Go to settings for HTC home weather (where you select city) and de-select autoupdate.
This has been covered in other threads.

ok gonna help you out.. here's what you do:
let it update when u click over and then once it's done click on the town name in the top left of the weather tab. It will take you to "Select City" menu. From there click Menu at the bottom right and go to "Weather Options". Once you're in there, uncheck "Download weather data automatically*"

Actually, you'll find the Auto Update is pants anyway.
Maybe it's city based, but London is never updated, so when I click on it always as to connect to update. This is on a Vario III / TMobile version of the Kaiser.
Found this on the TYTN2 as well.
So, just don't click on Weather, and you'll be fine!

I think you will find this is an operator specific problem and nothing to do with the thread question.

Oh, OK - Any more information on this?
Did T-Mobile disable this part of the HTC Menu?
Will installing a HTC Menu cab fix this?
I realise this is a little off topic, and that my answer was a cheeky swipe and not a helpful answer, but a brief come back would be appreciated.

If you cant update with your operator, no changing of the SW will fix this. Try updating the weather when you have an active WiFi or Activesync internet connection.

Sorry, I have mis-informed you.
It willl update over GPRS, but whenever I click on the Weather tab, it's blank and says "Attempting to download data..." and then connects (GPRS is already connected) and after 8-12 seconds, updates the weather.
This is despite it being set to Auto Update - hence my comment that Auto Update is "pants", and is not going to use data unless you actually click on the weather tab.........
Any idea on how to fix this are greatly appreciated.
It's not a big thing, but it's annoying.

I think it's just using a different definition of "auto update" - it isn't meant to be updating in the background, which seems to be what you're after. In fact, if it did, I suspect many more would complain!
All "auto update" means is that it will go off and get the latest weather if you click on that tab, and it hasn't been updated in the last x minutes. If you don't have "auto update" on, it won't, and you'll have to specifically ask it to.

As far as I know, that is the normal function of the auto update and thats why the originator of the thread is asking why it tries to connect to his non-active GPRS connection when he clicks on it. Auto update is not some form of regular timed update. This method prevents data access usage when you dont need it (costs money to most!).
Autoupdate updates when you select the weather icon or when you connect to the internet via Activesync, when deselected, you have to tell it to update yourself.
Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I See.
Well I know several TYTN2 / Vario3 owners who feel (like I do) that "Auto Update" should be Automatic, not when you trigger (a manual request) it by opening the tab.
I can see that for non flat rates data tarrifs this could become an issue, but then un-checking "Auto Update" would be a sensible option........
However, if that's how it's supposed to work, so be it.

How do you know whats going on in the background?

Ok, throughout the day I noticed that the Media Net (EDGE) starts up (two little E's at the top of the tilt displaying) for several min. When I tap the E, it shows "Media Net (EDGE)" connected. Sometimes it stays connected for 15 to 45mins, other times just a few min. When I go to task manager, it does not show anything running. I do not have anything updating, the only two programs I have I update manually which is SBSH weather and a POP email account. How can I tell what it is looking for or what data it is transferring etc.. Why is it connecting?
So with this, how can I figure whats going on and how do I fix it, or this normal.
I do have KasierTweak, is there something in there I can adjust?
Thanks
and yes did a search, I guess I could not find the proper wording to get the right result's

try fdcsoft task manager and try to look on the processes that are runing in the background
I have MemMaid, I will check running programs when it kicks on again then post them?

?? I have used mamaid long time ago, so I dont know.
Its most likely the updates(weather).
But I dont know what u want now, do u want to stop it?
Edit: are u sure u have the auto updates turned off?(in weather)
could u post all installed apps?
Ok, all my weather updates are turned off.
Memaid will show all programs running and running processes.
Which one should I look under when the Media Net kicks on?
Question what will I'll be looking for, what specific program or what will Media Net (EDGE) look like. Will it say Media Net or something?
Like for instance, right now they have 14 processes running
all .exe processes

No, it won't appear there. When it connects on its own look at the running processes and try to guess if you can find one that might require net access.
Another hint, you say you have a POP e-mail account set up. Check that it isn't defined to check for mail automatically each X minutes. If I remember well this can get enabled by default when you add an account.
Ok, this is what is showing in the "running processes" before the mediaNet kicks on. I have not been able to catch it yet while running. Anything in here looks suspicious that should not be there?
device.exe 2.75mb
cprog.exe 2.63mb
gwes.exe 2.37mb
filesys.exe 2.34mb
shell32.exe 1.87
Transport.exe 315.76kb
services.exe 295.67kb

Thanks
I've never seen "Transport.exe". A quick search tells me about some Arcsoft program. Maybe it's checking for updates?
As Mikulec asked, a list of the programs you've installed could help... we don't know about all the programs out there...
The programs I have installed;
Kaisertweak
HTC Home plugin
Live Search
Opera
HHC Customize
ILauncher
Pocketweather
HTC Diamond Qwerly
Battery Status
Memaid
Finger Friendly Friends
Again guys thanks for your time and help.
MediaNet just kicked on and I went to running processes and I did not see anything different than what I listed above. Will check again though to be sure.

me either. Arcsoft is messaging program and it could be MMS related. Maybe its downloading mms.
Do u send and receive mms?

this is probably the culprit for your dilemma unless you are accidentally selecting the weather tab on htc home
ok guys went through a rechecked all my settings, I did check the HTC home screen weather to make sure it was on manual update (i do not use the weather program) also made sure that all my auto settings on pocketweather is turn off. I did make one other adjustment though, will see if this helped.
Funny thing is that when MediaNet kicks on, it doesn't appear to effect my battery.
Again, thanks for the replies. Will advise the outcome.

How to change time on text messages

I am having an issue with the time of my text messages.

For instance my clock says 4:00pm but the text that just came in says 11:45am.
I already made sure that my clock was set to home and that i selected the right one.
Thanks in advance.

+1. Just a question box saying "Do you want to run on wifi? Yes No" . Kinda annoying to have to go into commanager everytime I need Wifi.
1 vote from me too! Very smart and useful.
Not a popup but toggle, just save to start menu, then you don't have to go into comm manager everytime to enable wifi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419005
I use AEbutton, and configure it to toggle wifi with a triple click on hang up button ^^

Yeah, had the same problem too. Use DiamondTweak, scroll trough the various options there and you'll find what to disable. I think it's item 6.3 or something.

"MY LOCATION" not working on Energy Roms

I am on my 2nd "Energy ROM" this one is Leo 2.5 -
The weather clock wont work, and when i go to weather, the my location tab says weather data is unavailable.
I would be fine with just manually selecting the location displayed on the weather clock. Can anyone help?
Best if you post this in the EnergyROM thread. The mods will just close the thread.

My Location depends on many things.
First try the new radio as I am sure NRG suggests.
If it does not work over phone connection then try this.
Turn on your data and wireless connection. Sync phone to pc and then try to get your location. For some reason that is the only way I can get it to work for the first time. Every time after that works fine for me over GPRS.

Manila File for My Location?

I did the best search I could without any success. Therefore, I'd really appreciate if anybody can name or send the Manila file(s) that are related with "My Location".
I will try to edit, if I can, so that it will show my city instead of "My Location" after a soft reset.
I am using 28014 ROM with Manila 2.5.1921
Many thanks
Dear Chefs,
any help?
thx
manila should remember your last choice of weather city even you perform soft reset (hard reset is another issue).
If you really dislike my city, try search how to disable my location.
no, it's not that I dislike it, on the contrary, I want the manila to remember the city I select but it does not. It simply goes back to "My Location".
Just to give an example, the manila in Xannytech 1.7 and Miri_28011_Manila25_TEST ROMS does remember the city whereas Flashmore and Lost in Asia V16.1 ROMs don't.

Make sure "Automatic change time zone and clock" is not ticked on in Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Time Zone.
If that is ticked ON the phone will revert back to My Location after a while and at every soft reset.
Otherwise you can use Dutty's Disable Current Location CAB, you can find it around here.
My Location is designed to work like this. It will "always" update where you are. But sadly, it doesn't work with GSM. You need to turn your wifi on to get it work.
First of all, many thanks to everybody for all their kind comments and replies.

Yes, of course, My Location is enabled. I chose Istanbul in the Weather Tab and removed all other cities. Then I went to the Home Tab and selected Istanbul by pressing on the clock and ticking "Istanbul" option button and thereafter Istanbul shows up right below the clock with all weather animations..etc. However, I have to follow the aforementioned procedure after each soft reset.
I will now check what snapilica2003 suggested above.
@ mcdull: yes, but I am not trying to use My Location so that when I go to another city the current location is updated. All I need is the selected city to show up after each soft reset.
best regards

ok, tested on "BLACKSTONE - PDAVIET ROM WM6.5 (Core 21619) by T2M" but there's NO "Automatic change time zone and clock" setting in this ROM.
Now, will try LIA 16.1 and provide feedback................
snapilica2003, thanks for your advice! All works fine!
OK, snapilica2003's suggestion works on Lost In Asia V 16.1 21616 because there's "Automatic change time zone and clock" option.
Many thanks snapilica2003!
Also works on on LIA 28014 version.

Why is My Location over gprs only working with activated wifi, without beeing conected to any ap though??
For me it seems that the location app is getting the correct data over gprs but needs an activated wifi driver or something like that in order to get the data.
Wouldn't it be possible to write a mortscript or an app that will permanent fake such a wifi driver beeing activated?? For that case we would be able to update our current location over gprs the whole time
