but to answer your question, I use yomomedia instead of the rss reader. Had too many freezeups on my tp2 to trust that thing. But when I did use it, I would find the rss feeds on my computer, then just type in the address into the rss reader.

Good job of suppling the requested information.
You can use weather.com to get the info. Here is yours: USMA0502

I know, right?
Why bother to supply the information when weather watcher is better software, uses up less resources, is free, and doesn't require you to know any codes to begin with?
I figured I was doing him a favor hehe
Can weather watcher be used like spb in Ultimate launcher?

Not familiar with ultimate launcher. What is exactly do you want it to be able to do?
Ultimate laucher is a tab interface...I want a 5 day forcast displayed on the today screen along with some buttons..I have it set up and working with Spb weather...and i did figure out how to put the source code in..however the template im using seems to be off a little..but it works for now unless i can find something better

a while back i wrote a script that you can use with spb weather. It will pull information from environment canada website. There is another script, with that you can pull information from theweathernetwork.com website. You can find those on spb forums.
Weather Watcher is not a today screen plugin and doesn't have support for that, so if you want it displayed on the today screen then you're out of luck that way. But I will tell you, I've used both of them, and I highly recommend ww over spb as I don't need my weather taking up room on my today screen. Have you already purchased spb or using the trial still?
Howto - your zip from weather.com

*you can find the info here --> http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewto...&start=0&sid=68ff6a30254c9d517b2d25a30fcc9d87
There is a weather.com template as a file download half-way down the page
*Alt support (just in case) http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather/support/support_article388.html
*Also, how to get your weather.com city code (I think someone already gave it to youbut here)
"You have to use the weather.com city code... not the zip code. Go to weather.com and search for your city/state without the zip code. Then look in the address bar for the code. It will start with US** then 4 digits where the ** represents the 2 letter abbreviation for your state."

No I havnt bought it yet (seems to work forever for me anyway wink). after using it for a few days i can see that i dot really need it on my today scree...but i seem to have a memory leek somewhere...not using the phone for 6 hours after a soft reset i go from 22 ram to 16
spb site
SPG+B has a forum where you can find custom templates and data for adding cities
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=28
I use spb weather as a tab on my spb plus as it is nice on the today screen.
I use weather watcher for the detailed data, but it is slower as it must be loaded. Both have a valid use.
Does anyone know of a decent RSS reader for the 8500? Preferably free. I've tried Splash News but didn't really get on with it. I've got RSS Hub on my Polaris which I like.
Thanks

Hi guys!
my first thread!
i have bought an htc hero ! i saw the digital compass feature in the GSMarena's hero's page ! now i dont see any digital compass in the All programs menu!
I thought that it is like Iphone! but now i see we must install a third party software! how can i use this feature? even does it have any digital compass module
please show me a software! not from the ando market! a direct link plz if u can!
buss buss!
and why don't you just download something from the market?

Just wondered why you think someone else would do the leg work for you to find a compass APK, when they can be downloaded from the market? Here's a hint - use Google!
Regards,
Dave
As said, use market to get a compass app. Search for 'Analog Compass' for example (or just 'compass' for all).
That's the one I'm using and think is quite nice.

i like "marine compass", shows off the combination of g-sensors and compass
GPS Status also shows the compass.
gackaass, if you don't have the Android market in your country, have a look at slideme.org and andappstore.com. You can also search the Android market on cyrket.com or androlib.com and then try to find an apk from the results there.
tanx for u all
but i forgot to say i can not connect to internet by phone !(ad-hoc problem you know) my carrier is rubbish in internet service as well....
so no market access !
please upload any best u know ! i will pay for it :d
tank u elmicha! i am searching!

androlib and cyrket (once it works again) are "only" frontends to the market. You could try and use a Google search for the program names that you can find there.
Or use the Website link and see whether the authors have an apk on their site.
http://code.google.com/p/android-ac/ and http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/ showed up on the first three pages of results for "compass".
Or use slideme (once it's working again) and andappstore. Andappstore has a direct link to a "GPS status" apk.
Yes, that's not very comfortable, and it's a pity that Android cannot use Ad-hoc mode without rooting and some additional work.
You could vote for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 by logging in and clicking on the little star.
Maybe it's easier to convince your PC to act like an Access Point, e.g. with http://connectify.me/ or something like http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2...ain-USB-Adapter-Versatile-Station-AP-Mode.htm.
tank u for ur attention !
i am new in android! and i dont no more about rooting!
would u plz tell me more about rooting!
and what is the advantage of rooting ! what can i do after rooting! does it have risk?
tanx
Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, you have to google that on your own (or look around here in this forum, there are even stickies for it). There is a risk of bricking the phone and also you might lose the warranty. If you don't feel confident to do it on your own and understand the risks, don't do it.
One point I forgot in my previous reply: your (our) Hero was rather expensive, maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy an inexpensive WiFi router or access point. It's the easiest way to solve this problem. At the moment you only want a compass app, but there are a lot more apps that you might find useful in the future, and I wouldn't want to hunt them down one by one like you do at the moment.

Here you might need to install both. Can't remember where I found them so credit to whoever created them. Worked for me!

Thanks, I hope it works on a german rom.
I can install the prog an I can install the widgets, but I can`t start them. I start the widget, than comes the message from the cost for the datas and than the widgets doesent starting. Any idea perhaps ?
Here's how I do it. Using SkyFire Browser, Go too www.radioreference.com . Sign up for an account (it's free) You may want to use your PC to sign up for the account just because it's easier, and follow the steps to get to your area and choose from all of the scaner feeds in your area, find the best one and favorite it in your skyfire bookmarks. I live in Pittburgh PA and I have it favorited where I can hear all the police, fire, and ambulances in the entire city, it works great. Just make sure you use skyfire becuase the scanner player uses Flash.
I hope that Helps..
Thanks.

Will any of this work in UK?
ne1 have Tucson, AZ police codes ONLY??? cuz da site offers a stream which includes ambulances... i want 2 hear the police only :-}

can anyone provide some instructons about how exactly do you do this?
I know there's some lengthy workaround to the lack of live/msn support on the Touchpad, but it also seems pretty buggy. Is there a plugin available or client app at all?
Thanks!
I dont have a touchpad yet but if nothing else works you could a web app for it.
For example: http://imo.im

are you talking about the Jabber workaround? If my Gtalk worked I would use it.
The imo site it cool thanks LP.
[Q] Windows live messenger/MSN client or compatability
The default instant messenger client on the touchpad doesn't presently support WLM/MSN. Does anyone know of any plans to create a dedicated app or a plug in for the stock IM application?
I was going to ask the same thing. Seems like search isnt working, but someone mentioned there is hack to get it working. Just wish search was up! grr

seems a bit much for what its worth, but if youve got some free time
If nothing else works you could try install an msn program from UbuntuChroot?
[Q] can you get msn messenger on the touchpad ?
I see the likes of google, aol etc are there, but the most popular one isn't ?
anyway of adding msn messenger to the hp touchpad ?
the only way ive seen is to use the jabber work around, just google 'jabber touchpad' and it will come up, but you need linux to make it work it seems :/ other than that you could always just use ebuddy from the browser doesnt seem to have any discernible lag
Yeah the chat program is a little lame...no MSN or Facebook chat...and the facebook app doesn't include the chat feature...so have to use plain web browser.
Any update on this? I really need/require msn/windows live messenger support
There is a way to do it, when I have a little time I'll see if I can find the site with instructions.
