weather is wrong...

anybody else weather on ty tn 2 home page is way off.

Yes it is exactly the same for me. The entire screen is disabled.

Hmm what do you mean with that?

if you mean off as in the temp is not the same as the temp in you area then its your settings. it took me a while to figure it out. when you click your city there is an option to change to Fahrenheit or Celsius.

weather is right now..

wow..thanks, ima hvac mechanic and i couldn't figure that out.i feel stupid..

I have no city in the city list, the entire screen is disabled. I cannot pick up a city, nothing. My device is an official unit bought in UK, no modifications whatsoever.

Absulutely No cities at all in my list. I can install one of the cabs from the forums to overcome the original file but was wondering why is it like that. The options is also not responding. I also tried to import the XML file from my Hermes but my list is still empty. Ideas are welcome.

the xml file is a ROM file so if you are trying to overwrite the original file you have to use something like Resco Explorer or it won;t overwite the ROM just using the native file explorer - try that. I have weather working nicely for Hurricane , WV --- and you can rest assured that wasn't on the original list (but worked well after I modified the xml file and installed the 6tab modified plugin)

My weather is wrong but I'm sure I know why. I'm in Springfield Missouri and its pulling data for Springfield Illinois. Its strange that it isn't able to pull up a bigger city list that includes states. Weather Panel is an old and now free app that has no trouble finding my little [email protected] town.

That's because WeatherPanel is an 'active' application, meaning you put in a Zip code and it goes and finds the data. The HTCWeather is not active meaning it only knows about the cities in the .XML file loaded to your device. Over on the Wizard forum there are several discussions on the subject. My Wizard for example only has the cities I care about the entire file is only 5K, vs the stock 300K one.
Hope that helps..

Wow small world. I too and in Springfield MO.
The weather is actually very easy to fix, all you need is a registry editor.
First choose "Springfield, US" from the city list. Now open up \\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
Change the value of "LocationCode". It will be NAM|US|IL|SPRINGFIELD.
Change it to NAM|US|MO|SPRINGFIELD. That simple. Change IL to MO and redownload your weather data.
I also changed the "Location" value from "Springfield, US" to Springfield, MO just because i liked it better. hehe.

Trying to get Hometown in HTC Home Weather

I have been trying to get my hometown, Olathe KS, to work in TNT.1437 but it will not allow me to update the weather and download data from accuweather.com but when I clicked the about weather link under Weather Options, Olathe KS is in their database. Does anyone know why I cannot use my hometown in the home plugin if my hometown is in their database?
All help will be appreciated and well received.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

You know, I had a similar issue using the Jaguar rom. Finally I had to completely modify the xml and add the keys in the registry. Then I had to reboot. It actually took me a few tries for it to take. I'm not sure if this helps you at all, but I wish you luck.
**Fresno, was NOT in the database...I had to write it. Perhaps your town needs to be re-written, maybe they entered the info wrong.

GPS-Weather-Update function

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

Change HTC Weather??

How can i change the weather to my city and not a major city??

you have got to start using the search feature lol
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html

yea i had that installed on my phone before i even posted this thread. I went to weather tab, and chose custom on the dropdown. Clicked Enter New City.
City, State: Marlboro, NJ
Country: US
Zip/Location code: 07746
And clocked save city to custom database. Went to the home screen and Marlboro comes up (at least it appears) on the weather tab but cannot get the temperatures. Whats a location code?

I'm curious as well...
Just flashed Shap's 4.31 rom and entering my city using the Advanced Config app doesn't work. If I select from a city on the list...no problem.
Using HHC 0.8 or 1.0 doesn't work for me either.
I'm in Asheville, NC 28806.

Just build a new city with the location code only and give it your city name!
Location Code Asheville, NC: USNC0022

that doesnt work :/

I thought I pop in too. My weather tab just doesn't seem to work no matter what city I choose, I've just got a big blank space where the weather should be and am going mad trying to find out what to do.

guess we'll just have to use accuweather.com

where do you get the location codes from?

well I answered my own question and found the location code. Still doesnt work though. I did the soft reset, but it still won't find the weather for my city. Any ideas?

Here is how I did it, worked on my first try.
(These instructions are United States specific)
Browse to: http://weather.yahoo.com/
And enter the city name or zip code that you wish to view the weather for.
Note the location code in the URL that you are directed to, for example:
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USKY0919.html
Install the HTC Home Customizer to your device. It will be found under:
Start\Programs\HTC Home Customizer
Navigate to the "Weather" tab and do this:
change "Database Type:" to "Custom"
click "Enter New City"
enter "City, ST"
enter "US" for the United States
enter "USKY0919" in "Location Code", change this value to match your location
click "Save City to Custom Database"
Reboot

Followed those steps exactly, still get Unable to retrieve data for selected city, Select here to retry. For what it's worth, I tried a major city, like Orlando and got the same results. Is there some setting that I have misconfigured that would prevent this?

Did you not understand what I wrote? I wrote this as general instructions for the US, hence the:

and
"enter "USKY0919" in "Location Code", change this value to match your location"

Weather on the Fuze

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.
