Contact weather app developer and report bug to him so they can fix that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] How to disable any android application.
There are two user-level (i.e. present in regular Android UI) options
for this:
- Settings - Accounts sync: disable Background data. This sets an
option that applications are supposed to check before doing background
data synching. If the weather app doesn't check this setting, report it
to the developer as a bug, as { Devdroid } suggested.
The API for this is:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.html#getBackgroundDataSetting()
- Settings - Wireless networks - Mobile networks: disable Data
roaming. This disables all data connections when the phone is roaming.
There are supposedly some issues with this setting, though:
