OK sussed it... I was looking at the UK & IR Accuweather site not the international one. Still couldn't see the code in the link djstegges posted though.

Anyway, the link for the city I want is...

http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|UK|UK181|Norwich

So the line I added to my xml file was...

<city name="Norwich, UK" locationcode="EUR|UK|UK181|Norwich"/>

but I constantly get the error..

unable to retrieve data for selected city.

Can anyone see what I've done wrong? all other UK citys that were included work fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pisquee:
Yeah, tried Gateshead and got that error, so tried Newcastle instead, and still the error.

Argh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Funky B:
It is possible to edit the dll to point towards another site like forecastfox to retrieve the varibles but you won't be able to sign HTCHome.dll. The only way to sign the file is to wrap it in a cab (or exe) but then it won't overwrite any system files in /windows

The HTC gets its updates from this URL, below is a typical US city, so if you take that url and put in ur browser

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|FL|MIAMI

you`ll get the XML that the plugin pulls, so if you put it in and your city doesnt show any weather data and just shows this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="latin1" ?>

- <weather>

<copyright>2007 AccuWeather, Inc All Rights Reserved.</copyright>

<usage>HTC Pocket PC Weather Forecast</usage>

</weather>

that means there is no data for the city, so it doesnt mean anything when you change stuff around if there is no data for the city you are with out the weather and have to use the closest city :( (like me with NY)

If i`m wrong some one please correct me. Thank you

cannot save the xml file

hi,

i tried to edit the xml file, and when i want to copy it back to the windows-dir on my tytn its not possible because there seems to be a lock on the file. what can i do?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] djblu:
And I'm back... sorry for the delayed response....

I use total commander. It never fails, and is extremely solid/stable in every OS I've had thus far. WM2003SE, WM5 & WM6

Easy for who? I came up with this little fix on an a whim based on a hunch... took me all of 45 seconds to do and then another 4 minutes to get results from a few others around the world. Fussing with that xml file however absorbed a far greater amount of time... probably because nobody lists any detailed step by step instructions on how to perform something like that so that everyone, even noobs, can benefit from the knowledge. Condisention doesn't make for a positive educational environment... even though we all know: everybody's got a little "smart a$$ b!tc#" buried deep in side them somewhere... lol

Okay, so as far as the question of data, all I can tell you is what I did to verify. I went to accuweather.com, and did locate Portland, Or. Actually I went to http://htc.accuweather.com or something like that... to verify that it was indeed reporting on my city. So YES, you should verify that your city has a live report available via accuweather in order to obtain the information correctly... and then just follow the instructions and you should be good to go... It's still working flawlessly on mine, and I'm running BlackMajik [little bit of a JJ fan... or jj Junkie as some say]

Thanks! I gotta do something to contribut around here... BTW: anyone know of a music remixing program for the pocket PC? I'm actually a real DJ, so I'd love any ideas or tips.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: ABOUT THE XML FILE ALTERING!

Uhm... people; does anyone notice any common results when making changes to that damn file, if you can manage to save them in the first place?

IT SCREW UP A LOT MORE THAN JUST YOUR CITY

So really, the way I first described is the idiot proof, no permenant damage causing, method to get your city. I promise, you can't do any harm to anything following my method... if you did, you didn't follow the instructions...

kind of like when I bricked my first Wizard...I didn't follow the damn instructions... which were clearly printed in front of me... thank heavens Cingular is dumb... and 5 more Wizards later, once I'd gotten them all figured out.... I got upgraded to a Hermes [8525].

More questions? let me know

PS:

Cingular/The New AT&T = The AntiChrist of the Wireless Industry.... so whats that say about the iPhone... hmm

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
I've read somewhwre here on xdadev that some cities in the world are simply not working with this plugin. I.e. the weather is not updating, after u add the city by editing the .xml doc. Error: Unable to retrieve data for selected city. Cant anybody find a solution for this? its rather stupid and frustrating. Did any of you encounter this problem as well?

thanks,

io
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoharbl:
You are correct, but djblu (at begining of this thread) gave us a nice workaround. Just find the proper location by searching on the web the correct code of your city.

Zohar
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
Thanks for your info. i found my city code, its EUR|RO|RO010|BUCHAREST. Unfortunately it doesnt update the weather. Indeed, i didnt do it via the method described in the first post, but rather with the .xml editing. but by reading all other posts, it seems its the same result, just a different approach. ill try it the other way as well, but i wanted to know if any of you got this problem as well.

thanks,

io
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
The problem is that the plugin gets the weather details from http://htc.accuweather.com/ not from the global accuweather website, and all the cities are not available this way.

For example Toulouse data in France is grabed from http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=EUR|FR|FR016|TOULOUSE

And Figeac where I live should be :

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=EUR|FR|FR016|FIGEAC but it doesn't work.

It work for some cities, but not all!

We need to wait that HTC add more cities to their website to get small cities working.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
Thnaks for your explanation. Unfortunately this goes out for not only small cities, but also Bucharest, 3 mil people, capital city of Romania. Anyway, it seems theres not much we can do about it.

Isnt there a way we can map the HTC Home plugin to a different weather source? im sure this has been asked before and most probably the answer is NO.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] D@rk_4ngel:
Guys.. This works 100%

I could never get weather for Cape Town, South Africa working with the xml edit.. But this does the trick! Weather is updating fine..

Thanx loads djblu!!!!!!! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
Doesnt work for me. actually by editing the .xml file, the LocationCode in the registry was already set to Bucharest, so I think it makes no difference which option one choses. Still, no go for Bucharest. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DannyBoy:
Right click the file on your pc and select properties.

Then remove the tick from read-only.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DannyBoy:
Right click the file on your pc and select properties.

Then remove the tick from read-only.

Failing that... once you've done editing your xml choose "save as" instead of save then save it in a new location. This new file won't be read only by default.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 100Tbps:
You're 100% right and it's amazing to me how many people are missing this fact.

Until someone can figure out how to get the plugin to point to something other than the htc subdomain on accuweather, we will be limited about which cities will work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
yes and it is really amazing since HTC has official distributors here in Romania, they sell pdas like crazy, so they should at least cover this up, be it only for the Touch model, the only official HTC phone (as far as i know) which has the "official" HTC Home Plugin.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tonyb15re:
Anyone know how to get rid of this option, its pretty useless unless you're in a major city in the UK, I've tried a number of options for cities close to where I live all of which fail...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ghufi:
hi dannyboy,

thanks for the reply. i tried this, but it does not do what i want. :) the file is read-only and system-file. if i remove the read-only flag, the file still is read-only, so it never updates the state of the file. i'm using vista, maybe this is also a problem. to see the windows folder of the device i had to change folder properties of my vista. and still i cannot delete the file from the pda. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoharbl:
Hi,

It didn't work since you put a wrong code...

it should be EUR|RO|RO010|BUCURESTI (not BUCHAREST) write the Romanian pronunciation instead of international one.

Good luck, mult success :-)

try putting the xml file in some random folder like documents or on the memory card, then copy-paste it from the device itself rather than from windows (this way works for sure)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ghufi:
sorry, but this does also not work. ".. could not be copied. access is denied. .....

seems that there is another lock on the file, maybe its in use or something like that. i checked the open programs, but there is nothing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DannyBoy:
Not sure exactly what's happeneing but to make sure you bypass anything windows fail safes try this..

Open notepad

copy the xml file from your device to your pc

right click on the xml file and select "open with" > notepad

select all the text and copy it

Goto the blank notepad you opened and paste the text into that.

Save this file as HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to a new location

(make sure it does not save as a .txt extention)

Put it into the Windows folder on your device.

Edit... just re-read your problem and I may have mis-understood. Is it getting the file off your device that is the problem?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] djblu:
okay... really though. I would urge you to perhaps focus a bit more of your energy into perhaps breaking down the htc home plugins raw code and compile an appropriate method of translation in order for the redirecting of the weather source to take place. this might just actually provide you with your solution a lot faster than whining about it. nobody said it's a permenant solution, as stated in the thread, it's a work around... and it just so happens that it doesn't work around Bucharest... probably because it doesn't like people who'd rather whine, than put forth the effort to self educate and expend a little personal effort in the matter for the purpose of bettering ones own knowledge of the matter.

Continuing to expect the rest of the world to do the work for the answers you seek fates you into a self imposed life of mediocrity & dissapointment.

After all, look at what happened to Anna Nicole Smith...

HELLO!!!!!

OK, now i understand why the cooks get so flippin frustrated with all of us all the time. What the hell is wrong with you people? Did you completely miss the entire post that started this thread? NO XML EDITING!? Your talking about error codes from a damn process that has nothing to do with this work around!!!! if you can't even follow then simple concepts behind a forum, then really, rethink owning your phone... you should go back to the default Nokia from 10 years ago. if you have something to contribute based even loosely on the method outlined in the first post, then great... bring it on. If you are however to busy to pay attention to the damn topic of the thread instead of maybe taking your posts to the appropriate one that deals with the xml file issues...

I'm just going to stop there. If you don't get the point... well then you have a rough life ahead of you... and i find that type of blatant self induced need for lunacy, well a bit vexing.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnyvaughan:
this has been mentioned before in this thread, but...

The address the plugin uses to obtain weather information is:

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=

Stick your loc code on the end of that url to see whether you'll be able to get weather information for your location. For some reason the site doesn't give you access to all of the accuweather locations, just a limited selection. There are a few sites in the UK that work.

I'm not sure what the 'ac' variable is in the url but if you change it you get redirected to 127.0.0.1.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zost:
Solutions and limits

I've played a bit with weather settings in HTC Home plugin. Conclusions are:

1) The way proposed by djblu works. The drawback is that you must hack regustry every time when you change location and you wish to go back to a previous (hacked) location. (BTW: change firstly "LocationCode" in registry, then change "Location").

2) As described by Oliy in other thread, the best way is to modify file "HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml" in Windows folder in your PDA. Do that in your PC with any good editor. I'm using UltraED. For every city you must enter new line, as

<city name="Athens, GR"	locationcode="EUR|GR|GR007|ATHINAI"/>

City names and location codes could be found on web page as described in 3).

3) Both the ways (as described in 1) and 2)) do the same - you can get weather data only for the cities listed on the address http://www.accuweather.com/world-favorite-cities.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&region=eur. That is for Europe, other continents and countries could be found easily on that page.

Bucaresti (for ionutz6) and other places in Romania are also listed.

4) When you finish with "HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml" you have to overwrite existing file in Windows folder on your PDA.

BEFORE THAT YOU MUST UNCHECK "HTC Home" ON YOUR PDA (Start/Settings/Personal/Today/Items).

5) I didn't find how to get data for the places other than listed as in 3), although it is possible for literally the smallest villages through PC and accuweather.com.

Hey there, cannot find the answers anywhere or the option to "add a phone" in the forum categories, probably because it would end up in a mess if everybody could do it.

So what is the procedure to add a phone in the forum categories if it's not a popular phone like Samsung or HTC? That way phone owners can subscribe and answer any questions about it or read any news, so if someone knows about a new ROM for this phone, all the subscribers could know about it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vulcan4d:
Hello gents,

before you dismiss yet another S4 WiFi issue related post, keep in mind I am a Network Administrator for a living. What I do know well is wireless, what I don't is why my and many other's S4s are plagued with the WiFi issue.

If one is to search Galaxy S4 wifi problems, you will find a whack load of results with basic answers that don't resolve the issue. I am one of the lucky owners of a I337m Galaxy S4 that is a perfect phone, except the WiFi is absolute wonkers. My S4 is extremely inconsistent with being able to connect to 2.4Ghz networks, though 5Ghz is fine. I have attached a gif as an example of what occurs, though the signal is strong it refuses to connect instantly or gives "authentication error". There are good days, there are bad, but mostly bad.

I even gone as far as taking the phone apart and replacing the WiFi antenna with an external modified version, trust me it is NOT an antenna issue. I came across a youtube video of a fella with an i9505 who claimed to be able to fix the wifi issue by changing the baseband. This I would love to try though as far as I know there is only one baseband for the Canadian S4 if I read the forum posts correctly. At&t has a few which I wouldn't mind trying, but is it possible to flash the baseband from Bell to At&t (i337m to i337)? Would that even affect the Wireless functionality in the phone, or is it purely for the cellular network?

Prior to getting my G4, I was using a Samsung GS4. With the GS4, you could add trusted contacts to an "ICE" group (ICE= In Case of Emergency) and they would show up in the emergency dialer even when the phone was locked.

Is this not not possible with Lollipop on the G4?
