I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.
If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.
If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.
Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.
Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?
Thanks!
Hi
can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?
One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..
Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..
I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..

On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
OMG that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"
After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.
Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?
Thanks!

hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!
Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.
After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.
Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it

So I tried installing "WeatherDataBaseEditor" 1.1 and 1.2 and kept getting error messages. SO I deleted them and found another CAb file that did the same thing (sorry can't remeber the name of it and I can no longer seem to find it listed here).
Anyways, every time I edited a city with that program it came up with an error before completing the deletion (or edit). This seemed like a lot of hassle, so I decided to delete that app as well.
NOW, TF3D Weather doesn't work anymore. When I select the Weather tab, I get the following...
- "Tap Here to Launch TouchFlo", then "Launching TouchFlo 3D", then a second or two it goes to the Home page.
Any idea why this is happening??
And more importantly, how do I fix it to get my TF3D Weather to return???
Thanks

Hi all,
I have an issue on a nearly brand new Hero (Orange FR).
Each time I reach the weather page (the standard big one) the following message appears:
"Sorry! The application TouchFlo (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
I have to click on "Force close" to relaunch the touchFLO layer.
I reseted the phone: same issue.
I reinstalled the Orange ROM located on the HTC website (RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver): same issue.
Any idea?
Thank you for your help.
Gilles
thats strange.
many people had this issue when there was a problem with PEEP not working correctly after some API changes from Twitter.
But then Peep was fixed and the error message went away.
So if you deactivate the weather widget you dont have any issues?
Thank you for your answer.
If I remove the HTC weather widget (the big one) from the page the TouchFLO doesn't crash anymore.
More weired, if, instead of the big weather widget, I install on the page four medium ones, the issue doesn't appear neither.
Therefore my conclusion is: I have a problem with the "full page" HTC weather widget.
To be more precise, the outage occurs when the widget starts to update the weather.
Very very strange...
Not sure if this will help, but probably worth a go. My Hero was crashing several times a day, I was missing calls because it would crash as soon as it prepared itself to recieve an incoming call. Texts would disappear into a black hole while typing them and receiving them. TouchFlo would close down for no reason and many other apps were crashing every time I used them.
The problem seems to be my SD card though, I've booted into Android System Recovery and chose the option "repair ext filesystems". It's not crashed since.

Gilles, I have the same issue. I think it appears the first time when i installed ans uninstalled the Pandahome app. I don't know if it can help !!
At first I tried a hard reset. Still the weather widget not working. Then I downloaded the official Rom from HTC and installed it. So, a clean machine, nothing extra installed. Still the weather widget not working and TouchFlo stopping????

could be a h/w problem with the radio or somthing simlar
I've had problems with Open Home crashing on me and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Weather Widget or similar app.
I have also taken out Panda Home now and may just try a different clock too and see how it goes on Open Home.
My HTC Sense has crashed today which never did, so must be something to do with a replacement home and maybe another app.

Installed rhe newest radio but the problem is still there. Very strange is when I turn of the automatic location function and put in another city it works?? Than putting in my hometown, 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, is also works. But when I put on the automatic location and it locates s'-Hertogenbosch on the homescreen, ans I go to the weatherwidget it crashes again. So, is has to do something with the name of my hometown.
I'm suddenly having this same problem, on a non-rooted Hero.
I have some fundamental confusion because, based on a battery-life-extender sticky thread at AndroidForums, the information included that the default HTC SenseUI flipclock with weather was a battery drainer due to constant auto-refreshing of weather info. Their recommendation was to INSTEAD use an alternate FlipClock widget from Android Market ... one that I believe may have been created here at XDA -- because it had tons of customization for every aspect of the flip clock -- with about 25 different clock skins, and 15 or so weather icon skin-sets.
It had been working just beautifully for a week or so, and then I cannot recall what it is I did, but it was I believe, after installing a new app from Market that upon some eventual action, i got that selector pop-up that says "use Home, TouchFLO, or (something else)" and the checkoff box "always use this selection".
I don't recall what I pressed but ever since that I have had this problem.
I had, prior to this problem, saved off "Scene" settings which i hope will protect and restore my 7 screens to how I had them, because like everyone I spent a long time getting it like i liked it, having experiemnted with multiple apps and widgets to find my own ideal layout and selections of apps/widgets.
What troubleshooting steps can you recommend? thank you

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks
Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.
And it works very well too
AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.
Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.
why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys
I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.
Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.
My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks
My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!
I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?
Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.
You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/editor/separator.gif
I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp
Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.
Hello all,
I have been searching for hours on this one, but I really can't find the problem. Ik read manuals, searched through topics but it doesn't seem to work. Now here's my problem:
At first, the weather was nicely updating at every location I was, and that was also showed in the today screen after the clock. Now, for some unclear reason, it always shows "Antwerp" in the start screen. When I go to the weather menu, I can update the current location, but it doesn't show that location in my home screen. This is really annoying me!
Anyone has an idea of what I am doing wrong?
thanks in advance!
greetz
Same problem here, try disable proxy in connections.
hello,
I found it, in my case it was really stupid... When you go to clock menu you can add places. There I selected Antwerp, so that is automatically the location being showed...
Just changed it to my location and everything works great.
grtz
Thank You.

Lol it keeps showing my location as neals green even though im no where near!! Anyone got a fix? Id like to update itself so it changes if i leave birmingham but i dont want it saying neals green!
Weather update on the Touch FLO screen shows up for a wrong city (wrong country, for that matter) as opposed to that in the Weather Tab - which displays correct info. Anybody knows why that's happening ?
Opposite here - when i hit Tab to Update on the Touch Flo screen it ask if i want it to use Location Settings, and if i say yes it gives my town. But my town is not in the list in Weather Tab, i used a program to put it in and it says "cant update weather for selected city"

What does this do my friend, please explain Will this let me update for a city which is not in the list or only in Home Tab to update?
EDIT: for me it didnt do the job, in weather tab again "cant update weather for selected city" and on home screen it was my town and when i put this one on my phone it went in London.
facing the same problem. The weather app has a different city set but the home screen shows weather for another city :| The only solution is to have just one city in the widget.
Thanks Buddy.
It worked on the second attempt. Had to reboot after installing.

try on htc's support page they have an update for that bug:

You have to update only in the weather tab not on the home tab and after 30 seconds it will update automatically also in the home tab with the correct city from the weather tab.

But did you manage to put a city thats not in the list, or you use sities which are already in the list?
I think I jumped the gun.
The problem is not resolved yet. The Home screen keep updating itself to 'Guangzhou' in China, no matter how many times I reset it in registry.
It simply doesn't want to take my city from Weather tab.
Guys...no matter what I do, the Home screen weather switches back to 'Guangzhou'. I cleared reg keys to make my home city appear but as soon as I click on Update Now, it switches back to this city in China.
I see an udpate on the htc site. It seems to be ROM update utility and I am afraid, it will wipe the data from phone.
Any other suggestions....please post.

Had same problem, but solved (well sort of)
Had the same problem and apparently the GPS location was messing up my weather update. Installed HTC rom and now its works ok. My home city do not appear on the list, but the location is telling the weather update software the name of my home city (this of course changes if I update when in another city) How it xactly works, i donno.
Every single IP has it's own information going with it ... when u update the weather maybe the site reads that info and reads that the ISP is in other town , so it shows u the other town's weather forecast
How do I install the file mentioned in Post # 4? Step by step, please, as I'm a newbie. Cheers.
try fidling with the localisation options (switch off or on?)
the weather automatically detect where you are based on GSM network info.
go to you setting, locations and switch off HTC location service.
maybe this helps.
