Trying to get Hometown in HTC Home Weather - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I have been trying to get my hometown, Olathe KS, to work in TNT.1437 but it will not allow me to update the weather and download data from accuweather.com but when I clicked the about weather link under Weather Options, Olathe KS is in their database. Does anyone know why I cannot use my hometown in the home plugin if my hometown is in their database?
All help will be appreciated and well received.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

You know, I had a similar issue using the Jaguar rom. Finally I had to completely modify the xml and add the keys in the registry. Then I had to reboot. It actually took me a few tries for it to take. I'm not sure if this helps you at all, but I wish you luck.
**Fresno, was NOT in the database...I had to write it. Perhaps your town needs to be re-written, maybe they entered the info wrong.

weather is wrong...

anybody else weather on ty tn 2 home page is way off.
Yes it is exactly the same for me. The entire screen is disabled.
Hmm what do you mean with that?
if you mean off as in the temp is not the same as the temp in you area then its your settings. it took me a while to figure it out. when you click your city there is an option to change to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
weather is right now..

wow..thanks, ima hvac mechanic and i couldn't figure that out.i feel stupid..
I have no city in the city list, the entire screen is disabled. I cannot pick up a city, nothing. My device is an official unit bought in UK, no modifications whatsoever.
Absulutely No cities at all in my list. I can install one of the cabs from the forums to overcome the original file but was wondering why is it like that. The options is also not responding. I also tried to import the XML file from my Hermes but my list is still empty. Ideas are welcome.

the xml file is a ROM file so if you are trying to overwrite the original file you have to use something like Resco Explorer or it won;t overwite the ROM just using the native file explorer - try that. I have weather working nicely for Hurricane , WV --- and you can rest assured that wasn't on the original list (but worked well after I modified the xml file and installed the 6tab modified plugin)
My weather is wrong but I'm sure I know why. I'm in Springfield Missouri and its pulling data for Springfield Illinois. Its strange that it isn't able to pull up a bigger city list that includes states. Weather Panel is an old and now free app that has no trouble finding my little [email protected] town.

That's because WeatherPanel is an 'active' application, meaning you put in a Zip code and it goes and finds the data. The HTCWeather is not active meaning it only knows about the cities in the .XML file loaded to your device. Over on the Wizard forum there are several discussions on the subject. My Wizard for example only has the cities I care about the entire file is only 5K, vs the stock 300K one.
Hope that helps..

Wow small world. I too and in Springfield MO.
The weather is actually very easy to fix, all you need is a registry editor.
First choose "Springfield, US" from the city list. Now open up \\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
Change the value of "LocationCode". It will be NAM|US|IL|SPRINGFIELD.
Change it to NAM|US|MO|SPRINGFIELD. That simple. Change IL to MO and redownload your weather data.
I also changed the "Location" value from "Springfield, US" to Springfield, MO just because i liked it better. hehe.

Weather on the Fuze

Maybe it's because I live in New England, where weather is all important, but I find the Weather tab on the Fuze to be totally lame. I'm used to running WeatherPanel on my Tilt. I'm looking for instant access to detailed current conditions, forecasts, temps, charts, and radar and satellite images that I can put in motion. All of which I had direct access to on my Today screen via WeatherPanel, which would update in the background. On the Fuze, I get a static picture and temp (which doesn't seem to update on its own), and a link to an AccuWeather web site that never loads any info for my location.
I've searched all over; is there any better weather functionality to be used with the Weather tab in TF3D? To I have to trash TF3D and go back to a Today screen to get better weather info?
Pocket Weather is probably the most advanced available. I live in New England as well and it is pretty good.

Will Pocket Weather work on the Fuze as a substitute under the Weather tab in TF3D? Or as an added tab? I looked at it and I came away with the impression its a Today screen plug-in, like WeatherPanel, and would not interface with TF3D on the Fuze.

I too, abandoned TouchFlo and went back to my SPB Plus and Shell, and SPB weather. It was cute having a windshield wiper in the rain, but I'd rather have function over being nice to look at. Hence, no iPhone.
So, I've been using SPB weather, doesn't do maps, but does do fairly accurate forecasting. And since I travel a lot it keeps many cities a few clicks away.
James
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the page update automatically if you leave "data connect" on all the time? Mine seamed to always be updated whenever I looked at the tab with this setup.

That's what I was afraid of, there is no way to improve the functionality of the Weather tab. Which then leaves me facing the decision:if I'm not going to use TF3D to go back to Today screen with WeatherPanel plug-in, then will I return by Fuze and go back to my Tilt?
I don't know what you're talking about, i have my device set to update automatically and my weather updates regularly. You can make it update manually as well. SPB only shows the highs/lows for the day doesn't it?

SPB Weather
For the most part SPB does show hi's and low's and some detail on today and tomorrow, but no maps or anything like that, which is all I need when I am mobile. If I need a meterological lesson, I'll pop on the weather channel.
I just wish there was a way to access the "app" for the weather screen in the touch flo, b/c the weather feature was some nice eye candy. And your right most of the weather apps, built-in or 3rd party can update automatically.
JWB
www.weather.com saves a cookie so you get all that super crazy info as soon as the page loads up. Just a though.
I've got a persistent data connetion too, and usually as soon as i switch to one of the cities in the tf3d weather, it updates right then.
My issue is the cities, or lack of some. I'm in new brunswick, canada, and "fredericton, nb" is not listed, but 'moncton, nb' and 'saint john, nb' are. I saw a couple posts about adding new cities using some sql apps & db inserts - is that how this one is updated? the last weather app i used , had an xml file I could update with codes from accuweather.com.
has anyone updated their listed cities? if so, how involved was it?
tks,
dwight.

TF3D Diamond, Weather After Hard Reset
I have something different going on. Following a hard reset, my weather add-cities has changed. United States used to be at the top of the country list, and now it's clear down in the U's. Does the aforementioned database editor have anything to fix that? Otherwise, I don't need to edit anything, liking it as is. Thanks in advance!
Weather and CFNET 3.5
I had to get a new fuze due to a bad radio in the old one. I had the weather database and CFNET 3.5 installed on the old and working. However, on the new I have forgotten how to get the apps to use CFNET 3.5 and not the older version.
HELP ME.
I know I navigated to one of the apps and it was in a drop down but for the life of me I can not remember which one.
Thanks!

Install .Net Configuration. See attached cab below.
Once installed, go to the 'Device Policy' tab and select version 3.5. Select 'Apply' then 'OK'.
also you can use 2nd today you dont have to abandon tf3d entirely
Thanks!! I even had that on my memory card. Could not remember what it was. HOWEVER, I still get a message that "installation of weatherdatabaseEditor 1.2.CAB was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

Are you running a custom ROM? How about custom theme? I've noticed that 1.2 sometimes has conflicts with these. Try 1.1 Modified instead.

it only update if you have wifi or data connection. It doesn't save any cache. I hate Manila Weather for this reason. It doesn't download a few hr in advance....
is it possible to change the tab to something else? like pocket weather?
I'm from Montreal
Don't have any custom rom. It is the stock ATT rom. I will try 1.1 and let you know.

Can the HTCWeatherMasterInstaller.CAB be used with out being cooked into the ROM?
JoeWilcox said:
Hey everyone, I kept getting frustrated that Weather Editor would often just refuse to add my cities so I wrote a new one and I'm looking for people to help me test it, especially Chefs. Check out HTC Weather Master.
Download HTCWeatherMasterForChefs.zip
Integrate it in to your ROM (I tend to put it in ExtendedPkg)
Edit a Config.txt and add: "EXEC \WINDOWS\HTCWeatherMaster.exe -cooked"

Great Program
Nice job on this program. Definitely prefer this over WeatherDatabaseEditor. I will continue to play around with it and will report any problems.
Very nice work... I have some potential suggestions from the users side for the final product...
It installs to "Tools" which was confusing for a second for me, but might be more confusing for others.
Defaultly starts up at NC, is this because thats where you are?
The Set button is cool, but I didnt know it'd wipe out my other saved cities, maybe a warning?
Again, great work... a big improvement over WeatherDB Editor which was also great!

This is great, you should add AppToDate support, 12
Am I understanding this right that I can install the cab to my Fuze and will then be able to add cities to my Weather tab that I am unable to add with the default weather settings? Is this correct? If it doesn't work for me, can I uninstall and it revert to the original weather program/settings?

Yes you can install the cab file on your Fuze. It adds cities to the weather database. You still have to go to the Weather Tab and add the location you created using Weather Master.
Excellent! Thanks for the program! I'm going to give it a try.
Okay, so I installed the cab. Installed fine. Went to Tools and ran the config program. I added my city (Batesville, AR) and it added it to the list.
However, when I go to the Weather tab, it shows my city name as Batesville, AR but it sits there...and then after several seconds will give me a connection error. I switched back to the other city I was using originally (Little Rock, AR) and it updated the weather almost immediately.
Any ideas? Is it not pointing to the right location to d/l the weather for added cities? Or did I do something wrong?

Try this. Go to Start/Setting/Today/Items and uncheck TouchFlo3D. Using Total Commander go to Application Data\HTC\databases and delete forecast_cache.db. Go back and check TouchFlo3D. Add your city and see if it will update.

I just tried it here and was able to add Batesville AR. Try removing the entry you added and readd it. If that doesn't work, send me you 2330fc3c_manila file from your windows directory so I can see what's up.

It might be a good idea to do that. After doing some reading in other threads, deleting the forecast_cache.db seems to be the solution for users having problems getting cities to update after adding them. I don't think it would hurt anything by doing it and might be a proactive way in solving issues before they pop up.
I deleted the cache, as suggested, and still nothing.
Maybe you should briefly run through the steps I should've followed to add my city? It doesn't make sense (to me) that the default cities will update but the added ones will not...I'm wondering if I missed a step somewhere. Thx.

Anyone else having problems with People, Weather, and Programs?

I'm using touchflo and the people, weather, and programs tabs aren't working at all.
Just wondering if there's something I need to download to fix this, cause I've looked everywhere and can't even find anything on this issue.
The people tab just has the + Add boxes but they're all non-responsive, same with the programs tab
The weather tab shows Add Location, *Downloading weather forecast data may incur additional data transfer fees from your provider.
Add location, and Settings don't do anything, and About brings up a website which says it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure whether this is something I have to activate with my phone company or if there's something to fix this.
The weather works if I uninstall touchflo and use the default UI.
Bump, need help still please
I too am having this issue so its not just u. Hope someone can help us out.
Hey i read I tryed this and it worked fro me. I hard reset my whole phone and then re-installed everything using these instructions and everything worked fine. Hope it works for u also.

My Location Weather Clock

do any of the chef know what package are required to make the My Location Weather Clock to work?
It's actually more simple than that. Download this radio:
4.49.25.17 - Rapidshare Mirror - HTC
This allows you to use 3G to get the "My Location." Previous radios only allowed for "Edge" updates to your location.
Actually, turn off 3G so that only Edge is working and try to update your location (with your current radio).
But after this you can't update through Edge anymore only 3G...
my location
Hello;
If you mean seeing weather info and animation in the home screen instead of My location , easily click on the watch and it will direct you to world clock Then choose your state instead of my location.But be sure that you have already added your city from the weather screen.Then go back and back then hope it works
It seems that this feature is confusing people rather than being usefull, a solution was proposed here but for some reason did not work on my set.
The bad news is that GSMarena.com are saying that the location is locked from the first startup and can't be changed (details), if so, there should be a registry key to fix the issue, right?
I don't think you guys understand my question. what I'm asking is what packages do I need to get the My Location Weather Clock to work. I got it figured out. thanks anyway.
