I installed My-Cast Weather Lite on my gTablet and it's working. However, it sets My Location to "Minnetonka, US" even though I'm in Seattle, and there's no way for me to change that. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

I am having problems with the travel clock widget (4th choice under htc's clock widgets) in that it never shows the correct time for the current location. Also the colors for the home and current are switched around. Anyone else having these problems or similar ones? Can anyone direct me toward a fix?
Thomas,
This is a known issue (known at HTC). I'd say report it at the HTC website as well, just for more visibility.
Also the colors of the clock have to do with AM/PM, or rather daylight/night, not home and current.
Ok thanks for the info. I went to sprint and they gave me a new hero outright when they couldnt fix it but it still had the same problem. I had not heard anything about it from searching google and the forums so I thought I would ask. Thanks for the help
i just would like to know if it possible to disable the weather background for sense 2.5 a cab would be nice i thought i seen it somewhere but i cant find it
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!
just go to animated wallpaper and choose your own picture. it won't be animated.
i tried but when i click wallpaper change there are only 2 options weather and animated wallpaper. i have my own picture but the weather animation kinda just clouds the beautiful screen. using stock tmo rom if it matters
oh nevermind it just needed a soft reset thx
How do i remove my location?
Would be nice to get rid of the sun icon, which is in the way all the time.
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
Where is HKCU/software?
Didnt under stand :S
easy
Choose menu->wallpaper-> ANIMATED WALLPAPER-> and choose one. easy not?
HKCU means HKeyCurrentUser, it's the registry

Bump.........
Ignore that - it's nothing to do with what you're asking. That advice is only for modifying the wallapaper, not the weather on the clock.
There's no 100% foolproof way of getting rid of that weather display, other than a blag. Set the clock location set to "my location" and use the disable my location cab from the bottom of the second post in the hints and tips thread that is stickied at the top of the HD2 general forum. This will only work if the "my location" thing has never worked. If you've ever had weather updates for that location then this simply won't work.
If you ever change your clock location it may start showing weather there again though. If that happens, get used to it.

Well, seems like someone have manageed to get rid of the weather, but what u said sounded reasonable with what I've experienced.
But would be nice if anyone could get a cab-file that removed the weather from the "home" screen...

There was a long thread about this when the HD2 first came out, and people ended up hacking dll files that worked on some devices and forced other people to hard reset, so I'd avoid that like the plague! It's not something that I'm interested in, as I find that area of the screen looks bare without it, so I've not paid much attention to discussions in that area. I still don't think there's been a 100% solution though.

Thanks for sharing, now i know at least...
I feel like I searched everywhere! On my TP2 with MSMobile, there was an addin for more weather locations for the Weather Theme. I found one link to directions for the Android saying if you press the add locations/search you can get gmaps to come up and select from there, but it won't work on the Incredible. Anyone know how?
By the way, this thing is amazing! Too bad it's not Global!
Yeah on my old Hero if I pressed search Google maps would come up, but on the Incredible nothing. I'm guessing this is a small bug that will get fixed in a future update. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.
Hit the weather part of the screen under the clock and it will take you to weather just like the tp2 did. Then you can add to your hearts content with the plus.
Yours must work different, because that's what I did, then it won't find cities. Ashville, Blowing Rock, Hilton Head Island.... examples of popular destinations, but they aren't there.
Feels like there are only 10 cities in their list. Really sad.
I have problem with Manila Weather.
Today in the morning i updated manila weather - everything is ok, temputere etc, but there is no sun only moon (like at night). All my locations has the same "bug". Moon is also on a new locations, which I added. In my location is almost 12 am.
I deleted forecast_cache.db file and it didn't help.
Is it sth wrong with my phone/soft or with this weather service?
I have hd2 3 months and this happened first time.
funny same for me today i upload every hour and still the moon !!
cannonbal, I think this is a problem with the service, not with our phones....
But, i dont know if the weather will be fixed by itself or we will have to do something.
I live in poland.
Does anyone have such problem?
Same for me in Austria.
Don´t worry, must be a bug in the external weather-server and can´t be corrected on HD2. Maybe a time-code is transmitted wrongly.
Let´s see if it is still the same in a couple of days then we´ll have to contact HTC service to check the weather data provider service if they didn´t got to it already.
Best You change to Dunc´s and Davej´s DDT-Weatherpanel Ultimate 2 threads above ir´s the best and most reliable weather app You can have on this planet.
This is a global issue!! Some server problem just like My Location couldn't be updated last time and now fixed. So not your phone's own problem.
Thx for your answers!
Fixed today!!
Same happens here in my case.It seems that Accuweather is the most unreliable service...Does anyone knows how to change weather provider in manila?

It´s not possible without changing the weather application itself
Same here sun at night moon during the day lol but hey they'll sort it out.
I bought weatherbug elite since it has way more features and a city list that comes in handy.
So, after searching the Apps section and trying a few Apps suggested by some others, I am at a loss for why this doesn't exist. I know Lock screens are pretty well dead due to the advent of biometric logins but Live Wallpapers still seem to thrive. I know all the bad that comes with them, battery life and whatnot. But every Live Wallpaper I have seen, is little more than either a looped video or an animation that plays in a loop (maybe the rare one is interactive but I digress). Perhaps it is because widgets exist, but those too come with their own set of limitations I am sure, since I am not a developer I would not know.
If anyone remembers the HTC Sense 5 Weather Live Wallpaper, it was on the lockscreen but that is unimportant. It was a great weather live wallpaper, had excellant animations including lightning rain drops on the screen, snow, moon cycle, etc..
I am looking for a fullscreen widget that will do this, or perhaps a halfscreen? The point is, a widget that does weather animations based on the current weather conditions and perhaps a few hours out and then when you press on the widget, it would open whatever default weather app you had or at the least, whatever app it was using for its information.
Since I am pretty sure this app doesn't exist, it either means this is a new idea (VERY unlikely) or that there is a limitation somewhere (perhaps only on Samsung devices?) that is preventing it from working the way I am hoping. Its been many years since I was here and it makes me wonder if this idea has already been hashed out and found to be dead or if the idea just went away.
If anyone can let me know, I would appreciate it. If I am missing something, perhaps an app that looks a bit shady (low number of reviews and downloads) but is exactly what I am looking for, please give me the name. I've been all over the Play Store and the Galaxy Store and it kind of makes me wonder why this doesn't exist or if I am just blind.
FYI, my current device is the Fold 3, so if HTC has something that is what I am looking for but won't work on my device, it will suck but the question is still valid.
Thanks!
