HTC Weather App

Is pretty useless isn't it?
It's telling me on Friday its going to rain.. is it going to rain on Friday?
Maybe? Maybe not?
Apparently its sunny right now, a quick glance out the window confirms this. Okay how about in a few hours?
Oh, there's no way of finding out.. maybe if I press on the sun... nope, oh 'More Details Online', okay...
enter postcode, check
hmm
what's this?
nothing, just badly formatted useless information (looks out window), it's still sunny
Please tell me someone's found a less useless weather app/widget for the phone, this truly sucks and I dont want to wait for it to rain outside so I can see an animation of a windscreenwiper

The weather app is pretty much just eye candy on the front page for me. I rarely take any notice of what it forecasts.
I have a copy of Weather Bug on my Desire and also tried Weather Channel. If all else fails I go to the BBC weather site.
The good news is, they are all crap!
I can see conflicting forecasts on all apps and in Britain we have to accept that when the sun appears we make the most of it... instantly ... because very soon it'll be peeing it down outside!

snow storm is the best weather widget I have come across. It takes feeds from yr.no One of the most accurate publicly available MET office data feeds.
It gives a detailed forecast of each day in 4 x 6hour windows. accurate and useful.

Just installed Snow Storm, will give it a few days to see if it's more accurate. I certainly love the skins/Themes available. Thanks for suggesting this.

Looking promising, thank you... bye HTC Weather Widget.

I like weather bug. It has a widget for the home screen as is more accurate than the htc one. Even shows satellite images.

What's your favorite Clock Weather Widget?

Hello everyone
Let's share our favorite clock weather widgets.
Mine is Beautiful Widget, what's yours?

Never really seen why these two things always get combined into one widget, just cos HTC did it... what's wrong with 2 separate widgets?
Snowstorm is an excellent weather widget. Small, accurate, skinnable. Free. What more could you want?
For a clock i quite like sony's small digital clock. Minimalist, clear, elegant. Not a big fan of the flip clock thing.

+1 for Snowstorm, excellent weather widget.
As for clock, i use the stock transparent digital clock.

I also use snowstorm its pretty good, as for a clock i just use ClockQ its a basic clock and date with changeable colour and fonts simple but effective for me. : )

Simi Clock, simple and elegant.

I just found one -- couple hours ago.. sense analog clock

Liking that simi clock widget, thanks.

Can we use the weather and clock widget from HTC?

Fancy widget (pro)

Nope, all of HTC's widgets require their customised version of android with HTC sense. You can't even use them with a custom launcher (e.g. launcherpro) installed on an HTC phone, never mine a non-htc phone.
There are a myriad of lookalike HTC widget clones on the market (one's already been posted to this thread). Personally i think the HTC weather/clock styling is hideous, but that's just me.

Free: aix widget.
Nice overview.
Paid: palmary weather
Amazing graphics, very accurate.
Extra for Dutch people: buienalarm, gives you rain prediction on your location, accurate almost on the minute! Must have for Dutch people.
Time: Simi clock
Customizable and clean.
Sent from my arc or optimus 2x

Fancy widget.
It can squeeze weather, date and day, alarm/battery, clock in 4x1 widget (most only have 4x2 widget for full display)

Simi Clock, it's just perfect!

I'd cast a vote on Go Weather.

thank you guys, I really liked the Simi clock widget

In case anyone missed it there's a calendar widget in the same style as simi clock: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anod.calendar

that's looking great! Quick question how to switch the wheater/battery icon arround?
Never mind, found it!

simi clock FTW!!!

Fancy Widget is better than Beautiful Widget and SiMi Clock but it really really needs custom dates and times using things like HH:mm and ddd dd/MMM/YY

WeatherWidget is free and pretty cool (with next two days weather)

[Q] Actually a good decent HTC flipclock replica out there?

I really like the HTC flip clock and weather widget.
I've been looking for a long time for a decent replica.
I am using Fancy Widgets 1.3.0 right now and tried Beautiful Widgets, Weather & Toggle widgets, Fancy Widgets (v2 and v3) and many more.
And I tried Beautiful Widgets when it still looked like the HTC clock. Weather doesn't work though.
So do you guys have a suggestion? The app's mentioned above also don't feature the actual 'flipping'. However, this could be ignored.
If you have a suggestion please note:
- App name.
- Version
- Optional Skin
- Instruction to install (if necessary)

Miuis clock is flipping but it does not have the weather I'm afraid
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Weather and widget forecasts. Then go to download skins, one is called HT7. It will replicate the exact look of HTC widgets BUT,
The moon and sun and clouds are different, tapping brings different menu and it does not "flip" but just change time.
good enough if you ask me.

it is, just downloaded.
but cannot download weather data for Warsaw Poland. City exists in list but cannot download conditions from weatherbug.

Best weather app so far !! thanks

The forecast shows wrong data, and there is no option to turn off flip tile.I prefer to always have the current cindition shown, for forecast i open the app.
Also, loading times could be improved (~8 sec is now)
Also, those huge abnoxious notificiations upon opening the app are just too much in the face and serve no purpose really.
Loooks pretty awesome though. If it was as fast as the weather app, i'd switch.

Great app
Love the live tile support
Keep it up

Awesomely simple & beautiful! The best metro ui weather app

It's depends how many live tiles you have. Commonly there's not battery drain.

The API of Weatherbug not stability. Sometime, it can't get data from WeatherBug. So sad!

How to make two tiles like in the screenshoot?

[Index] [Weather widget] Guide of weather & clock widgets

Everybody likes weather & clock widgets, so I was thinking of making a small guide of different weather widgets here on Xperia forum. I hope it will be easier for you now to choose a nice weather widget for your phone.
Enjoy!
You can also post your screenshots of weather widgets here, so people can see and choose which one they like.
Ps. I will add more weather widgets later and pictures of weather main screen, but now I must go to school/college.
