Uk weather towns ?

Is there any weather app that will focus on UK towns rather than just london ? Is there no app that can use the data from say yahoo weather ?

WeatherPanel can do this.
Just tried to search Rugby, UK get location code UKXX1252.
Settings-> Cities-> Add New-> Search For: ...

I use pocket weather and it works for any UK town just need to get the code off of the weather channel and add it in.

Search for your town, and it'll appear in the URL when the page loads.

Top stuff. All sorted.
Cheers all.

I use SPB Weather - there's a 'plugin' that allows you to use the BBC's weather forecast (most local towns in the UK) ...

Changing the location for the weather

Has anyone figured out how to change the weather location reported in the HTC plugin. I live in an area not listed in the initial setup (Sacramento, CA) and I found a few registry entries to change, but it did not seem to change the display. In fact, I think I might have broke it!!

I somehow got it to work the second time i tried it. I first reset it back using the interface, then edited the registry and added my city. Works great.

Could you explain exactly the modification ?
Thanks.

You can find the registry entry here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
HTC
HTCHome
Weather
Settings
You need to change the Location name and Location Code keys to match the format found on Accuweather.com for your City.
Press OK and save changes.
Backup your Registry first just incase.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

is it possible to "REPROGRAM" the "weather icon" on the htc today screen ??? i would like to launch another program instead...thank you

format
<city name="Tampa, US" locationcode="NAM|US|FL|TAMPA|33601"/>
best i can tell the above is the correct syntax for getting cities in the list but aside from the above city and a couple of MAJOR cities i cannot get this to work on any smaller cities or towns. anyone come up with anything else?

It wont work for me either :0( - after the change it wont download?

If it's possible, anyone could do a tutorial for the weather change screen ?
Sorry for my bad english....
Many thanks.

Works a treat, thanks

Well, it works like a charm for me. Happy to see that you can actually change the city name too (mine is now Amersfoort, without the NL).

Not all the locations ( supported by the service ) work with the HTC server side plugin

Poor engineering

If this is true, HTC deserve one serious slap around their wrists...

I'm unable to change my weather city to Holiday, FL 34691 myself...tried a couple different variations, but it's just not holding.
So, I'm wondering...there are a FEW bigger US cities not included in this AccuWeather plugin app that HTC is using - when the phones are officialy released in N. America in the (hopefully) near future, will these cities be added as supported options? I mean, no Denver? Tampa?...but St. Petersburg...!?!?

Denver works fine for me. I was upset I couldn't get more specific and use Boulder or Superior though.

oh, I didn't try adding Denver, I was just looking at the included list of cities.

Could someone point me in the right direction for changing the weather - i cannot find the file on my touch to change the details. I followed the lead posted earlier but can't for the life of me find the appropraite file to change.

Changing Weather city
Hi all
Quite simple to change the defined weather cities. Just download a registry editor like Mobile Registry Editor (http://www.breaksoft.com/Download/MRE/MobileRegistryEditor.zip) which allows you to edit the registry from your PC using ActiveSync. Then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings
And change the Keys Location and LoctionCode to the new city. To know the city code find it on http://www.accuweather.com/.
Cheers

you could always move to a city that is listed, this would resolve the problem....

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.

spb advice needed.......

yeah i have that mate, even after updating the database its not listed. i dont live in a city, just a small town in the uk. i was hoping i'd be able to use the same kind of program sense uses for the weather, that just seems to register where ever i am, including my own town. any more ideas bud...?

well then, I'm affraid you won't be able to do so with SPB Weather. Maybe you can locate your town by GPS data though. but I guess this option will show you the nearest listed town.
Then you will need a diferent app to watch weather for your town...

Did you think that you might find your answer at the SPB forums?

[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.

Thank u a lot, working great!!!
