Does any one know the update frequency for HTC weather widget if it is set to 'Update my location in real time'?
Is it real "real time" or just some arbitrary update frequency based on screen unlocks/min time frame or some combination? Just curious.
I would "think" it's set in Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Weather
I know how to set it, but just curious how often does it really update the weather.

is it just me or has this happened to anyone else.. but i just purchased an HTC Inspire today and the location updates without a problem.. but every place that im at or been through the weather data is always not available.
Had the same issue earlier on my inspire and my daughter's desire z. Working fine for me now so I assumed it was just a temporary problem.
I only really care about the weather where my home is, so so I could leave wireless networks off but still have my home weather, and HTC includes like 2 us cities, I edited the weather's settings.db to include my city in its choices for default cities. Worked good.
If anyone's interested ill have to check exactly what sqlite values I edite, can't remember off the top of my head.
I'm interested. You really know you're stuff dude.

Thanks di11igaf, can't wait to mess around with it, when I get off work too
Sorry guys, not using sense right now and didn't have time last night to flash my sense Rom back. I'll do It tonight and write how to add a location. If someone wants to look into it before me though its in /data/data/ one of the HTCweather database files(there's a few), and inside that its one of the .db files. You'll need an sqlite editor to change the values either on the phone(you can buy one from within root explorer), or edit it on your pc and put it back. You'll see what has to be changed cause it will have all the locations listed inside the db file. I'll know exactly what to edit later with a step by step.
Actually I think you've given us enough to empower ourselves I'm going to tackle this tonight. Thanks again.

On my stock (i.e. not rooted) AT&T Inspire, the weather widget sucked. You can not add weather locations that you may be interested in. (Score one for iPhone).
My great solution: Get Weather Bug app (or something similar). You can add any location you wish and get more info.
Now you need a way to link the stock HTC clock widget to the Weather Bug app. Well you can NOT do it.
SO, get Fancy Widgets! They have 100 of cool widgets, including the nice looking HTC clock/weather widget (small and large), and it includes custom options to set which app to start / link when tapped.
So when you tap the weather widget part, Weather Bug starts. Tap clock, goes to the stock clock / alarm app.
Problem solved, home screen works better than iPhone!
Anyone having issues with the "Weather Information Not Available" on the weather clock widget? I'm no NOOB, but I can't find a setting to have the weather info refresh more often? Under settings it won't let me set it up? Manually refreshing is getting old. Thanks for any help.

Weather app> settings> sync schedule
I think you also have to set auto sync to yes in the accounts and sync settings

Anyone figure out how to do this? It's been really simple to view them on previous versions of Sense or any aosp roms, but it seems they overlooked the option on Sense 3.0 :-(
On another note, I'm probably the only person that uses this :-! (My gf and I both put our work schedules into Google Calendar and share the calendars with each other so we can easily glance at our schedules.. It's pretty useful)..
Is not in the usual menu. Tap the bar at the top of the calendar, it is a dropdown box to choose which calendars are displayed. Is that what you were looking for?

Im using this also and no problems. The shared calendar appeared after-hours first sync

yes, go to the weather app in the app draw and once you select it press the menu key. hit add and find your location. repeat to add other locations. the different weather locations can be seen using the weather widget. hope this helps.

***Disclaimer*** This only occurs if you HAVE NOT enabled Google Now when setting up for the first time.....
If you use Google Now and are getting the temperature of any City you voice search for the weather showing up in the Google Now cards in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, this is the fix I discovered:
You must first have Google Now "ENABLED" in order for the fix to work.
1. Go to Setting in your Google Now and enable it on the top left hand corner and choose "Yes I'm In"
2. Now, go to Settings on the lower right hand corner gain.
3. Then you will get an option for "Weather" under Google Now that is not listed while Google Now is not enabled. Then go into the Weather Settings and make sure "Weather units" is set to Fahrenheit.
4. Do a search for a weather temperature for whatever city you choose to verify it shows up as Fahrenheit.
5. Now you can go back and disable Google Now if you choose to. From then on, you will get Fahrenheit to show up for weather inquires....

On the weather screen after a weather query there is a small C and F. The F should be blue, just press it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
