Weather function no longer works! - HD2 General

I have had my phone for about a month now, and use the weather function a lot by pressing just under the clock on the Home screen.
Today, out of the blue, I press it, and it appears to register (ie: the screen depresses) however nothing happens at all.
This happens regardless od whether I am connected to the internet or not.
The only thing I have installed is Resco Explorer, and made only a few registry tweaks, which I am sure were performed correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

try turning the tab off and then on again.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm a little new to all of this.
What do you mean by "turning the tab off"?

when you go to the weather tab, you can update the weather of your location?

I've seen this a few times, the weather area turns off white when you tap but doesn't open the weather tab.
simple soft reset cures it.

No soft reset didn't fix it.....but....
Yesterday I clicked Menu, Personalize Home Screen Tabs.
I UNchecked "weather" because I thought what's the point of having a tab for it when I usually just tap under the clock.
I re-checked it, and now it works! I'm so sorry to have wasted your time! But truly appreciate your efforts in helping me. Thanks guys.

My problem is different, but the question is the same.
i'm in holland and since halfway last week my location in the weather tab failed to update, but i did get weather information... until 2 days later. now the whole tab is unable to update its information.
the weather tab has been disabled and reenabled with a sense restart in between. yesterday i had rebooted the entire phone. both events did not help.
i tried enabling wifi for the weather update, but no luck there as well.
also, i'm not the only one. i have a friend with a newer rom (1 month old phone) who has the same problem.
any ideas?
oh and ps: the reloading animation starts up and loads for a while. then stops suddenly without notification of failure or success.
pps: found a more on-topic thread for my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589132

Clock missing from title bar...help anyone?

Hey I got my XDA Exec this morning which I'm really please about, been using it for a couple of hours but for some reason the clock has disappeared from the title bar in the today screen and I can't get it back!
Does anyone know what might have happened, about the only thing I've got installed is Pocket Plus 3.
Infact i've noticed that the volume icon is gone too, but if i click where it should be the pop-up appears for me to change the volume levels.
It's like there is something covering these two icons and it's driving me mad, having the time visible there is about one of the most useful things :twisted:
This is a common problem
This happened to me too. It was caused by the O2 software. If you do a search on this site using the words "clock missing" there have been many posts on this subject and the solutions of how to remove the O2 software are posted too.
The O2 interface also seems to slow up the machine and cause a lot of freezing requiring a soft reset. My machine has been tons better since removing it.
If you decide that you would rather have the clock than the O2 software (and most people do) and decide to remove it, remember first of all to save your phone and GPRS setting to your filestore! This can save you a lot of time. If you like the 02 today screen theme then you could save this too.
Also I recommend that you make a backup first so that you can go back to how you are now if you need to.
Good Luck
Open the clock and you should find an extra tab at the bottom called - "More" select that and a new option appears Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Neither of those options worked, in the end I hard resetted the device and set it up in corporate mode I found using a PIN I got by just searching google! No more O2 Active anywhere, and I've got my clock back! I'd only had the device a few hours so luckily it didn't take too long to set everything back up how it was before hand The only thing I had to do was manually set up the GPRS connection again but that was simple enough since I already had all the settings saved

Today items not refreshing. Anyone else??

Hi, Anyone else have the problem of the today items not refreshing on the start screen?
I mean like htc home, I change options or even untick it in today , and it still shows on the start screen until i soft reset.
Very strange.
Cheers.
Hheeelpppp !!!
Here too
I am having that problem too. Still trying to figure out what caused it. I had it before and the only way to fix it was to hard reset.
This time I paid attention and it started after i installed the newest Resco Explorer. I asked them for assistance and all I got was that since the problem wasn't inside Resco's software they can't help me. To be fair I don't know if their software caused it, all I know is that is that it started after I installed their software.
I have found that another way to get the Today screen to refresh is to change the Today screen's theme..
Hi, at least its not just me then. It's like i have HTC home, when i untick it in today screen, it still stays on my start screen. the only thing to do then is soft reset and it is off then. But its a pain when i am changing appearances etc as i have to untick,reset,change,tick,reset etc.
please help!!

Reminders wont sound and bubble wont appear.

I recently updated the firmware on my X1i and entered all my reminders again. The problem is that even though the correct check boxes are checked there is still the problem that the sound wont play and the bubble doesn't appear to notify me.
Any ideas?
fix reminders
i had this issue, and i dont remember where i found this solution, but im pretty sure its a common one. I dont know why this works, but it does
start/settings/system/clocks and alarms
switch your time to "visiting, hit ok and exit the clocks and alarms settings.
then open it again, switch back to "home" time, and viola!
I dont know why this works, but it does, and it usually sticks for quite a while, though i do occasionally have to do it again which is still unacceptable in my book, but I have yet to find a better solution than this.
Thankyou
This has fixed my problem, thanks loads.

Reminders no longer working, sound or pop up notification
Many thanks, confirm this fix of changing between clock 'Home' and 'Visiting' locations (along with saying yes to coresponding change of calendar times each time) fixed this issue for me to.
For reference I was using stock Sony R3A rom and believe this happened after I silenced an alarm set via the SPB Mobile Shell panel downloaded off Sony's own site. (Old WM, New X1 user so been holding off my re-flashing itch ;-)

Weird Notification Bar Issues

To start, I've installed BsB Tweaks, Co0kies Home Tab and Opera 10.
Once and awhile the notification bar will remain what program I was just in. For example, if I'm in the main Notification screen and go back to home, it will still say Notifications up top. Conversely, if I just exited Opera or Home Tab editor, those title bars will be up there, rather than the main notification bar. The only way I've found to get it back is to shut the phone down and restart it. Restarting Sense doesn't bring it back. I did a soft reset last night and it's done it once already today.
Any thoughts? I've searched quite a bit as I don't like to post if the question has already been answered.
TIA.

I think its Opera 10. I didn't have that happen prior to installing it, but I've not tweaked or installed anything since.
I've noticed it doesn't like being minimised either, causing Sense to lag into life, whereas every other prog I have is fine.

The phantom widget

Hello everyone, this is what happens:
If I turn off the phone with the power manager widget on the screen when you turn the phone the widget is not finished loading I can only see a gray rectangle and the only way to get it working again is to do a hard reset.
Thank you all, you are the best, and please forgive my English.
A little more information
I forgot to tell you that I also tested with the widget controls and extended SwitchPro and same thing happens with Power Manager
I know what you mean. I have to press one of the power control buttons 2 or 3 times then swipe to another page and back again. Not ideal but worth it as I like the widget.

dude hard reset what are talking about just give ur phone sometime and swipe to other page.. now when u come back to home page things will be normal..
nothing hapens
When I swipe the screen to an other page an come back to the main screen nothing happens.
You could try deleting the widget from the page then re-adding it, however I agree with warriorvibhu; giving the phone some more time should sort it. I've had happen a few times but it's always appeared eventually.
Also about other widgets
Do you also happen with other widgets like or SwitchPro Extended Controls?
