Hello, I wonder if it's possible to show the cell broadcast info (channel 050 for the actual location) in Manila 2.5 just like in Nokia mad phones...I know that exist an old old today plugin but it doesn't work well and of course it's not Manila "compliant".
Alternatively is there a way (an app) to get the location name from GPS and show it in Manila (near the operator name)?
Thanks and regards
Andrea
any chance to find a solution for this issue?
Have a look at CHTS Loco - location based on cell information and narrowed down further by proximity to remembered wireless hubs (so it can even pinpoint which room you are in in your house!). Keep watching it because the dev is working on GPS integration, but GPS use brings with it serious battery drain so current way is excellent. Should be pretty easy to produce a simple widget to display cell based location - I'll look into it.

Unfortunaltey CHTS Loco doesn't "show" the location in the home screen, it "just" allows to perform a location change triggered event if I didn't missunderstand....
just the name of your location? why you don't use the location based service from htc? shows you the current location in/around the clock and weather animation?

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...
The Galaxy S4 and Note 3 are the only Android devices right now with ambient temperature and humidity sensors. This Weather Station app I developed (free and with no ads) utilizes these sensors and additional ones to the full delight of amateur and pro meteorologists:

String resources from this app are attached for translation only. Do not assume you can use them in your own app without talking to me. If you want to use the strings in a revenue generating app please pm or email me beforehand for permission.

Translating strings and arrays in res.zip:
All who help with translations will be acknowledged in the app. The res/values directory contains the files strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml with the English (US) words and phrases that would need to translated. As an example here is how the translation to Brazilian Portuguese worked:
Step 1) Copy the strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml files from res/values to another location.
Step 2) Complete the translation of the words and phrases inside the xml tags.
Example 1:
<string name="app_name">Weather Station</string>
becomes
<string name="app_name">Estação Meteorológica</string>
Example 2:
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Rising</item>
<item>Falling</item>
</string-array>
becomes
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Subindo</item>
<item>Caindo</item>
</string-array>
Step 3) The translated files are placed into a new directory inside the res directory called values-pt (or values-pt-rBR). I can take care of this last step I just need to know what language it is and if it is limited to a regional dialect.
Works in other devices?
Dude, read the ops first sentence...
Sent from my SGSIII
That's cool. I'm going to give it a go.
works good on i9500, loving it , gr8 work!!!
why always with the crappy "auto start" on phone boot?

The pressure will work on any device that has a barometer (e.g. Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, etc). The temp and humidity will only work on a Galaxy S4 b/c it is the only device right now with a ambient thermometer and hygrometer.

As I explain in the Google Play listing, the auto start permission is to run a very short service to re-set the alarm so background readings can be taken. The service only runs for a split second and then kills itself. If you disable background readings the service won't run on restart.
I am very interested in knowing how accurate the temperate sensor is working on the S4. Can someone test this out with a dedicated temperature reader and tell me how accurate it is or how off it is in Fahrenheit? Thanks.
if u can add a temp warning notification , then it will be perfect...
like i am able to set it to warn if the temp goes over xx degree..
Oh thanks mate! I got these readings, first is in my home and second is from outside. That second is littlebit weird because internet shows that there is only +4 celsius.

How long were you outside for? Perhaps the phone needed to stay outside longer in order to read the temperature correctly (away from other heat sources like yourself or the sun)?? Or worst case scenario is that the S4 temp sensor is not that accurate (we would need to find some specs on the sensors that Samsung is using).
Adjust Temperature
Is there any way to calibrate the temp sensor.?
Currently most readying are way higher than actual readings
I spent half an hour trying to find out why the thank you button is not available for me but couldn't find out why.
Thank You.Vry nice app.

About 10minutes. Maybe i need to try later, but usually i'm outside only 5-10minutes when i walk to train station or to grocery shop.

This was debated by me when I was making the app and I decided not to include it (but may put it in a future release if it is greatly demanded). The logic is that the temperature sensors are supposed to be calibrated to high accuracy at the factory and should not lose accuracy over time. Thus the "actual reading" you are referring to IS the actual reading that the thermometer on the phone is reporting. If it is higher than another thermometer nearby, it is higher for a reason (probably because of your body temperature heating the sensor, or the sun, or some other reason). The question is why fudge that?
i guess your mobile must be in your pocket.. try expose it to the weather..

This will be in the next release.
I've noticed that the temperature on the S4 is always higher. The reason is probably that the S4 is a heat source in itself! Unless the temperature sensor is incredibly well insulated from the rest of the phone then it will always be affected. I might test this and take a reading but only after having left the phone off for some time like 30 minutes (to let it cool sufficiently) then switch it on and take the reading before too much heat has built up in the device.
I released a new app to view weatherforecast for the next 5 days on the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maximussoft.simpleweather
It is mean to be a very simple weather app.
No widgets, notifications etc.
Just clean clear fast weather.
The feed is driven by http://openweathermap.org/
The icons are from Adam Whitcroft's famous climacons.
It is meant to be extremely simple with no extras at all. Just to keep it bug free. There is one issue though, if you enter a really wide range (like a state name) in the location, it does return with the location but is unable to fetch the weather.
Please let me know if you see any issues.
I am looking for a Weather App that gets me quickly to the hourly weather forecast for today / tomorrow. I am looking for something like this web page.
I do not want to waste my time or bandwidth (...or battery) downloading a full screen weather radar map to get it. I prefer not to be distracted by the useless 10-day weather forecast. Looking at it just leads to lifelong aggrevation and disappointment, LOL.
Suggestions?
Browser Kind Of Works
I have not found any app that does exactly what I want. Right now, I am using the built-in browser in CM 12.1 with images disabled.
I have my home screen set to:

There is one glitch with this that I find annoying. This page will not display properly without javascript. Sometimes the page uses that privilege to show me something I did not ask for. This week, it wanted to force me to look at trending news instead.
