i dont see how he uses the 5.99 plan for email or weather.
the only weather program(actually plugin) is htc home. and thats with the htc home proxy patch
how can i use my 5.99 plan to check weather?(on manilla themes, miniColour theme, etc.)
well, one guesses that he uses HTC home weather plugin.
My guess is that other plugins/programs will have to be specifically modified like the HTC home proxy patch to do the same.

damn cuz im really liking this miniColour theme(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413776) but no weather. it updates with mortscript and yahoo weather so im pretty sure it cant be modified like the proxy patch
do you know what the proxy patch does and how it works? If it's simply setting a proxy, i see no reason why one can't be set for your theme.
Is it possible to set a sort of a global proxy through which ALL outgoing gprs connections are sent? THAT would be the answer to your problem.
its under htc home registry and a new htc home.dll
but ill see if i can find a universal proxy somewhere.
oh maybe ask some one with a dash and a wing and see if they both have the dash 5.99 full internet hack.
If you would like to check the weather, just open opera mini and navigate to m.weather.com.
Is that what you're looking for?

i think they wanted the full integration of the weather section on the htc home plugin. i had the 5.99 plan for a day or two, but no instant messenger programs worked, no built-in weather (on spb mobile shell, htc home plugin, etc) worked seamlessly, and email didnt work for me. People said that the tzones hack wasnt noticeably different in speed than the total internet add on, but i can notice it. the total add on is MUCH faster and you get full capability with email, weather, IM, and more.
I have the 5.99 internet plan on my Wing. Weather for the HTC Home plugin was always hit and miss. I've heard you can open a browser, and when it's connected to the internet you can minimize and check the HTC Home weather and it works. Seems like too much just to get the weather. I currently check weather using the Spb Menu 2.1 and it updates weather fine, I can browse using Opera no problem. E-mail has to be configured using a different connection without T-Mobile's proxy added (at least that's how it worked for me). Just an FYI tho, don't know if it's this way with other devices, but any time I made any changes to the connections (T-Mobile Data, T-Mobile MMS) the changes don't take effect til you soft reset. Best way I've found is just use the Network Wizard in Connections to get internet set up on the device. Other than that, even with the HTC Home proxy fix, I still couldn't get it to work reliably.

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

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?
Are there any that update? I understand http cripples htc home weather.
Whats a good alternative?

I've used GPRS for HTC Home weather, no problems. I've als used SPB Mobile Shell 2.0, again. No Problems.
o2? really? i thought because they still run wap or somthing, and it needs wsp:// instead of http..
i cant update through htc weather or spb mobile shell using bbc.co.uk as the update source, but i can get the report by going to wsp://bbc.co.uk/weather in IE.
gahh.
so as far as you know, gprs on o2 should work for these applications?
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.
the weather part of the htc home plugin never retrieves info for me. I even try different cities. always fails to retrieve data. is it because im using the 5.99 tzones proxy setup for the internet? if that's not the problem then does anyone have a solution to this problem im having?
Wich ROM are you using?
If we know that we could help you further.
If your using the standard ROM, here is the Weatherpatched version of HTC Home Screen

man, I have ttrans 4.0 biggy rom and I have it working with the proxy myself. it took a while and others said they had success by just entering there info in HTC home customizer that they loaded on there phone. I had to go to N2A's website and follow the step he outlined with a registry hack and a patched home plugin. google (N2A weather patcher) and you can find the info there.
same here, i use ASERG.12.WM6.1E.WWE on a wing, just says error downloading from site
Hello,
I have the problem that my Topaz with Manila 2.5 (Sense) connects to the internet without any reason wich i can see. I have no automatic update functions runnning, but suddenly my Device connects via HSDPA.
Another Problem is, that everytime I go to the Twitter Tab (or rotate the phone in album tab), the Phone connects to HSDPA, too.
How can I disable this? I dont want to disable HSDPA in general - but I have a time-based contract...
Does anybody hasa solution for this?
the twitter tab would be the usual suspect
Either twitter, weather, push internet, push email, or email fetching..
You can use a program called Modaco No Data to disable your internet connection and enable it when you want to.
I have an other ROM now, which does not have this behavior. (But can´t find the reason for that)
For the people who have the same problems as i had: you can delete the password from you IPS-internet-connection - so the device will ask you for the password each time it tries to connect.
I would like to have a solution too, I don't have "DATA tarif" actually and this is a problem for me. I don't won't to cancel data connection because MMS or actualising of Weather (once a day)...
if u guys get a rom with the new leo dump, the data connection is fix there
