It sounds a duplicate of this other bug report Weather Display on Events Screen Constantly Loses Network Connection

Thanks for the report @playforvoices. To reiterate what I put on the other thread, we’ve made some changes to try to help with the weather update, which should make it in to the next release.

If you’re able to test this again after the next release, and feedback your experiences here, that would be very useful.

I had the same problem with the weather widget on xA2+, 4.5.0.19.
Also at the same time problem with the Store, update failed after trying for about a minute and installing apps didn’t work.
Then I tried Settings->Utilities->Package cache->Clear.
After some time these problems were gone.
Now weather widget works also with Wlan and update in the Store succeeded.
