"More Details Online" link on Weather tab is bad - any way to tweak that? - Touch Pro2 CDMA

I'm baffled as to how HTC and Sprint could let a device go out the door with a dead link in one of their TouchFlo3D tabs!

While the graphics are really nice, this weather app is lamer than lame, particularly since the "More Details Online" link goes to a dead URL at Accuweather! And if you try that URL on a desktop PC, it is verified as bad...
Makes me feel like a fool when a friend who has an iPhone checks it out and sees the dead link. Ohh, impressive... especially when they have the awesome Weather Channel app that plays video and everything...
Anyone know how to tweak that URL in the XML file in Manila?
.

Mine does the same thing.. thats pretty bad they let it go out like that..

Mine does the dame thing too but when I use a difernet city such as Moscow it works fine. Seems like only the Northamerica citys are a dead link

Someone must know what file can be edited for that! I'd imagine the URL just needs tweaking - it's a standard URL which is plugging in the selected city in to the path...
.

there's info about this in the diamond or the touch pro sections, or probably in more places. I forget if it's a file or a reg entry.

Thanks! I'll get to looking! Eager to fix that!

Post the fix I can't find it and its driving me nuts

Hardy har! I can't find a fix that relates to what this thread is about, to save my life! I always get a kick out of people lambasting first-time posters when they ask a question and someone will say "did you search?" because that is easier said than done, particularly in enormous forums such as this!
I tried searching for "More details Online" and it said it was going to ignore the word "More" because it was too common. So searching for "Details" and "Online" brought up threads that had nothing to do with what I wanted, even when narrowing down the search to just the Diamond or the Touch Pro forums. And if I searched for "weather" (and a combination of options such as "issue" "online" etc), I came upon several threads where people were discussing the Weather Tab not updating period (no info whatsoever), but thus far I have not found one post that had to do with the issue of tapping on "More Details Online" and having it take the user to a dead AccuWeather page.
I will keep looking, but it's frustrating - I simply can't believe this is not easily found as seeing a current "What the heck?" type of thread related to the TP2 and the non-functional link! Not here or at PPCG or several other forums I have checked!
The search continues...

A quick look through the registry couldn't find anything. I think I will just forget about it. We will be getting some new roms soon.

Yeah, by the time I find a solution, I'll have 6.5 on this thing and might not even be using TF3D!

Sometimes, refreshing the page in the browser will "fix" the problem and allow the page to be displayed ... not a great fix, I know ...

Holy COW! Levman, you must have the magic touch, because I went to try that, and I tapped on More Details Online>>> and for the first time ever, the AccuWeather page worked!
I didn't even have to hit refresh! I just launched Opera and went to the page!!!
Was definitely something on AccuWeather's end...

Don't get too excited ... that exact same thing happened to me the first time I set out to try this trick (which, in the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that I learned by posting a question on a forum that Sprint manages). The second time I clicked on "more details online", it was back to the old way and I did have to refresh. I was as surprised as you the first time, when it worked properly without me having to hit refresh.
I have a friend who likes to joke about keeping a bucket of water next to his computer whenever it misbehaves, as a threat ... maybe this had the same effect
I suspect you are right that this is a problem on AccuWeather's end ...

Hmm.... mine works every time for each of the three cities I have selected. So, maybe it is a city specific problem.

I know what you posted above about just "search". I know I read this for my diamond with a definitive way to edit the weather link. I just never bookmarked it.
I just got my TP2 on verizon tonight, but haven't tried that yet. If I do find that it doesn't work, I'll be sure to post up!
I'm fighting the dreaded wifi + active sync not working, ugh. I'm trying to vpn in and sync to my work computer. wifi dies just as soon as I connect any winmo. Reports say AS 6.5 beta works... oh, other computer just booted, gotta run and play!

I just tried, and I still receive the "Error in/M Application" error. I tried the "reloading" trick, with no success. I did not try the bucket of water.

Did you do the setup when you started the phone?
I went back and changed my settings, it didn't say the city in (was it contacts or dialer?), it just said CDT, so I changed it to my city.
Then I ONLY tried right now, went right to accuweather.
----------------
So if you rely on the start/activation screen, you might have to change it, ugh, sorry, can't remember.
Again, this is a VZ phone!

I did go through the setup when I first turned on the phone. I also installed the conflipper north america weather database, as my city was not native to the phone.
I just looked for different settings in the contacts area, etc., and couldn't find anything set incorrectly. I then deleted my city, and added it back in, but still received that error, even after refreshing.
If this turns out to be the biggest problem with this phone, I can live with it!
I would like a weather app, though, that can integrate with TF3D, and also show more than the weather icons. As I've posted elsewhere, I want the forecast, in words.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

[Jun 07] Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588

I'm sorry but this rom is terrible.Its
extremly slow, unresponsive and buggy. The file explorer always hangs for like 5 minutes and then maybe my files will show up,web pages will load but not show the whole page. The gps takes for every to find my location or will say could not comm with gps driver or what ever (never happened before). The dialer freezes. It doenst remember the software keyboard after a reboot and doesnt show the word compltion no matter what setting I try or chabge. No built in youtube support or java program. It misses
key strokes.The radio is terrible also. Im sure theres more carp messed up about rom that I havent found out. Im going back to
Alex rom which is a 1000 times better the this piece of crap was.
Before you get slammed by senior members, I would copy your post and put it in the appropriate thread. All your going to get for answers in this thread is to move it and read the wiki...

LOL, nice first post. Try to say that to a hundred people that uses this rom and are satisfied with it. I am sure u have done something wrong while u were flashing(inappropriate spl, not hardreset after flash, ...).
Well I'm so sure that with this as your first post, you've done all your homework re: ROM flashing, and EVERYTHING you did on your end was precisely what you were supposed to do and in the right order...nevermind the fact that there is actually a thread already for this forum...nevermind the fact that Dutty did acknowledge some issues in this ROM (which still runs quite well when properly set up) but also advised everyone that there wouldn't be a follow-up as he's going over to the diamond 'realm'...
I know we see these posts daily/hourly it seems, but at this hour for me it just got me crunk about snapping back...my bad, but starwars...you sir, are an idiot...
MOD please delete this drunk guys thread please
mods please close this pathetic thread
I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been closed...

Since this is your 1st post maybe you should read the rules of posting.
You have no idea what you are talking about because the problems are specific to you and only you. You're a complete idiot with no idea about Windows Mobile device.
Might I make a suggestion to you.
Go to www.ebay.com & put your Kaiser up for auction.
Buy yourself a pink razor.
Never come to XDA again.
Word of advice. Next time...just keep your mouth shut! I will not tolerate people creating new threads to simply bash a Chef who dedicates his time to cooking.
Any questions.

[REQ]Read It Later App for WM

I use the Read It Later extension for Firefox heavily, and have always missed an WM App that would allow me to read the pages I've marked on my phone.
Well, since I've bought the HD2 I've missed this even more...
Now, it seems that the folks that makes RIL released an API so that anyone can make its own app...
There's an official one for the iPhone, a user made for Android... and none for WM.
I've tried to make one myself, but its way beyond my "search and learn with Google" programing skills.
This way, I want ask if someone is interested or is capable of doind a Read It Later App for WM, HD2 customized, using their API.
The site is here: http://readitlaterlist.com/
It would be really nice to have a "Instapaper" like app for WM...
Thanks in advance!
Request seconded.
without looking at exactly what this is. do you mean an offline browser? if so then opera has the function built in.. saved pages

It's not only saved pages...
It's like Instapaper for the iPhone.
You mark a page to read later in RIL Firefox, for example, and then can access the link throught the app in the phone to read it.
The good thing about RIL is that you can mark a page in your desktop and it sincronizes with web, so, as soon as you open RIL in the phone the page is already there.
The advantage here is that you can mark pages to read in multiple PCs (I use in Vista/7 installarion in my notebook as well as XP/7 in my desktop) and still have a unified list.

It is very nice.
ATM i'm using the web version, with the shortcut readitlaterlist.com/unread . When you create an account, this shortcut will lead you directly to the reading list.
Putting Opera zoom in 100%, it fits right in the screen.
But it lacks a lot of features. It is actually just a list of links. You have to manually check read itens, press and hold the link if you want to open in another tab.
What I miss the most is some options to store the pages for future references. Now I have to manually do this... It would be nice if the app allow us to send the pages to another apps...
I hate to bump my own threads, but no one can help me?
Can someone at least tell me what programming language would be easyer to make such an app?

Thanks anyway... I'm kind of resign that this won't be done.
Using the web version. Not perfect, but does the job.
I have not used this application/service before, but it looks interesting.
I have checked the API and it looks very simple to use.
The only thing that remains before starting to code is to have a rough design of the application GUI, just to set a rough scope on the functionalities.
Then I believe it is possible to create an "ugly" but functional application in a few days. I can work on this project if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this.
zefiltrin, I think you know the usage scenarios of this application way better than me, as I have not yet used it. Why not make a few sketches for describing the GUI of the application you want to see on your PPC. I mean the buttons, lists, etc. Then I would try to realize them (again, if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this)

I´ll do that! I'm travelling until april 4th, but will try to do that as soon as I come back.
I think I´ll use some of the screeshots of the existing apps for iPhone and Android.
Thank you for your help!
Well, here are some ideas:
I think the home screen should look like iPhone's Read It Later app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The list of things to read could be similar to GReader site, with big letters, two or more lines to allow seing the whole title:
In the "Greader-like" list abobe, there shoud be a search bar and the buttons to direclty mark as read or show the text only view, like this:
Finally, it would be great to have the sharing options like iPhone app (don´t know if the API allow that):
Let me know if this helps...
Ok I will spend some time on this tomorrow.
I started working on this project, I call it "Late Reader" for now. Any better name suggestions are welcome. I think I can post a first beta or alpha in a week.

[Tutorial] Update YOUR Facebook Status (HTC Sense)

NOTICE:: This thread is for HTC Sense 2.1 & 2.5 Users who use Facebook hourly/daily.
Well, I know quite a few of the Custom HTC Sense 2.5 ROM users have downloaded & installed the Facebook Tab for Sense [Found Here], and have noticed that, at this moment, it is not possible to update your OWN status with the Tab.
Edit: May 15, 2010: meltwater looks to be on the road to success with the Tab implementing a way to update your status... He hasn't released much information about it YET, but there is a brief explanation and a small Teaser Pic HERE. Looks like we may have a new replacement for the "via HTC Sense".
1.) Slide to your Contacts Tab
2.) Select "All People"
3.) If you haven't already, setup YOUR Contact Card [Named: "Me"]
4.) Be sure to Link your Facebook Profile, if you haven't yet.
5.) Once you have done so, go back to your Contact Card.
6.) Scroll ALL the way down to your Facebook Link, and tap it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7.) Once you Tap it, you'll see the following screen:
8.) This is your "Status Update" screen.
9a.) For WVGA Resolutions, the "Share" button will be visible right there.
9b.) For VGA Resolutions, you'll notice the thin Gray Scroll bar on the FAR Right. Scroll down to see the "Share" button.
10.) Enter your Status Update into the Box, then click Share.
11.) Go to your Facebook Tab in Sense and tap "Update Now".
[BUG FOUND-VGA:: With some ROMs, in the Landscape view of the Status Update page, You may notice a glitch while trying to type.]
**I'm currently looking for a full solution {For Hardware Keyboard Users :: Touch Pro/Fuze, etc..}**
And there you go! Instant Facebook Status Update without the need of any Apps or a mobile browser.
Just for the record, I used the Forum Search function to see if something like this has been posted before, and the results of the search have influenced me to create this thread. Also, I wasn't sure how many people might actually know about this.. so.... yeah..
If this thread helped you, or you simply appreciate the Tutorial, please don't hesitate to say "Thanks!".
- Agent Zach
Thanks for sharing!!
Would be nice with an app that simply directly goes to this in sense:
Ithink its to many "klicks" to get to the "uppdate youre facebook status". I get it to 4 klicks and one scroll down Not to smooth imo.
I think Meltwater is planning on Re-Directing the "Your Profile" area of the Tab to this area, but, honestly, I can't speak for him, as I'm not 100% sure on WHAT he'll be doing.
And I understand it's not the easiest way to do it, but hey, it works without the use of of any Apps or a Mobile Browser. It's a good way for a Bare-bone Sense ROM.
wow. now i got another people who know about updating via htc sense.
coz weeks ago i posted a bug update failure via htc sense on cell pro v 8.2 rom n no body understand wat i am talking about. they told me to open via apps mobile web.
i am pleased somebody realised this n hope meltwater will be doing something really useful for updating status without have to do the several click n scrolling.
waiting for the result ^^
Trust me, when Meltwater updates the Tab to do such a thing, I'll be sure to update this thread with the results.
Thanks for the quality post. HTC has a way of hiding these things until they're 100% ready for the 'limelight' so to speak. I'm sure that Sense 3.x will be a lot more friendly on the social side.
Tested this on my Tilt2 with Sergio's 76 rom and it worked. Funny the function was out there but never thought to try it. Thanks for letting us know, now I can bypass the app and use the facebook tab and the contacts.
Yeah, I'm sure if & when they Update HTC Sense, it will rely upon Social Networking...
And not a problem m8. Bypassing the use of the Web & the App does save a bit of time.
Thank you! Never had noticed that
Thank you very much...really useful tutorial.
You're very welcome. Glad I could help.
Using TMOUS HD2 here, stock ROM...
I've linked my Facebook profiles but I don't see "Me" in the list when I go to add a contact to the People page. I see "Me" under all people and the function to update profile is available just as it should be, I just can't choose it from the list to add a quick link to my contact page.
See, that's the thing. That's one of the few reasons meltwater hasn't been able to simply link the "Your Profile" area of the Tab to the "Me" contact card.
I honestly think, without the use of a Third-Party Contact Mananger, doing a shortcut to your own profile might be out of the question...
I'll search for a solution and I'll be sure to keep you informed on what I find, as this might be the easiest, fastest way to Change your Status.
Cool! Thanks for the info
I definitely didn't realise Sense could do this, and thought it quite strange - thanks for the tip!
I like the fact it says 'via HTC sense' when you use it too!
You're very welcome.
And the "via HTC Sense" thing on Facebook is one of my favorite features. For several of my other friends who are WinMo Fanatics, all with HTC Devices, it feels good to Advertise that I'm running Sense on an, officially, un-supported device.
Thanks for the info..
Not a problem m8. Hope you found my post useful.
I hate to double post, but I just noticed that this thread was highlighted on the XDA Portal HERE.
Thanx to orbit3000, and anyone else involved in the highlight, very much.
I've been with XDA for awhile, but never really invloved myself until a few months ago. So to me, this highlight, is my foot in the door. I think I'll whip open my Visual Studio and take my "basic noob" level to another standard.

status bar advertisement?

Ok, i tried searching, but I havent come up with anything (honest, i swear, haha. I did come up with quick office, but that's not the icon i'm getting).
Anyhow, around noon everyday, I get a notification that looks like a star with a small circle in it (not sure if the icon itself is rom dependant, i'm using CM7). I took a screen cap of it, which i've included, unfortunately, i didn't get the cap of the ad itself, just the icon (damn program i downloaded just for this, lol).
Any ideas of what it may be? I really don't want to have to start uninstalling programs, as it only pops up once a day (so it would take me a LONG time, potentially, to figure it out).
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right section, but it didnt happen on my aria...(ignore the ad at the bottom of the page, since thats from the screen cap program i grabbed real fast), only pay attention to the little star icon at the top.)

Could it be astro file manager? Looks similar to the folder icon on your homescreen
Sent from my calculator
hmm, I'm not sure. I had astro on my aria also, and it didn't pop up, I can try removing it to see. I looked through my icons and none are the same as that icon. I'll try to screen cap the actual ad (i clicked on one and it went to viamob or something, so i sent the cancel text to it, to no avail). I thought i checked in running applications last time it popped up, but maybe that was after (i tend to wake up and check notifications when i'm asleep), i'll try it again.
This is at least one reason why I always buy the software that I intend to use, the other reason being to reward the developers for their work.
I buy things I use. But i do have ad-supported software on the phone as well (i like to try before i buy, and frankly, i wouldnt buy an app if the ad-supported version dropped notifications on me).
anyhow, a few more hours and i'll get a better screenie, i hope.
also, i only downloaded the adsupported drocap for THIS purpose, otherwise, i have no reason to screen cap the phone, and i'm certainly not buying an app for a couple screenshots, haha.
better screenie. If they all said "gameloft" or something on it, i'd know what to be suspect about, but they vary wildly.
What apps do you have installed
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
What happens when you click on that notification?
I have a ton of apps, probably waaaay to many to try to list, though, I guess I can.
If i click the icon it takes me to the advertisement. In this case it took me to a gameloft advertisement (previously it took me to a viamob, and whatever else it sends, unfortunately, its never JUST the same thing, or i'd easily know what the program is).
since my aria didn't do it, i'll list what i have that i didnt have on the aria (though i've removed some since, this is what's left)
adobe flash
browsix
current widget
jscreen fix (stupid dead pixel)
light grid pro (live wallpaper)
nova (gameloft game)
webkey
xformula
i know someone is going to point out the ad was for gameloft, and i have a gameloft game, but that's the first time it was a gameloft ad. lol
I also have avg antivirus and lookout. AVG tries to report things, but the first thing that pops up is superuser. Which, obviously i dont want to uninstall, so yeah. Lookout doesnt report anything at all.
It's your gameloft game lol
What's xformula?
Sent from my calculator
haha. i did have the game installed on my aria also though, i just couldnt play it very well.
xformula is a game also, by GOGN (global online game networks), its a racing game.
Ok, so i clicked on the ad this morning (its STILL coming, awesome). anyway, the ad didn't load up properly, so I hit my home button and it took me back to my homescreen, obviously. I then did a home longpress to view recently opened apps, and money lover popped up. I uninstalled, maybe that will do the trick? lol
So, after removing money lover, no more ads (at least this far, guess i found the problem)
Sounds good. Hopefully it helps others if they have a similar problem.

Ads in the statusbar, epic fail on that app
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
If it stays off for another day or two, i will know for sure that's what it was (the only thing i had deleted yesterday, after the hint from "running apps"). I'll probably go peruse the thread they have on it here at xda, see if anyone else had the issue, and at least give the dev a heads up.

Seriously. I hope this doesn't become a trend. The person who came up with it should be slapped with a series of wet noodles as well.
+1 on that. haha.
It's weird though, because I didn't get the ads on my aria (that I remember, i guess i could boot it up and check, maybe it was an update?). Strange anyway.
Haha agreed!
because i don't want to point fingers if i'm not 100% sure, if i dont get an ad again today (in about 9 hours, just to be safe), i'm going to reinstall moneylover, and see if I get an ad again, just to be sure. If i do, I know its that program and I'll post a warning on the thread about it.
waited, reinstalled last night, woke up and had a notification in my status bar. the culprit is/was MONEY LOVER.

I can understand Samsung's motivation to block this. Even though it seems like a somewhat trivial app to this audience, in the marketplace it would be positioned as a differentiator, and you can be confident that at least part of the idea is to blunt the impact of Siri on Samsung sales (and there's no need to debate differences between Siri, S Voice, the eventual advent of Majel, etc - just commenting on today's motivation for Samsung to keep this restricted to S3).
Another possibility: Vlingo has been evolving their product, and if you go to the Play Store you'll find the Vlingo labs version - which is essentially the same as S Voice with a smaller "vocabulary" of functions you can invoke. It really appears that they're gearing up this new version of Vlingo for ALL phones, but my guess is that they have an agreement in place with Samsung to hold off for a while so the S3 can enjoy having this functionality exclusively at first. Also possible that Samsung and Vlingo have a licensing agreement that restricts the phones that the app runs on for some period of time.
I can easily imagine business execs at Samsung and at Vlingo getting more than a bit stressed over this...

Posted this on another thread
Seems to be a few threads going on about this. I'm getting an error when I say post to facebook. It loads a browser window but then goes right back saying check user name password. Everything is logged in on my phone correctly though. Any ideas?

YEP! Sadly, I'm glad I'm not the only one lol so it must be a problem with the app. The following thread mentions maybe it is because of touchwiz apps or something that other phones do not have on them, idk I'm at work so I'm half paying attention to the threads, I just want it to work!

No problem with the app. I'm running the modded version (posted on one of these S Voice threads) that doesn't require modding build.prop -- works perfectly. I send text messages, emails, check the weather and just posted to FB. Re: FB - I do NOT have the app installed right now (older version ate battery - no idea about 1.9 yet - may try later). Anyway -- I tried it this way: I told S Voice: "update Facebook". It then show the FB login dialog and noted that I had to be logged in so that it could update FB. I filled in username / pswd, and it's been working fine ever since then. Just needed login credentials.
Try just saying "update Facebook" the first time, it should prompt for credentials, and then remember them for future use.
EDIT: also just logged into Twitter the same way -- said, "Tweet" and it prompted me for twitter credentials. Now that it's got them, I'm good to go. Almost too easy!
