Unfortunately, this does not work for me. I cannot connect to anything once I've followed the instructions in that post. I get error messages about being unable to connect (not the weather update problem message which also appears).

But to re-iterate my earlier posts, in most locations the My Location service DOES work, hence it is not a problem with the phone I suggest, but more likely a problem with the signal from certain masts/transmitters which causes problems for the phone updating the location weather. For instance, STAFFORD will not auto update - I get the standard connection error message for weather updates, however I can MANUALLY add Stafford from the list and that updates fine. RUGELEY does not update and isn't in the manual list of locations. All over North Wales where I've tried it, the weather auto updates fine as long as there's some sort of mobile signal.

To re-iterate, this isn't specifically a phone issue, as the location weather service works in most places, its just that there are many other places where it doesn't work at all. Therefore it seems to be that the implementation of the My Weather service by HTC is slightly flawed, in not accepting data from some transmitters. I'm still waiting to hear back from HTC, but will post here as soon as they do. They do recognise and accept that there is a problem.

Radio

I've been having issues with this for the past month or so too. I didn't have the problem before either. I live in a fairly populated area (approx. 500,000). It's not a coverage issue. I do a lot of flashing and have been thinking that might be part of the issue. The continuous overwriting and deleting of code and data will eventually cause issues...fragments of things being left behind from old flashes that are different and don't get overwritten. It has to add up. I've seen strange behavior that can't be explained by anything else. I just flashed my radio again...the same one I've been using and magically my weather tab (i.e. my location) is working and I'm currently under ground (concrete block walls) at a hospital and I only barely have a signal but it worked. Of course just because it worked doesn't mean it will continue to work. I just wanted to throw that out there as a suggestion. Also keep in mind that different ROMs work better with different radios and different radios work better in different regions too so what works for one may not work for another. I hope that helps some one.
[HD2 General] Bunglechunk:
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I still get the connection error. :(
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
Same for me! Cheltenham is where I work, and weather via ‘My location’, doesn't really work, but will with Cheltenham added as a specific city. It does work in and around Gloucester, Stroud and Dursley, all being places I am quite often. Funnily though, I do get 'Cheltenham' appearing in the ‘My location’ slot at some quirky places in and around the town (such as the Cheltenham end of the Golden Valley). A strange one really! I’ve given up on it really, and just accepted it as being one of those things, particularly when you do get Cheltenham updated as a specific city.
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
As I've mentioned, this seems not to be a fault with reception or anything, its down to the way the HTC My Location service uses the data from transmitters, and therefore some transmitters are obviously not transmitting some (probably location specific) data is quite the same way, which HTC's My Location service cannot recognise. Your observations seem to support this.

I'm

still

waiting for a repsonse from HTC - the UK office have contacted HTC HQ about it. Will report back here when I hear more.

[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
In last week or so the locations given by 'My Location' are

a lot

less geographically specific than before.

I live half way a hill and can see for miles from the back of the house, and used to get around four or five different locations from there. Now I get either the town I’m in, or two other places, one of which is 15 miles away!

Has something happened to the weather function or the Accuweather side of things to downgrade the location sensitivity of the locations linked to the weather function?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I've had a chat and run a fair few tests with my local friendly O2 engineer, and he has said it seems to be a NetAct system fault/misconfiguration on your local cellsite. Most likely a misconfiguration.

He is going to check my local cellsite (there are several around here which weather/location progs update on my HD2, but not the one nearest my house (typically)) and report back.
[HD2 General] mrHD2:
Yes they're named differently for me

Can't find anything past 3.

I can find the connections folder, but there's nothing in there called 'connection settings'?

i've got 'account manager', 'connection set-up' etc, doesn't matter what folder i open none have 'first option (Activate. autom. Config.)' or my proxy settings.

So i'm totally confused :(

Found solution!

I went to google maps and logged into my location, weather has been working ever since!!!!!
[HD2 General] mrHD2:
With the threat of data caps from our carriers, how much data does constant (every hour) updating of local weather use??
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
WELL DONE, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!! :) I live in London, UK and only used to get weather for London or main City not boroughs within. Now I'm getting weather for boroughs inside London and it changes whenever I visit another borough or other cities and boroughs within those cities. GREAT Discovery. All working like normal now. By the way I'm on O2 UK
[HD2 General] Whut:
That fix also worked for me (for now) in the USA. Mine would update maybe once every other day. Nothing like looking at the phone at 11PM to have it say its sunny and 98 degrees out! :eek:
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
unfortunately, as I have previously pointed out, these quick fixes are not the same problem at all. The main issue here is that some transmitters in certain areas don't transmit certain data and thus My Location weather data won't work from these transmitters at all - it is a problem HTC acknowledge and are aware of and looking into, and which I'm waiting for a response from.
[HD2 General] Whut:
Mine stopped updating again. It seems after I did the ROM update from T-Mobile is when it started. Prior to that I had no problems with anything on the phone beyond dropped calls. T-Mobile blamed the dropped calls on the "outdated" ROM so I did the update. Now my location is not updating and I am still getting dropped calls. :rolleyes:

Just to let you know it's working for me now, and I haven't changed anything, apart from using the 'FixStartManla' cab I mentioned & posted on one of the various 'Sense won't load'/'Sense won't start' threads.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:

For me my location weather NEVER worked on any stock rom or any cooked rom. However after flashing Duttys CDLC latest rom, it worked FIRST time and every time. So happy :-)
[HD2 General] sjukmidlands:
Just to let you know, my HD2 has also started displaying my location and the weather for it within the past week or so whilst we were away in Wales, it all worked when we got home, here in and around Rugeley and Stafford and other locations where it wouldn't previously update. Nothing on my phone has been updated, however there were serious connection issues with Orange just before we went and apparently Orange engineers were working on transmitters in the area. I have sent these observations to HTC and HOPE to get a response back very soon, which I will post here, I'm also going to speak to Orange to see if I can get any information from them which might be pertinent, but as several others have posted on here that their My Location service has also started working very recently, am assuming its an upgrade to the transmitters? ... Will post as I can get any info...
[HD2 General] marvino:
No one has go any answers ?

On my HTC Touch HD, when i connect to my WIFI and try to update the weather. IT WORKS and it displays correct location.(town name) However, when i try to update through mobile internet it DOESN'T work but it downloads weather for other cities that i have. So there must be something wrong with the location service...

EDIT:

This is seriously FU**ED UP... I updated weather through WIFI.. now I try to update through mobile internet.. and I get connection error, and it worked before for other towns. After soft reset it seems to work but again only for the towns that i added.
[HD2 General] willshd2:
The "My Location" weather problem happened to me after i last hard reset my phone. Prior to that it always worked fine.

Got it to work again by doing a hard reset, but during the setup process i selected NOT to connect to wifi AND yes to allow google to locate me. Possibly this forced a 3g connection for My Location, in any case it's worth a try.
[HD2 General] mikejt2000:
Hi all, All of a sudden "my location" is playing up, on the mobile internet all the other locations update ok except "my location" which does not update,

On the WIFI internet the "my location" does update but only to United Kingdom, all the others updates ok. by the way if i travel from my home town everything updates (to town level).

Any ideas

FIX

I HAVE FOUND A FIX FOR THE WEATHER UPDATING PROBLEM/ My location. I also had the sms problem but that has went away (had it for like 2 days). To fix my phone i simply connected to wifi shut off the phone using red power button turned it back on and shut off wifi and now it will update weather and my location on 3G again. My phone worked like others that have posted. It would usually update when on wifi but not on 3G. I would also get connection error when tried to update on 3G or it would simply do nothing with my location and update the others.

Hope this helps, I found it very annoying because I usually checked the weather out look through out the day and am in different locations.

My fix for Weather tab "my location" not updating

i know this thread is old, but i had the error updating message too. None of the here mentioned solutions worked for me.

I was able to get it to work again though. Here is my fix:

I added/changed the following registry entry:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] murchman:
I have searched but not found any links to a fix, I really like using the stock WWE HTC ROM on my Tilt 2 but I am having problems answering calls with slide to unlock. When I slide it sticks and doesn't answer the phone. Is there a fix for this? I have read I need to use the att dialer but I can't find a cab for it or other patch.

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] b24zero:
I too were having this problem and searched for the answer.

In order to fix it you need AT&T dialer not HTC dialer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] murchman:
Ok, how do I get that dialer?

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
Since your phone is stock, I don't know what "tweaking" tools come with a stock rom, but do a search for "advanced configuration tool", and inside that program, go to the phone menu and there will be an option for "PHONE SKIN", and it will most likely be enabled (by default). Disable it, and when it asks to reboot, the AT&T dialer will be back. You lose video calling, but I don't think at&t uses that anyway.

I personally like the at&t dialer anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] murchman:
While that solves the problem it also removes the ability to use the speaker phone by placing it face down and also the mute button. From searching I see I need to use the att dialer (not the WM 6.5 dialer or the htc dialer). Anyone know how I can replace the dialer with the att dialer?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MadSci:
If it's a Tilt 2 - then is was supposed to come with the AT&T Dialer installed. If it's not running now then either it was flashed with the wrong ROM or you have altered the phone somehow. If you have run a COnfiguration Utility of some sort, go back and look carefully at what you altered and set them back to the original values.

You might try a Hard Reset. If it doesn't work after that - take it back for an exchange, either the ROM image or hardware are faulty.

Good Luck!

How can I decrease the "hold down" time for alternate symbols on the HTC stock kb?

Using the stock HTC qwerty keyboard called "Touch Input", when you want to type the "1" key, you have to hold down the "q" key. For this post, Im calling all the numbers and symbols that aren't the primary letter on the SIP keyboard, the alternate symbol for that key...

What I'm trying to figure out, is how I can reduce the length of time I have to hold down the key for the "alternate" key to be typed... Right now its probably 1 sec, and I would like to reduce that time to maybe 300ms or something.

So basically what can I change so I can type a "1" faster using the Touch Input SIP?

(and btw, I know that FingerKeyboard2 has this as a setting but Im trying to use the stock KB for other reasons.) THanks!
