Since this morning my weather app. is not working anymore and I'm using the HTC HOME plug in it says " Unable to retrieve data for selected city. Select here to retry."
Can someone help me. I removed them already, reinstall them but doesn't work with any city.
Help please.
Just checked mine and it updated fine... Everything else working fine like browsing, checking emails, etc.?
Might want to copy that entire message into Google along with 'HTC Home Customizer' and do a search. There's various links to threads in them but I couldn't look too in-depth as to what the problem might be from.
Good luck!
There looked to be a post on here too but it was like 50+ pages, yikes!

Looked ok at first but digging further mine hasn't updated since Sunday 11/25.
Same problem with the weather here too. The last time I checked it was this morning, and it has stopped working since. I tried some random cities, and they did not work either.
(georgemera, try to be more specific with the thread title (e.g., at least, HTC Home weather not updating). I wouldn't have bothered reading if I didn't accidentally click it...)
me too
I'm also experiencing this issue, I haven't seen an update since Sun. I've been roaming all over the US since Thurs. but this has been my only issue. I too have searched but don't yet have a working fix. Anyone know if this is an AT&T-specific issue? I see that T-Mobile customers have had this problem in the past.

No problem...its actually really simple. Click on the City if you already have one selected as I guess you do. Then click on menu > weather options > and select fahrenheit.

thanx alot
The HHC custom database pulls the data from a different weather server. During the install, this reg key is modified to redirect any requests from your phone going to htc.accuweather.com to this other server. Most likely the server is not responding.
I found this in the registry...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Hosts\htc.accuweather.com]
"ipaddr"=hex:40,3E,9E,6C
This points htc.accuweather.com to 64.62.158.108
I found this thread and it has HTC Home 2.1 there. Now the cities are added directly to the XML file (different format) and the new patched Home app reads zip codes too. I'm getting data again.
From reading thru the thread, it looks like N2A (guy running the weather server) has disabled the IP based weather server, or something to that effect. anyways, the new version and method of adding cities works for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Can someone tell me how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance.
follow the link I provided above. On that thread you will find the Schen's 2.1 Home cab install. Remove your exisiting install of home, d/l and install this new one, then follow the directions in that thread for adding your city.
I do notice that on my Weather screen it doesn't auto update until I go to it, then it takes like 15secs but I'm not gonna mess with it. Apparently I'm pretty lucky here compared to others...

that's the way it works, HTCs idea of auto is refresh when I get there, not refresh in background. no worries, it usually goes pretty fast....

I did the same thing today, and no gas prices button, as far as the voice search is a setting i believe. open live and go to settings, voice command on/off is there
the page cannot be found, check the name and try again

Use that wls.live.com address through your phone browser connected to cell data and not connected through wifi and you should be able to download it. I just tried and it works great. I didn't know what I was missing. The sattelite images look better than the google maps app. The page wouldn't load for me either when I was trying through wifi.
i only use wifi....i dont have a data plan...what happens now?
Here you go: For those of you that want gas prices back.
thanks sugar lips!
yo what the hell...lol....the reason i uninstalled it to begin with is because it stopped connecting...and i just installed it...and it still doesnt connect....i only use wifi and my pie works...and so does everything else..
I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?
the new version gives u an option to run at start up
Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now
i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous
Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..
Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe
Runs fine on my G1
if you don't know what you doing or if u move file that u don't know what they do, don't come crying here asking for help + saying that the app don't work

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen
i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.
this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!
Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.
Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.
lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

First time android user, ive had my note 3 for barely a day. Just switched from the iPhone 4s, so my switch to android has been surprising to say the least.
The spoiler below summarizes my first struggle/rant with how "amazing" android customization is.
They say android is very customizable, and it is, but what they don't tell you is that there are no good apps to do what you want to do. For example, I tried syncing my iTunes library to my android phone. Doubletwist wouldnt work because my library is in a different place than where iTunes installs normally, and it seems that iTunes only updates iTunes Library.xml instead of the iTunes Music Library.xml, so not all my music is transferred to my phone anyway. Good interface, bad performance. Right now im using the free trial of iSyncr, which works great, but has a ****ty icon/interface, with the free trial of playerpro for a music player with a good interface and the ability to change play counts and ratings so it reflects in my iTunes library. Once those free trials end, I'll have to dish out 10 bucks just to do what was native on iPhone. I understand you can drag and drop music, but im not gonna go through my entire music library every time i have to transfer over a new song (so I avoid duplicates of songs already on there), or wait 30 minutes each time to transfer my whole library over every time I want to sync (replacing my old library). Google Play is nice and all, but it doesnt keep track of play counts, and I just hate the fact that its streaming. What if I was stuck in a class that was in a brick classroom that just killed my network connectivity and provided no wifi? (I do encounter this at my university some times). Does that mean I cant listen to music?
1. What are the LED notifications? What does red mean? what is blue? what is green? My note 3 didnt come with a manual... I think my phone told me when i was setting it up, but it was a lot to take in, so i forgot some parts.
2. Are the apps with a blue circle with a white arrow on the lower bottom left corner of the apps free? or just shortcuts to buy the app in the app store? I hope they are free apps that come bundled with it, since I would love to use the sketchbook app, but I dont wanna pay for it when I can use the mobile free version.
3. I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone, but I have no clue which apps are bloatware and which ones are actually useful (besides the obvious ones that are branded with AT&T and samsung(are the samsung apps useful?). What ROM should I flash to get to stock android (and rooted since it seems like some of these roms come with root). I dont want any fancy themes or whatever, since most of the time, they suck.
4. Can I set lockscreen notifications? Or do i have to unlock my device, pull down the notifications bar, and go from there?
5. Can I customize the icons on the status bar? Like their location on the status bar (id like to have my 4g and at&t signal on the left, instead of the 4g in the middle of nowhere) or what shows up on the status bar?
6. What is the best themeing app called?
7. uhh thats all the questions I can think of now, but its only been a day. Once i start using it more, i'll have more questions, but im sure I can figure those out myself unless its a stumper.

7. How do I set my mail to automatically load images?

Instead of just sending me to google.com, is it really that hard to take 1 minute of your time, and post your own opinion? I would only be okay with this if there was a stick or something that actually answered my questions, but theres not, so stop trying to be a smartass.

No other option for more settings or how often I want my mail being checked.

thank you for your help now lol. However, some of your answers dont make sense to me. To change the icon locations in the status bar, you said hold down the icons. However when I do it, notification center gets pulled down. Im guessing I need root for this?
and I tried using the gmail app, and I do like it, I would just prefer if I could change the default inbox to be set to all mail. Any way I can do this?

It doesn't help that you're coming from a platform that doesn't want to make it easy for you to move...
I feel the same way about the streaming music services, and I tried to explain this to my roommate who works at google, and has drunk the koolaid. The impression I got from him was that we shouldn't be in places that don't have internet - and I'm all for avoiding those, but those times when I can't, I really want to be able to listen to music! At least the note 3 has a microSD card slot, so you can store lots of music on a 64GB micro SD card.
I just put all my music onto a MicroSD card and pointed Music Folder Player at it. I don't know if this will work on an iTunes library though.

What ROM should I flash to get to stock android (and rooted since it seems like some of these roms come with root). I dont want any fancy themes or whatever, since most of the time, they suck.

I don't think anyone said this already... You can't flash roms on an AT&T note3, the bootloader is locked. All we can do is root the stock rom (until someone comes up with a bootloader exploit). But you can do a lot with "just" root.
As for samsung apps being useful, probably all you want is the S-Pen related ones.
If you use the Email app (not just GMail), do not disable MyMagazine, however annoying it is; it breaks the basic email app if you do.
The apps with the circle and arrow are shortcuts to download the apps. I just checked on a few of mine, though, and they look to be free. It looks like Samsung had the courtesy not to install all of the bloatware they wanted to? Or maybe they have to pay royalties based on how many people actually install it...? (at least some of them are not samsung products)

It doesn't help that you're coming from a platform that doesn't want to make it easy for you to move...
I feel the same way about the streaming music services, and I tried to explain this to my roommate who works at google, and has drunk the koolaid. The impression I got from him was that we shouldn't be in places that don't have internet - and I'm all for avoiding those, but those times when I can't, I really want to be able to listen to music! At least the note 3 has a microSD card slot, so you can store lots of music on a 64GB micro SD card.

Thats very true, but theres also no music manager for android either. Okay well, i'll give you winamp, but honestly, i hate the look of winamp, and most of the themes/skins for it are also terrible. I tried googling for themes for the android app, and I couldnt even find any (then again, i didnt look too hard. just a simple google search).
say what you want, iTunes is a pretty good music manager for those who like to manage their music, but arnt anal about tagging. Ive found that using iSyncr and PlayerPro together have been a great substitution for the same experience as on an iPhone. Except that you CANT SET PlayerPro as your default music app. Apparently people have had issues with the same thing, and theres just no solution on how to set PlayerPro as your default app. I might try finding another music app soon if I cant figure it out, since I play my music through bluetooth in my car, and if I cant choose the songs through my cars system, theres no point.
What do you mean change songs through your car's system? Is it really too much trouble to pick up your phone and press the skip button on whatever music player is running.
And what do you mean by "default music app"? If you want to run something different than what you have, just put that icon on your home screen and open it instead.
I don't know why former iOS sheep have to make things so complicated, like" how do I get this to look/act/do the same as my iPhone "? Something sent you this side of the Isle, just embrace android for a few day whilst you learn the basics of the platform and your device.

Were you able to select the music before on your iPhone through Bluetooth? Because I would love to find what ever head unit/car you have, because my wife would love that. Only place I've ever seen seen that is if you plug in the iPhone, never though Bluetooth.
