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.

HTC Home Weather + o2 surf+email-flat
Hi,
anybody managed to get HTC Home Weather-Plugin to update via o2 surf+email-pack?
I can't get the weather update working with the proxy I have to use...otherwise I'ld have to pay for the traffic.
plz help!
Anyone know offhand how to get the weather to display in Fahrenheit and not Celsius? Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, I found it. On the City Select screen, there's a menu button with Options.
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?
Hi all,
Ok, let me be stright forward. Is there any methods to automaticly disconnect GPRS connection AFTER certain datas being downloaded into our PPC?
Let's say that I use Opera Mobile software to surf the internet via my PDA, and after my browser finished opening and downloading a page, I want the GPRS connection be disconnected. Manually I tap the "G" icon on topbar and tap disconnect option. Now, what if I want to set it automaticly, is there any possibilities???
Sorry for the bad english!
Best Regard,

Daniel Herrero BandSwitch v 2.4.3
Just Google it. I think it's perfect.
There is also option in Schaps Advanced Configuration v2.1.0.0
in connections tab
Can't google Daniel Herrero BandSwitch v 2.4.3. Google show me 2 vietnamese page, with no link...
Let's try Schaps'
Here you go.....Works great
GB-soft tweak for wm5 (works also in wm6 and up)

Actually the above will only disconnect after the app is closed....Done using opera and you close it then it will automatically disconnect. May not be what you are looking for exactly
I have T-Mobile Wing with a T-Zone plan. Setting the proxy of T-Mobile Data connection to 216.155.165.50:8080 allows most of the important apps to connect to the Internet including Google Map, Opera Mini, Media Player, etc. However, few programs like the Weather Watcher still can only download weather data from the Wifi or USB ActiveSync connection and not via the T-Mobile Data connection. Just wonder about the reason and if there is any remedy on the phone. Thanks for any hint.
I had the same problem, but the cab in this thread corrected the issue.

Thanks for your hint. I already applied the CAB and HT Weather works. However, I am using a really nice application call Weather Watcher by Mike Singer and it can not get the weather data through T-Zone proxy, only through Wifi or ActiveSync. Maybe it does need a patch like the HTC Weather patch.
Sorry about the misunderstanding and thinking you was talking about HTC weather. I don't use that particular program as I like SPB weather better but noticed if adding my city which isn't in their data base by zip code-it won't connect either. Though if using the closest city to me in their data base I don't have any issue connecting via proxy.
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....

Try unchecking the automatic update box in settings. Perhaps if it only down loads manualy you can still use you internet.
Hello, I have a HTC touch diamond 2 with stock rom manila 2.1. I have no internet tariff so the update option in the weather tab is no option for me.
It would be nice to connect the device via usb or bt to activesync and then manila would update at every connection automatically.
Has somebody an idea?
Use WiFi and the update
