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

10x it works.
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.

I can not put it on my phone, it says Its not for your phone.
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.

I have a problem..
As known, in weather tab there are 6 locations to select in manilla 2D.
Although I have had the possibility to type any location in weather tab in the past, but in these days something happened I can not type any letter in the box like inactive and even I can not see the city list below meaning empty..
I have my city is already selected and working fine. But When I need to add a new locations no more possible..
Wheather location selection (of course, only one) Windows and SPB shell is fully functional, problem is in Manilla 2D only.
Not changed any ROM etc.. But changed some manilla themes only.
Any suggestion?
Ths in advance..

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
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.
ive just got my new HTC touch2 and i cannot find away how to change my current location on home screen, it says rockville? im in england. also is there a way to change the background on the other screens apart from the home.
thanks
For the first question - i succeeded to change location to my town after i installed Weather Update from HTC site, but if your phone is operator one you need to hack it before that (HSPL).

start-settings-system-regeional settings,
then select your location from the list
To answer your other question: to change your homescreen and other tab screens use M2DC application.
Ever since putting new taskbars and using hdwall things have gone wrong!!!

Have tried several rom's lately, with all of them I have the same problem. The home city seems not to be found, other cities upgrade well in weather tab. Tried everything, agreed google maps, activated AGPS, etc.
Can this be caused by new version of browser, google maps or anything else??
Maybe some cooks have the answer.
search for adding towns to the sense database.

Hi Samsamual, thanks but adding other towns isnt the problem. For some unknown reason the location "my location" dosnt update, all the other places update fine. Its a bit of a bummer because its the "my location" info that is displayed as an animation on the home screen. Does any one know how to change which location is displayed on the home screen?

make sure location services are active,,,
settings menu all settings system location service, and on the weather tab make sure my location is activated.

OK, when I looked there (had previously done so) all looked fine, however with what you say its made me notice I dont have a weather tab. The only things are Location Service settings ->Impove location service.... (on) and Programs that use Location Service-> HTC location service ... Ticked.
no i meant in sense weather tab, not a tab within location services.
when you set up weatheron the sense weather tab, you click menu, enable my location, accept the google yes/no screen.

assuming you mean when you go to the weather tab and click menu, there isnt an option to 'enable my location', then you already enabled it and your problem is something else. Did you turn on location services in settings menu all settings system?

Yes, its almost as if it cant work out my location and therefore cant download the relevant info. I have added my local town to the locations and thats fine, but as I say its the "my location" weather that is displayed on the home screen (or not as is the case now).

Flashed a new ROM, all working now.
