I love the HTC weather app as it looks so beautiful, but I must say a lot of the time the weather forecasts seem to be incorrect compared to Google now weather forecasts...Has anybody else noticed this, or just me lol?
For example it's raining right now and HTC weather app says it is a clear night whilst Google now app correctly reports that that it should be raining...there is nothing wrong with the location on the HTC spp app as it gets its location via GPS...
Would be cool if the app was updated do the user could change weather providers ?

Most weather apps contradict each other. Google now gets its data from The Weather Channel. HTC gets its data from Accuweather.
Just keep an eye on both and see which you trust. right now its party sunny where I am. Google reflects that and says 16 degrees, so too does HTC. Its a draw where I am!
That sounds like good strategy thanks for tee reply
But the HTC weather app doesn't use the integrated barometer sensor for a more accurate prediction in the area?

No it uses... just read the picture....
I use Beautiful Widgets Weather Widget because it's just..........well.......Beautiful. It can use either Accuweather or Weather Underground. I use Accuweather and it's always spot on.
I agree with @theandies i am also using BW and uses accu which is always spot on for me.

Is there any app/widget that finds your current location, like manila does?
i commute a lot to cities over 50 miles away and i want an application that can update with me as i go.. any one have any ideas? i've been searching for days!
i find with my touch pro2 the 1st screen of the weather manila tab knows where you are in the world if your using 3g or wifi, but u need to press update as u cross the zones.
i use weatherbug mobile works geat just type in the city and it will find it i use spb ms 3.5 and have a widget for it try the app its very cool
For a full featured weather application with tons of features and fully skinable, I recommend PocketWeather.

I have touch pro2 and the weather page automatically updates the location and weather - you can enable it in the weather settings.

Yeah, but that's part of sense, and it looks like redjoker needs something that will work with Titanium or SPB as opposed to sense (some users turn that off to improve device performance or to customize the device in some other way)
Is it just my phone?
I guess with this weather widget we can add locations of where we want to know the weather.
Anyway when I search I would like to add the weather for Monterey Ca. and all I get is Monterey Mexico, WTF is the matter with this thing? Am I missing something?
Not every location on earth is in the pick list. You can try Salinas or some other place close by.
Funny that Salinas is there, but I don't want Salinas even tho they are close to each other, the weather is way different.
This program needs work, even if it cannot find it, I should be able to add that location to favorites or something, but thats not an option.
I will have to get the weather channel program.
Not sure if this what you're asking for but you can choose to display your current location by removing the clock widget and re-adding, it will ask which location to use. Choose current location.
Current location is not the problem, I like to know weather conditions of places that I'm going.
I use to use The weather channel app for this on my old phone, so this one had the weather I wanted to know about having the same features, but it does not.
I think I am going to download the weather channel and just run it when I need to know the weather of where I'm going.

Ok, ya I know what you mean. The locations are definitely limited.
You can download the Weather Channel app. It has a widget you can use instead of the HTC one.
I have never had any problems with weather updates on my homescreen until today! My homescreen has stopped displaying a min and max temperature and weather animation and only indicates my current location(rochdale). Is this just a temporary glitch or is there any fix for this. Anyone experienced this?

Same here in Sydney, Australia. Guess it's a worldwide problem.
Thats funny as hell if you ask me :'D I hope it's fixed tomorrow though.

Is this for all HTC Sense enabled phones or just the DHD?
Same here, Adelaide Australia
Same in Barcelona, Spain

Same here in Belgium on hd, also on hd2
Sent from my Desire HD
Same here in Orlando, Florida. The only way I can get my local weather is to drag the widget to the bottom left (Press and hold until you can move it, and then to the "edit" button), and then enter and select my actual city. The funny thing is if I click on where the sun would be I can get to the weather screen, and if I scroll to other cities, they all show correctly. Hmmmm
Lol very weird, my friend text me and said is my weather widget working because his isn't. We both have the Desire HD. I thought it was just a problem with our area's weather because when I click the widget and scroll to another location, it comes up with the clouds and sun, but for me and my friends location, nothing.
Worldwide bug xD
Same here,Nanjing China.
Maybe the service down.
AGGGHHH i reset my phone thinking there was a problem..... oh well same here uk.
Same in Slovakia...

thank god, I thought I had screwed up my phone! hahaha (I just got done removing apps from the system/app folder)
Not working on my HTC Incredible in Indiana!
I think there's a bug in the widget. I'm assuming that everyone here is using the (current) location and seeing the problem with that. I've got two other locations on the weather list and viewing them the weather displays normally. Adding my location manually also shows the weather normally. If the service was down it would be affecting all locations instead of just the (current) version.
If this is a bug that means that both the HTC Weather and the HTC News widget have issues... how can they have introduced so many bugs between the last Sense UI phone and the DHD?!
yep same here for Melbourne Australia..... also i notice htcsense .com is playing up.... missing the people,footprints,messages tabs

Problem for me is that I can do "current location" and it shows my city and temp....but if I try doing it manually, my city can't be located!
I'm trying to fill a specific need.
Before this i had a Ibex Flytouch 3. It lasted 4 days from new before the battery exploded and melted it to scrap.
BUT - it had a very nice weather widget that shows time and weather from lots of world places. Specifically Newbiggin-by-the-sea, Northumberland, UK.
No other weather app I've seen shows Newbiggin, the closes is Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland. OK, the weather will be the same, but I'd like to see Newbiggin listed and shown.
I've got the apk from the FT files, and it installs and runs as a widget, but I can change the settings (It used to be a tap on the widget would open its settings window, tapping it widget on my A500 does nothing).
Anyone know how to make it allow settings, or of a weather widgety that shows Newbiggin?
try beautiful widget...
I'll try him, thanks.
Palmary weather does the job I need, but it add TOO many widgets - I just want one simple little thing - why do they have to bloat things out so much?
In that case, you can use the basic widget available on the Acer.
But beautiful widget offers choice of different widgets from simple to sophisticated...
well the ACER one is not finalize... cut the text on the bottom...
and concerning beautifull.... hummm no comment.
Ressource eating, too much things.... but normal it's meant to be like this
but I will release asap my widget, minimalistic, nothing more than temperature, and simple graphic... just need too study more about Java

Don't get me wrong, i don't mind sophisticated..
I just don't want all the other widgets still installed after I've got the one I want running.
It's good it gives you a choice - it just needs to delete the ones I don't choose.

I've already tried it - the water live wallpaper works fine and looks great, but the weather app/widget fails (installs, but on run force closes all the time).
Two questions about the GS2's Accuweather Widget.
First, it doesn't seem to update the weather without me hitting the update sync, it also doesn't update locations like Beautiful Widgets does.
Second, I'm also using Launcher Pro, but when I try and resize the Accuweather Widget, the blue color back ground doesn't fit.
So anyone know how to resize in LP?
And get the thing to update the weather and locations?
Thanks

Go launcher, launcher pro and adw fail to resize stock widgets correcty.... You can see that in this video too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA2wSVzi3Gk
Ok, thought so on LP.
What about the updating of the Accuweather widget and locations?
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.

Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.
When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.
But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.

Please also disable the following functions beside AccuWeather Enable Current Location:
Voice Command & Voice Talk (preloaded on GS2)
Uncheck Settings -> Use location

As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.

Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.
