Weather Database Editor Help Needed

Can someone plz school this noob on where to put the weather database editor files on my htc touch pro? I have downloaded the modified version; installed the up to date .net framework and now just need to take this final step.

P.S. Also, once I get it where it needs to be; how do I open it?

Thanks in advance for any help...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fireman54:
If the file you have downloaded has a CAB extension, then you just copy it to your device or memory card. You can do this when you ActiveSync by selecting "Explore". After disconnecting, you will need to open File Explorer and navigate to where you copied the CAB file. Then tap on the file to execute. It should install at this time. After installation, the Database Editor should show up in "Programs".

One thing I'm not too clear on is why--if the location works at accuweather--do we need to change to point to http://weather.not2advanced.com/?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dclaar:
Answered my own question

Because the htc site doesn't blindly pass along the data to accuweather; it refuses to pass non "blessed" cities along...

Edits fine I see them in the database but no matter what (including deleting the 02230fc file) on my Tilt the Weather program in Manila keeps using the default list.

Any ideas?

If you didnt get this sorted in my esperience IDS_STATE_0 is displayed when i havent entered the accuweather code in correctly so make sure you have. Make sure all letters in the code are in caps and you use the vertical line symbol not a slash.

Hi all, new Sprint Touch Pro user. This weather editor is the first app that I am attempting to put on my device. I was just wondering, when I install .NET Framework 3.5, do I also need to install the Service Pack 1 and then the update to the service pack? I also read somewhere else that you need a program to make sure that the device uses .NET 3.5 instead of going back to the default 2.0. Any ideas on that?

Thanks for any help. And thanks to the genius' that create these programs. :-)

After installing WDE, updating no longer works

- Brand new HTC Touch Pro UK Qwerty

- installed .Net Framework 3.5 Compact

- installed WDE

- added a city in WDE

- city showed up in Weather tab

- added city in TF3D

- updates no longer work

I read on the first page that one of the things WDE does, is changing the URL from where it gets the weatherinfo to a server from N2A (http://weather.not2advanced.com/). I see this URL being used in the options of WDE. But I can't get it to update any weather now. Not even from the 'default' cities.

Any ideas what has happened?

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Any ideas how to get back to the working state (before WDE), without hard resetting?

All help is appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

It appears, after all, I shouted too early. I tried and reinstalled for over an hour. After posting here, I gave it a rest. And now, without doing anything, it all started to work! I guess there was a glitch at http://weather.not2advanced.com/ ? If that's possible?

It works now for me: done the install as per the instructions. Nothing special.

Many thanks to the developpers!

I installed .NET and the weather software 1.2 and get the same errors others have reported, i.e. it the "File write protection of database could't removed"

Even the error message has a spelling and a grammatical error.

I read this message string and another similar message string and couldn't find a solution. I saw some people mention using 1.1 modified but I already have 1.2 installed and don't know how to remove it to try 1.1 modified??

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JVH3:
Thanks

Thank you for this.

I used version 1.2 with my HTC Fuze and it worked great.

Couple bugs in it regarding editing. It would not take my changes

when I updated Minnesota to MN

or

when I updated US|MN|somecity to NAM|US|MN|Somecity

But deleting and recreating worked fine.

But, since adding them is not frequent and all you have to do is be careful to do it right, it does the job, and gets rid of the frustration of getting weather from 20 miles away.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Phil37:
Weather or not?

I am using the meins version of the weatherbase editor on my Fuze and have a question. I have added a small city in Maryland and it seemed to work on my 8525 but on my Fuze no longer gets data for that city. Instead of the "nam/us/..." under the name of the city, it just says "IDS_STATE_0".

???:confused:

Rather Confusing

My problem seems to be a combination of these other problems. I really hope someone can help. Here we go. I first purchased my Touch Pro from sprint a frew months ago. I found out how to do the weather for my city on this post. I installed framework and version 1.2 on my brand new phone (factory rom) and it worked beautifully. Well i forgot why but i uninstalled the 1.2 from my phone and realized that it removed my city. Well I go to reinstall 1.2 and now i get the error file write protection couldn't be removed like everyone else. i haven't added anything to my phone at all and the only change i have made to the registry is the SMSNoSentMessage. So i figure i haven't added any new roms or anything. Its completely factory still so i hard reset. Once all is over and phone is completely hard reset with the same factory rom as it came with i reinstall framework and version 1.2. For some odd reason instead of installing like a champ and working beautifully it still gives me the write protection error. I was almost 100% sure that a factory reset phone would work as it did when I originally got the phone. Can someone please add there input on this because I have ran out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

Alltel Touch Pro Weather modifications

I was able to add the cities after a little bit of working.

Using the WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.1 cab I got the errors that the file was read only and could not be changed.

Using the WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.1 Modified cab it worked for adding the cities I needed.

After making edits however I was initially presented with many cities outside of the United States (Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, etc.) as my defaults in the weather tab. I removed these and replaced with the cities I wanted from my list. All of them worked but one (Houston, TX) which was one already in the list before.

Houston showed the IS_STATE_0 under the current picture for conditions and 32 degrees for H and L. The five day also did the same.

I noticed that my signal was not good so I drove to an area where I have good signal and did an Update Now and all is working.

Thanks for the posts for this modification.

Hi,

Since yesterday, the city I have added (EUR|BE|BE002|LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE) is showing a sun during the night, and a moon during the day? It's weird because for other BE locations (even added ones) it's showing the correct time of the day...

Is anyone else facing the same problem?

EDIT: problem solved by changing the name of the city in the weather code... strange!

Hi,

Can someone help me with the following?

I have installed successfully the Weather Database Editor 1.2 both in a Touch Pro and in a Touch HD. I also added with no problem all the extra cities I need.

I had same problem as above, had used this program, hard reset, reloaded, didn't work, got error.

I wonder if someone had this problem before and found a fix.. but I did a search and didnt see anything:

after I add 2 cities with 1.1 patched version (the other 2 version say I cannot open firmware file or something like that) I restart the phone and load touchflo.... now whenever I go to the weather tab touchflo crash and restart itself... and I dont see the 2 cities that I added before....:confused:

anyone know what can I do to fix it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ParrotSquawk:
Dumbass question: why is all this rigamarole necessary?

How did this problem become a problem? WM6.0 didn't have this issue.

Is it because WM6.1 points us to a bad address for geting weather?

Does this fix do anything other than add an alternative URL for getting weather?

It's pretty sucky that we have to take advantage of N2A's server for weather (thanx mang!) instead of going right through accuweather.

Hey Guys, I cannot get this to work for the life of me. I have tried all of the Weather Database Editor version on this thread and nothing works for me. The regular 1.1 and 1.2 Database editors give the me "File write protection of database could't removed" error. I have tried disabling touch flo 3d, resetting, rebooting, and the error still persists. I have tried the "modified" versions of these Weather Database Editor (both of them in this thread). While the modified version will run, it does not have my city in the list and thus it doesnt do me any good, unless there is some way I can use it to manually put in my city. PLEASE HELP!! I am going crazy with this thing, I have searched the net high and low and nothing seems to work.. If I could just get rid of the "File write protection of database could't removed" error I would probably be good..

My City is: St. Augustine, FL (USA).. zip code 32080...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mstevens:
You're in luck! The sole purpose of the program IS to manually put in your city! It seem as if you figured out the hard way (instead of reading the thread) that you need the modified 1.1 version - I'm guessing you have a Touch Pro.

Now, all you have to do is read the instructions for how to add St. Augustine (or any other city you like) to the weather cities database.

Aw, heck. Here you go: run Weather Database Editor. Select the "Edit" menu at the bottom right of the screen. Select "Add City" from the list. For Country, use "United States." For State, use "FL." For City, use "St. Augustine," and for AccuWeather Code, use your ZIP code. Once you're finished click "OK", then select the "File" menu at the bottom right of the screen then "Exit." Go to your weather tab and select "Menu" at the bottom right of the screen, then "Add Location." If you need help from there, consult your manual.

Thanks man, FINALLY! I feel like a moron now that it was so easy.. When I put in the modified version I figured it was just a list and didn't know I could add to that list.. it was last last night...

I really don't believe this issue is yet solved. I have just updated my ROM to Dutty's 2.8 and tried to get a custom city installed using the methods described at the start of the post.

Whenever I have supposedly successfully added a custom city and restart TF3d through the today option, when I go to it it crashes. The only way I can stop it crashing is to remove the weather editor program.

I have tried all versions of the program but am getting stuck. I can't understand why HTC didn't put this simple option to add a custom city to the weather tab. It amazes me the number of large towns that are not in the stock database.

Has anyone managed to resolve this problem on a touch HD (Blackstone forum refers to this post as a solution).

Cheers.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ForceFoxFive:
I have been playing around with this on my Touch HD (( original Orange UK ROM ))and found the following steps work:-

1. Turn of TF3d

2. Install the 1.2 version of the AccuWeather editor, listed in step two of the first original post.

3. Perform a soft reset on your device

4. Once your device has rebooted, open the AccuWeather app and just check the countries have not disappeared! :confused: They should be there as I had to reinstall as for some reason it doesnt like it when the TF3D is on.

5. Go to the UK site of AccWeather and type in where you live or nearest city. For example, I'll use Diss, in Norfolk, United Kingdom. When typed into the search bar it comes up...Diss, Norfolk, England

6. Make a note of the location, in black text, as you'll need to use this in the editor section when adding a city.

7. Turn on TF3D and start the AccuWeather editor. Browse to your country, in this case United Kingdom>EDIT>Cities>EDIT>Add City. In the field ''State'' type Norfolk, in the ''City'' field type Diss((These do not have to be capital letters)). In the last field ''AccWeather Code'' type

EUR|UK|UK001|DISS ((I would use capitals for this bit.)) Hit ''OK'' and exit the editor.

8. Browse to the weather tab and add your new location and update. Your new location should now be shown.

Hope this works for everyone! :eek::eek::eek:
