weather update stopped working

Hi,
For last 2 days im unable to update weather on touchFlo screen.
I got message "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. retry? Yes/No"
Both internet and mail works fine, so i dont know what to do.
Any ideas?
Im on T-mobile UK.

Got the same problem and I am on the other end of Europe, so I guess their servers are down?

me too its happened about 2 days ago i thought it's because my wifi or my 3G connection lost but it wasnt
Im on Orange...

Just found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411898

I have the same problem starting today, yesterday it happened occasionally.

tried alredy to disable proxy, connect directly through WiFi, and still same problem.
Must be accuweather server then.
Strange, cause their site wirks fine.

Have been having problems for the last couple of days, does look like a server issue

I figured it was a server issue too but this fix worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2821451&postcount=30

Same for me
I was freaking out as I have just got my Touch Pro and I though I had broken it somehow? Have Hard Reset it 3 times but still the weather update keeps reporting a connection error. What to do? I am in New Zealand and have tried 3G & WiFi and it mkes no difference! I have emailed HTC Support about the issue but is there any way to confirm if it is AccuWeather's problem? Hope this can be resolved as I don't want to start tinkering with the ROM while it is still so new and under warantee. Helpful advice appreciated
Couldn't get the editor to work, something about a newer net needed? Whatever that is??? It wouldn't run.

Try the fix right above your post. I went through all the same things you did to try to fix it and just following those steps worked. (Don't ask me why!)
Good luck!

Maybe it woud for me to if I could get the editor to run. Where do I get this NET thing it says it needs?

Working!!!
Hello World it seems that the even though the Editor won't actually run it does something that enables the weather updates to run again. Strange? What does it do that fixes it???
Thanks

Frank-
In case it stops working again or you ever need to install another program that requires the latest .NET CF, you can download it here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/37978142/c1e9d030/Microsoft_NET_CF_35.html

Download net 3.5 and weather editor 1.2 and I get an error: fire write protection of database could't removed. What is this??

Other thread about the same topic...
I also have the issue that the editor can't read something, please keep the discussion at one thread, thanks.

Great thanks, done all that and we are up and running again. Thanks everyone for your help.

dont know if its just accuweather server been fixed, or what, but everything works fine again. All i did was installing .Net 3.5 from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
And after soft reset everything is back to normal.

I think it is something with your APN configuration.
Did you try post this question in Revolution HD Rom thread?

If your in the us and using a European rom u will have problems. Idk if that's your case

I had the same issue, I fixed mine with a wipe not sure why mine wouldnt send though, all i could figure out on mine was i used NoSense++ which may have messed it up, i switched to Mike's nosense script and my MMS works, How is your rom setup? Sense NoSense??

Mine wont send MMS either, I however am bone stock still. Have not done the OTA upgrade either.

I did a superwipe and am running ARHD 3.0.3 with sense and sms/mms inbound/outbound work for me on TMOUS.

just so you guys know, if you dont already, you cant be connected to data via wifi if you want to download or send mms messages, you have to be using your mobile network due to security issues.

Correct i use Wifi at home all the time and get MMS, When your phone needs the cell network it will use it.

Following worked for me (in India)
Copy the settings of "mms" APN to "default" then try.

I'm using the sense version of RevHD3.0.3.
Live in the UK.
APN all setup to correct settings.
MMS is enabled on provider (T-Mobile)
Seems to be the whole limit thing with MMS as I sent a low quality photo as soon as I installed the ROM, but failed with higher quality. I tried to use the MMS script to alter the allowed file sizes but still it failed. Did a full wipe, installed RevHD3.0.3, then the script. Just bust

Rogers Gingerbread 2.3.3 Bug Report Thread

My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?

Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......

1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.

As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.

I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.

i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!

Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

[Q] No GPS

I was doing searches and could not find any info or direction so I am lost as to what to do.
I have an Infuse which originally came from Canada running on Rogers and now I run it on Straight Talk - which should have nothing to do with the problem but I thought it might be important.
I downloaded GPSFIX and GPS STATUS and both say no GPS fix and I get the Searching For GPS in the android notification bar.
Google Maps seems to know my location but the Navigation (or any other GPS program) or Trapster never get a fix (Glob Traffic same thing)
Any ideas? I reload and try a new ROM weekly ( Scott's roms) and have no other issues except for this GPS thing.
Thanks. I appreciate any suggestions.

This might be related, maybe it will help you out. I am running CM10 and was noticing that sometimes my phone can't seem get location information to feed to my news & weather widget and stuff. After fiddling with it a little bit, I noticed that this happens if I reboot the phone and then let it sit there before I start messing with it. What I do to get it working is reboot it, wait for the splash/spinny loady screens to display, and then IMMEDIATELY unlock it, like as soon as the swipe-to-unlock icon appears. Then I set it down and let it finish doing its startup stuff, maybe swiping between screens to keep it awake and the screen on and whatever, and 9 times out of 10, the problem's fixed! I have no idea why this works.

[Q] Google Maps GPS Not working

This problem is starting to get really annoying. Recently i did a clean flash of cataclysm with code blue kernel, and i remember even on stock lollipop on my other nexus 5, there were no gps issues. This is an RMA unit which i have had for a little over a month now and today i desperately needed GPS cause i was lost...literally.
With 4g and gps it couldnt find me...crap
I have done everything, booted in safe mode, tried calibrating gps, rebooting, reinstalling google maps, everything. Every gps fixing app knows my exact location within seconds of turning on gps. literally, i live out in the country where there aren't many obstacles to obstruct the gps, im in my basement with 2 floors on top of me and STILL those apps find my location no problem. But GOOGLE ****ing MAPS cant find me! Its specifically google maps, everything else uses gps just fine.
any ideas what on earth to do?

I called google and they just offered to replace it. And i desperately dont want to go through that hassle again.
EDIT:
What ive done so far
1. tried safe mode and safe mode recalibration
2. tried factory reset
3. tried reflashing rom and kernel
4. flashing kitkat modems
5. using gps fixing apps

fixed it.
in App Ops on cataclysm rom i enabled location for oogle play services.
It looks like the issue is in play services and not gps

In my ROM, I have option to control each apps individual permissions. (I think you can get "app ops" with xposed. Its built into cataclysm ROM).
I simply went to 'android system' and 'google play services' and enabled location access.
