Is there a way to get the weather for more cities than listed in the choices..? It seems that in the US, there are only a few cities per state and ofocarse my home city is NOT listed. I thought I had seen this done with the old HTC home app but was not sure.
UPDATE: Found it! City updater
Where do you find city updater?
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918
it explains how to add a city by using a tool called the wheaterdatabaseeditor.

I was thinking it would be a great feature if we can somehow integrate sunrise & sunset times into the weather tab. Each city location would display their respective, local sunrise & sunset times for the day.
Any ideas how this can be done? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate & enjoy having this feature.
EDIT: I just checked, and Accuweather.com shows the info for sunrise, sunset, wind speed, etc...
Bump.
I'd still like to know if this is possible.
Also, when on the weather app in TouchFLO 3D, if I click on 5-Day, then More, it takes me to accuweather.com. Is it possible to edit the "More" button to take me to the city specific page on accuweather.com instead of the main page?
Hello,
I recently bought a LG Optimus 7 and I have all the latest updates (NoDo) and I also developer unlocked my phone.
Anyway, when I tried to use apps with live tiles from the marketplace (Wheather Bug, The weather channel etc.), none of them were updating.
The MS ones (Contacts, Pictures, Hotmail, SMS and Xbox Live) are working fine.
I already searched on the internet and I did the following thins to get them working again:
- Reinstalled the apps
- Turned the push service on and off (Weather Bug)
- Un- and repinned the apps
- Restarted the phone
- Used a registry editor to empty two folders
- Waited
However, nothing seems to help.
I really don't want to have to do a hard reset. Is there anything else one could try?
EDIT: Also I live in Germany and my phone is set to German etc. I have WiFi and in the bar at the top it always says "H" but I don't know what this stands for (HSDPA?)
Well it seems to work now after I pinned the Messenger app to the start screen (which is also a live tile).
However, I still have a little problem with Weather Bug.
When I installed the app I searched for my city and it found a weather station not very near to where I live. However, I clicked "save" and was then given the ability to name the weather station and also to change the weather station. I changed this to a weather station that is nearer to my home and I also changed the name of this city.
Within the app, it now says the name of my city like it should. However, the live tile still shows the name of the original weather station (which is not saved in the app anymore), but the weather info (the icon and the temperature) match the data for my city within the app.
Is there any way to change the name that is displayed on the live tile?
same problem here (HTC HD7) !!
Yeah my Live Tiles stopped working again. That means all but the MS ones. The Messenger app also does not update the live tile.
EDIT: well now it works again. I guess I'll never understand how this works.
Also I now use WeatherDuck instead of Weather Bug. Weather Duck correctly displays my current city name although I think the current temperature is not as correct as in the weatherbug app.
Hi, same problem here HTC Hub tile not updating and so as other 3rd party application's tiles.
any suggestion what weather applicaiton is good?
cheers...
I tried the same registry trick witk LG optimus 7 but live tiles never start...

I try to do the same thing and it runs.
I saw the error on the market and it seems a very strange error coming from a missing string resource but the string resource is well in the application because for others devices it runs well.
Could you tell me what is your device please ?
Sylvain.
Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3( http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=maguro)
The app doesn't respond to the soft key menu button, and the in app menu button makes it FC. Just tested it on my Nexus One thats also on 4.0.3, and exactly the same happens there.

I try to regenerate the entire gen resources directory and to change the way where the string resource is getted from the menu.
Could you try again with the updated version of Live Weather Lite please ?
I'm going to try more tests on Android 4.0 as soon as possible if the problem persists.
Sylvain.
OK. So, I found the problem.
I fixed it and I updated the LiveWeather Lite application on Android Market.
Now, It will run for Android 4.0 also. I wait your confirmation of that on your device to validate my solution .
Thanks for your help !
Works now

A little detail about the LiveWeather Lite Action bar. It's a custom Action bar that emulates Ice Cream Sandwich Action bar for older versions of Android.
So for the moment, there is no connexion between hardware Android menu button and that Action bar.
AmberHome Weather is a weather app that will show weather forecast data from the yr.no weather feed.
Release version now available in PlayStoreAmberHome Weather Free
Pro Version: AmberHome Weather Plus
Additional Iconsets: AmberHome Weather IconSets
I would be glad if you can test this app and tell me how you like it.
If you want to help to translate the app please register at GetLocalization.com and then go to this URL: AHWeather at GetLocalization
Translating the app should be very easy with this great community web tool. Thanks for your help.
If you like you can visit the AmberHome blog where I will add some news from time to time and follow me on Google+ if you like.
Unlike other weather apps AHWeather does not depend on cities. Every location in the world can be used, just search for it. The location search is the standard Android geolocation search and it is very powerful. You can edit some data for a location like name and country name. Additionally there is a field for the altitude of the location. Normally you can leave this to 0 which means the weather site will choose the altitude itself. Maybe this field will be removed for the release version since for most cases it is not needed.
About the weather data:
The weather data comes from yr.no, delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the NRK. Yr.no is one of the last weather sites that provide weather data for free even for commercial use. Unlike some other weather feeds yr.no only has forecast data and no current condition! This means that everywhere in the app where current conditions are displayed (like in the widget) this is calculated from forecast data and may be several hours old. Most time this is not as accurate as in other apps which request weather data from nearby weather stations.
The weather forecast is very accurate in Europe but I have no idea how good it is in other regions of the world. Some tests I have made like requesting weather data in israel etc. looks quite good. Please tell me how accurate the weather forecast is in your region.
In some locations (mainly northern europe) there is hourly forcast data for the next 48 hours. In all other regions of the world there is 3 hour forecast instead.
Planned features for later versions:
tablet layouts
more widgets
weather chart
location based weather
...
Known bugs:
If you permanently rotate the screen, after some time (about 25 rotations on my device) the app will FC with an out of memory error. I think this is a general Android problem and can't be fixed easily.
On some devices if you rotate your home screen, the widget will not update immediately. This is because I hit a Android widget limitation with bitmaps. I hope to fix this in the next release.

Great start, but the layout seem quite of somehow. I doesn't like the background color and I would like to have it more simple a less cluttered. Like the choice of weather service, the Norwegians knows the weather in Sweden better than we do our self .

You can choose the dark theme in settings to set the background color to black.

What do you mean with "doesn't work in the US"? It should work everywhere in the world. Do you get an error, no weather data, wrong weather data? Can you please give some more information?
Thanks.
Nice app. Thanks. Only one wish widgets but already planned. Thank you. Works perfect for Germany.

Yeah sorry, It couldn't find my location. I tried both my zip code and manually typing in my city. No go though . For future releases you should have set by cell site location

Normally it should work. Try to search for "<cityname> usa" or something. It should even find small villages with a few houses.
Location based weather is planned for a later release.
I live in the Boonies and it finds me just fine. My town doesn't have stop lights.
The barometer could be in inches though. That's the only gripe I have.

Added Beta 4 version to the first post.
This version adds german translations to the app. If you want to help me translate this app to other languages, please contact me.
I think this one is close to a release candidate.
Thank you all for testing.
Great app, thank you. Will test it.
Very good app! running fine on CM9
Added 2.0 Beta5 to first post.
This version has a complete redesign of the widget. It is still not perfect but should scale better on different resolutions and should work better on ICS and up.
Couple feature suggestion
1. Re-sizable widget for touchwiz (or 5x1 widget )
2. Transparent widget
Works pretty fast on galaxy note,
1st version released to play store
The first version is now released to play store.
Additionally I added the release version to the first post.
Thanks to all testers and stay tuned. If new beta versions are available I will post them here.
Very nice. Only suggestion I have is to offer different weather icons.
Net me try the apps

This is planned for a future version.
I want to share with you a new application. It helps in dealing with time zones and time differences. It works simply) You add any cities, and the application shows the current time in these cities. The application will be very useful for you if you often travel, or call up with loved ones, or work in other time zones! Try it, you will need it!
Google Play
