Why doesn't the Phone just use its GPS and locate where i am and give me a live location update of the local weather. I know it sounds complex, but it will be a great addition to life when the phone can find out what city is closest to you and give you the weather updates.......I don't normally stay at one place for too long, and you know, You walk a mile, the weather gets better saying.......so a constant changing weather report will be fun and useful to have.....
What do you guys think?
While I think there's merit to the concept, do you really need your phone to tell you the current weather for wherever you happen to be standing?

Exactly this were my thoughts...
Yah, sure, but how bout 3-5 days from now? you know, FORECAST?? I think it's a great idea!
Yeah
This could be great idea... F.e not always there is no place or city where you are at the list.
When this gps solution would be possible then gps tell somewhere my position and software find best meteo (or something else) weather service provider information to me.
This functionality is in the Handy Weather application . Unfortunatley its for S60 phones . had it on my N95 and its was great
Well the one that came with my phone was trial only so so its now gone. Wondering if anyone knew a good weather app for the tilt. Current weather, 5-7 day forcast, etc.

Is there any weather software that gives weather for any zipcode, not a major city (like accuweather)?
HTC home can do it, you just have to download the new version and modify the xml to add your own cities. theres a big tutorial on th is site somewhere
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?

With Opera installed I went into settings and made sure to un-check make opera the default browser.
After I did that it worked.

Let me rephrase it: I couldn't get it to working using Opera Mini
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.
ekhhhh...im really getting frustrated, none of these programs work with a proxy connection! does anybody know a weather program that works with a proxy connection? thanks

Well Weather Watcher is in deed free. I'm afraid to say you might have settings problems on your GPRS connection. I have Proxy and it worked perfectly for me. If you care to share our DevInfo, I'll see if I can help.
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.

I've looked in Opera settings and can't find the option to uncheck opera as my default browser....is it in Opera:config?...if so where?
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?
tks,

TF3D Diamond, Weather After Hard Reset
I have something different going on. Following a hard reset, my weather add-cities has changed. United States used to be at the top of the country list, and now it's clear down in the U's. Does the aforementioned database editor have anything to fix that? Otherwise, I don't need to edit anything, liking it as is. Thanks in advance!
Weather and CFNET 3.5
I had to get a new fuze due to a bad radio in the old one. I had the weather database and CFNET 3.5 installed on the old and working. However, on the new I have forgotten how to get the apps to use CFNET 3.5 and not the older version.
HELP ME.
I know I navigated to one of the apps and it was in a drop down but for the life of me I can not remember which one.
Thanks!

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
Thanks!! I even had that on my memory card. Could not remember what it was. HOWEVER, I still get a message that "installation of weatherdatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

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....
is it possible to change the tab to something else? like pocket weather?
I'm from Montreal
Don't have any custom rom. It is the stock ATT rom. I will try 1.1 and let you know.

Homemade video:
(application is available in english and italian, video was made using italian locale)
Hi, I got some feedback about colours legibility, so I've added a poll about it.
My idea was to colour code data, in order to avoid repeating labels.
Even if you don't want to install it, I would be grateful if browsing the video you could leave a feedback here. Thanks
Hi again,
we are in the process of adding more locations worldwide. We would like to get (if possible) feedback if you are finding your particular location or at least a close one. Next update will geolocate you and find close locations.
Live Tiles
Hi again. I get quite a bit of feedback, both in comments and via email, about the absolute _imperial_ need of a live tile, without which no application should be published !
Just to make things clear: the live tile is coming, but there are a few more important sections and improvements that should be taken care of. Moreover, there is a good reason why it takes a bit to implement and why people are reticent to do so: it just doesn't work reliably yet. It has been clear now for some months, that push notifications in the current form have met the obstacle of carriers network management and while the issue is being worked on and improved, they're still not very reliable. Basically the network operator doesn't want to keep the connection open for push notifications too much and on the other side the ms protocol is failing to 'force' the network to comply.
Some more informations here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx
Again, the live tile is coming, it has been working almost ok for a month on my test unit. But really, while impressive and cool, there are more useful updates to provide first.
Hi, this application is quite complete regarding forecasts. Are you planning to include webcams at some point ?
Yep, webcams are planned for the future updates, not in the upcoming one, though, maybe the one afterwards
The problem in implementing them is that you can't just link random webcams on the web, you have to get a list with permissions given from the owners
Updated today with GPS location, autorefresh, news feeds and some other stuff.
Coming up: webcams
Nice look. Needs °F option, zoom for maps, scalable text. Would consider buying no-ad version.

Thanks a ton. You're right about farenheit degrees, considering I've already implemented english language.
Zoom for maps was implemented at the start, then the fact that it wouldn't work very well with the swipe gesture and the relatively readability of the maps made me remove it. Do you think they need zooming because you can't read them well enough ?
Scalable text in which section ?
No-ad was an idea from the start, however we're considering releasing every future feature (live tile, etc) for free anyway.
Thanks for the feedback
I HTC HD2 (with WM 6.5) and although I have a couple of meteo apps.installed
I would like to try yours, which indeed seems very atractive.
Any chance and, if yes, how to do it ??
I installed it today... very nice graphs! the only thing I still need to do is to see if the forecast is indeed right... if it is, and when the live tile comes on, I may even cancel my daily e-mail forecast from my preferred forecaster

hehe thanks good to know. I'm obviously very unrelated to those that provide the forecast itself, but in the weeks I've tried it, it seems to me it works even better than the other more famous italian provider (more famous for consumer-level, actually this is a lot more business-level).
Try to avoid updating the forecast for 24/48 hours and see if the 'now' detail is correct !

Hi again,
I'm striving to pass the next update through certification, however it seems (as reported by some) that certification parameters have become more tight recently and they won't let you pass the small things as before.
This is maybe good, but that also means that it might take a while to 'fix' the application, especially in the most complex parts, i.e. it's not that the updates aren't coming, it's just that it needs some polishing.
As mentioned, next update includes webcams, the one after that 'could' include live-tiles, if there isn't any other important weather data to include in the application.
Victory ! Certification passed in record time this once !
That's weird, it took only one day...
First post updated as soon as I'm home
Really nice app. Are you going to release also a paid version ad free?
