Hi guys,
I have just bought my Touch HD and I started to flash ROM's yesterday
So far I have flashed about 5 ROM's from Xda and I am currently using the Dutty R5 ROM (with manilla 2.5 from the LEO).
The ROM runs really well but for some reason I can't get the location service to work, it hasn't worked on any of the ROM's I have tried.
I have no problems accessing the net using both GPRS or WiFi but I just can't get the weather to update.
I have installed google maps and that seems to work OK so I can't see any reason why it wont update.
Is this a general problem with the Leo software or is it just me?
BTW I did a quick search around XDA and google but can't seem to find any relevant answers. If this has already been answered somewhere else I apologize.
this "my location" feature is finicky at best. best approach is to select your city for weather. if you haven't done so already, follow the steps below:
1. from the weather tab, select Menu->Add Location, type your city name in the boxand select it
2. from the weather tab, select Menu->Settings and make your automatic update and update frequency choices, then click Done.
3. from the weather tab, select "Update Now" from the left menu
4. from the home tab, tap your clock
5. from the home tab, select the city you just added on the weather tab and tap "Back"
6. when you return to the home tab, your weather should appear under the clock.
Also with me, sometimes, weather from my location doesn't update.
Now with cortez.i tip, my home screen is always updated.
thanks, man!

That's how I have gotten around it so far but it would be nice to have it work correctly.

Really simple yet I never thought of it till I was really bored at school lol
Step 1: Install Home 2
Step 2: Use File Explorer or whatever is similar to it
Step 3: Locate your "Programs File" Folder > Home2
Step 4: Load up Home
Note: It works for me and ill upload proof soon but its a simple and quick trick...
The worst that can happen is a freeze which has not happened to me yet...
Once you load it up you cant exit though unless you have a community account on
pointui.com and download something with "Close PointUI or Quit PointUI"

According to http://www.google.com/mobile/buzz/ , we should have
buzz.google.com
Buzz Layer on Google Maps for mobile
Buzz on a Place Page
Voice shortcuts
Buzz icon shortcuts
Where are they?
Buzz.google.com is fine, I just got the Maps layer from cyanogenmod 5 stable, I don't know what that Place Page is, voice shortcut is fine since I installed cyanogenmod 5 stable, and I don't know how to get the icon shortcuts.
How are we supposed to get all the features? How about people on stock ROMs?
For the icon shortcut, bookmark the buzz.google page, then go to your home screen, long press > Shortcuts > Bookmark > Select the Buzz bookmark
You'll then get this:

Weird, when I made the Buzz shortcut, I get the default bookmark icon. I wish mine had the cool Buzz icon like yours!
You need to have already gone to that webpage at least once and let the page completely load before making the shortcut.
Heck, I tried making a shortcut to Google.com (my homepage), and it was their blue G icon.
Anyone else not getting emailed Buzz updates? When I started using Buzz a couple days ago, it would e-mail my gmail account when someone would reply to a thread that I started, or one I was posting in. Now nothing. No more emails, I have to go online and check manually with the phone or gmail on my PC. Tried looking for a setting to change it, cant find anything.
lol at my name on top.
Was asking about EQ settings.
If they get it right , as good as they did on PPC. It will be a massive step forward for Android.

Try the ShootMe screen capture app from the Market
I'm wondering why we should manually make the bookmark shortcut while it's automated on iPhone. A message will popup on the iPhone and ask if you want to make a shortcut on the springboard (iPhone desktop).
hi im new to XDA and my hd2, however my weather location is saying "London" on my home page, I actually live in Warrington which is 200+ miles away , is this something ive done ??
just go into menu and manually add yours and any other location you want.easy......
I have done that, added both st helens and warrington, even gone as far as deleting all the other location's, yet i cant delete London , and it still shows on my "home page"
Do a little search for "disable location" on here, you'll see that it reports wrong current location for many people, who thus disable it.
Heres the thing that you have to do.
First add your location at the weather tab.
then go back to the main menu.
then click on the big clock and switch it to your location.
hope this helped.
Thanks Romeo, Worked a treat,
Does anyone else have a problem with the factory installed htc weather/home screen clock widget not updating itself? There is an option to click for it to update automatically, but it will not stay checked.
Anyone else have this problem or just me?
Thanks
What is your update interval? Right below the "auto update" is the choice for sync interval.
I really like the Sense weather, but my big problem with it is in my city, it is not available when I search it to 'add'. However, when it knows New Port Richey when I'm in my house. So why can't I add the city otherwise? But I like the interface.
I try to set mine up to update every hour. But once I navigate away from the settings page and go back to it, the check is gone again. It won't stay checked.
I also have the problem, it will know my location, but I can't really add my city. I will put a city or zip, and it will just say city not found. It works for other cities though.
Nevermind, i figured it out. You were right about the sync in account/sync. I was trying to set it up under the actual widget settings, not the phone settings.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.
I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...
Its working for me even on touchwiz..
