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...

My mega is t-mobile branded and the weather is not showing on home screen. its just asking to update but it's not updating. i tryied to update by official htc fix but it faults on %4. And maybe anyone knows how to change default t-mobile internet browser to opera 10

just that the weather on the homepage of my touchflo didn't update untilI ran the quickgps app
Weather application is not linked to quick GPS but HTC location service.....assume you have enabled that... btw it is not a very stable program
Sometimes you have to update more than ones......and finding your current location with google maps helps.....
have ur ISP settings set to ur mobile operator , connect to update , just for 1 second and turn it of , i mean the connection , update QuickGPS and try again .... i'm not really sure if this helps but everytime i do somethin in my internet settings , the Weather tab resets it's places hope it updates properly now !
still nothing.
couple months ago i downloaded some file from xda which fixed this problem, but now i done hard reset and i can't find it anymore on xda

I've sent 2 times a support form to t-mobile in germany, asking if they would be delivering the weather fix for the german market... so far no answer. The first time was right after the fix was posted by htc in December, the second time I posted this was a week ago.
No answer whatsoever.
Bleah.

And may be they wont do it mate.
Quite propable, that they won't do it. The same behaviour has been with other german t-mobile branded phones - too much hassle to properly test patches etc, with no real possibilities that it would bring money in.
I'll follow the hspl stuff how it advances and after some observation period will flash myself too.
After all I've been flashing my Blackstone and Kaiser for a while, so this is not a big issue. My wife is using the phone and she doesn't have the "same urge" to have her phone flashed
abe
whoa. just having said that previous thing... going to the ROM section and finding out, that T-Mobile has released a new ROM just today

Ive searched Google and couldn't find a answer to this. Im running Energy.IMAGIO.23563.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.20 and every time i try to update the weather it just sits n then says no weather data available? Even on Google maps it says location temp unavailable? Anyone have any ideas? I first thought gps is bad but im a noob and not sure how to tell if the gps test is good or bad?
Sounds like you don't have My Location turned on.
I double checked it and its on so not sure whats up. Even tried hard n soft reset plus diff roms. Was working 1min then just stopped at 11pm one night

Well . . . weather data does not use GPS, so that is not the issue.
When you click on the weather tab, does it have your location correct?
Can you add your city and see if that improves the situation?
As for the GPS, have you run "QuickGPS" to download the initial satellite information?

Are you able to surf the web and/or get email with it?
How about selecting a city near you. We just need to see if it can download weather data for ANY city.

Ya i can get email, surf the web and got a city a 50miles west of me so that all works? Starting to think that it doesnt like my area anymore
Im having the same exact problem with my Touch Pro 2, you click update the circle spins and then it says no weather data available. I called vzw tech and they are sending me a new one
I am having the same problem with my Tilt 2 on AT&T. It works fine on edge, but won't work at all on 3G.
I've received a new device and its not working near my house, drove 275 miles yesterday and only wouldnt work within a 30 mile radius of my home.
Actually bought a ****ty imagio too and thats not updating either, per someone at ppcgeeks, apparently it is a mapping issue and HTC is aware.
I've got a problem that's not related to GPS but locations. When I'm at home, the weather widget says my location is Sweden, however, Google Maps finds almost my exact location (two streets away or so). If I take a one km walk it finds the location and says Stockholm. I tried re-installing the locations software with no luck. Maybe my phone doesn't like my flat? :S
LOL....I don't think location app is displaying weather....

If you read what I actually said I clearly state that it's a problem with the weather widget (which naturally does display weather)
I have a different, but frustrating issue:
On the clock widget where you also can see your location and the weather:
I live in a town called Geldrop in the Netherlands, which always showed on the clock widget, including the weather corresponding to this town.
Now since a couple of days (do not know when exactly)...it just says: 'current location'...when I select the widget, bring it to the left bottom on the homescreen to edit it, I cannot select Geldrop anymore, it says it does not exist.....
My girlfriend has a DHD as well, and hers still says Geldrop.
Now, I do have flashed Leedroid, kernels etc, etc, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it...but is anyone able to point me in the direction of the solution?

The problem I'm experiencing only seems to appear when I'm in Stockholm, nowhere else.
I had the same problem with it saying "Current Location" before too, both on the DHD and my old WM. It solved itself eventually. However, the reason Geldrop doesn't "exist" is because it's not added in the built in database that comes from HTC. Because of this, you'll only see Geldrop when it's your current location since it gets the name of the location via AGPS and then looks it up on Acuweather.com. There's a program to edit the database for WM which I used to add Opitter in Belgium with, but I don't know if there's one for Android.

This actually makes sense
I have now chosen Eindhoven, as it is next to Geldrop and the weather is very similar

Yes, but the fact that your girlfriends phone finds the location while yours doesn't is very strange since it's the same device. I will report this tomorrow.
Another thing that's strange is the weather animation for fog. On the weather tab it says FOG with black letters all over the animation while this text is not visible on the clock widget. I asked HTC about this and they said it's all as it should be. Seems strange to me though.

It is strange....it is not a big issue, but would like to see Geldrop, rather than Eindhoven.
When you say 'will report this' what do you mean?

Contact their dev support.
Okey, so I mailed HTC today and they told me to remove the ip for the Proxy and port from the API, which seemed a bit strange to me, and to my disappointment it only made it worse by saying "Connection failed". Yey!
I am having the exact same problem, my original htc weather widget shows only "Sweden". This happened since the upgrade to 2.2.
I'm pretty sure the weather information is correct though. Since I've compared it to other weather apps and widgets. I've switched to beautiful widgets temporarily (well for a couple of months now), and there it shows even the parts of stockholm if I move around. Right now it's showing Fruängen which is correct.
I remember reading about some problem with the htc weather widget long ago on the modaco forums when 2.2 came. I don't think it's fixed yet (at least from HTCs side).

Yeah. That was my argument too when I spoke to HTC, but they said it's Googles fault even though Google maps finds my location correctly. They didn't accept it as their fault and therefore they didn't even file a report about it to the developers.
Badly handled HTC!

Hello,
I've got a similar problem with weather widget and location too...
I went to a small village for Christmas and since this time, my location in the widget is locked at this village.
When I open the weather app, I can see my good location very quickly, but after the refresh the location returns to the bad village.
And my location in google maps or in google’s website is good...
I have the same problem I have to delete all data for weather and clock and update it again. anyone have any idea why this happen?

I had this problem to but when I was in another country. When I got back home everything went back to normal. I have no idea of how to fix it. Try wiping all cache or reinstall the locations app.

Since the latest OTA update the current location on the weather app is stuck on one location. Even if I'm in London it will show Basingtoke. It updates for a moment and then reverts back to the old location. Anyone else finding this? Has a fix been worked out?
Thanks
Have same issue.
I can't imagine this is anything to do with hardware, though if its software related surely everyone would have it?
Have you checked yours? go on.. ave a look

Same problem here. Besides that, after the new OTA, Locations widget never shows that cup of coffe? wich indicates my possition on the widget, I have to tap the widget (wich, by the way, updates forever) to see the map and my position. My only hope is that the future Gingerbread update will fix that since HTC won't release another update soon.
Has EVERYONE with the new update this issue?
Or are there some users with the new ota update which DON'T have this issue?
Did a factory reset helped to get rid of the issue?
Mine is with the new OTA update. HTC said my phone needed to be sent back to them to be flashed to the previous firmware. Stuff that! i flashed it again myself and the problem remains. must be a bug in the new firmware?
I suspect that this new firmware has some nasty bugs and I think that's not HTC's fault. I belive this is an Android problem because in the last week I saw many complains regarding similar problems from people with various devices (Droid, Nexus, Galaxy etc). What makes me wonder is why HTC continues to roll this OTA since they've got so many complains about it
Guys
If it is of any use to you, I had the same problems, with it losing my correct location in the Weather screen. I reinstalled 'Location' under settings, and all was fixed. Where previously it had just listed 'Current Location' in the Weather screen, it now locates the phone properly, with my current town
I have never had this problem after the update.

I just re-installed and rebooted and still not working. I've instead installed Fancy Widget 1.3.0 which looks identical. HTC banned this from the market because it looks to similar to thier widget. At least Fancy Widget works!
Me neither, i don't have this issue after OTA (but I have the sms one...)
If you go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > HTC Weather Sync Provider and click "clear data" it resolves the issue.
Just seems to have got stuck due to the update (for some people)

I had the issue and it resolved it for me, but I havent changed location since I did this so I'm not sure if it will just get stuck in my current location when I go elsewhere
Sorry. Doesn't work. Changed location and its stuck again

Tried that, it got rid of my holiday location and has now replaced it with London. However the clock widget shows Poplar (which is more accurate) and when pressing on the weather widget, it first shows Poplar (Current) and then it updates and switches to London (Current).
I'll see if it ever changes from London tomorrow.
Cheers for the suggestion, at least it got rid of my holiday destination.
can people confirm if clearing the "HTC Weather Sync " solves this issue ?
It did work in my case. Everything is back to normal now.
I reset mine as you suggested today. Now I'm in another town its displaying the location I was in earlier today. Seems you have to reset overtime you move location.
I did a factory reset the problem still there. also if you delete the data only update once after you go to another town you have to do it again.
