Since this morning my weather app. is not working anymore and I'm using the HTC HOME plug in it says " Unable to retrieve data for selected city. Select here to retry."
Can someone help me. I removed them already, reinstall them but doesn't work with any city.
Help please.
Just checked mine and it updated fine... Everything else working fine like browsing, checking emails, etc.?
Might want to copy that entire message into Google along with 'HTC Home Customizer' and do a search. There's various links to threads in them but I couldn't look too in-depth as to what the problem might be from.
Good luck!
There looked to be a post on here too but it was like 50+ pages, yikes!

Looked ok at first but digging further mine hasn't updated since Sunday 11/25.
Same problem with the weather here too. The last time I checked it was this morning, and it has stopped working since. I tried some random cities, and they did not work either.
(georgemera, try to be more specific with the thread title (e.g., at least, HTC Home weather not updating). I wouldn't have bothered reading if I didn't accidentally click it...)
me too
I'm also experiencing this issue, I haven't seen an update since Sun. I've been roaming all over the US since Thurs. but this has been my only issue. I too have searched but don't yet have a working fix. Anyone know if this is an AT&T-specific issue? I see that T-Mobile customers have had this problem in the past.

No problem...its actually really simple. Click on the City if you already have one selected as I guess you do. Then click on menu > weather options > and select fahrenheit.

thanx alot
The HHC custom database pulls the data from a different weather server. During the install, this reg key is modified to redirect any requests from your phone going to htc.accuweather.com to this other server. Most likely the server is not responding.
I found this in the registry...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Hosts\htc.accuweather.com]
"ipaddr"=hex:40,3E,9E,6C
This points htc.accuweather.com to 64.62.158.108
I found this thread and it has HTC Home 2.1 there. Now the cities are added directly to the XML file (different format) and the new patched Home app reads zip codes too. I'm getting data again.
From reading thru the thread, it looks like N2A (guy running the weather server) has disabled the IP based weather server, or something to that effect. anyways, the new version and method of adding cities works for me.

Can someone tell me how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance.
follow the link I provided above. On that thread you will find the Schen's 2.1 Home cab install. Remove your exisiting install of home, d/l and install this new one, then follow the directions in that thread for adding your city.
I do notice that on my Weather screen it doesn't auto update until I go to it, then it takes like 15secs but I'm not gonna mess with it. Apparently I'm pretty lucky here compared to others...

that's the way it works, HTCs idea of auto is refresh when I get there, not refresh in background. no worries, it usually goes pretty fast....

No it doesn't work, and there is no GPS option either. That option is not yet available to work on the device yet.
Awesome. Thanks....
Nice. Google navigator 4 allows you to use street view with gps also..
Yes, it does. This is FREE though and Navigator 4 costs $$$$$.
How is this better than the standard google maps application?
because you can view 360 degree street images. which is all explained in the first post.
I'll tell you right now. This app has already saved my butt. The 360 view totally helped me find what I was looking for. Oddly enough, it was a strangely inconspicuous bowling alley.
Works good on Treo 750.
haha this app is so cool..
ive just been sitting here traveling the country..
thanks for this.. good find.. works perfectly
Google Maps 2.2.0.20 RELEASED
doesnt have street view but the "transit" tab finally works with subway train routing, least in NYC! Goodbye HopStop.com
Neat, but not as user friendly to me. Lack of My Location and GPS definitely hurts. I'll wait for a a windows mobile version.
Does this not work with WiFi? i never use my phone network for internet. 95% of places i go have a wifi connection i can get.
its saying... "this application requires a data connection. please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info"
any ideas?
If you want GPS, get the TOM TOM 7
me a newb
Hellow im a newb how do you install this?
I love this widget, best news widgets I've used. I love how it scrolls through all the top news stories, the problem is the scrolling doesn't continue if the phone goes to sleep. I dont know if its normal or not. Anyone here using this widget and having the same issue? After I re-add the widget to the homescreen or if I restart Launcher Pro it scrolls beautifully, then the phone goes to sleep and just stays on one news story after I wake it up.
I didn't know that the widget allowed you to scroll.

The auto scrolling of the news topic, not physical scrolling. Sorry for the confusion.
Bump, anyone?
Probably your WiFi disconnects, when your phone goes to sleep..then no more news can be loaded.

Anyway to fix that?
do u mean that the scrolling stops after u wake the phone up or that it isnt scrolling when its asleep?
to check wifi settings->wireless and networks -> wifi settings -> press the settings key on the phone -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy

The scrolling stops after I wake up the phone
Ive tried on wifi and on 3g and still the same.
Exact same problem here (but on EVO), totally unable to resolve it. Please post if anyone finds a solution.
Same problem on my galaxy s. The news stop rolling after the screen is turned off... I use the transparent one. Pls if anyone can find a solution pls post it cause i love this widget...
hi,
any idea if it s possible to get the apk of this widget for install it on another device?
Yes it is, i'm not allowed to post link although the .apk has been posted in the XDA forums. Just google geniewidget.apk and you'll find it.
I use it on my galaxy s, with the aforementioned problems.
hi,
i just found it and installed it
works like a charm, except, because the default language (and only available) of my device is english, i can t get french news like i use to have on nexus.
any idea if i can force it somewhere?
thxx for your help
Maybe if you give a french key word on the custom topic tab, it will search for french news.give it a try.
Too bad about the scrolling. Let the dev know.
For weather I use Snowstorm. Shows the weather wherever I am for the next 24 hours in 6 hour icons. Perfect, although must be installed internally or the widget is lost by Android.
well, when i use a french word as keyword, it search it in english news website....

this one did not work better on my SGS and it's not the tranparent version as well.
I don't have this problem. Try to clear the app data under settings/applications/manage

I've already tried this but no result. But today i found what's the cause of the problem.I have flyscreen installed and i use it as an locksreen replacement. So whenever the screen unlocks without passing through sgs's default locksreen it stucks! Strange thing but true! When i deactivate the option to replace lockscreen everything works like a charm.
Hey Guys, looking for some help please.

Thanks

I have to update mine manually most times. I've had a quick look at trying to change the widget to just a clock because I don't need the weather bit

Remove it then put it back on
I had a similar problem in the beginning. Make sure some Google location services are on and also untick the fast boot option... Both of these are in so e sort of settings screens. Then restart
Don't know why, but this helped me.

I had tried everything and was to give up and take it back to the store for an exchange until i got to town and realised it had fixed itself, coming back home, it had changed back to united kingdom, guess it's just my house. Thanks a lot for everyone's help !! Xda has a great community

Just purchased a UK unlocked Nokia Lumia 530 to play with. Ive noted that Cortana does not seem to be installed even though I am running Cyan which I thought was the latest version of 8.1?
Ive made sure my regional settings and keyboard are set to UK as I had read that this could cause issues if set incorrectly.
Any pointers would be appreciated

Yep, all of the above settings are set. I did note that when setting up the phone and often after a restart it defaults the date to 1st July 2014 so I've had to manually set the date. The sim, phone and account are all new.
Im assuming that I should see an application called Cortana listed. The particular feature I'm after is the quiet hours feature of Cortana.

Ive been right through the settings and cannot see anything about Cortana or quiet hours anywhere.

test it by setting everything to USA , and look if it then works
Set the phone to US. It restarted a couple of times and downloaded various language packs but no Cortana.
I cannot see Cortana in the app list or anywhere to enable it in settings.
Im well versed with IOS and Android including rooting and fiddling with Cyanogenmod so am not a total numpty when it comes to Mobile devices but due to being a Windows Phone newbie I could be getting something basic wrong...
Thanks for your help so far.
Woohoo.. Got Cortana working by fiddling with the regional settings. I've now got the phone set as A US phone and it's now working. The language for the keyboard can stay as a UK keyboard so the £ appears correctly when typing. Weather reports in Cortana show as Fahrenheit and not centigrade but I can live with that for now.
I guess this means that Cortana is not fully supported on my phone in the UK yet?

Ive only had my 530 for a week and have not made/received many calls as yet BUT I have noted that the top of the phone does seem to get hot when on a phone call.
Ive signed my device up to the developer program which allowed me to download an update to the phone and hey presto, Cortana works when phone is set to the UK. Problem solved...
I guess Cortana doesn't speak the King's English ?
