HTC Weather Widget - set update frequency to hourly?

Hello,
I am enjoying the Hero builds but I have a "request" at anybody who can help me/us:
I would like to use the HTC weather widget but it does not seem to update for about 4 hours or more.
It would be great when it would update hourly so I would not have to start the weather app which always delays the loading of the home screen so I have a lag about 10 or more second ...
Is it possible to change the update frequency somewhere in the app?
Do you know why there is always the com.htc.dcs.impl & com.htc.dcs.stock running when using the weather widget?
Would be really great if you could help me with this update thing, thank you.

Why dont you just update it manually? I think on the bottom of the weather widget if you click on the little bar it should update. I cant be 100% sure on this cause I'm on cyan 3.6.5. Please someone with hero correct me if im wrong.

neone notice tht the flip clock widget is only slow when weather is enabled..so when u install hero n u got no wifi its without weather so its fast....neone know how to make it flip clock w/o weather ?

Yes, you are right when you use the biggest widget which needs a full homescreen.
But when you use the two smaller widgets (I have it on to left at my main homescreen) there is no button for update - so the only possibility is to change the config somewhere I think?

Has really no one any idea?

I believe the only to have the flip clock with out weather is to not have the weather set up for your location. Correct me if I am wrong. I have seen the clock without weather after using the hero roms and was puzzled because I had no weather. I set it up and it appeared. The opposite thing should work for you.

i think the only way to get the flip clock without weather is to not have your clock set up
let me elaborate
when u select the clock app you have cities set up right?
like i have atlanta on there
and then u also have the timzone clock and the extra clock i always have that shows up which is gay but w/e back on topic
when u select the flip clock from htc widget screen it asks u to select a city
if u select current city (not an actual city name) the weather wont show up on the clock
thats the only way i can get the clock without weather
hope it helps :-D

JUST install the weather widget from the market it contains the clock from hero and the weather...works on the Cynaogen build...1.49 from market but works good...

I think when you press the current city it looks for your location

yes, but I know how the weather is at my current location - also it does not update automatically ...

if you want a flip clock without weather, try retro date (and clock) from market

Maybe it works like the flip clock/ weather widget. When I wanted to change the frequency (update interval) the only way I could find was to drag the widget to the trash bin and then re-launch it from the home screen (like most widgets) then it asks for location and update frequency like a fresh install.

hmm - the HTC Weather or flip clock widget does not ask for the frequency ... I think it must be in the file / apk - but where & how?

I'm looking for a flipclock without weather on it as well....

Solved the update frequency issue if you're still wondering about it.

[Q] What are your must have widgets?

After some searching, it didn't seem there was a thread simply discussing great homescreen widgets. I'll be getting my first Android tablet tomorrow, so I'd love to hear what widgets you've found the most useful on the G Tablet. What can't you live without?

Launcher Pro widgets are awesome, very similar to HTC Sense widgets.

Did you buy the full version? Hows the calendar widget. I have yet to find a better calendar widget that works for me like the HTC Sense calendar widget.
Can you post a pic of the largest caledar widget Launcher Pro has?
Thanks,
Scott

You do have to buy launcher pro to get widget access but its cheep and worth it. Launcher pro has 3 or 4 sizes to chose from. If you plan on rooting the Vegan 5.1 rom has a calander widget that is full screen and works amazing.

If you setup LP 8 columns x 5 rows the Widgets fill about half the screen. The calendar widget is very nice, it's not an exact clone of the sense version but pretty close. Gotta pay to unlock the use of the widgets.

Jorte is a great calendar program, with a superb tablet widget. Sync to Google calendar and the widget can display a full month, with daily detail(!), not just icons. I love it.

I just grabbed the full version of Launcher Pro Plus. Very worth it! The transitions (cube, rotate, flip and shrink) are very cool.

News
I can't seem to find a good news widget that is in column format and updates about 8 news items on my screen at once. News and Weather and GoodNews aren't working for me. Does anyone use one that they like?

And to avoid hijacking the thread, the main widgets I use are:
~LauncherPro Calendar
~TweetDeck (though the default Twitter and Facebook widgets are not bad)
~Sense Analog Clock Dark
~ScoreMobile
~Bookmarks

I use the launcher pro Widgets and typoclock permanently on the screen. If I'm listening to music I put the mixzing widget on the screen.
I'm going to check out jorte now though.

I tried Jorte (which I use and love on my phone) on the g-Tab, but the text was all fuzzy... I suppose I need to play around with the settings a bit. Anyone have settings that work well..?

Pulse is great. It's not a Widget but does a good job at what you are looking for.

Give Pulse a try. You can Add/remove different news sources and have many of them at once on your screen.

My choice is the 3D Digital Weather Clock from Factory Widgets, giving you time, date, weather, week number, battery and moon phase at a glance.
Tapping hours and minutes opens app of choice (in my case Alarm Clock Plus and A HIIT Interval Trainer).
Tap weather for 5-day forecast, left corner for system status and right corner for app settings.

What he ^^^^^ said :good:
HD Widgets running on your choice of launcher (Nova is my favourite). I don't understand why anybody would want to stay on the stock ROM which is fixed to a 4x4 grid - looks butt-ugly on a screen the size of ours.
HD Widgets plus the HDW: Icon Pack for Tablets - only costs a couple of pounds and looks sweet.

Yeah got that problem too google doesnt seem to have the answer

[Q] Missing Weather Clock Widget

Hi all,
I am kinda new to the forum and have a question. I have searched the internet and this forum as well but still have not found an answer, so I am hoping someone can explain to me what I have done wrong or what I can do to correct the wrong.
I am currently on version 4.4.2 and Sense 6. My Blinkfeed was never enabled and I always had the Weather clock widget up on the home screen. Today I decided to remove it to try another one from the widget section, but I am now unable to choose any of them, I can still add other widgets, just none of the clocks, or weather clock ones. All that happens is I would choose one the widgets, they ask me to select a city, and then nothing happens the home screen comes up blank.
Has anyone else ever experienced this or know how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

You need to set Blinkered as the Home Screen.

Hi,
Thanks for replying, when I got the phone blink feed was never on, I have turned on blink feed and yes I do see the weather clock widget on there, but I am still unable to add it back to other screens, and I would prefer not to have blinkfeed on.

I contacted HTC support today, and was told with Sense 6 if you delete the clock widget you wont be able to re add. I think that is #%$&^# but anyhow I did a factory reset and everything is back to normal again now.
