Sorry @stylez, can you translate n2a :confused::)

EDIT: I see in registry one string with this value: n2aaccuweather.... OK now! I understand, ehehe

*** This Thread have now 1,368 views and only a few users post problem with weather????

I'm now a fan of AccueWeather on Facebook and I read this from AccueWeather: Thanks, we'll add this to our customer support ticket
[HD2 General] rebecker:
OK, so I'm pretty convinced that the issue is using custom locations with software like JVH3_PPC_Manila_2.1_WeatherCityEditor. So maybe the authur of that software can tweak it to work with the new AccuuWeather settings. :D

I removed ALL of my cities and then added only the ones I know are standard HTC Weather locations. Everything updates perfectly.

I'll keep you posted if that changes.

HTC weather issue

I also have not been able to update the weather on my HTC Diamond. Until yesterday, It was working perfect! Can someone list for me the proper registry settings including the server? I looked at it and its along the lines of "not 2 advanced..." Last July I downloaded a weather database that allowed me to select more local areas. It has worked perfectly.

I want to check these settings to see if they are correct:

Weather server URL

Weather, PostFirstRun

Weather, Fahrenheit

Weather, Current City

Weather,City List

Thanks....

[HD2 General] Garcia:
For you that has problem with custom cities I just found by serching around this new server with same function.

just change you registry in HKCU/SoftWare/HTC/manila to:

"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://htcweather.conflippersweather.com/weathertranslate.php?ac=CONFLIPPER&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"

There is a space after the equal sign and "1&device=innovation" not in version, but I cannot correct that, it looks OK vhen writing it but not when shown in post

that is currently running without problems
[HD2 General] susu42:
I have an HD2 (with modified database) and a SNAP with regular database.

The SNAP updates without problem, the HD2 update is stuck since the 4th of March.

Short of hard reset how can we restore the "original" database?
[HD2 General] gator70:
Mine is not updating for 2 days
[HD2 General] Garcia:
You can either use my settings from post 68 or you can simply remove that registry point that is called "Weather.ServerURLOverride" then you'll get HTC original database
[HD2 General] apetrakian:
awesome. That fixed it. Thx
[HD2 General] susu42:
@Garcia

Many thanks.

Your settings of post #68 solved the problem!
[HD2 General] maw:
Yes! That fixed the problem! Weather is now updating again! THANKS!

n2a seems to be back online getting updates on both phones, think even if we change to cornflipper we will have the same problem once in a while as n2a is pretty reliable, just been reading JVH3 will be updating weather editor maybe a good idea to include both and have a way that if update doesn't happen x amount of times it flips server. "i'll mention on thread"

[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
Like I say before... I don't change anything on registry (remove de space) and yesterday morning begin the normal updates (My location and more 8 customized cities) but... yesterday night I remove the space in registry...soft-reset... and the updates also OK:) So... maybe a coincidence on removing this 'space' and AccuWeather make a change to all HTC work good with your server like before:) In a fact I'm surprised because I remove the 'space' (many hours later) after the upgrades work... but is the same... continue working until now:p

Thanks to all people on this Thread and I change the topic with a special Thanks to @Garcia ;)
[HD2 General] rebecker:
Is your weather working today? Mine stopped at about 17:00 GMT.

[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
No...No...:mad: The same with me...

Accuweather... now 'joke' with us on weakend :eek: I don't know what's the problem now and I think tomorow is ok?! or not :(
[HD2 General] gator70:
mine stopped working again. for two weeks it was ok
[HD2 General] nofuse:
Mine stopped when I checked it about 8pm on Sun, removed my custom cities that had been added by Weather Database Editor and all worked well. Strange thing is that accuweather.com now uses postcodes not location codes so is this causing the problem as if so is there a fix to add additional cities?
[HD2 General] gator70:
Do you what the codes look like? Can we just edit them?
[HD2 General] nofuse:
Sorry folks just read through all of the pages :o and found solution in post 68.

Thanks all
[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
my registry is equal post 68 but don't resolve the problem... Today I only can uppdate My Location but from yesterday to today 11H45 GMT 0 my other 7 cities...don't:(

[HD2 General] leaskovski:
Not sure if post 68 will help me at all, but basically, my added locations update and display todays weather fine, its just the 'My location' doesnt seem to ever update.
[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
Ok again.. .

I try now... 15H12 (GMT 0) and all OK (My location+7 costumized cities)... So... when is the next Accuweather crash?

Can you people try now and post the results?!
[HD2 General] zoorin:
Everything is fine now.

Everything is fine now. I have experienced this issue since yesterday evening.

Do you know, what is the difference between the N2A's server and the Cornflipper's one? The last one works fine all the time.
[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
I don't know this server :o Maybe someone clarify...

It's working here for me again. But, it is extremely slow updating and occasionally brings back a communication error. :confused:
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
You can add at least 2 more HD2 from Sweden that does not work.

But if i use WiFi connection it works fine! The same goes for the other owner.

yeah mine worked fine from 15.25pm in the uk guys :)
[HD2 General] 8526WM6:
Weather Problem is the Server or the Connection???

I'm new to this thread but came from the NRGZ28's Rhodium Energy Leo ROM Thread. I've been trying to solve my weather problem and a post directed me here.

Has anyone using Google Maps notice that if you turn off GPS Google Maps no longer estimates your location? Google Maps usually downloads information if your GPS is turned off (probably from the same location and method that HTC my location uses to estimate your location within a 1000 meters). It now tells me an error message saying your location is temporarily unavailable. This happened at the same time as when the weather stopped updating and my locations stopped updating. I'm thinking that both problems are related. But if so, the only common thing would be a connection method that both apps use to get their data. Can anyone verify with their GPS and WIFI off if google maps has stopped estimating their location? This wouls help narrow the cause of the problem.

Thanks in advance...
[HD2 General] :
@8526WM6 with gps and wifi off google maps still found where i was yesterday when i was having weather problems. It searches cell phone towers. like most people have said i think its just the website we get the weather from having issues
[HD2 General] 8526WM6:
@Trev666,

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking this due to other reports that it worked with WIFI turned on. Strange. I guess have a separate problem with google maps. I'll go ask on the Rhodium thread.

Thanks again...
[HD2 General] pigglett:
Well that lasted 12 hours I now have connection problems again :(
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
my weather app has not updated the 'my location' bit since 13/03 it dosent come up with any connection error the update just stops...but the added cities seems to work fine.

my twitter has also stopped updating over the last week or 10 days..again dosent show any connection error..twitter app even tells me that it has updated but the new tweets dosent come up.

anybody knows if HTC are aware of this problem??
[HD2 General] pumafab:
I am from the Uk and most of the day yesterday my weather thought I was in Quebec....... today it is working!
[HD2 General] pigglett:
'my location' updates randomly(hit n miss) but other cities I get connection error
[HD2 General] rebecker:
I believe the problem is directly related to whether you've installed a city customizer or not. If you're using the standard, unaltered version of HTC's weather there will not be an issue. That is why only some people are experiencing the problem. There is a new version of Manila 2.1 and 2.5 JVH3 Weather City Editor, Version 3.5, that will allow switching between different weather servers. Those with issues might want to try it. I've installed the update, but haven't switched servers since the weather is working fine right now. Waiting for the next failure. :)

Tried switching weather servers. Worked fine.
[HD2 General] pigglett:
Well my weather is updating... shame its 7:22pm here in UK and its showing midday sun ..its been dark for 1:30hr :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Fidalgos:
Again and again... on the moment I have problems with update weather and I go try your sugestion.. . I go update the weather editor to v.3.5 now! I post later the result.

Thanks @rebecker

EDIT: I uninstall v.2.1 and install v.3.5 of JVH3 following the recomend procedures in thread Wheather editor. Then I change for now the server to Confliper and all ok with weather updates (I backup first the file 2330fc3_manila and after disable manila I replace in Windows folder my backup)... but before update to v.3.5 I try weather and updates also ok (minutes before like I say don't update...)

So... I stay with 3.5 and other server by default to test on next days

Hello,

After the problems of N2A's server, My Location service doesn't work properly. Before these issues have happened, it showed just a city where I was, now it shows a voivodeship ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voivodeship ). How to fix it?

I tried upgrading my weather editor from 3.4 to 3.5 but still my weather for my location won't update when connected via active sync. It will only update when using WIFI or GPRS/3G connection. It only started doing this since last week, before everything was updating fine using Active Sync! Anybody else got this problem and solved it? I tried switching weather servers, but no dice! Furthermore, if I reboot my device and then connect it fresh via Active Sync, it will update just 1 time, after that it doesn't anymore. Strange huh??

Any solutions would be great! Thanks!
[HD2 General] mb76:
My weather only ever updates if I use GPRS or EDGE connections, HSDPA always fails to update. Until now this wasn't an issue but it seems in the last week I'm now getting good HSDPA coverage. I've added a 3G slider to the comm manager and will see if this improves things (100% success rate so far)
[Nexus One General] gadgetgaz:
Hi, I have been decorating my small bathroom today and I have had my N1 sat on a shelf busily streaming music from last.fm over a wifi connection.

I had the volume up full and was listening for a good 7 hours. The battery was at 95% when I started listening and I expected the phone to shut down by mid afternoon but it didn't.

At about 6.30pm I finished decorating (for the day!) and looked at the battery guage. It showed 64%. I couldn't believe it!

Battery use is shown as 26% cell standby (good 3G connection all day), phone idle 23%, mediaserver 2%, and wifi was just 10%.

I always thought wifi was a battery drainer but apparently not on the N1 :-)
[Nexus One General] ghostrida:
i get steady drain when indoors @ the office where i only get Edge no 3G. Is the battery drain as bad when searching for 3G as it is searching for a signal in general?

aj
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
To my knowledge the screen uses the most battery (other than voice calling). So if you were not using either of them it should last you a long time. :D
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Yea the brightness of the screen is to blame for most rapid battery drains.
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
I've found that forcing 2G when indoors is the best way to go (unless you still generally have solid 3G).

If you are in a solid 3G area, then just force 3G...

This gives you a much more stable network connection and means the phone doesn't have to work as hard, switching between EDGE and HSDPA.
[Nexus One General] ghostrida:
how do you force a 2G connection?

aj

edit: network settings. got it.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Go to settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks and select only use 2g networks.

Edit: Nvm you ninja edited on me lol
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
FWIW, the specs on the Google page list 6.5 hours browsing the web on Wifi vs. 5 hours for 3G so it is at least better than 3G.

Also, streaming FM probably runs the Wifi in bursts with some buffering rather than continuously, wouldn't it?
[Nexus One General] gadgetgaz:
I'm sure you're right but the wifi radio is switched on all the time even if it just accessed data in bursts.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
If it supports the WMM extension along with the router then it can request some low power support for maintaining the signal which drastically reduces the power needed when not actually sending/receiving data. It was created for things like WMA (which this phone doesn't have), but can be used more generally.
[Nexus One General] Gslick:
Last time I checked the screen display only used 4% at about half brightness ( maybe I'm wrong but I checked with bettercut shortcut )
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
Your phone uses a lot of battery when searching for signal. Enabling Edge only should make that stop. My phone fluctuates at work because I'm in a big building so I just connect to the wifi and leave it.
[Nexus One General] HighTech216:
I too am extremely satisfied with the battery life, for as fast as the phone is I wouldn't expect so much. I'm amazed, seeing it with such a small battery, this phone sips power.
[Nexus One General] nmeofdst8:
just as a note, have had the 2800mah battery now for the recommended 5 full charges...phone has been on for 3 days now and is at 40%...crazy
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
Nice! How does the extended back affect your use?
[Nexus One General] britoso:
wow, just 31% after 7 hours!!

I lose 10% just getting to work (1 hour) with very limited usage and edge only.
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
bouncing between edge and 3g drains the battery also.
[General Questions and Answers] Kaimane:
Hi Community!

Since 'BatteryStatus' is no longer working on my device (os version 23529; it worked for me until 21889) I'm looking for an alternative to that tool.

Maybe you know a working app for WM which works with the new builds and gives you the same functions like BatteryStatus.

I tried LCMinutes, but it is to complicated I think ...

There is an interesting widget for android, called 'Call Meter NG' (Link). Too bad, I can't use because of WM ;o)

Perhaps a programmer reads this post and is interested in creating a tool as an working alternative to 'BatteryStatus' or 'Call Meter NG'.

Best regards ...
[General Questions and Answers] dannybz:
Im looking for a similar app that will record total outgoing call (hour:minutes) and SMS/MMS sent, and as well Total kilobytes downloaded.... and that it can be reset at anytime. This will help me to monitor my telephone bill every month.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
If you cover the radio on any phone the thing will lose some signal.

Here is a video of my tp2 doing the same thing the nexus does...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eo7uFtAKDY&hl=en&gl=US&warned=True&client=mv-google

In a poor signal area this will happen....

If you want the n1 get it, all the droiders are just posting non sense...
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
We already know this, the only reason it is so popular with the Nexus One is because it happens very easy and commonly. At least that is why I believe why, nothing you have said is new findings or information to us. Besides, it is quite obvious covering the radio would decrease the signal.. it just shouldn't be so prominent.
[Nexus One General] ghostrida:
there are really two separate issues both of which i have experienced.

1) the issue with covering the bottom of the phone. if i do this in a 3G coverage area i can consistently lose 1 bar. not a big deal if you have 4 bars.

2) second issue is the complete lack of ability to obtain 3G coverage in areas where it is available, this is evident of users who have posted phones side by side. I experience this in Phila consistently and they supposedly upgraded the network here for the HSDPA+ rollout.

did i get this right?

aj
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
You may know this, but from the other threads I do t see any videos on proof that other phones do this as well.... yes, covering antenna will do this, and once again that's why I posted this, so thanks for you smartaszish comment.... thanks, glad you know this but others don't....
[Nexus One General] GNOve:
lol @ this board.

I for one was not aware the same issue occured on the tp2.

Interesting a design flaw within HTC'S deisgn pattern.

You would think they opted out of including the radio in the same spot for every device.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
It happens on a large number of devices, not just ones from HTC. I remember people discovering this on Blackberries as well.

It's likely fallout from the "OMG! Cell phones will rot your brain with their antenna!" scares - I think they all put them at the bottom of the phone nowadays.

The reason this is such a big deal with the N1 is that it had the widely reported 3G issues and many are still having issues even after the first OTA which was supposed to fix the issue. So, now everyone is on a witch hunt and when this not-so-commonly-known, but fairly commonly implemented design quirk is found on the N1 it gets big press. Check out this blog on the same problem on the iPhone:

Hmm, I learned that (what I said) from a guy on this forum. I actually know nothing lol. I could've been wrong for all I know, but it sounded pretty accurate..

[Nexus One General] d.cortez:
this design has been in play for a while; i guess HTC had our brain's best interest in mind, lol. i had 2 HTC Touch HD's (UK and Telstra versions) and the manual specifically states touching the bottom of the phone would impact antenna performance.

​
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
I've said this a million times but..

I have an N1, my cousin has an N1. My wife has my old MyTouch. I recently sold my G1 that I've had since it released. I drove around Dallas, Texas with all three and they all have the same signal strength 100% of the time. Every time the N1 went to Edge...so did the MyTouch and G1.

99% of people only have an N1 and just complain about how they "Dropped to Edge"..yeah...welcome to cell phones. You don't have 3G 100% of the time. Just because you're in a 3G coverage area doesn't mean you have 3G at all time. If you lose 3G, you get Edge. I don't have any problems with my Radio. I travel across Dallas county every day to and from work. There are some 3G dead spots but it happens. It was the same on my G1 and MyTouch.

Some people think they have an issue and they don't.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Right on man. I've been trying to say this for days, but people seem to not get it. The antenna placement obviously contributes to a decrease in signal, but it's not the main issue. The main "problem" is T-mobile's 3G saturation in a lot of areas. Again, here inside my Toledo apartment, I easily get the phone to drop to Edge by holding the phone low. Sitting in the middle of my sister's apartment in Chicago (Lincoln Park), I can't make the phone drop to Edge no matter how I hold it. It's obvious that T-mobile has more "towers per capita" in Chicago than here in Toledo. That's the crux of the issue people are seeing, plain and simple.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Same here in New York. I discovered its a design flaw and NOT a issue with software. I did some testing and come to a conclusion that its purely network strength!

If I am in my apartment, I get 2-3bars of 3G. If I put my hand at the bottom, it switches to edge or no signal(depending on my settings). Where as if I'm in Times Square in an building, I get full signal. But regardless of how I cover the phone it will not loose 3G, the most would be a 1 bar lost. ALL N1 has this problem! The videos on youtube are very inconsistent with demonstrating the problem with holding the phone and coverage area. Even the rep I spoke with said he didn't have a problem with his N1, but in truth he had full bars in a strong area. This is theory though, can be proven with 4 N1s in the same area together.

If anyone willing to give this a shot let me know...
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
This is what I've been saying to everybody and they just don't get it. It's not HTC or Android. It's T-Mobile. I've had T-Mobile for over 5 years. I've had the G1 since it released, the MyTouch since it released and the N1 since it released.

They're all the same. It's not the phone or the OS. It's T-Mobile. They just don't have the power that AT&T does in that aspect. I'd like to have AT&T's network but I don't want to use only Edge. Also I pay less with T-Mobile even with my AT&T discount.
[Nexus One General] HighTech216:
Which is too bad, I'd rather this phone melt my brain than drop my signal. haha:D

EDIT: Indeed, this IS TMobile's fault. But I can assure you without a doubt that this problem is more prevalent in this phone. I'm in the Cleveland area, 3g sucks around here. I started actually picking up a 3g signal in July of last year, after owning the phone since November. This problem will be based completely on your location, and most of you will never encounter it. (unless you plan a trip to the lovely state of Ohio or some equally flat, economically deficient area)
