desire 500 - all cities lost - Miscellaneous Android Development

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.

Can´t update my weather data anymore?

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...

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

[Q] ROM 5.05.403.2 DAN + Weather DB

I updated my Touch Pro this weekend to the newest ROM from HTC but now I can't edit my cities in the phone anymore.
I've tried the two different Weather DB utilities that's linked several times in the forum, I've tried looking for the XML file to hardcode edit it...but no luck so far.
When I tried the Weather DB utilities I got a massive exception saying the there was a read/write-lock or a file missing...which kindda confused me even more...I could understand if it was a plain locking problem but the other one giving me a file missing left me sitting like a big question mark.
Anyone got an idea what the heck to do

Titanium Weather location problem?

Well, the problem is that I can't see the temperature and I only see red crosses. I live in Holland, so my location (I looked it up) gave me
EUR|NL|NL002|LELYSTAD
But I can't get ANY information about the weather at all. I even tried to set the location to Amsterdam, but without any result.
Can someone help me out?

[Q] Weather Database

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

[Q] USA results on Google Search - I'm in the UK

I had this problem on my Desire, and managed to fix it, but cannot for the life of me remember how.
I've tried everything i can think of, but when I search something like 'lottery', the results are for the US, not the UK (even though I'm searching with google.co.uk). Same when I search 'Spurs', I'm getting NBA related results rather than english football.
Google knows where I am when showing me local shops etc, but the results when searching are always UK first.
Can anyone help me with this?
