Develop Bugs

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.

[IDEA] Windows Phone Badge

Hi,
It's a simple Idea which I got while travelling yesterday.
While I was travelling, my co-passengers loved the way I use my phone and WP design and responsiveness. However they don't know that WP7 exist and didn't have enough courage to ask me, though they kept on looking my phone by comparing with thier android.
So I got an Idea, We can have a very simple app [Windows Phone Badge].
1. Create a Landscape tile [like Pictures/Calendar] and pin to Homescreen
2. This tile should display "Windows Phone 7.5 Mango" with caption "Put People First"
3. Ability to change background colors for every 3sec/duration.
That's all. As application it has nothing except settings to select the duration for live tile update.
It's simple and very interesting app which is a Badge for WP users.
Anyone interested to develop? [hardly takes 1 hour]

Is the point of this just so the user see's its a WP7 device, or is there another reason?

Just it's a Wp7 device with some live tiles experience.

There could be a problem. I think only OEM's are allowed to make 2x1 tiles. Devs cannot do that for their apps.
This is what I managed using custom tiles maker.

is that so?

I'd suggest a simple solution to the OP. Try using a wp7 lockscreen

Nice work justhink. M not sure if I'd use this but this can help the OP for sure.

It's awesome. But can you add some tiles to that wallpaper and make it clear black

here is a transparent wall paper version and a solid dark background version

Favorite Weather App?

Found your favorite weather app? I found this one that I'm currently roadtesting along with Amazing Weather:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVNUwFcrmeM&feature=youtu.be

My favorite is Meteoservis.
(it's different weather - multiple editions Lite/Full - for weather and meteo fans)
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/c5c0be24-9bc4-4348-8333-7a0af5e7a7a8
Unfortunately, currently there is no English version and the service is working just in Czech a Slovak rep. But, according the author, there will be English (and maybe more languages) version available soon and the service will cover complete Europe.

I'm using WeatherLive by Hyperise.
Full-featured, with nice metro style live tiles, very accurate and fast it's a perfect choice for live weather app, even for $1.49
The new version 3.50 has brought many new features but still working fast and reliable.

I like WeatherEye by The Weather Network

Free and awesome Weather View

Weather View formerly : Vadret
Great weather images, Great live tile!

Weather Channel was the one I used for 9-10 months or so, then started using Accuweather which I really liked.
However, about a week ago I started using Weather View and I really like it.
Hoping they allow the ability to turn off the back/flipside of the live tile though, and add an easy one screen view of the next 5-10 days, but overall excellent.

Accuweather for the live tile which looks great and tells me what I need to know.

Amazing Weather is not bad
and has a nice live tile

Yes, I use Amazing Weather. The live tile displays current weather. I can justify between saving more battery and knowing current weather by choosing the interval to refresh the current weather.

Weather Master FTW

I second that. Shows all information I need on its double sided live tile which fits well into the whole metro design. My favorite weather app too. Closely followed by Amazing Weather.

I agree! WeatherLive is my favorite. Metro-styled, fast, and has a live tile.

I use Accuweather for the live tiles and Microsoft weather for the forecast. It's the fastest loading by far. I wish it would support live tiles

HTC app is good
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

I use Accuweather, and the HTC hub app.

nothing beats weather master, it shows the information in about 5-6 seconds and that is impressive, the other apps need more time to update the weather. weathermaster is not free but is certainly worth the money.

weather view and weather duck just wish weather duck got rid of the ads

Since I live in Sweden, I prefer to use Weather View (formerly known as Vädret)

[APP] [4.0.3+] - Got-IT! Free -Your notes everywhere, everytime you need

Hello XDA friends,
How many apps on Play Store that sync your notes with Google Task? Many!
But since I didn t feel confortable with any of them I decided to make mine, with an alternative Holo UI, that take inspiration from Google Now, Google Keep, and made it more intuitive.
The app is mainly designed to make you feel all the features in your hands, even using a smartphone (tested on my 4.3" Galaxy S2 display) and offer simultaneusly 2 type of navigation: dropdown (useful to skip from a list to another when number of lists is huge) and swype.
This app as stated before lets you sync your current task with Google Task, so everything is synced to every device you got, with your PC and tablet, android, iOS and Windows!
Isn t it great?
Support to Password, Reminders, Due Date, all your lists are available and you ll never lose a meeting anymore thanks to notification feature (expanded notification for android 4.1+ users).
A touch of color to help you highlight your actions, nice animations and a complete settings menu to customize your app, your sincs, your passwords, your notifications.
Some screenshot following
And to always feel all under control and ready to use we can use widgets and shortcuts!
Shortcut may be used to open a selected list or to add a nu task in a selected list.. or both!
You can set an illimitate numeber of shortcuts obviously.
Widgets are fully customizable, you can set the order sorting, set if display as checklist or as simple notes, choose if display the content of the notes, the max lines of the title, every widget is fully resizable and got built in 3 buttons to open the list, add a nu task or simply reconfigure the widget.
So said that the word to you, hoping all Google Task users will enjoy!
For any kind of requests, bug tracking, feedbacks I' m here, just shout!
Cheers

[APP] OblyAutomator - An automatic tile downloader that works with OblyTile

Hello! If you've used OblyTile in the past, you'll know what an excellent piece of software it is. I always thought that the process of resizing icons was a bit tedious though, and when my Windows 8 install corrupt itself, I couldn't be bothered to start again. OblyAutomator should provide a solution to this. My website hosts an online database with applications, and icons that are suitable for each application. Users are presented with a choice of icons, and OblyAutomator calls OblyTile with the correct parameters, which creates the new tile.
This is a video of OblyAutomator in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZmr8tdUOaE
Attached is OblyAutomator. It also requires OblyTile (v0.91) in the same directory. Also included is TileUploader, which allows you to add links to icons to the database. I will moderate these, so your icon link won't appear until I've decided that it's suitable and of a high quality.
I'm not sure if there's a demand for an app like this. This is a very early version, and may have a lot of bugs. Please post your thoughts and comments below!
Thanks,
Thomas
12/06/2013: Version 0.11 Uploaded that prevents crashes when searching for applications, and when deleting temporary files.

Thanks, this looks great, but I only get error when I start this program. See attachment.

Sorry to hear that! Please could you post a larger version of that screenshot? I can't quite make out what the error message says.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi sewa2k, thanks for replying!
If it doesn't recognise all of your apps, then it must not have them in the database! I will have a look at the database and see what icons people are requesting, and try and add some more. Feel free to add them yourself though!
Currently there are 5500 apps that have been found, but only 24 of them have icons! Not all of the 5500 apps are ones that you'd want on your start screen, but today I'll be looking through for some popular apps to make tiles for.
