RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Since I got my Tp2 yesterday, I tried to install TFDetacher and Weather Panel on my device, but my device got messed up somehow in the installation procee. I went ahead and hard reset last night and I stumbled across this app at XDA.

Basically what it does is installs a new tab in TF3D that is dedicated to weather panel.

I was very excited to come across the app and it works great with my Sprint TP2.

The only issue I've seen is that the manilla icon does not match my custom slider icon set (no biggie however).

Just figured I would share here.

that looks pretty cool.

I am running weather panel from a 2nd today screen mapped to the right soft key right now, but I think I'll give this a try & check it out.

Pretty good looking! Will try this later.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Oh, I was using GPS Weather Radar (http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/dow...her-radar.html), and it's really cool. I like the link you provided, I'm going to check that tab out.

jmorton, what weather panel are you running? I've seen screenshots of your today screen with Weather as your right soft key, but I don't know where that goes. Can you post a screenshot of the weather panel?

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I swap back & forth between PhatPhinger & the Diamond themes. My soft key opens a 2nd today screen & then there are lots of other screens (radar, traffic cams etc) that will open from there:

I could have used this coming home on 490 today!

i'm sure you'll pop up on waze eventually then!

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

i stumbled upon this today as well. I installed it and am loving it. I like it much better than the default weather tab. i have removed the weather tab and use this instead since it actually has my city's weather. great find.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I'm trying to install RadarWeather but I get an error saying that I need a newer version of micrsoft.net framework. I downloaded what looks to be the latest version from microsoft, but I don't know what to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Having the same problem.

I have Verizon.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Just dump the cab (I'm assuming it's net3.5) into your storage card, click it to run/load and that's basically it.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Anyone know how to add new locations or radar images other than during the first set up????

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I was hoping it was that easy, but I couldn't find a cab only a setup file from microsoft that I can't do anything with. I get a message saying "There is no application associated with NETCFSetupv35. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application". I tried copying the file into the RadarWeather file, but that does nothing.

Edit: I found the cab here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=64985

Now I'm running the setup.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Yes...

How to add additional radars to your city.

When you get it installed, you will need to click on the button that looks like a power button.

That will take you to another page with 8 icons on top. The bottom right buttom looks like a part of a sprocket or something, click that.

Go to settings. On the next page, highlight your current city on the Edit button. That will then activate your soft keyboard and the title of the page should say WeatherPanel: Add City

Click on the button "Weather Images"

Click on "Add New" button.

At this point, you can just have a url already copied in your clipboard and paste it in the URL text field and click ok.

You then should be able to click through the url's you entered and can have up to 8 different URL's of weather or traffic cams or whatever you want in there.

Is this crushing anybody else's battery? I installed this around 5 PM yesterday, and by 9 PM was down to 30% (full charge as of 4:30). This morning the phone had powered itself off (that hasn't happened since the day I got it).

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I've had WP installed in my Windows Roms for a couple of years now. I don't think my battery drain is worse than before, but perhaps I am used to it?

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

My battery life is fine with WP installed (WAY better than my old TP's). I still have WP running from a 2nd today screen, not the tab setup that this provides but I don't see why that should matter??

I may get around to trying this new setup today, but my current setup works so well it didn't seem real important to get to it right away.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Did a hard reset today (many things installed/uninstalled since I got it so I figured I'd start with a clean slate) and reinstalled this. Won't know if the battery drain is an anomoly until after work today...but does anyone else get errors when they reset the device or reset TouchFlo? Maybe the custom height is just a tad too big (it barely overlaps the menu slider; I'm going to try dropping it down a tad from 620).

Once you hit 'send' or 'dont send', TouchFlo loads up normally, and everything seems fine.

Instead of putting this in the new 'Today' tab, I had it load in the Weather tab and I hide the extra 'Today' tab.

I live out by Utica, I miss Rochester like a fat kid on a cupcake. I went to SUNY Brockport and worked in Greece. I am confused though, what program are you doing your traffic cams and stuff with. Is it a program or an actual theme? I thought you might have been using weather panel but a screen shot I just saw didn't look like this. I do apologize but I'm kinda new to this.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I installed it yesterday and so far no problems. There's a LOT to learn on it. I haven't used WP in so long. Anyway, no battery drain issues as of yet. And installation worked just as expected as long as you follow his directions to the letter. I experience a crash running the configuration program when saving, but the changes still take effect.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Poor you. I spent 4 years outside of Utica; only good thing to come out of there is Saranac.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I was in Utica last weekend to watch a college football game my son was playing in.

That is weather panel in the screen shots. You are seeing shots from two different themes in those shots however.

I swap back & forth between two different themes. The first two screen shots are from rumball's Diamond theme & the last shot is from the VGA PhatPhinger. I like the PhatPhinger theme as it gives much more detailed forecasts than the other themes, but I really like the look of rumball's Diamond theme & run that quite a bit also.

I actually run the Diamond theme most of the time as it looks really cool & the traffic cam shots are bigger (then I use Weather Underground for detailed forecasts). You have to manually set up the url for the traffic cams the first time you install it, there are 8 panels & each one will accept a traffic cam or radar image etc. I have the reg entry saved for those now, so everytime I reinstall it I just import that reg key & it's good to go again.

Yea Utica isn't the greatest place. Some of the surrounding area's are nicer, New Hartford, Whitesboro for instance. I live North of Utica near the entrance of the adirondack park.

And you are right, the best part of living here is I can go to the brewery every weekend for tours and tasting. They dont skip, you get two tickets for 16oz glasses of beer!!!!!:headbang: $5.00 for the tour and the two tickets equals out to $2.50 for a saranac draft at the brewery. You can't get that from a bar for a bottle!

John, thanks for explaining how that works for me. I do appreciate it.

Yes all of upstate NY needs to be blown up. Just please wait until I move to PA first.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I went to Hamilton in the early 90's, and one of my good friends was a tour guide...we used to go every weekend, skip the tour and head right to the free sample portion. We got WAY more than 2 each!

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I have everything installed with the Phatphinger Theme, but everytime I try to add a radar or webcam that isn't the one that is built into WeatherPanel it won't display. Any idea's. I'd like to put up a weatherbug mobile radar and a couple of the cams from Rochester.

Nice program. I just installed it

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

is there anyway to post a link to the 2nd today screen, weather panel, and traffic cams youre using...or anyone for that matter...also, what is this :phatfinger" thing ur referring to

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

all of the people here who live in rochester, ny is funny. I live in Rochester and work in Fairport...small world.

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

Yeah is there a way to make one of the soft keys to open up radar?

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

I think the battery issue people are reporting is how they have the auto update set. I have mine set to every 4 hours. I should keep battery life good.. I think the default is every 30 minutes to update and that will KILL the battery.

Does anyone know how to fix it on the TP2 so that when you are on this weather screen you can hit all programs and it will actually come up without it being hidden behind the weather?? also how did people REPLACE the TF3D weather with this??

Re: RadarWeather v1.0 - advanced weather tab for TF3D - WVGA
 

john and i are using weatherpannel by storyr, search the themes forums or wp on the sites search engin, "phatfinger" is one of the themes were using, to activate wp, i use "secondtoday" which will assign a softkey to run. i use the voicecommand longpress to activate my secondtoday because i need my softkeys and never use voicecommand.
