Database Develop

HTC Weather

Has anyone yet found a fix for the issue of the weather not displaying for certain uk cities, I have searched the forum but no answer found
You can find the weather in the app sometimes for my city but other times you get no data found
If you successfully configure the weather app the widget never picks up the correct details. and after a couple of minutes the app itself no longer remembers the details you previously correctly configured and it displayed
sometimes you will get a temperature but no cloud images etc
Any ideas anyone
cheers

Brother is on Sprint and was wanting to add his city as well. The nearest stock city is 90 miles away.
I know how to add them on my Sprint TP2 courtesy of xda but haven't had the opportunity to discover Android just yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is option "my location" on the top of the list of cities which opens map view where you can select almost what ever location you want.

After much research
found that
To have it set to current city causes an issue when there are multiple phone masts in your area changing between masts in a close area causes the update to fail
Solution to remove all pre-configured cities, remove current location and add a permenant location for your location, I found that unless you city was top of the list it would fail as well

Simmple Google Maps Navigation question ...

Hi Experts,
just a simple question as to Google Maps Navigation:
I'm running still CY 4.0.4 and Google maps already shows me routing form A to B during a ride supported by GPS.
Is this the already and everywhere discussed and beloved - by Google announced - navigating functionality ... (and how did it come on my G1 then ???) - or what is still wanted in addition to let the G1 become a "real" navigator ????
I thought (reading all the heated discussions) that the whole world is still waiting (particulary in Germany for example) for Google navigation to become reality ...?
Regards

well if you go to the market you can install the new version of google maps (which you may have done) which has the navigation feature

Navigation is available for the G1, but it is US only right now. I believe there is a work around in the development section. You might check there if you are in Germany.

get yourself updated to latest cyanogenmod dude.

to answer the OPs original query - The "navigation" your seeing is the default google maps one where it shows you how to get from A to B using the GPS. The one everyone is raving about at the moment is an addition to that which enables voice navigation and the maps to be viewed from a different angle (i.e it now acts like your standard sat nav / TOMTOM device). having tried it out its pretty crap to be honest - the voice commands arent very clear and is quite robotic.

i disagree, for a beta its pretty damn good, only a few times has it even mispronounced road names. its had my location pinpointed really well and updates the route well when you go a different route. it shows gas stations and food on the roads as well as banks. and it has alternate route choices as well. im very impressed with this beta launch and cant wait til they begin to integrate other stuff. ie: id love to see gas buddy so you can see the prices of the stations before you pull off.
only thing i wish it did is for voice search to respond to the "navigate to"command like it does on the droid.

SOLVED - changing your android market to a different country

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.

the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!

installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?

Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.

boing - er bump !

You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much

Ive been looking for this for months!!! works great, in canada, on vogue, bell network

Wrong thread. Please, delete this post.

Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.

Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?

We got a problem Hustom
Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,
Dan

City not listed in Weather app

Trying to decide whether to move from my Fuze to an Aria and there are some loose ends I want to tie up.
Is there a way to put cities not found on the Weather app on it?
Thanks, in advance.

There doesn't appear to be; at least not without some form of configuration file hacking (and even then, I'm only guessing it's possible).
When you setup the phone, it figures out where you are, based either on GPS or WiFi. The GPS option is more exact (and I'm guessing the location moves as you move), but it also consumes more battery.
The WiFi option determines where you are, based on the location/ISP of the most recent WiFi network that you accessed. When I set it up for the first time this morning at my home in South Berwick, ME, it came up with Rollinsford, NH (a bordering town) as my location.
So you essential get one "custom" weather city that's tied to your location, and a number of preset weather cities that you can choose from to flesh out the Weather app.
The locator is "exact enough" for my tastes. YMMV.

Google Now not talking back anymore

For some reason the Google Now is not responding with Voice anymore.
I have the English US as language and Google Now set to Always Speak.
Does it work for you?
Also very often I receive on search messages like "Can't load search results" and "Retry"
My device is rooted and S-Off not sure if it matters.

Getting exactly the same behavior. No speech at all, and much more frequent errors when I search (about 1 in 5 times I get a "Can't display results' type screen.
I have a stock standard Nexus 4, no root.
I have tried changing language setting to English US, always speak is ON, volume is up, etc.
So annoying...

It started to work again after changing the language from English US to something else and revert back to English US, text to speech to Ivona then back to Google, Google now off then on, always speak to informative and then back to always.
After doing all these it started to talk back.
Unfortunately I did all these at the same time so I don't know what exactly triggered the "fix". Or maybe nothing, maybe was an issue with Google servers...?

Don't really use Google Now but tried it today and it wasn't working, kept showing me a 'Retry' message and had no speech output. So maybe this can help.
Have language set to English US. I unchecked the Search on Google.com local domain setting from Google Now > Settings > Privacy & Accounts. Works fine now. If I check it again, it stops working obviously.

I have that unchecked, too. Maybe this was the issue.
But I'm surprised in the past the talk back feature worked only with the Google. Com serves and not with the local ones.

I have another problem, but similar.
My Asus Transformer TF300TG talks when I ask "who is..." or something similar.
But anything location based? No.
When I ask "Do I need an umbrella?" It shows me results for it, no card, no talking.
When I ask "Where's the nearest McDonald's?", it again shows me search results, no map like before.
When I ask "Do I need an umbrella in Belgrade?" then it speaks.
So I thought my location services are off or something - no, they work just fine. And when I turn on Google Maps, my location is right there.
I think it started when I was at my brother's in Bosnia... the clock started tripping there... for instance, I say "Wake me up in 4 hours" and it sets the alarm in 3 hours, like it's thinking I'm in another time zone, while the clock is set normally and works normally. I think since then, since I came home, it's tripping...
Anyone any ideas what to do?
I repeat, anything non-location based works fine.

Getting Google Now to Talk Back on HTC One M8
In order to have Google Now talk back I went into Settings > Language & keyboard > Text-to-speech output > Google Text-to-speech Engine > Install voice data > English (United States) > Female (high quality). After the download completed and installed Google Now speaks back to me now.
