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.

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....

ditto, i looked into this because i was intrigued but its pointless because the wing doesnt have an internal gps. isnt there a program that works like the "my location" feature on google maps application that gets your approximate location based on cell tower locations? something like that would be more suited for the wing.
Why need an app when you can track the cellphone through this site. Work for me everytime
www.sat-gps-locate.com
Choose the country, then enter the cellphone #. Click start searching and wait for the result

Not sure why my original thread was taken down but if it was because of "warez" it's crap. Go take down every other rom (including the sprint hero dump) that's "illegally" distributing apps and EVERY single windows mobile rom.
heres the goods:
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4746727&postcount=110
Btw if any mod feels the need to pull this thread again please pm a reason to why it was pulled.
DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR THESE APPS
search around for them!!!
i believe it WAS taken down because you've kept the original provider in the app names. i'm not a mod or whoever took it down so i dont know but thatd be my best guess. i remember seeing in the previous thread, i could quote someone saying "it's just a matter of time but good job till then!" or something along those lines. good job indeed! and so glad this is back up.
with that said i have an issue with the navigator:
i have it said on full audio, but theres no TURN voices. JUST STREET names. its really accurate on the street names. and the directions are perfect. but is is just me, or is the audio missing turn direction voices????
Hey, can anyone please tell me how to remove some of the apps from here, for example the sprint TV does not work at all and I don't want to see it in my apps how to I remove it?
Also, how do you guys got past the validation thing in the NFL app?

Anything special you have to do to get the tv app to work or is there something temporarily wrong with the connection right now? thanks
Sprint TV does work...
Its has been my experience (1 whole day) that the sprint tv stops working when you take the widget off the main home page. as long as I keep the widget on the main page, my tv has been working.
try that. might take a reset, erase widget and replace, and another reset, but it worked everytime the tv stopped working. ever since I left the widget on the main home screen it has been working fine.

Tried this a couple times to no avail. keep getting "channel listing is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
edit: saw the other thread on this. moving over there.
for me what i did was simply download, install, put widget on screen, reboot, works. but use the widget to get to the app. meaning click on the widget and it should take you to the tv app. if it still doesnt work, too bad. seems to be working at different times for people, and since tmobile networks sucks sometimes, could be that. idk lol!
so should i download tv widget .apk or tv apk or both ????? just want to do it right the first time...lol

sounds like both since it seems you need the widget.
TV works. Like everyone else said put the widget on your screen. Even after I did that it took a day for the TV to start working so be patient it's worth it.
Ok just installed both apks .. put the widget on my screen so now i just wait ??? the widget did say something about hanna montana..lol but wont load any channels yet ....

To be honest once I got home I forgot all bout it. I just tried it this morning and it worked.
has anyone tried out the navigation app yet? I always get a message saying no gps data found.
I've been able to get the TV, NFL and GPS apps tow work. Just took some patience and rebooting, otherwise works great!
cm 4.0.4
NFL, NASCAR and TV are working great. Has anyone figured out how to get the navigator working? It doesn't seem to work when I am still, but if I am driving it will give me turn by turn very nicely, recalculate routes quickly and everything, but only while driving.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)
I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.
well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong
Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.
Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.
Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!
I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.
I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

The first thing I noticed was how broken the interaction was when she said "call wonton shop" and it didn't call anywhere. it just looked up the number. the first result was a teriyaki place...go figure.
the second thing i noticed was the price. $10? for real? no thanks.
Hi,
Got my LG Watch R yesterday and still sorta getting to know it, but last night around 2am, I got a notification saying "16mins to Work", despite not working and being a student and directing me to a place I've never been before.
I don't even know when or how I set this notification (if I did) or how google thought I would want to go there.
I think it may be a notification from google maps, as there is an option to navigate when you swipe to left a few times which opens google maps on your phone.
Any help would be massive appreciated.
Hi,
It's an information coming from Google Now and I never found a solution to stop it. In Google Now you can settle your Home and Work location and it works with these. Unfortunately, even if you don't give a Work location, it sometimes comes up with an info anyway... :silly:

Thanks man, seems you're right. Opened the google app and I can see it there. This is very annoying, what if you don't go somewhere everyday or you're off from work? It seems theres no way to even mess with the notification settings.
