Hi hopefully someone can help me.
I live in Biggleswade in the UK and want to get weather updates for my HTC Touch.
I use HTC Home Customizer and have visited Accuweather and got the town code.
I filled in the details as follows
City: BIGGLESWADE
Location Code: EUR|UK|UK105|BIGGLESWADE (with no spaces in)
Country: UK (i have tried United Kingdom but with no success)
I then choose this as my default location and ensure the database is on custom as prompted.
I then cancel out (as there is no exit choice from the weather menu)
Then exit out of the customizer.
When i try to retrieve weather info it always says unable.
Any help please?

Hello to everyone, i`m a newb here but i`ve found a way tho add new cities to AccuWeather. I´ve just upgraded my phone to TNT.20273 Series "BETA" (Vanilla/Official/Professional), and one if the thigs that i would like it`s to have my city on it, So searching in this forum and in the internet i found a simple way to do what i whanted.
I find the file on my phone called HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml that is in the windows directory copied to my computer opened with notepad, be carefull that it`s read only you have to take this protection off go.
"Then go to accuweather.com and search for your city. In the url in the address bar, after it says .com, there will be a section that goes something like /us/”state name”/”city name”, where state and city names are the names of your state and city. If you live in the US, you location code will begin with the prefix NAM and will be like this: NAM|US|”state name”|”city name”. Europe’s prefix is EUR and will be like this EUR|”country name”|”country area”|”city name”. It is similar for other continents and countries" (thanks to this forum for this part)
And i`ve added a new comand line similler to another that i have from my country
Ex: <city name="Leiria, PT" loca="EUR|PT|PO011|LEIRIA" land="Portugal"/>
the original was:
<city name="Lisboa, PT" loca="EUR|PT|PO012|LISBOA" land="Portugal"/>
Close notepad put the permitions on read only, see in your phone if the program (accuwather) is working or not on task manager, copy the file you have just made to the windows directory on your phone replacing the one that exists, soft reset and it`s done. It worked on my Wizard.
For security if something goes rong it`s better you make a backup of the file , in case you do something rong.
Hope it helps
On accuweather.com I can't find in the address bar the right code ...
I need the city: GAETA but if i search this siti the result is this in the address bar: accuweather.com/it/it/lazio/gaeta/quick-look.aspx?cityid=213297
Why????
same for me. I couuldnt see the country and city code in the url bar

Dear all Geocachers!!
My name is Tom and let me introduce Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.
Last October, I bought my iPhone and searched lots of application from Apple Store.
One of most interesting application is "Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application".
Of course, I bought it and started to play Geocaching immediately. It is a lot of fun!!
At the same time, I searched Windows Mobile application for Geocaching like iPhone app.
But I could not find it. then I decided to develop a Windows Mobile application.
Past 2 months, I was working on it and Japanese Geocachers and friends was helping me to test it.
So, I think now is the good timing to introduce the Windows Mobile application to world wide Geocachers.
The application name is "GCz" and you can download it from below.
GCz is Freeware!!!
[Download from here]
http://www.nicque.com/PQz
[Requirement]
- Windows Mobile 5/6 Professional Device
- Mobile Google Map (free download from Google)
- Internet Connection
(Rcommend flat rate access services to the Internet. 3G/GPRS like.)
I attach some screenshots of GCz. please take a look.
If you have any question, suggestion, bug report, anything.
Please reply here. I would love to have your comment.
best regards,
tom

Okay Tom, this officially rocks!
I've installed it and had a poke around. I'm impressed with the search integrated with your login so it tracks which ones you've completed (most of my local ones!).
I also like the way that you got the gallery images linked to the caches.
[bug report]
Device: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
ROM: Generic UK R2A
Entering a UK postcode gives you the choice of 3-4 to choose the specific location area. Once the search has completed, you have the opportunity to open Google Maps. If Google Maps is installed onto the Storage Card instead of internal memory, the program fails with the message:
File not found. [\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe]
[suggestion]
Have a button that links to "My Profile" for things like Watchlists, Travel Bugs and My Friends.
Please keep up the good work on development. I'm glad someone has finally come up with a dedicated application for GC on WM.
Hi ZenithUK
Thank you for your feedback.
I will check UK postal code.
>> File not found. [\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe]
Please check Menu>Option>Google Map
You will see the path of Google Map and select correct application path.
regards,
tom

So, I suppose to add "UK" into the "Goecoding Locale" option of GCz.
(Now only "English"/"Japanese")
But I am not sure that is normal behaivior to add ' ' (Space) into postal code in UK.
e.g) M130AS -> M13 0AS
Do you have any idea?
thank you.
tom
Sweet app! Great Job....this should be posted in the dev section i think.
Hi hipocrazy
Thank you very much!! ;D
By the way, could you tell me how to move this to dev section? if you know.

Please visit above topic ;D
Thanks for the updates gech.
Yes it is common practice with UK postcodes to insert a space between the digits.
e.g.
Single digits... A1 2AA
Double digits... A12 3AA
Double letters... AA12 3AA
The last section of the postcode is always a single digit and two letters.
I didn't make myself clear about postcodes (my apologies!).
I entered my full postcode and it came back with 3 options of similar locations.
Entered AA11 1AA (not my real code)
The program returned AA11 1, AA11 2 and AA11 3
Given that a postcode typically covers 20-30 addresses, this isn't such a problem.
Like I said before, keep up the good work.
It didn´t work on my Uni
Maybe I´m not understanding well on how to use it
Thanks anyway
Android developers,
There is an app for windows mobile that allows users to add any custom city that has a code on www.accuweather.com see link below: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
I’m assuming that the database used for android is the same SQL Database, any chance a similar app can be developed for Android?
I’m sure it can be done manually using a SQL database editor, but for that the android device would have to be rooted.
better try Weather Widgets
There used yr.no database (huge one), as I tested this app, there were no mistakes in forecasts.

I too would love that someone develop this. My city is not listed in the stock HTC weather widget. However it does exist in the accuweather database. When I was using my Jade (WM) I could add my city using several apps. I've been searching all around in the android forum but so far to no avail. Thanks
Quiet a grave-dig, but searching the forum i didn't find another thread that would answer this question. Did anyone find a solution for HTC weather - how to add city to the database?
Please help, i am very interested for this solution, and just can't believe that Windows users have such functionality and Android doesn't.
An answer and a question:
Answer - The DB is in SQLite format and is stored (on my DINC, at least) in the data\data\htc.provider.weather\files folder as WP_0409WWE.db.
Get a SQLite editor (I got the free SQLiteExpert Personal edition) and edit the locationlist table. You can look at other entries to get the gist of the data entries you need. Just be careful that you get the timezone info and the Accuweather codes (in the "code" colum) correct.
Caveat - You will need a rooted phone and Root Explorer in order to copy the db to your PC and put it back on the phone.
Now for the question - Has anybody else had the clock/weather widget on the home screen get "lost"? The "current" location is usually right on the money. Just noticed a little bit ago that it is now showing Simpson Bay. By the temp and weather, obviously Simpson Bay, St Maarten (don't I wish!)
Everything else, Google, Google Maps, etc, shows my correct location (Charlotte, NC). But the weather widget insists that I am on St Maarten. Wishful thinking I guess...
Same here HTC Desire, a smaller town about 15 miles away, it's really random when it 'lies' but it is quite annoying, also it may be a conspiracy but it seems to mostly do it when I'm trying to show off the awesomeness of the phone to BB and iPhone friends.
Hello!
I need add other cities the weather tab of TouchFLO.
I m not able to add my city which is not in the list
Is there any Solution to manually add Cities?
Thanks
I would like to know to because there are a lot of citys are not on the list eg. Tauranga in New Zealand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439399
will try now but.. use search !
Here is a simpler method.
1. Install CYBERDE Manila2D WeatherCities Editor_1.2.1 (Cab file attached below) to add whatever city you want to the database. I downloaded this cab more than a year ago from some thread of Elf/Elfin and still works like a charm on my Mega.
2. You'll need the Accuweather code of your city in the above editor, which is in this form "NAM|US|NY|NEW YORK" (for USA) and "EUR|IT|IT005|MODENA" (for other countries). To find the code for your city, go to http://www.accuweather.com/rss-center.asp, input your city name in the field "Choose a Location" and you will find the accuweather code in the field "Current Conditions & Two-Day Forecast URL". The code for Tauranga, for example, is OCN|NZ|NZ000|TAURANGA
3. Enjoy.
Hi,
In order to get the news from my country, i need to set the locale of the phone to match my country.
I need to set both language and country.
This works fine (with "MoreLocale2" app) but it changes the localisation of my phone.
I only want to change the locale for this app.
(I don't want to change the OS language or the time/dates formats. It looks better in English..)
Any ideas how to achieve this?
You're not the only one... As far as I can see, it seems to set the country given to the IP address of the Wifi link or, when available, from GPS coordinates. If geoip location is unavailable, I think it falls back to the current locale set in the OS, which is a problem for me, given that I set Spanish as the language, but live in Latinamerica, so most of the news it gets are irrelevant.
So there's no configuration option. Too bad...
