will dash weather work on wm6.1. I don't need the weather showing all the time.
I don't like the way the other weather apps change the clock panel.
its always worked on and off for me whether it was 6 or 6.1 . sometimes it could fetch the weather and sometimes it couldnt...i found no sort of pattern to give me a hint as to what the issue was. the data connection was always established. but one minute the update would work and the next it wouldnt. so i stopped using it. i just use fizz now.
If you don't want homescreen weather, then another good one that always worked good for me is Weather Watcher.
thanks! weather watcher works great for what i need...
Yes its a good program.

Hi,
Got a simple question.
In my calendar on the daily view there is a display that looks suspiciusly like the weather app. At the moment it shows London, I guess as a default. I have changed my weather app to show my locations and not London but this one is still there.
Any ideas where the location for this is set and how to change it?
Could this be the app that is accessing peoples data connection when everything else is switched off????
Cheers
the calendar weather is using the place which is set as your actual city in the CLOCK settings, not the city of the weather app.

Thank you Vogtlaender, Now, the million dollar question, is there any way to change it ???
sure, why not? tap on the main clock at homescreen and add the city you like and switch to it, now the calendarweather shows the new city.

yup, you have to make sure that the city you want displayed first is the "local" city in your clock, if not, just rearrange the cities.
many thanks!!! I had to do a hard reset last night and lost this function.Now if I could only get the weather to show back on the home screen under the appointments...Thanks again! Worked like a charm.
the weather app will not find my city at all, it did last night but after putting generic rom on it i can not get my location for my homescreen clock/weather widget, is there any way to manually add my city? my city is middlesbrough in the uk btw, found it automatically last night?
I don't think you can no.. Mine isn't on the list either so I can't manually add it and when it does auto find it it knows the name but says no weather data available so pretty much useless. Having to use weatherbug instead.. Don't get fancy animations but does the job!
thats just it though last night when i was running the tmobile rom it auto found my exact location and displayed the weather fine, but since i restored to generic rom my location isnt listed and i cant get it! surely it can get it somehow it did on the old tmobile one?
funny its found it now by itself lol
I'm having this problem too. Its just displays my country. I've been in different towns/cities with my Desire and it still displays "Ireland (Current)" Have it almost a week and still hasn't tracked my location, even after several reboots. All other location based apps are fine.
Running generic 1.15.405.4
The weather widget worked fine on my old Hero in the same area and same mobile provider.
I have similar problem. My Desire displays only "Current location" text in place, where should be name of city where I live. I had HTC HD2 before Desire and there was no problem with this. What could be wrong?
HTC Weather App
I had a similar problem with mine, some times it works fine and other no weather information avaiable. I have also swictched to a different weather app for my home screen
I wish the met office would write an Android weather widget. The Sense one is all well and good but only tells me what the weather is NOW and TOMORROW. I know what the weather is NOW by looking out the window, I need to know the weather in a few hours.
I have the stand htc weather app, i was one of the first to get the htc desire a fair number of weeks ago now, and i have been in birmingham uk for a while, with the weather app on the main screen ( the joint widget with the clock) fine.
However i recently came back to uni in Leicester, and the weather will not download, just say its unavailable. I can add Leicester as a location on he weather and that loads fine, but "under current location" weather tab will not load.
Any suggustions? I hope i explained myself clearly .

This ia a known issue. Try adding your city and then in the widget options pick that city instead of the current location and see if that works. You could also try downloading the Weather Bug app, its accurate and doesn't use as much battery power as the htc widget.
Thanks for advicing.
Basically i want to keep the main htc clock, with the weather app joint so when i unlock the phone i get the nice weather animations. However i cant see the htc clock on my widget list anymore so i cant add it or change settings etc..
I can add another seperate weather widget but looks ugly i think.
Hope htc get a fix soon!
A fix,
Just been fiddling about with the phone and found a fix for my problem.
You have to remove the htc clock, then go to add > widgets > clock (htc) > then click the clock with the weather > then you get settings of where you want weather to be from > add city> where you are.
This is ok if i dont move around much, which i do, so i just had to save this as a seperate profile, and i can swop profiles when i move around to make weatehr current location.
simple.
Hope this helps
I've had my Desire for some time already and although I love it there's something that really bothers me and it's the 4x1 calendar widget. I find it the best for the main home screen but it's just useless. Most of the time it doesn't show the event that should be showing and it shows something later in time (it doesn't confuse the date, it just misses what's in between).
I've managed to get it back to normal several times after restarting the phone and/or resetting the application but it either takes very long or I can't remember the sequence of things to do to make it work again. It's a pain in the ass.
I've seen other open threads about problems with that widget but most of them are quite old and without real solutions. Of the proposed alternatives I found all of them quite ugly, frankly.
Is there a solution to the built-in problem or a widget that looks similar?
Smooth calendar widget

I have just jumped ship from Smooth Calendar to Small Agenda Widget. In 4x1 it just beats Smooth by showing 4 lines not 3.
Jorte has every size of widget you can imagine.
Thanks, guys! I think I'll go for Smooth Calendar. With the HTC-style mod that is around there it looks quite similar to the default one and reasonably decent-looking. Let's see if HTC brings something out to improve it.
this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.
