HTC Home Weather Problem

I have HTC Home on my wing, and for some reason it like never updates on the screen. It's always saying attempting to download data. Once in a while it will actually update and display the weather. I have the HTC weather option enabled in S2U2 and it seems to display there just fine. I also have my Data connection set to always on with Schap's Advanced Config.
Help me please

Do you have a true data plan or are you using a proxy? If you are using the proxy that is your problem. A proxy connection for some reason will not read the xml data properely and you get the continuous attempting to update data.

i have the unlimited dataplan, no proxy

Hmmmmm it should work for you, which version of the plugin are you using? You might wanna use HTC Home 2.1 with the n2a cab.

[SOLVED] "My Location" weather only works via WIFI

Is there any reason why I can only update my location when connected through WIFI? Is there a workaround?
[Solved]
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902752&postcount=11

There's already a lot of discussion on the "my location" feature.
You should think yourself lucky - mine's NEVER worked, over 2G, 3G, HSDPA or WiFi. It simply doesn't work for me.

Mine was working fine over all mediums until I installed "Touch X Disconnect data after E-mail check" tweak. Now, even after uninstalling it, I still cannot update either email or weather except over WIFI! I think a hardreset is in order here...

I previously had the Touch HD and thought this problem was just a compatibilty issue from using a LEO rom.

Same here mate. I'm very patiently waiting for a workround or fix for this issue. I've never even seen it working! lol

mine works fine anywhere except my home town, that's even more of a kick in the pants as far as i'm concerned. On O2 in the SW. Rivets

Shouldnt this be working :S?

I am in the US on ATT can only use edge, works all the time on edge and wifi, in fact I am amazed how fast it works

any updates on a possible fix for this? Has anyone tried something that worked?
I'm using 2.08 radio with miri 7.0 and I still can't get my location to work over 3g or gprs. It works fine over wifi.

Still broken with CleanEX 0.53 and 2.09 radio

Comm Manager (wireless controls on settings tab) -> Menu -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy settings -> untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Try updating from the weather tab. Should work after that.

From my experience, it's also a hit and a miss based on location, rather than settings. I can update weather at my work (about 40 miles from home) no problem, over wifi, 3g etc. I can add a location near my home town, and update that no problem at all, over any connection, however when I am home, I am unable to update my location weather.
I think it must be an issue with location, the town I live in is quite small, but the place I work, is a lot larger.

Works to a fashion!
Mine seems to work ok, but when I am in some parts of Derby (East Mids), it says I am in Southall!! Same on my Old Man's Vodafone HD2.
Mine: 1.43 Stock o2 ROM
Pops: 1.66 Vodafone Updated ROM

I've been searching for this solution to update weather via wifi! But for your solution, i have unticked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
but how to update weather tab? When i go "menu" --> "Weather Settings" --> tick "Download data automatically" and it prompted me, i will be extra charge from internet service provider. and that will switch on my data connection again... headache~~

How to stop Facebook to automatically open a 3G connection?

How to stop Facebook app to automatically open a 3G connection even when the WiFi connection is also ON?

you don't need anything. just read the manual

You could use the application "Data Controller", i have it installed cause this annoyed me aswell.
Data controller allows you to shut down any non-wifi signal your phone is currently transmitting (like the data link & wap etc.)

Thank you for the hint, but searching for it I found a new 'version' updated to work with Manila Windows Phone, called Manila Dial-up Enabler/Disabler.
Now what I do need, it is to find a way to use facebook through wifi/wlan ..

Has anybody already discovered how to have facebook using only wifi or activesync connections?

I will Copy/Paste the steps since new users cant post links
Prevent your phone from using the data connection when you want to ensure that it will never connect to the Internet via GPRS/3G.
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
1-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Add a new modem connection.
2-Enter Offline as the name of the connection.
3-In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line (GPRS), and then tap Next.
4-Enter Offline as the access point and then tap Next.
5-Tap Finish.
6-Tap Manage existing connections and then select Offline.
7-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Restoring the data connection:
1-On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Wireless controls.
2-Tap Menu > Connections and then tap Manage existing connections.
3-Tap the name of your mobile operator's data connection.
4-Press BACK and then tap Done.
Hope this will help

[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.

[Q] Can't scroll to settings in WiFi Router app

Hello.
Subject
This is regarding the application "WiFi Router for Pocket PC".
It installs fine for me but doesn't seem to broadcast.
Running XV6850 HTC Touch Pro phone. Windows mobile 6.1.
Scrolling
There are threads about scrolling down and changing the setting for
"Internet Connection - Data Network Connect". Unfortunately there also seem to be a lot of us with HTC Touch phones that cannot scroll. Apparently there are differences with the different HTC Touch phones.
Ini or settings file?
If we are unable to scroll down, how about changing settings directly in some config file?
I'd be happy to change the setting directly if someone can provide documentation as to where the settings live and what they mean.
Am I connecting at all?
When I start the app, I get a message "Connecting Data Network Connect" and a spinner. That does that constantly. Is that a correct started state? Or should it go to some other message like "Connected"? Maybe something else in that unscrollable area?
Thanks,
Ed
