Home Weather City Change??

is there anyway to switch the "My Location" on the home screen to a manually inputed city? My Location doesn't work and staring at a blank weather tab is really depressing...

Re: Home Weather City Change??

I haven't seen anything but mine would never show one either. I think it was because none of the cities around me could be added to the weather tab. There's a cab around that I installed that adds a ton more locations and after that my location always worked for me. I don't remember the exact name and don't have it with me to post but it was by Conflipper. I know that doesn't answer your question exactly but I can post the cab later if you can't find it.

Go to the weather tab, click on menu than add location.

Re: Home Weather City Change??

Then go back to the home tab, tap the clock and then choose the new city.

Here is the editor, but doesn't work with Sense on, it will shut it off for you. I think you have to go to accuweather and enter your location, see how your city is spelled and enter it like that. I just find a city in my state and hit menu>Copy and just put my city name (in CAPS) on the bottom line and the city name in the fashion you want to see it in on the middle line. I tried that add all cities, but it kept crashing and rebooting my TP2. So I deleted it.

Re: Home Weather City Change??

Are u a U.S.Cellular customer?
If yes then you to have to wait couples weeks before u can see the weather tab working again for you.
I was having the same issue, and when i contacted the USCC customer care, they told me that they are facing some location update problems on HTC.
But in the mean time if wanna try, you can update ur location and weather in weather tab by using wifi (disconnect the data connection and turn on wifi). Trust me on this. It worked for me.

Re: Home Weather City Change??

Here's a link to Conflippers thread, IIRC when I used it, it lagged at first due to the number of cities loaded, but it did speed up. There is also a program for adding in even the smallest town, but I don't have it with me at work or on my mobile, so if you need it, I'll post it up later. You also have to use total commander to change a manila file from read only. If conflippers app doesn't work, let me know and I'll get you the info on adding your individual town.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=81108

Edit: I just took a look at the cab that Oditus posted above, I believe that is the editor I used, and IIRC you need to go into /windows w/ total commander and change the attirbutes for 2330fc3c_manila to archive and system, NOT read only and dump it back into /windows. Then you can use the editor without problems.

Yes I am on USCC, and you said that it just takes a couple weeks and the weather will start to update again? I JUST got off the phone with USCC because the guy yesterday told me I could replace my phone but now a diff guy is saying I'm stuck with this "no weather update" problem until HTC does something about it...

I've been stuck with this problem for about, mmm I wanna say 2 weeks? give or take a few days, it's summer so my days are hazy and blended together if you catch my drift so it's hard to determine when this exactly happened because I just thought it was a problem with the ROM so I didn't pay attention to it when it started messing up.

I don't have Wifi anywhere near me, but I'll try swinging by a starbucks or something that does have it and try getting it that way. thanks for the tip never thought of using wifi!

And yeah they said because I'm on the border of 2 time zones, the weather tab draws data from both zones, and screws up or something...

Re: Home Weather City Change??

WOW I don't know what happened, but I tried turning on Wifi to find a signal, no signal -.-, so I was like eh, let's try it, went to weather, data connection turned on, it finds my location exactly and weather downloads.... I have no idea what fixed it, but my weather is working now... Thanks for all the tips everyone, i'll keep them in mind next time i have another weather related problem!
