[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
I've searched for this issue without success.

I love my HD2, but the weather it displays is simply wrong.

The temperatures are often (almost all the time), much different from reality, and what I mean by reality is the actual temperature in my city as reported by Environment Canada.

For example, right now it's 12C, but my HD2 is reporting 8C. Yes, I just updated the phone, and this problem occurs virtually ALL the time.

The actual weather conditions are often wrong, too, but not as often as the temperature differences.

Where does the HD2 get its temperature from? Can it be changed?

Thanks,

Peter

this is true, yesterday i was in Southport,UK..it was bright and sunny and abt 9 or 10 degrees, but for some reason accuweather thought it was 3 degrees with heavy rain. this obv, is not the phones fault..but is there any way we can link the weather app to a more reliable source?
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
Hmm, "Accuweather" appears to be an oxymoron.

Yes, I wish there was another link to which we could direct the application.
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
Not Accuweather ... ?

You suggested that it's Accuweather from which the HD2 gets its weather; however, I just checked Accuweather's Canada site, and their information for Mississauga, where I live is, in fact, correct.

So, I wonder where the HD2 gets its data?
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
On a related issue, I just tried entering the city where my in-laws live, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China.

On Accuweather's site, there are five possibilities for Jinhua, but on the HD2, the moment I enter the name Jinhua, there is but ONE selection. How can I be sure it's the right one? I checked all five sites in China, and their weather reports vary widely.
[HD2 General] mrmomoman:
it must be the same place APPLE IPHONE get's its weather update.

Right now it is:

66 degree F on Weather Channel App

My desktop Accuweather displays 68 deg. F

My IPHONE is showing 43 deg. F and rainy. It's not raining outside - Its sunny!
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
Weather very strange ...

Okay, now I'm even more confused.

I noticed on the main weather screen a link to "More Detail Online" towards the lower right. I clicked on that and got Accuweather's mobile site for my location, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Now here's what's strange: According to Environment Canada, the current temperature is 9C at Pearson Airport, not far from where I live, and where the weather facility is located.

My HD2 main screen, just updated, says that the temperature is 3C, but when I click on the link noted above, and go to the online site, Accuweather says it's 9C, the accurate temperature.

Why does my HD2 main screen not reflect Accuweather's data, the site from which it gets its weather?

Anyone?

This is really stupid. What's the point of having weather on your main screen if it's not accurate (not even remotely accurate), especially with such a great home screen weather display?
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
It's obvious that Sense uses Accuweather as its source. Question though is it the phone/software that messes up so there are sometimes huge differences between phone and Accuweather website ? Try another weather program to find that out. I can recommend you two excellent programs:

1. Touch Weather, which has multiple providers, such as AccuWeather, GisMeteo, Wetter.com, etc (www.touch-weather.com). There is a 15 day trial of the Pro version

2. G-Weather from www.ageye.de (only for Europeans). Also here a trial version.

Personally I use Touch Weather, G-Weather, SPB Weather and Sense UI weather in that order.

P.S. In most cases Sense is giving me the right weather information of my choosen location.

I found a nice app in the HTC Leo section with works like a charme with my Topaz (Shipped Rom with Sense 2.5.20121226.0).

You have 3 (!!!) Screens where you can add your favorite programms, contacts or favorites and its very finger-friendly.

Wonder that i don't read about it here. It makes my phone like a phone must be.

Now, i run this for the last 3 days without any problems.

So, switching from a dumb phone to a smart phone, I had a very cool incoming text message 'phrase' that I want to put on my Imagio, but I cannot find where they are kept.

I searched for a particular sound preinstalled (DogBark), and can't find it when Searching Phone. I already re-installed ringtones for my contacts, that was easy. But this is proving to be frustrating.

Any help either in the location of these specific WAV files, or should I be saving them under a different file type?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
You should be able to drop them in windows directory and they will show in sounds settings. You can also place them in Application Data\sounds

Will try Zelendel! Will give you a heads up once done.

Hallo,

I've made new icons with Photoshop and hope that you'll enjoy the icons! ;) The easier way to install the icons is to use JWMD Icon Changer but you can also change every icon by self. :D

Some pictures:

To install the icons, just put the extracted folder on your phone, start JWMD Icon Changer, go to Menu->Theme->Load Theme and search the folder and click on the last file. I couldn't "put" some icons in the theme, so you must install some icons by your self (like Skyfire or FpseCE).

Ever thought about the fact that the leaks we get are in very early releases? and not allways the ones demoed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Exactly what I was thinking
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Just my 2 cents:

I base my roms mostly on AOSP, since the stock/release versions by carriers are usually too slow/bulky, be it native-app performance wise, apk-localization, etc.

Which is why I only rely on the binaries I've compiled myself, with my own compile-time optimizations.

Imagine how much more you have to load when your apk contains all the localizations available, instead of containing JUST the one you need.

Although I do hybridize my apks sometimes.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
whats so good about the legend compared to hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
I have been thinking the very same.. The hardware difference is so small that i believe the Hero is capable of doing the same as the legend. And the chefs here will make it possible sooner og later.

The only reason i am condering the legend is because it has a very nice design imo.. But i do not think thats enough reason to spend so many money once again

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I'm sure that's what he meant when he said "Ever thought about the fact that the leaks we get are in very early releases? and not allways the ones demoed?"

If he had the current ROM he would have said something along the lines of:

"I have the current ROM, but looks like the widget designs are different..."

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpgsk:
Hello i recently bought an older xperia x1. The problem is that the battery is emty in really shor time (10 hours), so i bought a new one. But the problem is the same.

I tried Kovsky unoff rom, also official rom.

Also tried clean rom with nothing installed and no settings changed, also some power management apps for win mobile.

Everything is turned off, wifi, data connection...

abcPowermeter shows 150mA power consumption, also when display is off.

taskmanager shows only 5-10% CPU usage for gwes.exe, i think thats normal when rendering results from taskmanager and all other CPU is for idle process.

I dunno what to try to solve this problem. Any ideas ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
My guess is you are running an always active program (like an IM program) that is sucking juice.

You may want to do a clean install and run it for a couple of days. See if the problem is your hardware or if it is that some software is the cause.

My battery life has improved from about 11-12 hours to about 48 hours after removing Palringo from my startup folder.

Also you mentioned you tried a clean ROM with no installed programs. If you didn't install any and you consistently have short battery time you have a hardware issue. Do the hard-reset, flash, hard-reset to ensure a clean install. Use a good ROM and do not install any apps. If after 4 days you still have short battery life then either your battery is dying (or generic and bad quality) or you have a hardware fault.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpgsk:
i tried hard-reset, flash, hard-reset. No changes :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackleung:
150ma idle is quite high IMHO. I run a test before because someone question my roms' battery usage and it should be around 80ma idle. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4784976&highlight=battery#post4784976

1. load the same radio.

2. Install Homescreen ++

3. Follow the conditions I tested over that post and see what you got.

Make sure you are in an area with good GSM signal too. Bad signal could lead your phone use a lot more power.

BTW, I found FDC task manager may not report real CPU usage especially if problem with services.exe. Try Memmaid to read CPU usage.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydock:
That acbpowermeter is a cool app. I never realized the panel I was using used so much power, and I didn't think having wifi on would consume as much as it did. Right now I'm using the WM6.1 that came with my phone and using the SonyEricsson panel with wifi off, and I'm getting an average of 70-80mA with the display on. Is this a good number?

I was looking into flashing to a 6.5 rom. Would I be getting better or similar battery consumption than the 6.1? If not, I think I'd rather just stay on 6.1 and customize my today screen with some eye candy, etc.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpgsk:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ddrees:
Ok I followed a tutorial on how to change the lock screen over on android forums (can't post link due to being a new user) and the way all of there's look is they have a square style lock screen, however every time I try and change mine to either ones that I have created, or others that they have created it still gives me that bar style clock on the lock screen. How do I change it to the square one? I've attached pictures showing the two clocks I'm talking about.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] KBizzle:
That box is implemented into the picture. They are removing the bar and just adding the black square to the wallpapers picture so it aligns with the clock.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
No they aren't, it is an actual lockscreen with the box underlaying the clock on any wallpaper. I have used it before.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bud1i9ht:
on 1.5 just pull HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app open it (I use WinRAR) go to \res\drawable-480x320\ and edit the lockscreen_topedge.png file or replace it with the png of your liking (same dimensions) and make sure you name it the same. push it back to your phone and reboot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ccapasso:
Actually, when I made those I added the box myself into the png :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ddrees:
I did that but I'm still getting that same stock clock
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
It works. I've never had experience editting any of the Android files. I followed the guide step by step and it did work. Make sure you're keeping the directory structure intact and resigning the zipfile correctly. Flash it through recovery mode.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ddrees:
I know it works I just can't seem to get the clock to change. The only thing I can think of is that I'm not flashing properly, what exactly do u do in the recovery area?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Technically, it's not the clock you are trying to change, it's the image behind it. The clock (text) itself remains the same.

Drop the zip file on the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, and try flashing it that way, rather than (assuming) through the pre-kitchen, if that is they way you previously tried.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ddrees:
In recovery you just choose apply sd card: choose zip right?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Yeah, it's called 'apply update zip' or something like that.
