Problem with Weather update in HTC HD2 - HD2 General

Hello,
I'm from Bahrain and Recently I bought T-Mobile HTC HD2 from US. Everything works as it should except one problem I couldn't solve !
The weather update doesn't work when I click on update now it's ask me for permission to access Internet and download the data ! I allowed it to access Internet using Edge network but it's saying cannot get the data !
I read that this weather service use GPS to update the weather info why it's asking now for Internet connection? Is it necessary to access Internet to get the weather updates ?
Thanks in advance..

gps just tells where you are, then this data is sent through the internet connection to get the weather forcast.
Some things just don't work very well with edge only. Have you tried wifi?

a little confused

why is it when im on wifi i cant connect to the market browser and all data usage app??? n when i am over edge everything works
I think the market can only be accessed through tmobiles network... I may be wrong but that is what it seems.

I connect to the market all the time via WiFi (non-TMo WiFi). There has to be some other reason. (Could be the market is down, or something like that also...)

removing My Location from weather tab

its annoying cuz it seems their servers ( my location and htc's own ) are different . u add your location and then my location sets your location ( in this part u have 2 same cities ) the weather prediction from same city is different , i want to remove my location cuz its not reliable i guess ...
how can i do this ?
Use the attached cab.
tnx bro ...
By the way, does My location works with the 3G or HSPDA connection (on the HD it works only with the wifi connection... :/ )

from what I have read from the forums, it is working with data connection.

Market over wifi issue
I have the same issue with marketplace over wifi. Works fine over 3g but gives me a message about being unable to connect to server when I am using wifi.
Hi.
I think Marletplace just works over 3G, GPRS, HDSPA, etc, but not over Wifi.
Same problem here. Any updates?

There is. It's called a data connection. What can you get in the marketplace that you can't get on omarket or handango?

WiFi problem, dissconects all the time...

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

I personally haven't had any issues and I'm on TMo UK. Have you tried enabling it both ways? From the wireless settings in the settings menu and from the app in the app drawer?

When I connect, it takes about 5 to 8 minutes until I can get access. Try leaving it connected for a while.
on tmobile uk too and no issues here. start the hotspot, search on the laptop for the wifi name and enter code.
Maybe post the steps you have done so far so people can try and see whats wrong?

Select Hotspot app
Inputed router name and security code WPA(TKIP) 9 letters
Selected checkbox 'Portable Wi-fi Hotspot'
Searched on laptop for router and inputed WPA
Laptop connected
Started internet app like firefox
On phone in the notification area the hotspot '3G' text (not the symbol) keeps dropping after a few mins and reappears
Ok sorted I think there was a problem with the apn I removed user and password entries and all sorted.
