HTC Home Weather unable to retrieve data - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Lately when I try to get my weather using HTC Home weather the program attempts to download the weather but then displays a message stating it is unable to retrieve data for selected city. It does this using the default database and custom db. The program used to work fine the suddenly started doing this. I didn't change any settings or anything like that either.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I figure something with Accuweather website changed and HTC home needs to be updated but I can't figure out how . I search of the forums and didn't find anything. I can however still go to Accuweather on the phone's browser and get the weather.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was going to say, sounds like you've been using my old IP accuweather translator. You mention "custom DB" - does that mean you were using a home customizer program?
I no longer support the IP method for weather translation.

Hi, This is my first post and I hope that you guys can help me. I have the HTC home weather loaded into my ROM. Everything worked great up until a week ago. Now I am no longer able to pull weather data via my wireless connection. I get the "unable to retrieve" error. I am however able to pull the weather data when connected via activesync. Any ideas?
Thanks

So some one else is having trouble also
Glad I'm not the only one.
N2A: I'm using whatever HTC weather component vp3G placed in his ROM, nothing else.
For some reason I am now able to get weather using cities in the default database again but still not able to get my custom db weather
Thanks to those who have taken the time to read post and respond

weather widget

mine has stopped updating for the region I live in but works fine for the cities that it has installed. It is coming up with a message "No weather data available", it was working fine until today ???
Just wondered if anybody was having the same problem ???
Cheers
Dave
I am in Cleethorpes at the moment and have tried a reboot
But London, Paris etc all work ???
Weather app for current location is kind of flakey, sometimes it displays mine sometimes it doesn't.
I changed my weather widget to show a set location by removing it and then adding it again so that it always shows the weather near me.
Apart from it thinking one of the places I am in is somewhere else with the same name 15-20C warmer it's been working fine on my phone.
Also see: Bug in weather widgit?
Does anybody know how to ask for threads to be merged?
I received my phone on 29th, and I too haven't been able to update current location on widget from day 1 but other cities can be updated. It too says the same message of "No weather data available"!!
maybe simply all the services havent been launched yet since the desire officially isnt out yet?

[Q] Has Anyone Had Problems with the HTC Weather Widget Showing the Wrong Location?

Has anyone had a problem with the HTC Weather Widget not showing the correct location?
Mine used to work quite well (updating to different location as I moved around) and all of a sudden it got "stuck". Now it just shows one particular town no matter where I am.
I tried removing and re-adding the widget, turning on GPS, rebooting, updating roaming towers, etc and nothing seems to work. I did some googling and other people have reported it with the Incredible and a couple other HTC devices but no real solution. I am running the Virtous Rom but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Anybody have any ideas?
Does it say 1/2 or 1/1?
If it says 1/2 or 2/2 then swype up and down and it changes locations.

Ah no i mean the "current" location that is suppose to be automatically selected based on what I guess is the local cell towers.
Basically the one that is 1/2.
Had that and fixed it
I had it happen seemingly by itself until I realized I had been messing with a few things to try to max battery life. Tap the weather, go to it's menu, hit settings and see if update automaticlly is checked. If not then check it and back up and hit settings again and see if it unchecked itself cause thats what mine did. If so then you must go to phone's settings, accounts and sync, turn on background data, auto sync, and weather. All fixed. Check Your update interval and make sure it is often enough as well. Hope it helps.
Been looking everywhere on how to fix this, Finally got the right answer, big thanks to madman34
Random
I'm glad you found a fix. I do notice sometimes (a couple times since I bought my DInc) that I get random weather locations like, Japan. This is probably more of a network/gps error and not the actual weather app itself.

Weather widget doesn't update location

Hi guys.
My HTC One X stopped updating locations in the HTC weather widget even though it is checked in the menu and there is WIFI connection.
Any Ideas guys?
Google location services must also be turned for that.
Nop... That's on as well
Don't worry about it just yet. The HTC locations service misbehaves sometimes. It might come back.
If you wanted to, you could clear the data from the weather and location service apps and reboot and see if it starts working after a while.
Are you having this issue at the time i am writing this?

He wrote it 11 hours ago.
Yeah... i asked this because i was having this issue since yesterday but it seems to be working fine since last 3-4 hours.
Thanks guys,
I'll try it know... It just bothers a bit when it doesn't update...
Hi,
I seem to have the same or a similar problem. If I keep GPS turned off then my location gets reported correctly on the weather widget. However, if I turn on GPS for locations then it gets messed up and changes to "Current location".
The only way to get it to recover is to stop the HTC Locations service and clear its data. Then reboot the phone.
This is a real pain as I use the GPS quite a lot for mapping etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this happening in the first place?
Thanks.

Chk thi out buddy..mit work for u as well..worked for my HTC OneV..though location sercive still is an issue...
anyways go thru this..
1. I changed the app to home location. And of course it said home location was set until I got to the main screen where it still had an old location where I traveled to a few days earlier.
2. I took out the battery turned power back on. Still same problem.
3. Then I pressed down and held my weather clock widget on my main page and dragged it to the garbage.
4. Went to the main screen, found and empty spot and held down for the widgets to appear.
5. Scrolled to the clock widget, chose the weather clock combo again.
6. Chose my home location.
7. Looked at the main screen and WHOALA! It was working again.
8. Note that in my situation I did not have to uninstall the app.
another alternative...
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Then go to 'All' and scroll down to 'HTC Weather sync provider'.
Select 'Clear Data'.
Then Select 'Force Stop'.
Then go to your home screen and restart the weather app by tapping under the time and then update the weather. The weather should now be available on the homescreen.
Anyone else having problems with the HTC weather not syncing recently?
I've recently had trouble with using Google as the provider for Beautiful Widgets. It's fine since changing to Accuweather!

I don't suppose this will apply to yours; but I have a rooted sensation, and I decided that the "HTCLocationsWidget3d.apk" was surplus to requirement.
This is needed for the weather; upon reinstalling the file the locations updated correctly.
Hello
I am facing the same problem as ppl described here and all over the android and htc forums. None of this works for me. Or no. It works for couple of hrs, a day maybe and then again goes back to Current Location.
The interesting thing is when the weather stop to update my location, facebook wont find me also. But Sygic works fine, Google maps also. Having this in mind I can say that my GPS works fine. So the problem is in HTC/Google things.

Don't know about voice assistant bug as I use it but Chrome syncs up just fine. I see all my bookmarks, history, and tabs. Maybe try logging out of Chrome on your desktop and logging back in. And maybe the same thing for your phone.

Ever since I updated to Android 7.0 I was unable to use file transfer or ADB. This has to do with my phone for sure. Not the drivers on my PC.
My Wifi drops and reconnects whenever I take the phone out of my pocket and open an app that uses data. My data usage has gone up significantly with the Wifi drops. Appears there's others having problems on google product forums with no workaround at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

Chrome works for me but what weather widget are you talking about, I don't have any weather widget on my phone except for the New & Weather ones.

One of possible fixes I can think of is to open your wifi settings and look for "Keep WiFi on during sleep". If you had set it up correctly before update it shouldn't change but who knows.
If above doesn't help, I think the problem is located somewhere in system files but other than searching for it, I suggest you to do a full wipe and clean install

It appears 4x1 for me, just remember that the phones screen is 5x5 so even 4 can't fill it completely

I'm experiencing the same problem and I'm not the only one. Do a search on 'nougat wifi problem' and you'll get several hits. Unfortunately, no real solutions. Google advises a reset to factory settings, but that doesn't help everybody. They also tell to reset network settings. This does seem to help me, but when I start manually adding/saving networks and I hit 12, I will loose all visible networks and when I turn WiFi off and on, the device keeps on scanning for networks.
An "issue" (221056) was opened at code.google.com/p/android, but it's been more than 2 weeks and Google still hasn't resolved the situation...
Added a new bug on first message
Weather widget bug solved
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature but it actually annoys the hell out of me. While on the lockscreen, pulling down the notification shade (pulling down from the status bar) doesn't expose the quick toggle settings, instead it attempts to pull down the entire notification shade (if there are any notifications) or the quick settings panel. Cool. Whatever. Except the entire Notification Shade or Quick Settings panel comes down and then immediately retracts up. Swiping down from the status bar again results in the same behavior. I can do this over and over until I finally get angry and unlock the phone, even though all I wanted to do was turn off Bluetooth or something. So stupid.
Microphone lockscreen bug still on 7.1.1
