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.

Trying to get Hometown in HTC Home Weather

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.

HTC weather issue

I just installed HTC home plug in but my city Niceville, Fl is not on the weather list. Some people said I cannot add the city. Is this true? And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
Thanks guys

And How do I change from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?
• Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9
• Divide the answer by 5
• Add 32 to the answer.

Classic English humor

Celcius to Farenheit
When you are selecting a city, there should be a menu on the right soft key, click that then go to Weather Option...

I don't remember the syntax. I had to do the same thing. There is a way to list areas by zipcode in the XML file.

You can change your city by adding a program called Home Screen Customizer. It is free and works really well. But let me tell you. You are going to have further problems when you do that. I spent a week going around and around with P1tater, the only one here who Understands how to fix the weather "server" problem you will soon encounter. When you get the "unable to download content...." message, it is time to change your .dll file. Find the replacement .dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1877192&postcount=2153
I never could figure out how to create it myself. This is where you go to supposedly figure it out:
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/

Who developes the weather program for the HTC tytn ii and why cant we contact them and have them add our city for a small fee?

I've been using Weather Watcher by Singers Creations for year on my PC, and remembering that their software is free, I just stopped by to see if there is a mobile version -- there are two! One for PDA and one for smartphone.
http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutWeatherWatcherMobile.asp
FWIW, I've installed "Weather Watcher Mobile Pocket PC v1.0.8" for my HTC Tilt and it works well. I would prefer a smaller footprint, though.

All the info is in the many existing threads on this topic.
Best to look at those before adding another thread.. helps to keep all the Q&A's on a topic in the one place, which in turn makes it easier for people to find the answer to their questions...

My apologies. There's so much here way above my head that this is where I found myself after my head stopped spinning. Sorry again, folks. Will do better.

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"

This looks amazing! I will test this out for my new ROM due tomorrow. BTW, you missed a ":" in the EXEC line in your list. It should be "EXEC:\WINDOWS\HTCWeatherMaster.exe -cooked"

Yes it can be. The CAB is for post flashing, and the zip file is for us chefs.

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!
-SCDavis

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?

Yea, I'll reset the cab to install to the root instead of tools. Hopefully most Chefs will cook it in and then they can place the link where ever they want.

That's a good point. I'll add a warning if you are about to overwrite current weather.

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.

I wonder if I should delete the cache whenever you set the weather.

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.

Sqlite table error
I loaded the cab to my device ATT Tilt
When I run the program it responds with
SQLite error: no such table cities
Any suggestions ?

Is the tilt running touch flo 3D?

Load Weather Master
Select the US tab
Select your state (AR)
Enter "batesville" for the city.

weather question

so i recieved my viva today and so far i love it. but on the weather tab i cannot get it to pull up where i live. i got a city pretty close but not the exact one i want. am i missing something, i click add location type in city, state and hit select and i either get a random city or one i did not want. i tried zipcode but it failed too.

in which city/state do you live? So I can try in mine and let you know how it goes...

vine grove ky , or radcliff ky

Hey, the problem seems to be that the city is not in the database of the touchflo2d.
Actually neither Radcliff nor Vine Grove are in the accuwheater & HTC database.
What the application does is perform a query like this:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW YORK
If the result is a nice, long xml then you will see the data in the wheather tab.
If you see
<weather>
<copyright>2009 AccuWeather, Inc All Rights Reserved.</copyright>
<usage>HTC Pocket PC Weather Forecast</usage>
</weather>
You wont
What you might want to do is replace the last parameters with some other combination of cities that might work. I have already tried
NAM|US|KY|VINE GROVE
NAM|US|KY|RADCLIFF
NAM|US|KY|FORT KNOX
NAM|US|KY|RADCLIFF
NAM|US|KY|IRVINGTON
Without luck... Please give it a try with some other cities (I just searched in wikipedia which cities are near you, I live in Argentina so you might probably have a better idea )
when you find a city with returns results, go to the windows folder in your phone and find the file: HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
Copy it to your desktop, edit it and add a line like
<city name="Vine Grove, KY, US" loca="NAM|US|KY|VINE GROVE" land="United States"/>
(this one won't work, I have already tried that in my phone just to be sure, sorry).
Save it (is read only so you should change that before saving), and take it back to your phone.
Disable Touchflo from the Today settings, enable it again and that should be it
Best of luck!

ill give it a try tonight after work or maybe tomorrow before work. right now i got the city louisville on their. its not to far away lol

Cool, let me know how it goes!
