My city is not listed in weather (touch) Dec 15 2007, 10:18 AM EST The nearest city listed in the weather spot is over 600 miles away. Does anyone know how to add a city listing to the HTC Touch list of cities so I can use this function? 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 2:39 PM EST Hello I belive you can do this by using a registry editor like Resco File Explorer (with Registry plug-in). Then browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > HTCHome > Weather > Settings. There, open the key "LocationCode" and edit it following the standard. For example right now mine for Escondido, CA (USA) is "NAM|US|CA|ESCONDIDO". I think you can find those standards on Weather.com... Good luck! 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 6:55 PM EST thanks for the accurate response. I can see that the reason my city is not listed is because weather.com does not list it. Is there a way to redirect the Touch to go to a different weather internet address instead of weather.com? ie: www.theweathernetwork.com Do you find this valuable? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 7:04 PM EST I believe the Touch (and Touch Dual) are getting the weather from http://www.accuweather.com/ I don't think there's an easy way to change that, because of the formatting of the info retrieved on the phone....

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 8:37 PM EST Great forum and good infor you found. I tried the different ideas but it seems that CANADA is not very populated when it comes to weather requests. I must not live up here!! lol Accueather has a canadian page which has my city but I can't get the database to search over there with the ideas listed. Back to the drawing board unless you have a different idea. you have been a great help already and I think you Do you find this valuable? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 9:15 PM EST Yes, that boars has a lot of info. One last thing I found: When you search for a city in AccuWeather from your computer, you get an URL like this: http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&loccode=NAM|CA|ON|TORONTO You identified the code at the end. You might try to search your city that way.... Cheers. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Jan 30 2008, 11:49 PM EST The link that I get is different. It appears to search for the city via postal code even though I put in the words Prince George. The link looks like this http://www.accuweather.com/canada-weather-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&postalcode=V2K%201A1&metric=1 Do you find this valuable? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Sep 9 2008, 5:43 PM EDT Don't search - use the drop down boxes to get to where you want. Start here: http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0 under the 'Find your local Forecast' heading. good luck! Do you find this valuable? |

RE: My city is not listed in weather (touch) Sep 25 2008, 4:12 AM EDT I think this is for the older phones - my touch pro it is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILLA\Weather.CityList However do a search for 'Weather Database Editor' - it is a great little .cab file that allows you to add cities to the phone. It worked for me where manually entering the city did not for some reason. Good luck! Do you find this valuable? |
