More cities in TouchFlo weather - Touch Viva, MDA Basic General

Hi all,
I would like to know if it's possible to add more cities in the TouchFlow weather tab, when these cities are not part of the database.
For example, in the Touch Diamond, this was possible by adding a registry value.
I tried the same way .... without success.
Help really appreciated!
Thank's

more cities in the weather tab
this might answear your question, best of lucks!

Hi all,
Here is what I did to fix my the darn weather problem using my AT&T Tilt through MediaNet.
1. Make a copy of the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml in the Windows folder.
2. Modify the file to include your info. (for me the zip code worked). See the examples below:
3. Copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities_xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)
4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings
5. Using TotalCommander overwrite the HH_0409_WeatherCities_xml file in the Windows folder
6. Go to Settings, Connections tab, Connections program and select the "Manage existing connections" option.
7. Click the Proxy Settings tab and uncheck the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option.
8. Click the OK at the top left.
9. Once again, select the "Manage existing connections" option.
10. Click the "Edit..." button for your MediaNet or ISP connection
11. Click Next, Next
12. Click the "Advanced..." button
13. Click the Servers tab at the bottom
14. Click "Use specific server address" and enter the two following addresses for DNS and Alt DNS:
208.067.222.222
208.067.220.220
15. Click OK at the top, then Finish at the bottom, click OK again at the top, then OK again.
16. Reenable TouchFlo in your Today options
17. Go to the Weather Tab and Add your city
18. Enjoy
I have tested the solution on are Garmin's ROMs, but it should solve proxy server issues and DNS issues relating to AT&T's seriously out of date default DNS servers (the proxy server uses an up to date DNS server).
The above DNS servers are from OpenDNS opendns. com
Please post and/or PM me if this solution works for you. I've been frustrated at the lack of working weather for my area, so this is the crazy solution I came up with!

Cingular Internet via Underground WM6 rom

Can anyone get their cingular internet (edge) to work?
yea.. i did. you just have to extract the files from the Cingular EXT Rom. It includes a CAB to enable Edge and the Edge icon.
*In the attached EXT ROM, Signed_Edge_Icon is the Icon itself, and EONs is the cab that actually enables Edge. Install EONs first then the icon.
~Stefanelli~
Thank You !!!!!
Okay, I installed both like you said and it still does the same thing. When I click on IE, it says it can not connect with current connection settings. To change your settings, tap settings.
Is there a setting I still need to change? How do I access the edge icon you were talking about that.
Have you tried running this cab file?

am I supposed to do something after I install the cab file or is it supposed to work automatically?
You have to make sure that you have the correct settings in!
Go to Connections, then to advanced. Tap 'Select Networks'. Create a new connection profile, name it MEdia Net.
Then tap Modem and tap...
Create New
(name it Cingular)
Enter a name for the connection. From the "Select a modem" drop-down, select Cellular Line (GPRS).
Tap Next.
In the "Access point name" field enter wap.cingular.
Tap Next.
Verify the following profile settings, then tap Advanced:
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: Blank
Verify the following settings and tap Ok.
Use server assigned IP address: Selected
Use specific IP address: Unselected
Use software compression: Unchecked
Use IP header compression: Checked
Tap Finish.
Tap Ok.
Give that a try.
Just so you know... Those settings are for Cingular users... not AT&T... so if you are AT&T tell me and I'll give you settings for that... but what you have said tells me you are Cingular. Hope I've helped.
I am cingular.
okay, when i attempt to connect to the internet, it says the answering modem has disconnected. to check your connection settings, go to settings...bla bla bla.
Is the password "CINGULAR1" was the 1 and caps typo?
no it should be caps and there should be a 1 at the end.. the settings i gave you are directly off the cingular support site.. so they should work..
-Stefanelli-
Oh good GOD, I was the one with the typo. I was typing WPA (like the encryption) instead of WAP. Thanks for the help. I'd buy you a beer if I could
If you simply run the cab that golfernutnflorida posted all those GPRS settings are there.
I'm on Cingular and I'll be damned if I had to put those settings in by hand the numerous times, sometimes daily, that I flash a new experimental ROM!
In other words, I keep that exact cab on my SC.
Exactly! The less I have to put in under a Rom Flashing, the better.

GPS/E-mail Questions

Hey Guys,
I am pretty much all set up. Thanks to all the help and information i was able to Flash it to Helimis Big Storage Dynamic version, added some programs. All works great. Only outstanding items:
E-mail -When i set up gmail pop connection it doesnt seem to connect to gather the messaages on 3g/Edge serivce. However, i did a test and turned on the wireless connection in the comm manager. As soon as i have done this Gmail POP3 works like a charm. As soon as i disconnect the problem persists. I have 39.99 3g data plan. Should the mail work through this data plan? or do i need to always switch to wireless in order to recieve mail? (HIGHly doubt it)
GPS- I have yet to put tomtom on, but i tried my google maps. It "worked" great at one point, I ran Quick GPS and it was able to triangulate my location (get a lock signal -7-8 satelaties), but now it doesnt work. I know i read somewhere not to mess with external GPS, but i switched to COM port 2 but i never un-checked the "auto-config GPS". Do you know what could be causing it not lock in onto my location now. I think it actually did work after i changed to COM2.
COMmanager - i updated my comm manager to duttythroy 10 button version. It has a 3g button to disable it since it drains a lot of battery power. However, how do i disable the GPRS/EDGE doesnt it drain power as well? i see in the Kaiser section there is also duttythroy_data_disconnection+_hspda-switch.cab (what will this exactly doo?)
Thanks all.
Other than these my TILT is amazing.. loving it.. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped.

e-mail: Does web browsing work? If so, then you might have a server setup problem. If not, call AT&T's support and ask for the PDA help group.
GPS: In my case the GPS is COM4: and 4800 baud. You can set this in "Start", "Settings", "External GPS", then let Google use the "Use Windows Settings" checkbox.
COMmanager: Use Bandswitch instead. Works much better. Latest is 2.4.2, and much be purchased, but worth every penny. (30 day trial I think tho)

GPS: - do you put this under Program or Hardware tab? Or do i put com 4 port in both places
E-mail - internet works.. So i guess Server setup problem?
COMmanager- I just took a quick glance at Bandswitch. It seems that it can do everything that ComManager + Kaiser Tweak (kaiser can set time to termination of data connection. My question is.. in the com manager- you can terminate 3g, but GPRS turns on.. does GPRS drain battery? should there be another button to turn off GPRS too?

Thanks for the advice it already has rescent in it. It works when i turn on wifi, so all settings are correct. It simply doesnt work with 3G (and wifi off).
Any ideas on contact importer?

I would love to know the answer to that one. I can only get Opera to run if I click the Java link, then copy/paste my links over. Quite tedious.
I would also like a 1-click way to start Opera....

Opera issues
Hey guys, i dont know what happened, but now all the sudden when i use Opera EVERY link i click on i end up loosing Medianet connection and it trys to re-establish it. It ultimatelly suceeds and loads the page... but this does not happen with Internet Explorer (everything works fine there). I also have KaiserTweak set to disconnect internet after 1 min of inactive use.. but its definatelly not that.. since i am active during my "test" browsing period. (which i did)
Any ideas.. i mean ITS Extremelly SLOW (sometimes 4 attempts to re-establish connection) and annoying.. It is also weird that it does actually make the 3g connection but then it breaks for no reason (tested in various locations)
Thanks for previous help - all those problems been solved - Except linking opera to all links (i click on) -> I am reading the trade posted in this thread about it.
- Question though.. i dont need to place a link into windows folder i guess since when i click explorer softkey it automatically opens Java Midlet. Or do i still need to perform that step?

I'm not sure whats causing your disconnect i never have that issue...but about your question...with the opera shortcut in your start menu it skips the step of opening your midlet manager then clicking on opera...then when you put that selector file in your windows folder its never asks for permission to remember your session and whatnot...it just goes straight to the home page in opera...

Telstra NextG - My Place / Foxtel ?

Anyone managed to get Foxtel (or even Telstra My Place) working on a Kaiser / Tytn II?
I've attempted to install Default_i-mate_MyPlace.cab (with or without Telstra_V5.5.CAB) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1719900&postcount=63 but it fails to install, reporting nothing other than "Installation was unsuccessful".
I've tried this straight after a factory reset too. The ROM is the default one it shipped with - 1.82.707.0 WWE (11/03/2007)
From what I've seen posted by others, it 'should' be as simple as installing the MyPlace cab then changing a registry setting, but I'm not having any luck with even the first part!
Anyone run into similar problems, or able to assist?
prk.
telstra cab
If you install the latest Telstra ROM then use schaps utility to unlock the extended ROM and copy the contensts somewhere you can then install the TELSTRA 5.5 cab. You will probably also need another cab called Default_Imate_AUS_HR_V3.60.00.cab. I have SCHAPS 4.01 FULL with both of them installed and everything is fine. Contrary to some threads I have flashed heaps opf ROMS and I love my JASJAM, being a tech nerd of course.
Finally got Foxtel working on my Kaiser (Tytn II) with Telstra NextG.
The main problem I ran into was when downloading the files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1719900&postcount=63 I was right clicking and selecting "save as". This doesn't work, as the link heads off to Rapid share, where you have to click free, then wait a while, etc. Silly me.
In case anyone's interested (or for the next time I reset):
1) Install the Default_i-mate_MyPlace.cab (approx 70k)
This gives the "My Place" option in the Programs list. When I ran it and tried to go to any of the options, it would connect, then timeout on finding location.
2) Ensure the Telstra Internet connection is using a proxy:
Start / Settings / Connections / Connections
Under "Telstra Internet Settings" select "Manage existing connections"
Under Proxy Settings, tick "This network uses a proxy server ..."
Advanced / HTTP
Set server to "10.1.1.181" and port to 80
Okay out.
At this stage I could now go to the various locations in Telstra My Place. Except Foxtel which gave an error about not having a compatible phone.
3) Change the User Agent by editing the registry.
The key is \HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent\CustomBase
I changed it from: HTC_P4550 Mozilla/4.0
to: i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Now I could load the foxtel link. When I tried the free service, streaming media told me it couldn't connect.
4) Configure streaming media:
Start / Programs / Streaming Media
Menu / Options
Set "Connect Via" to "Telstra Internet Settings"
Voila - Foxtel now works.

I-Mate Cab Installation
Hi,
could anyone please tell me (or point me to a link) how to install Cabs on an I-mate 9502.
I need to access Telstra's Myplace after installing windows 6.1.
I have downloaded the appropriate cab onto my pc, and then transferred it to the storage card on the 9502, but I cannot instal it onto the 9502.
I am a beginner with the 9502, and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks
Paul
Hey it's ok. I finally worked it out!
Cheers
Pauyl
Hey Pauly,
what did you do? I just got 6.1 and am lost. I got the configurator cab (correct one?) off the imate page but little does it config. No My Page or Foxtel etc. BTW I couldn't find a My Place cab.

ATT Settings.cab

I have a file called ATT Settings.cab which I got from this forum (somewhere, can't remember where). It is supposed to set the phone to ATT US connection settings. I have installed it (i.e. clicked on the cab file), but can't find where the icon is to start it (I'm expecting menu settings, etc.) Has anyone used this before and if so where do I look to run this program?
I haven't used this cab before, but I have to assume all it does is automatically enter the browser settings. Like the ones you would find here. You won't find an installed program for you to run.
it's automatically installed.
its not an application, it changes settings. some roms it may be just install the cab and your good to go, but in others such as L26 diamond you have to go settings>connections(tab)>connections(icon)>advanced(tab)> select networks> change both to mediaNet then edit>proxy settings> uncheck this network uses a proxy server...

well after you install att settings cab and follow these operations you may as well install removehiddenproxy.cab because attsettings.cab doesn't remove the hidden proxy. The hidden proxy can prevent you from downloading quickgps, htc weather updates, and a few other things.

M2D Weather - Adding Custom Cities Tutorial

I just copied my other post to make it easier to find over here. Hopefully you will all find it useful and enjoy the information.
For those who might not understand how to do it, just wanted to post this guide here too.
What you need:
1) HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. I have attached one below which you can use, or alternatively you can copy the one from the your /windows folder.
2) If you don't have the version which is already patched then you will need the N2A patched file attached below as well.
Here are the steps:
1) Open HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml using Notepad.
2) You will see many cities listed like this:
<city name="Anchorage, US" loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE " land="United States " /> (original)
<city name="Ketchikan, AK" loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN" land="United States" /> (copied and edited)
Simply copy one of the cities from your country, or state and then edit the city information. You will notice in the example above i have changed "Anchorage, US" to "Ketchikan, AK" as this is just what will display on the screen. The section marked loca=con"CONTINENT|COUNTRY|STATE|CITY" must be typed in correctly or else you will not get any data.
3) Repeate step 2 for as many cities as you would like to add.
4) Disable touchflo on the today screen
5) Copy Manila2D.exe (if you are not using the version already patched), and your newly edited HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to the /windows folder.
6) Enable touchflo on the today screen again.
7) Go to weather and add new city, the new cities should be available to you. I would remove any old cities you had before as well.
Weather won't download via edge or 3g:
For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
It should work fine

Scotchua, nice tutorial. I've been using several of your fixes since I discovered them. However, the one note missing from your Manila2D Weather Custom Cities tutoria is how to determine the loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN".
I have the solution! For most US locations, you can use the 5-digit ZIP code, but to determine ANY location, including outside the US, use this link to AccuWeather's RSS.
Simply put in your location as instructed in the 'Choose a location' field and click 'Set'. (For this example, I used Whistler, Canada.) The page then generates a URL for you, which looks like accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=NAM|CA|BC|WHISTLER. The piece after locCode= (which I've hilited in Red) is what goes in the loca="" field in the XML file.
Then complete your tutorial, and choose the custom cities! Hope this helps someone else looking to make a quick fix.

2. Modify the file to include your info. (for me the zip code worked). See the examples below:
Code:

3. Copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)
4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings
5. Using TotalCommander overwrite the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in the Windows folder
6. Go to Settings, Connections tab, Connections program and select the "Manage existing connections" option.
7. Click the Proxy Settings tab and uncheck the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option.
8. Click the OK at the top left.
9. Once again, select the "Manage existing connections" option.
10. Click the "Edit..." button for your MediaNet or ISP connection
11. Click Next, Next
12. Click the "Advanced..." button
13. Click the Servers tab at the bottom
14. Click "Use specific server address" and enter the two following addresses for DNS and Alt DNS:
208.067.222.222
208.067.220.220
15. Click OK at the top, then Finish at the bottom, click OK again at the top, then OK again.
16. Reenable TouchFlo in your Today options
17. Go to the Weather Tab and Add your city
18. Enjoy
I have tested the solution on are Garmin's ROMs, but it should solve proxy server issues and DNS issues relating to AT&T's seriously out of date default DNS servers (the proxy server uses an up to date DNS server).
The above DNS servers are from OpenDNS www.opendns.com
Please post and/or PM me if this solution works for you. I've been frustrated at the lack of working weather for my area, so this is the crazy solution I came up with!

Any Suggestions
Hi, I've done everything. However when I try to copy the new file I created with the HH_0409 exe there's problems.
1) when i go into windows on my device and go the the HH_file it will not let me copy it or deleate it, so i could then put in the new file.
2) when I try to copy and paste my new file titled the same HH_0409_WeatherCities to the Windows in device I get a error message that reads (error copy file, cannot copy HH_4090_WeatherCities access is denied. Be certain that there is enough free storage memory that the destination is not write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.)
I have unchecked TouchFlo as stated and done everything as listed. I'd somehow had this working when using MD2 but now that I'm using the Solace 1.5 rom, I'll be darn that I can get this to work. I'm trying to put Millsboro, DE USA into the darn thing. If you have any suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thank you in advance.

I use total commander (which i have added as an attachement to the first post) to copy the files. If you have tf2d, and done a soft reset, but still cannot copy the files using total commander then i really don't know why your files cannot be overwritten. I've honestly never had that problem before, so i just don't have anyway to help you.
I also got that same error when I was using file explorer but I did get it to work when I used Total Commander.
I downloaded the file to my desktop.
Then opened it with notepad.
Added my city
I then choose to save as and selected the file on my desktop to be overwritten.
I copied it to my storage card.
I then copied it using total commander to the windows directory with TF2d disabled.
soft reset
enabled TF2d and it was there.
Can you give example of with zip code. I tried it using the info off the rss feed hyperlink and still nothing. Thanks.

First Post Updated
NOt working for me
Scotchua, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I have edited my HH_0409... file and put the cities in. Now I am able to select the custom cities as new locations but I get the "unable to download..." message for those cities whil the original cities will download weather just fine.
Any ideas?
thanks.
good stuff

you need to either copy the patched manila2d.exe file over to /windows or change the DNS server addresses. I tried both methods and they work. They're both in the instructions.
Thanks!

Hey I appreciate the help...I am up and running now. I had saved the Manila2D.exe file to my storage card--I thought I just had to run it like a .cab but obviously (I overlooked it before) you have to save it to /windows. (I didn't have to mess with the DNS settings and I was able to simply enter using the zip code method.)
Guys like you are an asset to the forum...

can you do a step by step using total comander, I stil get a message that the files can not be replaced
I have the same problem. I am using a touch cruise with chavon bravo's rom. Cant move the manila file to windows.
NOTE: OPEN THE XML WITH NOTEPAD, NOT WORDPAD.
Word pad will translate foreign characters and will corrupt the XML file.
I did the step by step instructions, copied both files to the windows folder, and then restarted touchflo. Wheni go to Select location, its completely blank. Any ideas on this one?
still nothing
i'm using hyperdragon IV IOLITE, with touchflo but same trouble, when i've update the XML the new location appears, but when i sync nothing comes, but if i overwrite the patched Manila2d.exe now doesn't come up the manilla.
i don't need the Connection setting, cuz i'm a Mexican user, i've my own settings.
any idea, anybody know if the Hyperdragon IV IOLITE has already the manilla patched version?
this is the change in the XML NAM|MX|MX019|MONTERREY, the original MONTERREY has MX005 and comes with other weather forecast not from my city
i've tried two ways, overtwritin' the original Monterrey item, and adding another as MonterreyNL, and as i told you, in both ways the new setting pops now but can't get weather and in the other locations JUST FINE!!
Custom M2D Weather
hi guys, maybe I have the definitive solution to setting new cities on M2D weather. (or at least on my Kaiser go on)
1) in M2D weather set one city whatever you want is indifferent.
2) disable touchflo in today setup
3) open REGISTRY EDITOR and go on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then open software, then open HTC, then open Manila2D, then open Weather here you have two choice "0" and "setting" in both of them there are two item: "Location" and "Location Code". (you have to modify the item in "0" and in "setting")
So, when you tap in Location, you have to insert a string like this:
Caprese Michelangelo, It (first city name and after the nation)
When you tap in location code, you have to insert a string like this:
eur|it|it016|Caprese Michelangelo
If you want repeat for other city. At the end enable touchflo on the today screen again and upgrade the weather.
Work fine for me on my Tytn II.
original manila
where can i get the original manila2d? cuz i dont like the patched one
pincopinco,
You the man!! Just tried it on my TyTNII and worked first time! Outstanding!

I seem to have deleted a DWORD in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS because the keyboard was in the way and I rewrote a DWORD by mistake. Could anyone please list all DWORDS under HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS?
FINALLY a simple fix-Thanks!

Man, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the first fix that worked easily without messing up something else. City data now updating like a charm on my Vogue. Thanks again for sharing.
