1. Tap the Weather widget. It shows the current weather, and the forecast for the next six days.

2. Press the small settings icon on the upper right of the screen.

3. Tap the green + button next to “Add city” to add a new location. From the screen that appears, type the city name, and tap the Search button.

4. To delete a city, tap the hard menu key at the bottom of the Galaxy S II and tap Delete.

Now that your city is set, tap ...
