OEM Weather app no longer updating on Tilt 2

I noticed that since last weekend my weather app would not update I would get periodic messages say "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data" but if I pressed retry a few times it would then finally update the weather.
Now since yesterday it has not updated at all. Is there any setting or configuration that I can check?
I am considering hard resetting the phone to see if that would cure the issue but I am not looking forward to spending 3 hours installing all my apps and hack cabs to get it back to the way I want it.
I know the weather app may be a bit trivial but it has been working fine since I have had the phone. and the forcasts are usually close to right so I use it to plan my day when I have to work in the field.

there seems to be server issues.

I am using JVH3 Weather City Editor for TF3D and Sense 2.1 and 2.5
do they all use the same servers?

I'm using the default Weather app in the Touch Pro2 WWE.
And now I see that it hasn't updated since 4 days.
I don't get any error, but it just doesn't update
I hope they haven't shut down the service.

Same issue here... and I am using the stock weather with the JV3H weather city editor as well... yesterday it went 14 hours without updating and I would get the same error as you listed, this morning it was updated when I woke up and then it updated like normal but 2 hours ago it stopped and I am getting the error message again...stocks update just fine.

Same issue here. Stock Rom weather will not update. Can browse the internet just fine though. Wierd.

How many times does it have to be said. The weather server is down.

Till it comes back up

I've manually updated the stock weather tab a couple of times this morning (I have auto-update switched off), and never had any delay or error...? I just now checked it again, still no issue.
Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm running a stock WM 6.1 ROM

mine was down last night at around 2am or so..its working fine today..now this is probably not the right place to post this issue but ive never been able to update the weather on any rom ive run when Roaming on a manilla 2.5 rom..ive made some posts over at PPCgeeks but havent gotten any real good answers as to why they've told me to flash different radios, ive even done the flash dance and forced roam without installing any other software except provisioning cab and it updates when on my home towers but not roaming..if anyone can help im on Sprint Touch pro 2..usually running Mighty Rom War 2.5..

How do you know the server is down? Also, I am NOT running the version you mentioned but rather HV3B's weather cav. Its Accuweather and I can hit the "more detail online" and get current info. Stocks update is down now as well. I called ATT and they spent 45 minutes working on the weather issue and told me it was more then likely my SIM card (the cards 2 years old). Does that make sense to anyone?

No it isnt your sim card. CDMA phones have the same problem.

Did you turn on weather update while roaming settings?

It may be this but you may have aleady checked this setting. If you're on the Weather tab in touchflo click on the Menu button at the bottom and go to settings. In here there's a checkbox to Download weather when roaming.

yah its checked..ive taken all the measures to ensure that it updates..my 2.1 roms always updated fine..my friend duplicated the issue with the same phone and service and rom..i force roam in this one certain area just because if i stay on sprint my battery drains because its going in and out of signal..i dont think its me forcing roam thats causing it..but im not sure..i guess what i want more is peace of mind that someone elses maybe on here has the same issue lol.

I have been able to update weather all day.

crap...mine wont

my location will update weather but if i add other loactions they will not. i use n2a servers and his are down even from home isp. if you use any weather tab plugin to add cities to the htc plugin then you probably also use his servers possibly without realizing it. hope it comes back soon...

not sure who's servers I use..I used the HV3B cab to add cities...any way to change directly to the accuweather servers or will that not work?
I am running the stock ROM.

Sense 2.5 My Location/Weather not updating

Hey guys, done some searching around, and apparently I'm not the only person with this problem, however I can't find a fix. I have to disable 3G to get "my location" and weather for my location to update properly. Manually added cities will update perfectly with 3G turned on. It's not a ROM or Radio specific issue, as I have flashed three different ones. I am currently running the final e2 6.5 ROM with the stock Radio. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to get this running properly? Thanks.

if you haven't already done so enable the "Enable my location" option and then try: menu> settings> check the "Download date automatically"box> select how often you want weather to update.

In addition to what marduk79 said, I have found that it only works reliably when you have a very good 3G signal. Wifi doesn't seem to matter. Probably GPS related. And even then it seems to only auto-update when it feels like it. However, it is cool that it will change location and give you the actual local weather depending on where you are. Just wish the updates were more consistent.

I appreciate the advice guys. However, the problem is still consistent. Example: I can be sitting on my couch, with 3G enabled, and weather for "my location" will not update. Then, I can turn around, disable 3G, and the weather update goes through. It happens every time I am in any 3G area. Its driving me crazy!

Don't know how your internet-settings are, but I've resolved this problem by removing portalmmm in internetsettings (proxy).

Portalmmm is just for Kpn in the Netherlands. So it will not work for him.
But you can always check you're apn settings to see if they are still correct.

Thanks for all the help, none of it works. There never was an official sense 2.5 ROM released for the AT&T branded tilt 2. I've just reverted back to the stock ROM for now. Appreciate the help though, guys

This worked for me, thx!
i've got Hi-internet (part of KPN), so autoconfiguration of my internetsettings set it to connect to portalmmm.nl as APN, which works for most things, but not for automatic weather updates..
@dressanderc: I'd check if there's any other APN that you can use..

Actually I have been having the same issue for about a week now. Seems that when I try to update my weather screen, it places me about 200 miles east. My 3G appears to working fine, as I am able to stream my Orb music to the phone.
When I switched to Google Maps, the GPS was also locating me 200 miles away. I changed the GPS settings from Windows managed, then it located me correctly in Google Maps, but no luck with the HTC location service, still had me 200 miles away.
And I am using the stock Verizon ROM, with Sense 2.1.

It could be a radio problem. What radio are you using?

I have the same issue with my wife's Tilt 2, it isn't rom specific but it is frustrating as hell. It will update once in a while, it seems to update when it gets to the final day in the 4 day window that is displayed. I did get it to update once yesterday but immediately after that I got the connection error again. I may try a different radio to see if that helps.

Having the same issue. I just added my local city, but I really liked the auto updaing feature. I am using Energy ROM now. I see what OP meant, I turned off 3G and it works, but turning on 3G won't locate me

Is the ability to enable "enable my location" only available with other than the AT&T Tilt2 ROM? I ask because I don't even have the "My Location" option in World Clock.

This is because the 3G in your are is most likely a new development, perhaps even in testing stages. When they first brought 3G to Terre Haute, IN (where i am) mine did the same thing. just give it a few weeks and it will work.

I live in an area where 3G has been in place ever since it was first deployed. With my last phone (Fuze) the cooked ROM included the feature. I just got my Tilt 2 and I don't think the stock ROM/radio supports the feature. Anybody have any expertise with this?

Rooted 2.2= no weather update?

So I rooted over the weekend and tried several roms but noticed a problem that drives me nuts. After the downgrade my weather works with the clock\weather widget but after rooting the weather cant find my location. It doesnt seem to matter what rom I load the weather widget does not work. I tired beatiful widgets and it only works if I manually enter my location none will automatically detect my location. I did multiple wipes of data and delvic with no help. I even ran the sprint 2.2 ruu and it didn't work. The only way to get it back was run the ruu and then downgrade back to 2.1 and it works then 2.2 ota upgrade and it works but not when I root. I searched and tried all the ideas to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? By the way the 2 roms I was wanting to use were CM6 and Fresh just want it to automatically find my location for weather.

So am I to assume that nobody has had this issue or has any ideas?

I turned GPS off, enable the use wireless networks in location settings. Then turned GPS back on.............and now mine works.

What setting did you turn the gps off and back on in.

I tried that and I still have the Current location issue.
I just turned on wifi, I got my correct city showing again.
I think it's an issue with 3g that I posted another thread about.
So now my issue with 3g is that I can't get google to sync contacts, calander, email well, google talk times out, market can't pull open pages and now my current location city name.

[Solved]Weather unable to detect my current location

Hi there.
My weather widget is unable to turn into current location. I have shared my current location with Google but still shows only "My Location" and not "Current Location" on the clock widget(with weather widget). I am using LeeDrOid v2.2.3. Previously I do not have problem in this. But now not sure why the problem arose.
Thanks.

I saw this problem appeared for someone. Try to turn on your GPS. Please post if it helps

Ive got the same issue with android revs hd 5.1.1 ROM.
GPS and WIfi enabled and working.

Hi Va_Alexander and fatr1ch1e
Erm.. I have turned on GPS but still no luck. By the way turn on WiFi? I guess I must be connected into a WiFi server first before I can conclude anything. I do not have any WiFi at my house currently. So I will update you all soonest after I managed to fix them(hopefully. lol). If still can't be fix guess I should consider reflash the ROM again. Thanks ya. =)

I rebooted ,mine with gps off and then switched it back on. Weather now back to normal

Hi to all again.
Ok, I've tried to use WiFi(with GPS off). It works great and it is back to normal once again. Thx.

Wrong Location In Weather

Hi everybody, I'm having this problem since last week. My weather and my Location keep showing that I'm in Overveen (Netherland) but actually I'm in Hanoi (Vietnam). This is f*cking annoying as my weather lockscreen always show the weather in Overveen. I had tried a lot of stuffs like do a full wipe and reflash or take the battery out for 10-20 seconds and the turn te phone on. After a few research, I think that the problem is comming from my Wifi Router, so I tried to add my MAC address to "Skyhook" but still no luck. Any Ideas guys? Thankz
Sorry for my bad English

I had a similar problem a long time ago with one of my apps.
Fortunately, all I had to do was invert the GPS coordinates. As for your problem I'm not sure. Check the agps settings, or wipe them to force gps to get your location.
Or try another ROM, see if you can repeat the problem.
If you are ok with db editing try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14089773
It looks far more complicated than it actually is. All you are doing is creating a new location (yours) in the db. Sense ROMs only, though.

In settings you have to choose for location - Network provider and Manual to choose location ?
