[Q] news and weather - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I would ask a question about news and weather widget. I'm experiencing the following the strange behaviour:
1.. when I have a data connection available, I can click on the widget to get weather forecast page and everything is working fine
2.. when there is no data connection, weather forecast page is sometimes shown but sometimes not and I got a connection error.
How could that be possible?
Is there a way to get it work all the time?
Sorry if I'm asking something which may even be in some other thread but there are too many threads about this, that I'm not able to read all of them
Thanks in advance,
brontolo

What ROM / weather widget are you speaking of? I am thinking it is due to your update settings...
a. when you open and is due to update (no data), you will not see page as its trying refresh...
b. when you see it, it probably has refreshed previously when you had data and didnt need to update...
Fancy Widgets is the best I have found for weather, looks a lot like HTC Sense with a great deal more features and settings. Available from the Market

Hi razmattaz,
thanks for your reply and for your hint about Fancy Widgets... I'll give it a try
Below, some more comments

I don't think so as connection has been always off between step (a) and (b)
Thanks again

Weather not working???

I just noticed that my weather on touch isn't working properly. everytime i try to update it, it says there was a connection error... is anyone else getting this?
I did put Conflipper North American Weather v4 (forgot where I found it) on my TP2 so i got extra cities to choose from, if that makes a difference....
Anyone have a solution?
Simple question.. is your internet on the phone working fine?
Yea, internet is just fine...
it comes up saying...
"There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?"
Yea I was having the same issue.
I un-installed the conflipper weather cab and weather is updating fine now.
Wonder if something is blocking the weather updates that the cab file uses.

I uninstalled and the weather is working for me, too. I posted this on the conflipper thread over here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1227343#post1227343
so hopefully we can see a fix soon.

Ahh, ok so it was a server issue with Conflipper after all. Once he gets new hosting it should be back up and running again.
Hopefully this is soon.
AAhhh
Sucks! I was having the same problem, thank goodness for internet forums!!
I guess I'll uninstall mine too to get my old weather back, was nice having the cities I actually wanted.

You need to pick an element that has a lot of relatives (ie - lists consist of elements that have the same use in a webpage). Then you need to click "use all as list".

sorry, so is it possible to make a widget of the page I listed.
?
I am not sure what you meant by your comment, how do I do that?
Right. If you want the 15 minute bit, use the first news item under that heading.

It took me a while but managed to get it working, I think this was mainly due to the sites format.
now working extremely well, I have paid for the key.
Could I request a little feature?
If possible could you allow the title font to be changed ?
Great app though, really useful.

what does a small red exclamation mark mean in the widget?
Usually it means there was a problem with the parser. I will try to fix this for your site today as I also noticed it.

Thats probably why it has not updated
1.0.2.10
Reworked parser logic for compatibility
Reworked padding system in some circumstances
Fixed compatibility issues with Nova and others
Fixed title text size caching issue
Fixed a number of device specific problems from user logs

still cannot get this to work with the site.
Think the site formatting is causing issues. I have tried for ages, still get the red exclamation mark and the news feed does not update.
Im not sure what it could be. Try not to strip html.

[Q] S-pen page buddy problem

Hello everyone,
This is my first post in the xda community, I usually don't post because I find solutions for most of my problems in previous threads here, but not this time unfortunately.
Ok here is my "problem", in fact it's not a big deal but it's qa bit annoying for me, it started with Aptoide when I saw that there was an update for my SNote app, I clicked on update and it has successfully updated to a new version, the problem was that this version is not compatible with my Note 2 N7100, so everytime I tried to access SNote it stopped working, after that I have downloaded the official jelly bean firmware and flashef it using odin so that it can fix the problem, and it was really fixed, I could access the SNote, everything was fine, except the S-pen page buddy, it showed me a blank page with no templates even if I have them in the SNote app, and that's annoying because those templates on the page buddy were really useful.
You'll see what I'm talking about in the pictures uploaded from my mobile, and I hope I will get some help from you guys, I know you're genius so please take some time to help me.
Greetings from Morocco.

I cant its a korean widget just worked out it wont work overseas for alert cards.
You should ask on whirlpool - Pafc66
I reside in hong kong and the widget app seems to be working fine on most part. I say this because when its raining in HK, the phone says "Rain/Snow" and the animation shows a bunch of snow falling. This is kinda funny cuz its currently 30 degrees c and the phone is not smart enough to determine that it can't snow under such weather condition.

Hey there, i really want to help you with this but didn't you sell your phone on Gumtree? Surely you wouldn't need to know this info if you don't currently have the phone. Confused!

The problem you have now is you are really deep with the lie that it's becoming a tad pathological.
Let me set it out for you:
1. Your username here is 'Mickhaz12'. Your whirlpool email address starts with 'Mharro88'.
2. Your posts on Whirlpool are almost identical to the posts here about a very, very specific issue.
3. You live in Melbourne here and on Whirlpool.
4. Your posts on Whirlpool mirror your first one on here stating: 'So no1 has any idea i take it...'. You said the same thing on Whirlpool.
5.. You make mention on here of 'Whirlpool' knowing clearly what it is.
You really have two options:
a. Salvage some credibility and say: 'yeah fair enough - i went too far yesterday. Was just mucking around and it got out of hand'.
b. Continue the lie ...
I'd choose option a but i reckon you might go option b.
Lol. Wrong
Way too much time on your hands.
You must be one really sad loser or ugly fat woman considering your passion for technology and with all this time.
