I just got an answer from the weather provider, it appears that they're expanding the available locations database, gradually adding it to the mobile feed. So both towns should be available at some time but I don't know when !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
Hello,

It's 1.55pm local time, 11 May 2011, Wednesday. On Live Tile, it shows as 27 deg C, time stamp 11/05, 07.05. My HD 7 date & time is set as On for "Set automatically" and 24-hour clock.

At their website, it reads:

Mattino = Morning = 28 deg C

Pomeriggio = Afternoon = 34 deg C

Sera = Evening = 28 deg C

Notte = Night = 26 deg C

On my HD7, there are no morning, afternoon, evening or night temperaturs, only those below.

Now = 26 deg C

Feels like 30 deg C

Daily Forecast Shows:

Wed = 30.3 and 26.2 deg C

Thur = 30.2 and 26.3 deg C etc.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Alright thanks. First, I'm talking with the Meteosolutions people to better interpret the xml feed I'm using, which isn't terribly clear. From that I 'think' that I misinterpreted the local time zone parameter and that could explain why your live tile shows the incorrect time.

Secondly, please check the '6 hour forecast' section inside the application, where you can find for every day forecast and temperature for:

Night

Morning

Afternoon

Evening

If you can compare it to what the website says, we'll confirm it's only a timezone issue

Thanks

[EDIT] actually it might just be that the live tile timestamp is wrong, maybe 6 hours behind (difference with feed time zone). Is this possible ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
When I clicked on "Every six hours" square, it leads me to a page with "Today", "Tomorrow", In 2 Days, Sat and Sun.

It is 9.11pm now, 11 May 2011.

"Today" - 32 deg C (website, 28, 35, 28, 26)

"Tomorrow" - 26.4, 26.8,30.2,28.6 (website, 28, 33, 27, 26)

In 2 Days - 26.6, 27, 29, 28 (website, 28, 35, 28, 26)

Sat -26.8,26.7, 36.2, 27.8 (website, 28, 34, 28, 26)

Sun - 26.1, 27.9,,36.5, 27.8 (website, 28, 34, 28, 26)

Mon - 26, 27.6, 37.5, 27.6 (website, 28, 35, 27, 25)

Tue - 25.3, 27, 37.8, 27.4 (website, 27, 36, 27, 25)

If I click on any of the temperature, it says "Hourly detail not available".

Looking at the data, both data are different and it looks to me the temperatures on the website looks correct.

The temperature is showing 32 deg C and feels like 40 deg C, last update (today) at 9.21pm.

Live Tile shows 32 deg C, 11/05 15:14.

It seems that you might be right to suspect that the Live Tile temperature is 6 hours off.

May I suggest that if you make any changes and before you send it to Microsoft, send the xap to me first for testing, just to make sure that the changes are correct. You can PM me for my email.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
No problem, thanks.

First, I should clarify that the feed they're passing me isn't an exact replica of the data shown on the website, probably because they've changed the website but couldn't change the feed because it would break other applications.

In particular they don't provide me the day as Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night. Rather they provide it starting with NIGHT, which on the website it would be from the day before, that is to say on the website you see this:

6:00-12:00

12:00-18:00

18:00-24:00

24:00-06:00 (of the day after)

and on the application you see:

24:00-06:00

6:00-12:00

12:00-18:00

18:00-24:00

Does this solve the difference you see inside the application ? Hourly detail is available only in Italy, sorry.

For the live tile, my suspects are that the data is correct, but the timestamp is wrong... again I'll look into this more closely.

Thanks for the offer to test the xap, I would REALLY like to do it, unfortunately I think I can't since the weather provider wouldn't want me to distribute it. I'll try to report here the data I see for Singapore and you can tell me if it's ok ? Thanks a lot
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
Thanks for the explanation but it doesn't seems like it.

Sure do, as long as it can be fixed.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
It's going to be fixed for sure, I only need to find better answers from the weather provider. Unfortunately they were in the middle of website restructuring for the last few months and couldn't spare much time. Now that I've published the update to the Alchemic game I can look into it more leisurely too.

I'm sure it's going to be fixed in a couple of versions max.

Thanks for the patience.

Do you have the same local time problem with the 'forecast' live tile ?

[EDIT] I've just pushed a manual update to your tile. It seems it has been received, anyway check this and following tiles if they're correct at least with the timestamp

Man it's hot there !!

[EDIT again] I think what you see in the live tile is correct, but I'm not sure if inside the app the timezone is set to the weather feed or to the phone clock, I'll have to check this

live tiles are not working for me with this app, just like all the other apps with tiles...

I've tried the regedit hack but nothing has changed...

I will' not hard reset the phone losing all the data (sms) just for this problem... Will Microsoft solve it or we just need to wait christmas for Mango update ?

p.s. I'm using Lg Optimus 7 with Vodafone (IT)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I'm actually asking this to dev support every other day. The final word is that, yes, you'll (WE'LL) have to wait for future updates, although we're seeing two different issues.

The one where you don't receive any update at all, it's where the registry is involved and should solve it. For the most part it's just that the entries registered as live tiles got somehow stuck. If this doesn't solve it for you, mmmmh, not sure. What happens when you check the live tile status inside my application ?

Hard resetting should have the same result as the regedit.

The update Mango features is that live tile will work better with european networks and not optimal conditions. This is a good step in the right direction although a tad late maybe.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] giammo:
When I check the live tile status inside the app I see : "Waiting response from Microsoft servers"
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Ok this is the mysterious problem. Try this stuff in order, every time checking if the message is the same

- reboot the phone

- Check live tile

- Check if you have keys under endpoints and managed endpoints. If you have, delete the single keys. Reboot

- Check live tile

- if it still doesn't work, delete the entire subtree "endpoints" and "managed endpoints". Reboot

- Check live tile

- start invoking all the calendar Saints !

To foreign users

Please note that it appears the feed used by the program only recognizes italian names of the nation capitals ! I'm going to try to fix this in next updates, but for now if you're looking for London, search 'Londra', Paris -> Parigi, etc
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] giammo:
I tried all that stuff, but nothing has happened...

p.s. there's only 1 live tile that seems to work even before I erased the two directories : the weather channel...

p.s. 2 did you read this news ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks for the link, that's interesting, but it seems it's another story, since the error that pops up at least tells you something (that the url is too long, happens mostly with ssl which 3b doesn't use). In this case this is what happens:

* Phone contact Microsoft servers asking for a channel Uri (an ID) and providing the name of the channel it wants.

... no reply ! At all !

Yours seem to be the worst situation, which doesn't provide much details on what's happening. Unfortunately the customer support basically said 'yes, we know it happens, when we know why and we fix it we'll let you know'

Are you by chance with WiFI and behind a proxy/firewall ?

Ok the live tile should be ok. At 8:00 the live tile will show you:

On top, the forecast for the next 6h period, that is to say, the forecast starting at 12:00

On bottom, the 4 subsequent 6h periods, that is to say,

period starting at 18:00

period starting at 24:00

period starting at 8:00

period starting at 12:00

The 6h forecast inside the app is worrying. I'll look into it. I assume the phone clock on the same timezone as the forecast ?

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
It's random. It means the channel used by 3B is somehow stuck on your phone. As you reported it happened for other applications too, but there is really not much that one can do about it.

Assuming you have the last version of 3B

Finally I've found some time to look into it a bit better (had to finish an Alchemic Phone 7 update hehe). I think the feed time sections are messed up for eastern locations, I've just sent the weather provider a big email explaining the issue, I hope they can follow up briefly. In the meantime you can play the game heheh. Just kidding, however, I am correct in assuming the forecast on the website is more or less accurate, while the one in the application (6h steps) is mostly off, as well as the live tile one ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Got a reply from the weather provider (quick!) . They are currently (this week) upgrading the system to add more foreign locations to the mobile feed, bringing it on par with the website. This apparently should also solve the mismatch.

It's rather hard for me to answer, since other than numbers on the website, I can't read any of the rest of the words.

Regarding weather forecast information in the app, I need clarifications.

On 21 May, 7.53pm, I only saw 12 to 18 @ 27.9 degree and on 23 May, 9.15 am, I only saw 6 to 12 @ 30.9 deg and 12 to 18 @ 28 deg. For the following days, I could see 4 temperature readings. I suspect the 0 to 6 and 18 to 24 for "Today" is not working.

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I suspect that's for the aforementioned reasons: they are in the process of reorganizing timezone reading for the xml feed we use on mobile. That is basically offset for the '6 hour period' in respect to the italian one, which is unfortunately inconsistent with the feed standard. In other words, what you're seeing is the right forecast, 'skipping' one 6-hour period.

When I asked them if I should do something to correct this, since it happens only with distant timezones, they told me they're currently fixing this themselves and I should keep displaying the feed the 'correct' way, as for italian cities, which keeps your local time in consideration.

I hope they can fix it soon, they told they intended doing so last week... I'll email them again if necessary. My problem is that if I change the application somewhat to handle this inconsistency, when they fix it in the xml feed, it will be even worse !

sometimes (expecially after I trun on the phone in the morning) tile stops to update...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
That's how the network works at times, I think. If the push system sees you as not receiving the update for a while, the system doesn't try hard as before to send you the update. As soon as you receive one, you're on the 'nice' list.

Since no one knows exactly their algorythm, this is just speculation though

I'd like to report a problem with live tile (I suppose) arisen with the last update.

If I activate tile support into the app, I'm not able to start the application: it stuck at "loading" screen.

I'm pretty sure it's something about live tile since I've re-installed the application several times, and all went fine until I tried to set up live tile. I don't know if the problem is related to a particular city.

I don't run an official wp7 but a port for HTC HD 2

Alright... So I'm 100% new to themeing... Never touched XML files before (didn't touch them here either lol) and I was really just looking to change some things that I didn't like about RLS5 and take some things that I liked from Warm Z RLS1 and kinda combine them. First I wanna thank Myn of course, I love both ROMS, and also wanna thank dmoses1969's as i used portions of his great theme "Black & Bold" for Warm Z. I used Ninjamorph for everything, and some of these custom icons I made were a pain! Especially the battery icon (combination of over 130 icons i think)! Let me know what you guys think. And your help/suggestions are appreciated. Also I would love to know where to go from here to make this flashable or whatever (still clueless on this one lol).:p

Notification Icons I have completed so far include: Music player, email, text message, text message error, voicemail, missed call, call on speaker phone, ringer silent, ringer vibrate, cellular signal, all 3g, all 4g, alarm clock, wifi (disconnected through max reception), all battery icons, bluetooth disconnected, bluetooth connected, gmail, file/app download arrow (animated), file/app upload arrow (animated), app update notification, sync (animated), USB connected, in-call muted, call connected, and wifi tether. Also have the icons in the power controls in the notification drop down (as seen below).

NOTE: I still cannot find where the icon is located for A. the wifi tether app icon that is @ top notification area (for RLS5), B. the USB icon also located @ top notification area, C. the icon that pops up when you have apps that have updates available (also in top notification area) D. icon in notification area showing you that a download is complete and finally E. i would love to know where the app drawer icons are located so I can start working on all of those.
