Simple weather app (not for today screen) - like the iPhone?

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'll check it out... but just from looking at the program it does seem a tad too bloated for what I'm looking for. But thank you

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.

Adding Tasks to TouchFlow?

Is there any way to add tasks to show up in the touchflow homepage, below the calendar?

Nobody knows?

i wanna know too

me too... I use tasks and prefer that to show up instead of calendar appointments.

Another task question...
I would like tasks to be added to Touchflo 3D too, but I'm guessing we're going to have to wait for the next version!
In the meantime, I have another task question; is it possible for tasks to just show active tasks that have "started"? e.g. if the start date for a task is next month, then I don't want to see it until then, unless I view "all tasks". I've just upgraded from a mobile 2005 device, and this is the first feature I'm missing!
Thanks for any help!
Lee

yeah...ane idea how to add task in the home screen...i so miss it though i like the Flo3D interface very much...adding the task option below the calender or instead could be great...ane ideas please...
thanks

With this version of TF3D it is unfortunately impossible.

yup i miss Tasks on the homepage too, the only alternative i found is adding it to the Start Menu so i can access it quickly.

Seriously?! No tasks on the home screen without disabling TF3D?.
Honestly.. ..every time I get a new WinMobile phone, it feels like 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Ho hum...
(at least that's an aggregated 1 step forward... ;-) )

Million peoples aks for this before. Just use the search or google.
If it is possible, we make the solution public! Just wait...

A good solution I have found from helpful guys here is to
1 - install Second Today (found on these boards)
2 - registry change one of your soft keys to Second Today so you can flick between TF3D and Today
3 - install a today screen plugin (I like Pocket Breeze)
Then you have the best of both worlds and if you like tasks, as I do, you have them, notes etc all on your screen no harder to get to than scrolling home in TF3D
Oh and also if you wallpaper it with the same image you hardly know you are in and out of TF

Yeah I can definately recommend SecondToday too

Integrating Task-list to TouchFlo3d
I've been looking around a while, and so far with no luck for a fix for this.
So, the question is: Was the call log tab discovered in TouchFlo3D a pre-coded and hidden tab, or was it coded from scratch?
As far as I remember, it was discovered... But it was coded from scratch, can someone prep a task-tab for the TouchFlo3D?

This will be interesting, if only i was a programmer.
looking forward to this realese if someone would be willing enough, you are my heros

HI,
I solved that issue installing the Second Today application and using the Pocket Breeze plugin.
But I would also like to view the Tasks in a Native Touch Flow Tab.
Regards,
Jose

A tab with task and appointment info sure would be nice to have...

Tasks tab for Touchoflo 3D
Has anyone developed a new tab for Touchflo 3D (like they did for Call History) that would work with tasks? It would be great to be able to view and change the status of tasks on the fly...

Hey there! Remember I posted a similar thread for a while ago, didn't get any solutions then, but maybe this time

AFAIK the "recent calls" tab of TF3D hasn't been developed by anyone here. It was always there, right from HTC - just not used.

Calender Bug - Any Fix?

Hi all, I choose to start calender in 'month view' in calender options, but when i open it, it comes on in month view but immediately changes back to day automatically. Has anyone else come accross this?

yes, my HTC Diamond also has this bug.. anybody has any idea how to solve this bug??

Just a curiosity: does this happen with TouchFlo disabled as well?

I haven't tried disabling touchflo so not sure.

Here it's the same, but with TF3D disabled everything is fine

I have no fix for the calendar bug. I use another agenda program though (Agenda One), which has a much much better look and feel than the standard one and much more functionality.

Just what I thought - looks like another TF3D bug. I really hope they iron these things out before the European release. My preorder stands, of course

funny I dont know what I did ???

I do not have the problem??? You mean to just open calendar from start menu and click the bottom left soft key that says day to week then to month then to year and you can view the whole month at once??? I do not see any problem. My black fuzzy icons are buggy as can be tho....

nevermind I see in calendar options....but mine has no problems....starts right up in the month view....hummm

ok folks, i've just tested on my Diamond. If you open Calendar using the 3D Touchflow, u'll open up to the day view (irregardless of your view settings in Calendar).
but if u open Calendar using the Start -> Calendar.... u'll get the month view (assuming u've set "month view" in the options)

Thanks mate.

It is not a bug, it is a feature:
Touchflo 3D is a TODAY replacement. So if you use Touchflo 3D to open calender, it will show you TODAY!!
Makes sense, don't you think?
If you want to take a look into your calender in an other view, you can use one of the many other ways to open it.

People TAB supports no more than 15 favourites -> how to remove this limitation?

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anybody noticed that you cannot add more than 15 contacts in the favourites (People TAB in TF3D).
Is there any way to remove this limitation?
Cheers!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php

I find the same limit...
Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance!

people contacts limit
I apologize, but I've searched a lot before posting and still I can't find a solution.
Would anybody be so patient and willing to help me?
Thank you very much!
Andrea - Italy

Unfortunately, I don't think there exists any tweak to do this ATM...

do you really need more than 15 favorites in "favorites" tab ?
you also have the option to add to yr phone lots of favorites without pic but still a fast way to access yr most used/important contacts.
i like the favorites tab but i find all the favorites option a little redundant. my smart dialer takes much faster to the contact i want.
shortly, in my opinion not such an important issue to be asked and asked again, and pushed again.

Very true that- I make an effort to add the favourites every time I flash although it's much quicker to use smart dialing (awesome feature). I guess adding the favourites is mainly for showing off because it is quite impressive.

I turned that whole tab off

Shortcut of a panel?

Well, i just want to put a shortcut of some of my panels on the programs of my xperia, so i can go to facebook (for example) instead of changing panel
Thx !

/bump
no one knows how to do it?

There were launchers for RA1 Radio and Multimedia panel, made by Pubba.
AFAIK it was small EXE opening Panel DLL and calling some function, rather simple.
But they changed something in newer roms, it does not work anymore.
Also Pubba seems to be out of XDA.

Hmm,than whats the point with panels?

but for example for facebook, i use it SO much... and i dont like having to swap panels all the time, coz if i need to watch sthing while im posting at facebook i must swap panels and those things, and it becomes annoying ^^

The Facebook panel is quite different from the Facebook app. Different interface, different options, you can do some things in one that you can't do on the other. Even my front page gave different updates for the MS app and the X1 panel
Among the various Facebooks for WM/X1 I've tried, I still like m.facebook.com the best
