I just reset my Tilt 2 to default because the file manager and the program uninstaller were freaking out and not working right anymore. Now the weather widget in HTC Sense no longer works right. I keep getting a dialog box that reads as followes:
Connection Error
There was a connection error while
attempting to download weather
data. Retry?
[Yes] [No]
Does anyone have a solution to this? It never did this before. I suppose I could just reinstall the ROM and see if that fixes it, or try resetting the device again, but I wanted to get some ideas here first if possible.
I know your post is fairly old, but I believe they disconnected the server that provided these weather updates some time ago.
Same issue with SPB Weather...
I am running an Energy ROM, and can still get weather updates. But without a sim card, I can only get one city via wifi??
[edit] Weather Underground app still works!

Greetings.
I have Sprint TP2. It's a stock install except I disabled touchflo3d and i'm using plain WinMo home screen.
Ever since yesterday I noticed that when I check my phone after its been in sleep mode for a few minutes there is a small popup window waiting for me on the home screen.
Title of that popup window is "Internal Error"
Body is a red X icon and text ":0"
If i press ok button that window goes away but then after a few minutes its back.
Rebooting the phone doesn't solve this.
How would i troubleshoot/solve this?
Have you installed any software that didn't come on the phone? If so, try uninstalling one by one to see if you find your troublesome app. If you have all stock software the best bet would be to hard reset. But be sure to backup all data (contact, text messages, etc) if you hard reset.
I have the same issue. mxxcon, did you ever determine root cause?
I'm getting the same thing on both of my Touch Pro 2's, one is with Verizon and the other is with U.S. Cellular, and it seems to have started for me tonight. It's not hurting anything that I can tell, just annoying. However, I'm not seeing it on my HTC Pure (AT&T), so it seems to be specific to the Touch Pro 2.
Edit-It looks like it might be related to the newest version of Google Maps, I wonder if leaving it running in the background is causing this?

I have the same issue on my ATT Fuze. It is definitely the goggle map application, I wonder if its cause i have it running on the SD card.
Anyone else having the problem?
i think its has to do with lattitude with google maps when you exit say no to keep shareing your location i just tried it let ya know what happens
well so far 20 mins later no error message
Tilt google maps :0 sd card

Thanks for the idea.
ATT Tilt, WM6.1
I nominate for The 2010 Most Useless Error Message Award ":0" --> read: "I have no plonking clue." LOL!!!
Hard reset, install google maps 3.1 to SD, returns :0 on the first try.
(It -may- have even trashed my email and messaging - desktop icons stopped working - but not willing to re-re-re-re-reinstall to test that further.)
Just for fun, uninstall GM, install from CAB to SD and returns :0 simply on the **install**!!!!!!
Hard reset, changed install to main memory rather than SD, and it installed and ran perfectly on the first try. Several soft resets later it still runs like a bunny.
Actually GM is working better than previously. I used to get constant failures from GM to connect to the GPS in the phone ('not found' and such). I used to have to -first- turn on VisualGPSce, and -then- GM would find it immediately. GM is now aaallll grown up and can now do that aaallll by itself.
Have a day!

I have tried searching the forum for weather updates, weather not updating, weather updating intervals, weather update registry keys...
My weather stopped updating today. I don't know why. I thought maybe I fubar'd a setting when applying tweaks via Advanced Config, but nothing looks wonky in the settings I applied.
I click the weather tab, in the status corner it says updating and a little orb spins...and spins...after a few minutes I click update status, it still just sits and thinks.
I have gone through my registry, and nothing seems out of whack, so I am not sure what I am missing, and why this won't update my weather. I really don't want to try a hard boot to fix it...even with programs backed up, its a pain in the ass.
One last thing...I did change my radio rom 2 days ago. The one that went with the Tmous update had me dropping calls something crazy, so I went back to the radio rom that was first on the TP2 when it was still 6.1.
My calls don't drop now, but my weather stopped updating. Could the radio rom change somehow not be playing nice with the 6.5 rom?
Thanks in advance.
PS--I have yet to find a cooked rom that suits my needs so for the time, I am running a stock Tmous 6.5 rom with radio version 3.46 something or another...(its late for me and brain farts happen regularly at this time)
Are you, by any chance, using My Location for your weather? My Location requires the use of certain radios in order to work properly, and the recent change of radio ROM would explain this issue. The only radios known to work with My Location are 4.49.25.17 and 4.49.25.05, though there was a radio released recently which might work with My Location, though an older one certainly wouldn't work.
How do I disable it? I have tried via settings, but it seems to re-engage itself...assuming I am thinking of the same thing of which you mentioned. I went to Add Location and manually typed in my position and it updated without any issue...but the page one weather report seems to be stuck in updating hell.
EDIT...
after finally getting the location settings to NOT re-engage, the weather will not even consider updating...no updating hell loop...it just says "screw you"...so I will assume my radio rom is to blame. Do you know if the most recent one is stable? I guess if faced with having the weather, or dropping calls, I'll just remove the weather tab. It is just a nice feature, so if I can find a radio that won't be filled with static or dropping, I'd be happy to switch roms again.
I have, as many others have as well, had excellent results with 4.49.25.17. Your mileage may vary, since factors like geography and network play a huge role, but you can always switch back if necessary.
I personally don't use My Location for my weather though. If you manually add your location, then tap on the home tab's clock and choose your manual entry, you probably don't even have to change radios, as it will now show your manual entry on the homescreen instead of My Location. You can probably update then
YOU ROCK
I installed the rom you mentioned so that I could make sure I covered everything...as soon as I did the rom change, the weather updated without issue. Definitely the rom and My Location not playing nice with each other. I can't remember if this radio is the one that came installed with the Tmous update, but I will give it a try. Since you are in Sacto, I will assume it should work favorably for me as I am only 2 hours away in Fresno.
I do know that whatever radio came with the 6.5 update gave me major issues.
I appreciate you taking the time to brainstorm with me...you know the old adage of KISS...keep it simple stupid...the one place I never considered looking was in the my locations area of the settings.
Again I thank you for your time.
PS--if I decide to go back to my old radio, I will try your tip about manually setting everything and updating from the homescreen.
EDIT---DUH, it says right in my siggy what radio version was included in the update...wow I have had a long day and must be even more tired than I first thought!! Changed my siggy and added a note to myself for my swiss cheese brain.
Hello
I hope this isn't a repost.
I was wondering if anyone else is having an issue with the weather application not showing your correct location. Mine was working fine until Wednesday evening and now it just displays United Kingdom (Current Location). It does update the temperature and Google Maps knows where I am using cell location.
Anyone know of a fix or is this a wider issue with the the accuweather site?
Thanks
Paul
Mines been on the blink for a couple of weeks now. Some times it works and other times it just says UK
Same here - however, when I am in Bath (where the office is), Bath is shown, anywhere else on route now just says United Kingdom.
mine is the same went daft a few weeks ago worked for 1 day on wednesday and know is dead again just saying UK and thats it
Yep. Mine gone bat sh*t stupid too.
Even with gps on, it still doesn't get it right.
Ended up doing a work-around by going into the weather app, deleting all the irrelevant locations (paris, madrid etc) and manually added my city. Won't change when I go somewhere else, but rarely leave my city limits and its better than generic uk weather.
Not too fussed about it. Accuweather (who do the weather info for this widget) are not too crash hot on details anyway. Yesterday I was sat in my office, and it was raining so hard, it was hard to hear over the roar of the rain on the roof. My weather was saying "mostly sunny". Lol. Said the same after I refreshed it, and every uk news station saw this down-pour coming since tuesday.
You are better off having a link to the met office (if you in the uk) on your home page. Or just look out the window!

Mine too. Just says "current location" and nothing else. Has done for weeks.
Does anyone know if there is a fix or planned fix for the problem?
As i`m aware there is no fix, it was easy to fix on WiMo, maybe we should spam HTC for this ?
Weather newer worked on my location, but 2 miles away everything is fine
I think they're updating the locations all the time. Mine used to say Bamber Bridge even though I live in Leyland. It played up saying current location as United Kingdom and then started working again and shows my correct location.
I don't think there's any fix for this apart from manually adding your correct location until they get it fixed.

Ok thanks I'll spam them.
I wouldnt be so bothered but this was working last week and I've checked, Sheffield is still a real place....
weather location problem - fix!
I have been looking through other threads and have just found something that seemed to solve this problem.
Turn on the wifi (don't have to connect to any network, literally just have it turned on) and refresh the weather page and the location changes to your current location. Turn the wifi off and it's fine.
It has worked for me so far... I hope this helps someone else. (Phone: HTC Desire HD)

doesn't work for me. Thanks for suggestion though..
That was a solution for phones with winmo and manila 2.1 cooked in. Maybe try newer radio? I only assume that you all are using stock Desire rom... if not maybe check for update from chefs?
I had same issue with stock rom. After movind to Leedroid ones problem disapeared.

From what I can tell from my experience with the Desire weather widget, having accurate location data is largely dependant on connection quality. By this, I mean that if you're connected to wifi, you're going to get a much better read on things. When using GPRS, the weather seems to get a bit more vague - I'm lucky if I get "United Kingdom", since most of the time it will just say "Current location". I can't say what experience you'd get with EDGE or 3G, since I don't live in an area with either.
Your best bet is to ensure you give your phone every available avenue for location data. On a Desire running Froyo, from the Home screen, press:
Menu -> Settings -> Location
Make sure both "Use wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites" are ticked, then back up out to the Home screen. Go back in to the weather widget (for reference, I mean the clock / weather combo widget here) and refresh it. Give it a little bit, and it should (about 75% of the time) update to your proper location.
Some times when this probably won't work / you may still have trouble:
- When you have your device connected to a computer for the purposes of USB file transfer, tethering or HTC Sync.
- When you are connected to a wireless network using an invalid IP (such as having a static IP set to 192.168.1.x in a 0.x range).
- When you find yourself inside a faraday cage, a mile beneath the surface of the Earth.
This is all likely just common sense stuff that most people are doing already, but hope it helps some of you.
Hi,
I have a problem with a program of weather forecasts.
Specifically, I travel frequently, and my program does not recognize my location. Permanent displays the same location.
Restart resolve the problem but it remains to the next.
Do you have a similar problem?
The Sensation is a this was great.
i got the same problem with the htc weather app/widget. my location didnt get updated. i tried to use gps instead of the "google location service" but it didnt help. (it simply forgets where i am and didnt update my location) on my desire it worked well.
Same problem with me as well. Like you if I reboot it pulls down a name. But if I leave it there will be no name and no weather information either.
I had no problems with my Desire HD so I am guessing this will be fixed with FW, well I hope so!
I've only had the HOX for a couple of days. Finally set it up, like I need it to be and then I noticed that my Clock app is force closing, so I can't reliable use it to wake me up in the morning. This is quite a nuissance for me, as even other alarm apps seem to not work properly on my HOX.
I'm on the latest official FW, no bootloader unlock, no root, just plain 1.29.401.7.
Is anybody else experiencing this issues?
Edit: Managed to fix it, at least for me.
All I did was in the settings remove the automatic timezone detection. The clock then opened first time.
However, Taipei is showing in the list, even though I've deleted it from my list of Cities - so I'm guessing there's some location caching issue somewhere.
Anyway, the alarm screen etc. all seems to work for me, so try that.
===========
Can't assist yet I'm afraid, but you aren't alone.
Just received my 3rd HOX (yellow spots, faulty GPS) today and after checking everything and thinking I have a perfect example - clock FCs on startup, every time, regardless of other apps running, straight after a fresh boot, etc.
Oh well, I guess it was too good to be true
Not a biggie for me, because I use Alarm Clock Plus, which worked fine on the previous two HOxs (HOXes?) so hopefully it won't bother me. I can't be bothered to reset to factory settings just to see if the clock works.
I'm on 1.28, preinstalled by T-Mobile, no root or unlocked bootloader yet.
Haven't had time to investigate it much further, but the error log says it's a
'Java.Lang.Nullpointerexception' in WorldClock.java that's the culprit,specifically to do with the updateWeatherData Source Method, so may be something to do with getting the current location?
Forum search only threw up this post, so perhaps its just you and me!
If I find a fix I'll add it here. If anyone else has already found one, please let me know!

Hi
Same here, i noticed that my clock app is force closing from time to time. Also noticed that i untick the automatic time update then it starts working again. I think it has something to do with location as for some reason it is not able to find my location (the city) and when i select Brussels for the list it shows it in the map somewhere in Africa
I did remove the weather app form the ROM so maybe it has something to to with that.
I had this same issue and contacted HTC support through their website. They directed me to do a factory reset (!), which is definitely a suboptimal solution, but worked. No FC on the clock since then.
