Fahrenheit Celsius - Make sure you are using the right one - The one you are most familiar with - Also - I've noticed that the HTC Weather is not always very accurate - Depending on when it was updated last at the source and when you last updated it. If it found your city and it is updating you should be good to go. If it is always wrong, then you might want to make sure that your device (Weather plugin is pointing to the right city *(Check your city code in the registry on your device compared to that from the Accueweather website for your city weather) make sure that it is the same. You will see the city code in the URL on the accueweather website for your city. I personally don't use the HTC Home Weather plugin very much anymore as I am using the Marsware WeatherPanel Plugin now in my Ultimate Launch setup. It is a much nicer display and gives alot more detailed weather information.

Hi everyone,
Just got my Cingular 8525 the other day (upgrade from my Wizard). So far so good but I'm looking for a program that lets me see my local weather when connected with my WIFI. I've searched the web and forums but have only been able to find paid ones.
Are there are free ones out there?
Thanks in advance.
http://ppcwarez.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12360&highlight=weatherpanel
This is, in my opinion the best one out there, you can specify radar maps (.jpgs)
for your local area, many different icon sets, very customizable.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
i love this one

Doh! didn't check out you're link... looks like the OP has found a winner.
Hrmm.... I'm looking for something that's free if at all possible.
The second one only seems to support cities for the US. I live in Canada so that didn't help. Thanks for your efforts though
EDIT: Weather Watcher seems to be the winner!
weather apps
I don't know any freeware weather app, but for me the bests are from sbsh and spb
The first one lets you customize the weather sources,
The other has a nice graphical interface and lets you to download (and create anmations) images from webcams
greetings to all
Weather Watcher seems to be the only PPC Weather Forecast freeware, and it is really clean and usefull... But no today screen integratin.

FYI: Mike Singer, the developer, is extremely responsive to requests. WW PPC is not his first priority, but he does answer any and all email.
Has anyone figured out how to change the weather location reported in the HTC plugin. I live in an area not listed in the initial setup (Sacramento, CA) and I found a few registry entries to change, but it did not seem to change the display. In fact, I think I might have broke it!!
I somehow got it to work the second time i tried it. I first reset it back using the interface, then edited the registry and added my city. Works great.
Could you explain exactly the modification ?
Thanks.
You can find the registry entry here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
HTC
HTCHome
Weather
Settings
You need to change the Location name and Location Code keys to match the format found on Accuweather.com for your City.
Press OK and save changes.
Backup your Registry first just incase.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
is it possible to "REPROGRAM" the "weather icon" on the htc today screen ??? i would like to launch another program instead...thank you
format
<city name="Tampa, US" locationcode="NAM|US|FL|TAMPA|33601"/>
best i can tell the above is the correct syntax for getting cities in the list but aside from the above city and a couple of MAJOR cities i cannot get this to work on any smaller cities or towns. anyone come up with anything else?
It wont work for me either :0( - after the change it wont download?
If it's possible, anyone could do a tutorial for the weather change screen ?
Sorry for my bad english....
Many thanks.
Works a treat, thanks
Well, it works like a charm for me. Happy to see that you can actually change the city name too (mine is now Amersfoort, without the NL).

Not all the locations ( supported by the service ) work with the HTC server side plugin
Poor engineering

If this is true, HTC deserve one serious slap around their wrists...
I'm unable to change my weather city to Holiday, FL 34691 myself...tried a couple different variations, but it's just not holding.
So, I'm wondering...there are a FEW bigger US cities not included in this AccuWeather plugin app that HTC is using - when the phones are officialy released in N. America in the (hopefully) near future, will these cities be added as supported options? I mean, no Denver? Tampa?...but St. Petersburg...!?!?

Denver works fine for me. I was upset I couldn't get more specific and use Boulder or Superior though.

oh, I didn't try adding Denver, I was just looking at the included list of cities.
Could someone point me in the right direction for changing the weather - i cannot find the file on my touch to change the details. I followed the lead posted earlier but can't for the life of me find the appropraite file to change.
Changing Weather city
Hi all
Quite simple to change the defined weather cities. Just download a registry editor like Mobile Registry Editor (http://www.breaksoft.com/Download/MRE/MobileRegistryEditor.zip) which allows you to edit the registry from your PC using ActiveSync. Then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
And change the Keys Location and LoctionCode to the new city. To know the city code find it on http://www.accuweather.com/.
Cheers
you could always move to a city that is listed, this would resolve the problem....

Read the instructions when you download it. It kind of takes a process. You have to find accuweather's weather code for your city, then go into weatherbase editor, go to your country, then go to menu, add city. Fill in the appropriate fields and in the last field you will have to write your weather code. For example, mine is NAM|US|NE|BELLEVUE.
You can find your code by going to the accuweather international site http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 and then type in your city and country. Once you find it, check the URL for your local code (usually at the end) that will look like the example I gave you. Hope this helps.
I finally did it.
Thank you both very much

I have the same problem. I added my city (Boxmeer, The Netherlands) to my list after installing some cab (Boxmeer isn't in the standard list).
It does display today's weather, but if you tap the 5 day forecast, nothing happens... and the weather tab kind of freezes.
ROM: 1.93.404.1
Radio: 1.00.25.25
The natural question would be: Does it work for any of the other, more major, on the list already, cities? For example, does it work for London?
I would suspect that it's just getting the 5 day forecast from some weather service. If Boxmeer wasn't on the default list then perhaps the weather service doesn't provide any more than one day's worth of weather info for that city.
Maybe there is a slight error with accuweather code, it has to letter perfect. I would try re-entering that in the weather database editor and see what happens. Remember to use the international site for the correct code.
Here is a weather database that contains every USA city, some Canada, and some Mexico. Plus it has every Stock HTC City. Every city has correct Timezone info has well. overall this has over 33,000 cities in there.
I have also routed everything through my site, and updated N2A script a little, converted everything to Fahrenheit to make it more accurate, and a few other smaller changes.
This will also have your correct timezone info for your state and everything else, it works great, and does not have the timezone bug, that has been on some users.
It will work on all V2.x manila files, on all resolution,
Right now picking world clock is a pain, I plan to expand that and make it easier, I just want to get this out there and get a feel for how its working.
Second issue is it can be slow to load at times, that is because its so many cities, this will be fixed in future has well.
Download here
Instructions
Install cab, restart device, enjoy your weather

V 0.1 (North America)

THANKS TO N2A, GhettofreeRyder, and many others
SSSWWWWEEEETTTTT!!!! Thanks for this.
any chance there is a patched exe for manila2D MEGA?
I can try and convert everything to XML if that would help, and post that file in here,
file right now is done in SQLlite, so wont work, i have databases though, that I can convert to xml for you.
that would be great..
however, I stil dont know how to weather path the manila exe. I tried reading it in hex last night and it made my eyes loose focus.
I will try again tonight and see if I can make it work.
here is the XML of that data. should help you some.
where does this file go?
cointelbro
put the file in windows folder and soft reset, yuo need also a patched exe!!! but I've not find it yet...
@ conflipper
I've italian database from my diamond, can yuo help me to port it for new manila?
thanks!
if you want to post the diamond file, in here i can get it posted, I will have to look up time zone info and add all that in there. but post the files you have and I will get them going, saves me time of looking everything up.
if anyone has other countries has well, let me know and i can get those going has well.
Thanks a lot! You are very kind!
This is the file of diamond, there is a big mistake of grammar, Abbruzzo is wrong, abruzzo is right
Timezone Italy -60
can this be done on the old m2d as well or just v2
It is actually missing some of the stock cities from the standard ROM. My city, Lakewood, Colorado (80226, suburb of Denver) was in the stock VZW ROM, but is not in here. Not surprising, as Lakewood is missing from METAR and other weather sources too. Bummer for me, but I'll live.
Need help please!!
The times for the cities are inconsistant.
I am in Milwaukee Wisconsin GMT-6 Central.
If I add Milwaukee, the time is ahead 1 hour. However, if I add Manitowoc for example, (same state,timezone, etc) the correct time is displayed.
If I go to change the local time for Milwaukee to the correct time, it changes me to GMT-5 Eastern, and when I reset, the time is now behind 1 hour.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Missing City?
I tried to add my own city, but it was missing. I live around 100 miles from Washington, DC (stock HTC city), but it was missing as well.
In reading the assorted entries related to editing the weather database, I get the impression that while accuweather US might have my city, this database is limited to cities in accuweather international. Is there some method by which I could input my zip code and find the nearest city that does appear in this database? Right now I'd be happy with a method to display a text listing of all the cities in Maryland.
Would someone please post a location/instructions where I can download the original (HTC stock) database?
Thanks.

Use the app located at the link in my signature to add cities.
You can use a zipcode for the accuweather code if it is a U.S. city.
You should update your signature to include information such as hardware and rom and update your profile so that it is easier to say your carrier and region. In another thread, I say you are using the Energy Rom, but for which device?
In any case, if you want to add the city, you will need the program that I wrote. All Energy ROMs that use that build number are Manila 2.1 or higher. My program now also supports latest versions of Sense 2.1 and Sense 2.5.
