How to add new cities to Weather on Touch Pro... and help!! Sep 9 2008, 5:41 PM EDT Thanks to AliBabNet on http://htcwiki.com/thread/1066186/My+city+is+not+listed+in+weather+%28touch%29 thread I have found out how to change the weather on the touch pro: Use a registry editor as suggested, but the key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILLA\Weather.CityList Use the codes found on www.accuweather.com (in the address bar when you find your city) to add your new city (separated by commas). This works GREAT... unless you live in a city with a space in the name..! For example (and at risk of giving away personal data) I live in EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT+HELIER I have tried EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT HELIER, I have even tried EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT&20HELIER and EUR|JE|JE---|SAINTHELIER. None work - it keeps resetting back to the default 6 cities! I know it is not the ---'s as EUR|IM|IM---|DOUGLAS works. Any ideas or am I just out of luck? 1 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: How to add new cities to Weather on Touch Pro... and help!! Sep 15 2008, 6:50 AM EDT The + was the first one I tried as it is how it appears on the www.accuweather.com site, it is strange that it is only one of a few that do not work. Can you try EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT+HELIER and let me know if you have any luck? (ps back up your list first as this may wipe them!) Do you find this valuable? |

RE: How to add new cities to Weather on Touch Pro... and help!! Nov 11 2008, 7:13 PM EST I've attempted to make this change as well for a US city with the same problem. I change the list of cities, refresh the phone to make sure that it is on the phone, and then goto the weather tab. The list just resets to the default 6. I have tried putting in a city that is already on the list manually and that seems to work. Maybe the Touch Pro isn't using the accuweather website? I'm going to poke around and check to see if I can track down the website it uses. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: How to add new cities to Weather on Touch Pro... and help!! Nov 23 2008, 12:11 AM EST Use "Total Commander". It is a File Explorer kind of tool which helps you access the registry as well. You would easily find it on the Internet. It is a free tool and works much better than default File Explorer application that comes on Windows Mobile. the registry is available in the Root Folder when you see the file system through Total Commander.

I am trying to add Fargo, ND and base it off of the Bismarck listing and it defaults back to the original six. Anyone have a fix for this? Do you find this valuable? |
