I have installed and uninstalled adreas falke Weather database program v1.2 so many times it is ridiculous I have read EVERY thread I could find on how people solved there issues with this program and not one of the worked for me. Now when I try to reinstall the program and access it it says "File right protection could not be removed" this is after i cleared the storage and installed all my contacts and installed the .net version 3.5 for the third time this week. Someone on this forum told me to download the program and cancel in the middle and that would take care of the problem, NOPE. So before, my problem was I got my city on there and it always said the high and low were 32 degrees, now I can even get the program to work so I can add my city again. Can someone with more knowledge than me please help me with my frustrations, I feel like the weather tab on my phone is absolutely useless to me at this point and I hope there is someone who can help me thanks for reading. Please help
I had to install a 1.1 version that someone hacked. Get the modified cab at the bottom of the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918
OK Now what do I do???????
I got the 1.1 modified version installed now when i add my city it is high and low of 32 all the time and when I hit update it goes from sunny to moon and cloudy each minute this in exactly how i put my city in maybe I am doing it wrong
United States
IL
DeKalb
NAM/US/DEKALB/IL
maybe that is wrong on accuweather there is a zipcode to so I am going to try it like that now thanks for the help with the program can you please help me with this now
I used my zip code as the accuweather code.
just your zip code????
Vuoala You are the man mtg1974 i never thought just the zipcode would work because every other thread you read says "you must enter the accuweather zipcode exactly the way it is in your URL" so I never even thought to just put my zipcode in that box you are a genius I wish there were some way to thank you like in other forums
I'm glad I was able to help. I can't take credit for the answer though. I found it here the other night when I was adding my town to my weather database.

3. bis For US cities :
- thx obender : for example Hickery, NC, Accuweather URL is http://www.accuweather.com/us/nc/hic...u=1&traveler=1
You see the portion "us/nc/hickory". To obtain the locCode, you have to prefix it with NAM|
So, it gives, for our example : NAM|US|<state>|<city> i.e. NAM|US|NC|HICKORY
- thx duofold : instead of the complete locCode as mentioned above, you can only use the zip code : just input the zip code of your city in the "Accu Weather Code" field (and, of course enter in a state & city in the other fields).

Hi,
I'm having a few minor problems with the Android Market since rooting. For example, a game I paid for called "My Paper Plane 2" is nolonger available to download even though the trial/demo is available.
I've tried a lot of the fixes on this forum and with no success so far and while looking through the contents of default.prop and build.prop I found something that I wondered if an entry in the default.prop file might be contributing to this problem.
This is the line I am wondering about in default.prop
ro.product.locale.region=US
I did a bit of googling on the phrase "ro.product.locale.region=" and noticed that this line varies....
ro.product.locale.region=IT
ro.product.locale.region=FR
ro.product.locale.region=GB
...as a few examples.
As I'm based in the UK, could this be why the market isn't showing all the apps I would expect. Should I edit the file (I've pulled a copy off the phone but thought I'd ask the question here before pushing it back just to err on the safe side) to GB and reboot? Or has anyone else got any suggestions on what might be causing this?
As a few more examples, I can't also find the demo of Touchdown but I can see the full paid app.
And another game called Armageddon Squadron doesn't appear either.
And a program suggested to search for on this website...
careace.net/2010/06/16/how-to-fix-protected-android-market-app/
"Dr Droid"
...well, I can see the demo but not the full paid version.
You need to modify build.prop/default.prop for valid
ro.build.fingerprint=xxxxxxxxxx
for the UK market. Your OS version might be not authorised for the UK market yet.
For the Japan market I've had to use the fingerprint from the older OS.
Hi and thanks for the reply wildthing_san,
I've pulled a copy of the build and default files from an original X10i that I issues to one of my directors which looks like this...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA020/1274691689:user/rel-keys
And from looking at this forum page...
http :// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907&page=239
...the bit that looks important seems to be the bit I bolded.
However, on checking through the default file, there are a couple of other references to this like...
ro.semc.version.cust=1235-7379
ro.product.name=X10_1235-7379
I also can't find any reference to that number in the build file.
So my question is, (in a kind of is it safe way) should I just update the default file finger print in my phone to include that 1235-7379 reference, i.e. change it from....
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1232-9897/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
to...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
...and ignore those other references or change those as well?
EDIT: Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you my friend.
Your suggestions were spot on, I did basically what I was wondering above including the extra two changes to the version and name and everything works spot on!!!!
Thanks again mate! Really appreciate the help/advice.
Might have spoken too soon. Some apps have come back. But not all. Still missing one polarbit game and strangely a couple of unimportant free apps. Trying the clears cache trick and will wait 24hrs to see if things continue to improve. My Paper plane 2 is back atleast
Sorry for hijacking your thread sligthly, I would appreciate it if somebody could upload a Nordic, or preferrably Swedish default.prop.
Im curious to see what the following lines looks like
ro.semc.country=
ro.semc.locale.language=
ro.semc.locale.region=
Anyone ?
Please ??
Sorry, No longer supported..

If you check out this thread,

by Deadlocked007, these map packs are set for HTC locations and Premium Navigation. Basically once you have the app installed it will give you the option to
download maps for offline viewing.
These are those maps.
Won't these need to be renamed for the phone to recognize it when you move it to the .data folder? They don't appear to have the same names as the ones you'd get straight from the phone.

I went on to double check the names. Apparently the Minus site is down for whatever reason, not sure why but as of now its not letting me log in via handset or browser. Just boots up a blank screen? The full name that I currently see on my sd card when viewing properties shows as this...
"United States - West.cmap"
If these names are not the same as above during download something must be going on w/ minus. Soon as it will actually let me view their site again, I'll make sure I resolve the problem or even find a better place to upload them.
EDIT: Thanx again for pointing out the error in the name. I was finally able to look it up and it seems that Minus is putting a "%20" for spaces in the file name. I tried to go in and edit the name but that doesn't even show "%20". It shows it as normal. So yes, I guess you would need to remove that. Wish I would've seen that before. Ill make sure I update the OP to include the name change. Thanx again

Correcta mondo!
I spent a whole day d/l the US maps to my phone and spent the greater part of a whole night uploading them to my minus account. I currently only have the US maps d/l so far. I suppose I can check out the others and d/l them as well. I'll grab the India one first and so forth and keep going from there. This does take time though so just fyi
I'll update the OP as the downloads/uploads go through.

Has anyone else suffered from the Weather not being able to connect and update for the last 5 days or so? I don't think I did anything around the time it stopped to cause it
I'm on the Artemis 63.0 ROM on an HD2 with 6 world cities and "My Location". They have been working fine for 3 months or so. I only update when on WiFi or Active Sync and do my shares at the same time. Shares still work fine (as does everything else), just the Wx stopped with a "Connection Error". I have read through loads and tried "Cornflipper" which actually started "My Location" working correctly again (Village in Spain) but the other locations all fail with the same error. I tried switching to N2A (using Stylze (?) switcher) but all fail again so have reverted to Cornflipper. I believe when I set it all up ages ago I was using Accuweather as a server but I'm stumped now as can't remember where I went to set that up.
I realize it's probably something I've done but I've spent quite a few hours on it now and am getting a headache
Any ideas?
No problems at all here, but just read this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21528198#post21528198 .... maybe useful
I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm on a standard ROM. Looks like accuweather.com is working, but not2advanced.com is not.
Had the same problem, checked poyensas link and deleted/changed the URL in the registry and now it's working again!

Thanks so much poyensa.
Been going round and round but followed your link and on to http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-m...-hct-weather-server-accuweather-directly.html where it gives the Accuweather server details and never realised you could input it from Weather City Editor. Dead easy and up and running again. Did try the reg edit first but even after reboot no success. probably got a letter wrong but couldn't sort it hence trying the ongoing links.
Thanks again
City code not appended to URL
Hi,
I've made the registry change to 'Weather.ServerURLOverride' as specified in poyensa's link (above), and I still cannot get my weather working.
I manually tried the URL in a browser, appending a city code, and the XML came back fine (so the city code I am using is still valid).
I modified the 'Weather.ServerURLOverride' registry entry, and inserted a test server host, so I could see what data/URL the weather update was sending, and this is what I got in the Apache log...
"GET /widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode= HTTP/1.1" 404 526 "-" "HTC HTTP Service"
The 404 is expected, as this is my server, but as you can see, there is no city code appended after 'locCode=' in the URL.
I've deleted all of the city entries, added them back in, added others I'd not already tried, and soft-reset the device, but it appears that the weather no longer sends the city code.
If I append a valid city code to the registry entry, then I get the weather, but obviously this means that I can only have one city entry! So, this proved I'd not made a typeo in the registry.
Any help appreciated.
I'm using a stock O2 ROM, with CHT2. Has been working fine for ages, and like everyone else, stopped about 5 days ago.
Thanks

Reg entry removal seems to work
Hi again,
So I completely removed the 'Weather.ServerURLOverride' registry entry, and the weather started to work fine.
It looks like the 'Weather.ServerURLOverride' reg entry is not required.
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks
I've been trying both the change of the registry entry and its removal. None of them worked. Any help in solving the problem would be rather appreciated. ROM is 3.14.408.2 (04666)ITA.
hi,
im looking for all the registry to add manually this city EUR|FR|FR022|ALLINGES.
Any ideas ?
Hi guys, I hope someone can help coz I'm at the end of my tether!.
I've got a Hudl v1 which I factory reset because it was getting slow with stock ROM (never changed anything).
I come to the Let's get started and I click Start to get to the WIFI selection bit. I connect to my own router and it quickly says Authenticating (which it does), then it say Cannot connect to the internet, check your WIFI, and I click OK which takes me back to the WIFI connection screen. If I reboot at this point and start again, at the connect to WIFI point it says connected and there's the WIFI icon but no triangle icon to continue.
I've tried it on several networks, both open and secured and set it static IP but no luck.
If I use the Google keyboard method of getting to Settings I can browse Ok using Chrome and access Play Store etc and install apps.
I have tried 3 different ROM's now and all are the same. Used RKTOOL to flash it. Factory reset after installing each of them.
Debug mode and rooted now BTW.
I used ES explorer to browse to system/apps folder and renamed the HUDL SETUP apk to something different then reset again. The only difference now is that I have the 3 nav icons at the bottom.
Is there a way around this to skip the WIFI screen and continue to the next setup screen?
Is there a way of killing this process (if so what's it called?) of removing it?
Much appreciate any help.
Cheers
Paul
Factory reset HUDL - cannot get past the wifi screen
Paull,
I am having exactly the same issue my HUDL. I have not been through as many processes as you to get around the startup screen. My main theory now is to wipe the HUDL software and install alternative Android OS. Not sure if that would work in practice, but seems just the HUDL thats the issue.. Is it possible this is a deliberate bug by HUDL to kick the systems gradually off the market? Seems a waste as my HUDL still works well, so be stupid to bin it just yet.
Can you add any advice on how you did the other actions - how did you get your three buttons and did they operate as expected - presuymably not:? Even when I by pass to the keyboard section I am unable to download or update apps or install the Google Now Launcher.
Seems stupid to me. Really keen to find a post a fix for this stupid stupid issue?

I called TESCO contact centre and they confirmed that the software is no longer support and this sounds like a deliberate bug to stop the devices. - If you have a HUDL I would urge you not to factory reset as this will kill it altogether. I think from an environmental standpoint its atrocious to do this and for TESCO not to have a section about it on the website. They should also be telling people where they can send the devices for recycling or repurposing or offering a very basic OS so it can still be used even with limited fucnctionality. We need to start thinking about the whole picture and getting the information like this out there in the public domain.

Tesco HUDL1_Post-factory reset Workround
Hi All,
Over the past couple of years I've contributed to the MoDaCo forum on this topic as a HUDL user - since the MoDaCo forum is now defunct (sadly, recently confirmed to me by PaulO'Brien via email), I thought it might be useful to fill in some of the gaps for you by summarising the extensive history surrounding this problem, starting from the first Tesco server outage in early 2019. Much of this was documented in MoDaCo but is now no longer available.
I can also offer you a couple of workround solutions which I’ve tested on a factory-reset HUDL1, and documented as a detailed instruction set within a .pdf file.
Since it isn’t possible to attach anything other than image files to this post. I’ve transferred the file to Google drive. Unfortunately as a new user, it does not appear to be possible for me to include the shareable link within this reply to allow you access…..
If any of you are interested in viewing this file, please let me know via this post and I will look into alternative means of getting it to you.

Hi,
Since I'm new to this forum and there do seem to be quite a few restrictions on exchange of data, I'll need some advice on how to give folks access to the pdf file. As you'll appreciate, the amount of info is too large to insert into a post 'longhand', so a separate document was really the only way to go with this.
I suspect there will be quite a bit of interest, and it would be a shame if the site's restrictions prevented me from sharing the info.
I notice there is an icon on the post compilation page entitled 'Insert email link' - what exactly does this do, and could we use it to exchange email addresses offline ? I've no objection to corresponding with interested individuals, but I'd rather not broadcast my address too widely....

FIXED!
I just managed to get past the setup wizard and get both my Hudl 1's back into service. The problem is not that the Tesco server is gone, but that it's certificate expired on 26th June. If you can escape the wizard and get to settings to set the Hudl's time to before that date the wizard completes successfully.
I've written up how I escaped the wizard and got into the settings to do this - it's s combination of information from this thread and stuff I've found elsewhere, none of it is really mine . No rooting or USB debuuging required.
Find the write up here: Apparently I haven't posted enough here to be able to post the actual link, so try this ....

If someone with enough privileges could post an actual link for others to click that would be excellent.
I hope this is useful. Please let me know if you find better/easier ways to achieve the same end effect. If I get time I'll have a look to see if the setup wizard can more easily be disabled, but for now this has got me where I need to be.
Enjoy,
Rob.

TigerRob, I went to the website and tried. It still says failed to connect. I did the same thing you did by resetting thinking it was a good idea but totally forgotten about this being a thing with hudls. Im gonna try again and hope for the best.
EDIT: OMG IT WORKS!!!! I guess setting it to 2015 was a bad idea. Should of checked before and set to 22/11/19. Thanks dude!

Sorry, but not sure what website you went to. If you go to my site there are step by step instructions for recovering - but I still don't have enough posts here to link to it directly. If you click on 'TigerRob' to the left of this post and then follow the link to 'view profile' and then click on the 'Contact Info' tab you will find a link under the 'Home Page' - follow that to my write-up.
I've had a couple of other people confirm that they've made it work - let me know how you get on.
I'm working on a custom ROM, based on the latest stock ROM (JDQ39.20140424.153851) that will have the following features:
- boot 'chime' disabled
- setup wizard & Tesco updates disabled
- Tesco apps and branding removed
- Remaining stock apps updated to latest available for JellyBean/4.2.2
I'm probably a week away from having something that can be tested - if you're interested in having early sight and helping test then please let me know by replying here or PM'ing me.
Rob.
Fixed as well!
Rob, thanks for what is probably the best described fix I've ever seen for a tech problem. It worked perfectly, just as you described at every step, including the lack of download of the settings app so I went back and reset the hudl again but was quicker through the process second time. Excellent job! Rob

I'll add an instruction not to go too far in the past . The Hudl talks to other sites during setup, and if they have certificates then those certificates will have 'not before' dates, and if you set the time before these dates then those communications will fail ...
TMF Custom ROM v0.1 (for HUdl 1)
I have a working custom ROM that is currently running on 3 of my Hudl's. If any with a bit of experience of flashing the Hudl want to give it a shot then drop me a PM and I'll share a link - but I'd like to get some confidence of it working on other devices before I open up to general downloads.

This ROM is not Rooted. It just works around the issue of not being able to complete the setup wizard but disabling it and removes most of the Tesco branding. More information once I have confidence that it's good for wider distribution
