My HTC sensation arrived yesterday, however after the 2.3.4 update I seem to have some weird issue.
While the gps is super precise in finding my location the meteo (which if i got that right works using the the wifi) seems to find a whole different area. The plan was to overcome the issue by setting my own location on the widget which unfortunatly is not present in the device archive (Alessandria Italy).
Is there a chance to add it ?
The location updates correctly if I decide to use only the GPS to determine my location, it works perfectly with the meteo application but the widget (the clock one) does NOT work with wireless location deactivated.
It would just be a lot easier I could add my own city to the database using weather codes, isnt there a way to do so?

personaly i find the only show 1 days weather like the default touch plugin seem to do kinda useless unless you work underground and cant look out the window
it's what tomorrow and the day after brings that i wanna know about
SPB Weather is the one I have gone back to time and time again, although saying that I don't currently use it.
The problem I find is that whatever it says changes from morning to afternoon since weather is so unpredictable.
Now I simply use weather plugins on www.google.com/ig and view that on Opera.
I'm still using PocketWeather with the radar images configured on my Today Screen. I have two images for each city -- one regional and one local so I know what's coming during the day and how long it will take for anything showing on the regional radar to get here. I also have it set to update weather conditions and radar images every 15 minutes so the info is always up-to-date. . . wouldn't leave home without it.
Hi!
Am in Goa at the moment and want to use the Weather part of HTC Home... yet I cannot find any of the major cities for the state of Goa listed in the HTC Home Weather settings.
There are many Indian cities shown (including Mumbai, where I was last week), yet I do not know which one to use for Goa; not even the capital of Goa is on the list!
Can any Indian users check the HTC Home Weather city list and tell me which city is closest to Calangute, or anywhere in Goa?
I promise that doing so will positively increase your karma
/me having fun in sunny Goa (32 deg C all week!)
Turns out there is a standalone app that lets one add custom weather entries...

Goan' to try it now!
Unfortunately even after using the editing app, the info is still not found.
No reason why, and the devs are quiet.
Anyone here use HTC Home weather in Goa?
Hi guys
I'm running with PCarvalho's (23547) rom at the moment and was wondering if it is possible to have a location on the weather tab that updates the five-day forecast automatically depending on where you are at the time. What I mean is to make it perform in pretty much the same way as the location on the Home tab does. I've done some searching on the subject but didn't come up with any results.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Cheers
Mikey
Hi All!
I thought I'd ask you guys about something that I find a bit curious about the weather widget that's included in HTC's mobiles (I have a Desire).
One of the first things I did when I got this phone was to add some locations, and take away others. And living in a "smaller" city just outside of Barcelona I was at first very happy to see that this city (Cerdanyola Del Valles) came up as a "current" location. That sense of joy quickly disappeared when I went to work in Barcelona, and could no longer see the weather at home.
Ok, I thought - since Cerdanyola comes up as "Current" when I'm at home I can search for it and add it as one of my stored locations. - Nope!
I tried neighboring cities - same result. I happen to live in an area where 4-5 km's on my bike can give me 3-4 different "current" locations and none of them come up when I try to add them as "stored" locations.
- Why is that?
Why is it that I can't "save" a current location and later view what's happening there? I mean - The city seems to exist wherever the forecast is taken from - and the forecast obviously exists as well. So why?
Or have I missed something?
The name of the city is taken from geolocation infomation but the weather forecast is taken from the nearest meteo station around. I live in a small city near Romanian border, the name of the city is corrent but the weather forecast is based on the information sent by a weather station 30km away in Bulgaria, the closest one to me. You cannot change this behaviour unless you manually edit the files where the cities names and their associated weather station in World Meteorological Organization codes are stored.

Ouch! That one seemed a bit more complicated than I want to get into... if it's even possible to edit this without being rooted...
What I don't get though is why I can't just "save current location" or similar in the widget, now that there actually is (since I get it when being at home) weather data for my city.
Anyway - thanks for your reply. I guess I just have to search my area to find the city that is closest to where I live and go with that. Can't go with Barcelona, since that is by the coast and I live on the other side of a "mountain range" with sometimes quite big differences in weather from 20 km's away...
So I´m currently running ARHD 6.2.1 non xe rom with stock kernel 1,2ghz and all needed latest firmware. and I have had problems with stock weather application since ARHD 5.x ics rom.
I currently live in Finland in a smalltown and In ARHD GB roms, my weather information in my location was working. After installed 5.X , always when I opened weather application I got error" Could´nt Connect To Location,,, something something..." But is showed the Weather information but my Location was just somewhere in Finland. Didn´t show the name of city where I were. Only Finnish city which was working/in the list was the capital city Helsinki.
Now after ARHD 6.1 my location doesn´t work at all! It says that my location is somewhere in Dallas, Texas. And I tryied to use HTC location app and it says samething. Google maps gives right location (500-700meters near of the real location, like home) , So does any1 know how to get ridd off this issue? Since I can´t post to development threads and send PM´s, about this issue..

I have the same issue not sure of the solution.
Just out of interest, do you have the problem were your wifi connection switches off when your screen turns off even when it is set to 'never'.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with this when the application tries to sync location for weather.
I'm running stock ics sense 3.25 from an RUU install and i am sure the weather displayed my exact location when i set it up but now it just displays United Kingdom.
EDIT I've just deleted the weather clock widget from my homescreen, gone into menu\settings\applicaions\all and deleted the data from both the clock and clock widget applications and force stopped them. I then rebooted my phone and re-inserted the clock widget on my homescreen, set it up for my location and now everything works fine.
