Just sent a request to HTC support

Here in Norway I have had forecasts up to 20(!) degC higher that the local forcasts for the last weeks, making the Leo weather functionality unusable.

So I sent a feature request to HTC. No big hopes, but at least an attempt. It may be picked up by someone in a position to pass it on.

Here is the request I sent:

Hi, I have an HD2. I very much like the weather functionality, but unfortunately the Accuweather forecasts here (Drammen, Norway) are TOTALLY off. For example, the temperature has been between -7 to -17 degC here for one to two weeks, while the Accuweather forecasts have been 6 to 20 degrees above this the for whole period! I assume Accuweather gives correct forecasts for many places, but NOT here in Norway, and I have seen multiple complaints about this for other locations as well. I just have to turn off everything having to do with weather.

My feature request is therefore that you add support for more weather sources, or make the forecast retrieval DLL interface details known so that programmers can create additional DLLs to support more weather sources.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mikiort:
I strongly suspect that your HD2 shows you the temperature values in deg. Fahrenheit for some reason:

6 deg. Fahrenheit = -14.4 deg. Celsius

20 deg. Fahrenheit = -6.7 deg. Celsius

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] s.kralemann:
@filar: It's the same for me. I am living in Munich and the accuweather forecast is always 3-5°C off. I think for europe the best weather source is wetter.com. Their forecasts are always very accurate. I will also make a feature request for opening the weather service API, so that we can implement some additional sources.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] filar:
Wish the solution were that simple...

I checked that, but it is not that simple. For example: Now it is -17 degC outside and is expected to be like that for some days. The HD2 says it is -10 now ("forecast" of current weather is not that bad :-)), but the next three days are shown with forecast temperatures of +1 to +4 degC. If I switch to Fahrenheit the current temp is +14 while the next three days are between 33 and 39. The trend I have observed for many weeks is that the current temperature is not too far off, while forecasts are very much too high.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hitchi:
I think we do not need another discussion about forecast data issues of accuweather, we just want to have the possibility to change the source. I can't believe that it is not possible...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donbronzi:
I Hate accuweather, always have but manilla always uses it!!! Ideally for me i would like to get my weather source from Netweather.tv. I will also email HTC about it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] s.kralemann:
Today, I have emailed HTC and requested to open the DLL API.

Maybe they will do something for us if enough people complain about the weather service.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] taurusnj:
It uses the register value Weather.ServerURLOverride under path HKCU-software-HTC-Manila, I guess
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Yunabeco:
You could, if you wanted to, make a proxy server that reroutes data from, say, Wetter to the format used by Manila. While it was still with AccuWeather (only to add support for custom cities), it's been done.

Some problems come to mind, i.e the weather codes used by Wetter aren't the same, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] buddaking:
me too very intrested
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rbk1917:
Yes, please find a solution to this. Accuweather are not even close to the real temperatures here in Norway. Continually present me with weather I can only dream of. Right now it is -4C according to the widget and also their webpage. But it's actually about -18C. It has been like this since I got my HD2 in December, and it's starting to get quite annoying.

I would very much like to use another weather source.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smuppy:
Yea, it sucks. Im in sweden and the forecasts differ quite much from the reality. Yr.no would be nice ;) They serve their data in pure xml, quite easy to get. Free as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] filar:
Response from HTC

I got a reply to my request to HTC. See below.

So I hope that the HTC developers take care of this and give us an API so that we can add "local" weather sources.

But one single request does not count much in business decisions, so please send your own requests as well.

Fred

Unfortunately no. Let's hope they're working on it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
Don't know where you live, but when you're living in Europe, go and try G-Weather. You can find it here: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gweather/about

This program is amazing, it gives you the forecasts for morning-noon-evening and night. Also warns you when it wil get slippery, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Thanks kuzibri for that info, i know, ageye always does a good job! ;) But: I just want to add a new weathersource, don´t want to use another program (g-weather can´t be implemented in manila as far as I know (weatheranimation on startscreen etc.)).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
you're right on that last one, but I have G-Weather in my quicklnks and use it far more often than Sense weather becasue it's so much more precise and full of extra information like rain and satellite images, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Again looking for some incredible news here... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crystal_619:
I too would love to get my weather from another source. Here in the states I use weather underground to get my weather as I'm rural and it pulls from local weather stations. My Tilt 2 currently says it's partly sunny, however there is not a drop of sun and it's snowing outside. :D

Just confirming here that the Weather for South Australia can be up 10 degrees celcius out some days using accuweather...

Does anyone know where accuweather gets their information from?

An alternative could be to get accuweather to redefine their sources of info or even change them to the local weather stations...?

I normally check out weather.com.au out for our local weather.

No response yet

Unfortunately I have got no more responses from HTC. I don't really expect to, either. But I hope they will have fixed this issue in a firmware upgrade someday.

If you are really interested in getting this issue fixed, I hope that all of you will send requests to HTC Support about this.

There are multiple locally reliable weather sources out there, with forecasts available in xml format, ready to pick up and parse. It's a shame not being able to use them.

yes, you can view weather forecast data published by the Hong Kong Observatory via Sense UI. see this (page in Chinese):

Wow! PP Weather is great! Although I can't get the auto-location working, it now gets good weather data.

I tried to manually visit the auto-location. It sends me to Google gears. Gears refuses to install to Opera. While installs OK on IE, it doesn't not do anything.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
If you want to use wetter.com as your weather provider, then you can choose either between G-Weather or Touch Weather (the last one has animated 7 days weather forecast). I have linked the last one to the weather icon on the homescreen, si.o it opens Touch Weahter instead of Manila Weather.

I don't know if it has anything todo with it, but back at my rhodium, I wanted to add custom cities, but it didnt update. Since then im using a registry edit which I always import after flash:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"

Does this still apply to Sense? Can it be used somehow to override the accuweather?

Hope its a direction for you guys!

I'm assuming you mean to zoom in and out? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You can use either Zooomer, or the Pinch to Zoom option in BsB Tweaks, but this will only enable the system style zooming. Real pinch to zoom would have to be included in the application when it was developed, and it wasn't.

Dear Guys,

I just got a new problem with my new htc hd2 ..

When I want to call someone and push the "Phone-Button" (left one) I just

get this blank list with my contacts. So I cannot see who I am calling.

First it was funny, but then it just pissed me off, so any idea what went wrong?

I do not use any theme or skin.

Ahh, sorry for my lousy english.

Hope any of you guys can help me!

Hi, can anyone confirm if there is supposed to be a popup notification for alarms and calendar notifications. I seem to only get a notification on the task bar which I can click on to bring up a popup window.

Is there a setting for this somewhere? I would like to have an automatic popup screen with the dismiss/ snooze options.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate, there is.

Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab), and select event type of "Reminders". Make sure "Display message on screen" is ticked and click OK.

That should do the trick :)
[HD2 General] p13tr0:
OK, found the cause of the problem. By activating the BsB tweak for an LED display for notifications seems to prevent the popup notification window.

Do you think it is possible to restore my phone with a HTC debug serial cable?

Hi all!

Just got my HD2 with 1.48.707 (WWE) ROM. There seems to be a bug when trying to "copy and paste" the "Work" and "Work Fax" numbers. To see this bug, do the following: 1) go to any contacts 2) tap on "edit contact" 3) tap on the "mobile" phone number. This will auto-hilight the phone number. Tap-and-hold and it will pop up options to "cut, copy, clear". Try and do that for the "Work" and "Work Fax" number. No matter how I try, I can never do select-tap and hold and therefore cannot copy selected text.

Any one got this issue and knows how to fix this?

Thanks.

Is it possible to edit some registry keys to get 4h update?
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
I really do not understand this question. The options menu offers you a lot of possibilites regarding scheduling time with a range from 15 mins to 24 hours, except the one that you want/like. What's the point/advantage to have it after 4 hours instead of 3?
[HD2 General] Bence:
Because there is no auto disconnect option yet it takes too much battery if it upates every 3h or less if I dont disonnect it right away...

6h option updates only 4x in 24h, so..2x in day when I dont sleep is usefull...

With every 4h I would have update in morning, noon, and evening...

I never disconnect my data connection and it does not drain my battery, so that's the reason for my reply. My setting is an easy one: no automatic updates, I'll update when I "wake up/use" my device.

Once you're under Select Networks, try out the options under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" For example in order for me to be able to connect to live messenger regardless of my network environment, I have to choose the "Orange internet" option (default is Orange MMS). The options for you will be different of course, based on your carrier.

Hi there !

First of all just wanted to say i have a card of 8 gigs of memory on my cell.

And i keep on getting this message when i try to copy files on my cell :

Cannot copy File.txt: There is not enough free disk space.

Delete one or more files to free disk space and then try again.

So i did deleted a lot of file to free up like 400 megs.

Still the same message.

I can't neither take picture or videos cause it gives me the same message !

Any ideas on what is causing this ?
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Most likely the not enough memory is due to your RAM, try freeing up RAM memory in your phone. You can do that in Celetask. For pictures and videos, in camera mode, set up your phone to store picture and video onto memroy card instead of phone memory.
