weather not updating on t-mobile usa

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to start it here, since all other threads are bombered with "i want the htc touch weather applet"... and explanation on how to add cities.
This thread is to discuss any findings about why T-Mobile USA (and some UK) customers can never get updates via GPRS/Edge.
Almost a perfect device, but always these small annoying issues that SHOULD work, but never do.

Did you enable the "update when roaming" option ?

where?
I wanted to open a thread about this. This is a weird problem. One thing we know is not about the ports. This is really weird but my weather has updated twice over GPRS. I never noticed when it does it. Any proffesional help is appreciated.

I think this thread needs to go somewhere else because it is something general.

I am also seeing the same issues with T-Mobile USA. I am able to load Cities when I am connected to a PC or via Wifi, but not over Edge.

Weird
I was out on vacation the whole week and the weirdest thing happened. It updated my forecast. Just once, and didn't do it since. I wonder if it's tower/location specific. And yes, I have update when roaming enabled.

I am having the same exact problem, it updates when I active snyc, but not over GPRS- and I am on Tmobile also.

Does anyone know if there's a fix for this yet? It would make this app so much better being able to receive weather updates on the go via gprs/edge. I am having the same issue on tmobile, only able to update weather via active sync or wifi.

not yet. someone please contact the pda department and ask them to investigate further, although I think they wont do anything since the htc home plug is not meant for use with tmobile usa.

I just called T-Mobile's PDA support. They ran some diagnostics and told me that everything is fine on their end.
They said that if we can browse the web then we must be able to update the weather plugin.
One thing I did notice is that if I open the following link from my PDA it gets all the information:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW%20YORK
This link is what the weather plugin uses.

My touch is from the UK and in Canada the phone always shows roaming. As such what I have found is that I need to have BOTH "auto download" AND "roaming downloads" enabled to causes the plugin to "automatically" refresh the data.
The refresh does not happen as you would think howerver ( ie, in the background ) but rather when you switch to the weather display. If the last download was older than a preset age, it will download the latest weather conditions.
With roaming downloads or auto download disabled I have to force a download (ie refresh weather data) by manually clicking on the elapse time displayed next to the city name.

Where do I configure HTC Weather to use a proxy?

This problem reminds me of the days when everyone besides T-Mo users could access Google results pages. I think the consensus was that there was some incompatibility with MTU settings. It could be that this is the case here too.

Just found a fix here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Step 1 worked for me...! Weather now updating via GPRS/EDGE
EDIT: I just unistalled the HTC Home cab and only copied across the HTC Home dll and it works as well. No need to run the host software.

Are you really using T-Mobile's proxy connection for this?

Nope, blackberry plan. Shouldn't technically matter though, if you're using the proxy you could point to the guys server via pocket hosts.
Cheers,
Robbie.

I'm still not able to get this to work. I think there are 2 things going on here for those which require T-Mo's proxy. First, is the T-Mo network problem in general that you seem to have been able to get around, and secondly, forcing the app to use T-Mobile's proxy, b/c all traffic must use that to use the wap APN.
Which servers are you using to get this to work over the internet APN?

make sure your apn says: wap.voicestream.com
username:
password:
leave username and password blank
try this, it may work

[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle

T-mobile Pro 2 Push Internet

I have been going through the t-mobile version of the touch pro 2 and I have not been able to find the settings for "Push Internet".
I did a quick google and found that the T-mobile EU version has removed it, so I assume that the US version also has the same problem.
Is this a rom upgrade issue or is there a cab that can be installed to override the t-mobile settings on the touchflo 3D 2.1?
Thanks,

I was hoping that like many things disabled from the pro 2, a quick registry hack might be possible. Anyone know how?

sorry, removed! but at least the FM radio and extra camera settings are found on this blog!

try in here...
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila.
among the sub file:
-Internet.SetOperaForeground
-InternetPush.PostFirstRun
-PushMailOn
-DefaultBrowserIsIE
those look like points of interest. try changing the values around on those. i already turned the push mail on. but i havent seen a difference yet. maybe because i havent rebooted. but yeah, ill try those and get back to you..

I maybe too newbie but is it T-Mobile (UK?) settings?
Has the push function been removed from the ROM, or is it T-Mobile settings... I couldn't get MS Exchange to sync with T-Mobile default 3g settings so used these which worked... I don't know if it will help th push internet too... Just trying to help, if it's not relevant then flaming not appreciated!
Under the connections tab, edit existing connections...
ISP Name - T-Mobile GPRS
Name of Connection T-Mobile GPRS
Connection Type - Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Portal - general.t-mobile.uk
Username - user
Password - one2one
The default settings use a proxy server which some applications don't like.

I took a look through the registry, I went through the whole thing. I notice in software/HTC/manila there is the settings for push internet. I messed with some settings and it looks like the push internet is enabled by default but the touchflo program is missing the push internet settings button.
Is there a way to hack the layout links on the TF program through the reg?

I dont think you can access TF settings through the registry. i have seen many settings for it. just a couple here and there. We may need a fix for it in the form of a CAB. i dont see anyone figuring this out through RegEdits. im sure a lot of people have been through it and tried different things, so we may just have to wait for a new ROM?

Push internet is a new thing in the TP2. It downloads web pages on a schedule so they're ready when you need it. T-mobile took out the feature, presumably to save bandwidth.

aahhh!!! didn't know that...thanx

I have been checking through reg again.
I think that in the Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/ we are missing some of the Keys to push internet. I see that you can setup some of the push internet features but there are no options like the URL, download times, or anything, but just below the same area allows you to configure almost every other auto download service like schedule your stock, and download times, weather, auto-download.
Maybe someone with push internet working can post a pic of the push internet settings from Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/

There's also bound to be an XML file or additional settings in the existing one (InternetPortal-en-us.xml) and t-mobile might have removed a DLL or two. What we really need is a file-comparison of the two devices as well as a registry comparison.

HTC Peep login problem

Anyone else having problems with HTC Peep? I can't get it to login to any twitter account, just gives me a login failed (wrong username password type message).
Also use moTweet with no such problems (but would like to use Peep too to stay logged into one account)
It did work once, but not for a week or so now.

yea im getting that too. I think its part of the general network problems that constantly afflict this buggy phone :-(
I get mail connection issues while opera works fine.. I am starting to think it might be something to do with the way the programs call the network interface in WinMo.

I had a Google around and it seems some Android users were getting some similar problems with Peep in Sense UI. Wonder if it's more to do with the Peep app rather can a network issue?

Anyone else getting this problem?
Appreciate if you use Peep and it's working you post a reply too (realise that many others will be using other twitter apps instead due to peep being a little limited in functions)

Hi,
I am on vodafine UK and peep works without any issues on my HD2. On hero, Peep works on wifi as and other networks but does not work on Vodafone UK(regardless of the AP settings).
Vodafone is not blocking the ports, however they are certainly manipulating the incoming data to the devices. Some applications get affected from this process. While there might be other work arounds, I have noticed that using SSL for web requests in the applications resolves issues. For instance, an application I was working on was working ok on wifi deserializing json data from the server but it was failing to do so on Vodafone data connection. Using https instead of http on the server fixed the issue. Of course, this is a fix that need to be applied within the application.

I had the issue with mine too so I created new account on twitter. After sucessfull login there I went back and all was ok. (It is the trick found by some1 else here...)

I've had it not work a couple of times, but 99% of the time it works all the time

it only works with my vodafone if I disable the proxy.. otherwise it only works with wifi..
but when I switch from wifi to 3G, the first time the applications try to connect again.. also weather etc. I get a connection error, althought the 3G/H icon flashes. also after a reboot.. but when I try to connect again it works fine..
not a real problem as I hardly use wifi on it as the 3G connection is really fast and at home the computer is always on and within reach..
when you disable the vodafone proxy, you won't be able to get in the live portal site and/or use those services.. but who cares about that..
generally this fixes a lot of things in the phone, as everything connects to "The Internet" by default. But the vodafone automatic settings screw them up. With the proxy disabled the The Internet account works again and this means it will use wifi when it's on, if not it will use 3G. With the proxy disabled you can also set your mail accounts to "The Internet" instead of "Vodafone live!" and it can receive mail over wifi and 3G.

I tihnk mine worked with T-Mobs 1.43 ROM, but since using 1.61 (and a dabble with 1.48) mine only connects to Twitter through WiFi, not through GSM or 3G. The same is true for MSN messenger too.

Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!

Have Twitter changed something recently? I used to be able to connect using Tweetdeck & Digsby on my PC, as well as the HTC Peep app and moTweet.
No it seems I can only be logged on with one of these applications, or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... deffo wouldnt work on HTC HD2 until I logged out of my PC app.

thanks for the post. glad that you ve solved it. didnt work for me I use htc hd2 in Turkey, with Turkcell. I ll post the solution too if I hopefully find it...

TMOUS unfortunately, there is no UPDATE DATABASE, in my data connections.

may sound stupid, but this happens to Peep if you ever used Opera Mobile 10 for Twitter. Solution: log in to Twitter via OM10 and force manual logout there. Peep should be OK afterwards.

It's obviously an HTC Peep issue as many have installed other Twitter clients and they're working OK.
EDIT: I tried schnooller's advice (above) and logged OUT of Twitter.com using Opera on my HD2. Closed Opera, then relaunched Peep..and it's all working fine now

hello
i also have same probs it shows account is forbidden in htc hd2
any body have solution.

Some apps not triggering HSPDA connection

Hi all, got my new HD2 yesterday, got phonealarm, TOMTOM7 and a few other apps loaded plus all the HTC patches and latest ROM. Its an HTC branded phone on T Mobile PAYG.
When I go to check my e-mail, it pops up asking me to check my data settings with a dismiss button. When I try and use Twitter it says the service is temporary unavailable. When I use the Weather to update I get a similar message.
Browsing and FB are fine, I have requested the T mobile settings but they arrive as a voicemail message which is odd. Any ideas?
Thanks all.

tmo uk use a proxy, which is the first thing to turn off,
settings menu all settings connections* connections manage existing connections proxy tab untick uses a proxy.
try that, if that doesnt work, at the * point above, there should be a 'connection setup' app. Give that a try, but dont forget running it will probably re apply the proxy.

Genius maty, works a treat now. Also my twitter is now working. Could you explain why unticking it works? Cheers.

i'd assume its to do with the proxy traffic shaping in some way. i believe tmo compress images too,

Its the fault it did'nt even try, just popped up with the connections error and the dismiss button.
Just tried it again, fine, goes onto 3G, jumps to H, then checks mail no prob.
Only other thing to sort its the weather, it picks up my local town which is coded in. But the "my location" won't work. I get a connection error Retry YES or NO. Get this regardless of whether its wireless or active sync.
