I have the option checked to update weather automatically, but whenever I press the weather icon it says attempting to download weather data or something like that and I have to wait on it to see the forecast.
Is there a way to keep it always updated like on a certain interval so it will already be there when I click the icon to look at it?
I usually look at the weather around 3 times per day so each time i look the 2 hour window has expired and must download again.
I had the same problem...
No, it does not function in that manner. And no one has posted a way to do this.
sorry for the bump.. but did someone find a way to make this possible?
Thanks
Any way to have the Weather icon point to a different weather program?
It should be a reg fix somehow.. to make this possible
Solved the update frequency issue if you're still wondering about it.

Go to settings for HTC home weather (where you select city) and de-select autoupdate.
This has been covered in other threads.
ok gonna help you out.. here's what you do:
let it update when u click over and then once it's done click on the town name in the top left of the weather tab. It will take you to "Select City" menu. From there click Menu at the bottom right and go to "Weather Options". Once you're in there, uncheck "Download weather data automatically*"
Actually, you'll find the Auto Update is pants anyway.
Maybe it's city based, but London is never updated, so when I click on it always as to connect to update. This is on a Vario III / TMobile version of the Kaiser.
Found this on the TYTN2 as well.
So, just don't click on Weather, and you'll be fine!

I think you will find this is an operator specific problem and nothing to do with the thread question.

Oh, OK - Any more information on this?
Did T-Mobile disable this part of the HTC Menu?
Will installing a HTC Menu cab fix this?
I realise this is a little off topic, and that my answer was a cheeky swipe and not a helpful answer, but a brief come back would be appreciated.

If you cant update with your operator, no changing of the SW will fix this. Try updating the weather when you have an active WiFi or Activesync internet connection.

Sorry, I have mis-informed you.
It willl update over GPRS, but whenever I click on the Weather tab, it's blank and says "Attempting to download data..." and then connects (GPRS is already connected) and after 8-12 seconds, updates the weather.
This is despite it being set to Auto Update - hence my comment that Auto Update is "pants", and is not going to use data unless you actually click on the weather tab.........
Any idea on how to fix this are greatly appreciated.
It's not a big thing, but it's annoying.
I think it's just using a different definition of "auto update" - it isn't meant to be updating in the background, which seems to be what you're after. In fact, if it did, I suspect many more would complain!
All "auto update" means is that it will go off and get the latest weather if you click on that tab, and it hasn't been updated in the last x minutes. If you don't have "auto update" on, it won't, and you'll have to specifically ask it to.

As far as I know, that is the normal function of the auto update and thats why the originator of the thread is asking why it tries to connect to his non-active GPRS connection when he clicks on it. Auto update is not some form of regular timed update. This method prevents data access usage when you dont need it (costs money to most!).
Autoupdate updates when you select the weather icon or when you connect to the internet via Activesync, when deselected, you have to tell it to update yourself.
Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I See.
Well I know several TYTN2 / Vario3 owners who feel (like I do) that "Auto Update" should be Automatic, not when you trigger (a manual request) it by opening the tab.
I can see that for non flat rates data tarrifs this could become an issue, but then un-checking "Auto Update" would be a sensible option........
However, if that's how it's supposed to work, so be it.
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?

Don't have any custom rom. It is the stock ATT rom. I will try 1.1 and let you know.

Can the HTCWeatherMasterInstaller.CAB be used with out being cooked into the ROM?
JoeWilcox said:
Hey everyone, I kept getting frustrated that Weather Editor would often just refuse to add my cities so I wrote a new one and I'm looking for people to help me test it, especially Chefs. Check out HTC Weather Master.
Download HTCWeatherMasterForChefs.zip
Integrate it in to your ROM (I tend to put it in ExtendedPkg)
Edit a Config.txt and add: "EXEC \WINDOWS\HTCWeatherMaster.exe -cooked"

Great Program
Nice job on this program. Definitely prefer this over WeatherDatabaseEditor. I will continue to play around with it and will report any problems.
Very nice work... I have some potential suggestions from the users side for the final product...
It installs to "Tools" which was confusing for a second for me, but might be more confusing for others.
Defaultly starts up at NC, is this because thats where you are?
The Set button is cool, but I didnt know it'd wipe out my other saved cities, maybe a warning?
Again, great work... a big improvement over WeatherDB Editor which was also great!

This is great, you should add AppToDate support, 12
Am I understanding this right that I can install the cab to my Fuze and will then be able to add cities to my Weather tab that I am unable to add with the default weather settings? Is this correct? If it doesn't work for me, can I uninstall and it revert to the original weather program/settings?

Yes you can install the cab file on your Fuze. It adds cities to the weather database. You still have to go to the Weather Tab and add the location you created using Weather Master.
Excellent! Thanks for the program! I'm going to give it a try.
Okay, so I installed the cab. Installed fine. Went to Tools and ran the config program. I added my city (Batesville, AR) and it added it to the list.
However, when I go to the Weather tab, it shows my city name as Batesville, AR but it sits there...and then after several seconds will give me a connection error. I switched back to the other city I was using originally (Little Rock, AR) and it updated the weather almost immediately.
Any ideas? Is it not pointing to the right location to d/l the weather for added cities? Or did I do something wrong?

Try this. Go to Start/Setting/Today/Items and uncheck TouchFlo3D. Using Total Commander go to Application Data\HTC\databases and delete forecast_cache.db. Go back and check TouchFlo3D. Add your city and see if it will update.

I just tried it here and was able to add Batesville AR. Try removing the entry you added and readd it. If that doesn't work, send me you 2330fc3c_manila file from your windows directory so I can see what's up.

It might be a good idea to do that. After doing some reading in other threads, deleting the forecast_cache.db seems to be the solution for users having problems getting cities to update after adding them. I don't think it would hurt anything by doing it and might be a proactive way in solving issues before they pop up.
I deleted the cache, as suggested, and still nothing.
Maybe you should briefly run through the steps I should've followed to add my city? It doesn't make sense (to me) that the default cities will update but the added ones will not...I'm wondering if I missed a step somewhere. Thx.

My Location depends on many things.
First try the new radio as I am sure NRG suggests.
If it does not work over phone connection then try this.
Turn on your data and wireless connection. Sync phone to pc and then try to get your location. For some reason that is the only way I can get it to work for the first time. Every time after that works fine for me over GPRS.
