Hello everyone I am new here. Just bought my desired Desire yesterday.
I think there is something wrong with the HTC calendar widget. I have 3 all day events: on the 16th, 17th and 18th and the smallest widget on the homescreen shows the one from the 17th not the 16th... what am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
BTW can you not love this phone?
Can someone try it on their device and tell me if it screws up the order too?

Did you ever fix this problem? I'm having a similar issue in that I have an event on the 24th, and one from the 25th to the 11th, and for a while it was showing the one on the 24th, but now it shows the one starting on the 25th. Apparently there's other calendar widgets on the market so I might try one of those instead.

I have this very seldomly. Workaround for me: Uncheck the appointment as "all day appointment". Save. Enter Calendar again and mark it as "all day". Like i said it only happened a few times but this one helped.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked and actually neither of my events were 'all day' anyway. The later one spans multiple days but has a defined start and end time. I tried making it 'all day' and changing it back but it didn't have an effect. Hopefully after these events pass it'll sort itself out. And in any case I might try the Pure Calendar widget (though since it isn't free I'll need to work out how to pay for stuff on market, it'll probably be obvious - they don't tend to make it difficult for you to part with your cash ).
Hi,
I can confirm this annoying behavior, and that the suggested solution works in most cases. I had to delete and re-create the event a few times to get it to work though.
Maybe this should be reported to the HTC Sense team as a bug report? Does anyone know the procedure to do this?
Best wishes,
Tobias
Try Gemini calendar and its own widget. It is free on the market.

Hi,
does anyone know if this is fixed in Froyo, or could anyone check it out?
Unfortunately, the issue also seems to happen on events that are not spanning multiple days at all and that is really annoying, so that the widget becomes kind of unusable.
Thanks!
Hey Guys,
Well i've rooted my desire and i've installed the 2.2 froyo (official) update. This is not a big problem/bug but anyway:
I've added Singapore to my weather widget and when i open the widget and flip through to it,it does not show any weather. When i have widget on one of my home screens and i flip through the weather..when i reach singapore the application force closes and the Sense UI restarts.
So far this happens only with Singapore(wierd)
Anybody else with this issue.
Thanks.

HTC Desire rooted 2.2

Ive tried it on 3 different desire phones.all of them force close

Weather Force Close
I am in Gibraltar, on a standard unrooted ROM with the 2.2 OTA update and choosing Gibraltar in the weather widget and scrolling through force closes the widget.
Out of curiosity, is your time wrong? When I set my time to automatic it gives me the wrong time by one hour, so I have to set it manually.
Please see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747841
I have tried Singapore on the weather widget from my handset in Gib and it too force closes.
I have reported it to HTC.

Fixed!!
OK, finally resolved this. There are a couple of issues here:
The internal timezone database on the HTC Desire (Froyo 2.2) is wrong in terms of the timezone and the offset. On boot, the phone must read this to get the times and zones somehow.
In order to fix this you need a rooted (www.unrevoked.com) and S-Off (http://alpharev.nl/)phone.
Please do all this at your own risk! You can brick your phone.
1) Navigate to /etc and copy WPDB.zip over to a p.c./Mac - Take backup of it
2) Download SQLite Browser from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
3) Unzip the WPDB.zip file in 1) and extract all files
4) Find the appropriate database for your location (in my case WP_0409WWE.db)
5) Open this in SQLite Browser, choose 2nd Tab (Browse Data)
6) Choose locationlist in the drop down, find your location, in my case Gibraltar
7) In SQLite Browser, click on the incorrect value - in my case Gibraltar was down as Africa/Brazzaville and the time offset was 0 - change to the exact correct value - for Gibraltar it is Europe\Brussels, time offset -60
8) In SQLite apply changes, save database, then zip all files up into a new QPDB.zip
9) Transfer this new WPDB.zip over to /etc on phone overwriting old one
10) On the phone, remove the HTC clock widget and in applications, remove all data from any items which say "clock" or "weather"
11) Reboot phone, timezone ahould be correct and weather too!
I would like to thank Chris1683 - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-evo-4g-themes-mods/133522-guide-add-custom-city-htc-sense-weather.html
For most of the fix.
No thanks at all to H.T.C. who kept on asking me to change my time manually again and again and again and again.
Hey I'm from Gibraltar too and was having the same problems with my HTC Desire S. I followed your guide and it seemed to sort the problem out for a while but as soon as a location app such as Maps is opened the time changes back 1 hour to West Africa Time. Have you experienced this problem.
Yes, I too still cannot get the Auto Time to work, in Gibraltar I set it to manual, and the time/weather stays correct whatever I open.
When I travel overseas and change cellular operator (50 yards across the frontier) the Auto Time is correct.
The Auto Time setting looks like it queries some HTC server/location/GSM Cell/Map application and then gets Gibraltar wrong. Again.
Where is Brazzaville anyway?
Forget that, just googled it, it is in the Congo.
HTC's support reply (I pointed them to this thread) was:
"Thank you, let us hope the Gingerbread update fixes the time issue"
Who knows, maybe by the time HTC get to "Triple Chocolate Sundae with Hundreds and Thousands and a Flake on Top" operating system, they will have the timezones correct.
We have all the time in the World....

I don't use it but you may have to change it online first then change it in your phone.

Hi guys,
I'm still happily using WM 6.5.3 and HTC Sense 2.5 on my HD2, but last week, my weather tab suddenly stopped updating anything.
Now I just get an "An error occured while trying to download weather Data. Retry ?" message (or it should read like that in English, provided I just freely translated it from French LOL )
Have Accuweather recently changed their communication protocol with portable devices or changed their server address, so the weather tab can't get data from them anymore ?
Does anyobody know what to look for, and what to replace it with ?
It could be anything, from a registry value to a an XML or SQL file, or maybe hardcoded inside an LUA script, DLL or even an exe program ?
If anybody has any hint about what I should look for (keyword, weather server address, etc.), please help !
Unless it's just my ROM going wrong... But all the rest is working OK otherwise, including the stocks tabs that still gets updated.
Thanks for any help !
same here. but the weather widget seems to work. time to investigate.
Same here
Hint : when selecting automatic location for the default city, then today's weather is showing on the Home tab and totday's weather only on the Weather tab, but it can't fetch data for the next days, and still displays the error message if you try to update.
So the server seems definitely still reachable, but probably just refuses to exchange information with the device.
Maybe it's related to the recent certificates obsolescence that has been reported ?
Another hint : I just received a cheap (very) used HD2 from the UK (with an extended battery and kickstand) and when selecting automatic city location, it's able to get the weather data for all the week to come (and to show today's weather on the Home tab), but is unable to download any other city data and displays the same error message if trying to update any city including the automatic current location, exactly as on mine. This one has a standard ROM (for now).
So yesterday I ticked auto-location for my default city (I generally avoid to do this, as it sometimes gives absurd results) and got only yesterday's weather.
This morning, the other days to come have updated as well.
Manual update is still impossible, same for other cities.
Now I'm beginning to think it's related to what's written inside the SQL Lite database.
Maybe the cities identifiers formats have changed, while automatically acquired data from the closest beacon is still delivered ?
AFAIK, GSM repeaters can be used to compute your location instead of the GPS (that's not always turned on, for battery consumption reasons), and weather data for that location can be transmitted even if it's not in the database (it actually contains only large cities - I was even annoyed in Australia last month, because it didn't contain ANY of Northern Territory nor South Australia city, except Adelaide, and the time zone isn't even correct ! - while you can get quite precise information about your current location, even small villages names).
So now I guess the automatic location data can be used to get information from the closest weather beacon, while pre-input cities data is probably obsolete somewhere and can't be used anymore to get weather data.
Do you know where to get the current cities codes list ? We'll probably have to type all of them differently inside 2330fc3c_manila...
Anyway, the list provided by HTC has always been terribly incorrect (my country time zone is completely fancy, and it's not alone in this case).
Maybe we could get a fresh one from a modern device ?
Actually, the data is provided by Accuweather.
If we rely upon information from here :
http://www.efferen.nl/2011/01/how-to-add-cities-to-htc-weather-widget-android/
... Each city code should be available from Accuweather website when selecting a city whose weather to display.
However, this kind of information seems now not to be displayed ; or maybe it's been replaced by a 5 digits number, as you can see at the end of my city's weather page address :
http://www.accuweather.com/en/nc/noumea/249098/weather-forecast/249098
Since all the information I could get from Accuweather related smarthones (including Android models) is dated from 2010 or 2011, anything could have occured in the meanwhile... Including some radical change in the way cities are coded, maybe replacing those "region|country|city" coding by a 5 digit number...
What do you think ?
Could anybody owning a 2015 updated device check what's inside his database, please ?
I see manual update works as long as have no other cities added which adds support to your theory on change with city coding.
I only use it for location weather manually updating so did not see this error but adding a city replicates the issue exactly :-/
Weather applications for other platforms would of needed updating so hopefully can find some info in it to see if looks fixable ...
Well I have found if add the following string value key it will work again (see attached weatherredirect.txt)
Also attached the custom weather city editor cab & have updated the registry key in the cab if anyone wants to use/try it .
Screen shots of location & 2 cities I added for testing via manual update with just registry key added.

worked for me, just need to add http:// at beginning:
Code:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=%25ls&version=1&device=innovation%25ls
:good::good:
^ wrote my key without as believe not need application protocol in the value & works .
Main thing it works at present
Does look like accuweather have implemented new city codes structure & also have the 6 digit ID's too so original server would not deal with old city codes.
Expect the 2330fc3c_manila file could be edited with new details if needed in future but not a quick task & not seen a full list of new codes or proper details on it that would need to start editing.
EDIT: heres a mortscript to add the key if you lazy Just unzip & copy .mscr file to device & run it ...
expect most have mortscript on their WM6.5.x HD2's :-S if not also added .reg file so can import the key using a registry editor on your device or PC based one like linked in my signature or use Task Manager 3.5 inbuilt registry editor as has superb export/import support. just an .exe to run (2 older versions is in Windows directory on nrg ROMs)
Thanks a lot my friend, it works perfectly (even without the http:// prefix, btw). :good:
For quick testing registry modifications, I'm using Smartione : simple and easy to use, and you can import/export easily as well. You just have to modify the header and and file extention to turn the exported keys into standard regedit5 files.
So it was finally just a change in Accuweather server address...
We're lucky there was a registry key able to override the original address... Do you know inside which file it's hard coded ?
And how did you find this overridding registry key ? In a recent Windows CE device ?
While I'm enumerating useful tools, I use SQL Lite Admin to manually modify 2330fc3c_manila.
Lots of cities time zones (outside US and Europe) are compltely wrong in the files provided by HTC, and I could recently check they were still as wrong in recent Android devices !
This is one of the first information I had to fix, or all the other cities times were wrong in the world clock once I had set my local time !
You can also easily add more cities in the database with this tool. I was amazed not to find ANY Northern Territory city in the databse when I travelled to Australia last month, and the only available South Australia city was Adelaide, with a wrong time zone as well !
I had the override key in notes from few years back when people had problems with weather servers & also used with custom server at the time.
Quite common for reg key bypass & was very good practice by HTC & MS.
I was expecting the original server to be in the 2330fc3c_manila file.
Your theory on change of city codes was correct but the override server address feeds handset info & server supports the older city code format.
I expect manila can be updated & improved on weather data quite a bit but not looked into it yet myself but want to ...
Now I am having problems to sincronice gmail. For some reason it has been deconfigured and now it keeps asking to introduce the right password, and it does not recognize
^ do you have your Gmail setup as imap or pop3 mail or setup as GoogleSync through activesync via m.google.com server !?
activesync via m.google.com server
i did sync only gmail contacts and calendar without problems, but when i tried to add gmail account in email tab it mess. Now sync keep asking to introduce the password everytime.
^ First thing I would try is logging in to the Google account online & seeing if it blocked the device for security reason, have a look in settings/devices & will list devices used to connect to the account. Could also set a new password online if no issues found then try that on the HD2 !
verification in 2 steps (introducing code sent by sms) was making problems. Once unactivated it syncs again gamil contact and calendar. Now trying to add email tab ... done! I was mixing setup as imap and activesync via m.google.com server. Just need to tick on sync email in this last one. Thanks for support. Mr.B
^ No problem, thanks for all your input & themes etc over the years too
Quite amazing how much still works on WM6.5 mainly as very configurable, even IM+ works fine including facebook chat ...
Had a N97 mini I dug out the cupboard the other day & that was a right pain to get any worthwhile function, updated best I could & sold ...
Since two weeks AccuWeather MyLocation stopped working. Still working cities but not working MyLocation Weather (city #0)
I have been using Zooper pro forever now and I made the widget shown in this photo a few months ago and it worked fine, all of the data was shown including the current condition and temp, but for some reason or another it just shows "unknown" for the condition and "??" for the temp.
I have done everything I can think of to fix this issue, including changing the weather provider, checking my location settings and making sure they were set to GPS, wifi and cellular data and I've even gone so far as uninstalling and reinstalling Zooper to try to fix this.
Anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it?
Up...i've got same problem
got the same problem, but fixed for me.
I thought its broken, because i really often change and test different Roms.
i changed weather provider in Zooper Settings from yahoo to Yr.no including update weather information and that works on me.
Tried to change back, but yahoo and openweather dont work on me... So now i use Yr.no and it works
Having problems here too for adding a new location. Each time I use the search, it just shows up 'not found' , even the larger cities. Can't seem to get it to work anymore on all of the services, yahoo, open weather nor yr.no. The location I had set up though, seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if this is going to be updated? From my understanding yahoo is not available anymore, but i had been using open weather, which worked just fine for me.
btw - I'm getting a timeout error on openweathermap.org, maybe that has something to do with it?

The only provider that even kind of works for me is yr.no, but when I selected that provider it showed the current condition as "Tornado", so I don't think it's accurate at all.

I found this on the zooper website. It just says to try other weather providers and if that doesn't work to wait for upcoming updates. How long should we wait? The app hasn't been updated in over a year (March 12, 2015)

Strange thing here though. It seems that on my tablet, i can still add new locations. I have no idea why and why not on my phone.
Well, I just upgraded my phone to Android 6.0 and now it's working for the default weather provider. Weird.

Does Zooper need all location methods to be tuned on to work, like GPS, WiFi and Mobile Networks?
I alaways use location: GPS only, because of battery saving, but this can not be done and have Zooper widget working?
For me it looks like I need to use all, but why is this?

The Developers have stopped updates for the app and it is a problem at their end, if you paid for the app, you can request a refund as it is faulty and not what you paid for.
I have recently noticed that when I set location in Zooper widget, only Yr.no works now for weather information. It's not often I choose a widget with weather info and location but today I did. Before I used to use Open Weather map and the weather used to show up fine for the given location. Now it only shows "Unknown" and "??". The same applies for Yahoo!
I'm guessing it's because I'm using a newer phone than previously and it's not supported. Plus the fact that Zooper isn't get updated by the developers.
Problem fixed
Hey,friendss I just solve the problem if u r also facing the issue of weather unknown and temp. ? Then change youe weather provider,i had change it to yr.no and within a second problem had solved .
Except that yr.no is always showing I'm having a tornado lol
Changing the weather provider to yr.no worked for me also. Thanks for pointing it out guys.

Thank you for the OP on this thread - found a solution to my issue by changing provider to yr.no.
Have the same problem & been having this problem 4 a while now... Sucks bc it's made me abandonen zooper all together switching to KWGT... I can also get the weather to show with yr.no BUT it dosent display the correct info. I can also add a location but it dosent save it... it also has some location already in there like India or some **** says it's 89° & sunny right now... I live in Cali & it's about 45° and 45min to 12am... LoL

You are a savior mate! Thanks.
Problem with "Tornado" fixed
Good news guys, I found a solution in German Forum how to replace the Word "Tornado" with actual weather conditions.
All Credits go to this: Guy!
If you want to get rid the word "Tornado" simply edit the Text and adjust the german words in your language (with google translate) and it will show the actual weather conditions!
