Adding Cities Still not working

ejoshkim · #1 (**permalink**) 03-28-2009, 05:39 PM

As per instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...eatherdatabase I've tried to add my city to no avail.
(Yes I did install .net framework and the city edit program)

for the city code I've tried the following

NAM|US|CA|LACRESCENTA
NAM|US|CA|LA CRESCENTA
NAM|US|CA|LA%20CRESCENTA
NAM|US|CA|91214
91214

None of these city codes are working. Am I missing something?

I've done for the same for the city of san fernando. what is going on? Can someone help or point me to the right direction?

i dunno why you're having those problems cuz i just added your city and it works. i'm using the 1.1 modified.cab with netcf 3.5

Try this cab file. it already has La Crescenta.

Try the underscore between LA_CRESCENTA

i didn't use underscore. i just used State: CA, city: La Crescenta, Code: NAM|US|CA|LA CRESCENTA

yeah usually the underscore doesn't work but on occasion it has... I don't see why the zip didn't work, that seems to be the most reliable method.

Accuweather online shows a dash la-crescenta

Like Yearn says, just use the Weather Database he posted. It has like every city and if not you can add it easily.

I ran your cab and when I go to the weather it keeps crashing my touchflo. So, I started to play around with it and what I finaly got to work was to use my database (the original 2330fc3c_manila with my city added) and your registry weather URL.

If I use your URL it works fine, if I don't use it, it won't update the weather. The only thing difference from the pre-packaged weather is that I added this to the database:

NAM|US|FL|FRUITLAND PARK
(I have also tried it with the zip and also with an underscore instead of spaces).

And am running with your URL.

Any idea what is being sent back differently than the stack URL? Or why it will work with your server but not Accuweathers?

And maybe this work around will help if anyone else is having troubles.

Thanks!
