Hey Guys, looking for some help please.

Thanks

I have to update mine manually most times. I've had a quick look at trying to change the widget to just a clock because I don't need the weather bit

Remove it then put it back on

I had a similar problem in the beginning. Make sure some Google location services are on and also untick the fast boot option... Both of these are in so e sort of settings screens. Then restart
Don't know why, but this helped me.

I had tried everything and was to give up and take it back to the store for an exchange until i got to town and realised it had fixed itself, coming back home, it had changed back to united kingdom, guess it's just my house. Thanks a lot for everyone's help !! Xda has a great community

Do someone has this problem with HTC HOME in a ATT TILT

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.

Add me to the "it's not working" list.

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....

HTC Weather

I wonder if any one else if having the same problems as myself with the weather app on the Hero. It also seems to effect the widget on the homescreen as well.
The first place in the list always seems to be the current city which is great if it works. I am forever getting 'No weather data available' although if I add my city manually it gets the five day forcast no problem.
The problem is that now I am in the same city I added manually the 'current city' overwrites the one I added manually and returns the same'No weather data available'.
This bug only seems to effect the area I live in but seems to work as it should in other parts of the country.
Any one else in Reading (UK) having the same issue?
I have tried a hard reset and even played with the settings out of town to see if that would help
I'm in Edinburgh and having the exact same issue, as are several other people in this city. I've heard people in various locations across the country complain about the same thing.
I've not come across a solution yet, I think it will have to be in an update from HTC.
yup, same in Cambridge.
Same here. If I select "Rearrange" I now have multiple entries for Cambridge...

Same here in the uk, the widget and application never seem to match up - finds city on one but not the other. Plus the add your city screen in the setup(s) is very tempromental and sometimes does not let you select or even recognise your existing ones.
Further to that the weather / clock widget responds to quickly to a touch so when you swipe the home screen (if you have the clock / weather clock in primary position) it opens the options dialog instead of moving spaces.
I removed the htc clock and weather widgets because of the above problems. I like the "bling" that they bring to the interface but in real life I can turn my head and look out of the window quicker than I can pick up and press the power button on the handset.
I'm in Edinburgh, same is happening :{
It was working fine in Aberdeen, and when I came to Edinburgh it detected that and showed weather ok.. until I rebooted...
I'm in Darlington, and am having the same problem which is really begining to annoy me.
Has anyone actually complained to HTC about this bug? It seems to affect the HD2 too.
I gave up with HTC weather widgit and use Snowstorm weather widget available from the market, gets the weather where ever I am in the UK all the time.
Hi I am from Macedonia and I have the same problem...
The widget on the home screen displays other city when I chose current location... And I love this widget... I am in pain!!!
So far no solution...
I have MDA Mail too... And back then my city was not on the list...
So I did search around in the windows directory and found a txt file
containing the list... Soon enough i found that the codes listed are
the same as the ones used on Accuweather.
So i edited the file and than I was able to select my city...
But the app said that it was unable to get the condition
for my city.
So i give up...
I think that maybe the problem does not lies in the widget it self.
I had the same problem. Just delete the widget and add it again. Go to Add to Home (+) button -> HTC Widget -> Clock.... And just choose the one you want with the weather app. It worked for me
same here
I currently have the Eris.... vzw's hero... and same issue im in the usa it always displays weather when im home or out but when im home it shows me weather for a town 45 miles from my house, i came to this phone from HTC Imagio(whitestone) and Touch Pro 2(rhodium) and same issues on those phones seems to be an HTC bug and not carrier specific.
PS.. have deleted and reinstalled works fine till first update.... i ahev tried both cell location and gps, cell location only, and gps only..
remove the clock widget and re-add it and then when it asks you to set your location dont use the gps fix (my current location), just pick your city from the list or search for it.
Its not a fix but assuming you stay in one place it at least means the weather report shown will work
Hello. Had the same problem with 'No weather data available' in the HTC weather. I have freshly flashed the EnergyROM_21889_BLACKSTONE_20.Jan.2010_StandardM2.5_MaxManila to my HTC HD. It would not refresh via GSM HSDPA Internet connecion, but when I switched to WiFi network Internet, it worked! Then switched back to 3G Internet and still works as it should. As if HTC weather referred to wrong connection at the very startup. Hope this will help some of you.
Go to Weather Tab>Menu>Enable My Location
If you're lucky it will show the weather of your current location and otherwise it won't.
Sorry for my bad english,
I'm from the Netherlands, actually Indonesia, but who cares,
Goodbye!

this worked. I switched to Wifi and clicked update and it downloaded the data. I then turned Wifi off and now it still updates.
I've got exactly the same problem as the guy in the first post on my HTC Desire. I also live in Reading and the weather doesn't work using current location, but works fine when I have added Reading manually. It's really annoying because I'd prefer the widget to use my current location rather than always Reading.
had the same problem, on polaris. solved.
as someone here said, i let it connect via wi-fi and since then all ok.
very odd...
but hey, it works!
cheers

Weather Widget update

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to make the Accuweather widget to update the location automatically ?
I come from a Note 2 which widget automatically updates its location, and it is something I lack.
Of course the possibility to pickup something from the Play Store remains but still I would be keen to use
the genuine apps.
thx !
I would like to know this too! Cant get it to update location

Ditto, I like the weather widget would like to stick with it. Anyone?

On my one you click on the app which makes the settings appear in the top right corner, then you can set it to use your location every half hour, you also have to allow location services in phone settings.
Edit...
Ah ok I see what you're saying, after coming to work my phone still says my old location and I've been here more than half an hour, but even then it's not exactly accurate.

Thank you for your reply. I have already done that. the weather forecasts and trends are updated every hour (it's the way I have set it up) but not the location.
The Sony-built-in News/Weather widget allows this, by the way. There is Accuweather and then there is "News & Weather". See if that works for you.

yes I'll give it a try !
Even if the Sony widget is quite ugly !
Indeed, the Sony widget is updating its location. I'm going to stick with it a bit.

Weather help

I've been looking for answers to this question and can't seem to quite find a solid answer. I am trying to get the weather to display on my Gear. When I try to go to the weather app on the watch I am told to select a city on the phone, which I have. If I use the weather clock face it says no weather info. After clicking on that it then tells me to turn on use current location under gear manager>weather. I have messed with the weather widget and turned on all location settings but it just will not push the data to the gear. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW I am running stock gear on a Note 2 with Sky Note 4.3 ROM.
I'm having the same problem on SkyNote 4.3. Anyone know how to fix this?
OP where are you selecting the city? It may be different but for me I had to go into location services and enable it.

I selected the city from the stock weather widget. I have all location services on and use current location checked in the weather widget settings.

[Q] Stock Weather App

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.

If you give us the name of the city...
Town is called Bad Dürkheim.

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.
