Hi
The weather under the clock on the home screen is set using 'my location' data; however this is invariably wrong and currently I am being told the forecast for a town in Estonia despite being in the UK.
Is it possible to 'fix' the location for the home weather screen just as with the weather tab?? Its incredibly annoying!
Ps. Brown is classy!
Same problem here... Actually I'm in Italy but the locator tells I'm in Urumqui (CN).
I use the search option in the forum, but seems there isn't any weather database compatible with this Manila version.
Shoud work with the xml file and I tryed to edit manually but with no luck...
Who knows
It's normalous,
I life in countryside and my htc mega made for me similar. But when I go to see my girlfriend at The closest city, the weather appears.
It's maybe (i think) because the phone search our position with the GPS and in certain places, it's lost.
It's my mind.
PS : sorry for my english
I don't understand...
My Rhodium localization works also without any additional database and the Mega beside not, same operator cell
same problem
Hello,
Since a few days I have a new Touch2 of T-Mobile.
If this is not my first WinMobile phone, but the first one, the location detection with no GPRS riff.
With GoogleMaps, I find myself back in Iran.
Now, using the weather plugin on the home page, the location determination via GPRS, is now also knows I like the weather in Tehran.
Experimenting with the "location settings" and also with AdvanceConfig in the settings for GPRS and HSDPA has brought nothing.
Sorry for my bad english.
for weather, press start, go to widget, click "directory" or so and choose weather. you will find the actually temps in homescreen

Sorry, but there is no app to change that for Homescreen.
Only for accuweather.
This Homescreen change only by GPRS.
I started a supportcase with HTC today, as my information had been updating though at some point it just stopped to work.
If any more news surfaces I will let you all know, keep in mind that HTC uses the Google location services. There might be the problem of this specific problem.
make sure location services is activated. It can be found in the settings. Try that.
Just to put the problem in perspective
- I am using Telfort (Dutch provider, who roams on the KPN network)
- Google maps is able to locate my position with the information of CellID
- All the required settings are checked: location-settings at settings\system
- All roaming options are checked at the Weather options screen (at the homescreen)
- Exchange Activesync works over the UMTS/HSDPA network
What did I do until now:
- exchange my Telfort sim (roaming on KPN) with my T-Mobile sim (not roaming), result > issue not resolved
- factory reset with T-Mobile or Telfort, result > issue not resolved
- Google maps with location on CellID works all the time.
What asked HTC to check out:
- check all the weather/location based settings, result > everything should be as it is set
- if the issue resolves when turning on Wifi & connect to a Wifi network (all networktraffing goes via the Wifi connection), result > Weather does update???
My conclusion at this moment is that somehow the HTC Weatherinformation on the homescreen is not able to use the UMTS/HSDPA network to update it's information while Exchange Activesync works flawlessly.
Currently awaiting further replies to my findings from HTC
(oh sorry my phone is set to Dutch )
A small update from my side, today I heard after troubleshooting with HTC that there might be a update coming to address the weather issue. Though, according to the Techie, this still needs to be confirmed. She could not say if I am the only one with the problem but I do know better.
Keeping you posted
Zero, thank you for the update on the unofficial HTC position.
The issue that you are experiencing is exactly the same as mine, the only difference is that my PDA have the Italian localization
Weather on home page not working
I also have a problem with the weather icon on the home page of HTC TouchFLO (with calendar, clock and weather). It always gives the message "No weather data available" - "geen weergegevens beschikbaar" when trying to update. The weather tab works fine, though.
I tried updating it via Wifi & Gsm (gprs). I even tried it outside with the Gps on and Google maps giving the correct position.
Start / Settings / System, Location Settings: this is turned on.
I also tried it in Brussels, with no success.
The manual says "... allows you to update the Home tab with the latest
weather information of your current location"
Where can I define the current location? Or what is used to define it?
It would have been easier if it used the same information as the weather tab.

If you want to weather the home screen is the same as in the weather tab, you should install it:

I installed Manila Home Weather Updater (with MortScript).cab and weather updates itself automatically when updates the weather in Manila tabs.
Thank you. I will try it.
On the web page it says: possible battery drain. This could be a problem...
With the original system, is the weather on the home page using the GPS to find the location?
HTC has released a radio update which updated my radio version from 3.48.25.27 to 3.49.25.05
discussed here on XDA
though this radio update did not solve my specific problem, I requested a SIM replacement for my 9 year old sim. Eventually that solved the complete problem.

I think that the weather on home screen is not updated by the gps. I tried to update before the gps but still nothing ...
Updated forecast is associated with google maps and the location of the phone.
Is updated via GPRS or wifi.
But why this does not work, I do not know

I found this update on the HTC. Link:

The update changed the radio, also helped to update the data on the home screen.
Weather on the home screen works
Still not working
I downloaded the update from HTC. Installed it with no problems but still weather will not work. It is still stuck on Hong Kong, where I first turned on the device, and will not update my weather here in China. I have done everything suggest on the posts I have read and still nothing. Also, it is not even giving me the correct weather for Hong Kong, which would at least be something.
Also, did that recent update affect the music player from HTC? Mine seems to have an interface I never saw before?

Weather on the home screen will be updated with the weather on the "weather" tab.
My gf has a Touch2 and i cant get the home weather to update with the weather tab like on my HD... I used the mentioned file with mort but still no results...
BTW is there a way to put My location like on TF3D? because i have only been able to manually set up my weather location. We live in the UK atm and have bought an unlocked Touch2 from handtec.co.uk.
Finally what Europe version do u download from HTC? When i go there it was Europe 1 and 2... Is there anyway i can see where UK and Cyprus is located?

Ever since I installed it, my weather won't update. It keeps saying that their is a data connection error, eventhough i am still receiving emails, and can get on the internet.
I then found this thread and tried changing these settings with no luck.

That worked, thanks a lot.
I also have a problem updating weather after a rom install. I get an error in the weather database when I go to execute it. The error is "file write protection of database couldn't removed"
Any ideas?
It seems the server of accuweather is down or something. My Touch Pro is working perfectly exept the weather won't update.
On other forums it is already comfirmed that accuweather won't update.
I have noticed the same thing here in Australia days with the weather not updating on my Touch Pro, also noticed its not updating on the old 2D Touch Cruise as well. This has been so for the last 2 days. Must be a problem with the server. Hopefully they fix it soon.
Weather problem [SOL]
Here is a solution.It Works.
I recently installed twolf's Weather 3D SE (Non-M2D Version) but have been unable to get it to update properly. Since then I've also been have having trouble getting the standard HTC Home Weather widget to update. My internet connection works fine & I can brwose with Opera & get up-to-the-minute weather on accuweather.com no problem. Anyone got any ideas what might be the cause of this?

try deleting and re-adding your weather cities
Still need help with this?
So, with the stock Touchwiz software you can not access the normal Android Settings menu for Location and by default the "Network Location" function is dissabled. I installed Open Home (which is a must for this phone imho) and now I can access the classic settings menu. I enabled Network Location then launched Google Maps. After a second or two it centered on a road in Bellevue, WA that is not too far from T-Mo headquarters, problem is I am on the East Coast of the US. I pulled the battery and reboot the phone. Upon reboot I opened Google Maps again and it quickly found my approx location correctly but then within a second or two it switched back to this phantom location in Washington state. Has anyone else experiences this? If so is this a glitch with my phone or a known issue witht he TouchWiz/Android OS? I really need this functionality in order for the phone to be useful for me. Anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks a ton!
posted this over @ tmobile forums in your thread
same with me ,,same location ,, spent some time on the phone with a tmobile rep no go ,, so it looks like its something with the phone . I got ddms going in the SDK and found that the location mamager keeps using a cached location .If you use anycut app and make a shortcut for the phone info ,you can see the radio state and under location , it keeps switching from LAC=8e92 cid=d0a6a5( my real location) to LAC=unkown CID=unkown
Great information, thanks!
So I guess the only hope is for Samsung to release a fireware update that would include a fix for that. I hope they update to 1.6 or 2.0 at sometime in the near future. That is a real hassle.
I know but hopefuly it will be 2.0
Ah Ha! I think I have it figured out. I went to "Manage Applications" and found a program called "Network Location". I selected delete data and then went back to google maps. It found my true location and has not yet defaulted back to that phantom Washington location. I have not traveled anywhere yet though to see if it will update when I move. Give this a try and let me know if it works for you too.
I tried that ,didnt work ,found my location for a minute then went back to Washington,,
Yup, mine just reverted back too. It was good for a numbers of hours and kept updating even as I moved from place to place but then eventually it defaulted back to Bellevue. I guess I will just have to periodically dump the data until a fix is determined.
First off, my apologies for making a new Thread because of known problem, but I just feel helpless about it. I moved to Ukraine for a while and my Location Weather doesn´t want to update. Not even wit WiFi or ActiveSync connection. HTC people told me to try it with another SIM, but it didn´t solve the prob. I even made a hard reset. All HTC updates are already installed, but it stays empty. When I tip on “Tip to update weather”, it tries to connect, shows: “updating weather…” then it shows “no date for your location”. The city calls “Uzhgorod” and it was even in stock weather list of HTC and AccuWeather. Is there a fix like in some customs ROM´s, to make it show the weather from the weather tab on the main tab or another solution for this annoying situation?
Thanks a lot!
Assume:
1 You installed the weather fix (hard reset!) ...http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=291&act=sd&cat=all
2 Enabled HTC location service
3 Selected your new home position in google maps
And my weather location is a buggy program......
Thanks a lot for your reply, but:
1. As I already said, HTC updates were installed, and this HTC fix doesn´t make a hard reset, or you ment, I should make a hard reset after it was installed?
2. HTC Location service is certainly activated.
3. I gave it a try, but unfortunately it didn´t help.
I could theoretically flash a Russian ROM, but they seem to have the same problems. Are Android HTC devices as buggy as our good Mega?
My last resort would be to install Avanced Configuration tools and put your town name and corrresponding Accuweather town location number in it.
Every time I ask google how the weather is it only shows me Mountain View CA's weather, but my location is set by the Wi-Fi network and I don't live in Cali. I tried to do a reset to no avail does anyone know how to change it? Also I noticed in the system apps under settings there is a dialer installed on the NP and contacts storage, isn't that a little odd?
Anyone?
No idea how to fix it but I see the same issue here.
Same here. Looks to be stuck in Mountain View, CA. Hoping an update comes out soon to fix the problem.
