Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Hello all, I am very new here and did my searching before posting. I have dug through the registry for about an hour and could not find anything that seemed to be related to the time interval for the weather to update. It seems the default is about every three hours. I would love to be able to change this to about every 30 minutes.

Any clues?


Thanks in advance

I would like this also!

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I third this. I got up this morning and it had not been updated in 5 hours. I like to get up and look at the weather where I am.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

hopefully someone can find the fix in the registry

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

on settings -> today -> items there is a dropdown "today timeout" i am wandering if that is the timer that refreshes the today screen?????

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

That option determines how long, if ever, it takes for the phone to revert back to the today screen from whichever program/screen it's currently in.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

there should be an option for you to be able to set when you want it automatically updated, i.e. 30 mins, 1 hr.

I really hope there is a fix out there for this. Someone please find it.

This looks interesting, looks to allow update interval specification and is tested and working on Verizon TP2 with stock ROM. My only beef is that I'm not interested in running the theme.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I am really hoping that someone has a fix for this. It can become really bothering when your on a long road trip and it doesn't update your city either until you manually go into the weather tab and hit update.

I will spend another hour or two on it this weekend, but I am new to the smart phone thing. All I am really doing is using Total Commander to manually search the registry. I have just search for things that look relevant, but perhaps I will be more thorough this weekend.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

it has to be there somewhere, we just have to find it. I would love to change the option to like 30mins.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

It may be hard coded into the app and not in the registry. If so it would take deeper hacking of the exe file or something to find it.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

did anyone find anything on this?

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

not yet, but alot of us are still wondering

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Found a key in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila called Home_WeatherClock_CheckTime that would seem to be what we're looking for, however the value is in pure HEX code and even translating them to Decimal I'm not seeing values that seems like something I would expect.

The HEX value is:

D9 07 0C 00 04 00 0A 00 13 00 2E 00 23 00 00 00

If anyone wants to see if they can figure it out go for it. It would be nice to decipher it and be able to set the interval to whatever the user wants.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

The TP2 doesn't even have that entry.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I am just surprised that nobody has found a fix to this yet with any of the recent HTC phones. I figure this would be a big want

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Well well well, someone finally cracked this. Check it out.

Cab files in that thread as well if you don't want to manually edit the registry.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Did u try it Fwaits???????

and another great find by you !!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I did and it seems to work fine. I setup the key with a 60 minute interval and it updated just a while ago on schedule.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I'm trying the 15 minute one right now. Just so i can test it. Then I'll probably switch to an hour.

thanks again

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Changed mine to 15 then to 5 and it still is not updating at those intervals.
I just checked and its been 44 minutes since it updated right now.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

30 min. cab didn't work for me.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Was there anything special that you did extra? Doesn't seem to be working for anyone else.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Didn't work for me either. I downloaded the 15 minute cab and tried. then manually changed to 30 minutes. Nothing!!!!!!

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Yeah I have to admit upon watching it for a while now it doesn't seem to be auto-updating for me either. I'll check in over at the XDA thread and see if it's known or perhaps it's not the same fix for Imagio's as it is for other devices.

My guess is it's a difference in TouchFlo 2.0 vs Sense 2.1/2.5 as that's where this regedit came from.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Installed the 15min cab.. Doesn't work for me either

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

I went in to my registry, and that key isn't even there.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Yeah, says to add the key, which I did. And it does not work for me either.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Not working here either. Added the key manually and tried the cab.

Re: Change TF3D Weather Update Interval
 

Added key, does not work.
