Anybody else notice that their cell phone is hours behind with the local temperature?


Mine says 64 F now! No way! It's supposed to get up to 90 here today, and is warm now.
I just went outside and no way is it 64 degrees. Maybe it is in Newfoundland or somewhere.

which might update only every few hours. There is no thermometer in your phone.

When you're out in public, you never know when somebody's going to ask you if their meat is done.

but I can manually update any time I want.

But 6 hours seems ridiculously useless. I may look into seeing if i can change the interval.
