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.

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.

My Different Solution !
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 found that if you start the weather database editor after turning off Manila (TF3D) it works fully to add your own town! Works fine on my Dutty´s HD WM6.5 R6 Turbo WWE! If any one else get the same result, post it here soo i know that its not only my phone it works on...
yup works on topix 2.7, a note though. if you ADD a city in tf3d weather, and then select the city in world clock (to have, for example, the weather displayed in calendar), the fuse setting will be freaked up and defaulted to some african region or whatever. to have the fuse properly displayed you must EDIT an already existing city to the one you want.
Ok so to get it right easily(In my case with ÅÄÖ) i must use weather database editor to add cities and have manila turned off. And edit the file "2330fc3c_manila" in SQLite on my PC to add the timezone! But do not change the strange changes in the citynames, it will work anyway!
This is for Sweden with city names containing letters "Å,Ä,Ö"
yep, if you aint into sql editing you can edit with weather db editor an already existing city and it will have the correct timezone already
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
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*
