In the good ol' days of my WinMO HD2, a small app was created by a helpful XDA-er to make it possible to add locations (such as mine) that apparently 'don't exist' when trying to add them to the stock weather widget. I seem to be having the same problem with my new Sensation - apparently 'Kettering' in the UK doesn't exist. The weather app finds it when I'm *in* Ketteirng by using GPS, but I can't seem to add it as a location when I'm elsewhere
Anyone know if there's an app, or a fix, that will allow me to add my home town?>
Thanks guys
I think it requires root to edit the database
Think I'll bump this, seeing as we now have root!
I'd love to add other places too...any solutions anyone?

Thanks for the links.
Actually my phone isn't rooted - so I guess I'm stuck until I've done this

Hey... Two days ago my weather update stopped working? - I´m normally using WLAN, but have also tryid GPRS. I have tryid to remove the city and choose it again and so on. I have soft-reset my unit a couple of times also??
I´m using the normal weather plugin who came with my Touch Cruise and it has been workin great (uptil now)
Any ideas??
(I have offcourse seached the forum before askin, but could find anything helpful)

yeah same for me but little different; i CAN update the weather data with HTC Home Weather Screen, but when i try to update the weather while im in SPB Mobile Shell 2, then it does not work.
It does not update with Wifi, 3G, HSDPA or even with Active Sync and broadband connection.
Any solutions?
Well, I had a different problem, but maybe it will help you gentlemen. I wanted to be able to add local cities to the list in the HTC Home weather app. But the "included" verision doesn't seem to allow such edits. In fact, I couldn't even replace the file I needed to edit with the "device" version loaded. So I went to "Remove Programs" and removed HTC Home. I then downloaded and installed another version suggested by another forum member...
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/htchome-2.1-n2a.cab
When I first installed it, I didn't get the letters down the right size of my contacts to quickly go between last names. But within a day or a soft reset, they seemed to come back and everything works great. Now I have my home city, work city, parents city, both sisters cities, and a few more I threw in for fun.
Short of an iPhone like app where we could setup cities and then just flip pages between them, it works awesome. And maybe this app will work better for you. Good luck!!!

That sites seems to be down and I'm having the same problem with weather updates. Any chance you have a copy and could upload somewhere for all of us...?
Thanks,
Rick
Doh!! I found it, and yes, the weather is now updating.
Glad you got it fixed. I'm having the "outage" type problem here myself. Once I've looked online so I know what to wear today, maybe a soft-reset is all it needed.
And I definately want to add a few more cities, because the one I've chosen for today isn't in my current list.
Thanx
Thanx for suggestions
Before i installed another update i wantet to try one more time, and now it´s working again?? - maybe the server was down or something..
Best regards Michael
Hi all
Just wonder - where are settings for weather server kept in manilla? Is it possible to modify them, for example set different server? Thing is, phone works great, but gives me limited list of locations to choose. And strangely, my little town Corby, UK, is not on the list ;P (wonder why...)
Would it be possible to hook database to AccuWeather, or similar?
Cheers
Chris

That's because it gets confused by Scottish towns in the midlands of England. Use Kettering
Seriously though, Kettering ain't in there either, and I don't know how to add places that aren't. Northampton is the closest I can find for you.
corby is gray but now raining...yet.
Well, judging on what I found so far on other threads (like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583445&highlight=weather ) this feature of HD2 does not perform too well. Even locations that are on list (like London) aren't automaticaly working as My Location.
Looks like another topic for update from HTC...
works great for me (im in the netherlands) both 'my location' and the two citys i visit most (haarlem & amsterdam) work as i would expect, if i had to complain about something it would be that if i update in the evening, and look at weather next morning, the picture stays beeing a moon...
My small village of Groombridge doesn't work either! I have to use T Wells... Am I right that it uses the mobile network to determine current location. At Gatwick last week, it said I was in the village of Horley.......
I have a HTC Hero as well. On that it works almost 90% of the time or just keeps the last location available if it can't find the present location. I think the way the Hero works is that it searches the closest town and then shows the weather for that even if it falls in another zone (or something like that). I think on the HD2, it is more specific. Living in London, it isn't easy to keep track when moving around as it will change quite often depending on where in london you are. However, there is still alot of improvements to be made on the HD2 in terms of the weather location app when compared to the Hero.
Worked perfectly in bristol since i have come back to london only found one place it works near where i live really annoying tbh.
I know that on manilla 2d all that had to be changed was the xml file for the accuweather database...
Also the location it updated to is not in the list of avaliable cities so GRR!
Weather update
Try searching for an app called 'weather city update' on the Leo Forum. It will allow you to add in any city you like. I've used it and added my home town of Kettering in there.

I've not tried it, but I did check the weather site, and Corby is on there, so you should be able to add it

It works a treat on HD2. Better than My Location.
I see HTC posted an update on Tuesday for the Touch2 which was plagued by the same problem, hopefully a similar fix will be available for the HD2 soon.

hi everyone,
may i know how to update weather by using wifi, instead of using auto data connection? It cost me a bomb each time it auto connect to internet by using data connection!
firstly have a look at this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
'Weather city editor', allows you to add additional locations to your HTC.
This lists many locations within the UK, alas not Corby, but Peterborough is there.
Hope it helps
Does anyone have a copy of the latest version of the MSN Weather widget in .widget, .wgt, or .cab format?
Before you jump down my throat and tell me to use the Search function... I have searched for hours and have come up empty handed. I have found many of the earlier versions, but none after version 1.1. The newest versions work with touch scrolling and have different features than the early versions.
I'm using a ROM that doesn't have it natively so I wanted to install it indepentantly. I like it better than any commercial or free weather app out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Moved as not software release.

That's actually the one I have been using. It doesn't support finger scrolling.
I have been looking for this too. It is on the Marketplace website but you have to download it via the Marketplace app. I tried this but it does not show up via the app!
I suspect this is a regional limitation or something. Perhaps somebody else will have more success and post a cab for us?
Thanks.
Do you have a numerical version of the widget that you are looking for? (not just "higher than 1.1")

I was able to find it on the WM Marketplace. The latest version is 1.7. I couldn't find it using the Markeplace application on my phone, but I got it by going HERE. I had to "purchase" it there (it's free btw) then log into my phone's Marketplace app to actually download it.
Even though it's directly from the Marketplace, it does not have the finger scrolling feature that I'm looking for. I was using JJBlaster's ROMs on my old Kaiser and the MSN Weather widget he included was able to scroll up and down using your finger.
Could someone else download it and put the version 1.7 widget in a CAB package? It's way easier to include a CAB in a new ROM flash's UC than to jump through all the hoops Marketplace makes you go through to get it. And also, could somebody somehow enable finger scrolling? I'm not sure how to do any of that.
Alright so I figured out that the reason my finger scrolling wasn't working had something to do with the Add Widgets or Enable Widgets cabs I had installed. I reflashed my ROM and did not install either cab, then installed the weather widget through the Marketplace and now finger scrolling now works with the latest widget. Next all I'd ask is for someone to put the MSN Weather widget from the marketplace into a cab so I can use it without the marketplace.
Bump.
Anyone know how to make a CAB out of the Windows Marketplace MSN Weather widget? How about from the attached widget file?
This seems newer
I'm not sure, but this seems a newer CAB and it worked great for me on 1.43 - am about to reinstall on 1.66 (VF UK)
OK.... idiot mode off

It appears I have uploaded the same version you already have access to.

Hi all,
When I was using Android 1.5, I used to use the HTC Stock app and widget a lot. But since moving to 2.1 a week ago, I have not yet been able to find a replacement I tried few apps from the market but nothing feels quite right. Why isn't the HTC Stock app in the 2.1 Sense roms anyway?
So does anyone know whether I can get the HTC Stock app and widget back? Perhaps from an APK.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a widget from the Market (free or paid) that I can have lots of shares displayed at once?
Thanks.
The stock app is included in 2.1 as long as you're running a Sense rom. If it's not there the developer probably just removed it from the rom to save space. I can't help you out with the APK but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.
Ah I see! I'll ask the developers. Thanks.
So, have you found it? I'd like to try it too, if you have.
Unfortunately not!
I've been googling up and down and searching on here, Modaco, Vaillain, etc, but still haven't found it.
A bit off topic of the original post...but the thread title works and I didn't think a whole new thread was necessary.
So here's my question;
Is anyone else experiencing problems with the HTC Sense Stocks application in that the 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and 2Y graphs are not showing the correct data. Only the 1D and 5D charts work.
I'm not sure at what point this problem occurred...cause I know it use to work. Just curious whether it was something I did to my device (flashing a custom ROM), or whether others are seeing the same problem...in which case this would suggest there is something wrong with the servers from which the application downloads the charts from.
Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, so I doubt it's a problem with the phone...
If you tell me where the app is ill gladly upload it

Hi,
a few weeks ago, i changed from WinMo to Android. Now I am a proud owner of a galaxy...
Unfortunatly, the galaxy comes without sense. So I am missing the Stocks widget, too. The good thing on that app is that it uses yahoo! finance as data source. Yahoo! finance offers more markets than Google Finance does. Yahoo Finance has an app for Android. But if I am looking for it in the market, it's not available. But it's available on appbrain...
Here is the link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-finance/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance
And this is the link for Yahoo! Finance for Android: http://mobile.yahoo.com/finance/android
I would be glad, if someone get's this to work and could upload the *.apk

P.S.
Excuse my poor English
I also could not find Yahoo Finance in the market.
I managed to install Yahoo Fianance from the following link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36281/yahoo!-finance-for-htc-hero/
However, when I opened the app, it just open up the browser linking to mobile yahoo finance site.
Not too sure how to get it working properly as an app.
hi.
get "market enabler", fake a provider in the u.s. and you'll find yahoo finance in the market.
as an alternative i can recommend "stock watcher". has a great ui and offers some widgets.
have fun!

Hi everybody,
Trying to apply a modified update in my desire 500, something went wrong and now, my city list is totally empty.
This affects actually the weather & the clock application.
By empty, I mean that I try to add a city, but there aren't any. I believe that somehow, the related database was corrupted. I searched other forums for this, tried many different ways to restore or to find the db and somehow fix it, but no luck. Can somebody assist ?
Thanks.
