I am having trouble using the weather in HTC Home. My internet explorer and other applications works fine with wi-fi and 3G. But the weather in the HTC always says unable to retrieve. Is the web server which the HTC Home connects to is down or something? Can someone help me. I tried reinstalling HTC Home. I am using the original ROM comes with the Tilt.
A server must be down as my weather quit loading a couple of days ago. Have not been able to figure out what is wrong.
The only time I have had problems was when going through a proxy server. Other than that it has always picked up the weather, right now for instance.
I've been having the same problem. The issue started a few days ago and I've been unable to get weather updates. I had no problems with it before the other day. I have the Tilt with the HTC Home Plugin and the Home Customizer and have tried using both the default database and the custom database.
Any ideas?
Mine hasnt been able to update in te past couple days either. Internet connectivity is fine tho.
Mine stopped working this past weekend also. It must be a server deal. Does anyone know what site it gets the updates from?
Mine works fine in Milwaukee, ATT stock tilt with HTC Home plugin.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347621
you need to download the latest patched htc home cabs from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
the old method of using an altered host entry for accuweather no longer works, and all versions of the htc home used this method to pull data. the app has been patched and there are new instructions to get your weather working again.
I has the same issue until I followed the instructions in the thread I just mentioned.
Do you think it may be the HTC Home Customizer app and the method that it uses to get around the original restrictions of the HTC Home? If so, then I myself would appreciate an update to the Home Customizer App, cuz thats really the easiest way to get the Weather working in cities and rural areas not listed in the original weather app.

I already know about another device with the same problem. The city list is empty and options are disabled. My device is a production unit bought in UK.
Anyone got this working? anyone can sugget how to fix?
Giving this a big kick 'cause I'm having the same problem. No options show up when setting up the weather, and Select and the Menu-options won't work either.
I'm connected to the internet via Wi-Fi by the way.

Please... anyone?
I switched carrier today and I tried again with a 3G-connection but still no luck. Same problem still stands.
Have u guys tried installing a newer version of HTC HOME?
font problems
Ronen, you being Israeli, i suppose you have hebrew installed.
Disable it, soft reset, and set the weather location. then enable the hebrew again.
Worked for me. Mine is set to Netanya now.
Not working for me either. I tried using HHC 0.8b and 1.0 with no luck on several cities in my area. Running version of HTC home in Schaps 4.3 rom.
I remember you used to have to edit the weather database with notepad to add your city then copy back to ppc. Doesn't work either. I disabled the weather tab and am using xcast.
Try going to http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
I also had to manipulate my connection settings - but that only applies to media net in the USA - I had to disable the proxy and in my Work connection, tell it to connect to the internet
GuyGush- you are a genious!!!
Disabled the additional language and was able to choose NYC for my city!
Thanks

Never mind it works what happend was that ive dutch langauge so the flo touch config was set on program files (programma bestanden in dutch) change it works perfect
HTC Home Weather and Quickdial
I solved problem with my German MDA Vario II:
With HHC software I changed the default language of HTC Home. After that everything started to function! It was so easy, byt I looked everywhere for days without finding this anywhere.
Hope it will solve the problem with all other HTC users.
Find this software: HHCv10Final.CAB

I've been running Ultimatelaunch for about a month (unregistered) with no stability issues.
Try searching here. They have answered a lot of questions. If you don't find it then post. They are pretty good about getting you an answer.
no issue for me I use it with SPB mobile shell , pocket plus, pocket weather, rltoday
Do not put today plugins inside UL and on the today screen at the same time .... that causes me problems

Yeah, make sure all today plugins that you want INSIDE the Ultimate Launch are UNCHECKED to be on your Today Screen.

Seems to work with one exception.
If I go to Mail, open the keyboard (Rotate Screen) then go to the today screen and close the keyboard, INSTANT LOCKUP. If I stay in mail, and go back to the closed position, I am fine.... Otherwise seems to be working.
i have been having problems too... since i installed UL my user interface has been extremely lagging. and i have tried all kinds of ways to get it working perfectly like how everyone says it works.
a lot of people says it works perfectly with out anything, but wheni have it installed it laggs up unbelievably...
i even have to put a back up until the latest time in order to get everything working.

Never install Today Plugins to your Storage Card, that can cause problems!
Hi there guys,
been searching if anybody had the following problem, then i stumbled on this thread, where somebody might be able to help me.
I had a qtek 9100 before with ultimatelaunch, with today plugins in ultimatelaunch. This worked perfectly, nothing wrong.
Recently, i purchased a Kaiser (to be precise, a T-mobile MDA Vario 3), on which i tried to run Ultimatelaunch. Everything works fine, except after i launched an application & go back to the today screen. When i run tomtom for example, and i go back to the today screen, the ultimatelaunch part is not automatically refreshed. If i just press in the area once, its redrawn. Does anybody have the same issue, or even better, a suggestion on how to solve it?
thnx in advance,
greetings hawkeye
out of curiosity what did you guys put in your UL, app wise?
My system backs up nightly and I soft reset after every backup. I believe this eliminates many issues with my system.

Problem is that HHC check if HTC Home Plugin is enabled at startup.
Because it thinks it's not, it starts HHC. After making changes, it will try to copy changed file's to HTC Home directory. Because HTC Home is loaded into Ultimate Launch that will fail, and make Ultimate Launch crash!
Best for you to do is, disable Ultimate Launch on your today screen, start HHC and make changes to plugin, then after applying re-enable Ultimate Launch. (Uncheck HTC Home, it's auto enabled trough HHC.)
That should work for you.

When I was testing HTC Home with UL, that's the same thing I did.
Hi all,
I have an o2 xda mini-s and yesterday saw a mate who has one which was running HTC Home and looked really smart.
I have spent the morning reading the forum and other articles but although I have downloaded the HTC Home configeration programme and can set that I dont have the HTC Home option on the Program - settings - today - item page.
I am using wm5 if that helps everything i downloaded went to the device and default location was that the right thing to do?
If anyone can help me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
There are two files you need to download and install if you want to have HTC Home - and customize the home view.
There is the HTC Home, and the HTC Customizer cabs - did you install both ??
Hi Bill,
So far I have downloaded hhcv10final.cab and also htchome6.cab are their any other files i need?
Paul
I think the problem may be the WM6 file you downloaded
I've posted a link to the site where the version for WM5 can be downloaded. I've had no issues running this version
The only other thing I can think of is did you soft reset after installation ??
Here's the link - give the 1.5 version for wm5 a shot
Good luck

Brilliant - thanks that has worked amazing what happens when you download the right file

A follow up question regarding weather
Right all working fine and i really like HTC Home only query i have is the weather application doesn't find any locationss, not UK ones, (where I am, USA ones or anywhere else in the world even though I have the list of places avaliable to select from.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to download something else?
Thanks aagain.

Is it me, or is the custom database function of HHC for weather not working on the tilt with wm 6.1? It worked great on 6.0, but after installing 6.1 and running hhc and re-building my cities none will work when I select the custom database.(the default database cities work)
Thanks.
Just you

It's working great on my tilt, I think it's just you, where did you get your rom at?
It is not working for me either. I had used htchome-2.1-hermes-n2a on my 6.0 Tilt and it worked great. From what I can tell, the n2a is a service provided by a forum member for using custom cities. I have tried his process for patching the htc_home.dll on the 6.1 Tilt, but it did not work. My Tilt froze on reset and I had to do a hard reset.
Has anyone been successful at using all functions of HHC with the AT&T 6.1 Tilt rom?
look for HTC Home plug in. Save it to computer, drag it to your tilt.
Move it your windows file. Run HHC to put in your custom city.
Not working here either
It's not working here either. My cities show up but it won't download the weather for any of them. Luckily I have the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file and can at least add my city again.

The HTC home plugin workaround is linked in my signature.
Im using the ATT Rom. I would use the link in your Sig if your sig was there
the poster above was correct, the n2a version of HTC Home is a modified version that allows you to pull weather from a different source then HTC.
It's kind of crappy for AT&T to put a plugin that only works with certain cities and is not customizable by the user. I edited the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to add my own city, even that won't work.
Note to AT&T... call HTC and have them add more cities to their db!
EDIT: And talk about slowing down a device... wow! I haven't used the HTC HOme plugin for a while and now I remember why I hated it. When it's updating weather, it's slow as hell....
I used the method toward the bottom of the first post from the fallowing thread to get it to work:

Good luck...
It's been a few months since I have been to this forum and it looks like there are lots of cool new programs and a new device (the diamond) that has provided some new cabs. I had gotten a lot of great cabs and tips here from last September through Spring but have not really added much to my phone since then. I had Ultimate Launcher with HTC Home as one of the cube faces and I really loved it. Anyway, I recently ruined my Tilt and had it replaced but the new Tilt has windows mobile 6.1 in place of 6.0 and not all of my old cabs/programs work anymore. I'm excited to see what else is out there for 6.1, but in the meantime, I noticed that the stock tilt comes with a version of HTC Home that has 4 of the 5 tabs (it's missing the music tab). I tried to use HTC home customizer but I can't. I can't seem to load a new version of HTC home over it either. I could not find the HTC Home program in the list of removable programs.
Maybe it's time for me to take the leap and move to a flashed ROM but every time I read through the instructions I get a little nervous and decide to wait until I feel like I really know what I am doing.
Anyway, I'd like to remove this stock version of HTC Home and load up a new version of HTC Home and start adding some cool cabs that work with WM6.1 but I can't find any threads addressing this HTC Home issue. Does anyone have any advice?
I too am interested in this if it is possible.
I dont have a working pc at home right now so flashing is not really an option for me.
What version of HTC home are you trying to install. I think there are a few out there. Also what error or msg are you getting when trying to install the faulty htc home plugin?
I successfully installed the new HTC home over the stock one on my AT&T stock ROM 6.1 and nothing broke. it pretty much overwrites the previous one so you don't have any duplicate entries in the remove programs or anything.
i tried to install HTC Home - Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch (UPX compressed). i just realized my mistake was not deselcting it from the home screen before installing the cab. i feel like a jackass. thanks to the people who offered help. by the way is there a newer, better version of HTC home to install?
