HTC Weather is gorgeous ... and a pain! - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Any advice - I've searched the forum and can't find how to fix annoyances with my standard ROM Touch Pro 2 with HTC's Win Mo 6.5.
1. How do I get weather to update more frequently?
2. I'm mid-summer where I am now which means the sun is up and bright well before 7am. Why the @#&* does my Pro2 insist on showing me a moon until well gone 8am?! The weather app doesn't seem to be sunrise/sunset aware for each location and it seems to think we're all stuck in the middle of some Siberian winter all year around!
Mark

by defualt its set to update every 3 hours if you have auto update enabled.
If you want it to update more frequently use a registry editor and navigate to
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
Scroll down to
Weather.AutoDownloadInterval
and edit the DWord Value which is in minutes
I just set mine to 45.
btw i just found out how to do this by searching the forum for "weather update interval" so try to search next time
98% of the issues your gonna have most likely have been experienced by somebody else

Well, the moon is often still in the sky, even if the sun is out!

Thanks for the pointer fone_fanatic.
Unfortunately that tweak doesn't work for me - the registry key didn't exist, but even creating it made no difference. I see others on the forum (I've found them now I know what I'm looking for) have the same problem.
Btw I did try searching ... but didn't think of that phrase. Which now I think of it is pretty obvious but at the time I tried several other that I thought would point me in the right direction!
You're right - xda-developers is a great forum for solutions and I've found many here. Problem is using honing in your problem on your phone when there's such a vast database.
Anyway - thanks again. Annoying that I can't fix this though!

Hmm ... ok.
But how about this? It's 10:30pm as I write this and the sun is still showing on my Pro2 home screen!

Make sure you are going to HKCU and not HKLM or the such. Setting that has worked for me for making it update properly for 5 different versions of TouchFlo.

Hi and thanks for the advice, but I have checked and triple checked.
I note plenty of people on the forum are having problems with this so I'm not the only one. Strange that HTC didn't allow a setting for this within the interface somewhere.

TouchFLO 3D's weather data seems to come from AccuWeather. (This might vary by the ROM and its intended country though.) Maybe HTC didn't want to risk overloading AccuWeather's servers with too many users updating too frequently.

As for the sun/moon ratio, I don't know where these guys had their heads. My location doesn't change from sun to moon until 9PM, even though by 7PM it's already dark.

Artemis Touch 4.01 Not keeping time & other bugs

Hi, any one know why my clock constantly slows down and I need to set the time again ? It is not an active sych issue... it just slows down.. looses time..
Everything seems to be working other than that on my arte110....
But.. the touch cube/ flow stuff... would be nice if there was some instructionst on that because I dont see any of that happening on my phone even though I got it set to default in the touch flow settings....
No animated cubes or other stuff inn navigation.... Not sure what it is exactly supposed to look like...
the only animated feature is the contact list and the opera mini , as a page loade it slides in... cool,
But other than that opera mini sucks...
it can hardly search this forum.....
and no tabbed browsing or selecting, copying text...
it is however very fast.
And isnt there some sort of function holding down the buttons to the phone vibrates? Would be nice to know about how that works....
Zoom on the camera doesnt work at 2 mp setting...
media player part of the home screen seems non functional...
And what is this hibernation feature?
BTW, it seems that when my screen is dark the phone stops keeping time...
I hope I am not missing any calls durring this time....

The TouchFlo configuration utility clearly lists what you have to do to make it work, the best setting for me is the top to bottom option, never fails

You just need to take the time to explore the features this ROM has, there are a lot of applications included, some may not be to your taste, and others you'll think are fantastic(like hbutton), if there is a specific application you need to find more about, try searching through the forums or on google, there is a lot of information out there regarding most of the applications, unfortunately we can't expect Meschle to produce a lengthy instruction manual detailing each and every single aspect of his ROM, part of that is the expectation that the people using custom ROM's should be able to figure out the nitty gritty details.
Of course the forums are here to answer questions, but it is also a repository of answers to the questions already asked. The TouchFlo one has come up many times.

ODSHOWeather WM6.1: Round 3Mb on Phone Mem, New Cab!! (08-29-08)

It is finally here for download, Weather with radar,forecast,hurricane,and a SYSTEM MONITOR!!!!
For Forum Viewers:
I am pleased to release the latest updated version of our weather for wm 6.1.
I have spent lots of hours with Showaco revamping the layout. We are please to see that our old cab had hundreds of downloads, so we're pretty sure you are all gonna love this.
Check it. We have gotten rid of a forecast panel that messes up the layouts for one of your other panels. We went with a complete revolution to the way you display multiple full screen panels, with different info, and pics. Guaranteed no other weather exists like this for your WM6.1 smartphone.
We hope you like it alot. This new forecast will switch between your current homescreen, no matter what it is, EVEN IF IT IS NOT ONE OF OUR LAYOUTS!!! That's right, if you mod your screen, but still want to use the forecast panels, no problem. Just go to the link in your start menu, and it will switch to our forecast panels, and press on any of the forecast days or their right soft key, and BAM. You are right back to your original homescreen. So you can use one of the several layouts we preset for you, or you can make your own. If you do, I highly suggest using Showaco's CPR and DLL switcher app. It is very sweet for us, modders.
Below are instructions on how to install and how to use. Same as before, there are layouts for 5 day,4,3,2 day, and Current Day forecast for the clock, as well as layouts with a monitor with background for the clock or without. I have added several new options in the advanced options menu. One of which is to enable audibles during updates. So, if you want, you can have auditory announcement during the updating process. Use if you want or not. The possibilites are becoming endless.
LOOK AT POST #33, FOR MORE PICS OF OTHER ADDITIONAL LAYOUTS!!!
NOTE: I have added a new homescreen layout for windows mobile 6.1 standard. It is a sliding panel with media homescreen. It is just set up best for our new app. So, just go to the homescreen layouts section at any time and choose, kennys sliding panel. That's it. Your phone will be complete.
Instructions:
******MAKE SURE YOU READ THE UNINSTALL NOTES & BACKUP YOUR REGS BEFORE INSTALLING, IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR************
1. Download the cab from xda site from link below.
2. Copy the cab to your smartphone.
3. Navigate, using your phone, to the place that you copied the cab, and click on the cab's icon.
4. You will then automatically begin installing the application.
5. Once install is complete, go to ODSHOWeather Options in your start menu and set up all of your options.
6. Reboot if needed.
7. If weather update has not already been completed at this point. Run weather update. If you are not sure where to start it,
just press on any page in the forecast panel, or access it through your start menu.
8. Enjoy!!!
Uninstall Notes:
If you wish to uninstall the weather app, instructions are as follows:
1. Go to settings and remove programs. Once in remove programs, select the ODSHOWeather WM6.1 Weather
2. It will uninstall, it takes up to a few minutes.
3. If any settings are messed up. Update your regs from before install.
4. To remove start menu links, just navigate using explorer on your phone or pc to remove the lnk to our app. That's it.
5. For any further questions, just Post or pm Outerdepth or Showaco on the xda forums.
Usage Instructions:
1. We have set the clock right soft key to switch to the forecast panels, press it to switch to those.
2. To return to your homescreen, just press the center button on any of the forecast panels or their right soft keys.
3. The radar, hurricane, and air quality pages have center button (actionurl) linked to the apps that update those.

For anyone that needs to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.
http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget...ation=calcutta
So, for this link above, if you were looking for Calcutta, India. Go to this link, and you will see a line like this:
<location cnt="1" city="Calcutta" state="India(Bangla)" location="ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA" />
So your location to enter in to options would be :
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
This should work for cities worldwide.
OMG, looking at this one cannot help but wonder if we really need to know all that sh!t
I agree, it does look very "busy". Heh

Thanks for the input man. I appreciate it. It is very busy if you have the monitor, but not much busier than it would be with iconbar up top. That has about the same amount of plugins as mine, but I have included a battery meter and system monitor. It's all on one line, just like the iconbar, and with the iconbar removed from the top, it takes up the exact same amount of space. I am sorry to hear that you don't like the busy-ness of it. Just so you know the monitor is an addon. If you don't like it, there are two other layouts without it. So no need to hate. Anything else? That was a really short reply, no other ideas? Well, if you think of something else, please, feel free to respond.

Hey dude, good to hear from you. I haven't heard from you in a while. It's nice to know you are still around. I hoped you would like the newly updated weather app. I notice you obviously think it looks too busy for you as well, cool. No need for the monitor, that's cool, I know you already have one anyways. I am thinking about making the different plugins for the monitor optional, so you can pick which ones you want and don't. If you think that's a good idea or anyone else does, please, feel free to reply. Hope you're having a good one. Take it easy, brother.
great app! I do have a question/concern...
After I installed it and did several updates, the temperatures for the 5 day stayed the same for a while, but after a few times, they finally adjusted to todays date, but with the same temps as before. Example: for wednesday it said low was 72 and high was 98, after updating it said friday was 72 - 98 even though the sliding forecast panel had the high on friday being 86.
Also, the temp. reading next to the clock stayed at 82 degrees all day and still hasn't went up or down. I live in the south and I know when it isn't 82 lol.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks again.
I'm downloading now. Looking forward to trying this out.
Living in the UK, I suspect the radar and hurricane warnings will be of little practical use but hey, I'm connected. I know what's happening.
Off to play with my new toy, will report back ...
I think I can help you
No problem, if you open your reg editor and go to HKLM\Software\Outerdepth\KPWeather, find the entry that says: fupdate.
Change that value to 1. It will run the app in its entirety. This will then reload your screen at the end of the update. What happens on this fupdate=1, is your phone runs the update for the forecast panel.
We didn't want to update the forecast panel on every update, because it adds time to updating the weather, so we have it set to update the forecast days on every 8 times, this updates the forecast panel, and the forecast icons and data on the clock panel. Sorry for the confusion.
I live in the south as well, Memphis, TN. It has horrible temps here, so I understand. I am not sure about it not updating these values for you.
PM me, and we will get to the bottom of this, quickly I am sure. Sounds like a refresh problem that's all. We will get to the bottom of this. Just pm me.

Look at previous post!!
This is for everyone, if you are having trouble getting the forecast icons to change at 1st, look at the previous post, this should update them once you run weather update. I will also upload a reg key for this. It is located below.
Sorry for any confusion. I will make the updated cab fix this, so when you 1st install it, there is no problem. For now, just download this reg key below, install it by clicking on it in your explorer, then run weather update. Thanks.
Edit: I have a new cab with this updating the everything the 1st time fixed. Also, I have left out some pngs on the storage card. The new cab has them. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is not prob. Just download the new cab and it will solve your problems. Sorry about any confusion. Here's the link:

I have to. I messed up and left some pngs out of the cab for the storage card. It will not update the forecast icons on the clock panel, so this cab fixes that. Everything else should be good. Sorry for any inconveniences.
I have tried everything under the sun to keep this app smooth. Sorry for wasting time for anybody. This is the breaks when writing software. I am glad though, to see that people don't give up. Hope you all enjoy the app!!
http://www.mediafire.com/?ciaoz0ze4xa
That's the new link to the cab.
Edit: I have given this to Faus Zayas from our forums here, this kid knows his sh!t too. He has run the fix, and now all digits update correctly. Thanks to him for being my guinea pig.
Okay.
I uninstalled the previous weather app by NRG which has been trouble-free and installed your cab as per instructions. All seemed well and what appeared to be the present conditions and forecast for somewhere within the 'Rebellious Colonies' appeared.
98F - bugger me that's cosy.
I went to options and input the magic code for the nearest place to me, a town about 10 miles and 1500ft from me, and updated.
'No data available' - I am disconsolate.
I've checked the settings, reset the phone, checked the settings, burned offerings, bought it a beer; to no avail. The cat's made itself scarce again ...
So. What have I stuffed-up?
Does it just need more beer? Or something much more fiendishly clever?
I do like the system bar, although a Bluetooth icon appears even if BT is switched off.
I've made a mess of this haven't I?
*** EDIT ***
Belay that Mr Christian, promptly uninstall our version and replace it with the latest.
Oh yes, and you can stop flogging the cabin-boy now ...
so far, works like a champ!
Thanks for your hard work on it!!
Bugger, I haven't the foggiest, what you just said?
No, just kidding. I understood most of what you said. Either that was for a quick jest or that was a drunken rant. Either way, that was frickin swizzle up in the hizzle for rizzle my nizzle. That's izzle.
Church, Hollah!!!

Hey everyone, I wanted to say:
I am glad the new cab seems to have fixed all probs. I want to add that there are other digits you can use that are in your storage card. They vary in color. You can customize this with these. For now, until I get this as an option. You can just copy the digits in any of the digits folders, and paste them over the originals. Then reupdate the weather to see your reflected changes.
There are many to choose from. Hope you enjoy.
hi
I was wondering if there is anyway I can make ODSHOWeather display in it's own panel and not take over the Carrier/Time panel?
Hi Outerdepth
How did you manage to get myPhoto more than 10 from the pictures files saved in the storage card?

It could be done by addng a current conditions page to the forecast panel. But not with multiple days on one page, only current for one page and each forecast day with its own page.
Another way is I could write you something that you could map to a key which would let you show and hide clock weather with the push of a button. The change would take a couple of seconds it wouldn't be instant.
Love this app!! Guys feel free to put it in the directorys over at TxCaesar. I have some questions:
the system monitor, seems to show messages when there are none, and the status of the batter is wrong. it almost seems like its just a pic file..am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again for all that youve done!!

Anyone interested in a cab version of snooze options?

Hi there,
From my Blackstone days I had a file and reg edit to create "multiple snooze" options for notifications.
So when your alarm or notification goes off, you could click the menu and choose to snooze in 5, 10, 15 etc minutes.
The only downside is that it removes the HTC big view of the notification, you get a Windows mobile default, which to be honest I prefer. This is only for notifications though, you know the message that appears on screen, nothing else, everything else stays the same.
I can make a cab which would make it totally installable / uninstallable if you like. Depends how many want it...
Excellent idea
Would these options be configurable? Would be much appreciated!
hi there,
no they would be the default Windows Mobile ones which the Htc Notifiations removes, think they are 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
I would be interested!
thank you
hi all, this has already been done. I've downloaded the cab already - couldn't find the thread, but it is on here.
I find the alarm on my HTC Pro 2 to be quite unreliable. The phone tends to crash for no apparent reason when sitting on the charger. I haven't fully investigated yet, but it seems to be often crashing at 1:55am whenever an alarm is specified the next morning :S
Having said that, I would like the option of having multiple snoozes to choose from. It's just so annoying my alarm clock crashes. Not good for waking up!
What I really need !!
I would be interested too! I miss this option very hard.
@martinjclarke: could you please look again or tell us the name of the cab-file to look for it
Thanks to all who help to solve this!

I've always wished the notifications COULD be tweaked - why in the world don't the Snooze options mirror those in Outlook? There are WAY too few options in Windows Mobile! How about 8 hours, for those things that might go off at 8am, and you would like to be reminded at the end of the workday?? Or many of the other options available on the Desktop version of Outlook...
Matt
I haven't seen this one before, but it may well be able. You usually find that things are duplicated in all forums as people create the same things as they have the same ideas.
I'll get it posted on here later then for people who want it.
it may have been this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3716251&postcount=2280
that's the name of the cab file I used anyway - and it works a treat. Can go back to constantly snoozing reminders by one hour and never getting any work done!
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen, it's using the regular Windows one. Not a big deal, but doesn't look as slick. But thanks so much for the fix, HTC/TMobile missed that one big time. Nothing I dislike more than losing functionality when i upgrade.

Multiple Appointments on Today Screen ?

Right, im using Itjes 13.2 rom. Its fast & basically all i want in a rom.
However, i want/need to have the next 5 appointments on the today screen like on previous roms.
It literally sorts my life out everytime i look at my phone.
Now however, with the newer version of Manilla i cant get more thn 1 appointment showing on the today screen?
I have searched & posted numerous times about this but cant find a solution & saddly i aint got the technical ability to sort it myself.
I have used the Smaberg cab (just removes the appointments completely from today screen), & also replaced the .dll file from another rom i have used - sadly neither work.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to find a solution ?
Or is it simply not possible with this new version of Manilla (2.1 i believe) ?
Thanks in advance
Hutchy007
I've also posted over in HTC Pedia without any success yet
i'm looking for this too and saw your thread over at htcpedia as well. forget about changing reg-keys and advanced config. this is configured somewhere in 1c684cd8_manila.
i'm at a dead end here after comparing the content from v13.2 with the one which gives you more events. next step, if i get to it, is search xda-devs (especially topaz- and rhodium-forums) and the web, if there's a newer file out. do the same, pls?
or someone who figured it out reads this thread and posts the file.
Guess we're goosed caliban2. Over 130 views & no solutions - just gotta hope its fixable on future releases of manilla !

seems that way, at least for now.
problem is htc changed the manila-file... it's only half the size, has different and less lua-scripts in it, that's why the old file doesn't work anymore.
i couldn't figure out so far from where this part of the home-screen is managed in manila 2.1.
needs someone with real coding-skills to do this, but the usual suspects are awefully quit on this.
Check this out, i think thats what u need.

Fix for showing multiple appointments on Today screen
I found this when searching - it worked for me.
To set options for displaying appointments on the Today screen
If you have a large number of appointments, you may want to specify the kind of appointments that are displayed on the Today screen.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Today.
2. Tap the Items tab.
3. Select Calendar and tap Options.
4. Do any of the following:
• Select Next appointment to show only the next appointment in your schedule, or Upcoming appointments to show multiple appointments.
• Clear the Display all day events check box if you do not want to display all-day events.
try tf3d tewak tool maybe this could help ya
Come on then peeps.
Someone must have had a dabble at forcing the appointments onto the today screen in the new Manilla.
Again, you will recieve my undying love for this fix. It really makes my phone perfect.
Many thanks,
Hutchy
Is there a cab to get 15 min increments instead of 30 on appointment times? I hate it when I have to work at 8:45 and have to put 8:30 just so I'm not late...

TouchFLO 3D Weather Issue

Hi folks. I don't know what to do here. I have a brand new HTC Touch Pro2 (HTC Rhodium), as you probably know that this device offers TouchFLO 3D. TouchFLO has a weather gadget built in it. When I go ahead and tell it to find my CITY, it doesn't find it. I give it my ZIP code, it doesn't find it, I give it a nearby ZIP code it doesn't find that one also, nearby city is not found as well. My zip is 18966, but in regards to weather forecast we use nearby ZIP code. My zip code belongs to two towns and the town that usually comes up for my ZIP is a bit far from me. So we always use nearby city's ZIP code. But this app doesn't find any of them. My zip is 18966, but for this purpose we always use 18954. This city is 5 minutes away, rather then using my real zip code 18966 that is also shared with a town that is 25 minutes away.
So what can I do to maybe input more zip codes to find? AccuWeather.com - finds all of the zip codes mentioned. What should I do??
You can only add cities which are already listed. But you can add any city that is listed in AccuWeather, using the editor in the thread below:

A bit more cumbersome than it should be, but it works.
THANX!!!!!

Thank You. But as I understand this is a separate application. So I will have that on my TouchFLO and then this one that I will install would be just an application? I don't really want to have another application. It won't be on my TODAY's screen. I would need to run it. Unless I misunderstand this app. Is this going to replace the one I have??
Great, now I'm freak'in toasted. I tried to follow the directions in the linked instructions and now I have no weather at all andit crashes the touchflow on my TP2.
I am on the original rom.
Any suggestions please?

No, it replaces the original city/zip database with a much larger one, and the touchflo weather tab just uses the new database.

If so, than I need to understand this bit batter. If in future, after I do this, if I would need to do a hard reset; this won't affect it, right? If I do this, this will be permanently??
Help with your problem
If you don't mind doing a hard reset, then I would sugest that. You were given good info. go to the previous link. What you have to do is this. Have a storage card that you can download software to. keep a folder for the software that you have tried and want to reinstall if you have to do another hardreset. What you have to do is FIRST install MICROSOFT .NET CF 3.5 after that, then you can install CONFLIPPER NORTHAMERICA WEATHER v.5 After you do these two steps, then you can go to the WEATHER TAB and select to add a city. It will take a little while to get things going, but just be patient. I have it installed on my phone. I GOOGLED your zip. SOUTHHAMPTON,PA I then went to my weather tab and selected your city and it came up. As of 09:43 AM on Jan. 7,2010 the weather in your town was SUNNY 32% with a High of 37% and a Low of 26% for today. It works. Trust what you are being told. we all here were nubes at one time or another. We have tweaked and hacked our Smartphones. We share with everyone, so we can get help when we need it. This is just one issue. You will run into more and you will most likely get the answers that you need by keeping up with the forums. Try another browser called SKYFIRE. It's great. It is the browser that I have used almost since the day I got my TP2. Hope this also helps. Pay it foward!

Thanx for your help. I guess I need these steps explainув a bit batter. I get stuck at .NET 3.5. Where do I install it to?
P.S. I heard good things about this SKYFIRE. Shall I install it, do you recomend it? Thank You Guys for your help
download 6.5 it fixs everthing you hate about 6.1
Weather in Holland Pa
strange as I live in Holland PA also. Yeah 18966 comes up as Southampton, but that is only a couple miles away. It should all be good.(Weather wont be that different!)
Also if your on the 6.5 ROM the my location function usually goes all the way to my development by name!

Not for me!! I need to find 18954 not 18966 (Richboro is closer to Holland/Northampton Township than Southampton)
But, it doesn’t find any of them. I turned it off, and I use regular Home Screen. Besides Regular Home screen also tells you what day of the week it is, TouchFLO 3D doesn't do it. I’ll be glad to try to update from my 6.1 to 6.5 though.
