HTC Home Plugin: Weather (HELP!)

Hi everyone, I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to this...
I'm using the HTC Home plugin which is great but I was wondering which internet connection the Weather tab is using to get updates on the weather...It refreshes the weather information when my wireless is turned off...is it going through gprs, tzones? I cant find any information on how to control how frequently it updates the weather information...is there a way to only limit it to wifi...i dont want to rack up a huge data bill....any help would be much appreciated!!!

Auto update
Click on the name of your city. Then go to "menu" at the bottom of the page. Click "weather options". Uncheck "download data automatically". Now you can manually update when you have wi-fi.
Or you could install and older version of HTC home. There is a glitch in the weather tab and it can't update through GPRS at all.

[HELP] HD Tweak - Data Not Auto Disconnecting (Orange)

Hay all,
I downloaded the HDTweak last night an set it up to disconnect from a data connection after 1 min.
A mate sent me a picture message which uses Orange Internet / Orange MMS.
Sure enough after 1 mine after it had been recieved an MMS it dissconnected.
But later in the evening I got another MMS I checked an it hadn't disconnected & had been on for 45 mins!
Basic:
1. Is there a better way for this to DEFO disconnect after recieveing an MMS?
2. If left open are there any charges?
3. I've noticed it go from G to H to E during / after it has recieved an MMS would the
change affect it auto disconnetion?
I'm quite new to all this an havin't done any ROM-ing an don't really want to just yet.
Many Thanks

I too am having a similar problem (and new to Win Mobile). I'm on the stock Orange phone, ROM version 1.19.61.1 WWE.
If I use Opera or Email, once I close the application (and I'm making sure its closed and not in background). The data connection stays active (confirmed by checking Comm Manager).
I installed HDTweak and set disconnect to 1 minute, however after leaving it for 30mins the connection was still there.
For such an advanced phone, there must be a way to disconnect the data connection when the applications using it have shutdown?

The data connection will only disconnect if its not being used.
Although u maynot think its being used, apps like Quick GPS, RSS Hub, Manila Weather, Manila Stock have an auto upate option.
If you check the options for these apps and make sure they aint set to auto update then that might help solve the prob.

Personally I use 'No Data' software which gives you the option to 'toggle' either Internet, MMS and WAP on or off.
I mostly surf via wifi and update weather, emails, stock etc via wifi so its a handy piece of software to have as I have Internet & WAP disabled constantly so phone only uses wifi connection I have active.
If you want to use Orange Internet via data connection (GPRS etc) you can 'toggle' internet On, then once you have finished using it, toggle it Off again

Open each app i.e. QuickGPS then click on Menu > Options > and untick 'Auto download when data expires'
For weather & stock tabs, click on each then menu > settings > and make sure auto download is unticked
Follow same procedure for other apps installed

There is a very easy alternative that I use always....Press the end call button once (vibrates once) that is pre assigned to end data connection.
You should see the icon change form 3G/HSPDA to the earth logo and hey presto all offline.

[SOLVED] "My Location" weather only works via WIFI

Is there any reason why I can only update my location when connected through WIFI? Is there a workaround?
[Solved]
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902752&postcount=11

There's already a lot of discussion on the "my location" feature.
You should think yourself lucky - mine's NEVER worked, over 2G, 3G, HSDPA or WiFi. It simply doesn't work for me.

Mine was working fine over all mediums until I installed "Touch X Disconnect data after E-mail check" tweak. Now, even after uninstalling it, I still cannot update either email or weather except over WIFI! I think a hardreset is in order here...

I previously had the Touch HD and thought this problem was just a compatibilty issue from using a LEO rom.

Same here mate. I'm very patiently waiting for a workround or fix for this issue. I've never even seen it working! lol

mine works fine anywhere except my home town, that's even more of a kick in the pants as far as i'm concerned. On O2 in the SW. Rivets

Shouldnt this be working :S?

I am in the US on ATT can only use edge, works all the time on edge and wifi, in fact I am amazed how fast it works

any updates on a possible fix for this? Has anyone tried something that worked?
I'm using 2.08 radio with miri 7.0 and I still can't get my location to work over 3g or gprs. It works fine over wifi.

Still broken with CleanEX 0.53 and 2.09 radio

Comm Manager (wireless controls on settings tab) -> Menu -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy settings -> untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Try updating from the weather tab. Should work after that.

From my experience, it's also a hit and a miss based on location, rather than settings. I can update weather at my work (about 40 miles from home) no problem, over wifi, 3g etc. I can add a location near my home town, and update that no problem at all, over any connection, however when I am home, I am unable to update my location weather.
I think it must be an issue with location, the town I live in is quite small, but the place I work, is a lot larger.

Works to a fashion!
Mine seems to work ok, but when I am in some parts of Derby (East Mids), it says I am in Southall!! Same on my Old Man's Vodafone HD2.
Mine: 1.43 Stock o2 ROM
Pops: 1.66 Vodafone Updated ROM

I've been searching for this solution to update weather via wifi! But for your solution, i have unticked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
but how to update weather tab? When i go "menu" --> "Weather Settings" --> tick "Download data automatically" and it prompted me, i will be extra charge from internet service provider. and that will switch on my data connection again... headache~~

[Q] Weather Settings Problem

Hi,
I'm facing some strange problem while updating the weather information through Wifi and EDGE (GPRS).
When I try to update the current weather status through Wifi, a strange city (say X) gets added into my city list as "My Location". So by default, I get to see weather for that city and not for the city where I live (say Y).
Also I could not remove this city (X) from the City list as it does not show up in the list.
But if try to update weather information using EDGE, I can see current weather condition 2 times for my city. The strange city (X) gets renamed to my City (Y).
Has anyone encountered such a problem?
Any help available to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
- Abhijeet

As far as I understand it, the default location (the first one in the list) is always automatically updated via the location service - based on the location of the WiFi hotspot or gsm tower (when connected using EDGE).
It seems that in your case the location service is not able to determine your location correctly when connected via WiFi.
If you wish, you can add another locations, but it seems that the default one cannot be deleted or changed. You could, however, disable the location service in Settings | Location.
