Weather only updates on WIFI - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Is there anyway to get the Weather to update on Edge or 3g? It will only update when I am on WIFI under the "My location" feature.
I came from 2 android phones and I had this problem on there but after a few hrs it would start working.
This has been for a couple days... I am using a custom ROM but it did it on the stock rom too.
Anyhelp is greatly appreciated guys! Thanks!

Are you able to come out on internet via Opera?
I need to manually change my connection settings every time I hard reset. Look in settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks.
As standard it shows my wap-connection.

Everything functions as normal without WIFI and even the weather on pre-selected citys.. Like Los Angeles, CA But on the My Location weather is only updates under WIFI.
I looked under the settings and it's on T-mobile Data and My Work Network.

Funny, I was just about to ask a similar question!
I live in Norway, until yesterday I was using "NetCom" as my operator. My location worked fine - loved the feature! But when my company decided to switch to another operator "Network Norway" the feature stopped working.
The thing with this operator is that it is roaming on "Telenor" network. Mabye the roaming thing is the issue here?
I would like to get my weather back without having to find my location by myself... As you know, the automatic "My Location" finds even the smallest place, even those which aren't in the predefind list.
Another thing, when My Location is not working, I don't get the weather on the main screen either.... HELP US, please....
The Doc

Glad i'm not the only one...

I believe My Location requires either of these radios: 4.49.25.05 or 4.49.25.17. If you don't have either of those radios, it won't work. Hope that helps you

That did the trick, thanks so much! And now I know.

Hmm, I have 4.49.25.17 radio in stock Norwegian 6.5 ROM - still no go... As i mentioned earlier, it worked 100% before switching mobile operator...
The Doc.

is there anyway to enable mylocation using the 3.45.25.14

My Location
I have tried to update my location weather on every radio avaible here on xda. The update doesn't work for me on any of them. But what I have figured out is that if I switch 3G off my Location updates, so thats my fix for now. Switch 3G off before I update My Location.

Mobile Internet connection dropping

Hi guys, after installing the latest radio on my Hero I get the feeling that my mobile internet connection (both HSDPA, 3G and 2G) seem to be dropping more often than before. I haven't monitored this prior to upgrades so I can't say for sure. But is anybody having the same experience?
Also is it possible to downgrade the radio? Do you just reinstall the old radio?
Thanks.
yes i have the same issue. my mobile internet and also the gps stops to work after a while of not using the phone. i have to restart the phone to get gps back to work.
mobile internet can also be reactivated by activating and deactivating the "only 2g networks" option.
this failure sucks because i just recognize that the mobile internet is down because i didn't get push mails for a while.
I have noticed that as well
Yep me too. I can be browsing (web, market, or rss) for a while, then lose connection for a bit, then it will suddenly work again.
Can we reflash the old radio?
No need. It could be the APN settings. I was having problems on T-Mobile with HSDPA dropping and read in another post to go to the T-Mobile support page for the G2 and select Connecting to the Internet --> Set up the phone for internet surfing --> and follow the instuctions to set up a new APN. Worked for me
I have the same problem.
I have installed the new Hero ROM two weeks ago, one week ago mobile internet disappeared from my phone. Before this it was very good.
I can't find the good solution for this issue. Please help.
Same radio ROM. But there were internet for a week with this ROM.
I don't understand.
(I have tried to reflash the ROM, but not solved.)
Same problem here.
Mobile network has been unstable since I bought it.
When I turn it off for a while and turn it on again, I can't see the icon on the top bar. What I have to do is going to Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile network settings - Network operators - Select automatically.
Sometimes the connection is lost while using. I have to do the same thing like above to make it work again.
I also contacted HTC's customer service, but I haven't got any response.
Too bad!
I find if I leave it then it comes back. Every so often it goes...then the firmware eventually notices and it reconnects. Annoying. Hopefully this will be fixed when T-Mobile release thier version of the ROM update later this week.
I have the same issue, but it seems like it only happens when I leave a wirelss-zone (and not every time I do that either).
When I leave home, it will maybe 1 of 3 times not connect to 3G before I manually connect again (Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile network settings - Network operators - Select automatically)
I've just used AnyCut to create a shortcut to this menu-option so it is less annoying, but a more permanent and official fix would be great.
same thing in my one thats why i hate htc from now one loots of bugs in hero headphones led net go back to htc hd how you can release phone if is not done properly

TheBrit's settings appear to have resolved the issue. have been logged into instant messenger for more than an hour without the connection dropping off give it a go guys.
wow, how much better is that
Guys, if u have the dropping connection concern, as I did, please follow tmobile link in previous posts or a one for your mobile provide apn settings, I've just done it and have had no dropped connections for ages
i was also having the same issue but since installing the modoco 2.6 enhanced rom with the radio ending in 07.08 all has been good.
dropping connection
Hi,
I have a g2 Touch from T-Mobile germany.
It runs Runs modaco 2.6 with the newest Radio. Dont know the number it ends on 0708.
I have the prob with dopping connections. But i cant download the settings from tmo germany, because there are no settings to download. Can anyone help me? Or Can i flash the old Radio back? And where can i get it for tmo germany?

GPS Woes With Tilt 2 on Custom ROMs.....

hello, I'm not new to the flashing scene but I'm usually on the CDMA side of things. My buddy lent me his ATT Tilt 2 to flash him a Leo ROM but for some reason out of any ROMs I tried (I'm on uDk currently) I'm not getting any GPS lock for the 'my location' weather, or anyrhing for that sake. I have it connected via activesync so there is internet access btw... Is this common or is there a GPS fix for the Tilt 2 like the keyboard one? I'm doing this without a SIM card since he is using it till I'm done with it.... Does it make a difference? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
The reason would probably be because there's no SIM card. AFAIK My Location does not use GPS, but rather triangulates your approximate location using the signal strength of the three closest towers. If you don't have a SIM, you're not on the cellular network, and thus can't use My Location. You have to use either 4.49.25.05 or 4.49.25.17 as your radio, if you're not already.
But IMO, you're not really missing out on much. My Location only seems to update whenever it feels like it, so the data is often old and irrelevant by the time I see it. I just added my city to the list of cities on the weather tab, and changed the home tab to display that instead of My Location weather.

htcs my location doesnt use gps, it uses googles location service. i try to tell people that but they never listen. you have to manually update weather with sense 2.1 but you can automatically update it every hour or so with 2.5.

thanx a lot for the reply. I'll try it out when he puts the sim back on. Oh and btw, I have been trying to make the home weather tab use a selected city rather than my location but can't find a way to switch it. Any suggestions?
thanx again

Just tap on the homescreen clock (the clock part, not the weather), and if you did it right you should appear at a screen with all your weather cities (but not on the weather tab). Simply tap the city you would like to use for time/weather so the radio bubble next to it is filled, and tap back. After that, you're all set. Keep in mind that you have to add your city to the weather tab before it shows up on that list.
yaaay!!! i updated my radio and i get an instant lock now, thanx for the tips guys
there should be a thanx button here....

Problems with wrong My Location city ?

Hi...
I installed WM6.5 to my TP2. Worked great and it showed my home city under the flip clock and in the weather tab.
Removed it again and went back to WM6.1 but now I've installed WM6.5 again and now it's showing another city as My Location. I can add other cities in the weather tab but I can't change the My Location city.
And I can't remove the city...
My home city is Frederiksberg and that's the city which was shown the first time I installed WM6.5. Now it's showing another city and I can't even add Frederiksberg in the weather tab.
I'm running a stock ROM on a European unlocked TP2. Not branded by any carrier, just stock version from HTC.
Can anyone help ?
try in a different room/location. mine shows a city in bangkok (gmt +7) in one of my rooms and im in a beirut (gmt +2). if i try updating in another room or go to the balcony, problem is solved. also trying disabling htc location and enabling it again.
how to Fix "My Location" with Google Maps. (workaround)
I just got a handle on the Google maps "My Location" problem with the USA version of touch pro 2.
the cell tower triangulation only works in GSM mode (meaning GPRS/EDGE network). it does not work with 3G.
It appears that Google does not have the active towers maped. it has the old towers, but not new ones... however since I do not have an android device I can not confirm whose fault this is.
all I know is the workaround: turn off your 3G connection either with a modified Comm Manager, or the tedious way:
go to settings/ Personal/ Phone; select the BAND tab, and change the network from auto to GSM.
This will disable your 3G network and start EDGE instead. then Google Maps will be able to triangulate your position.
Hope that this helps... not really.
Hopefully, T-Mobile will resolve this issue with Google soon.
also, I can confirm that we are expecting a 6.5 update soon, although they did not give me a an actual date. My guess is January as sheduled (by rumors)
Thanks for the info, now my location is within 600 meters, it was within 43,000 meters under 3G in NYC area.

The T989 might be incompatible with the 2G bands, are you using it in the U.S.?

Possible fixes for this is flashing the latest radio, I believe it's UVMC6. Works fine with my phone (I live in Mexico and 2G works fine)
EDIT: Sorry, I realize that you have the latest radio, my bad
I remember I used to have this issue too, what fixed it for me is choosing manually my network operator, available in the phone network settings. It was either choosing manually or automatically, I can't recall which one I chose, but it fixed the problem. I now have it in automatic and it works and from time to time when I travel to the US close to the border, my phone cannot decide if it wants to go with T-Mobile or my network (Movistar) so I change it to manual and select Movistar and works just fine, so maybe all you need to do is change from Automatic to Manual, or vice-versa. Hope that can help

Hey,
I tried choosing manually, it did say it was registered on network, but that's it, signal bar remained empty and it still said emergency calls only. At times the signal bar fills up, but saids mobile network unavailable when I try to make a call.
Appreciate your assistance tho
I managed to make a log of when I switch to 2g, If that would be helpful

Wish I could help, but I don't know what to do anymore. Why don't you just stick to 3G? There are some places I can't use 2G so I switch to 3G, I just deactivate data when I'm not using it. I sometimes lose 2G signal too, but that's mainly because I am inside a building with thick walls or I simply don't get 2G signal, happens from time to time on certain places, like my old work place for example. I would either get low signal or no signal at all.
I wish I could help, but even I don't know what to do. Best of luck to you

Way to switch between 2g-3g-4g radios

Just in case someone who has this wonderful phone needs even better battery life try switching from 4g to 3g.
Here you are you may have to fiddle around with it to get it working I stick with the preloaded radio toggles,
CDMA auto PRL = 3G
EVDO Only = 1G or 2G network not certain.
And then of course your LTE/CDMA auto.
Good luck https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Oqy5H3znZLfFLmawQ&sig2=B9QbzOsLdQ-UdV8KD_f-sQ
You can reach that menu by dialing *#*#4636*#*#.
Remember that if you force LTE only most carriers won't let you make/receive calls nor SMS
The app seems to make things easier, and I've tried on Verizon I have forced LTE and I can still make and receive calls, I've also forced 3g and I'm still able to makes and receive calls
Can someone help me understand how to use this app? The toggles sometimes work, but sometimes doesn't. I'm trying to use this on T-mobile and so I set it to either LTE /GSM or only GSM. I don't know how to get GPS set either. I think the MM update made the radio buggy... Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have only tested this on Verizon, so that may be an issue, yet when I first installed it I had a little trouble as well try switching between the mentioned toggles, and there is a setting that says select radio band try switching that, I hope this helps good luck
As regards to your GPS that should be in your settings app under location

I toggle the 'location' button but this app says the GPS is disconnected! And my maps churn when this happens. When it's says connected, it loads fine. But toggling that off and on doesn't always make the values change in this app. The information in this app seems more accurate then the phones stock settings.
