When I first got my phone it was showing the name of my location. Over the weekend I visited a friend a few miles from me, and it was showing as "my location". Even now having returned home it is still displaying (my location) where as before it gave the name.
What do I need to do for it to show the name of my location??
I have gAby advice would be appreciated as I am at my wits end.
Cheers.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
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....

Anyone know of an app that can SMS my phones location using cell information This would be useful for keeping track of my kids or. finding my phone when I get dunk and leave it in a friends truck again.

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

Choose the country, then enter the cellphone #. Click start searching and wait for the result

Just checking if its like this in the US.
I am in Canada and where it should display the next road to turn on it just displays 'unnamed road.'
However, once I turn on said unnamed road, it then displays the name of it, so it isn't like google can't find the name of the road.
Just wondering if this is normal with anyone else, I couldn't find an answer to this in this forum.
Thanks.

This is a known issue on the International Nav hacks.
How did you get google nav to work in Canada? Mine keeps saying "No route found"

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

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!
Hi, wondering if someone can help me.
I am trying to add a city to the standard weather app on a HTC One Mini 2 using the "Search for more Cities online" feature. The city/town is in Germany. The other 3 HTC's in my household(2 Desire X's, and 1 Sensation) can all find this city, but not my Mini 2. I've tried clearing the Cache/Data settings on the Weather App, but this doesn't help. I have Fastboot turned OFF under Power Settings.
Has anyone any other ideas as to what I can try, or what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

yep mine not showing either. have you tried using current location from settings?
type Germany (deutschland if in German language) instead and you'll see all available city's.
in last resort you can use "Kaiserslautern" just on the neighbourhood
I'm not in Germany, I just wanted to add the town to my weather app. At least now I know its not something I'm doing wrong, its the phone. Strange the other HTC list this town, and not the newer version of the app on the newer phone....
Thanks for checking.
