Location Based Information - Cell Lookup

I have a hermes and wasnt to use PhoneAlarm to switch profiles depending on the cell that I am in.
I have got the app working but no cell information is coming up.
I did read somewhere that you have to change a couple of registry values to "de-restrict" the phone to allow this information to work.
Any ideas anyone?
Please let me know of anything else I can try to get this working....
Thanks
Mark

I havent done any reg tweaks to get it working...the location system must be enabled by ticking the box, then you must go through a kind of TRAINING period where you assign the cells you travel through to different locations, home...work etc..., in the automatic profile switching part of phonealarm (the orange icon in the profiles section) thats where you say what to do when you are in a certain location (again...home...work etc).
Works a treat on my TyTN.
P.S: You must have the full purchased version for it to work.

I have the full version. I am doing the following but it isn't showing an cell information:-
Under Options goto Addon
Select Location Service
Click Setup
Nothing displayed in Time/CellID or Group
Click Edit Groups
Click Groups drop down box - Nothing listed
Click Add, doesn't do anything..
I am missing something or doing something wrong. Surely it would pick up the cell that I am currently in?
Thanks

The location based switching doesnt work unless you pay for it. But its a great program i recommend buying it

HTC Today Weather problem

I am running ttran's Open Touch 4.0 and anytime I try to download the weather info for my city, it never loads with the t-zones internet hack, but when I connect to my wireless at home, it loads right away.
Is there any config i need to alter to make it function right? Or is it just interent speed related.
Thanks

Did you download the proxy patch for the weather? If so, you need to open the internet explorer, let it load a page or 2, minimize it (just hit start>today) then click on the weather icon. It should update the weather then. It works for me. Good luck with it potna.

Hey, is there anyway I can just download the weather program without installing anything else, I have a t-mobile wing?

There are plenty of weather programs out there ..

do you think you could answer a couple of questions for me about this?
I am with tmobile on there 5.99 tmoweb plan and ia have setup the proxy.
I have installed and configured the patches but have had no success.
I have tried the forced proxy settings as well as the others but no luck yet.
my main question is about the "User-Agent" and "Url" fields. do Ihave to enter any information there or do I leave them blank?

Honestly, I set all this up using the HTC Home Customizer. I put in the cab file, set my city, opened PIE & BAM the weather was on my home screen.

Well Finally, I got it fixed. I used a combination of different peoples cures, so I don really know which on worked.
I first downloaded N2A"s patcher application and the Crimson Editor (great program btw), followed his instructions to the letter and then replaced my 0409cities file with the updated one, suddenly it was working. I added a few other cities to the file and reloaded it and it works perfectly.
thanks to all who worked on this,
as an aside, the HTC Home customizer I have doesnt have the updated cities file so I cant use that apparently.

My first experiences with touch2

Hello all,
I am a year-long htc blackstone user, flashing miri roms etc, a heavy user.
So I bought this week my wife the touch2 (mega). Now I have some issues with this one. For me these would not be that much of a problem - I am fluent with stopping data connections - but we are talking about not such a fluent user now...
I already installed the owner info patch.
Apparently we live that far in countryside, that the home page weather does not work. Google location services is configured, google maps finds our location - but weather not. No location at all, just tells that the weather data is not available.
Second thing... no hdtweak or kaisertweak for that yet? I'd like to configure the internet (gprs/3g) to deactivate automatically when not in use. This is not found in the settings anywhere. Using NoData or such is just not practical. The stopping data connection would be to save battery.
Third.. sense tabs. In the settings there is no possibility to change the order of the tabs :-O
So, the first thoughts...

touch2
I too, recieved the touch2 3 days ago. Need to sort out how to send sms in groups, like my old nokia n95 this could be done without any problems. The weather updates are costing me network charge, beware! Been searching the net for this sms software and most are not what i am looking for.. Anyone out there to help? Would reflashing the phone rom with a custom one work? As the phone is locked to t-mobile I would like to dismiss the logo start up's and the t-mobile web settings. Help anyone.. Please. Thanks You.

For the wather map to work, you must enable the location services that can be found in the settings.

needless to say, I have activated the location services.
it just must be the fact that we are living so far in the countryside.
I have on my blackstone a newer rom and manila - the weather shows perfectly our home location, a small village of 3500 inhabitants.
I wonder if that version on touch2 would work in a city.

hey guys i aint a touch 2 owner yet....
but to answer one of your questions anssibragge
there is a thread made up for touchFlo2d 2.0 themes and there is an app that has the ability to change tabs around/ disable tabs
this may work for your touch 2
its made by Twolf and i think its called ReFlush but i could be wrong
the thread is in the windows themes under dev/hacking
hope this helps.....

my location only updates when a wifi network is near and found, but it must not be connected to.. its strange somehow, i know. but if a wifi network is near, it works like a charm.

As far as i have tried, you don't even need to have a wifi network near, you just have to have wifi turned on. It's actually quite a bother!!
What i have done is disable my location (i got the cab from Dutty) and just select the city manualy. I don't move around too much so it's not a problem

hm strange, it only works for me (on different roms) if i have wifi networks around me and not, if i only activated wifi.
but doesnt matter.. its strange like it is.

MyLocation may be recovered (by design) using GSM BTS position triangulation or Wi-Fi or GPS. Looks like Manila is able to use only Wi-Fi
Please note that GoogleMaps works even if wifi is disabled (of course with come data connection for example GSM+ActiveSync).
So, if GoogleMaps can work, why Manila is not able to find MyLocation with GSM+AS?
Current behaviour makes not able to synchronize MyLocation (including my location weather) using for example a cradle connected to PC.
I hope there will be some fix for manila.

This is a well known issue with a lot of the latest builds. Unfortunately for My Location to work you need to have wifi turned on, even if you are not using it. Simply done though. Just turn on wifi but do not connect to any wifi networks then update weather using GPRS. It should now work. Then turn off wifi once you are finished

... because earlier versions of manilla doesn't have MyLocation feature
Does someone know, does that issue appear on source devices from which OS components are took (ie HD2)?

I have the same prob. updated radio but that didn't work. I tried the suggestion on the wifi and it works fine! Although I was connected to my wifi network. I think it just needs to have the wifi on.

but why does it need that wifi? can't someone fix this? ( i know i ask quite a lot)

Since our roms are took from another devices, are users of Leo experience the same issue?

I would also like to use My Location over data connection and I've already created a thread in the "Blackstone General" section ("Possible Manila My Location fix??") nobody is able to give me an answer though
I'm also interested if this behaviour also occurs on HD2

MOD EDIT - No need for 2 threads running on same issue. Thread in link above closed

MOD EDIT - Thread moved. As much as I would like to see this issue resolved, I feel it would be better suited in General forum instead of the Rom Development forum

And there's a 3rd one here.

[Q] Weather - my town not in list, how to add it there?

Hey, I would like to add my town to the list - town called Pardubice, Czech republic. I don´t want to use it only from function "my location via wifi hot spot or gsm". I would like to know how weather is there even if I am not there and without permanent internet connection..
Could somebody help me to fix this problem? Thanks for answers

Forgive me if this is an obvious reply, but have you tried going to the weather tab? And adding it by choosing the option "add location??" when you do this it becomes a fixed location on your phone. If your city is not available in the list, you could try to find something in the near vicinity of your town. On older roms, the great program of Andreas Falke weather database editor could add some new city's but with the new programmes, I don't know of any new editors that could do this.
goodluck there
Joey

You need Weather City Editor App. from JVH3. This allows you to add custom towns/locations to the HTC list. I found the App. on this site, and followed the instructions in the thread so it can't be difficult...
The App. is made for larger devices than the Mini so some of the dialogs are a bit tricky to hit, but this App. worked. Other ones I tried didn't. Plus, once you've done it, you don't need to do it again. Unless you upgrade the ROM of course.
Find the thread here: JVH3 Weather City

Thank u a lot, working great!!!
