Weather on HTC clock

[ballandbiscuit]

I have just updated to the latest ROM and have gone back to the HTC clock now it isn't so sluggish. This incorporates weather but my town isn't recognised. So I just get my town name and no weather. Now on all the weather sites if I put in my town it just has the same data as Norwich so I'd be happy if it showed me the weather in Norwich when I am in Wymondham.

Any way to do this?

Cheers

Same problem here. Any solutions?

For some reason it doesn't seem to like wi-fi, are you connecting via your phone network? It seems a bit of a law into itself though, where I live it seems to update with no consistency, often claiming no data but at other times working properly. On the other hand while out for a drive in the middle of nowhere the other day I notced it was picking up and naming every town we passed, even if they consisted of 3 houses and a sheep!

Yeah, the same thing happend to me. I was driving to my cousin's (50mins drive), it was working beautifully - changing the location and updating. However, at home it's not working at all. At home I use wi-fi, but even when I go to work and switch to my network's internet it's still not picking up anything. Frustrating.

What's annoying is that if you go to the website which the app pulls data from (I'm not sure how I got it to come up right now but it was via the app) it has my town listed, which is what why I thought it might have something to do with data and location marking or somesuch.

On top of this, If I go to town (still in the same area as my phone says my home is) I get the info.

[tkm89]

The exact same situation here. I've added my town manually to the list and it's working absolutely fine! Yet the current location (which displays the right name of my town) is displaying no data. So annoying!

So whenever I want to check the weather I have to go to the seperate widget to check and am not able to do that on the clock-weather widget.

I removed the original widget, and added it back with my explicit town, now works fine.

shame the auto-location one doesn't work though.

Holy Crap, that works!

I can't seem to do this as my actual town is not on the list. Despite this sometimes it shows my town under the clock with the weather yet if I go into the weather widget application is says no data available!!!

annoying; you'll just have to pick the nearest town that is on the list, and put up with the "wrong" name, at least until the main issue is fixed.

What i found worked was leave it on 'current city' when your somewhere that is actually in the list, refresh the weather app and it will show the weather for that area. After that when you get back it keeps the weather up. Well thats what mine has done, where i live isnt in the list either but i know have weather when i didnt when i first turned it on.

Another point on this one, if it can't get any weather details it doesn't show you the date either!

Can you force the weather on the clock to just stay on a city of your choice?

Good question; I've assumed that if you add a city manually, when adding the widget, then it would stay on that city even as you move around. But perhaps it doesn't. Clearly I need to get out more :)

Didnt work for me. I had to do a data wipe. Worked fine afterwards. Although I backed up my SMS data so I didnt lose anything

I might be blind, but I can't find where you can remove the widget and add it back again?

It's not obvious until you've done it once, agreed :)

to remove widgets in the Sense UI, you touch-and-hold them for a few seconds, then drag them down to the "Remove" area that has appeared at the bottom, and which turns red when you're over it. Then release.

In the same way, you can move widgets about....

Then, hit the + button, or just touch-hold on the backgroun, to add a widget back.

apols if you knew all this and I've missed the point...

Thanks, but it was my fault. I didn't realise the thread was about the Sense UI. I am running M2D.
