This happened to me when I removed JVH3 Weather City Editor.

once I reinstalled it, my error has gone away.

[HD2 General] Grey Area:
Have had the HD2 for a few weeks now, with no problems with weather. Went on holiday, came back, and getting the error as per this thread. Strangely it seemed like I was getting the update, then getting the error afterwards.

Spoke to my provider (T-mobile) who were next to useless (well that's unfair, I guess they suggested a lot of things but none worked).

Took out all cities from the application and updated - worked fine (and this was over GPRS as one of things T-mobile had me do was switch Band under phone settings (All Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM/UTMS Services/Band/Get Settings)).

Could it be as simple as an error in the weather data for ANY city causing the problem - not just your location? My location at home always seems to be detected fine...
[HD2 General] allanlaw:
Hmm, I think corrupted weather data might have to do with it. My current location works, but with another (Hong Kong) in the list, it will give a connection error. I've tried deleting the forecast database and letting that rebuild, but to no avail.
[HD2 General] PGMMA:
This started a couple of days ago. In my case, Hong Kong was not updating which caused a connection error. I just deleted that city and no more error. You can check if any city is not getting an update by doing a manual update then scrolling through the cities and looking at the time. Any city without the current time did not get the update and will cause a connection error.
[HD2 General] edwin.chiu:
I am a Sony X1 user with LEO rom. My Malina weather also displayed connection error in "Hong Kong" city and "My Location" few days a ago. I tried add some US countries and worked properly as you guys mentioned.

Hope that it is a instant error and will recover soon. Anyway, is there anyway to report the error to Malina's Team?
[HD2 General] audiavant:
I have no problem updating wether in Norway where I live by use of only WLAN "on" and Dataconnection "Off", but when I'm outside Norway in Amsterdam it is not possiblie to update wether with only WLAN on. In Nederland/Amstedam I have to have Dataconnection "on" to update even if I got connected to WLAN connection.

Any who know why?
[HD2 General] allanlaw:
FYI, Hong Kong weather is now updateable on my device.
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
Yes this sorted it for me. I guess one of the updates I did switched this option on.

Go to Comms Manager -> select Menu (Bottom right of creen) -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy Settings (Tab at bottom right of screen) then uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the intranet". Click OK and soft reset phone. Job Done.

PS Make sure My Location is the chosen. To do this Touch the Clock on the Today Screen and select "My Location"
[HD2 General] BigDaddyBlue:
I had this problem on my Kovsky and now my Leo too...

It's a problem with the signal strength on O2 near my house...

If I go to my Dads house it picks it up just fine.

I just manually change it to my local town and keep it like that.
[HD2 General] whizzkid_cool:
hey folks, can anyone help me with this:

How to update weather by using wifi, instead of data connection?

Thank you for your advise... :)
[HD2 General] Joehule:
Anyone tried this? Does it work.
[HD2 General] Boblebad:
I have had problems with getting weatherupdates for a time now. When I first got the phone, everything worked fine. Then there was the global issue with DST not updating, and after that the weather service went haywire and would only update on Wifi.

BUT the time around Christmas, suddenly it started working again... almost. By almost I mean, it doesn't pin-point the location as it used to, but only showing the current county (yes, county, not countRy :)) I am in. As soon as I drove across one of the borders, the county changed correctly - but still no town... or town in the proximity for that matter. Not even after a hard reset.

The company I work for use these phones, so I must have handed out ~70 of them. The majority reporting what I just mentioned above.

(Norway btw)

I tried it for ****s n' giggles. I was able to update fine, but still only the county as I described.
[HD2 General] quirine:
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:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride=http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=%25ls

I hope this helps someone :)
[HD2 General] ar_sot:
Thanx

I tested the solution, It works.:fingers-crossed:
[HD2 General] mcseven:
Hi, can anyone confirm that the built in gps only reports the current position? I use tomtom 7.450 and on my diamond in the gps configuration page it would indicate satelite number, position (both in the top right circles) and signal strength for each satelite (grey/blue bars at the bottom).

My HD2 with 1.48 does not report any satelite data (at least not to tomtom), but only the position east and north. Can anyone confirm this? And is there a way to get satelite "debug" output as well?

Thanks...

EDIT: Seems to be an issue with that particular version of tomtom only.
[HD2 General] dapr0digy:
hi mcseven,

im using tomtom7.45 as well and im getting the same results. i think you are right in your suspicions. the gps probably only outputs lat (N/S) and long (E/W). not just N and E.

the last time i used a BT gps receiver from Holux and that gave me satellite info + gps data but i felt that the lag from the BT connection was a pain and as such still use the internal gps.

what do you intend to do with the satellite info anyways?
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
I get the same sometimes with leo but never had the problem with Raphael.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I saw a thread discussing this issue a little while back, but I can't remember the exact cause.

I DO remember though that it is an issue with TomTom, and nothing wrong with the GPS functionality.

For example, if I run TomTom, it will locate my position, but not show an satellite connections. However, if I run CoPilot, that locates my position and shows how many satellites I'm connected to and their signal strength.

Sorry I can't remember what the agreed cause of this was, but it was definitely NOT the GPS in the phone.
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

i think its a tom tom thing, because if u get gps position you also get satelite data. i do a quick test with igo, copilot, visualgpsce and gpstuner. the are all showing the number of sat's, there position in the sky and the other stuff.

regards mad.
[HD2 General] pat12:
I use TomTom 7.910 and it works normally...Displays both signal strength and satellite just as before. So it's either a pb with your version of TomTom as others suggested or with your ROM.
[HD2 General] mcseven:
Thank you all, I also believe it to be an issue with tomtom 7.450 only. Navigons shows sat. data as expected, and the NMEA output confirms this. So I'll simply upgrade tomtom. Thanks again...

I am not afraid of these updates having hacked my RazrV3 to the max. However, I am unfamiliar with the procedure for the Motosurf a3100 winMob6.1 device.

What is the application I need to find to access the ROM?

Am I able to create a backup of the existing ROM so I can restore it?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] cris_rowlands:
I know some Visual Basic which I started learning at College and then developed slightly further at a snails pace over time, but I find its not too great for making windows mobile apps.

Im at the point where I want to learn a new language, mainly so I can make better apps for windows mobile than the basic things Ive made so far.

So, what would you guys think is the best language for programing with when making stuff for windows mobile?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] cris_rowlands:
I know its a question, but maybe it should be moved to "Development & Hacking" as the people viewing that section would know the answer I seek

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prime_Directive:
SOLVED - But I'm not sure how, I was redesgning the app so that I could put it up here for other leo owners to test and gave it one last go to take a screenshot of the error to show people what I was looking for and viola it starts working (I never changed the TCP code) sorry anyone who finds this who has the same issue but it just randomly started working!!

Hi fellow devs,

After a massive googling session I have not been able to find an answer to the following issue:

I am writing a TCP client/server app with my PC as the server and the client being my HD2.

I am writing the app in VB.net using the .net compact framework 3.5 and the windows mobile 6 sdk.

I just cannot get the following code on the client side to work over wifi:

Dim ParsedIPAddress As IPAddress = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.10")
Dim client As New TcpClient()
client.Connect(ParsedIPAddress, 7209)

I get the following exception:

If I connect the phone via active sync it will work and I can send and recieve data ok so it appears there is no issue with the code itself.

While connected via active sync - if I turn off the server side app I get the following exception:

However the exception message remains as the original if I do the above but using wifi so it just is not able to establish a link at all (or not even trying) using wifi??

-----------------

I have tried:

1. Ensuring that windows firewall on the server is off and not getting in the way of anything

2. Ensured that my mobile has got an active wifi connection and can see the machine (wifi remote control apps such as GRemotePro work ok)

3. Turned off all other types of data connection (GPRS,3G) to make sure my mobile has only one route out

------------------

Is there anyone out there who has successfully got TCP to work with the .net compact framework and if so how??? :p

Should I be using another class rather than TCPClient maybe the underlying Sockets class?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Prime.

P.S. I don't mind if people only have a solution in C# I'm happy to do any translation etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prime_Directive:
Socket class also fails

Ok so I've tried the socket class now as well and that fails in exactly the same way over wifi, ensured that I can ping my device and ping my pc from the device so clearly the underlying hardware is working just not for the TCPClient or Socket... Any ideas anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Have you enabled port forwarding for the relevant port and IP address in your wireless router?

That's the only thing that springs to mind for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prime_Directive:
Thanks for the reply but...

Hey John,

Thanks for trying to help although unfortunately this does not bear any consquence in this particular situation, you only need to do port forwarding if Network Address Translation is going on between you and the end point. In this case the endpoint (IP + Port) is on the internal LAN with no address translation in between. It appears the the internal WIFI adapter is not being accessed correctly from the application i.e. this is an internal issue on the phone not an issue with the network in general as I can run the same code via active sync and it works also I can convert the project to a standard windows pc app and run the same code from a pc and it works. Oh and of course every other damn (this is really wierd) wifi app I've got works so something with the .net cf and wifi maybe??

Cheers,

Tony.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Prime_Directive:
A development...

Ok so I have dug out my old Orbit II just to see if this was device related and low and behold it is ARGGGHHH!!! The app works just fine on the Orbit II over wifi.

Does anyone know of any policies, security or otherwise, that would stop the HD2 (leo) from being able to use wifi from the .net cf?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Finger Appliance:
Generic reasons for communication failures

Hi

This is a pretty generic problem, I'm afraid you can't give an exact idea of where is the problem so I can't give also an exact solution.

Usually a communication problem is due to one of this three

1) The server does not listen or does not receive

2) There is a problem with the network

3) The client does not make the call

Type 1 should be checked trying to connect to the server with a PC or a laptop. You should be able to make the client run in a PC.

Usually when a (web) server has a (web) tcp service stopped, when you try to connect to it it rejects the connection (this is what that of "the target machine refused it" sounds to me). Start then the (web) service on the server. Change (web) for your application.

My advice is that you should have something in the server side where you could run a wireshark sniffer. Then you would see all the traffic coming from the PDA and see if your client is sending packets.

Type 2 are the ones that can be checked with a ping. Maybe there is a firewall somewhere dropping the packets.

Type 3 may be due to several things

a wrong code (I don't know, there is a lot of time since I made programs)

you're trying to connect to a dns name that can't be resolved. Try with IP address.

You have a wrong network configuration. The server should be in the same network but client is not able to get the server's (or the router's) MAC with the ARP protocol. So it doesn't make the call.

I hope it helps.

Hello,

Id like to know where to increase the number of mails that stay on the phone, default is 50 and i have over 2000 in my inbox, id like to have the last 100 or 200 of those on the phone.

Thanx

Open windows mobile device center (this is for win 7, but should be same/similar whatever you have) - mobile device settings - change content sync settings - email sync settings - 'sync the past' then a dropdown, all messages, past day, past week, whatever. Also there is settings for headers only, or whole message, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
The last 5 builds I have flashed seemed to have stopped working with sense conversation mode. Does any one know why??!

Basically, I backup everything on myphone, reinstate after flashing and i can see them in the sense tab. But when I go to open them in conversation mode nothing is there unless I switch to traditional.

I do find however that if I get a text from someone it appears and shows all their old texts....

Weird...any ideas>
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mika34:
They are working but in different mode. If you delete them all and then you start to keep new ones conversation mode will work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JavorCK:
They are aways issues after flashing and then restoring backed-up data! I don't advice you to do this in the future after flashing new ROM....if you want to make a hard reset then it will work without probs (most of the times)

hope that helps you

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
Hang on a minute, I've been flashing phones for about 6 years now and I've never had to delete all my texts and start from scratch.

What's the point in myphone otherwise?!

Also, I have flashed my HD2 about 18 times now (maybe more) and it's only the last 3 flashes that this happens in. If I revert to an official rom, or some of the earlier build's by chef's in here then all of my texts come back in conversation mode.

I was wondering if anyone knew why this happens in the newer builds? :-/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
Anyone else? I can't believe I'm the only one - it's doing my nut in!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TML1504:
i noticed something similar, but i'm not using myphone.

the thing is the following: sense makes a new folder in the sms inbox named

"conversations" (i saw that because i backup my texts with pimbackup, at the

restore you can see this folder). when you restore this folder (and i don't know

if myphone does this; i stoped to use myphone because it doesn't sync the

content of sms folders inside the inbox (at least the builds i used, about 3

months ago), which is out of regard with manila because manila ignores subfolders

also) then the conversations are there from the beginning, allthough they are

not correctly linked to the contact. for that you have to "edit" the contact

one time, or add it to the people tab. after that all conversations for this

contact are back (which is also the reason for the manila lags, this is when

manila "reads" all the old sms's from this contact in the background, which

could be very slow if you have 5000+ sms as i do). another thing to get the

conversations back is to send or recieve just one sms, after that the sms

history is also back (for the corresponding contact)...

hope i could help you a bit with my findings!

regards,

markus
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
Thanks Markus, I noticed the same for point 2 as you said. It's strange though. It must be an update as part of the newer builds of manilla because I always used to be able to retrieve my conversations with MyPhone. I think they've done this as a cheeky way of getting around sms lag!

Shameful HTC, shameful!

Hi!

I have some up ROM since i get the HD2. The problem is: the first using it, it can download the weather update for My location is very good (by the wifi, data on, and the PC Microsoft ActiveSync), then after some up ROM time, very sad. I could't get the My location information any more! Please help me how to get My location informaion after up difference ROM?

Set your home town using Manilla City Editor, works a treat, search the forum & you'll find the app. & how to use it. Hope this helps. I use this as My Location does not always work as it should.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pdgpereira:
You mean, after flashing a new rom, my location doesn't work? Can't get weather update for your location?

Have you enabled "My location" on the weather tab menu (last option)?

On these new roms that have a short after flashing setup, you have to go to weather tab menu to enable my location.

I did anable weather already. Bad: new when installed the soft location from above advice, Then my PPC appear with blank screen! finally I have to Hards reset!

If i am not wrong, first u need to set some settings in ur phone.

Setting -> Menu -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms

Set ur time zone.

Hope it works :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
not 100% if I understand the question... but...

go to the weather tab, click "menu", click "enable my location"

not all cooks enable this by default, so perhaps it was left disabled in your ROM.

Just.. unbelievable.

Engadget has close to ZERO fact checking.. and it almost seems like they're actually out to smear the N1 altogether! Check out this rediculous post from the 'engineers' at Motorola, claiming that drawing crossing lines on a device is a good test of a touchscreen's quality. Look how wavy the N1 is! Worst of the bunch, right? Not so. Here's a screenshot from my fiance's phone:

http://www.cartoonmonkey.com/nexus.jpg

Read the article here:

And my reply here:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/...tphone-touchscreen-quality/comments/24574769/

The other post that bothers me, is Engadget's stance on the flash 10 player coming to the N1:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/nexus-one-previewed-with-flash-10-1-beta-careful-what-you-wish/

Vote my comment up! Don't let Engadget get away with this bogus "reporting"..!

:mad:

[Nexus One General] JHaste:
its funny that they post pictures but no video, ok we have the video of the first 3, but what about the video of the N1 getting doodled on... are they all using the same app? (that goes for the android phone)

why are we sposed to take their word for it that one pic was taking with slow, full finger motions while the other was tip and medium speed?

i used to go to engadget for all my tech reviews before i buy things but after pickin up this godsend of a phone, i have noticed how little validity or credibility their site has... still shots do not prove actions of precision...

this is an advanced world we live in now, engadget can make a video to bash androids browser speeds yet it cant make a video to prove this simple line test? plz...

[Nexus One General] JHaste:
LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

I just read the flash article on engadget and really? the guy specifically said that 80% of the video online uses flash, HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH COULD FLASH OVERALL BE NEGATIVE?! This baffles the hell out of me, granted there will prolly be more ads on our browsers but i really dont care because having flash for other things is HUGE!

pros- 80% of online video will now be viewable

-sites that use flash entirely will now be viewable

-flash games can now be played

-flash can be integrated 1000 other ways with practical uses

cons- ads on websites

-may be a resource hog down? (doubt it though)

i say the pros definitely outweigh the cons...

A lot of us have known Engadget are a bunch of iphone licking fcuk heads for quite some time. :mad:

Once they get their vibrating iphones out of their respective a$$es, they might see straight again....

Its really disappointing. They also dished the HD2 which I currently use (altho I have a Nexus 1 on the way) and its truely an awesome winmo phone - and much better than an iphone!
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
Don't get me wrong, I love the HD2 as well; however, most people would rate the iphone higher strictly due to the OSes. I've never personally had a problem with WinMo, but it hasn't exactly been forward moving.

I'm still laughing at them about the 802.11N "reporting".
