HTC Home Screen - Weather Updating - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I use the HTC home screen and the weather panel is set to automatically update but at least half the time I check it there's a message stating that it is attempting to download the weather and then I have to wait for it. Does anyone know a way to force it to auto-update every x hours or otherwise just not go stale? Thanks

are your connection settings correct? did you disable the proxy?

I'm going to admit something that I wish i didn't have to- of all the things I've done to my phone I've never understand the disable/enable proxy so I've never touched it. I'm running the AT&T stock ROM but I stripped it of the bloatware (i.e. disabled it by hard resetting). If disabling the proxy is the answer then I'll try it - I've seen the cab around.

I disabled proxy using KaiserTweaks and it hasn't changed it. After a period of time I still get the 'attempting to download weather information' screen. Is there any correlation to home screen time out that you know of? There are no other settings regarding weather that dictate the frequency of weather updating that I can find... Thanks again

i turned off the home screen timeout and I'm still getting the same error - any other ideas? I had the same issue on my 8525...

home screen timeout is the set amount of idle time before the today screen automatically shows up again (as opposed to whatever program that you left running)

Gotcha. Any way you know of to force a program to refresh then? I guess simpler - how to make the 'automatic updates' in HTC home really automatically update the weather so it's invisible to me (and I don't have to wait for it to download each time). Thanks

You can use emuntuz HTC Home Customiser to set weather to auto-update each time it goes stale (even has an option to disable when roaming)
Be aware though, like any regularly-used open connection, you may see quicker than usual battery drain compared to not having auto-update.

you need to go into settings--connections--connections--manage my proxy
then uncheck the box that says "this connection uses a proxy"

Can somebody post what the actual change that HHC makess that allows it to autoupdate when stale? HHC does not run on Smartphones, so it would be nice to be able to make the changes.

I've tried both the home customizer and disabling the proxy (which I verified by going to device.home which failed as expected). The weather option to autoupdate is checked in the app itself and in the home customizer app and proxy is disabled and every two hours or so I still get the 'attempting to download' message and I have to wait for it. Am I the only one getting this? I'm surprised there's no setting to download weather every x hours somewhere in the app. I'd explore the registry but I think that's beyond my knowledge...

Auto-start GPS recieve when using Google Maps...Possible?

OK..Hope this is the proper place to post this...
I am horrible at remembering to charge my phone, thus I don't keep GPS on at all time because of battery drain. However, I find it frustrating that every time I start Google maps that I have to enable the GPS. It seems to me that there should be a function built into that app which would enable the user to have it automagically enable the GPS reciever on the apps start up. To my knowledge this isn't possible but I feel it would be very useful. So, does anyone know how one would achieve this? Would it be possible to write a script that would accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for the input.
Menu button, Settings, Security & Location, set "Enable GPS satelites"
if you enable gps it wont actually turn on until you open google maps or a location based program (you will see a satellite dish at the top letting you know if it is on). the gps setting basically just tells the phone if a program requests gps location it is okay to turn the gps antenna on.
otherwise its off and battery doesn't get affected
Thanks...
Hey dk75 & averma, thanks for the posts. I should really read the fine print on some of these menu options prior to asking these questions...oops!
Hello!
My wife and me use latitude (from google) to see where we are on Google maps. Latitude works best if the GPS is on. HOWEVER, we just need to see each other on google maps when we are driving home (between 17:00 and 18:00). If i turn on the gps, latitude will eat the battery the whole DAY...) I would like to know if there is a way to schedule the activation of the gps...

Try looking up "Locale" on the market. App isn't free, but most of the plugins for it are, and you can combine the functions of the plugins to do almost anything.
I use it for exactly what you're talking about myself.
Google Maps doesn't Auto-start GPS
Hi all,
I know this thread is pretty old but hoping for a reply all the same. I'm using the Galaxy S in the Uk with Google Maps & Navigation. I used to have the HTC HERO running maps & navigation and whenever I started either of those apps, the little atenna would appear to show that it was trying to find a gps position.
However, on my Galaxy S, whenever I start Maps or Navigation nothing happens. Even though I have "use wireless networks" and "use GPS satallites" both checked.
I cant imagine that technology would have taken a step back from such a useful feature and it is really irritating having to remember to disable/enable GPS (using SwitchPro home screen widget) before being able to use Maps or Navigation.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this??
Install Tasker app and create a profile that enables GPS when you run Maps app.

tasker does not let you autostart gps... is there any other way. i also hate having to turn on gps and right under enable gps in blue words under settings it says< uses more battery. i can send pic

i have spent sometime now lurking behind the scenes in this group and
have read, in detail, my share of the posts. Make no mistake, the
guys here are experts and being experts their methods/explanation
often goes way over the head of the typical noob. this post is to
introduce this wonderful application of tasker to the inimitable
noob. i hope my effort would ease someone's labour.
imagine this scenario: you switch on maps on your phone and keep
wondering why it does not show your precise location and then it hits
you! you did not switch on your GPS. this post explains how to create
a profile that switches on your GPS automatically when you fire up
maps.
Just remember this: Profile is the context i.e. what you want to do.
in the present case, you want to first start maps and when maps is
started you want to switch on GPS. then when you exit maps, you want
GPS to be switched off. this is the object.
Stage 1: In profile tab click the + sign. give a name like 'MAP'.
this name will identify the profile that is currently active. after
you name it press the green tick and you are shown several options
like application, time, day etc. Now maps come under applications, so
press applications and all the appliations in your phone are
displayed. scroll down and select maps and press the tick mark. at
this stage you have told tasker that whatever you want to do revolves
around maps.
Stage 2: Now that you have hinted to tasker about the application
that is to be run, we should next state what should happen when the
appliation is started. after you press the tick mark you will be
shown a window asking for task selection. press new task and give it
a name like switch on GPS.
Stage 3: after baptising the task, you will be taken to a broad
window . press the + mark on the bottom left and the confusion
begins. a pletora of options is thrown at you (this is why tasker is
so darn powerful). this is called the 'select action category'.
digressing a little here you should know that google has changed
something with android and you cannot in the usual course toggle GPS.
so you should download an app called 'secure settings' (from google
play) and install it. once it is installed open it and it gives you an
option to install a helper. install the helper also. this activates
the GPS option.
Stage 4: once that process is completed, come back to tasker and get
yourself to the 'select action category'. here press on plugin and
then on secure settings. in the next window, touch 'edit' and then
scroll down to GPS and touch it. three options are displayed viz. on,
off and toggle. choose on and press the floppy disk icon to the
bottom left. press the tick mark and again press the tick mark. at
this stage you have succeeded in activating GPS when maps is started.
however, when you exit maps you find that GPS does not switch off by
itself.
Stage 5: to make it switch off by itself, you need to create the same
task again. just long press on the task which has already been
created (called here as switch on GPS) and you are presented with
several options. select the first one - 'add exit task' and follow
the process as in stage 4. however, instead of choosing 'on' select
'off' this time. once this is done come out and test it.
Stage 6 - and the most important - Feel happy and satisfied.
i am sure there should be some easier way to do this. however, in my
limited understanding of tasker this was how i did it. i really am
confused about the variables. i hope someone will help. when i say
confused, i should clarify that i have no inkling of what it does. :
( could someone tell me where to read up on it? i have searched on
google and i havent found any satisfactory explanation.
i will continue to post my profiles and i hope it is of help to the
group here.

Thank you for your post, I wouldn't be able to do it without you man!
I have a question. I'm using LBE security master which monitor my firewall, wifi, adware, etc. is there a way for tasker to check in LBE firewall and toggle my wifi/data when I want it? instead of creating a new profile for ON/OFF wifi. I just want it to look in my app and see what app has permission to what and allow/un-allow.
Thanks again!

Yes is does autostart if you want with tasker..

You can use the "Auto-Enable GPS for Maps" application, which switches both WiFi and GPS on when you launch Maps, Navigation, Local or Latitude, and restores them to their old state (e.g. switched off) when you quit these apps.

How to enable the location settings along with the GPS ON task?

[Q] missing "Map it" option in "find my phone" service

I have just got a HD7. In the setting section, under the find my way category, I have a problem.
first, the phone says that find my way is not available.
Second. The option that allows me to let the phone save my locations for faster whatever does not exist. i.e. instead of two options in find my phone setting, I just have one. the other is missing.
third, in the windows live website, there is no sign of the "Map it" option that it should be there. other features like lock and ring work perfectly fine through SMS, NOT push notification.
although this is not a big deal, but I wonder what can be the reason. I live in turkey. can that be for it that the map it option is not available in turkey, or maybe HTC has decided to protect our privacy better by removing the save my location option. anybody has any idea?

I have the same problem, anyone can solve this?
Set your number in the settings, then it should work. Or try to change your locale settings (WL and phone)
On my device it's also missing.
When I logged into the website windowsphone.com suddenly on the phone instead of those two checkboxes with options, I've got only now :
"Ring, lock or erase your phone......" and slider setting "On/Off".

Anyone know of a widget for roaming mode?

Does anyone know of a widget I can use to switch roaming mode between "automatic" and "force roaming?" I'm running Viper 1.1 with nova launcher. I tried to dig out the settings shortcut but they dont have the option to select "mobile data." I also tried to use a nova launcher "activity" but I couldn't find that shortcut either- I dont think mobile data is a usable activity. I have beautiful widgets installed but you cannot set up a switch for that.
I'm thinking it would need to be a specific app cause none of the other routes I've tried has yeilded a workable solution (currently I have a settings shorcut and I navigate to mobile data, select roaming and then force it... booo)
...My apartment is perfectly placed that its too weak for receiving calls on sprint signal but not quite weak enough to reliably switch to roaming (full bars roaming and able to receive calls) Its really annoying and I've missed a ton of calls because of this. (I did talk to sprint about an airave and they want to charge $10 a month for access...ONTOP of buying the damn thing... to augment their ****ty signal? Get real.)
super annoying.
Roam Control does a great job, although I'm guessing you don't really want to buy an app that essentially duplicates your ROM's functionality.

I actually had looked into that app but it didn't seem to fit what I was looking for... I'll check it out again
I just downlaoded "secure settings" and in that app I enabled "helper" (root required). Then you can press and hold on the mainscreen to make a "shortcut" and select secure settings, then you can select "data roaming" in the helper menu which is now enabled. Then you'll have to download an Icon pack (free) which the app directs you too (there are tons to match just about any theme). You can name the widget, pick the icon, save and...
...It didn't work. I'm going to keep working at it... Will update if I find anything.

Roam Control comes with a pretty simple 4x1 widget that lets you toggle between Home, Automatic, and Roaming. That's the end of that as far as Roam Control's widgets go. You can also create a Tasker task to toggle Roam Control and use Tasker's widgets if you want.
Secure Settings is great, but Data Roaming is not at all what you want. Data Roaming simply allows you to use mobile data (3G/4G) when you're already on a roaming provider.
Tasker and Roam Control together come close to $10 (at least, they did when I picked them up-- I think that Tasker now is actually $3.49), but I now have a profile that checks every half hour for the phone's service state. If the signal received is below a certain threshold (10% of optimum), the phone switches to roam, so long as a call is not active. If you get Roam Control and it works for you (can't see why it wouldn't, it does for me), I can package my profile as a separate APK and send it to you for use.

Thank you! I'll have to look into tasker, I could only find "not roam control" in the market, Is RC only availible via paypal on the devs website? I keep hearing about tasker and it sounds like a powerful tool that I really need to look into. I'll take a look at it and see if I cant figure it out, I may end up taking you up on your offer- I'll let you know.
*edit* looks like RC keeps getting pulled from the market... I'll look into it further. weird.
What you said about secure settings was a thought I had in the back of my mind after it didn't work... to bad, but still a nice little utility.

Unfortunately so, after Google pulled Roam Control from the market. And Tasker has a learning curve, but it's incredibly rewarding once you learn to use it-- and it's much less complicated than many people make it sound. If you choose to use Roam Control, let me know and I can package up my roam check routine (it'll work without Tasker).

GrooVeIP is an excellent program, but holding an open Wi-Fi connection can be a hit to your battery life, and no matter what codec I used the other party always felt I sounded a bit hazy. But it certainly is a good option if you're in a signal-less area for long periods of time (especially in teh basement of buildings).

Tasker or another automate app working?

Hi,
I tried to find root cause, but unfortunately without success. Is there anybody, who using Tasker or another application for automatization of your phone without any issues?
My issue is, Tasker is still "delayed" - but same rules I used before on LG G3 (Android 6.0) - but now on P9 (DualSIM) didn't work.
I have task for Calendar Entry, where if I have appointment in my work calendar, during this time Sound mode is deactivated (only Vibrate).
Some suggestion? I tried white lists, etc. or another app with same bad behavior.
Thank you!
Well, I tried to deactivate power management app from Huawei over ADB and looks good now finally! Its workaround, but tasker now working very well as expected.
adb shell pm hide com.huawei.powergenie
Did you have "Run in Foreground" selected in Tasker's preferences?
My Tasker works fine with that selected, although I also have trusted the app in permissions manager, allowed it to auto launch & activated it as a device administrator in advanced settings/security.
Yeah, I tried every tip over Tasker or phone (EMUI settings) and only deactivate power management helps me.
I had the same problem with IFTTT. It worked perfectly with my LG G3, but was hopeless on the P9. No amount of white-listing or settings would work.
I even had the app in memory, with Google maps running, on GPS, screen on, and it still wouldn't trigger a location based profile.
I've had to revert to manually arming and dis-arming my home security system. Annoying.
I translate from spanish so I'm sorry if your phone shows menus with other name.
You must go to adjust > advanced adjusts > memory and store and at bottom of page "space clean". On new screen push on upper-right wheel, and now on last option "white list of memory clean". Finally look for your app and activate it.
If you don't include app here, clean system will close it on background and timers won't work. It solved my problems.

Using Agama, I can get an app to start following a reboot. However, I would like to start the App at every Startup. Does Automate or any other app let you do that?

Why would you need Tasker for that simple.
Settings, type in the Search Autostart and add your app to the list of apps to be started on every reboot.
You may also need to disable Battery Optimization for your app (to make sure it would still work in background when the phone sleeps with dark screen)
That should generally work for all Androids. I don't have Huawei P9 now for years, I remember that EMUI might have had specific Settings organization but there was also Autostart (or Auto start)...

I had P9 for three years (if you don't believe, you can find tons of my posts here back from 2017-2018)
Now, you have that phone, not me (I got rid of my last Huawei almost three years ago) - I cannot show you and I cannot look into the EMUI settings because I don't have the EMUI phone anymore
But I KNOW that there was a way in EMUI how to control which apps will be automatically started on boot - I know because I played with all that back in those years, II did need for many apps like AdAway, Find My Device and similar that required to be auto-started to operate correctly
Take your time and google and you'll find. Sorry, I tried to help you but I will no more waste my time on that. Huaweis are past time for me
And take your time, use your imagination, If not Autostart, google for EMUI startup manager or something similar to find the answer for your question on the Net

Question Help Weather/Clock App does not update automatically

Wrong place I copied this to S21 forum...sorry for confusion
I have a Galaxy S21 Standard. I am having an issue with my weather/clock Widget. I got it years ago (and still there) it is called Weather & Clock by Interactive Sadia Arabia...on the screen you can see last update and there is a refresh button if you don't want to wait for the time you set for it to update. There is also a function that when you unlock your phone it will update. It is never updating. I was over 24 hours and it had not updated. If I click on the (Sun) and go back to the Widget it will update. I have it set to update every hour. I downloaded 1weather to see if it would work and I am getting the same issue. I read there is a way to fix this but on the Galaxy S21 does not have that feature, probably the fix was for an older model. There seems to be something on the phone blocking the function of this? I am open to suggestions, and I will let you know if I have already tried that.
BTW Clock works perfect
Thanks in Advance.
