Here's what I have found out:
This I know works on a
HTC Apache with
Helmi's WM 6.0 with
ACCUWEATHER 1.0 on it.
To get the weather this is what I had to do:
Setup your data connection to require you to enter the password (if you don't know how see below)
Plug in your phone to active sync let it start to sync and finish
Make sure your PC is connected to the internet
While it's still connected to the internet & your phone is to the PC
Click your weather plugin to update the weather
When the data connection pops up asking for your password click cancel
Give it time and it should update
It worked on mine, even by changing cities a few times.
To Set your Data connection to ask for a password:
Go to Settings --> connections tab-->Connections
Select Manage Existing Connections under your Internet provider connection
Click Edit with your Data connection link selected
Click Next
Click Next
Then you should be at your Username/Password/ & domain screen
Delete your password and click finish
REMEMBER TO ADD THIS BACK IN AFTERWARDS IF YOU DO NOT WANT IT TO PROMPT YOU EACH TIME FOR NOW ON
I've looked into trying to go through the registry to change the city on my Apache, but so far to no avail. I can get the name to change and everything, but there is a city index that controls your information on the weather, so if that doesn't match the city you change to you won't get any info.
Here's the path if going through the registry editor:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHOME\WEATHER\SETTINGS\
CITYINDEX = Custom number from Accuweather for your city
Location = City, COUNTRY (For example: Dallas, US)
LocationCODE = NAM|COUNTRY|STATE|CITY (Example: NAM|US|TX|DALLAS)
To find your Location Code go to
www.accuweather.com
put in your city and search for it
the last little bit of the URL is the Location Code which should look like the info above.
I honestly don't know how to find the cityindex or I'd post that too. I know a few codes, but I'm not sure how they get that number. Short of calling Accuweather and asking them about it I don't know what to tell you.
City codes available are only from switching to that city and looking in the registry:
Dallas, TX = 659
Shreveport, LA = 2548
Hope this helps some of you
