Weather Screen Won't Update

dcurry · #1 (**permalink**) 11-30-2010, 07:31 AM

The Weather tab on my Boost TP2 WM6.5 Stock HTC ROM stopped updating on the "other" 6 locations I have loaded (my current location updates fine). When I try to manually update, I get a window that says "Connection Error. There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?" Retries fail. I looked for the Weather program to see if I could reload it but I couldn't find it. Any suggestions on how to get it working again? Thanks.

could be a "glitch" on there end for your city, has it been doing this long? maybe give it a day if it just started.

About two weeks.

I didn't want to delete the file so I renamed it and did a soft reset. No change -- weather still won't update. Would it make a difference if I moved it instead of renaming it?

If my weather database was down, everybody's would be, right? Is anybody else's down?

You do not have to delete the manila file provided with conflippers cab. I still have his manila file for the added city but dont use his server

It doesn't matter why he wants it. It's his business.
