Weather in Home Screen does not update ! - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

The weather of the current location is displayed in the "home screen". But this information wil not update. Doesn't matter what i tried.
It keeps to be "Emmen" (the Netherlands) and the last update was done yesterday(just after i installed dutty's 6.5 rom). I updated all data in the weather tab and all other locations do update, but the current location doesn't. I can't delete the current location of change the place which weather info i want in the home-screen.
Does anyone have a "FIX" for this or any other solution ?

On the weather tab, did you go to Menu > Settings > Update > Auto-Update?
This will then update the weather on the home screen also.

Hello, I too have the same problem, the home location is not updated with a WAP connection but only directly from the internet (wifi). Maybe you can fix by acting on the register?
Ciao.

WIFI helps....
Hi totix.....
Setting up only the WIFI and lose the 3G and data connection helps for the update in the homescreen....
So thanks for this tip.
I wonder if it is possible to update this screen without a wifi connection. Should be possible, right?
How to fix this in the register is a big question for me.
Maybe someone else who can help me / us ?

Disable autocheck for updates for weather?

I am not always connected to the internet with my HTC. Every time i hit the weather tab by accident the HTC manages to really annoy me! It just have to give me like 20 windows with the following text: There is a plroblem connectin to the GPRS service in your registered home network. Every time i hit OK it comes back. My question is how to disable the autocheck for updates! Somebody else have this issue too?

Not sure if maybe my settings are different than the European version, but here's what I have. Go to the Settings tab, and instead of "Communications" like that other thread talked about, there's an option right below it saying "Data: Download Weather". When I click on that it gives me 2 check boxes: Download weather automatically, and download weather when roaming. If I keep both unchecked, it never checks for weather until I manually go into "update" in the weather tab.
Thanks you both! It works. After I disabled the autoupdate, I saw there was actually the same option in the wheater tab... Can't beleive I haven't thought about that :' )!

Yep... I'm having the same problem. Seems like something similar happened a few months ago.
I too, am having that problem. If I tell it to cancel update, and then go to the old (un- updated) 5-day forecast screen, then to "more" tab, it does bring up the accuweather page in Opera - so the internet connection and the accuweather site are up. I looked for some sort of connection setting for this, but can't find any.
Weather update
Having the same problem here. I have data and wifi connections.
Same issue here.
Same here on Tilt even did a hard re-set as wasn't any posts and did change some files last night, the other strange thing is my Dash updates and it's AccuWeather too.
Yeah same here, will not update through wifi or data connection
Same here, will not update through wifi or data connection
yup, weather is ka-put!
Me too, i am using weather with custom cities, i remember custom cities weather is gathering weather information from a different server, maybe this server is down. Is someone is trying to use weather OEM?
the weather proxy:
http://weather.not2advanced.com/.... is down
do u have weather fix installed?
Same problem now in Spain.

I tried setting the Server URL in the Weather Database Editor to:
Code:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=
with no success.
but this is the stock ive the "fixed" version , dont work,
ok i look out window and see weather for moment..
It is working again now.
OK... I managed to get mine working again.
For those of you who don't want to wait for the not2advanced.com server to come back up, try this: Open Weather Database editor and choose, Edit and Options. Change the server URL to:
Code:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=%25ls
(Note: That's an Ls, not Is or 1s)
proxy not2advanced.com is working again now too!
weather updated works ,)
proxy not2advanced.com seems to be down again...still not working for me

Wifi on demand?

Just changed to the new WM 6.5.3 stock rom~ but im finding a few problems with power consumption. Then I realised its cus my Wifi is always turned on! In previous roms I could set wifi so that it only connected when I update my weather or browse the internet, however with this new rom I find that Wifi will always try to connect if there is a connection nearby. So I thought I'll use TD2 Tools 3 to turn it off, but then the WLAN On Demand tab inactivated so I couldnt change it~
so is there anyone out there that knows a registry or have a cab so that I can turn this tab on? or even better just make my wifi on demand?
Welcome to the club I have exactly the same problem. With my previous ROM I used G-trigger application to toggle wifi, bt and some programsn but with this new ROM G-trigger doesn't want to work. I get an error message as soon ss I try to launch it. I've come up with some workaround but haven't tested it yet. There's a small wifi toggle program which I want to use and place a shortcut to it on home screen. A bit annoying but should work untill somebody comes up with a better solution.
Fixed problem with g-trigger: downloaded it from author's website, installed in main memory (device) instead of storage card and it works - can toggle wifi, bt and control other functions with just a simple shake

This solution created by me will solve all your problems:
[CAB] [WM6.5, WM6.5.x] [HTC] Wi-Fi On Demand for Custom/Official Roms
Actually, I was able to find a nice cab with task manager somewhere else on the forum, but still good work and thanks.

Thanks for that. Work very well in my topaz.
please let me know that cab
I want to add this cab please let me know from where u got it
' In previous roms I could set wifi so that it only connected when I update my weather or browse the internet'
How did you get this? I've looked all over to find a way so instead of it connecting to 'data connection' it connects to wifi automatically, could use please send me .cab or something thanks.

[Q] Prevent Wi-FI Icon From Hiding?

Hey all,
Search failed me so here's my question. I would like to prevent my Trophy (running the current Mango Rom from DFT) auto hiding the Wi-Fi icon when I'm on the start screen.
I have a low data plan (Student + New Zealand = Low Data) and would like to stop jumping into settings to see if I'm connected before using data based things.
Appreciate your time,
Cru
This is currently not possible, or to be more precise, no one has found this setting yet.
An alternative could be:
you can try to use the applications called "Network Dashboard" or "Connectivity Settings". On Mango, you can pin a live tile to your homescreen that shows the state of your wi-fi connection. I am not sure if it only shows wether or not the WiFi module is active or it is actually connected to a SSID, so you'd have to try.
Is Connectivity Shortcuts not Connectivity Settings, just a small correction. And there is also WP Shortcut Tiles app. Find them all in the Marketplace. All the best!!!
Thank you very much, both of you
Why you didn't take a look on your router?
It will show you, if your device is connected to the wifi network

[Q] Weather issue

I have just recieved my Sensation yesterday and it is an awsome phone. So far I have tried the stock rom and a couple of custom roms.
One issue I have noticed is on the home screen it looses the weather frequently. It keeps my location with out any problems but I have to keep going to the weather widget and update again. This seems to happen randomly. The phone was in standby for 2 hours came back and it had gone again.
I use option use wireles networks to get location over wifi / data. Any ideas?
Any idea why this is happening? It is very odd.
Thats really strange...I'd be curious to know a solution. What are your current settings for HTC accounts/sync? I have found that there are two settings for the weather sync - one via the widget the other in the accounts/sync. What is your update schedule for weather? Also, might be that your location is changing to pick up different wifi signals but if you dont connect just refreshes your location and not the actual weather?
You know that could be it. I have sync set to manual so maybe that is it. I am stting in the house but my signal can change rapidly. So I might change everything to automatic and see what happens. So far I have:
Account and sync
Background data on
Auto sync off
Weather sync to update when opened.
I am wondering if I change auto sync to on should it pull through when it needs to rather than relying on the schedule? At the minute I only have a 500mb data plan that I cant change until April so I am keeping an eye on my data. I will then be changing to giffgaff which is truly unlimited so wont have to worry about that!
