Develop Bugs

No more weather updates, and no idea why.

Hi everyone,
now here's a strange one (well, honestly every problem I encounter without understanding it, appears strange to me )
I have an HTC P3300 with the official WM6 from the HTC Site. I also installed the HTC.Kaiser.Home..with the 6 buttons.
My Problem concers the Weather Updates. At the beginning everything went fine. I connected myself at home to my wireless router, and downloaded the newest weather informations. (At the beginning I had some trouble to add cities that were not on the preinstalled list, but in the end I resolved this problem too.)
Yesterday, after more than a month where nothing went wrong, I suddenly had to re-enter my WPA-Code to access the router (no idea why). And from that moment on, I can not download any weather data. It doesn't matter if it is a city that I added or a city from the original list. On the other side, I still can download the QuickGPS data, and surf on the net. So the connection should work properly,...
Any ideas?
I already thank you in advance. I always could rely on the perfect solutions on this site.

have the same problem.
all was working before but now since one week, i can´t download weather data.

Try looking @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
I was in the same boat as you ... have just downloaded and installed the updated cab .. all is well now
Cheers

Okay, but do you know, why this suddenly appears? I mean is it only a program error, or has it something to do with the fact that it happened simultaneously with the need to re-enter the WPA-code?
I just want to know the reason, before reinstalling everything, or before following the recommandations of the above posted link,...

Do I have to presume that the fact that I can no longer download weather data and the fact that all of a sudden I had to re-enter my WPA-code, are not related? No dark connection settings ruling the special weather data download, while all the other downloads are running normaly?
And does the link posted before, with the updated HTC Homeplugin with the working weather tab, works for everyone? Not that I don't believe Mark, just wanted to check? No bad feelings Mark! ;-)
Thanks for the help.

Here I am again. I have just re-installed my Homeplugin and now the weather tab is completly empy! The first line with the city name is empty, I still can click on it to access the city list, but there will be nothing displayed in the tab. Also the big field where the weather forecast should be, is empty, even no "could not download data", nothing, just a big black empty tab. :-(
Now I presume I have to download the patched cab file at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Somebody can help me which file/files I have to download, because I do not really have a clear view on the hole thing anymore? I have P3300 wit WM6 (official HTC WM6). :-S
Thanks a lot.

Just curious, but what file did you download? I've read this link before and today I've been reading the instructions he gave in that link to a separate page, and I'm totally confused as to what the H*ll I'm supposed to do! There are so many options and files. I thought I knew a little about this stuff but, right now, I'm just take his advice to just leave you phone alone if you don't know what you're doing. I've been contempating this for over a month now.

Everything just works fine again. Thanks for all your help.
Here's the detail what I've made, perhaps it will help you shawndh, but I have also seen that N2A has now transferred everything to a new page http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
- I uninstalled my Plugin
- I downloaded and installed the SdkCerts.cab
- I downloaded and installed the Shen-6tab-cab v2.1 with the N2A weatherpatch. On the new page, it is the second link under "Released patched versions of HTC Home" (if you too have a P3300 this is your plugin).
Hope I could help you. I know the old page was not very easy to understand, N2A helped me, thanks again. The new page seems a lot easier for newbies like me.

Weather keeps resetting to London

Every so often the weather city resets to London, perhaps it's restart thing, a bit irritating really

PLease refine your problem. When does it reset?
It isn't like the other city's are still in there, but you have to swipe up or down to get the other cities?
Have you deleted London? and then it jumps back on?

If I set the city to Dublin where I live, it reverts occasionly to London. Deleting London didn't help, it came back again. It could be something I did, but I don't think so.

The only thing I can think of now is a hard reset. Maybe there wen't something wroing while setting up the rom and thus touchflow 3d. Weird problem though.
Hope, if it's touchflow 3d, they fix it soon.

Who knows what HTC has done in terms of automation... Perhaps the weather app is now tied in with your GPS location and until you get a GPS signal established it will keep reverting back to the default??
This is just me thinking out loud.

Mines working fine but then again i went in and deleted ALL he cities straight away coz they bug the heck out of me then started adding the places i wanted and visit... might be what causes it to work

I bet your right, doesnt the calender show the weather also. try getting a gps fix after re-deleting it

Hi,
Correct me if im wrong but doesnt the TP2 automatically add Your time zone (aka GMT -London) to weather? So if you add a couple of clocks say London and New York, Then the weather will add London and New York as well.
Does seem a bit silly if you cant stop it defaulting back to London for GMT though.

so can you set the home screen weather to be anywhere in the country??

Grrrr! It did it again, no reset, just normal use. I've deleted London, Paris, Tokyo and all the other places that are meant to make me think I'm part of some glamourous celb lifestyle thing. So we'll see what happens next!

Mine work just fine.try changin it at the home screen and weather panel and see if it still does the same

That's what I did. I thought it might be because the time zone is "London, Dublin, Edinburgh".
I really don't want to know that other people are having nicer weather than me

just erporting mine does not do this at all

Guys, I have problem... with city that is not in the base... any program that I tried that works fine for diamond doesn't work for TP2... touch flo just restarts when I add Durham to the base and go to touch flo weather pad it just restarts touch flo.... I tried many things...like disabling Touch flo and them editing the base... ect... but it just seems it is different with other phones( did anyone successfully added city that is not in the list?

see the wether app thread in the software section

pro2 keeps reseting to london because of igo8. just try it. change to your city, start igo8, exit it and voila, it reseted to london, except if you already have london.
bye

I had this problem too -London weather showing at the bottom of my calender Though not my preferred city. The fix I found requires a registry change. HKCU\\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CityList. There is a default list of cities there. I simply added a accuweather compatible code for my preferred city and calender has been well behaved since.

Also happening to me... resolved it by re-arranging the city and moving my base city as #1 in the list...

just move to London chaps - problem solved

Same issue also GMT London setting . I fixed problem going to Settings/personal/phone. Select the GSM/UMTS Services tab , On that tab is Time synchronization , From there select "automatic change time zone and clock".

My Location for Sense UI is not working?

I've flashed a few different ROMs and noticed the My Location can never update to my real location. Is it because it's not supposed to work in the US?

i am having the same problem in atlanta. its never updating.

Mine was working in atlanta today, what ROM are you using? I currently have EnergyROM Leo Manilla 2.5

You need to have google maps installed, and have it zoomed in on your location. It works fine for me in Sacramento, California. It still doesn't update very frequently for weather though, so I added Sacramento to the weather tab and changed the home clock to use that instead of my current location.
And for future reference, threads like these should ideally be posted in the Rhodium Themes, Applications, and Software forum, as this doesn't have to do with ROM development, but rather with software.

im on Fusion V5.2 Sense 2.1 ATT

figured it out
there's a work around for this, what you do is you go and set your location by adding a city, then make sure it's the selected one, and that will be your default location...and it should update..

mine does not find it in big city....but it does in small town where its roaming and G connection! but it sometimes works with wifi...i have figured that part out yet!

I had problems as well Locking on into my location. I'm using a AT&T Tilt 2 but i decided to try the latest radio 4.49.25.17 and after that it locked instantly!!

As post #4 mentioned, try loading up google maps and go to your location. At first it didn't work for me either, but after using google maps, started working properly.
When you first run google maps, it asks you for permission to use the my location service. My guess is that you need to agree to that first before it'll work.

I always cook google maps in my ROM. But I have had it working without any google maps one time. Ofcourse radio does help I think. But I do have 4.49.25.17, and it did get better, but didnt do it all the time!

I can not get mine to work with my Tilt 2 and have tried everything mentioned above..
I have had the same problems with most of the Diamond Roms also with that same feature.
The only Rom that it has worked is on my Diamond running 6.1 SUN Y MANILA 2.5. Have no clue to why it works with that specific Rom and not with others.

I get that connection error when I attempt to connect using WiFi. But all the other cities get updated.

SOLVED
This worked for me...
Home page.
Select alarm (just above where is says "calendar").
Select the tab on the left "World Clock"
Set your location to your home town (this assumes you have already added it to the "weather")
It should now work.

@tsadek
That worked for me also using a TD2, Thanks

That's not fixing the problem. it's just using the city you manually entered. it's not fixing the My Location bug.

ok, perhaps "solved" was a bit ambitious.
more of a "work around" then.

Guys, that hasn't solved anything. You are just selecting your city directly and asking to have that information shown on your Home Screen. My Location on the other hand is more useful to people who travel a lot. It's supposed to lock in on whatever city you are in and display the appropriate information as per.
Hope we can have this sorted out soo.
So far the only suggestion that seems credible is to change the Radio. I'm going to try that and see if it works.
BTW, does anybody know how it zeroes in on your location (what city you are in)? Does it use GPS to do that?
I can think of only 2 ways as to how this works.
1) It get the coordinates via GPS and then sends it out to Google / Accuweather and get the appropriate city name and weather stats.
2) Figures out where you are based on your IP address.

Well duh its not working! The new 'my location' feature in the latest versions of Manila are designed to work with the newest Radios.
Flash either the radio from the:
4.49.25.05 from the TMO UK WinMo6.5 ROM
or
4.49.25.17 from the Worldwide HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM
For all Rhodium Radio info look here
You will be safe flashing either of these radios. It works just like flashing a ROM.
There we go, 'my location' problem fixed.

Wrong time on HTC widget

Hey,
I've got my HOX for about 2 months now and it hasn't give me any problems until now. I've come to work in Brazil for two months and somehow the watch of the HOX doesn't seem to work properly.. Actually I believe the problem is in the HTC clock widget, since it's the one that is wrong.
I've tried any way that I've remember to solved this but nothing worked. I'm running a non rooted device (I haven't tried anything yet).
Any ideas how to solve this, because the alarm clock sometimes it works properly other times it doesn't and I really need an working alarm clock..
Thanks!

since you have moved to Brazil the clock widget is still configured for the country you previously lived in so you should remove the widget and put it again but now choose the city you live in in Brazil
hope i helped.

I've tried that and it didn't work, I think it assumes that the city I'm in now has different time zone and I can't change that... So it's always an hour late. (I could change the city but then the weather would be wrong..)

I have exactly the same problem. HTC Clock widget is one hour behind. Found any fix for that?

Problem with weather widget Eonon g2110f

Hello everyone,
I have a problem , I installed the radio Eonon g2110f in my car , everything was perfect , except the weather widget that has never worked , it does not mark your current location via GPS and then the weather information and even a set position manually .
I and 3 other friends have the same problem we can not solve.
If someone had the solution, we would be really grateful .

I had the same issue with my Eonon G2110F, I made comment on their facebook page and they instructed me what to do to fix it and sent me a link for the 4.4.4 update. All worked well except for the radio in my country (USA) was not working and I had to go into advanced settings and change region. Now I am wondering if there will be a 5.1 Android update since they have newer versions of my headunit.

does anyone know a way to remove this widget? I do not have a internet connection on this radio so weather wont work anyway. I am just sick of the warning message
