Minor issue, but would like it. :)

Ok, currently I'm trying to flash to the WM6.1 using the current kitchen. But to no avail, so in the meantime, I've been tweaking and updating my Apache on Alltel. I've got my MMS to work correctly, I've done some reg tweaks, and changed some settings. But no matter what I do I cannot get the Accuweather plugin to connect and download the weather info. I have to go through the access shop to see the weather for my area. However, through wifi or through the data connection I can access the internet and all. Right before I tried the 6.1 update the first time I got the weather to update once. I don't know what I did or if I tilted my head just right or what.. It did update though. Since then I've done all the same changes I have in the past and still can't get it to connect and download the info. This is a minor thing, but I'd like to have it.

Nevermind I just figured it out!!!

I was playing with it while connected via activesync, and the internet prompt came up for me to put in my password for the data connection so it could download my data..
So when the prompt came up I hit cancel and it updated through my active sync...now to get it to my town..lol

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

If anyone knows of how to, or has found a link that will show the city codes I'd greatly appreciate it. This seems to be the focal point on the plugin to get the information.

BTW I have tried to update the Home page & used HHC to try to update to my city, but to no avail. Any Home update removes my HTC Home, but leaves the other items. I'll try messing with it again later but this is what I have found so far.

Hope this helps some of you
