HTC Weather

I wonder if any one else if having the same problems as myself with the weather app on the Hero. It also seems to effect the widget on the homescreen as well.
The first place in the list always seems to be the current city which is great if it works. I am forever getting 'No weather data available' although if I add my city manually it gets the five day forcast no problem.
The problem is that now I am in the same city I added manually the 'current city' overwrites the one I added manually and returns the same'No weather data available'.
This bug only seems to effect the area I live in but seems to work as it should in other parts of the country.
Any one else in Reading (UK) having the same issue?
I have tried a hard reset and even played with the settings out of town to see if that would help

I'm in Edinburgh and having the exact same issue, as are several other people in this city. I've heard people in various locations across the country complain about the same thing.
I've not come across a solution yet, I think it will have to be in an update from HTC.

yup, same in Cambridge.

Same here. If I select "Rearrange" I now have multiple entries for Cambridge...

Same here in the uk, the widget and application never seem to match up - finds city on one but not the other. Plus the add your city screen in the setup(s) is very tempromental and sometimes does not let you select or even recognise your existing ones.
Further to that the weather / clock widget responds to quickly to a touch so when you swipe the home screen (if you have the clock / weather clock in primary position) it opens the options dialog instead of moving spaces.
I removed the htc clock and weather widgets because of the above problems. I like the "bling" that they bring to the interface but in real life I can turn my head and look out of the window quicker than I can pick up and press the power button on the handset.

I'm in Edinburgh, same is happening :{
It was working fine in Aberdeen, and when I came to Edinburgh it detected that and showed weather ok.. until I rebooted...

I'm in Darlington, and am having the same problem which is really begining to annoy me.

Has anyone actually complained to HTC about this bug? It seems to affect the HD2 too.

I gave up with HTC weather widgit and use Snowstorm weather widget available from the market, gets the weather where ever I am in the UK all the time.

Hi I am from Macedonia and I have the same problem...
The widget on the home screen displays other city when I chose current location... And I love this widget... I am in pain!!!
So far no solution...
I have MDA Mail too... And back then my city was not on the list...
So I did search around in the windows directory and found a txt file
containing the list... Soon enough i found that the codes listed are
the same as the ones used on Accuweather.
So i edited the file and than I was able to select my city...
But the app said that it was unable to get the condition
for my city.
So i give up...
I think that maybe the problem does not lies in the widget it self.

I had the same problem. Just delete the widget and add it again. Go to Add to Home (+) button -> HTC Widget -> Clock.... And just choose the one you want with the weather app. It worked for me

same here
I currently have the Eris.... vzw's hero... and same issue im in the usa it always displays weather when im home or out but when im home it shows me weather for a town 45 miles from my house, i came to this phone from HTC Imagio(whitestone) and Touch Pro 2(rhodium) and same issues on those phones seems to be an HTC bug and not carrier specific.

PS.. have deleted and reinstalled works fine till first update.... i ahev tried both cell location and gps, cell location only, and gps only..

remove the clock widget and re-add it and then when it asks you to set your location dont use the gps fix (my current location), just pick your city from the list or search for it.
Its not a fix but assuming you stay in one place it at least means the weather report shown will work

Hello. Had the same problem with 'No weather data available' in the HTC weather. I have freshly flashed the EnergyROM_21889_BLACKSTONE_20.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila to my HTC HD. It would not refresh via GSM HSDPA Internet connecion, but when I switched to WiFi network Internet, it worked! Then switched back to 3G Internet and still works as it should. As if HTC weather referred to wrong connection at the very startup. Hope this will help some of you.

Go to Weather Tab>Menu>Enable My Location
If you're lucky it will show the weather of your current location and otherwise it won't.
Sorry for my bad english,
I'm from the Netherlands, actually Indonesia, but who cares,
Goodbye!

this worked. I switched to Wifi and clicked update and it downloaded the data. I then turned Wifi off and now it still updates.

I've got exactly the same problem as the guy in the first post on my HTC Desire. I also live in Reading and the weather doesn't work using current location, but works fine when I have added Reading manually. It's really annoying because I'd prefer the widget to use my current location rather than always Reading.

had the same problem, on polaris. solved.
as someone here said, i let it connect via wi-fi and since then all ok.
very odd...
but hey, it works!
cheers

Widget Request - Toggle 3G/Edge

In AT&T's infinite wisdom, they removed the menu option for switching between the 3G and 2G/Edge networks. I found the following on the forums on how to force 3g or 2g on the Captivate.
Enter the Phone app.
Dial *#*#197328640#*#*
Select [1] DEBUG SCREEN
Select [8] PHONE CONTROL
Select [4] UE STATE CONTROL
If you want 2G, select:
[3] CHANGE RAT TO GSM
If you want 3G, select:
[2] CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA

Do any of you android developers have the ability to create a widget that does this for us? Something simple like press it once and you are in 2G, press it again and you are back to 3G? I'd pay $2 for that (or buy you a couple beers if you live in Denver.)
Backstory: I get HORRIBLE 3G reception at the office. So my phone tries desperately to find the 3G network with very little love. So I don't get 3G speeds but my battery gets drained. Edge works awesome at the office and is fine for getting emails and synching. I'd like to easily go to Edge in the office and then turn it back to 3G when I go out for lunch or go home. I've looked through the market and have not found something that does this in a simple way. If you read this and would be interested in such a widget, please add a comment so developers can see demand beyond me.

here u go its the service menu option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748859

The OP just detailed the process for switching the radios in their post... They know how to do that already. What they are looking for is a widget that can do this so you don't hebert to fumble around jun the service menu.
I'll add five bucks to they put somebody can get it done.

This would be awesome if someone could make it happen. The SGS info works really well and did make it easier, but it's still somewhat of a hassle going through all those menus.

Yeah...that's better, but still not what I was looking for. I hadn't seen that app yet, so thanks for pointing it out. I'd still like a widget that allows me to toggle 2G/3G with the push of a button.

Sorry If I didnt make that clear, but my post is a program that gets you to the service menu without entering it manually,Yes you still have 2 do the steps but easier as far as getting into the service menu. I do understand that you are looking for a 1 button switch back and forth and hopefully someone will find it or make 1.

I have tried using the APN on/off widget, but found it ineffective. Wish some one could come up with an widget that Actually works on ALL AT&T ANDROID DEVICES as AT&T disables the toggle between 3G and Edge feature.

Smoda widget kind of does what you want, although I think it may disable data all together.

Can't be done unless you root your phone and install a custom ROM. Thats why you can't find a widget to do it.
I've written Toggle 2G that can do exactly what your asking for and combined with the Locale app can even do it automatically. But will require installing a custom ROM on your phone.
Cheers,
MB
P.S. I live in Centennial, so I'll take you up on your beer offer if this helps
Edit: I haven't done much research on the Captivate, so I don't know if there are any ROMs that will work.

@sfernadez:
I have been using that app for a while now... it makes it slightly more convenient, but it's not the simple 2G/3G toggle that we are looking for.
All of the widgets and apps that are supposed to do this just turn data off altogether on the Captivate.

did this widget ever get made?!?!?! i need it

Hasn't been tested on the Captivate, as far as I know, but it's worth a shot.

It's been a while since anyone has posted any updates here! is there any news if this had been tested to work on the Captivate Glide? there had not been any custom roms developed as of yet for this device.

[REQ] App to only enable 3g when needed

So I've been testing stuff out and I notice that when I have 3g turned off I get like twice the battery life. Is there an app anyone knows of that keeps 3g off unless specifically using data without having to manually use a 3g/2g toggle?
Nexus S - cm7

tasker would do it, its not free but its really worth the money

Would tasker do it without root on stock?
Every app I tried since 2.3.x... none seem to be able to disable your mobile data connection.
Thanks.

Looking for a app similar to the one in cm7 that can toggle 2g on and off. Haven't found anything like it yet

I've notice there's an option for "Use only 2G networks". Was wondering if it's possible to make, or if there already excist a widget/switch to quickly switch it on and off.

Widgetsoid is awesome, but it still only throws you into "Network settings" menu, not toggling the "Use only 2G networks" button.
Is it even possible tho? On my older phones (Desire, Desire Z) I remember it was impossible to do a button to instantly toggle between 2G and 3G.

Control Bar?

That's our best bet for now. On the g2 you could toggle.

Try xda superpower. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it is useful. You can set it to disable data when the screen is off, set exemptions for specific apps, and a whole bunch of other options. Its free so you might want to give it a try.

[REQ] 3G/4G radio manager

I've seen plenty of 3g/4g radio toggle widgets but none that do it automatically.
I 'm willing to pitch in towards someone willing to develop a 3g/4g radio manager for the TB. I'm sure I'm not alone.
I think it could be something as easy as an app that toggles the 4g radio on when the screen wakes up and toggles 3g on after x minutes of inactivity. The span of inactivity could be set in a menu option. All that would be required aside from that is a widget to toggle the radio manager on or off.

I would pitch in! Seems like it would save the battery.

Any updates on this??

fwiw I haven't seen anything to even suggest something like this is in development.

Have you guys looked into LTE on/off in the market?

It's a toggle, not a radio manager.

Tasker could sure be modded to do this

I emailed Tasker dev specifically and he said that the app can't handle 4G toggles right now. Take that for what it's worth :x

Yea it is what it is right now until a new source is released or leaked.
That's also why we only see toggle apps in market otherwise I'm sure there would of been an app created already.

The Verizon network has what's called eHPRD. That's supposed to switch it for you when your signal runs low. I personally don't get a good 4g signal so i switched to rev A along with CDMA prl. It works and I always have a data signal.

I would be happy for a widget on my home screen that I can press to toggle between 4G and 3G

In the market place there is an app called lte 3g/4g. It is just for the thunderbolt to do just what you have wanted. It's been there for a long time now.

It's not a widget, just a shortcut to network settings.

That's why I said it has a Tasker plugin?
Of course you need to couple it with a Tasker rule.
Back when I tested the Tasker Trial it couldn't change 2G/3G afaik and I had to use Toggle 2G/3G to get that possibility.
Maybe that's not true anymore and Tasker can change that alone nowadays.
If you want to get help with setting up that rule you need to ask someone else as I decided against purchasing Tasker.
But then this question might be better suited for the Tasker forum.
