the issue may be device or region-specific. The problems may be linked to Oxygen OS 16, but users on older versions (Oxygen OS 15 and 14) are also facing similar issues. Additionally, OnePlus Watch 3 users are encountering errors like "location not found" and "network error." Despite attempts to resolve the issues through various troubleshooting methods, users have had no success. The built-in weather app is critical for many users, and the ongoing issues are likely to prompt a software update or server fix from OnePlus.

Android powers nearly 70% of the world's smartphones but lacks proper support for many essential web services and applications. A Google Finance app could provide real-time stock alerts and personalized widgets. CamelCamelCamel would improve price tracking for Amazon by allowing users to access price history directly through an app. Have I Been Pwned could enhance user security with push notifications for data breaches. Google Travel needs a unified app for trip planning and real-time notifications. AeroLOPA could offer detailed seat maps and offline access for travelers. Native applications on Android would provide essential features like push alerts and offline reliability, addressing the current gaps in user experience.

Google and Epic Games reached a settlement regarding the lawsuit Epic initiated in 2020, challenging Google's dominance in Android app distribution. The settlement includes changes in the upcoming Android 17 release, such as introducing "Registered App Stores," which are certified third-party app stores that users can install easily. The installation process will be simplified with a "single store install screen" and reduced user intervention for app installations. Google will also allow developers to use alternative payment options for in-app transactions, moving away from the exclusive use of Google Play Billing. Service fees on alternative payment methods may range from up to 20% to 9%. Google has committed to not discouraging OEMs or developers from collaborating with third-party app stores and will not restrict their pre-installation or home screen placement for three years following the agreement.
