As explained in this thread here:
The Jolla weather app stopped working on my Sony Xperia 10 iii. I don’t know quite when this happened (during an upgrade from 5.1.0.x to a later increment, or at some totally unrelated point), but the symptoms were a white screen and nothing else in the app, and no weather in the events view. This problem has been reported by quite a few users on this forum as well now.
On my Xperia 10 v Jolla Weather continued to work just fine.
Starting the weather app from the command line gave quite a few errors, the most consequential of which was that a module/library ‘Sailfish.Weather 1.0’ could not be found.
So, using the excellent File Browser app, I searched everything below root on both devices for any weather related file. Comparing what the search on the 10 iii revealed and what the 10 v revealed, both were identical except for files in
/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Weather
The 10 v had 26 files in the directory, but the 10 iii only had 23.
The files missing from the 10iii were:
- WeatherIndicator.qml
- WeatherBanner.qml
- qmldir
Looking at the raw data inside qmldir revealed that this file contains the missing Sailfish.Weather library/module.
By copying the missing files from the 10 v to the 10 iii in the same directory, and then checking that the owner (root), group (root) and permissions (r w - r - - r - -) were right I then started the Jolla Weather app.
It worked perfectly - no more white screen. Restarting the Home Screen (settings/utilities) also gave me back weather in the events view as well. Happy days.
I have no idea why these three files were (went) missing on the 10iii, but this may help others with the white screen problem.
Maybe @Jolla could look into this.
