SPB Weather, Anyone got it working on Wizard? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi,
I have successfully installed SPB weather; I have used weather.com to add cities in the UK and even tried another template for BBC weather. I cannot get it to d/l the weather to display on the home screen. All it says is 'Weather data not available'.
Under my sync settings I have it set to update when docked update after city added and automatic update every hour. No joy. The stats show no gprs usage either. Manual seems a waste of time as I cannot figure out how to manually sync it.
I have asked spb but await a response from them.
Can anyone help???

Version 1.5 beta works for me but only with a connection without proxy!
With proxy no works!

And don't install SPBWeather on your SD Card or it won't work.

Weather?????

Does anybody know about a weather prog, thats works for Sweden????
PocketWeather has support for most of the larger cities in sweden.
I use it and can recomend it.
http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketweather/
I use WheatherPanel from MarsWare www.marsware.net
MEE, why do you prefer pocketweather ?
It´s the only one I tried so I cant say that I prefer it. But it does the job for me and has´nt make any trouble.
I bought it boundled with pocketbreeze.
But WheatherPanel also looks interesting, the features are almost the same.

Hur uppdaterar du Pocketweather?
Genom Activesync eller på ågot annat sätt.
Finns de flesta större Svenska städer med?

How do you update?
Activsync or with the phone?
I tried both but i cant get it to update, i dont get any conection.
What kind of device do you have, could you give me a step to step information?
I realy needs a weather program.
I update both trough GPRS and activesync on my QTEK s100.
I attach a file with the cities supported by pocketwheater.
Do you have a working GPRS-connection?
Can you connect to internet trough activesync?
If this work then it should be no problem to update the wheater in pocketwheater.
Good luck
I don't if you hacve the same on PocketWeather, but on WeatherPanel, you have a Diagnostics page, helpfull to try if it's working (and connecting) fine.
If you can go on the web from you PPC (using IE) you should update the app easily

i have the jam/qtekS100.
works booth throug GPRS and activesync. Do activesync work on for example PIE?
Have u listed where u live? u can do an easy search in options.
sbsh pocketweather is great! lot's of options and also has diagnostics.
??????
When i do a city search a get a message that says: "no cities found. please enter another city, but Malilla is on the list, and when i run diagnostics i get a couples of errors in proxy, what should the proxy settings be?????
HELP....
First thing: do you have an internet connection from your PPC (can you surf on the web) ?
Explain us, how are you connected. GPRS, Wifi, ActiveSync passthrough ?
I have both gprs connection and conection via activesync, i have no problem to update my avantgo, but i cant get the weather prog to update, it´s complaining about proxy, no cities, and no conection at all :?: :?:
My pc is allways conected, so i should get on the net as soon as i put the synccable in.

Ditto on PocketW eather. I love it. I tried Weather Panel and it wasn't as good in visual presentation. Also, it keep self-dialing out on my GPS, which awas annoying since I prefer to update when I'm on active sync.
Howver Pocket Weather seems to refuse to self-update on active sync, even though I instructed it to that automatically. So its not perfect. But it seems to be the best one out there.
My pocketweather updates automatically when synched.
try unchecking the comms-connection manager box

Doesn't seem to work so far. We'll see how it goes.
Anyway, will that make my JAM go out on GPRS on its own? The whole point is that I wasnt the weather to always sync automatically when on ActiveSync - but if its not docked then I only want GPRS updates if I manually initiate them.
with this setting - nothing checked - pocket weather will only update if it detects a connection (ie active sync or manually started gprs). it will not automatically start up gprs.
remember that pocket weather will only update itself at least one hour since the last update (or longer if user selected), so try setting up like this and plug in to activesynch in an hour or so.
hope that helps

Updates for Weather to go

I recently installed the Weather-to-go on my Cingular 8525. It a useful application.
To update the weather, I have to use activesync. How can I use wireless internet on my phone to update the weather info?

Thanks. It worked.
I connected to wi-fi and then clicked update in the weather-to-go menu. It updated the info.

HTC Touch Home Screen's Weather Update

Did anyone ever figure out how to get this page to update Via GPRS? Mine will only update from an AS Connection or if I happen to have WiFi on at the time. But, if I am connected using GPRS then it fails to recognize internet connectivity. (Yes, I do have wap.voicestream.com available and I am paying for the basic service).
Thanks in advance for any information you provide.
The reason could be that your GPRS connection is set through a proxy server.
I have the same problem with my GPRS.
Only if you can set the proxy address in your programs or can patch the program to except a proxy address you will be successful.
There is no other way to bypass a providers fixed proxy as far as I'm informed.

Actually, Come to think of it, I wouldn't think it would present a problem; The Weather plug-in is part of the HTC Touch - which presumably is built to use either GPRS or whatever available at the time. Thus it should work just the same on any similar unit.
Yes you are right, but some a provider offer a few different data subscriptions.
So with certain GPRS supscriptions you have only access certain ports which are defined be the provider.
I for example have a WAP & Email flatrate supscription, which allows me to surf wap pages and receive push mail.
Without simple modifications I would not be able to also surf on http sites.
If I would use a different GPRS option from my provider I would be able to surf with no porblems or use any kind of programs accessing the web.
I once had Spb Weather installed on my XDA and was only able to use my GPRS flat with it if I had a patched .exe of Spb Weather installed so it could pass the restricted O2 proxy.
I hope you get my point.
To simplify it, if you are able to use the Live Messenger on your xda with GPRS then you should also be able to update the Touch weather plugin.
BTW - SPB mobile shell wont waste such a great space on todayscreen - which for me is important for appointments and there are no problems with weather etc.
And looks nice.
And the now screen - i´m searching
You can find more infos here: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/screenshots.html?de
And in black with digital clock it looks nice.
And the menu strukture is perfekt for onehanded using.

there is a reghack:
search for "GPRS" and there msut be a value "enableDIfferGPRSicon" or something like that.
Set it to 1 and it will change from "G" = when GPRS (little slow) or "E" = EDGE (faster) is available.
lol

Thank you.
You can get the weather working. what seems to be the problem?
The problem is the weather updates only via WiFi. The weather does not update via GPRS/EDGE.

Finally found a fix for this. Use the Touch cab or just the HTC Home DLL from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Mine works fine now.

Weather panel 5 days forecast
after i installed the HTC Home plugin, the "Download weather automatically" was enabled since then. I'm wondering why the weather panel, displays only the forecast of the last update even 2days already past. It will display the current weather forecast ONLY when you CONNECT or get update through the internet. The succeeding forecast will not display until you updated. It seems the 5 days forecast is not working properly.
i noticed that after i installed the plugin, the HTC home folder was not in the /Windows folder. is this normal? do i need to copy some files into my /windows folder?
Is there any way that the weather forecast will display the succeeding forecast without updating it to the internet since there are 5 days of forecast?

Weather report without GPRS

Hi guys!
Already asked in other sub-forum, but no reply there, hopefully more luck here.
Since GPRS and other mobile internet is expense in Belgium, isn't there an application that loads the weather report for the next week, everytime you sync your Touch Dual (or whatever HTC...) to your PC/Laptop. That way, you wouldn't have to use GPRS to get weather reports.
In my case it would drastically lower my gprs cost(since I sync every day!), and still have the eye candy of all those fancy apps you guys made here!
Grtz & thx very much!
in my country gprs is also so expensive..so I need it too..anyone can help us?
try this
1-turn on flight mode
2-sync your phone
3-tap update on weather app you use
Doesn't it work to turn on wifi (if your phone has it) and instead of using GPRS, it loads the data over the wifi? I know I've done this with Google Maps, and many other programs since I don't have a data plan.
Spb Weather does exactly what you want.
In the options you can specify to sync when docked and otherwise to sync only manually.
I'm using it since a while and had no sync through GPRS till now.
Don't know where it is getting it's info from or how, but i have just put Mobile Shell on a Himalaya, XDA II, and put a pay-as-you-go SIM in it with no credit.
Left it for a while after telling the weather bit where i am and lo and behold the weather forecast has updated.

Wizard - SPB shell weather glitch

Greetz all. I have a g4 wizard and recently installed SPB Mobile Shell latest ver. After installing I could not use mw phone on the gprs net. Tried everything .. and pure chance I later discovered that the weather module in shell take posession of the modem - blocking tha Standard WM5 modem connection. If you do not select a city in the weather module setup - then the modem is set free and your internet is cool. If u select a city I can forget using the mail or internet.
Is there any hack or repair to fix this with hexedit or other patch? SPB do not believe me. Any help apprec....
joofb
Try unchecking the automatic update box in settings. Perhaps if it only down loads manualy you can still use you internet.
