I have just updated to the latest ROM and have gone back to the HTC clock now it isn't so sluggish. This incorporates weather but my town isn't recognised. So I just get my town name and no weather. Now on all the weather sites if I put in my town it just has the same data as Norwich so I'd be happy if it showed me the weather in Norwich when I am in Wymondham.
Any way to do this?
Cheers
Same problem here. Any solutions?
For some reason it doesn't seem to like wi-fi, are you connecting via your phone network? It seems a bit of a law into itself though, where I live it seems to update with no consistency, often claiming no data but at other times working properly. On the other hand while out for a drive in the middle of nowhere the other day I notced it was picking up and naming every town we passed, even if they consisted of 3 houses and a sheep!
Yeah, the same thing happend to me. I was driving to my cousin's (50mins drive), it was working beautifully - changing the location and updating. However, at home it's not working at all. At home I use wi-fi, but even when I go to work and switch to my network's internet it's still not picking up anything. Frustrating.
What's annoying is that if you go to the website which the app pulls data from (I'm not sure how I got it to come up right now but it was via the app) it has my town listed, which is what why I thought it might have something to do with data and location marking or somesuch.
On top of this, If I go to town (still in the same area as my phone says my home is) I get the info.
The exact same situation here. I've added my town manually to the list and it's working absolutely fine! Yet the current location (which displays the right name of my town) is displaying no data. So annoying!
So whenever I want to check the weather I have to go to the seperate widget to check and am not able to do that on the clock-weather widget.
I removed the original widget, and added it back with my explicit town, now works fine.
shame the auto-location one doesn't work though.

I can't seem to do this as my actual town is not on the list. Despite this sometimes it shows my town under the clock with the weather yet if I go into the weather widget application is says no data available!!!

annoying; you'll just have to pick the nearest town that is on the list, and put up with the "wrong" name, at least until the main issue is fixed.

What i found worked was leave it on 'current city' when your somewhere that is actually in the list, refresh the weather app and it will show the weather for that area. After that when you get back it keeps the weather up. Well thats what mine has done, where i live isnt in the list either but i know have weather when i didnt when i first turned it on.
Another point on this one, if it can't get any weather details it doesn't show you the date either!
Can you force the weather on the clock to just stay on a city of your choice?

Good question; I've assumed that if you add a city manually, when adding the widget, then it would stay on that city even as you move around. But perhaps it doesn't. Clearly I need to get out more
Didnt work for me. I had to do a data wipe. Worked fine afterwards. Although I backed up my SMS data so I didnt lose anything

I might be blind, but I can't find where you can remove the widget and add it back again?

It's not obvious until you've done it once, agreed
to remove widgets in the Sense UI, you touch-and-hold them for a few seconds, then drag them down to the "Remove" area that has appeared at the bottom, and which turns red when you're over it. Then release.
In the same way, you can move widgets about....
Then, hit the + button, or just touch-hold on the backgroun, to add a widget back.
apols if you knew all this and I've missed the point...

Thanks, but it was my fault. I didn't realise the thread was about the Sense UI. I am running M2D.

Turn on Google Location in google maps and that should do it.
I've had the same problem sice I first got my Leo. I did a search and found another thread on the subject (can't remember where!). Unfortunately it fizzled out before a proper solution was found. But from what I remember of it, the post above is on the right track.
The weather effect on the Today screen is tied in to the 'My Location' function on the Weather screen, which in turn gets your current location from Google Maps.
If the 'My Location' feature on Google Maps doesn't work, your weather will not update on the Weather screen and therefore the weather effect will not work on the Today screen.
Also, and this is particularly frustating, even when the 'My Location' feature on Google Maps does work (as mine does), often the feature still does not work! This seems to be dependent on your actual location in the country...
I also remember seeing some older posts from the States saying that the 'My Location' service in Google Maps is 'switched off' for many US providers. But that may be out of date, by now...
Maybe the above will give you some useful keywords to run through search engines...
Good luck!
I've NEVER had the "my location" feature working, either on my HD with a Leo ROM, or on my HD2. None of the suggestions on the forums have worked for me either, so I've given up on it.
You can remove "my location" from your weather tab with the cab by Dutty at the bottom of this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4935494&postcount=2
Once you've done that, manually add your own city/cities and then go to the home tab, click the clock, and make sure you have your city selected. Then, you should get get the weather for your selected city.
That's the way I've got it anyway, and it works for me. I'd like "my location" working, but I don't travel so much that I can't keep track of where I am myself! lol
Good luck!
Spot on, JohnC...!
I'd always missed out the step of choosing one of the manually selected locations in the WorldClock app before. That was why it wouldn't work for me.
I'm still hoping for a solution to the 'My Location' problem though, so I'm leaving that switched on for the moment...
Btw... If you find you cannot select your own town/city because it is not available in the list, you should do a search on here for 'WeatherCityEditor', which is a nice little tool that will allow you to add more towns...
fixed it now, basically it was the location thingy, i had disabled it ages ago in the hope of saving battery or something like that lol, its back on now
I'd followed your step but still cannot back to weather wallpaper.
Help me please

So you have the little weather icon under your clock, but you don't have the full screen weather effect? If that's the case you just need to tap menu on the home tab, press home wallpaper and select weather wallpaper.
I personally had to disable My Location because it defaulted on my whole state as opposed to me city so it wasn't entirely accurate. But even though I've manually set my location, it still sometimes defaults to 'My Location' on the home tab and I need to tap the clock and reselect my city. Any fix for this?
Not sure if this is how its supposed to work. Defintiely not in my mind. The auto-update should work even if the weather tab is not in focus.
I.e. if my phone stays on Home screen forever and weather is set to update every 3 hours, the weather on the home clock should reflect it. However, this "auto-update" is not happening and to get it to update I have to click weather tab everytime.
Any ideas/cabs floating around ?
I cant get my location to work.
and if it did, it will put me in wrong location, thousands of miles away from where I am really are

has the weather actually updated if you go into the weather tab?

Yup, once I reach the Weather tab, i see the last update time in there (from many hours past, the last time I had accessed it). And immediately it connects and updates with latest weather and time.

i have the same situation and i am too quite annoyed by it.
I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that you've not got a 1.66 ROM. This was a problem in all ROMs prior to 1.66, but is fixed in that.
There is no fix available anywhere for just this problem. If you're that bothered by it then you have to upgrade your ROM version.
The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.
Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing
Confusing, yes
Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.
author unknown. It's better that way.
sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!
All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".
Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.
On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.
When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.
The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.
hope this helps

I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
hey you guys, i had to reflash my phone today, and when i was at the homescreen instead of showing the weather for my city, it showed the weather for somewhere else. i added my city , and tried to remove the one it shows up now, but there wasnt a option to remove it, just to remove the city i put in. help anyone????????
make sure your gps postioning is on then it will change cites based on gps
yeah i tried that but it always seems to get my city wrong, so i found out that if u hit the clock on the home screen it will give u the option to change cities

Nothing to do with gps, my location doesnt use gps. It gets the data from the phone masts.
Go to the weather tab. Place your finger on the screen and swipe down until your location comes up. Go back to home tab. Weather should match.
my stock rooted sense rom has a giant clock with some animated weather stuff overlay-ed. it it messing up.
it shows the weather as 0, even though its about 23
there is no high or low info
it just says delphi (my city) to the left underneath side of my giant clock
i can add citys as they added cities seem to work, but these added city cant be "my current" city
i did a nandroid back up and did a factory reset and set the phone back up and the weather did the same thing
so i did a backup restore and it once again it was still acting up
i have the weather set to "current location" and drove to another city and it change city's but still couldn't display the animated icons on the home screen or one the weather widget was actually opened
when i scroll through the other two citys i set up the weather becomes animated but not on the home screen
i have deleted the widget and created a new one- no change
i tried to add my city manually but cant because it isn't listed when i type it in
any help would be apprecitaed
there is a chance that there is a software problem and i maybe didnt foramt the phone correctly but i doubt it.
yeah htc servers are acting up.
might be working for some now?
Same here, all night mine has only said the time, Springfield(my city), and the date. That's all. I'm rooted with Ava v10 and modded blue sense clock.
Sent from my EVO's 4G You?........I thought so
