Donations

At risk of sounding greedy. Or like a PBS Pledge drive.

I've received less that $100 in donations for this, and have put well over 100 hours into the creation and support of this app.

There are almost 2000 downloads since the last release. If every user would give $1, I would be creating hotfixes and enhancements for even petty stuff. But sadly less than 1% of all the downloads result in a donation.

This does affect my motivation. Write code at my real job, or write code for almost free.

I am strongly considering putting all future updates on Microsoft Marketplace where I will be able to charge atleast a $1 per user.

Thank you to all those who have donated.

If I do start putting it on Microsoft Market Place I will post here when ever updates are available.

If I do make an update and you have donated and I put it on Marketplace, PM me and I'll get you an updated copy.

Personally, I believe this software is worth more than $1.

Some have donated as much as $15, which is greatly appreciated.

For donators, the most typical donation is $5, which is also greatly appreciated. It's definately worth more than $0.

Sadly donators are not the norm. There are at least 1800 users of the latest version that have not donated anything. This number grows daily.

If you want updates and later versions to be posted here and freely available, you know what to do.

Hope this doesn't sound too greedy, but I have worked hard to get this to the state it is. It currently is more functional than I needed it to be for my personal use.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I assume you have a data plan.

And, I assumed you installed it to the device, not a storage card.

I would try doing a soft reset.

This often times helps issues with data connection errors.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cymerian:
You assumed correctly. If by soft reset, you mean simply powering it off and on. Then, yes, I did that multiple times. Perhaps this just isn't currently working on Sprint TP2...I followed your directions perfectly. Once again, I:

Installed the .cab file for Weather City Editor

Launched it, which disabled TouchFlo 3D.

Went to my state in the program. Clicked "Add City."

Enter my State Abbreviation at the top (NJ)

Picked my time zone (eastern U.S)

Typed the City name (Bridgeton)

Typed in the code ( NAM|US|NJ|BRIDGETON ) in all caps

Clicked "Add"

The city showed up on the list. I exited the program, re-enabled TouchFlo 3d. Selected the city in the weather tab. Got a connection error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Are you using the ROM that came with it, or a custom one?

Did you install to the device?

Or storage card?

Can you verify this registry entry:HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila

At that location, what is the string value for Weather.ServerURLOverride

I am thinking that might be the problem, but I'll know more after you post that value.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cymerian:
I just magically started working for no reason. I didn't even reset it since we lasted talked. What I DID do since my last post, was uninstall some programs. I wonder if it was possible that some of those programs could of interfered. Thanks a ton. Sorry for being a bother.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Glad to know it works with the Sprint Touch Pro 2.

I was about 99% sure that it did.

Could you please post what ROM your using or if it is just the one that came with it?

Then I'll know if anyone else has issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cymerian:
How do I check the ROM? Do I need a registry edit app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
You would know if you had flashed a custom ROM.

The first time you do it, you will be very nervous, so you will never forget it.

So, I'm pretty sure you have the stock ROM that comes with it from the store.

But to check, it is found under start->settings->system->device info

Then you select Sftware information.

It will say OS Version, Manila Version, ROM Version, ROM Date.

ROM Version is what we are looking for.

To navigate to this might be slghtly different for a Sprint Touch Pro 2 with Windows 6.1.

I am using an AT&T Fuze, which is just a Touch Pro, but I am using a custom ROM that is a Windows 6.5.3 build with Manila 2.1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MCbrian:
Donation

I've used your great app a lot over the past 3 months -- flashed many roms.

Now I'm finally getting around to showing my appreciation with a few $.

So, thanks a lot!

Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2

ROM Version 1.21.651.3

Hope that helps. If Flashing a ROM is like flashing firmware onto my PSP...then yeah...I would be nervous. Heck, I'd never do it. Wouldn't want this expensive thing to brick.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Thank you very much.

It also works with a german T-Mobile Vario V WM 6.5.

Only it needs lot of time. First when you start the tool the only thing it does is show the windows circle. After some minutes it opens the list and the city can be added. Then by pressing "Exit" it looks like the program would hang up. After another long time it asked if i really wanted to shut down TF3D. After i agreed it disabled and reenabled TF3D - and everything worked perfectly.

On my second co-workers MDA Compact V (Touch Diamond 2) it worked also - only i had to manually disable and reenable TF3D.

On my 3rd co-worker (also Vario V) i had to manually stop and reenable TF3D.

Maybe it would work automatically too - but after 3 minutes i lost patience.

Is it normal, it needs some minutes to show the list where you can add the city? And another few minutes for closing and another few minutes before you will be asked to close TF3D?

Maybe it is possible to add a bar showing it still works? Or at least some words about the status and what it is doing?

But after all i need to say it worked on 3 devices without any trouble.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Thanks for the feedback and the donation.

It doesn't take that long for me.

Maybe I should put a screen up that will display a message right away.

It does take about 15 seconds for touch flo3d to shut down.

I agree that seems like a long time with nothign presented to the user.

I also need to modify it so that it will disable Sense.

When using 2.5 ROMs I have noticed that I need to manually disable it.

What I can do is attempt to diable it and check to see if manila.exe is still running. Then provide a message to manually disable it if it is still running.

This will help if they decide to change what the today plugin is called once again.

Thanks again for the donation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gkagad:
the application needs to terminate when adding a city

Hi!

I have installed this on my HD and although it does not return an error in the installation when I add a city it needs to terminate. This happens not only for US cities but with every other region too.

Could you please help?

g
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gkagad:
Hi again!

I searched all over the whole thread and found my answers.

Now, I have the missing cities added but when updating the weather data it returns no data, just an IDS_STATE_0 message under the city

do you have any ideas or solutions to this?

thank you

g
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WeT-Klb:
Today i tried again - for me it needed 6 minutes and 20 seconds before the city list opened.

As i wrote before i'm using a german T-Mobile Vario V which came with WM 6.5.

After i closed the program again it looked like it would hung ab. The EXIT-Button was highlighted - and that´s it.

This time i stopped it with Resinfo and shut down the process.

So the program itself works - only needs soooooooooo long time.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Today I actually ran into it taking alot longer to start, close to a minute. Normally I don't have it it connected by USB to my computer when I run it, but this time I did. Maybe Active Sync is causing some delay with it. I unplugged the USB connection and went to shut down TFL3D and it immediately started. Could have been a coincidence.

Something that might speed it up for you is to manually shut down TFL3D or Sense before launching.

In the next version, I will detect if manila.exe is running to avoid any extra delay and put in that screen that initial screen that I mentioned in my last post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Are you using an older version? I updated the app in early November.

It sounds like the problem that occured when my original version was used on a rom with Sense 2.5.19202525.

I'm thinking about implementing App To Date in a future version, when/if I have some extra time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I've been very busy since Thanksgiving. I bought a new laptop at the Black Friday sale. I had been doing my development of this with my work laptop. Thought it better to have this on my laptop with my own tools and leave just work things on my work laptop.

Things I found out. Visual Studio 2008 Standard does not work for developing Windows Mobile Apps. Thank You Microsoft. Visual Studio 2005 Standard did work for Windows Mobile development. So I had to buy Visual Studio 2008 Professional, which retails for over about $450 to $500. It's no wonder Android is gaining market share. Eclipse (The Android development environment) is free. And to top it off Visual Studio 10 Pro Beta 2 does not support it either.

But, I am now fully configured and I have compiled the app on my new laptop. All is working well. Takes a little getting used to Windows 7 verses XP Pro, but so far I'm liking it.

Now that I am configured for this, I might actually have some time to do some of the improvements I've been thinking about.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WeT-Klb:
Hello,

i didn´t connect it to USB and i ran the latest cab you offer. It simply needed more than 6 minutes before the list was visible - but after maybe one minute the 4 coloured Point of windows stopped spinning and i even didn´t see anywhere the weather editor still is still running. Suddenly the list poped up.

I´m really looking forward your new release - because it´s a great tool.

Yours

HTC HD2 should have Sense 2.5, wich means it should work.

Please copy this file from the windows folder on your phone and attach it to a post.

2330fc3c_manila

Also, some additional details would be helpful.

Are you using a custom ROM?

Have you done anything that could have modified 2330fc3c_manila?

What other things have you installed?

Also, is the today plugin named HTC Sense?

I think it probably is.

You need to manually shut down HTC Sense before running the program.

This will be fixed in an upcoming version,

It appears that you ROM is not World Wide English (WWE).

What language is your ROM?

Is the Windows folder named "Windows"?

The table countries did not exist in older versions of manila.

Did you apply any tweaks from an older version?

Something you can also try.

Shut down HTC Sense.

Using a tool such as Total Commander, Delete the file 2330fc3c_manila from the Windows folder.

The original 2330fc3c_manila that came with the ROM will be restored.

(Files supplied with the ROM cannot actually be deleted.)

Then try the program again.

But if the Windows folder is not named "Windows" then program won't work without adding another step.

You will need to do as follows:

Shut down HTC Sense

Manually copy the filed 2330fc3c_manila from it's location to "Windows"

Start the program.

Make your edits or additions.

End the program.

Manually compy the filed 2330fc3c_manila from "Windows" to what ever windows is called in your ROM.

Now restart Sense.

can anyone help me out ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Not unless you answer the questions that I put in the previous post.

You're not giving enough information about your setup.

At least say what country the ROM is?

And if it is stock or custom?

And list any other solutions you may have attempted.

Did you even try anything I posted in my answer to your original post?

BTW, I am the creator of this program. Aside from the general dot net sql lite library and a code snippet given to me by Joe Wilcox to start and stop touch flo 3d, every line was written by me.

Don't quote your post, when you've had a response without first providing at least some of the requested information. This is true when posting in any thread, especially when the author of the app has responded.

I still suspect the Windows folder is not named Windows in your ROM.

On the root level, is there a folder named: Windows

If not, what is the untranslated folder named that the operating system files live in is it called?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trygve@omega.no:
HD2 confirmed

Since there where reported errors on the HD2 I had my fingers crossed at the first attempt at running the application.

No worries: Switching of HTC Sense and using the tool to add my home town, back on with Sense and Voila; I am no longer depending on the "My Location" part to operate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Glad it's working for you and thanks for posting your successful results, since there is the user that was and maybe still is having problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Just thought that I would post that I have fully set up my new dev environment.

Nothing new is released yet.

But I have started work on the next version.

On my not yet released version, HTC Sense now is automatically shut down and restarted like TouchFLO 3D.

Adding a splash screen next, so that there will not be the big delay before anything is seen.

I need to go over the thread and messages to find all the enhancements that I am planning to include.

It doesn´t work on my HD2.

German Handy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Not much point in posting that, if you aren't going to provide details.

We know that it works on the HD2, since multiple users have succeeded in using it. One recently posted. Another even donated and included in the message with the dontation that it worked on the HD2. I doubt anyone would donate it didn't work.

So, since we know that it works on the HD2, but not for you on your HD2, there must be some differences.

Yours is likely a German ROM, since your posts says German Handy.

In WWE (World Wide English) the system folder is name "Windows"

I don't know what that folder is named in a German ROM.

If it is not labeled "Windows" then it won't work. See potential work around posted on Dec 11th.

Id be happy to donate if u could tell me how to add Ketchikan Alaska when it doesnt appear in the drop down list in this app. I luv my phone but am very annoyed that phone weather apps list Anchorage and Juneau but not Ketchikan. My location service cant find me. Help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Steps to add Ketchikan Alaska or any city

That is exactly the purpose of this app. It lets you add cities that aren't in the list.

If you are using HTC Sense, not just Touch FLO 3D, you will manually need to shut down the HTC Sense plug in First.

Run the program.

Select the state: AK

click on Anchorage with the stylus. (We are going to copy it, but modify the copy, so it gets the weather for Ketchikan.

Now Anchorage is highlighted.

Click the Right Soft Menu labeled Menu and then click on Copy.

Now Click in the City field and edit that to say Ketchikan.

Then click in the Accuweather field.

Either replace what is there with your zipcode, or replace it with: NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN

(For my test, I added it as NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN because I don't know the zip code)

Then click the Left Soft Menu labeled Add.

Now Click the Right Sefot menu labeled Menu and then Select Exit.

City is now available to pick from the weather page.

If you have HTC Sense, not just Touch Flo 3D, you will restart the today plugin.

Go to the weather tab.

Now you can add the city ketchikan.

I have just done this, while creating the steps.

The weather page says that it is 39 degrees Fahernheit with Showers.

Where it says Anchorage is 5 degrees Fahrenheit with Flurries.

Let me know if how have any trouble with these steps.

I can create screen shots if absolutely necessary, but I am at work right now.

Last day of work until January 4th. Lots of vacation needed to be burned.

My location still might not work, but at least you will be able to see the weather for your city on the weather page. I'm not 100% sure if my location gets it's information from the cell tower, or uses the GPS, but in any case this program is designed to let you add cities to the database on the phone. My location gives me local weather even if the city is not in the database. But, it might be the city where the tower is located.

I like to be able to see what the weather is like at cities othere than right where I am. If you get on a plane in Seattle and fly to Minnesota, but are going to drive to Hudson Wisconsin, it's nice to be able to see what the weather is like in Hudson. In the summer, it might be raining in Hudosn, but not in Saint Paul, which would change you plans if you were thinking about golfing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spyrious:
Seems like a great app, but i get this message when trying to add a new city

An unexpected error has occurred in Manila_2.1_2.5_Weather_City_Editor_v1.1.exe

I'm using

EnergyROM "Leo" 21885 |17 Dec| Sense 2.5 / Dusk / MaxManila Rom

on blackstone.I also tried to add a city when tf3d was disabled.No luck either.Any link on the pc version?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aksilvershadow:
JVH3; Wow thanks for the time in checking it out. Will try tonight when i get home from work. I guess it woulda helped too if i would posted that i have a Touch HD useing Dutty's Holy Grail rom. So cant wait for the HD2 to come out. I bought Touch HD at full price. Absolutley luv it and am prepared to do the same once the US version of HD2 comes out. Anyway sorry for the tangaint. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I discontinued the PC version. There are problems with that when using Windows 7 64 bit, and at the time I did not have Windows 7 64 bit. Also, since I didn't use it any more I just didn't want to take the time to support it.

I have used this with both Manila 2.1 and HTC Sense Energy ROms successfully, including Max Manila. But I did not try it with Dusk.

Most commonly this problem happens from 3 things.

Installing to the storage card, instead of the device.

Using a different weather editor first that is not compatible

Or using a previous version of this program.

This was updated in early November.

Previous versions were not compatible with Sense 2.5.

Additional columns were added by HTC to the database in Sense 2.5.19202525 and higher.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spyrious:
I installed on device just after a clean rom flash and with the latest program version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Based on the error you reported, I find it extremely doubtful that you have installed the latest version.

The executable from the latest version that can be found in the folder on your phone named Program Files\WeatherCityEditor_Manila2.1 is

Weather_City_Editor_Manila_2.1_2.5.exe

not Weather_City_Editor_Manila_2.1_2.5_v1.1.exe

Please verify the executable name in that folder.

Then, download the cab from the first post.

Uninstall the version you have installed.

And install the version just downloaded.
