HTC Home - Weather Update

How often does everyones weather update, mine goes for days without updating unless I click the update button.....
Cheers

It won't update automatically unless you tell it to....supposedly
You need to tap on the city name at the top of the plugin, then when the city list is displayed, tap on Menu | Weather Options and make sure the "Download weather data automatically" is checked.
That's the theory at least - mine is ticked and like you, I have to tap on the weather panel on the home screen to get the damn thing to update
There is another option - "Download when roaming", but I've not ticked that box....might be worth a try?
Cheers,
Mark.

Download HTC HOME,
Look at disfanto's cab collection for the hermes. All of them pretty much works on the kaiser, and for more on how to put your own city into the weather database use the search button, since im to lazy too.

Thanks all for the help.... didnt even notice the options menu in the city select.......

Today Screen Plugin and Weather - GPS

It dawned on me today....
The Today plugin weather screen... instead of putting your city or state or zip code (whatever) wouldn't it be helpful if the application could use the built in GPS to grab your current location and update the weather for you?
Like, if you drive from City #1 ----> 300 miles ---> City #2, your weather automatically updates based on your GPS location in City #2

That does sound cool....but I don't want to even think about the lag on my Today screen for it to be trying to access GPS.

OPTION:
[] Use GPS
[] Do Not Use GPS
This way, people have options and also you can choose GPS only when you go on journey.

HERO ROM - Flip Clock Question

I'm using the HTC Flip Clock widget and it automatically updates my location. It was working fine last night and now its not. I'm right now in Woodridge, IL and my flip clock still shows Matteson, IL weather. I know it's not that big of a difference in weather based on 30-35 miles, but I just want it to sync to the correct location. Under "My Location sources", I have use wireless networks and enable gps satellites selected. If this was a pre-existing hero rom issue, please forgive me. I didn't find anything when I searched. Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated.

why dont you try refreshing it and if that doesnt work then just delete the widgt and then add it again.

open up the main weather app, check the setting, and hit refresh. If its not working than I would say whatever ROM you have has issues with the weather app.
With my flip clock, it doesnt update unless i manually do it. On the next page, i put a full-screen weather widget and hit the update bar at the bottom of the weather widget. this in turn will update the flip clock.

Stock weather app

Im having a problem with the weather app, when I set the location to Montevideo (where I live) I can't scroll through the graph which is suppoused to show hourly temperature. It's weird because it works fine with any other location
I'm running froyo
Can anyone test it with your nexus one, setting the location to Montevideo in the weather app, to see if it works fine
Thanks

Stock clock/weather location update?

Hi,
Yet another strange thing I am having. For setting the weather location in LG's home clock/weather widget I select "current location". Can it really be tru that it does not update likek the HTC weather? I can't use a weather report based on eg. my home address when I travel 100 km for work!

Seems to be a problem, yes because there is no proper configuration...
It's a great widget but it also updates (refreshes) very slowly and this can not be adjusted.
You travel 100km for work!

I also had a problem with changing my location.
The solution was de-install and install the widget again.
Then you can change the temp, location, time whene to update etc..

You can get the that screen after hitting the weather picture on the icon then menu then settings... but it's doesn't have a "follow me" or "update frequency" option as far as I can tell.

No, I can't find any further options. How can You de-install / install something built in the OS? Are You rooted??

Yeah, 104 KM to be exact. Each way...but its 7 days on/off.

your not exactly de-installing it you remove the widget from your screen. hold it and then drag it to the bin. Then you put the widget back.

I have tried this several times but it does still not give me as much options as You state. No update freq. change! And still it does not update on current location unless I manually click inside the widget.

I also just bought the phone so the method is a bit extencive.
what you can do is push on the widget so that if wil onfold.
Then press on the left button next to the home button.
and press options.
You than can change the temp. as in fahrenheit or celcius.
You can also ad multiple locations.
You can't do anything about the auto update.

Use Fancy Widget, there is a fee version on marked works very nice.

Its pitty. This widget is really beautifull, even with animations. Only think which I am missing is refresh rate setting :-( I hope that this can be solved in near future...

yap, the widget its beautiful, can anyone has a fixed in this one, i'm from New Zealand, Daylight saving just began, but the clock of the widget still the same. the actual clock is different to the clock of the widget, even the update is at the button of the widget +1 hour . see picture. thanks
