Hi there! Is it possible to display a city instead of My location om the home screen? Im asking because my location only can be updated with a wifi connection, and that sucks...
If you've got the weather tab downloading other cities then yes. Click on the clock on the home tab and choose a different city. If not then add the city you want to the weather tab and again click on the clock on the home tab and select the city.
geez I didnt know it was that easy... Thanks a lot! Though I feel quite embarresed now *goes hide in the basement*

Just a thought, but for those of us that have GPS receivers for our Hermes, is there a way of using the GPS coordinates to automatically update the location the weather application uses?
(Edit) Obviously I dont think this functionality will be built in but is it a development possibility?
Of course it's possible, all you need is a server which uses coordinates instead of postcodes oder city names. I think this would be even easier than having a whole database with names and places. But...
As the weather report usually isn't that exact to begin with, what sense does it make to have a report based on a precise GPS location? The weather report will be the same for a wide area and you should at least know, in which country you're in...
The only benefit would be, that you don't have to worry about settings. So maybe this will come, as soon as there is a "critical mass" of GPS capable mobiles around.
What I meant was it would be good if the weather app could use the GPS coordinates to automatically change the city/town that it is showing weather for to the one in its list you are closest to at the time.
For instance I live near Birmingham so when I am around there it would know this from the GPS coordinates then if I went to say Cardiff it would change the weather it was showing me from Birmingham to Cardiff so I dont have to goto the weather app select city and then find Cardiff and select it in the list and then refresh the weather. It would be automatic.
So noone wants to develop a small app that reads the coordinates from a GPS receiver and works out the closest town from the list of towns/cities on the weather app in the HTC Home thing and then changes your locality to that in the program then?
It's a huge undertaking for a pretty useless thing... really.
OK fair enough, but the framework involved would have uses for other location based services...
Hi,
I think some of these have been listed, but there are some changes to the weather tab that I think would really improve it...
I tried to see if anyone had a solution, but couldn't find anything, so consider this a wish list for anyone who knows how some of these things could be possible...
1. Auto Update
Auto update is good, but not for every time I go to the tab (especially since I don't use a data plan). Is there any way to change this so it updates on a schedule only, or automatically (without going to the tab) only if a data connection is detected - eg every morning at 7am...?
2. 5 Day View
A forecast is great, but if I can't update my weather for a day or two, I have to go to the 5 day forecast to get today's weather. Honestly, the 'today' weather should pick the correct day and display it - so if you updated the weather on tuesday, and it's now thursday, the tab should show thursday's forecast - it's been downloaded, it's in the database, so why not show it...?
Ok, so that's my wish list - I know there aren't any settings as such to change this, but is any of this possible with a bit of ROM development or anything...?
FYI - I'm on 1.96.710.3
Thanks...!
I am trying to develop a weather update tool, which will update the weather forecasts when the device is connected with activesync or on some other schedules.

I'm using "Second Today" and "Weather Panel" (and Spb Weather)
Accuweatherther site?
Hi,
I think lot of us are interested by a weather site other than accuweather. For example, i'm french, and i would like a site like meteofrance wich is more precise than a foreign site.
Do you think it's possible ?
Merci !
I'd love to see BBC UK's weather included!
accuweather
There are a lot of people who would be interested in another provider than Accuweather. This is not accurate at all. There are so many other ones which are better than accuwather. At least in asia and UK it is not accurate. so is there a way to change that.
Hi,
I have TF3D 2.1 on my TP2.
Despite the fact there is only one city in the meteo tab, I have the meteo of an other city at the bottom of the calendar tab.
Does someone knows how to change it????
Thanks in advance
Alain
Any idea?
Was the question unclear ?
The weather on the calendar tab is the weather that for the city that is set as your home city in the World Clock.
Go to you Home screen, tap the clock, and then select one of the listed cities there, or tap Add City, and make sure that the small bubble to the left of the city name is selected for your home city.
This screenshot is off of a Sprint TP2. This is the World Clock Screen with "Brockway" Selected as my home city.
Wow, so simple...
Thank you so much. I will try immediately.
Best regards
Alain
As the title says. I don't use the TF3D weather in Manila 2.1, so it's just messing up my homescreen really... I would so dearly like to get rid of it, but I haven't managed to do so yet, after half an hour or more of searching. I did a regedit:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation
but it didn't help setting it to 0 and soft resetting. The weather is still there, under the clock, showing me we had sun a couple months ago. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
i have found that disabling the Weather tab disables it under the clock.
Hm. Not so here, I have had that weather tab disabeled since I first booted the phone up, but it's still on the today screen.
Noone with relevant info?
The reg edit should have worked.
Turn of My location
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
But you need to set your clock (home screen manilla) and select my location at the clocks, not your hometown. It will just state "my location" instead of the name of your home town and not show any weather. At least that is what it does on mine.
Give it a try
You helped me in some way actually. Your tip about the manila clock "My location" got me on the right track. I only had "My location" there, so I added another city, selected it and fount the weather database file in Application data\HTC\database and deleted it, then selected "My location" again. Presto
Thanks!
Glad you figured it out and I could be of some help
Cheers
@ mhurg, how did you manage to delete the *.db file in application data/htc/database I am not able to delete it.

You must disable TouchFlow/Sense first, delete the db file, and then re-enable TF/Sense.

I would like to change the city weather on my home tab.
Let me explain... On the weather tab, always the first city is the location I am now at. Only the 2nd, 3rd etc. city can be set manually. But I would like to show the weather of the 2nd city on my weather tab on the home tab (just under the time on the home tab).
Or is there a way to set the first city on the weather tab to a specific location. (not the location I am now at).
I want to do this because I've turned of the GPS, but would still like to show the weather of a specific city on my home tab (I manually update the weather now and then).
HTC Touch Pro2
WM6.5
Rom version: 1.88.40403 (67102) NLD
Sense 2.1
If you tap your clock in the homescreen you will be able to choose a location that stays. My location didn't work for me so I practically had to do the same your asking to make it work. Took me some time to figure it out as well!!
lol very big lol
it's that simple... I was already searching the registry......
while searching the registry, i found the folowwing key
HKCU/software/htc/manila/Weather.Enable CurrentLocation
when you set it to 0, the MyLocation page on the weather tab is hidden.
set it back to 1 if you want the first page / city back in the weather tab.
