Default New Dual Owner advice wanted

I am pretty happy with the dual but i have a few irritations that i could do with some help on:-

1) why does the weather only update when you click on it, is there anyway to have it update every hour so its available when i select it and dont have to wait for it to go get the info.
2) The keyboard is great for typing worgs but a royal pain in the ass for website addresses and email addresses etc, any ideas for a better way
3) Anyway to edit the programs in the launcher and add extras

Cheers
Chris

I had the same issue with HTC weather panel NOT auto updating when I had Orange UK ROM but since flashing the HTCAsia WEE ROM now it auto updates what ROM do you have?

As for alternative keyboard maybe you should look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=pcm+keyboard

and for editing the programs in the launcher and add extras I'm sure I saw tweak out there but can't remember where I saw it, do a search!
Nokia Lumia 920

Previous Handsets: HTC Titan, HTC HD7, Samsung Omnia 7, HTC HD2

1 - go to the city select menu in the weather page and select menu and options with the soft key. You should then have a tick box to select automatic updates and roaming updates although I'm not sure what the timing intervals are

Your on your own with 2&3 though - sorry
V1605 with Voda (still wm5 - not enough bottle for wm6 yet!) / its on ebay! Gone to HTC Touch Dual and love it

All gone! Time for a change so G2 HTC Hero and its fantastic!

I use the TouchPal keyboard. After some practice, you can get pretty fast at it. You can find it at http://www.cootek.com/

they have one free version and a more robust version for a cost. I find the free version more than adequate for me.
