Weather not showing under clock

Hi all.
Ever since updating to the new ROM (Orange UK) I have been getting the com.htc.provider error message. Everyone is saying that this is because of Peep and Twitter but it is causing another problem for me: The weather on the clock widget is no longer showing. It displays the name of where I am but that is it. Around 10% of the time the weather is there but 90% it isn't.
I have tried wiping (factory reseting) the phone and re-installing the ROM but this doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I am Having the exact same problem with the weather since the update, but if i just choose the weather by itself, then that will update.

Yep, that's the problem alright.
Glad I am not the only one but I would prefer it if it wasn't happening at all!

I logged out of Peep and the problem as described disappeared....might be a coincidence however!

I am also seeing an issue sometimes with the HTC Weather widget not updating as regularly as before. With the v1 firmware it would update a few seconds after I moved to the Home screen it lives on, now it takes ages or does not update at all. You have to go to the Weather app and manually initiate an update.
Just (now) checked the widget and it updated immediately
I think the newest firmware (may be Orange related only) updates at longer intervals than with the 1st release.
A pain and IMHO as the weather in certain places can change quickly, and not how it should work.
I hope HTC don't think the v2 firmware is the final one they need to release.
BTW, not logged into Twitter via Settings but use Twidroid and log in via this.
Not had the .provider error message at all.

Well the weather bug on home screen happens because of the com.htc.provider error.
And since the com.htc.provider error comes from the Peep application and not Twitter you need to not use Peep until HTC releases an update.
A fast way to get the weather to work again is if you have saved your scene. then you just need to change to the normal HTC Scene and then back to your own again.
And regarding the latest release it will probably only be one of many since already in October it is rumored that the next firmware which will probably be a build of Donut will be released.

I've had that problem since I've had it, about 2 months, Done factory reset twice. And it cures it for about 10 minutes, then just name of homebase, and no weather.

I Had the same problem after the update. I deleted the clock from the homescreen, reinstalled the HTC Clock widget and it works fine now. Hope that helps.....

is there a way to manually set the weather so that it shows under the clock??
i mean i m not connected to GPPRS or 3G all the time..so can i just make it show manually?? without being online??

I've had this problem almost since day one. It's a G2 on stock T-Mobile ROM.
No weather data under clock and if I manually update it just says 'no data available'.

Yep, same as me, apart from when it was brand new, worked for about half hour, then 'no data available' for my home base in 2months, and deleting and installing new widget makes no difference as worked for some others

I've been getting the no data available problem as well.
What I've found is that using 'current' as the location sometimes gives this for my location (Leicester) however, if I add Leicester as an actual location and choose this as the one to display, then it seems ok.
There's obviously a bug of some sort that results in Leicester current having no data when Leicester actually selected does.
Also, when I add the clock widget, no matter what city I choose to display, it always displays the one which is top on the sort order. I get round that by sticking my local one at the top...
Not sure if that is exactly the same as what you guys are experiancing...

peep - "account was forbidden to access the twitter service" ?

I'm signed in fine, can view "my profile" and post a "new tweet" but when I try to "update now" it displays the message...
Download Error
The account was forbidden to access the twitter service.

I've tried signing out and in again on the HD2 and checked on twitter.com itself to confirm that "HTC Peep" is approved on the "connections" tab.
Any ideas please?
I have an o2 HD2, rom version 1.43.206.4

do you find the answer?

account was forbidden to access the twitter service
I'm also getting the same error.
I can update post and profile but can't do "update now".
Any help is appreciated.
Mine is HD2 ROM v 1.66.707.1 WWE

Kwanice, apologies for the delayed response, have been away from keyboard.
My issue was due to using a (standard UK keyboard) character in my Twitter password that was accepted via Twitter and web browsers but I can only presume not recognised by HD2/Peep.

lol ok
i think i have a problem because i've created a .reg files to insert automaticaly my account name and password...and it's not really good lol
so i need to erase the twitter account to created a new one..:s
thanks

Twitter has stopped using regular http auth and now uses oauth which Peep (htc twitter app) does not support. So... until whoever makes Peep updates it with support for oauth, you need another twitter app... Simple fact.

Is any Twitter app working? I tried moTweets and PockeTwit and doesnt work...

Peep is outdated and useless, HTC failed to update it.
Is anyone else having problems with the phone in general that started today out of no where? I am, my device is bugging out like it hasnt in months and it has all conincided with the HTC Peep failure, its somehow messing up sense to me and that is creating issues as I navigate all apps in Sense.
My phone wont even boot up now, black screen, think I will have to hard reset. I hate this phone and HTC its a comedy of errors.
If I allow the screen to go black, it wont wake up from sleep now. Great.

I am also having the same issue. I'm with T-Mobile and I've been seeing this error all day today

same here, started today
i dont have any other problems

Go to settings/personalize/Home screen tabs and disable the htc peep tab. If you have it set for auto updates it is going to lock up sense anytime it tries.

Got the same here (the netherlands) Did nothing out of the ordinary, just pressed "update now" or whatever it is called in English ("nu bijwerken" in dutch). Doesn't it just go away if i wait a bit?

well for my case: I updated my Tilt 2 with the official ROM update released by HTC a day or two back. Sens UI 2.5 obviously. Worked great, tho a bit sluggy. a couple tweaks fixed that. Peep actually worked till just after midnight (think 1, 2 am; from like 8 or 9 pm when i did the ROM Flash) i started it was having less and less sucess updating to the point that i couldn't download (error messages showing) updated once more by miracle and early afternoon (something like 1 pm today) started showing me that precise message:
Download Error
The account was forbidden to access the twitter service.
Hope HTC or Twitter gets on this because PockeTwit has been giving me problems too lately: communication error and now tells me of incorrect credentials or Network unavailable.

Wow, crazy you mentioned this. Starting late last week, Sense UI started goofing up and freezing on me shortly after turning the phone on, even after rebooting. It was driving me nuts the entire day.
I ended signing out of Twitter and concluded the issue was with twitter. I then ended up deleting the "db" and "cache" folders in the My Device > Temp > TwitEng directory.
I was fine the past few days up until today when I started getting the error in this thread. I again had to delete the "db" and "cache" folders as my Sense UI started goofing up again.
I see that Twitter is now using Oauth instead of http which explains the error. I kinda like Peep so hopefully HTC updates...
For now, I'm using Azurea as my Twitter client which seems to be working okay.

Twitter Client Alternative
Well, so far it is evident that the current Peep is no longer useful... We'll have to wait till HTC releases a patch for it.
Till then any other suggestions for twitter clients that work with the Oauths..
MoTweet worked..but TouchTwit fails..

on my samsgung galaxy S everything it´s working fine, but not on my HD2

On my HTC HD2: Peep not working as mentioned. Is there any indication of HTC updating Peep? Or should we switch to an other twitter app entirely? Too bad though, the Twitter home tab looked awesome.

facebook and HTC Album

I love the intergraded facebook functionality, specially the photo feature to view them in HTC Album.
Now I can view albums from a lot of users, but from some others I can't.. while in the standalone facebook app, which sucks compared to HTC Album, I can view the albums ok.
Now this could be due to certain facebook account/privacy settings, but I've tried about every setting I can find in facebook but my own albums won't show up in HTC Album.
Am I missing a setting? or is this just a known bug?
I've set the permissions for the albums to "Everyone", as well as the photo application permission settings itself. And the profile share privacy settings for photos is checked (and everything else just to make sure) but still they won't show.. they do show in the standalone facebook app but I would really like them to show up in HTC Album.
Any advice or help is much appreciated!

Had the same issue, apparently it's about the privacy settings of the users. If some of them don't have their picture in your phone, it means that your phone was unable to retrieve it due to some settings they made in their original facebook account

I understand that, but what about my own albums?

Up for this question!
Can you guys see your own albums just fine on HTC album?
It says "The user has no albums to display"
but I know I have albums!

I just had this issue, then realised that I recently changed my facebook password and didnt reflect this in the integrated version. So now, it tells me that I have albums, but the images wont load up...the loading animation just goes around in circles.....

Yes I can see mine no problem at all.

that happend to the albums of the ones that I could see when I had the camera icon disabled in the registry.. if you've also done that, turn it back on..
I am quit new to facebook and the users that I can see albums from are quit long term users.. maybe it takes a while... or it has something to do with new facebook accounts..

Yes with similar problem too. I can see the album names but no pictures can be displayed, HTC Album only shows me a 'forbidden-like' icon. The problem will not occur while the ROM is freshly installed, but will happen after few days.

Try this?
Hope it works for you.

I just got my HD2 from tmobile yesterday. Initially, I was able to view contacts' facebook photos either through the facebook app or directly from their contact page. However, for some reason, I am no longer able to (I either get "Fetching" eternally, when using the app, or "user has no albums to display" when trying through contacts).
Obviously I'm using the factory ROM, I've tried a hard reset (no luck) and have also tried ensuring that the relevant cache is properly set, but my problem remains.
Edit: I also get an error if I attempt to go through Albums to the facebook user.

i have the same issue... one contact i can see the albums the others i don't

Also, my phone info:
ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Manilla: 2.5.20121412.1
Fresh off of a hard reset, first thing I tried was the facebook app, and it hangs on "fetching."

Same here...I have tried different Rom's too and it's the same. I believe it has to do something related to the new facebook privacy settings...possible a setting on each individual profile to block external application from accessing?

mine hangs on 'fetching' also, us hd2.....

it seems implausible that it is a facebook privacy setting: mine works sometimes, and it does not seem to depend on the user either. one time, after a hard reset, i could see one friend's photos, but only for a few hours. then it hung on fetching. I'm using the factory us tmobile rom and trying to view facebook albums immediatly after a hard reset. some user's photos will show (consistently) others will show (but will stop displaying after a short period), and some won't show at all. it is not consistent across users.
is the facebook app simply bad? does it work consistently for anyone? if so, what are.your settings, if you don't mind sharing? i'd really appreciate any help, this seems like too significant a feature to simply not work, i'm hoping that i'm just missing something. thanks
edit: starting a new thread. having re-read the OP's problem, mine (and some of the others') problems do seem substantially different.

I am having the, "i cant see my own photos" problem. Every thing else seems to work fine. I would just like my own pics to load so i can tag them when i upload them
I even tried installing the app to storage card instead of using the cooked in app in the NRG rom. The Tilt 2's we used before didnt have this problem and i just checked my daughters app this morning on her tilt 2 and its working normal. Though mine and my wifes HD2's dont get 3g, we have even tried on WIFI

Tried This?
I experienced a similar problem recently. Heres what I did -
-Downloaded the newest FB app from Windows Marketplace.
-Input user name and password and confirmed it working and could view
albums in the app itself
-Turned off automatic updates, then turned back on
After that, the albums seemed to work and fully load. Essentially what I think happened in my case was I had an older version, downloaded a new one and never reset my FB settings on the HD2 settings tab for data services (so it didnt see me as an allowed user, rather a "guest" FB account trying to view an album). Then I could access HTC Albums and see all the pictures again. Again, may work for you, may not. Just an idea that worked for me.
Definitely worth trying tho.
Good luck, let me know if it helps anyone.

That didnt help me at all. Its random and i had my pics load in the app a couple times, with only place holders, no thumbs, but its after logging out in sense and restarting. Only some times though. Most of the time it just sits there loading forever
I can see all my pics in the albums just fine at all times, and i see all others too. Im just trying to get the app to load them so i can tag if i need to, like the other day when i found out this problem exsists

I figured out a way (a trick) to get my photos to load so i can go in and tag. I setup facebook app to rotate in BSB tweaks and now when i go to my photos in facebook app and it sits there with the animate loading, i just turn my phone and the place holders show up. Good enough! Then flip the phone back and go in and tag the mobile uploads.

Official T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Upgrade! - [2.13.531.1]

Here are a few links with information (including the HTC website download mirror) regarding the official update from T-Mobile USA, courteously provided by: Pocket Now!
Upgrade Announcement!
ROM Information!
I will most likely be applying this update within the next few days. Although, I'm a little hesitant just because I figure that certain, "Manila modifications" won't operate properly on this upgraded T-Mobile USA version... NOT YET ANYWAY!

Thanks,
Downloading

Install new ROM and restore from Sprite
I plan to install the new official ROM and then do a full restore from a Sprite backup that I will have done while on the old ROM.
Will that work
Do I need to do anything different with Sprite or is it just a normal restore
Thanks for any advice.

I have downloaded this version and installed it...i think its slow and it lags. so i got rid of it and i flashed back old one.

I wouldn't advise that...
Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."
It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.
Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?
Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.
I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.
Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.

I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...

Any changelog ?

I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?

Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.
How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.
BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.
Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.

Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.

One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.
The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.

I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.

Because the phone was created and manufactured by HTC. Just like Apple releases the updates for its iPhone; not AT&T.

my account application works fine on my hd2. overall, the updated rom seems to run a lot smoother. however, i still get the lag in sms but the freezing issues (to the point where i had to take out the battery once or every other day during sms) seem to be gone.

fb problems

anyone else having trouble getting in to fb news feed? ever since yesterday its giving me "an error occured while fetching data [null]"

Not had a problem but wondered what version of Facebook you are using cos I had heard some people had problems after a recent update with 'Facebook for Android'.
If you uninstall it, I think it leaves you with the stock one that came with the phone which seems to work ok.

thats the one im using the one that came with the phone, and its only on the news feed everything else seems to be working fine.

Only problem I am having of late with it is that after reading the first set of statuses and go to click on Older Posts, it won't show me any more as the last two on the list (of the first set) are dates as Jan 1st even though they were posted today.
