I have exactly the same problem, it wouldnt let me puck my own location...except the one picked by the phoneitself. For instance I live in bromley and when HTC set bromley as current location, there is no data available, however If I look for bromley myself and and add as a second location, the weather infor is available for that but the phone will not let me set that one as my current location.
[Desire General] cez10:
sometimes the current location is unavailable for some reason, however if you add another city and use exactly the same location as for current location it will work fine and then you can set it as your default weather status:)
[Desire General] beaker656:
I like "Jabbypants" have emailed HTC as from what I can see it is a backward step not allowing us to use the map to pinpoint locations we want to know the weather for.

Maybe if enough email we may get a response?? Or somekind soul from HTC that reads these post will put up an "unofficial fix"??

[Desire General] saayinla:
I have tried that but it did not work..
[Desire General] daesimps:
I too had an oddity with the weather widget last night.

I'm in Leeds in the UK. That's the Leeds in Yorkshire, not in Kent. The weather widget only offers one Leeds, but doesn't state which one it is.

That seemed fair enough until last night. The weather for current location (Leeds) was different from the manually added city (Leeds also). I'm talking major difference - one said snow/rain with 2 degrees and the other said sunny at 8 degrees.

I'd like to figure out which Leeds is actually the one listed for manual selection. It obviously recognises both locations as showed the different weather for them both, but only lets you choose one manually.

Dae.

Edit. It's doing it again now. Leeds(current) shows 7 degrees, sunny and tomorrow (Monday) at 12 degree high with rain. Manually added Leeds shows current 8, cloudy with tomorrow being 11 degree high with Sun!!!
[Desire General] beaker656:
Well I have had a response from HTC, directly via email and via facebook.

Basically the "pinpoint" method employed on earlier android UE's has been removed due to a lack of customer trust. People didn't believe the weather it displayed for locations.

Email conversation is below

"Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the weather widget for your new Desire.

The Google map pinpointing technique you describe is no longer available. However, you can still find your location by doing the following:

- From the home screen, tap on Weather (or click menu and then Weather).

- Once in Weather, tap Menu. This will give you a keyboard so that you can type your preferred location.

I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

Kind regards"

I then tried a different tack

Thanks for the reply,

though the technique you describe

- From the home screen, tap on Weather (or click menu and then Weather).

- Once in Weather, tap Menu. This will give you a keyboard so that you can type your preferred location.

is flawed in that it is limited by the locations stored in the UE's database? I can't say for instance pick "Famagusta" in Cyprus as a location I want the weather for, as the UE only brings up Limassol or Nicosia in Cyprus (2 locations for a large island). I know that is a wide of the mark example, but I spend time there, though is is the same for most European countries.

Is there any way to expand the geographic database or do we have to wait for someone to hack it, like they did on Windows Mobile based devices such as the Diamond, where we could edit the database with locations from accuweather.com

Any further info would be most welcome as it has somewhat taken the shine off my progression from handset to handset (last 5 all HTC) which seemed to offer more to the consumer and be more customer orientated in that we could personalise them.

Many thanks

"Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the database. We cannot offer support regarding 3rd party applications, such as you describe. However, you are certainly free to investigate this avenue yourself.

We will feed back to HQ with your comments, but at this time, the locations in the list are the only ones available.

Kind regards,"

I'll be keeping an eye on any developments for this because I'd like it to be able to tell me the weather in Ipsos on Corfu. As it is, Corfu island is omitted altogether.
[Desire General] boltPT:
Anyone with this problem?

My current location displays Portugal instead of Lisbon.

My HTC Hero displayed my location correctly, local city detail instead of county detail.
[Desire General] xfile087:
The weather widget really annoys me. My location is not on the list and if I tell it to current location it knows where I am but says no weather data available. I can view the weather okay on accuweather.com so it's just the widget that won't show it for some reason.
[Desire General] solaris78:
I also asked :

I cannot set MY LOCATION manually. Strange, but I live in Bucharest which is the capital of the country and the weather program from Sense UI finds the city but in the HOME screen the weather it's different (not Bucharest). So my location it is not set manually, the GPS and google settings knows that I'm in Bucharest but the weather shown in HOME Screen it's not Bucharest - instead I have (I guess) Weather for Romania (no city , only Romania). Before writing this e-mail I did some research on the net and the user manual, and I find out that My location it is taken from network settings or something like that. This is not normal and it's very annoying. All I'm asking it's a way to set my location manually or a real automatic setting for this! Romania it's quite big you know ????? Thank you and I'm expecting your answer urgent! Kind regards!

This is what they answered:

Thank you for contacting us,

Regarding the issue you're facing, kindly be informed that if you disable the automatic location settings your location will be determined from the world clock that you can set manually but you will not receive any weather updates, you can try to use another SIM card from a different operator to check if this issue will persist or not, you can also try to searching the Android Market to check if there are any 3rd party applications that might help you with this issue.
[Desire General] Snowskip:
Same issue here, weather for Paris works great, but I would like to add the small village where I spend my week-ends, and I can't find it in the database...

Looks like the cities are stored in an xml file, but I don't where to find it...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] webeestie:
Please don't flame me for not searching an answer for this, but I've been looking for 2 hours without success for a solution.

I have a Touch Pro2 that is for a buddy, so not even my phone, and she has no data allowance in her contract, so any weather lookup, microsoft My Phone or internet connections are going to cost her dearly till she sorts out a new Sim & contract.

Is there an easy way to turn data connections off, leaving the SMS service alone, then to switch it back on in the future when the Sim is changed? I know that on my own HD2 if you simply turn off data connection in the comm manager it switches back on when the phone is reset or thinks that data is needed.

I'd appreciate any help or pointers please! I'm going blind on these forums! :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Markstar:
Can't find any of those settings

...

I can find neither of these settings on my Energy ROM (which I flashed right after I got it).

I also found this, which would be my preferred solution - if I could find it. :o :

I did ask this in the Energy ROM thread, but nobody answered me there. But I am looking for a general solution (without extra software), since I'm not sure I really want to stick with this ROM.

Thanks in advance for your time!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pappydapimp:
GRRR!! This is really starting to bug me!! The problem began about 6 months ago when I still had the good ol' original Tilt. I'll begin uploading, let's say, a photo. A single photo. Any size, doesn't matter. It begins uploading fine but will ALWAYS, suddenly and for no apparent reason, stop uploading. I have no idea why!

Obviously it's not a rom issue since this problem has followed me from phone to phone. I've flashed 3 or 4 separate roms on the Tilt 2 and experienced the problem with every one of them. Even the stock rom!!!

I've tried installing the cabs for removing the hidden AT&t proxies and whatnot, but it's no help.

I can't even run a speed test!! On speedtest.net it flys through the download portion at about 1.9 Mbps, the upload hits 0.81 consistently, but once the progress gets to 99% it of course stops uploading. And the speed begins to fall as the test continues running without any upload traffic.

I've tried letting it sit overnight while I slept, hoping maybe it was just hiccups in the connection or some other kind of illogical nonsense. But sure enough, I wake up and it's at the same spot it was when I left it.

I also thought it may have been that my account was somehow flagged by AT&T for too much data use, since I don't actually pay for the tethering. But I've been told MOST WinMo users don't pay for their tethering and none have had this problem? Nonetheless, I even went so far as to CLOSE MY ACCOUNT AND OPEN A NEW ONE!! Still no luck.

Uploads work great phoneside... quick, reliable... but as soon as it's connected to the computer I can't do SH8T!!!

Not through Bluetooth

Not through WiFi sharing

Not through USB

So I pray to you, the infinitely wise Gods of XDA. Please! Hear my prayers and guide me to the answer I seek!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pappydapimp:
no one knows what might cause this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
I don't really know why it is causing that problem. I did a quick search and many people complain about the same thing. But also I read a lot of positive responses about a few programs that help you tether. You could always try it and see if it helps.

Also tried soft-reseting & gave the same result. So is there any other method you guys know ?

I don't know of any cooked ROM for the Blackstone. But, you can easily change the language of Sense on many WWE ROMS to Swedish by changing the registry value in \HKCU\MUI\CurLang to the numbers 1053. It's not perfect, but at least Sense is (mostly) in Swedish.
