Just got a herald and done upgrades very new to this but exited. can anyone tell me how to add my city to the weather station its not listed. I have searched the forum but to no avail. Any help will be gladly appreciated.
What are you trying to add it to? Htc home?
When selecting your city in htc home weather plugin my city is not listed amongst the list of options "Cape Town " I was wondering if there is a way to ad the city name in the options.
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
I found a post detailing how to add some weather locations at http://www.avforums.com/forums/htc-mobile-phone-discussions/1081931-htc-hd2-15.html#post10873219

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

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,
how do i add a location manually?
my weather app's 'add location' is greyed out.
in 'world time' i only have the option to remove cities or rearrange.
thanks

Hi, Have you ever been able to do this? Have you installed any custom ROMS or home screen apps tha could be hiding this? Another point, have you tried a soft reset (switch off and take battery out for ten seconds or press the red reset button under the back cover? On 1.66 stock ROM (and below from memory) There should be a big Add City with a + at the left side above the My Location radio button in World Clock. If you don't think it was an app the caused it you could try a hard reset if a soft one doesn't work.
I believe that there is a tool for adding locations, not "findable using the Add City option. A searach on here or the apps and theams section might identify it for you.
Pretty sure you need 'location service' turned on to set a location...

Although I haven't seen the TMobile USA ROM on stock WWE 1.66 you don't need the location service active to add a city. The Weather "Add Location" function and World Clock "Add City" facility appear to be links to the same thing (IMHO). It's only when you try and get weather data that the location service needs to be activated (then you get the Google Location terms of service screen if it is switched off). Don't why theoption is greyed out. It would be interesting to know if you have ever been able to add in the TMobile USA ROM.
thanks for all the suggestions.
solution: i figured out what was going on (and nowhere in the manual could i find this). the app only allows 12 cities. once you're 'full' the location greys out. and the +add city disappears. my phone came with 11 cities preset so all i had to do was add my home city and i lost the ability to add additional cities with no explanation.
the way this phone is set up is kind of silly. i can look out the window for the local weather, but if i want to monitor the weather in a city i am getting ready to travel to i have to go through the hassle of resetting my phone to that city. which of course, makes the local time/date of the phone incorrect. 'my location' is nice if you never leave home or have a world wide unlimited data plan! (but if you travel and want to monitor weather elsewhere it's a pain).
now to get rid of my location.....
even though i have all data services turned off it somehow keeps defaulting back to my gps location.

ps - i'm using the stock ROM 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Hello everybody,
Can somebody help me with following problem;
When I select the weather tab, there is a default location.
Somehow I managed to put this on "Kerkrade". This is the town
where I live. (NL)
However when I try to update it start searching the location,
but it does not update this location.
When I add another location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade"
the phone updates the weather in this tab.
So this is not a Wifi problem
I think the location "Kerkrade" does not exist, but how can I change the default location to "Heerlen-Kerkrade" ?
Maybe it is very simple, but I can't see the option to change this.
Thanks in advance,
Maurice

Hello,
Thanks for the link....
But this link describes how to add your own cities. I have the problem that default city is "Kerkrade" and there is no way to change(=delete) it. I can't delete it either, because it is not listed.
I can add a new location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade" which works fine.
But on the clock screen, the phone uses de default weather. This is the default one, which I can't delete !
This added one "Heerlen-Kerkrade" I can delete, but the default city I can't delete because my HTC does not see it. If I select update in the default one it say "IDS State 8" below the city.
Is there a way to kill "Kerkrade" in my phone ? Or kill all weather data, so I can start again (without hardreset)
Regards,
Maurice

Hello fighter7139,
That patch did fix my problem partly. Indeed it deleted my default location in the weather tab, which is good.
But on the first tab (clock) it still displays the weather for the deleted one.
It still says "Kerkrade". Is there any way to force my phone to select the
right one?
Thanks,
Maurice
Hi all,
I fixed it.
I found the solution in the thread of fighter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563204
To turn it off "My Location" in the home screen tab, simply tap the clock, add a city, and make this city active. After that, you will have the home tab (and the weather tab, of course) displaying data for this city.
Suberb,
Thanks for your help !
Groeten uit Nederland,
Maurice
