I was wondering if there was a weather app that you can use if you don't have a internet plan.
spb weather. you can update through wifi.

Hello. Here is a different quesion for the Weather application. Is it possible to configure to only update when connected to Wifi. Or is there a better program out there that will do this. I do not have a data plan with my service so don't want to occur additional charges. Thanks.
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.
Hi guys!
Already asked in other sub-forum, but no reply there, hopefully more luck here.
Since GPRS and other mobile internet is expense in Belgium, isn't there an application that loads the weather report for the next week, everytime you sync your Touch Dual (or whatever HTC...) to your PC/Laptop. That way, you wouldn't have to use GPRS to get weather reports.
In my case it would drastically lower my gprs cost(since I sync every day!), and still have the eye candy of all those fancy apps you guys made here!
Grtz & thx very much!
in my country gprs is also so expensive..so I need it too..anyone can help us?
try this
1-turn on flight mode
2-sync your phone
3-tap update on weather app you use
Doesn't it work to turn on wifi (if your phone has it) and instead of using GPRS, it loads the data over the wifi? I know I've done this with Google Maps, and many other programs since I don't have a data plan.
Spb Weather does exactly what you want.
In the options you can specify to sync when docked and otherwise to sync only manually.
I'm using it since a while and had no sync through GPRS till now.
Don't know where it is getting it's info from or how, but i have just put Mobile Shell on a Himalaya, XDA II, and put a pay-as-you-go SIM in it with no credit.
Left it for a while after telling the weather bit where i am and lo and behold the weather forecast has updated.

...If you heavily use the net on your phone, then maybe the full plan would be best for you, but if you are only a lite user, the 5.99 is much more practical for e-mail, weather, etc.

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.
I know how to make a schedule for wi-fi to connect at a certain time when im always home. Is it possible to get spb mobile shell to update the weather forecast when the phone is connected to wi-fi?
