Accuweather & HTC Weather Widget - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi,
The HTC widget seems to use accuweather for it's weather source.
The widget/app doesn't have data for my home location, although I can find it online on accuweather.
Is there a way to expand the search for the widget/app - or even change the source?

I too would also like to know this. There are instructions for the WinMob handsets but not the Android variants.

There is option "my location" on the top of the list of cities which
opens map view where you can select almost what ever location you want.

Changing Weather City Location in Calendar

I have my Weather tab in TouchFlo set to my local area (Torbay) and when I go to that tab that is what I get (plus any other towns/areas that I add). In the Calendar however the weather that shows for each day is always for London, even when my only weather location set in the Weather application is set to Torbay.
When I first got my TD2 I thought I had an option to set the 'default' weather location if I was using more than one town/area, but perhaps I imagined that because I cannot find it now!
Does anyone now how I get my calendar to show the same weather area (for me 'Torbay'), in both the Calendar and the Weather application?
I think it's using the first weather location as default. Try changing the order in the weather tab.
Tap on clock on home screen and there is "Add city" now choose your city in list and in clock settings mark it

Weather tab question

Can I somehow tweak the TF3D Weather tab in order to expand the selection of cities?
I live in Croatia, and I can only select 4 cities in the weather tab. However, AccuWeather.com has weather information for a lot more of them. Can I somehow get some of them to show on my Diamond?

No easy way to do it but THIS might help and you can read THIS as well.
Hope this helps

add custom city to sense weather

Hi friends, I can't find if there is a possibility to add custom city to sense weather. In TouchFLO it was able to do using weatherdatabase editor. Is there any similar app for android?
Hello, when you are in the main screen (home), tap on the weather symbol, the it opens an exclusive window, with forecast information, on the right lower side is a '+' symbol, here you can add a city that is registered within the weather db.
Hi spacebar75. I know this, but I want to add the city which is not in sense database. For example, for my country it is possible to add only 2 cities. But the Sense shouldn't have problem to display also another city which can be found in accuweather database with the code (for ex. EUR|SK|City|LO001). This worked on TouchFLO and WinMo. I just added new city with accuweather code using the application "weather database editor" and afterwards I was able to add this city in weather touchflo tab.
I am looking for the same way on android..
Hi, honestly don't know - hence i have used Beautiful Widgets before and there i was able to also add other (more) cities, than in the HTC Sense Weather app. (i live in a small village outside Stockholm, which i could find in BW, but HTC sense only gives me 'sweden'.
Probably one of the experts here knows more ?

I'm looking for the same.
My previous phone was een TP2, now i have a desire and i want the same option...
I live in a small town, when i'm there, it's no problem, but i cant add this town manually....
Hi. After a year, i am right now trying to solve that problem.
And i found this:
http://www.efferen.nl/2011/01/how-to-add-cities-to-htc-weather-widget-android/
Works great until i want to add the city in the Weather-Tab.
I get "null" in front of "City" and "Land"
After adding the City i get an Error from "Prozess.com.htc.Weather"
Any ideas around?

I can't add the city where I'm on the weather tabs.

I can't add the city where I'm on the weather tabs.
I can add all other available cities except the one where I'm curently.
Will try this week end if it's working from an other place far away.
How to add other cities, weather database editor is not working on Touch2?
It didnt work on mine too. So you cant. The only way is to put original ROM on the phone with the weather fix from HTC site, that will do the job.
But first you need to do HSPL on the phone if its not original HTC one.
Thanks for the answer, it's an original htc so will download and run the weather fix

Glad i can help mate Dont forget only one thing - after you put the weather fix, it still wont let you put new city in weather tab, but at least if you update via Home Screen it will show you the real location (where you are at the moment).
Still not working.
My city is on the liste but each time I try to add it even at an other location, it won't work. Other swiss cities are working.
Look, when you are out of your town and you Update the weather on Home Screen, it wont show you your town, but the town you are at the same moment.
Seems you didn't understand. the title is clear "I can't add the city where I'm on the weather tabs"
I'm not speaking on weather on home screen, but on weather on weather tabs.
The problem is that my city, available on the list on weather tabs won't work.
When you add a city on weather tabs, a new weather window open and the number of available weather's tabs increase. When I add Genève on the list, nothing happen but other cities like Lausanne are working. I've also a problem wiht Barcelona who is created but won't update.
Database problem?
Anybody can test please ?
Adding Geneva (switzerland) to the weather tab, is there a new weather city tab or not ?
Adding Barcelona (spain) to the weather tab, is there a new weather city tab or not ? did the weather tab update or not ?
Thanks
As far as I can tell, like all of HTC's so called updates for the Mega, the weather update does f*** all. Seriously, they've removed the mp3 ringtone "update" so even they must acknowledge that they arent working.

New Weather Widget vs Beautiful Widgets

I really like the style of the new Accuweather Widget on the SG2, however it just doesn't want to update itself as much as I would like it too. I do a bunch of traveling around and I used to use Beautiful Weather Widgets, which updates quite often your location and weather which I found to be very nice. But the Accuweather widget requires you to manually put in your location even though there seems to be a box for use my current location.
Anyway, is anyone having better luck with this new widget to auto update ones location and weather?
Thanks
