T-Mobile wing 5.99 weather?

[kidnamedAlbert]

...If you heavily use the net on your phone, then maybe the full plan would be best for you, but if you are only a lite user, the 5.99 is much more practical for e-mail, weather, etc.
i dont see how he uses the 5.99 plan for email or weather.
the only weather program(actually plugin) is htc home. and thats with the htc home proxy patch
how can i use my 5.99 plan to check weather?(on manilla themes, miniColour theme, etc.)

well, one guesses that he uses HTC home weather plugin.

My guess is that other plugins/programs will have to be specifically modified like the HTC home proxy patch to do the same.

damn cuz im really liking this miniColour theme(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413776) but no weather. it updates with mortscript and yahoo weather so im pretty sure it cant be modified like the proxy patch

do you know what the proxy patch does and how it works? If it's simply setting a proxy, i see no reason why one can't be set for your theme.

Is it possible to set a sort of a global proxy through which ALL outgoing gprs connections are sent? THAT would be the answer to your problem.

its under htc home registry and a new htc home.dll
but ill see if i can find a universal proxy somewhere.
oh maybe ask some one with a dash and a wing and see if they both have the dash 5.99 full internet hack.

If you would like to check the weather, just open opera mini and navigate to m.weather.com.

Is that what you're looking for?

i think they wanted the full integration of the weather section on the htc home plugin. i had the 5.99 plan for a day or two, but no instant messenger programs worked, no built-in weather (on spb mobile shell, htc home plugin, etc) worked seamlessly, and email didnt work for me. People said that the tzones hack wasnt noticeably different in speed than the total internet add on, but i can notice it. the total add on is MUCH faster and you get full capability with email, weather, IM, and more.

I have the 5.99 internet plan on my Wing. Weather for the HTC Home plugin was always hit and miss. I've heard you can open a browser, and when it's connected to the internet you can minimize and check the HTC Home weather and it works. Seems like too much just to get the weather. I currently check weather using the Spb Menu 2.1 and it updates weather fine, I can browse using Opera no problem. E-mail has to be configured using a different connection without T-Mobile's proxy added (at least that's how it worked for me). Just an FYI tho, don't know if it's this way with other devices, but any time I made any changes to the connections (T-Mobile Data, T-Mobile MMS) the changes don't take effect til you soft reset. Best way I've found is just use the Network Wizard in Connections to get internet set up on the device. Other than that, even with the HTC Home proxy fix, I still couldn't get it to work reliably.
