weather question

[skaroger867]

so i recieved my viva today and so far i love it. but on the weather tab i cannot get it to pull up where i live. i got a city pretty close but not the exact one i want. am i missing something, i click add location type in city, state and hit select and i either get a random city or one i did not want. i tried zipcode but it failed too.

in which city/state do you live? So I can try in mine and let you know how it goes...

Hey, the problem seems to be that the city is not in the database of the touchflo2d.
Actually neither Radcliff nor Vine Grove are in the accuwheater & HTC database.
What the application does is perform a query like this:

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW YORK

If the result is a nice, long xml then you will see the data in the wheather tab.
If you see
<weather>

<usage>HTC Pocket PC Weather Forecast</usage>
</weather>

You wont :(
What you might want to do is replace the last parameters with some other combination of cities that might work. I have already tried
NAM|US|KY|VINE GROVE
NAM|US|KY|RADCLIFF
NAM|US|KY|FORT KNOX
NAM|US|KY|RADCLIFF
NAM|US|KY|IRVINGTON

Without luck... Please give it a try with some other cities (I just searched in wikipedia which cities are near you, I live in Argentina so you might probably have a better idea :))

when you find a city with returns results, go to the windows folder in your phone and find the file: HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
Copy it to your desktop, edit it and add a line like
<city name="Vine Grove, KY, US" loca="NAM|US|KY|VINE GROVE" land="United States"/>

(this one won't work, I have already tried that in my phone just to be sure, sorry).
Save it (is read only so you should change that before saving), and take it back to your phone.
Disable Touchflo from the Today settings, enable it again and that should be it

Best of luck!
