@caicai: thanks for the excellent outline. Had been missing steps 3 & 4. I was able to sign the cert to the .dll and now n2a's weather is working on my device!

Would I be correct to assume that you're not using the $5.99 t-zones?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
Your correct, I'm on the $29.99 unlimited internet & hot spots plan.

I believe that's what PocketHosts actually does, but it's a tad easier.

Now THAT is weird. I'll have a pop at debugging it when I get a mo. And yes, it'd certainly explain your issues!

Edit: I've looked into it. Minor bug on my part that I didn't see! Should be pretty much nuked now. Let me know if it works. Use the code EUR|LU|LU003|LUXEMBOURG - the capitals matter.

Hey Rick, I was wondering if you would be willing to open up another port in addition to port 80, maybe 8080, to help those who still want to use your server but are using a proxied connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Unfortunately that's not really practical on the server I'm using - it's actually a virtual hosting system with a bunch of customers on it too - and there are already other services which use 8080.

However, I shall see what I can do on my new server. Which, as a sidenote, will break everyone using pocket hosts - that'll be fun! Oops.

Out of curiousity, what would opening port 8080 do for people behind proxied connections?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] claude512:
Works like a charm now (even with EUR|LU|LU003|PEPPANGE, which is the 300 souls village I live in!)

Many many thanks!!!

HTC TyTN II

First, thanks for god explenation and plugin/cab for the weather plugin on HTC Touch. I am no able to get weather on small plases i Norway.

Will this weather plugin/cab also work with HTC TyTN II ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swingheim:
With T-Mobile USA, those of us that use the $5.99 WAP service have to use a proxy to get to the internet. The service blocks ALL ports but 25, 110 and 8080. (And another WAP port, don't remember that at the moment)

So, for us behind proxy'd service here in the US, we would need to connect to port 8080 to be able to get the weather.

On my device, I have set up a proxy connection, which IE looks at when connecting to the net, so I can surf the net in general. However, HTC Weather does not seem to respect the proxy settings for the device, so we are stuck with those ports. (25, 110, 8080)

With that said, using the technique in post 1, I am unable to get weather to work.

I noticed that with the latest version of Pocket Hosts (1.5), that the hosts in general do not work. Hitting "htc.accuweather.com" redirects me to "wap.wirelessaccuweather.com/w/w?.....", and does not send me to your server, as I wish it would.

Weather Fix Success with Sprint HTC Mogul

I would like to thank you all for your contributions to all of our problems. I was beating my head up against the wall trying to get my Sprint Mogul to recognize local cities. I live in the Daytona Beach area. I searched the forums for a quick answer to no avail. I just want to help anybody that has a problem similar to mine.

As I stated earlier, I have an HTC Mogul (PPC 6800) on the Sprint network.

I had to modify the "HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml" and add my cities using hte following format:

<city name="Daytona Beach, US" loca="NAM|US|FL|DAYTONA BEACH" land="United States"/>

Then I had to install the 5 Tab DLL patch that is available on the initial post for this thread.

After installing the patch, I turned off the phone service via "Comm Manager."

Enable WiFi (using my wireless home network)

Disable the "HTC Home" and "HTCHomePlug" for the "Today Screen."

A soft reset and success!

I hope this has successfully simplified the search of help for at least one person.

Much Luv,

iZm

No idea! Might do? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't... but I've never used a Kaiser...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wise87:
So far I'm not having any luckgetting this to work on a HTC TyTN II. Maybe it's becauses I haven't installed the appropriate patched home plugin (5 Tab). Is the home plugin required? Also I think I had a space in line entry. Look at this for me and see if this is correct for Navarre Florida.

<city name="Navarre, US" loca="32566" land="United States"/>

What I did.

1. Copy the SdkCerts.cab file to your device, and run directly on the device.

2. Disable the HTC Home plugin from Start->Settings->Today->Items.

3. Copied/Edit/Replaced HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml with my city.

4. Soft Reset

5. Re-enable the HTC Home plugin

6. Slected my town.

7. Get error message.

Thanks for any help. I think I'm required to install the home dll for this to work correctly. If so which one?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
First of all, unless you patch the DLL or install one of my CAB files, you'll be routing via the HTC accuweather server, and it certainly won't work. You *have* to replace the DLL file. (There is the Pocket Hosts method, but I don't recommend it, and I'll be changing IPs soon so the existing ones won't work!)

The XML format is correct. But you need to get a patched DLL in. I'll get the 2.0 version patched shortly (the Kaiser version).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mthomas:
I don't know if it has ever been dicussed, but why do we neen the patched dll? Doesn't the htc server have the same basic access to accuweather data? I'm sorry if this has already been discussed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Heh, if HTC did all the weather, I'd have never created this in the first place ;) The HTC accuweather interface, for some strange reason, has extremely limited coverage. This fixes it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wise87:
Thanks Rick

I'll hold off till you release the 2.0 for the Kasier.

Ok guys tried editing the xml file to get my local weather for

san pedro ca 90731 I tried a could different strings to pull the correct weather but I always get the "cant download data error"

I copied the zip code string and then thought if I used the url trick I would hit gold because I noticed in the url san pedro was seperated by a hyphen but no luck with my variations.

Now Im trying to do this on my sprint mogul. Any clues to head into the right direction.

New 2.0 version of the plugin posted. I'm doing a modified DLL straight for the Kaiser, so that can use my server too. I know some people patched up a 2.0 already on my server, but I thought I'd finally get my own done. *chuckle*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

NEW TEST VERSION FOR KAISER / TYTN II - NOT FOR OTHER DEVICES!

Usual instructions apply:

Disable HTC Home from Settings->Today->Items.

If you haven't already, install the SdkCerts.cab file (copy to device, execute - you can't cabviaactivesync this one!).

Unzip the attached zip file, and copy the enclosed DLL to \WINDOWS on the device.

Edit your weather XML file as described on the first post. Copy back into \WINDOWS.

Re-enable HTC Home from Settings->Today->Items.

Try it out, and let me know if it doesn't work! :D

Might need Resco Explorer or something as it's a ROM file, but I'm not sure. I'll await the reports ;)

Just to add, Accuweather just updated their information from partly cloudy to clear skies no more then 5 minutes ago for my area. Your update also reflected the change. I also looked at the 4 day forcast and tried the more options. All matched what they have posted. I'm able to update both wifi and edge.

If any one can prove me wrong on this I would be so grateful.

Tried so many things unsure what it is I've done now?

One of the first things I do after a hard reset is to change keyboard code from 0409 to 0809 in the registry, will it make any difference that the xml doc is still 0409? (unlikely, but I'm not sure what I'm doing. lol.)

Red face HTC Home Weather Updating with O2 PAYG GPRS?

I would like to know if any one as got HTC Weather updating with O2 PAYG GPRS?

I have tried using the various threads on this forum, have managed to get 3 tabs on by using HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b but not updating weather. It works OK with WiFi and ActivSync.

If you have managed it would please let me know and I'll keep on looking.

Tried this method http://xdaforums.com/show...ht=n2a+weather

but not sure which dll to install, although it is already set up according to instructions.

Installed another HTC Home .dll I think because I have the original files in windows and a HTC HOME folder also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Er, the original adapted Schaps plugin will work on the Wizard, last time I checked... the purpose in this DLL is so that the Kaiser users can just drop one file into \WINDOWS and have local weather, without a full-on CAB install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hi.

Unfortunately, I had the joy of experiencing the o2 PAYG GPRS myself. The essential problem with it is it's NOT proper web access - it is in fact all routed via a WAP proxy. You've got to be a CONTRACT user to get full web access. Bloody ridiculous if you ask me, but it was one of the things that turned me off o2 in the first place. Sadly there's nothing I can do, o2 on PAYG are ****e for data access, basically.

Reroutes to Accuweather but it still works?

Hi I have foloved your "guide line" on page one and it works perfectly.

1. copyed the SdkCerts.cab file to my device

2. downloaded:"HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin_N2A_WeatherPatched" and installed

3. Edited my "......WeatherCities.xml"

All small places I have edited in XML file comes up and the weather is loaded down. Everything works perfectly even tough it reroutes directly to Accuweathers site when I'm typing "http://htc.accuweather.com/" in Pocket IE.

I never get: "If you are seeing this page, you have entered an inconfigured web site. If this is not the case, please contact support."

Why?

Sincerely
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That's normal. The Pocket IE rerouting only happened with Pocket Hosts, and that was a verification method, nothing more. It's far more efficient with the patched DLL.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Use this. Of course, this is only necessary if you're hexediting your own version of the file for some reason, e.g. cooking a custom htchome.dll file into a ROM. It's not needed for any of my prepatched (and resigned) DLLs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cincy1020:
Hi:

I am a total newbie, so I apologize if these r dumb questions.

My city IS on the weather list, and is selected. My internet connection is fine with all programs, and does access weather website, when I type it in. Wheather will not update automatically, and when I try to refresh it, it says it is unable to retrieve data for my city (even if I choose another city still doesnt work for any of them). If I connect phone to active sync whather updates, which is odd, since I have not done anything for it to do so LOL.

I am thinking I may have this Cingular proxy causing me problems also. How do I know if I have a proxy? If I do have one, how do I disable it? If I do disable it, will I still be able to use medianet as my homepage on IE?

Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated :)

I have not installed the patched plugin, because I am unsure if it will work with WM5. Is this my problem? Can I install this patched version with WM5?

I do have a full unlimited Cingular PDA Connect data plan.

I have HTC Home Customizer v0.8b installed also, and have tried both the default weather directory, as well as custom directory.

I am on a Treo 750, WM5, Cingular, am using WM5 6 tab plugin

Thanks so much!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dabao1979:
thx! i see...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Honestly? Got no idea. The proxy may be causing problems with a non-patched DLL, but these DLLs aren't built for WM5. If you want to send me your WM5 HTCHome.dll, I'll patch that too for you?

When I get patched cab from you, do I simply move it to Windows folder on phone, and overwrite if necessary? Or do I need to follow some other step?

Thanks again!

Well I think I got file attached, please let me know if you do not receive it properly.

missing HTC home from the today items

All,

New to a HTC (former q owner). I just got a hermes(8525) and I was playing around with HTC Home. I install a cab I found on XDA(HTCHomeWM56Tab.cab) and it all worked great. I wanted to use the patched verison in this post, so I hard reseted my device to clear it out. I installed the sdkCerts.cab, then installed Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen-N2A-weatherpatched.cab( i would like the 6 tab verison, I think this is the correct one). I now see a HTC tab in the today options, but I do not see HTC home in the Items that I can add to the today screen. If I install the original verison again, I get the tab and the option to turn it on, but I do not think it is using the patched version of the dll because I cannot hit a non default city, either through the xml mod or the reg mod. I tried the XML test site and it worked there. I also installed the version that works, then copied the patched dll over and the option to add it goes away. Any ideas? I read through all post and did not see the issue I am having, thanks in advance. Since I am a newb, probably just missing one thing.

Sorry for the poor english, I was raised in Slower Delaware :)

Edit$ - Update$: Thanks to Cincy1020 and of course N2A, the patched version is for WM6. I am running WM5 at the moment because the WM6 rom I used crashed on Internet sharing for some reason. Maybe it is time to give it another whirl.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tehnoob:
N2A

I installed the s2kcerts and installed the patched 6-button version. I edited the .xml to include my city - Vacaville, CA and used both the zipcode method and the NAM|US|CA|VACAVILLE and it still won't update. Yet, when I do it manually through your website - it works flawlessly for either method.

Help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cincy1020:
I am a newbie too, but hopefully I can help. The patched cab is ONLY for WM6, so if you have WM5 it will not work (an I believe 8525 has WM5, unless you've updated it). I imagine you have to uninstall, and reinstall the appropriate version for WM5, N2A is making me a patched cab that will work with WM5, so you may be interested in that once it's posted.

Good Luck :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
As Cincy said, it may well be if you're running WM5. I'll see what I can do for a WM5 version now.

If you are running WM6, ensure you installed the sdkcerts cab.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Do other versions of the home plugin update? Also, is this only over cellular, or does the same occur for wifi?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] milldoggy:
Thanks, I forgot to mention I am using WM5. Please pass it along if you get a wm5 patched version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It's done. See the first post. You'll still need the SdkCerts.cab file if you haven't already got it.

you are the man!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cincy1020:
Hi N2A:

Thanks so much for being so helpful! Unfortunately it didn't solve whatever my odd problem is. Weather will still only update when connected to active sync.

Thanks anyway!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I take it the new patched plugin didn't work then :-/

I'm guessing that it's got to do with your proxy settings. I've no experience with the Cingular setup, but it sounds like it's causing problems.

All I can say is experiment with the proxy settings under network. There's also plenty of other threads with information on the Cingular settings and the home plugin - if you do some research, I'm sure you'll work it out.

Fingers crossed for ya!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Sounds like you're on a WAP connection. They don't work with the home plugin.

I'm assuming the 6 button cab you're using is the one on my first post? Unfortunately if you can't get a connection, but you can over WiFi, then it's a connection issue.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jlopez0978:
Thanks brother...

Excellent work and thanks for share with us!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I don't *think* so - but you'd have to do some research on the original threads for the home plugin (I only patched it, am standing on the shoulders of others here!). However, I'd highly recommend AGAINST it, due to the fact it's on your today screen, and installs stuff in \WINDOWS anyway. My experience of putting such things on storage cards caused sleeps of death etc.

Incidentally, if you're using the touch ROM, you can just replace the Touch DLL. If you (or someone) wants to attach the htchome.dll from your \WINDOWS directory (after uninstalling my patched version, obviously!), I'll patch it for you and attach it. Then you can drop it back into \WINDOWS, and it'll work as the patched version.

Make sure "show all files" is enabled in Windows Explorer. (Tools, Folder Options, View, Show hidden files and folders). Might also have to untick "Hide protected operating system files".

If you're doing the touch one, download the attachment I just put above. Make sure you've got the sdkcerts.cab installed from the first post, and just copy the DLL into \WINDOWS. It'll patch it instantly.
