Home page bug? - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Hi all.
I have a problem.
On my HTC home screen i have, for example, -16 C and on the weather page i have -12 for the same city and just right after my manual updating.
What's wrong?

Are you confusing reading/forecast?
Are you confusing the temperature 'now' with the readings given for the High and Low for the day?

no!
Definitively not!

This is no bug - it's normally , you have on Today MY LOCATION Weather /it is actually / and into WeatherTab on My Location is the same value BUT on your TOWN / that you has defined during Weather menu/ is value PREDICTED - and that maybe differently.
Sorry for my bad english...

Well, if you have differing 'actuals' and/or forecast temperatures between your Home Page and the Weather tab you definitely have a bug.
I've just forced an update on mine, and on both pages I have 2C as the current temperature, 4C as the expected High and 0C as the Low. There is no difference between the figures on the two pages.
Can only suggest that, somehow, the two pages are looking at different bits of data.
Sorry, can't help further.

Well , I'am living in Prague /MyLocation on Today is automatically defined as Prague/ and secondly Iĺl adjust Prague manually in Weather app./. Now temperature&weather in Today are actually values and on the PragueTab in Weather app. i see FORECAST values . Eq: on position 1 /MyLocation/ in Weater Tab are values actually for Prague , on position 2 /user defined Prague/ I' see FORECAST Values for Prague --- mostly both are DIFFERENTLY...Mine -that's normally..
P.S. - Sorry for my bad english...

Today screen items randomly arranging themselves

No matter what order i set the today screen items to appear in, they rearrange themselves in a random order! Its driving me crazy and i've tried every combination of order setting but to no avail. does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?
Its happens to me also!!!!!
I noticed that they are well arranged once you put the CALENDAR item above the middle of the screen! When I try to move the CALENDAR item below that, all items get cluttered!
This is really weird!!!!!
I guess its a bug in Windows 2003, or maybe the system doesn't like the calendar to be shown at the bottom part of screen, cause maybe they want all appointments to be shown without the need of scrolling (when alot of items are shown on the today screen)!!! maybe, i donno!! :?
i'de like to have such an option, look into the registry in the today items, theirs something called Order, its resposible of their apearance on today screen regardless to the continuty it takes less amount & puts it on top so if you have 4 8 34 22 then they will look like 4 8 22 34, so just arrange them by giving them differant values from lower to higher, please tell me if this worked

HTC Today Home plugin - temperature displayed too low?

Does anybody experience an issue with the HTC Home plugin (ported from the HTC Touch) when the temperature displayed is almost always 3-4 degrees lower than the actual? Mine seems invariably about 3 degrees lower than what Spb Pocket Weather (and my local weather station) is reporting.
I am able to select my location (Toronto, CA) from the list, running the plugin on my Trinity with MUN's WM6 ROM. The temp display is set to Celsius. I really like the plugin (despite its slowness) but the wrong temperature is making it less appealing.
Temperature too low
I had same problem with Sydney,AU -was showing 44 C and there are only 12C.
I changed to a different city, updated forcast (for different city), than changed back to Sydney and updated again... so I got the correct forecast.
Try it...
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that didn't help at all. The plug in insists that it's currently 23C with light clouds while it's actually 28C and raining cats and dogs
Visit accuweather.com and lookup the current weather for your city and country you have in HTC Today. They should both be the same since accuweather.com is the source. If so, then the source is your issue.
The accuweather.com website seems to be pretty much bang on, the temperatures are almost the same as reported by The Weather Network locally.
I've also noticed two strange things:
1. The 5-day forecast reported by HTC's plugin differs from the 5-day forecast on AccuWeather's website, the same 4 degrees difference (21 on the HTC's plugin instead of 25 on AccuWeather website).
2. The plugin actually reports the correct current temps but only in early morning, as the day progresses the difference becomes greater and reaches 4 degrees around 11-12 AM.
This stupid thing drives me nuts, totally ruins the otherwise excellent HTC Home plugin.
hi all, in Mine , the temp is shown in Farenheits, how can i change this to Celcius? i cant find any options around for that.

Tap on your City, in the "Select City" screen tap on Menu (lower right), then select Weather Options. Under "Temperature Scale" select the Celcius radio button. Tap on Done, then OK.
To address my original problem - out of a sudden the current temp is correct although forecast is still about 4 degrees lower than the actual forecast. Oh well as long as the current temp is fine, I am happy

Check and correct your settings under "Connect"
Date
Sorry! Double post.See next post.
Thanks
Date
Why cant the date follow my "Regional Settings"?
Why is the "Humidity" and "Wind" condition not displayed?
I find the display from the previous version better with more info.
And any chance of having the temperature in C instead of in F? Yes I can change to C but the value is still in F!
What's this for:

Thanks
what is this theme for?
I got it to work, me stupid.
1. I forgot to put %20 for spaces on the ini.
2. I had to add back the plugin order back on the sliding panel.cpr file (organics doesn't use that). For some reason this one needs it.
3. I am creating a cab file, it should be done tonight, just need to verify the updates, need to add in the reg settings for the CWeather, and the Sliding Panel, everything else looks great.
This is a major improvement over the last one. I do miss Wind Speed/Humidity, but I might play with the Ini file to see if that would work.
Also it gives more then one page worth of info, with icons on all the pages.

@xfaith
see my pm on humidity and wind.
Why cant the date follow my Regional Settings?
What is this for? how is it implemented?
Nice, but did not see any Current Temp display? a must have for me...
I dont think I'll be having this installed for long unless the date format is according to my Regional Settings and the readings is in Celcius.
Thanks
Edit
After fiddling with the ini files and understanding it better, I find this apps suites my requirement perfectly. Its light weight and user configureable to choose which weather report provider. Update times are also very flexible.
So MiniWeather stays on my device.
Thanks
Display "Current" & "Forecast" conditions
How do I get both the "Current" & the "Forecast" conditions be displayed like the previous version?
How to convert to and display in Celsius?
<current_conditions>
<condition data="Haze"/>
<temp_f data="86"/>
<temp_c data="30"/>
<humidity data="Humidity: 49%"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/haze.gif"/>
<wind_condition data="Wind: mph"/>
</current_conditions>
-
<forecast_conditions>
<day_of_week data="Today"/>
<low data="77"/>
<high data="89"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/chance_of_storm.gif"/>
<condition data="Chance of Storm"/>
</forecast_conditions>
Edit
I managed to get the Current and day forecast displayed except that the time is not correctly displayed:
Currently 9:0
when it should be:
Currently 09:00
Thanks
Currently I am using one of the following url to sync my device time. It would be great if you can incorporate this too:
0.fr.pool.ntp.org
1.fr.pool.ntp.org
2.fr.pool.ntp.org
Can you explain more on the offset values. How do you determine the offset position and numbers?
Thanks

My Locations ticket with HTC support make me crazy

Hello guiz
Mani of us have problem with My Locations and uncorrect weather information. I open ticket to HTC Support and place here this converstion w/o any comments.
Me:
My Phone is HTC HD2
My Locations not work correctly.
My Locations find my sity Sofia(Bulgaria) correct, but weather and forecast infomrations is not correct. It's not Sofia Weather i think it's Espoo weather information.
How i can fix this ?
HTC:
Thank you for contacting us,
Kindly note that you can change the location of the weather. You can add cities, remove others. You can as well determine whether you’d like those updated data to be downloaded automatically or manually when you choose update now.
Kindly go to touch flo>weather>menu>add location (to add more cities).
Touch flo>weather>menu>settings>download automatically>untick.
Check in regional settings that you choose Bulgaria.
Perform Soft Reset to the phone
Soft Reset :
1. With your thumb or finger, open the back cover by lifting up from the left side of the cover.
2. The RESET button is located at the bottom left below the battery compartment and SIM card slot. Use a small object with an unsharp, pointed tip such as a toothpick to press the RESET button.
ME:
Excuse me becouse my english is't very good but mu problem is not "how to add new city".
I can add Sofia in Weather tab, My Locations correct find my in Sofia also.
But weather information in My Locations is different that added from me city Sofia.
Of course i update both weather in same time. I attach 2 screen shots from witch you can see that.
HTC:
Hello Mr.Dimitrov
Thank you for your quick response.
As the photos shows, the highest epected temprature and lowest one. but the current temprature is in the middle. Is that what you were concerning about?
As the phone gives you approximate degree temrature and within this range the current degree will be.
It expectaed that highest will be 16 and lowest 0 but the current was 4.
Thank you so much for using HTC products.
If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
ME:
Did you see that forecast information for next 4 days is totaly different for 2 screenshots ? It's mean that manualy added locations Sofia from me and My Location also Sofia detected from device have diffrent weather information and forecast.Is it is a normal ?
HTC:
Thank you for your quick response.
Kindly note that the weather in my location it's the street weather not the whole city.
The image with 8 degree (H:9, L:6) is my location one (you'll find a small symbol next to Sofia) and it's updated depending on your location.
The other image shows the weather for the whole City.
Thank you so much for using HTC products.
If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
Respect & Regards,

Registry set date format cause Sense calendar go crazy

I searched this forum but could not find the answer.
I tried to manually set the short date format in the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides)
from "SSDte"=MM/dd/yyyy
To "SSDte"=dd/MM/yyyy
It seems that it caused the dates to display as requested in most apps,
BUT -
The HTC calendar display went CRAZY !!
(I think with the notifications queue went crazy too, but that might have been just a coincedense
When "Agenda" was selected It didnt display the correct day range,
for repeated entries it started to display as multiday,
and in general - totaly failed.
When I changed to a region where dd/MM/yyyy was available,
the calendar performed just fine when set to dd/mm/yyyy.
Any Ideas ?
Another thing (though less important): I tried the reg tweak
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
TBOpt=3
(show date and time in the taskbar)
But the task manager icon covers part of the date,
so my question is -
is there a way to shift this date/time display a few pixels to the left ?
(So the display area would not overlap?)
