Help! Weather Won't Update WinMo6.5 Sprint

JohnMcD348 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-2010, 08:22 PM

As far as I know, this has only started today. My Weather won't update. It has stayed on the night time reading and when I try to update it, I get a Connection Error with the report:" There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?"

When I tap Yes, I still get the error. I turned off the phone and turned it back on and it did update for that current weather. But, when I tried to update it again, I still get the Error Message.

Any ideas?

I would suggest deleting your location, then adding it again.

dont worry man, ive been through this, it happens from time to time lol... the problem is the weather server that sense uses is down or something. there is nothing wrong with your tp2. give it a few days and it should be working. its happened to me a couple times and not even hard resets will fix it.

OK, thanks for the info. I tried Googling and searching but all the threads I found were 2-3 years old or more.

heres what i do when i experience this first hit start then settings>today>items and uncheck sense to turn it off then open file explorer and navigate to \My device\application data\htc\databases then delete that forecast cache file. after than re enable sense and the weather should update now

Hey, I bet you could set that file or folder as a custom file to clean with ClearTemp or something.

the question is whether you could run it with weather (sense) running...

it wouldn't work without disabling sense first because the file is in use but its worth a try.

I'm with puff, this happens often and is usually because the server is down.

I tried eric's trick and it didn't work.

Then I remembered if you run JVH weather city editor you can change servers. I had switched to conflipper because not2advanced was so unreliable in the past. I switched back to not2advanced and I've got weather again.
It would appear to me that conflipper is down and has been down for a couple days.
