HTC Home Weather Doesn't update with GPRS - Wing, P4350 General

My wing seems like having issue in updating weather information with GPRS. When using GRPS (T-Mobile EDGE) connection, it does not update the weather. However, It works with WI-FI.
In this case, I believe this is not a setting issue in my weather plugin. Is anyone having the same issue? and do someone know how to fix this?
Thank you in advance

Cingular (USA) HSDPA settings?

Where can I find them? My TyTn just arrived and I have to set these things manually... thanks!
Same as your GPRS settings; it's no different
Hi there, iIam in the same boat. I do not know how to enter the settings or even where to find them. I saw the a previous reply to you said "Same as your GPRS settings," but that did not help me because I do not know what those are or how to enter them.
I woud also appreciate help on this issue.
Thanks
Cingular Settings
Ok,
This link should take you to the Cingular settings for the 8125. They're the same for HSDPA as well as plain GPRS
https://supportcingular.atgnow.com/...Setting+the+APN+on+the+Cingular+8125.#Goto101
This link is for the MMS settings, in case you need them.
https://supportcingular.atgnow.com/...ring+MMS+settings+on+the+Cingular+8125#Goto11
If for whatever reason they don't work, goto support on Cingular's site and search for 8125 GPRs settings and you'll get them. Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks! It's working.
I tried to test via dslreports.com but those Java-styleed stuff did not work, just like speedtest.net did not work...
UPDATE: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed works and I got 811kb/s with 0.4xxms latency... hmmm, is there a way to lower this crazy latency?
It's dslreports.com/mspeed And sorry about that, I figured you knew the settings already, or else I would have posted them
I cam getting similar results. I am wondering if it has to do with the connection settings. On Telus EVDO RevA I had a latency of about 50ms and a dl speed of around 1500kbit

weather not updating on t-mobile usa

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to start it here, since all other threads are bombered with "i want the htc touch weather applet"... and explanation on how to add cities.
This thread is to discuss any findings about why T-Mobile USA (and some UK) customers can never get updates via GPRS/Edge.
Almost a perfect device, but always these small annoying issues that SHOULD work, but never do.

Did you enable the "update when roaming" option ?

where?
I wanted to open a thread about this. This is a weird problem. One thing we know is not about the ports. This is really weird but my weather has updated twice over GPRS. I never noticed when it does it. Any proffesional help is appreciated.
I think this thread needs to go somewhere else because it is something general.
I am also seeing the same issues with T-Mobile USA. I am able to load Cities when I am connected to a PC or via Wifi, but not over Edge.
Weird
I was out on vacation the whole week and the weirdest thing happened. It updated my forecast. Just once, and didn't do it since. I wonder if it's tower/location specific. And yes, I have update when roaming enabled.
I am having the same exact problem, it updates when I active snyc, but not over GPRS- and I am on Tmobile also.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this yet? It would make this app so much better being able to receive weather updates on the go via gprs/edge. I am having the same issue on tmobile, only able to update weather via active sync or wifi.

not yet. someone please contact the pda department and ask them to investigate further, although I think they wont do anything since the htc home plug is not meant for use with tmobile usa.
I just called T-Mobile's PDA support. They ran some diagnostics and told me that everything is fine on their end.
They said that if we can browse the web then we must be able to update the weather plugin.
One thing I did notice is that if I open the following link from my PDA it gets all the information:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW%20YORK
This link is what the weather plugin uses.
My touch is from the UK and in Canada the phone always shows roaming. As such what I have found is that I need to have BOTH "auto download" AND "roaming downloads" enabled to causes the plugin to "automatically" refresh the data.
The refresh does not happen as you would think howerver ( ie, in the background ) but rather when you switch to the weather display. If the last download was older than a preset age, it will download the latest weather conditions.
With roaming downloads or auto download disabled I have to force a download (ie refresh weather data) by manually clicking on the elapse time displayed next to the city name.
Where do I configure HTC Weather to use a proxy?
This problem reminds me of the days when everyone besides T-Mo users could access Google results pages. I think the consensus was that there was some incompatibility with MTU settings. It could be that this is the case here too.
Just found a fix here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Step 1 worked for me...! Weather now updating via GPRS/EDGE
EDIT: I just unistalled the HTC Home cab and only copied across the HTC Home dll and it works as well. No need to run the host software.
Are you really using T-Mobile's proxy connection for this?

Nope, blackberry plan. Shouldn't technically matter though, if you're using the proxy you could point to the guys server via pocket hosts.
Cheers,
Robbie.
I'm still not able to get this to work. I think there are 2 things going on here for those which require T-Mo's proxy. First, is the T-Mo network problem in general that you seem to have been able to get around, and secondly, forcing the app to use T-Mobile's proxy, b/c all traffic must use that to use the wap APN.
Which servers are you using to get this to work over the internet APN?
make sure your apn says: wap.voicestream.com
username:
password:
leave username and password blank
try this, it may work

Disabling Data Connection

Hi All,
I'm traveling from the US (Cingular 8525) to England and Ireland next week. I spoke with the AT&T guys and they said it's quite expensive for data usage there if I'm internationally roaming. I'm currently running WM6 Black Shadow at the moment (which changes frequently). Is there a surefire way to disable the data connection so that even if I accidentally hit my Internet Explorer button or my email tries to sync, it's blocked? Ideally this would be some switch I could easily toggle. Also, does anybody have an idea how much text messages would be if I sent or received them while abroad?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Check out Paul at modaco. He's written an app, IIRC, that does this.

Easiest thing to do......delete your GPRS settings?? (obviously write them down)
Even easier ... You can set up a connection in settings->connections->connections with obviously incorrect values for AccessPoint (none.att), username ([email protected]) and password (wrongpw), and then set that as the locked connection while you're traveling. Then you can easily toggle it on & off as needed.
-pvs
BTW, This thread shouldn't be in the WM6 Forum. Would have fit better in the General Hermes section, I think, where mikechannon would've been happy to assist.

Twitter App Only Works on Wi-fi!!!

As the title says, after flashing my HD2 from 1.43 to 1.48, my Twitter (which I've just started to use for the first time) only works on wi-fi and not via mobile coverage. Is there a tweek I need to do on the settings or reinstall the app somehow?

Are you on Tmobile ??
Untick Proxy in connections. Sorted it for me..
yes on T-Mobile UK!
I get the same behavior and i don't have proxy enabled. I noticed its random, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and this made me think it might be from twitter but i'm not sure.

Unticking the proxy box did not work for me. I took my HD2 into a t-mobile shop at lunch and they said the only way to fix this was to revert to factory settings! Maybe it's time to try a cooked ROM...

They (usually) don't know what they're talking about in the shops - they're (usually) not techie.

[Q] Has your weather been updating lately?

Am I the only one with this problem or is it bigger than me? Does ya'll's manilla weather update correctly? Mine hasn't updates since 11:42pm on 7-14-10. I've looked through the settings & all is the same as before 7-14-10. Nothing has been added to the device in the month of July. I can get on the internet, get messages (SMS, MMS & e-mail), but the weather will not update. Is it me or something with Accuweather? At least I think it's Accuweather that handles the manilla weather tab. Let me know & thanks in advance........
common reason is leaving your world clock set to a specific location rather than "my location"

can you tell me where i can change this setting?
the weather/location update well over wifi, but over 3G it doesn't work almost at all in my house anymore as it used to, though i can connect and send/ receive emails and browse the web normally...maybe in other locations it does
is that a problem in the weather service itself or what?

just tap the clock, however in your case i don't think it will help, since you say it sometimes works.
could be your data connection uses a proxy? settings menu all settings connection connection advanced edit proxy tab.

Manila Weather Update
Hi All,
My weather update is exactly the same it won't update using gprs (no 3g here) and it will update over wifi. This has been a problem for 5 days now but I have had the HD2 since Feb and never had a problem before!! All the settings are the same and correct and the World Time is set to "my location", yet I still have to go to wifi to update the weather??
Has anybody got any ideas?
I haven't recently loaded any programs and I'm using a stock 1.66 rom on virgin.
Cheers
Tim
Mine and my wifes has stopped telling me the exact location I am and instead gives me the weather of the city 20 miles down the road. It used to tell me the exact village I was in.
I have the same problem after hard reset

Yep mines exactly the same, been like it for a few weeks now.
I contacted HTC about it and they say they are currently working on a solution for it.
Maybe worth letting them know you have problems.

Mines exactly the same, used to tell me the village I was in also, now it just tells me the County.
i also had this problem along with another defect and sent the phone to htc. they replaced the motherboard and all has been great since.
so i would contact htc and see what they say????
FIX!
This is translated from dutch filesystem:
settings-menu-more-connectivity-connections-edit existing connection-edit-next- Now your in the Accesspoint configuration. Delete the access point name (in my case portalmmm.nl; KPN Hi Netherlands) so now this field is blank- next-finish. Now you have to restart your Leo and voila Now your weather is updating without any problems. When I had the weather-not-updating problem, i did this and it instantly updated again and never had problems with it ever since. I think this also works with other providers. Try it out!
does not work in Serbia - Telenor
Had the same problem, weather would not update. After switching off "manila" in "setings"--> "more" -->"today screen" and back on again, everything updates as usual.
