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.
A lot of people here have problems with their windows 6.1 and GPS. It seems some people have more problems than others, but someone on this forum has found a registry setting which solves my problem. At least until I soft reset my device, this causes the registry setting to go back to standard.
I’m talking about this post:

This solution helped for me:
The problem was in the registry of QuickGPS.
I changed the region settings of my PPC to Dutch, but QuickGPS doesn’t get this settings. So I assume it’s downloading the wrong GPS information.
After I changed the following registry setting I had a fix almost immediately :
[HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region changed from -- to NL
After using GPS Test I got a fix very fast.
Using:
Kaiser
OS DCS 1.4 WM6.1
R 1.64.06.04

Believe it or not but this works for me as I live in Holland but I think this could work for everyone who has problems regarding 6.1 and GPS no matter what radio you use. All we have to find out what the region codes are.
But this is a temporary fix, as I said soft-reset causes the setting to jump back to ‘--’ again and GPS is very slow whit the fix. Is it possible to create some sort of cab file or setting to set the region setting in the registry to user settings at reboot or wake-up? Or is altering QuickGPS also possible? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

After thinking about this on my way to work, I came across the fact that since I use KaiserTweak it will set the default QuickGPS settings back, which of course has its region set to "--". So i'm assuming that's why when you reset your phone thats why it resets your settings again
XML file

Then I will look into the kaisertweak’s XML file and try to remove the QuickGPS settings and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.
edit: Okay, this does not make any difference. So we have to find a way to set the user setting on every wake-up or boot. Does anyone know how to do this?

QuickGPS runs as a service (a very annoying one if you don't disable the audio & popup and vibrate notification immediately ).
Have you killed QuickGPS via task manager before editing the registry and then soft resetting? (I use dotfred's, best task manager + utils proggie out!)
If the application is re-writing the registry constantly with the settings it started with, then that may be the reason why editing the settings doesn't work and why it also doesn't stick.
Give that a try...
Hope this helps!

Hi _Alex_,
Thanks for your input.
I did try that, but unfortunately it still does not keep the same settings.
What I did was soft reset, change registry, soft reset - Then I had noticed that it kept the settings, but then I did a complete shut down and power up and then again, registry settings were back to '--"
I'm using the standard ATT ROM and the wierd thing for me is that I used the GSP (TomTom) on Tuesday with no issues. I tried to use it today and am unable to connect at all to the GPS via TomTom, Google Maps, or QuickGPS.

But did you kill QuickGPS before editing the registry and proceeding to the soft reset? It runs as a hidden service, which is why I recommend using dotfred's task manager, because the standard HTC task manager might not show it running.

No, still did not work. But thanks for trying, and yea that task manager shows a lot of programs that you can't see running
If you use Alexs kitchen, i think you can edit the Rgu file under region to reflex where you are and cook the package back into your rom and it would always reflex the region you choose?
I've not tested it, but would a MortScript in the startup folder not do the job?
I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
Sleep (60000)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting (for Sweden), but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
Hi all, after reading numerous articles about how to fix my issue with GPS, I've managed to find a fix using the UK radio rom compatible with Dutty's 6.1 rom. What I found out was the my first lock always never locked or took forever. So, what I did was go to the registry and left the key:
"HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region" to "--"
Then for the first time, after a hard-boot, (power off/on), I had to do this once:
1. Start up GPSTool
2. Change the setting to "Warm Start" and click "open".
3. Leave the app running and open up my TOMTOM application.
4. Give it about a minute or two and then it would lock, no problems.
5. I then, exited out of TOMTOM and closed the GPSTool.
So, for the next time I need to start a GPS, enabled tool, I would just start it up and no problems, it locks right away, until the next hard-boot. Then I would do this again. Kinda stinks, but this was the ONLY working solution for now because I don't feel like flashing my phone again. I have many apps installed and it takes forever to reinstall everything. Hope this was helpful for some people. Enjoy!

Well, looks like GPSGate fixed another phone... hehe, very happy now!! Thanks all for mentioning the program!

I don't understand the link between:
- the registry key "HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region"
- and what you said about GPSTool
In the end how do you solve the problem with the region ?
Chris
The GPSTool is built into the Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Don't get that confused with the GPSGate application. They are two seperate apps.
In order for this to work, I set had to set my the registry entry "region" from "US" to "--". The full path location is listed above. I think when I ran the QuickGPS utility, it set my region to "US" in the registry. You will have to regedit it back to "--" then try what I did, or it may not work. It didn't for me until I changed it back to default, which is "--". I remember reading somewhere here that a "warm boot" was clearing the RAM within the GPS hardware, so I played around with the idea of it running, while starting up a GPS enabled application and got it to work.
But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem, without having to run the GPSTool method. Note that I got a quicker lock, after regediting the region area back to "--" and running the GPSGate application. Usually the first lock would never happen or take well over 10 min. Now, the first lock is with 1-2 min. which is fine for me and every subsequent time I need to use a GPS enabled application, it would lock right-away, within seconds, until the next hard-boot (power off/on). Hope that clears things up a little.

Do you still have the problem after you uninstalled IGO8, because it can cause your phone to change the time according to your IGO8 settings everytime you launch IGO8.
I am on my 2nd "Energy ROM" this one is Leo 2.5 -
The weather clock wont work, and when i go to weather, the my location tab says weather data is unavailable.
I would be fine with just manually selecting the location displayed on the weather clock. Can anyone help?
Best if you post this in the EnergyROM thread. The mods will just close the thread.
oh sorry, im a newb.. didnt know exactly where would be the best place to put it
Mods - feel free to mvoe/delete this

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.
