HTC Weather

I wonder if any one else if having the same problems as myself with the weather app on the Hero. It also seems to effect the widget on the homescreen as well.
The first place in the list always seems to be the current city which is great if it works. I am forever getting 'No weather data available' although if I add my city manually it gets the five day forcast no problem.
The problem is that now I am in the same city I added manually the 'current city' overwrites the one I added manually and returns the same'No weather data available'.
This bug only seems to effect the area I live in but seems to work as it should in other parts of the country.
Any one else in Reading (UK) having the same issue?
I have tried a hard reset and even played with the settings out of town to see if that would help

I'm in Edinburgh and having the exact same issue, as are several other people in this city. I've heard people in various locations across the country complain about the same thing.
I've not come across a solution yet, I think it will have to be in an update from HTC.

yup, same in Cambridge.

Same here. If I select "Rearrange" I now have multiple entries for Cambridge...

Same here in the uk, the widget and application never seem to match up - finds city on one but not the other. Plus the add your city screen in the setup(s) is very tempromental and sometimes does not let you select or even recognise your existing ones.
Further to that the weather / clock widget responds to quickly to a touch so when you swipe the home screen (if you have the clock / weather clock in primary position) it opens the options dialog instead of moving spaces.
I removed the htc clock and weather widgets because of the above problems. I like the "bling" that they bring to the interface but in real life I can turn my head and look out of the window quicker than I can pick up and press the power button on the handset.

I'm in Edinburgh, same is happening :{
It was working fine in Aberdeen, and when I came to Edinburgh it detected that and showed weather ok.. until I rebooted...

I'm in Darlington, and am having the same problem which is really begining to annoy me.

Has anyone actually complained to HTC about this bug? It seems to affect the HD2 too.

I gave up with HTC weather widgit and use Snowstorm weather widget available from the market, gets the weather where ever I am in the UK all the time.

Hi I am from Macedonia and I have the same problem...
The widget on the home screen displays other city when I chose current location... And I love this widget... I am in pain!!!
So far no solution...
I have MDA Mail too... And back then my city was not on the list...
So I did search around in the windows directory and found a txt file
containing the list... Soon enough i found that the codes listed are
the same as the ones used on Accuweather.
So i edited the file and than I was able to select my city...
But the app said that it was unable to get the condition
for my city.
So i give up...
I think that maybe the problem does not lies in the widget it self.

I had the same problem. Just delete the widget and add it again. Go to Add to Home (+) button -> HTC Widget -> Clock.... And just choose the one you want with the weather app. It worked for me

same here
I currently have the Eris.... vzw's hero... and same issue im in the usa it always displays weather when im home or out but when im home it shows me weather for a town 45 miles from my house, i came to this phone from HTC Imagio(whitestone) and Touch Pro 2(rhodium) and same issues on those phones seems to be an HTC bug and not carrier specific.

PS.. have deleted and reinstalled works fine till first update.... i ahev tried both cell location and gps, cell location only, and gps only..

remove the clock widget and re-add it and then when it asks you to set your location dont use the gps fix (my current location), just pick your city from the list or search for it.
Its not a fix but assuming you stay in one place it at least means the weather report shown will work

Hello. Had the same problem with 'No weather data available' in the HTC weather. I have freshly flashed the EnergyROM_21889_BLACKSTONE_20.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila to my HTC HD. It would not refresh via GSM HSDPA Internet connecion, but when I switched to WiFi network Internet, it worked! Then switched back to 3G Internet and still works as it should. As if HTC weather referred to wrong connection at the very startup. Hope this will help some of you.

Go to Weather Tab>Menu>Enable My Location
If you're lucky it will show the weather of your current location and otherwise it won't.
Sorry for my bad english,
I'm from the Netherlands, actually Indonesia, but who cares,
Goodbye!

this worked. I switched to Wifi and clicked update and it downloaded the data. I then turned Wifi off and now it still updates.

I've got exactly the same problem as the guy in the first post on my HTC Desire. I also live in Reading and the weather doesn't work using current location, but works fine when I have added Reading manually. It's really annoying because I'd prefer the widget to use my current location rather than always Reading.

had the same problem, on polaris. solved.
as someone here said, i let it connect via wi-fi and since then all ok.
very odd...
but hey, it works!
cheers

"Sprint Experience" Apps.....take 2

Not sure why my original thread was taken down but if it was because of "warez" it's crap. Go take down every other rom (including the sprint hero dump) that's "illegally" distributing apps and EVERY single windows mobile rom.
heres the goods:
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4746727&postcount=110
Btw if any mod feels the need to pull this thread again please pm a reason to why it was pulled.
DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR THESE APPS
search around for them!!!

i believe it WAS taken down because you've kept the original provider in the app names. i'm not a mod or whoever took it down so i dont know but thatd be my best guess. i remember seeing in the previous thread, i could quote someone saying "it's just a matter of time but good job till then!" or something along those lines. good job indeed! and so glad this is back up.
with that said i have an issue with the navigator:
i have it said on full audio, but theres no TURN voices. JUST STREET names. its really accurate on the street names. and the directions are perfect. but is is just me, or is the audio missing turn direction voices????

Hey, can anyone please tell me how to remove some of the apps from here, for example the sprint TV does not work at all and I don't want to see it in my apps how to I remove it?
Also, how do you guys got past the validation thing in the NFL app?

Sprint TV does work...
Its has been my experience (1 whole day) that the sprint tv stops working when you take the widget off the main home page. as long as I keep the widget on the main page, my tv has been working.
try that. might take a reset, erase widget and replace, and another reset, but it worked everytime the tv stopped working. ever since I left the widget on the main home screen it has been working fine.

Tried this a couple times to no avail. keep getting "channel listing is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
edit: saw the other thread on this. moving over there.

for me what i did was simply download, install, put widget on screen, reboot, works. but use the widget to get to the app. meaning click on the widget and it should take you to the tv app. if it still doesnt work, too bad. seems to be working at different times for people, and since tmobile networks sucks sometimes, could be that. idk lol!

so should i download tv widget .apk or tv apk or both ????? just want to do it right the first time...lol

sounds like both since it seems you need the widget.

TV works. Like everyone else said put the widget on your screen. Even after I did that it took a day for the TV to start working so be patient it's worth it.

Ok just installed both apks .. put the widget on my screen so now i just wait ??? the widget did say something about hanna montana..lol but wont load any channels yet ....

To be honest once I got home I forgot all bout it. I just tried it this morning and it worked.

has anyone tried out the navigation app yet? I always get a message saying no gps data found.

I've been able to get the TV, NFL and GPS apps tow work. Just took some patience and rebooting, otherwise works great!
cm 4.0.4

NFL, NASCAR and TV are working great. Has anyone figured out how to get the navigator working? It doesn't seem to work when I am still, but if I am driving it will give me turn by turn very nicely, recalculate routes quickly and everything, but only while driving.
Anyone else having this problem?

Manually set "My Location" HTC Sense 2.1

Hello,
Using sense 2.1 (rom gen.Y D2 R4/5) , "my location" always sets to Quebec, Quebec when I am actually in Montreal, Quebec. Is there any way to manually set it?
Else anyone has firgured out a fix?
Thanks.
::EDIT:: I can add Montreal as a location, it's the 'my location' tab that doesn't recognize that I am in Montreal and not Quebec.

Has this happened on any other ROM's? Also, what radio do you have?

Tried different radios with same result. This occurs on every rom I try with the my location feature.

When you say "my location" feature are you referring to google maps?
If so this may be an issue with the google maps application.
Have you tried various gps apps to see if the other apps give the same results?

Google maps reports my location properly on the map, it is the my location in HTC sense for weather/time that is incorrect. Is google feeding the data to sense?

Ah Ok! That clears that up.
No google maps has nothing to do with htc sense.
Sorry, I don't know much about htc sense. I would think someone has figured out how to edit it manually or has created a fix to point htc sense time/weather to an alternate server to give more accurate data though.

May be the problem is google maps.
Seriously, I have this same problem with my htc sense. If I travel further into London however, it seems to work, but displays the wrong location by about half a mile. But where I live it just doesnt work at all. I've manually set my location because it doesnt work.

Hmm...Is there a selection somewhere that resets/updates your location automatically? Maybe that can be switched off?

Not that I know of. If you disable the my location feature, it will still show up as "My location" but will not update.

My location
Hi
so did anyone work out how to set the my location manually? Some people said they did in this thread but didnt say how?!

Hope this helps someone else....
go to world clock add your city
you have the choice of setting the clock to 'your location ' or the city ; select the city
now go to weather and make sure you have the same city set up.
this now fixed the problem where 'my location' on the home page didnt show the weather.
well it fixed it for me!

How to Set Location Manually on HTC Aria
I've finally figured out how to set my location manually on my HTC Aria. To be specific, I'm talking about the weather/time widget that comes on the middle home screen of all HTC phones. Mine is rooted, so I'm not sure if it's any different than a regular one, since I couldn't find this "set my location" button that everyone is saying is in the widget configuration.
Basically, the steps I took to set my location manually is:
First go to the screen where your clock widget is.
Tap the clock, then go into the second tab, World Clock.
Add your desired city
Go out of this screen by pressing home
Delete the clock widget
Add the widget again by pressing the + key on the bottom right, and then Widget, then scroll down to Clock and tap it.
The widget that you want is the 3rd one
Once you add that widget to the screen, it will ask you to set your location. Your location will be available only if you have it in the World Clock
Set your desired location
Essentially, you are deleting the widget and re-adding it.

Hi - I fixed my HTC weather widget issue by:

Hmm... I have this same issue. But I don't want to root my phone. My city (or better, village) is not in the list of cities of HTC Sense Locations. It is driving me crazy. Could anyone help me with this?
Or... How can I change HTC Sense Locations set my location by GPS and not with mobile towers?

Well, when I'm physically in my small hometown, the phone picks up where I am as "Actual Location", so I assume you are talking about when you are away on a trip? Maybe you can add a farther, bigger city? That's what I had to do.

What I'm thinking is that my village has shown as my location only two or three times. But almost always is HTC showing my location in wrong village (near to my village, but not my..) Do you know what I'm thinking about?
And I can't find my village (Velke Kostolany) in manual finding of HTC location.
Or do you know how to change setting my location by GPS and not by mobile towers?

[Q] SMS problem

hi guy's long time lurker first time poster...
i'm having a problem with all sms sending 'failing' when ever i've got packet data turned on. its not something i've ever come across on any of my previous devices... any nudge in the right direction will be very welcomed.
p.s i'm on t-mobile uk if that make any difference.
Thanks in advance
john

check your APN settings and MMS settings.

They are sharing the same apn, but i've been playing with the setting (all know variations) but still every time i use packet data it will always fail to send any sms's.
It's becoming very annoying to have to manually connect every time i want to use some data.

Hey!
Just ask from you mobile provider, what must be your APN settings. In 2.3.4 you must ALWAYS put the APN settings manually. If you added them, save and pick it. ALL DONE!
CHEERS!

thanks i'll give it ago, was just using the setting they sent me over the air and already in sim card, will input manually when i get home, and let you know.
Thanks again for the help.
Edit: no this didn't work either, now im really peeved(lol). can't for the life of me think what else it could be. would flashing the wrong modem file cause this? as its all i can think that is left to try....

Same issue
I have the same problem, bud.
Updated my Ace to Gingerbread and found I couldn't send SMS with Packet Data turned on. Turn it off and SMS sends OK. I'm with Virgin (UK) which I believe is the same network as T-Mobile.
Re-flashed Froyo and all works as it used to. After that, I fired up Kies as I hoped to get an official version that way and sure enough it said there was a firmware update available so I installed that. Turned out to be the official Samsung Gingerbread and yet again i broke SMS when Packet Data was turned on.
I'm back to Froyo once more and have emailed Virgin to ask if they can offer any advice. I notice another report of this issue on another forum where the guy called Virgin and was apparently told the fault seemed to be with VM.
Sorry this doesn't provide an answer but thought it worth corroborating your symptoms.
Cheers!

Use fla.sh rom instead. Its very stable and fast . Multi csc too.

Big thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one with the problem(thought i was loosing my mind,lol)
actually the phone was a virgin locked phone but was unlock to all networks by them for me... maybe something i can look into.
p.s flashing fla.sh didn't fix it either..

I am having this same issue using stock 2.3.3.
I bought my ace factory unlocked using it on orange. Sometimes sms will send, but majority of time it will fail until I disable packet data.
I tend to email or use gtalk/kik for messages but the odd time I want sms this gets annoying.
Oddly I never had this problem on the 2.3.4 I tried from samsfirmware.

Got the same problem. Using 3, and they just gave me a new SIM-card. Gotta finde some clever way of disabling data every time I open Messaging

yeah im looking for a way of re enabling the option in the extended power menu but with out much luck, all the modded ones seem to leave it out.

Okay, gonna try to explain it.
1. Go to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak
2. Install the attached Mms.apk (It's from CM6)
3. Download AutomateIt from the Android Market (Just the free one)
4. Open it and add a rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should not be marked.
5. Save it and add a new rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is NOT marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should BE marked. Save this one, and you are done!
This will disable Mobile Data every time you open your Texts, and enable it then you exit your texts. The reason you need the CM6 Messaging-app, is that this tricks doesn't work with the original Samsung-app

How to I get 'My location' status to display/update?

I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!
