How to get more local weather locations (Australia) - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Newbie to this forum, this will be my first post! BUt have been reading ALOT of threads to get myself comfortable with flashing my HTC Touch Diamond 2, many thanks to all who make the 'first time flashers' threads.....very helpful!
My problem is this, does anyone know how I can change the weather (the HTC sense one) so that it displays a more localised location?
I presume it uses a US website for its database, and unfortunately the nearest city to me that it picks up is about 300km away, and the weather differs greatly to my location.
I live in Australia, and the major weather websites (bom.com.au & weatherzone.com.au) have data for the city I live in (so its not like where I live doesnt have any weather data).
I have read on another thread (for the sony xperia) that people were using data from the weatherzone.com.au site, so was wondering if it would be possible to do so with WinMobile on a HTC device.
So does anyone know if I can change the database that the weather info comes from?
thanks

Didn't try it yet, but maybe this helps:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 JVH3 Weather City Editor - Version 3.5 | updated 3/15/2010

solved - sorry all, I think I was either completely braindead, 'my location' was working perfectly.....I just did not recognise the nearest town that it had selected, (fairly new to the area), and the town it chose is across the river and not one that is familar.
Apologises to all......
FIRST POST............FAIL!!!

Giving this a big kick 'cause I'm having the same problem. No options show up when setting up the weather, and Select and the Menu-options won't work either.
I'm connected to the internet via Wi-Fi by the way.

Have u guys tried installing a newer version of HTC HOME?
font problems
Ronen, you being Israeli, i suppose you have hebrew installed.
Disable it, soft reset, and set the weather location. then enable the hebrew again.
Worked for me. Mine is set to Netanya now.
Not working for me either. I tried using HHC 0.8b and 1.0 with no luck on several cities in my area. Running version of HTC home in Schaps 4.3 rom.
I remember you used to have to edit the weather database with notepad to add your city then copy back to ppc. Doesn't work either. I disabled the weather tab and am using xcast.
Try going to http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
I also had to manipulate my connection settings - but that only applies to media net in the USA - I had to disable the proxy and in my Work connection, tell it to connect to the internet
GuyGush- you are a genious!!!
Disabled the additional language and was able to choose NYC for my city!
Thanks

HTC Home Weather and Quickdial
I solved problem with my German MDA Vario II:
With HHC software I changed the default language of HTC Home. After that everything started to function! It was so easy, byt I looked everywhere for days without finding this anywhere.
Hope it will solve the problem with all other HTC users.
Find this software: HHCv10Final.CAB

HTC Weather fix for HTC TYTN II

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Found this, decided to share...

Hi Nadavi,
Thanks for your info But, could you explain in very short sentences, what is the problem with the original HTC Weather plugin from the TyTn II ?
The problem with the original HTC weather program is you can only get weather for major cities or sometimes a city 25 miles from where you live or are.
I live in a small city in the bay area and the only weather I could get was SF or Sacremento, two totally different geographic areas which had nothing to do with where I live.
Something like weatherpanel is great because you can get weather based on zip codes, which are great for travellers or vacationers.
This fix basically gets you more options for localized weather.
Does the original weather plugin have Ottawa, Canada as an option?

HTC Home Weather + Vista Sync

Hi All
Just starting out with my Kaiser and have a complaint which is not directly related to the Kaiser. Why can I not synchronise my Kaiser with the new applications "Windows Calendar", "Windows Contacts" in Windows Vista using the Windows Mobile Device Center? Very annoying. Have had a quick look around and it really seems as though it's not possible. Apparently, I need to be buy Outlook. Very, very annoying. Has anybody heard whether Microsoft are going to fix this or if someone's working on a 3rd party app to do this?
2nd major gripe is the Weather section of HTC Home. Used to use SPB Weather on my old Wizard but really like the HTC Home Weather; big weather icons etc. Bit annoyed that it can only hold weather for one city at a time but my biggest issue is that is only seems capable of using the American site Accuweather. I'm in the UK and the ability to use, say the BBC's weather would be much better. AccuWeather doesn't seem to be very accurate for UK weather. Does anyone know of a way around this?
Thanks and regards,
J

I with "J" on this one I would like to be able to display UK weather
Outlook (v2003 I believe) should be on the CD that came with your phone.

Newbie question activating Home HTC

Hi all,
I have an o2 xda mini-s and yesterday saw a mate who has one which was running HTC Home and looked really smart.
I have spent the morning reading the forum and other articles but although I have downloaded the HTC Home configeration programme and can set that I dont have the HTC Home option on the Program - settings - today - item page.
I am using wm5 if that helps everything i downloaded went to the device and default location was that the right thing to do?
If anyone can help me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
There are two files you need to download and install if you want to have HTC Home - and customize the home view.
There is the HTC Home, and the HTC Customizer cabs - did you install both ??
Hi Bill,
So far I have downloaded hhcv10final.cab and also htchome6.cab are their any other files i need?
Paul
I think the problem may be the WM6 file you downloaded
I've posted a link to the site where the version for WM5 can be downloaded. I've had no issues running this version
The only other thing I can think of is did you soft reset after installation ??
Here's the link - give the 1.5 version for wm5 a shot
Good luck

Brilliant - thanks that has worked amazing what happens when you download the right file

Uk rom 2.07.401.1 (80303) wwe, sense 2.5.20121225

Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Had TP2 for 11 months. It died and HTC replaced the entire main board.
It came back with WM 6.5 and HTC 'SENSE' 2.5.20121225.
The phone in un-branded, O2 network.
I have been searching on here for couple of hours for a ROM thread etc relative to mine???
The main things i would like help on are.
1. The default weather program. It sucks. The old one on touch flow 3d was accu weather and that could be hacked. I think this one uses google location???
When my phone was first switched on it used googlew location to pick my location up and set the weather to perth, perthshire...correct. Then about an hour later it changed to 'Torbay'...WTF???. I cannot seem to reset the weather location to Perth, UK...when u go to add a city...guess what...my location isnt listed?
Does anyone know anything about the weather on Sense ?
2. On 6.1 i changed the colums to 4 wide and added the 64 program locations(tweaks from here)
Is there a cab/tweak for sense 2.5?
3. On the new 'lock screen' where all the apps are can you change the order they appear...it seems very basic...help???
Any help on this HTC Sense UI would be helpful
