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.

Hi,
I have successfully installed SPB weather; I have used weather.com to add cities in the UK and even tried another template for BBC weather. I cannot get it to d/l the weather to display on the home screen. All it says is 'Weather data not available'.
Under my sync settings I have it set to update when docked update after city added and automatic update every hour. No joy. The stats show no gprs usage either. Manual seems a waste of time as I cannot figure out how to manually sync it.
I have asked spb but await a response from them.
Can anyone help???
Ta.

Version 1.5 beta works for me but only with a connection without proxy!
With proxy no works!
And don't install SPBWeather on your SD Card or it won't work.

Did on mine?
I am using v1.5 and on SD card and it is orking fine but update only manualy and work fine.
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?
I've tried to get updates by being Connected to activesync and Via GPRS and it never downloads. What Could I be missing?

Activating WiFi -> launching QuickGPS -> Download...
I'm having the same problem and I am connected either by Wifi, Active Sync (WMDC6.1) or GPRS and still get the message "Connection Failed, Please try again later". I know ive got a web connection, cos i can access the web! I've raised call wiv HTC & will post back any reply I get from them but if anyone has any bright ideas. I know there is a manual workaround but would rather get to root cause.
If you're in WM5 you have to deactivate the advanced connexion functionnality (maybe not the exact name, I have a french rom). How to do it: go in settings --> tab "connexions" --> usb to PC --> deactivate the option shown
It worked for me, I couldn't access the net via activesync, now I can.
If WM6 I don't know, maybe the same.
Is it a matter of proxy settings ?
I have the same problem in my office. The web surf works but neither the weather update nor the QuickGPS update. Whereas at home everything is fine. The proxy settings made by the administrator filter the acces to the update.
quite some time ago i somewhere found this to help (seems to be win xp prob):
lsp value to be added to xp registry!
AFAIK on WM5 it is not possible to update HTC Weather (as part of HTCHome) via GPRS. On WM6 this is said to be working via GPRS. On WM5 update only works via AS or WiFi.
Is there someone that is able to hack the (WM5) HTCHome.dll once more in order to make the weather update on WM5 via GPRS also?
See N2A's weather fixes thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
I have already done this hack edsub... on the patched .dll I've attached. Still, no GPRS updating...
did you set connection in advanced to my isp ?
my htchome on wm5 always used gprs
I have set 'My ISP' as the active 'network' in advanced.
I get a working GPRS (internet) connecion via other s/w (IE, Newsbreak) using this setting.
It's just HTC Home weather that won't update.
@Rudegar: Can you post the version (cab or dll) that youre using and that works on WM5?
Got it!!
AKU3.3 ROM (ie WM5SEr5) did the trick
Hi all,
I have the X1i on Vodafone, standard ROM, with the latest update via the SE update manager.
Windows Live is installed by default and all features, the email, contacts, messenger work fine via 3g/gprs (not wifi - but thats another thread!)
however - as soon as i install TomTom 7, (TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab is the version I have) I can't connect at all to any Live services, all I get is the error message saying
"there's a connectivity problem. make sure you are in an area with good reception and try again"
Even if i uninstall TomTom - windows live still refuses to work, I had to do a hard reset to get it working again
even though i have full reception - is anyone having similar issues?
I'm having exactly the same problem after i installed tomtom 7! it happend to me a couple of months ago and the only way i managed to get it workin again was to hard rest, however last time it happend i didnt have tomtom7 installed. i'm hoping there is a way to sort this out as i have just got my X1 exactly how i want it and dont fancy a hard reset and having to do it all again! As last time there was no relation to tomtom 7 maybe theres some settings somewhere that has been changed during the installation?
Anyone have any ideas??

Installing the 7.45 version caused problems with my phone. The 7.915 is working great!
Check your Settings-->Connection-->Connections-->Advanced, Select Networks button.
I've found that Windows Live ignores the connection used for "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:"
WL seems to be hardcoded to use the default connection group "My ISP".
Irritatingly "My ISP" connection setting group doesn't have a tab for "proxy", so you can't use it for corporate networks, or GPRS networks which need a proxy server
The only way I got it to work was to set "My ISP" to contain GPRS modem connection settings (w/o proxy), and to set the proxy settings under "My Work Network".
I then started to use BeeJive IM - NO connection problems, and you can use it with multiple chat channels e.g. GMail Chat, MSN, etc.
