I use MARSWARE Weatherpanel 2.5 trail version
http://www.marware.net
It works perfectly on my Wizard SPV M3000 (by orange france).
You can choose several cities, use cycle display, change themes, icon set, and the layout. By default, this software contains several themes, layout,...
The data update can be done by automatical connection programmed or by ask if you don't have data edge connection (Wifi and Activesync for me).
It supports the PDA proxy settings (useful for weather update during working times).

I searched through a lot of these weather forecast software and I'm having problems with most of them because I stayed in a 'small' city in UK, and most of the software just doesnt have my city in the chart.
So, can you check if this has the city "Exeter" in its list?

i agree with you. it's the best weather plugin, it has animated icons and it is very functional

anyone got a download link for the .cab?

http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/main.htm

I used to use the Marsware one as well on my old X50v. Then when I got my Vario I decided to try SPBWeather instead - might not have the fancy animations but takes up much less space than MarsWare. SPBWeather still has multiple city support and manual or auto updates for retrieving weather info.
I found a great template for it that grabs weather direct from the www.bbc.co.uk/weather and so you can find 99.9% of all UK towns and cities. It also supports other countries as well.
PC Install or PDA Cab : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather/download.html?en
BBC Weather Template : http://www.pdagold.com/themes/detail.asp?t=12007
Support for the BBC template : http://www.spbdn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53
Templates for other online weather sites : http://www.pdagold.com/themes/list.asp?tp=11

SPB Weather - BBC
I have just tried this, installed the app and downloaded the BBC weather 1.2 templates.
All I get is "Error downloading data from site", but it has definately been downloading some data.
I followed the instructions, word for word and they were accurate - but no weather.
Does anyone have any ideas... is it reallt WM5 compatible?

I mentioned in my post that I'm using it on my Vario so yes it does work on WM5.
Have you unzipped the templates and put them into...
\program files\spb weather\templates
...and added them to the programs like the instructions described?
Also, what city/town code are you trying? Let me know and I'll try it on my Vario.

Meschle posted this one in here earlier...
http://www.sompy.com/sweather.html
...but strangely his post has disappeared. I've not personally tried that app so I don't know what it's like - but give it a shot

Hmm I noticed that, I assumed it was because the screenshot was American, so it did only UK weather, but a quick check shows that it says "around the world". The only other thing however is that it says
CPU: Intel Xscale
Does that mean it won't work at all, or just really badly on the Mini S? Mine is slow enough as it is without being any slower!
edit: I guess i found out myself. I tried to install and when confirming on the XDA, it said "Space Required: 1kb" which obviously isn't right, and nothing has appeared on my device at all. Damn

Well i tried MARSWARE Weatherpanel 2.5, however i have two issues with it; Firsty, it seems to really slow my MDA down and when i pull the keyboard out it takes much longer to flip the screen. Secondly, it has installed a strange hard to read font which Opera has seems to have adpoted to start using in its a address bar etc.
Anyone else has any of the probems or know a fix/tweak?

I have spb weather on mine it works great. I liv ein a small town in the south east UK and I simply did a search on weather.com for the code to enter and created a custom city in the software with this code and downloaded the weather.com forecast.
I highly recommend this for any UK dwellers as it works perfectly and weather.com covers the whole uk in pretty good detail.

yup
i found it quite well too
but now i switched to the SBSH PocketWeather as it contain more downloadable details. eg, satellite pics, wind speed, atm pressure, humidity, wind phetch in the today screen.
i think this sw is more suitable for someone who want the program looks more professional
btw, i m in kent too =)

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Just downloaded the 15 day trial of this and SPBs equivalent, no contest.
Marsware WeatherPanel is easily the best.

The existing version 1.1.1 is not WM5 compatible so although it runs on our wizards it will not update the weather after the next soft reset. Version 1.5 is still considered a beta version so it still has some missing features / functions but i have been using it for a couple of months and it works pretty well.

Hi,

Verify if you have proxy enable and disable it.

what do you think about SBSH pocketweather?? does it have the same problems??
I'm using PocketWeather 1.2.4 on my 838. So far I don't have any problems with it. I have it updating everytime I am connected to Activesync between 8am ~ 5pm, I don't have it update on it's own [connect by itself].

hey mate I sent to you a private message
I stopped using any SPB products on my Xda mini. Pocket Plus caused lock ups on soft re-booting and Journal would not work.
I am now using SBSH Pocketweather and SBSH iLauncher instead. As far as i am concerned both progs are better, cheaper and more importantly work 100% with WM5.

exactly...but to me SPBpocket plus still works good...hopefully :? it won't change...now I'm trying SBSHpocket weather...great job really...it support even proxy!!!
I use SPB Weather because can put it like a Folder os SPB Pocket plus that I like very much (have today icons, many funtions to assign a button like "task switch", battery meter, a folder with files that you use frequently, a X close button that close apps realy, calendar folder, tasks folder, etc...) have many many functions!
As I use Weather as a folder I can save Today screen space!
If I use another app weather I will use more today space...
I hope SPB can make a new version of weather (not Beta) soon...
Now I use WiFi connection without proxy to sync weather and is ok.
SPb weather 1.5beta has a problem with updating when docked. Also Intellicast forecasts don't work now. The authors work on that and will release a new version when it's ready.
Giordano, you don't need a new serial as it's still version 1.x As far as it's so you may use your serial to register a new release.

Don't let your heart go
Actually, i'm glad with SPb products: they are useful, and they are made in my hometown so i have a chance to support local developers ))
there is a file on this site for the spb bug called weatheragent2.exe.
I can probably post it, but thought there was a problem posting .exe's on the forum.
if someone wants to pm me an email address i can email it.
it requires a manual click though and doesnt automate the update, but clicking on it forces the update.
it works on my jasjar wm2005 device.
I've just bought and installed the WM 5 compatible version. Installed fine and got my first weather downloaded. I can't get it to refresh though "Weather Data is Not Ready". I've tried through Active Sync and wireles. The ony other thing I've done is added an additional weather source in line with this;
http://www.pdagold.com/themes/detail.asp?t=12007
Deleted that (just in case) but made no diference - won't refresh !
Also: anyone know how to change the text in SPB Weather to white not black (as it was in previous versions) - I use a black Today background and black text doesn't show too well !!!!!
did you try to change the weather source?
Carmi
Yes but no difference.

Simple skin (nokia like)?

Hi!
When I upgraded to the new HTC Artemis I let my wife inherit my Magician, but she is not that in to PPC, so the question is:
Is there a skin suit (WisBar Adv Desktop or something) available that could make the phone more like a "normal" cell phone? She does not realy need all the fancy suff, but she uses tomtom, media player, SMS, MMS, Phone, Contacts, Calendar, IE, phonealarm profiles and phonealarm MMS, SMS, missed call notifications.
Preferably all functions should be available from today screen as large icons.

Seach for the Orange today plugin. Make it looks very much like a normal phone (that's why I don't use it )

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276425
I've tested it on my WM5, not sure if (it should) work on WM2003

This is just what I'm looking for, sadly it does not run on PPC2003SE :-(
I guess the same thing could be made as a WisBar theme, maybe it already is, but just hard to find ;-)

You might just want to look around for any old thread/forum/post that has this Orange plugin. As Orange does have a Magician release that has that today plug-in (eg they DO have a plugin for 2003). Good luck.

Hi!
Yes I know, but I'm looking for a skin to the WisBar adv desktop software pack.

I'm not sure if this helps, but if you were to use cLaunch to set up the Today screen .. 'nicely', you may able to make it looks simplier. Take a look at the iPhone cLaunch skin here. Note: cLaunch maybe a bit troublesome to setup.

[Looking for] Today plugin to toogle wifi, radio and bluetooth

Hi all,
I'm looking for a small today plugin that would allow me to toogle wi-fi, bluetooth and radio at the touch of an icon. Simple, straightforward and lightweight.
I know there are already applications that do it, like Phoneweaver and others, or Vijay's Volubilis (command-line only), but I'm really looking after that simple and effective plugin -- I'm sure it has to exist somewhere.
And if one could customize the icons to use for the toggles, it would be heaven
Thanks a lot in advance !
Hi, this works good for me.
You can also look for BatteryStatus today plugin. It has an TrayLaunch, with I use to activate wlan, bluetooth (a2dp) and can also deactivate phone. Very customizable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751&highlight=batterystatus
I think effcom is what you are looking for. Found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1395099&postcount=1
This is my whirless.cab (Effcom)
Sorry, you're right. I didn't actually check out your attachment, just looked at the name.
yes effcom is the best one
effcom seems a perfect solution, thanks to all of you. Any chance there is a way to customize it so it uses icons instead of text ?

Battery Status give you the option of placing Bluetooth, Wifi and Phone in the Systray. Very handy...and takes minimal space.

Try SPB Phone Suitehttp://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en. It has a today plugin, that includes Radio On/Off, Bluetooth On/Off, WiFi On/Off and much more. This is in case your device is a pda phone of course.

Best HTC Touch Home / TouchFlo app?

I'm looking for the 'best' version of the HTC Touch / TouchFlo Today screen app - not the one line thing, but the nice 1/2 screen black interface with the clock.
Before I get flames - I did search both of the Titan threads here; however, a lot of the links provided pointed to nothing or to sites that are no longer available. The one that I did find seemed to hose up my XV6800 (luckily I was able to boot into safe mode on it - I use iLauncher - and then remove the app which fixed the hang). So I want to see what everyone else is using for this application, and which version is the 'best' - by that I mean that uses the least memory, has the most features (5 tabs would be my minimum), etc.
Thanks everyone for any advice, links, etc.

Is this what you are looking for:

If so you can just install the HHC app and it will install the HTC home plugin. Configure it to not use the weather as that is the memory leak.
HHC is the best one that i have found and works really well

Weather Watcher from Singers Creations, it's completely free, and has very detailed weather info. Hourly/Daily/maps/alerts, etc.
Unfortunately it's not a today plugin program, it has to be launched by hand. It also keeps track of how much data it's transferred so you can get an idea if it will exceed your quota from your provider. Tho I think most of us have unlimited plans.
BTC
Sorry, Jambrose, but the latest one you specified at http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=235876 is the one I tried before. Once I install it, and try to go to the Today control panel applet, the Titan hangs. When I soft-reset it, it boots up, but as soon as it gets to the Today screen, ActiveSync (window) pops up on it, I get an error message from Voice Command, and then it hangs. Over and over.... Luckily I use iLauncher and used the safe restart mode and removed it. Once I did that everything went back to normal.
There is something about this version of the app that doesn't like the Titan or dcd's particular ROM.
Any ideas anyone? And dcd, if you read this, any chance of you adding the HTC app to your ROM kitchen as an optional install? (maybe then it would work right)

I like SBSH PocketWeather - has the most information, gives you the current temp and statistics, and if you have an unlimited data plan can download at regular intervals.

Phone lock up
Well, I've got the xv6800. Istalled the program and now the phone locks up everytime at the today screen. Sometimes not even getting it loaded all the way. How do i either fix this for get this off my phone so I can use the phone?
Thanks
EDIT: NVM...I ended up doing a hard restart. Unless I did something wrong, people with the 6800 beware. Phone my lock up on you.
anyone know how to get it to work on wm6.1?
it worked fine on my htc touch when i was at wm6, but after i upgraded the rom to wm6.1, i get a homexec error, or something like that. then on reset, it hangs like other people said.
does anyone know if this works on wm6.1?

Sunrise/Sunset App For HD2?

The only thing I really miss from my old TyTN II is WeatherPanel with its extensive information. However, the default HD2 weather is fine for everything except the missing sunrise/sunset times. Does anyone have a small app to suggest that I can install? Sunrise PPC 1.4 is unacceptable because it doesn't save settings (as far as I can tel).
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-
excellent ideea! I need too!
I need too, anyone can help us?
Weather4me gives sunrise and sunset info. bouncing around on bus, can't search for link at the mo ; )

This has worked well for me for quite awhile: http://www.brothersoft.com/mobile/sun.n.moon-60299.html
So why don't you reinstall weatherpanel app on your HD2 ? I have it with diamond skin and it works fine.

Exactly what I did. Once I found the "Darkness231 TF3D to WeatherPanel Switcher.cab" which allows quick switching between views, I re-installed WeatherPanel and tweaked it to look somewhat like the rest of the HD2 views.
