Thanks
Use this app a lot so I updated my version!

Hi,
thank your for this great app, works fine in germany.
with friendly greet
starbase64

Would anyone know why after using this app successfully for the past 2 weeks on my rhodium htc tp2 phone, that all of the sudden now I'm getting a WebException error?
EDIT: I found the answer in another thread. Apparently the weather site is down and they're working to resolve the problem. I guess I'll have to wait for it to come back up.

3rd Party Live Tiles not updating

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...

Nice app, nice to be able to see how many sattelites I'm connected to right in the status bar, beats having to open a seperate app to check

Working on HD2 with TyphooN_CM7_v3.3.7.

I tested with google Maps but no GPS activation.
Maps keeps asking to activate GPS in settings... So I did...

The service itself is activating...but the service doesn't aktivate GPS.

Nice App! Is it possible to change the color according to the status searching for sats = yellow / fix = green?

Hi,
Installed on my DHD with CM7 and it works perfectly. I really like the little notification telling you that service is actually switched on and off when you open and close apps, does this show that my GPS unit is actively seeking sats or just your service? I need to have a test on the open road as i am sat in the office at the moment and can only see 1 sat. I'll have a look and see if i am getting much drain.
Personally, my suggestion would be to have a option to have a timeout on the notification icon and keep the info in the drag down drawer as it is at the moment. I don't really need to know that GPS is active but i often find myself wondering if i have a good fix when Maps has me driving in the sea.

On Garmin-Asus A50 it works ok, exept u get a notice "GPS position changed" wich notice will not go away.

number of fixed sats instead of sats i can see
Hi,
I think that number of fixed Sats gives better information than number of sats i can see. I am currently using GPS Status program to see how many sats are fixed when i am using GPS program without feature that can show fixed sats. Your program with notification in the bar will be definitively better alternative.

Nice little program OP, can't see the PRO version in the Market though

I just installed the app and so far it's working ok... I like knowing how many satellites are locked in.. I believe this is an app that has been needed for some time.. I'll be interested to see how much battery it uses.. I'll be looking forward to more updates..
Edit: my phone info.. Droid X running Liberty v .8

Hi,
nice app. Thanks.
But logo in taskbar ist hard to read (grey/green). Not enough contrast.
Maybee you can change logo for better readability.
Thanks schrej

Please add a 1x1 widget that allows me to clear GPS data and redownload with a single tap. I'd tap it before entering Maps so that I can have some super fast precise location results.

The application is supposed to be passive, the notification icon won't be visible unless the GPS is in use actively by an application (eg. Google Maps)

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.

Looking for a Dash Clock Weather widget that doesn't use GPS

I recently found DashClock and I like it a lot, however all (two actually) weather widgets I found use GPS to get the loocation as opposed to allowing the user to manually set a location. This forces me to leave GPS always on and that's not something I find acceptable :tinfoil: :battery drain:
So do you know of any other weather widget for Dash Clock?

You can set it to check ever few hours (you specify) just because the GPS is on, doesn't mean that its actually on all the time.
If you are still sceptical download 'betterbattery stats'
and check what wakelocks (kernel and CPU) are occurring. you'll notice that the GPS isnt one of them.
