Adding new city on weather application

Hi,
I'm lookong for a weather widget to add citys not available on the HTC Hero weather application.
RucaNebas

Weatherbug might have this - I use the HTC widget with "current location". This gets the weather based on your GPS location - which although consumes the battery more, works just as I need it.

Thanks for your feedback Simon.
In fact, I would like to add a unavailable city on the current HTC Hero weather application.
I don't want to add another application.
You know what I mean?
Thanks
RucaNebas

i would like to know this to. On my Diamond i had before it was possible, i am hoping that hero could do that too

Only way I know is to visit said place and add current location to your cities. Will be there for all time then.
Not useful if you need to find the weather before you go.

well this is what I did:
open weather application
push "plus sign" (bottom right corner)
push "my location"
your location will be showing on the googlemap and you see red pin.
zoom out and find your desirable location on the map.
drag the red pin to this location and push "Done"
you get the text "finding location", then you will have this location name and coordinates displayed... now just add this location and... you have it on the weather. then update the weather and it displays your custom weather conditions with others.
... at least it works for me.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
I follow your instructions but unfortunatly weather doesn't have available data for my location.
Thanks again

well... that what exactly what it said before I pushed "update" (in the left bottom corner). at the beginning it gave me a message "no weather data available for your location"... but after update it got exactly what needed...
if not, try another location, maybe closest town or similar...

Thank you anyway.
Another location near the location that we wish, could be a solution in did.
Thanks

This option doesn't exist.

When I push "plus sign" I don't get the option to push "my location". It doesn't exist on the Hero apparently.

I remember using this method on my Hero with 1.5, after updating to 2.1 the "my location" option seems to be gone

That's right for 1.5 but "my location" option still exists in 2.1
go to parameters/location and put both options on (or maybe just GPS)
and you will see "my location" again
BUT now the problem is different : when you select your location it works great UNTIL you leave it and go to another city
then no more track of the last city, weather app didn't save it
i used this way when i wanted to save a city which was not in the list
now it's impossible
does some one a solution ?
(sorry for my english)

Weather and toggle widget does all of this, and is a ton quicker than the standard 1.5 clock/weather widget. Give it a try, it's a keeper!

We are talking about the standard 2.1 weather widget
Thanks for answer

I also find this quite disappointing. The lack of "my location" option on the 2.1 weather app. is a fail. When you get an update you should get more options and functionalities, don't you?
I think the only way to avoid this problem is to replace the new app by the old one. But I don't know if it's so easy at it sounds. Does anybody know how to do it and if it should work without any problem?

Manually set "My Location" HTC Sense 2.1

Hello,
Using sense 2.1 (rom gen.Y D2 R4/5) , "my location" always sets to Quebec, Quebec when I am actually in Montreal, Quebec. Is there any way to manually set it?
Else anyone has firgured out a fix?
Thanks.
::EDIT:: I can add Montreal as a location, it's the 'my location' tab that doesn't recognize that I am in Montreal and not Quebec.

Has this happened on any other ROM's? Also, what radio do you have?

Tried different radios with same result. This occurs on every rom I try with the my location feature.

When you say "my location" feature are you referring to google maps?
If so this may be an issue with the google maps application.
Have you tried various gps apps to see if the other apps give the same results?

Google maps reports my location properly on the map, it is the my location in HTC sense for weather/time that is incorrect. Is google feeding the data to sense?

Ah Ok! That clears that up.
No google maps has nothing to do with htc sense.
Sorry, I don't know much about htc sense. I would think someone has figured out how to edit it manually or has created a fix to point htc sense time/weather to an alternate server to give more accurate data though.

May be the problem is google maps.
Seriously, I have this same problem with my htc sense. If I travel further into London however, it seems to work, but displays the wrong location by about half a mile. But where I live it just doesnt work at all. I've manually set my location because it doesnt work.

Hmm...Is there a selection somewhere that resets/updates your location automatically? Maybe that can be switched off?

Not that I know of. If you disable the my location feature, it will still show up as "My location" but will not update.

I take it nobody has sorted this out yet from the deafening silence.
Very annoying don't have this trouble with Winmo sence on my HD2.
This is driving me and the GF wrong.

My location
Hi
so did anyone work out how to set the my location manually? Some people said they did in this thread but didnt say how?!

Hope this helps someone else....
go to world clock add your city
you have the choice of setting the clock to 'your location ' or the city ; select the city
now go to weather and make sure you have the same city set up.
this now fixed the problem where 'my location' on the home page didnt show the weather.
well it fixed it for me!

How to Set Location Manually on HTC Aria
I've finally figured out how to set my location manually on my HTC Aria. To be specific, I'm talking about the weather/time widget that comes on the middle home screen of all HTC phones. Mine is rooted, so I'm not sure if it's any different than a regular one, since I couldn't find this "set my location" button that everyone is saying is in the widget configuration.
Basically, the steps I took to set my location manually is:
First go to the screen where your clock widget is.
Tap the clock, then go into the second tab, World Clock.
Add your desired city
Go out of this screen by pressing home
Delete the clock widget
Add the widget again by pressing the + key on the bottom right, and then Widget, then scroll down to Clock and tap it.
The widget that you want is the 3rd one
Once you add that widget to the screen, it will ask you to set your location. Your location will be available only if you have it in the World Clock
Set your desired location
Essentially, you are deleting the widget and re-adding it.

Hi - I fixed my HTC weather widget issue by:

In it is there is a link so you can add your own City as well.

Hmm... I have this same issue. But I don't want to root my phone. My city (or better, village) is not in the list of cities of HTC Sense Locations. It is driving me crazy. Could anyone help me with this?
Or... How can I change HTC Sense Locations set my location by GPS and not with mobile towers?

Well, when I'm physically in my small hometown, the phone picks up where I am as "Actual Location", so I assume you are talking about when you are away on a trip? Maybe you can add a farther, bigger city? That's what I had to do.

What I'm thinking is that my village has shown as my location only two or three times. But almost always is HTC showing my location in wrong village (near to my village, but not my..) Do you know what I'm thinking about?
And I can't find my village (Velke Kostolany) in manual finding of HTC location.
Or do you know how to change setting my location by GPS and not by mobile towers?

Oh, I see. I can't say I've seen that situation. I don't think I have any ideas here.

How to I get 'My location' status to display/update?

I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

Is it possible to remove the widget on Blinkfeed screen too ? Because I had the problem on this widget. (new phone should be coming in tomorrow or the day after)

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Ah...you're onto something right there. First time I used my phone, I had this unchecked and everything was working just fine.
Then I did check this after a reset...and it wasnt working anymore. So I will make sure it's unchecked.
Thanks !

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!

Disappointed in weather apps.

I can't find a single one that actually follows your current location as you drive. Neither amazing weather hd nor weather flow do this. I've tried every weather app I can think of.

Amazing Weather HD follows me. You have to enable location services in your phone settings and the GPS location in Amazing Weather HD.
Note that the shortest interval you can set is 1 hour, so it will only update your location every hour.

Both have already been enabled. An hourly change in weather is ridiculous. I used to have updates every 15 minutes on my galaxy note 2.
Where I live, the temperature can change 15 degrees in an hour.

Go into settings within Weathermaster, click Add / Pin Live tile and at the top it has an option for current location. Pin this and you're good to go. Seems to update fairly regularly for me, although not every 15 minutes.

Had a quick look on the store and found this: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/weather-tile/1556afd5-02ff-4b63-8ba2-458dbfe0678a
Says it updates every half hour so if none of the others cut it for you, it might be worth a go.

I got amazing weather hd working before the trial ran out, then I bought it. Thanks for everybody's help. Now I'm waiting for a good music app. Using audio player right now. Really want in app playlist creation.

[Q] Pedometer widget?

Hi, is there any way to display current state of pedometer as a widget? Something like built in pedometer clock, but without the clock, and maybe with a personalized icon. Perhaps a Zooper widget?

All data for the pedometer is placed in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.pedometer/databases/pedometer.db so making a simple widget thats updated when you turn the screen on would be a piece of cake...

To read the data from the db is a simple task, to alter the info of the application is a different thing.
I´ll have to take a look in the pedemometer.apk to see if I can find any intents that support external triggering.

I´m planning to start the work of a test-version of a Pedometer widget today. I´ll post here when I got something worth testing.
Sadly I haven´t found anything usefull yet regarding the start and stopp. I concentrate to get the visual first and will digg deeper later on.

I'we done some testing with different results. Seems like the pedometer gets disturbed sometimes and stops counting until I enters the pedometer app again. But have only tested a little inside, no long walks outside so it may just be a lag in the update.
I can release an alpha just for testing purposes. I'll try to get it out tonight.

Here is a first output as a test:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9508466/WalkWidget_v0.1a.apk
Update of the count is done upon Screen on or tapping the widget.
The total is a addition of Run steps, Walk steps and something called Up & Down steps, doesn´t really know what the last is but it´s a counter anyways.
Try it and see how it behaves.

That sounds pretty awesome and I'd like to thank you for working on this.
To me the pedometer app seems really limited. I can't see what I did the day before, or how well I'm doing over all on a weekly or monthly average since it doesn't seem to return any data beyond just one day. Is that kind of a thing something you'd be willing to address maybe as part of a non-widget screen in your widget? (like tap the widget to go in to see more verbose stats)
