Weather App

[purple8]

Hi is there a better weather that can run from the touch flo buttons. With the default one i cant get a town near to me the nearest is 10 miles away, so the weather is out.

Thanks

as a newb to WM i had tha same problem, but after a few questions on here and some help from

Hamz22 and jamie walsh i got it sorted, big thanks to them and i hope this helps other newbs like me

so for all those newbs here is how you change the weather location to places not listed in the default program on the TP2

1.Download and instal total commander http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
, also instal net framework 3.5
2.once installed open TC up and look in the phones windows directroy for this file 2330fc3c_manila

3. when you find it using TC copy it to the stoagr card on your phone

a box will come up and the location wiil be \\windows**, to save it stoagecard change the location to \Storage card and then click copy

4. still in TC go to the storage card and find the file , open the file details in TC its the right hand side button on the top row of commands, and uncheck the read only box

5.now using TC copy this file back to its original windows directory on the phone.

6. download the weather location app and install on the phone version 1.20 is needed

using this you can now add towns and cities

to get the Accu view weather location for your area if in the uk go here

http://www.accuweather.com/world-ind...|UK108|Chorley

as you can see this location is for chorley so the accu code for that is EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley

once you have added a new town etc you need to do a soft reset for to be able to use it

just confirming this worked like a charm

Sorry guys didn't work for me... 1.2 is saying "file write protection of database couldn't removed"... tried 1.1 modified.... but touch flo restarts every time... i click on it( i checked that read only is unchecked in windows folder for that file...

OK...I figured it out... some of the steps..are other way around for me...somehow...
1) before installing Weather Editor 1.2 - go to windows folder find the file "2330fc3c_manila" - I used Resco explorer 7.05 to go to properties of file to uncheck "read only" (note that if u press once the check wont disappear..it will become transparent - double click makes it disappear completely) - then confirm changes to the system by pressing yes in the appeared window....
2) install weather editor 1.2, launch it go to find the country u need.... press edit to click cities...and add your city with accu code
3) restart your phone
4) go to weather pad in touch flo and add your city

work for me...however u can't delete the weather editor after it... it deletes the file and substitutes it with original one...


now another problem: clock... I found my city there... and now it confuses the time zone... London time should be the same with Durham... but it says its different...that is why it causes other clock to be different if u just simply change it to real time... is there any way to force it to correctly identify time zone?
