weather is wrong... - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

anybody else weather on ty tn 2 home page is way off.

Yes it is exactly the same for me. The entire screen is disabled.

Hmm what do you mean with that?

if you mean off as in the temp is not the same as the temp in you area then its your settings. it took me a while to figure it out. when you click your city there is an option to change to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

weather is right now..

wow..thanks, ima hvac mechanic and i couldn't figure that out.i feel stupid..

I have no city in the city list, the entire screen is disabled. I cannot pick up a city, nothing. My device is an official unit bought in UK, no modifications whatsoever.

Absulutely No cities at all in my list. I can install one of the cabs from the forums to overcome the original file but was wondering why is it like that. The options is also not responding. I also tried to import the XML file from my Hermes but my list is still empty. Ideas are welcome.

the xml file is a ROM file so if you are trying to overwrite the original file you have to use something like Resco Explorer or it won;t overwite the ROM just using the native file explorer - try that. I have weather working nicely for Hurricane , WV --- and you can rest assured that wasn't on the original list (but worked well after I modified the xml file and installed the 6tab modified plugin)

My weather is wrong but I'm sure I know why. I'm in Springfield Missouri and its pulling data for Springfield Illinois. Its strange that it isn't able to pull up a bigger city list that includes states. Weather Panel is an old and now free app that has no trouble finding my little [email protected] town.

That's because WeatherPanel is an 'active' application, meaning you put in a Zip code and it goes and finds the data. The HTCWeather is not active meaning it only knows about the cities in the .XML file loaded to your device. Over on the Wizard forum there are several discussions on the subject. My Wizard for example only has the cities I care about the entire file is only 5K, vs the stock 300K one.
Hope that helps..

Wow small world. I too and in Springfield MO.
The weather is actually very easy to fix, all you need is a registry editor.
First choose "Springfield, US" from the city list. Now open up \\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
Change the value of "LocationCode". It will be NAM|US|IL|SPRINGFIELD.
Change it to NAM|US|MO|SPRINGFIELD. That simple. Change IL to MO and redownload your weather data.
I also changed the "Location" value from "Springfield, US" to Springfield, MO just because i liked it better. hehe.

How can i change the weather to my city and not a major city??
you have got to start using the search feature lol
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
yea i had that installed on my phone before i even posted this thread. I went to weather tab, and chose custom on the dropdown. Clicked Enter New City.
City, State: Marlboro, NJ
Country: US
Zip/Location code: 07746
And clocked save city to custom database. Went to the home screen and Marlboro comes up (at least it appears) on the weather tab but cannot get the temperatures. Whats a location code?

I'm curious as well...
Just flashed Shap's 4.31 rom and entering my city using the Advanced Config app doesn't work. If I select from a city on the list...no problem.
Using HHC 0.8 or 1.0 doesn't work for me either.
I'm in Asheville, NC 28806.

I thought I pop in too. My weather tab just doesn't seem to work no matter what city I choose, I've just got a big blank space where the weather should be and am going mad trying to find out what to do.
guess we'll just have to use accuweather.com
where do you get the location codes from?
well I answered my own question and found the location code. Still doesnt work though. I did the soft reset, but it still won't find the weather for my city. Any ideas?
Here is how I did it, worked on my first try.
(These instructions are United States specific)
Browse to: http://weather.yahoo.com/
And enter the city name or zip code that you wish to view the weather for.
Note the location code in the URL that you are directed to, for example:
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USKY0919.html
Install the HTC Home Customizer to your device. It will be found under:
Start\Programs\HTC Home Customizer
Navigate to the "Weather" tab and do this:
change "Database Type:" to "Custom"
click "Enter New City"
enter "City, ST"
enter "US" for the United States
enter "USKY0919" in "Location Code", change this value to match your location
click "Save City to Custom Database"
Reboot
Followed those steps exactly, still get Unable to retrieve data for selected city, Select here to retry. For what it's worth, I tried a major city, like Orlando and got the same results. Is there some setting that I have misconfigured that would prevent this?

Simple weather app (not for today screen) - like the iPhone?

Hey everyone,
I'm sick of trying to get the HTC Home weather thing to work. I've tried replacing DLL's, editing XML files, and installing a couple different versions. None seem to work so I'm moving away from this weather app.
I'm looking for a standalone app that will show me local weather along with a 5 or 7 day forecast. It would also be nice if I could store other city's to it as well so I can see the weather at different places.
I don't want a today screen plugin. I just want to be able to open this application, view the weather, and close it.
Anyone have a good program for that? Free or paid I don't care... I'm just looking for the best & most stable.
It isn't just a weather app, however SPB traveller when opened shows the cities you have specified with their weather, high and low temps for 4/5 days depending on the view you select.
It will show you their time and conversions to your local money.
It is likely to be a bit bloated for what you require, however it works exceptionally well and I haven't had any issues with it.

"Weather Watcher" is exactly what you are looking for. It will do multiple cities, current conditions, hourly, extended forecast, weather alerts, and a zoom-able radar of the city you have selected. You can set it to automatically update or update it manually. Best part is that it is free. You can get it here.

Thank you for the program. Seems to work pretty well. I had to make Opera NOT by default browser through... otherwise it wouldn't work. It basically loads IE into the program and you view webpages.
But... very cool. Thanks again

I liked Weather Watcher too, but it won't open HTML pages since Opera was my default.
I uninstalled Opera and it still wouldn't work. Did you have to change any settings?

try weather panel. in case you have the SP BMobile hsell, you can insert the program as one of the tabs. I love it. It's the best, and I've tried them all.
I use PocketWeather, very detailed.

Hi there,
Where did you get Weatherpanel free, all the version I got asked for registration key and even if I put it in it still asked me for it again, like I never entered it. I'm using Pocket Weather now and its pretty good.(Not free though)
You can try this one. It's free and loaded to the gills w/ info. Including hourly.

HTC weather issue

I just installed HTC home plug in but my city Niceville, Fl is not on the weather list. Some people said I cannot add the city. Is this true? And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
Thanks guys
And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
• Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9
• Divide the answer by 5
• Add 32 to the answer.

I don't remember the syntax. I had to do the same thing. There is a way to list areas by zipcode in the XML file.
You can change your city by adding a program called Home Screen Customizer. It is free and works really well. But let me tell you. You are going to have further problems when you do that. I spent a week going around and around with P1tater, the only one here who Understands how to fix the weather "server" problem you will soon encounter. When you get the "unable to download content...." message, it is time to change your .dll file. Find the replacement .dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1877192&postcount=2153
I never could figure out how to create it myself. This is where you go to supposedly figure it out:

Who developes the weather program for the HTC tytn ii and why cant we contact them and have them add our city for a small fee?
I've been using Weather Watcher by Singers Creations for year on my PC, and remembering that their software is free, I just stopped by to see if there is a mobile version -- there are two! One for PDA and one for smartphone.
http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutWeatherWatcherMobile.asp
FWIW, I've installed "Weather Watcher Mobile Pocket PC v1.0.8" for my HTC Tilt and it works well. I would prefer a smaller footprint, though.
All the info is in the many existing threads on this topic.
Best to look at those before adding another thread.. helps to keep all the Q&A's on a topic in the one place, which in turn makes it easier for people to find the answer to their questions...
My apologies. There's so much here way above my head that this is where I found myself after my head stopped spinning. Sorry again, folks. Will do better.

Weather on the Fuze

Maybe it's because I live in New England, where weather is all important, but I find the Weather tab on the Fuze to be totally lame. I'm used to running WeatherPanel on my Tilt. I'm looking for instant access to detailed current conditions, forecasts, temps, charts, and radar and satellite images that I can put in motion. All of which I had direct access to on my Today screen via WeatherPanel, which would update in the background. On the Fuze, I get a static picture and temp (which doesn't seem to update on its own), and a link to an AccuWeather web site that never loads any info for my location.
I've searched all over; is there any better weather functionality to be used with the Weather tab in TF3D? To I have to trash TF3D and go back to a Today screen to get better weather info?
Pocket Weather is probably the most advanced available. I live in New England as well and it is pretty good.

Will Pocket Weather work on the Fuze as a substitute under the Weather tab in TF3D? Or as an added tab? I looked at it and I came away with the impression its a Today screen plug-in, like WeatherPanel, and would not interface with TF3D on the Fuze.

I too, abandoned TouchFlo and went back to my SPB Plus and Shell, and SPB weather. It was cute having a windshield wiper in the rain, but I'd rather have function over being nice to look at. Hence, no iPhone.
So, I've been using SPB weather, doesn't do maps, but does do fairly accurate forecasting. And since I travel a lot it keeps many cities a few clicks away.
James
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the page update automatically if you leave "data connect" on all the time? Mine seamed to always be updated whenever I looked at the tab with this setup.

That's what I was afraid of, there is no way to improve the functionality of the Weather tab. Which then leaves me facing the decision:if I'm not going to use TF3D to go back to Today screen with WeatherPanel plug-in, then will I return by Fuze and go back to my Tilt?
I don't know what you're talking about, i have my device set to update automatically and my weather updates regularly. You can make it update manually as well. SPB only shows the highs/lows for the day doesn't it?

SPB Weather
For the most part SPB does show hi's and low's and some detail on today and tomorrow, but no maps or anything like that, which is all I need when I am mobile. If I need a meterological lesson, I'll pop on the weather channel.
I just wish there was a way to access the "app" for the weather screen in the touch flo, b/c the weather feature was some nice eye candy. And your right most of the weather apps, built-in or 3rd party can update automatically.

www.weather.com saves a cookie so you get all that super crazy info as soon as the page loads up. Just a though.
I've got a persistent data connetion too, and usually as soon as i switch to one of the cities in the tf3d weather, it updates right then.
My issue is the cities, or lack of some. I'm in new brunswick, canada, and "fredericton, nb" is not listed, but 'moncton, nb' and 'saint john, nb' are. I saw a couple posts about adding new cities using some sql apps & db inserts - is that how this one is updated? the last weather app i used , had an xml file I could update with codes from accuweather.com.
has anyone updated their listed cities? if so, how involved was it?

Weather and CFNET 3.5

Install .Net Configuration. See attached cab below.
Once installed, go to the 'Device Policy' tab and select version 3.5. Select 'Apply' then 'OK'.
also you can use 2nd today you dont have to abandon tf3d entirely

Are you running a custom ROM? How about custom theme? I've noticed that 1.2 sometimes has conflicts with these. Try 1.1 Modified instead.

it only update if you have wifi or data connection. It doesn't save any cache. I hate Manila Weather for this reason. It doesn't download a few hr in advance....

Don't have any custom rom. It is the stock ATT rom. I will try 1.1 and let you know.

Can the HTCWeatherMasterInstaller.CAB be used with out being cooked into the ROM?

Hey everyone, I kept getting frustrated that Weather Editor would often just refuse to add my cities so I wrote a new one and I'm looking for people to help me test it, especially Chefs. Check out HTC Weather Master.
Download HTCWeatherMasterForChefs.zip
Integrate it in to your ROM (I tend to put it in ExtendedPkg)
Edit a Config.txt and add: "EXEC \WINDOWS\HTCWeatherMaster.exe -cooked"

This looks amazing! I will test this out for my new ROM due tomorrow. BTW, you missed a ":" in the EXEC line in your list. It should be "EXEC:\WINDOWS\HTCWeatherMaster.exe -cooked"

Yes it can be. The CAB is for post flashing, and the zip file is for us chefs.

Yep, fixed it. Thanks for the catch.
Great Program
Nice job on this program. Definitely prefer this over WeatherDatabaseEditor. I will continue to play around with it and will report any problems.
Very nice work... I have some potential suggestions from the users side for the final product...
It installs to "Tools" which was confusing for a second for me, but might be more confusing for others.
Defaultly starts up at NC, is this because thats where you are?
The Set button is cool, but I didnt know it'd wipe out my other saved cities, maybe a warning?
Again, great work... a big improvement over WeatherDB Editor which was also great!

This is great, you should add AppToDate support, 12
Am I understanding this right that I can install the cab to my Fuze and will then be able to add cities to my Weather tab that I am unable to add with the default weather settings? Is this correct? If it doesn't work for me, can I uninstall and it revert to the original weather program/settings?

Yes you can install the cab file on your Fuze. It adds cities to the weather database. You still have to go to the Weather Tab and add the location you created using Weather Master.
Excellent! Thanks for the program! I'm going to give it a try.
Okay, so I installed the cab. Installed fine. Went to Tools and ran the config program. I added my city (Batesville, AR) and it added it to the list.
However, when I go to the Weather tab, it shows my city name as Batesville, AR but it sits there...and then after several seconds will give me a connection error. I switched back to the other city I was using originally (Little Rock, AR) and it updated the weather almost immediately.
Any ideas? Is it not pointing to the right location to d/l the weather for added cities? Or did I do something wrong?

Yea, I'll reset the cab to install to the root instead of tools. Hopefully most Chefs will cook it in and then they can place the link where ever they want.

That's a good point. I'll add a warning if you are about to overwrite current weather.

Try this. Go to Start/Setting/Today/Items and uncheck TouchFlo3D. Using Total Commander go to Application Data\HTC\databases and delete forecast_cache.db. Go back and check TouchFlo3D. Add your city and see if it will update.

I just tried it here and was able to add Batesville AR. Try removing the entry you added and readd it. If that doesn't work, send me you 2330fc3c_manila file from your windows directory so I can see what's up.

I wonder if I should delete the cache whenever you set the weather.

It might be a good idea to do that. After doing some reading in other threads, deleting the forecast_cache.db seems to be the solution for users having problems getting cities to update after adding them. I don't think it would hurt anything by doing it and might be a proactive way in solving issues before they pop up.
I deleted the cache, as suggested, and still nothing.
Maybe you should briefly run through the steps I should've followed to add my city? It doesn't make sense (to me) that the default cities will update but the added ones will not...I'm wondering if I missed a step somewhere. Thx.
Sqlite table error
I loaded the cab to my device ATT Tilt
When I run the program it responds with
SQLite error: no such table cities
Any suggestions ?
Is the tilt running touch flo 3D?

Load Weather Master
Select the US tab
Select your state (AR)
Enter "batesville" for the city.
Press SET
If that doesn't work, send me your db file (2330fc3c_manila).
