Free Weather App?
 

I searched here and over on pcc6700users and came up with Tonya (sp?) and WeatherPanel, last time I had WeatherPanel downloaded it was error after error.

Is there any other free today screen weather apps out there?

I would stick with WP. Many users on this forum have it and it works near flawless. I've not heard of anyone experiencing repeated errors. What sort of errors did you get? How long ago were you using it? What version?

hey
 

I use adb weather plus. free and works like a champ. goto happyjackroad.com
they will have the .cab there to install

I didnt want to buy weatherpanel so I was using their trial.

Ill try the adb weather plus and see if that works out for me.

Any others?

i see that adb allows for custom skins like weather plus. does anybody have them? i searched on here and didnt find any

hmm
 

I don't have skins for it but its a good prog. brings up satellite and radar images as well. if you come across skins lemme know. pm me. I would love to change it up a little!

Re: hmm
 

I'm loving it so far. anybody fee like making some. it gives info on the site on how to load them

I don't think anyone has tried, or at least most of us, that weather app since all of us use WP and storyr has done an amazing job with skins and enhancements.

darn, maybe he will want to get more creative and put some out for adb

i use one called weather watcher....its free and it has a great ui...

searched cant find...link?

speaking of weatherpanel, is there a DST update for it?

You don't need a DST update for WP, it takes the date/time from the device so as long as the device is patched you should be ok.

weird, cause mine's not, but i have all my patches.

Do you have it set to display the "updated" time?

Late,
Coz

I didn't do the patch till late this afternoon. Before the patch, WP is showing the updated time but the device is one hour late. The patch was easy as 123. :D

yep. i even double checked to see if my patches were installed by trying to install them again. it only had an option to repair or remove, so i'm guessing i did it right the first time. still no go. all the patches were just from the m$ site, right?

ok, get this... setting local time puts it one hour ahead. setting updated time puts it one hour behind. i like setting it to local time because it shows the time for the corresponding city (kind of like world clock).

is there a way to check on the device itself if updates were installed properly? thanks.

Did you follow all the steps on MS site for the DST update? After installing the CAB you needed to switch your time zone and then change it back to yours.

Remember updated time will show the time when WP last updated.

After you install an app at then it should actually tell you that the app was installed succesfully, then you click OK and are taken back to the Today screen.

thanks for everyone's responses. i've actually remember doing this step awhile back, but when i noticed weatherpanel was not updated, i went back to the MS website yesterday for the updates again. this step no long exists.

*update* alright! got it to work! i did install it correctly, but for some reason weatherpanel only kicked in correctly after i toggled time zones and use network time around. thanks again!
