Look at any promo image of the HTC One (I can't post a link here because I'm new). Underneath the date it says "LONDON, 12C." I also want my phone to say the name of the city I am in, but it only says "MY LOCATION," and I can't find any option to change this. Surely I don't have to entirely disable location services...right?

Go to settings/accout and sync and set weather to sync automatically. Then go back to the screen the widget is at, remove the widget. Re-add the widget and when it asks you, tell it to show your current location.

No need to delete and re-add.
Click the weather on the widget (weather will open).
Menu-->settings-->check "my current location" if you want GPS to report your current location. OR
Open weather-->hit the + sign and manually add another city.

The weather program won't let me change the default location from Detroit. I keep deleting the Detroit location, and when I click back to the home screen it automatically creates and defaults back to Detroit location. This happens whether the gps locator is on or off. Please help!
Thanks,
Adam
delete the main clock/weather widget from the homescreen then long press and add HTC widget then clock and find the default then set any location your like from there or use the current location setting which always seems to change from a city name to numbers for me. oh well. hope this helps

I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.

I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.

I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.
My Rezound seems to offer no way to change the Home Clock. I can add clocks, but I can't change or delete this one clock that is set to Arizona. I turned off Location Settings, too, but I still have the one Arizona clock (presumably because that's where Verizon ships from).
I am also trying to show a summary of a few scheduled activites on my Home screen, to no avail. It seems useless to me to have a Calendar widget that only shows one activity, because I would think people would want to see at least a few so they know what their day might be like, without having to always click on something. I know I have the option to select different views; trouble is that the other views are too big to be allowed to fit on the Home screen.
Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I don't know how Android got to be so popular. Although it LOOKS cool, it seems very clunky trying to find things (things are often not sensibly placed), and the stuff like changing a clock or displaying activities should be easier to do. Perhaps I am missing something? :crying:
That is a bug in the stock HTC CLOCK.
I live in upstate NY and my clock insists I am in new York city (if I use current location) and there is absolutely no way to delete that location.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the clock etc and NYC just keep reappearing no matter what I do.
If I go to edit where it should be possible to delete NYC it isn't even listed.
This phone has been out for how long now? I run a software company myself, and there's no way we'd let a simple little bug like that ruin our reputation, never mind leaving our customers frustrated for this long. In fact, we'd have fixed something like that within days!
Thanks for letting me know that I spent nearly 20 hours on this phone, trying to figure it out. Do you happen to know if there is anything like a registry editor or something we can use to edit settings under the hood?
What about having an agenda listing on the Home screen, like Windows Mobile used to have? Know anything settings that might allow that? Or, am I wasting my time, there, too? I mean, first the clock, then I beat my head against the wall trying to get my Windows Media Player playlists to go across with HTC Sync, only to give up and manually copy them using "disk drive" mode. That's actually almost worse than the clock thing, in that HTC Sync offers the playlist option, but doesn't even see them on the PC!
For the calendar, which widget are you using. If you are using the one that is only 1 grid tall, that one is only made to show 1. If you need more than 1 event, just use the larger calendar widget.
Problem is that the other larger sized widgets aren't allowed to be place on the Home Screen, because a message says there is not enough room. SIGH

Tap the home button while on the Sense Rosie homescreen to bring the view out to display up to all 7 panels of the launcher. If you don't have all 7 active you have an option to add a panel. You may also delete an entire panel at once by tapping and holding the panel, then dragging to Delete. This allows you to add a fresh blank panel afterwards.
Alternatively, choose a panel to clear out manually. Tap and hold on icons and widgets until you enter an editing mode where you may reposition items or drag to the Delete icon.
It is simply wanting you to add a panel and/or clear out clutter manually first to ensure it doesn't delete your existing items.
Also note the Play Store has other launchers available you can try instead of HTC's Sense. Some allow more homescreens, but you will lose use of the widgets exclusive to the Sense interface. Some have comparable widgets integrated and there are apps with widgets in the Play Store too. It is suggested to get a feel for the stock Sense launcher a bit longer though.
Apologies for the double post, but wanted to address each topic seperate and Multi-Quote after the fact.

Take this with a grain of salt since I'm unfortunately running Sense 4 and not 3.5 or 3.6 right now. But I believe there should be a setting if you tap on the clock widget on your homescreen, go to the World Clock tab and hit the Menu button. If not there, then *somewhere* with the Menu for World Clock, perhaps when you select Edit if not the first option. If someone else could chime in on this.

A note to both of you: as far as this World Clock tab is concerned, this is precisely how a traditional traveler's clock works. It makes more sense when you realize the Home Clock is meant as the Home Time Zone. Just as when you set a time zone on a PC or forum, it usually just provides a list of major cities to choose from. I will say Sense 4 shows the current location in addition to this "Hometown" and unsure about older Sense but again, the primary function of World Clock is "nearby major city's timezone + time zones across other frequented or contacted locations."
Now jmoreton10, if the *weather* widget isn't showing your proper location, there is an issue with your Location settings. While the World Clock only can add and locate major cities, Weather should be able to tell where you are exactly by zip code. I may have had issues like that with both Verizon and Google location on; try using just Google location if you confirm Weather is not showing current location properly.

I don't think you understand what we're saying, or maybe we don't understand what you're saying. The Home clock does NOT display MY home. It displays someone else's home... in Arizona. I am in California. Moreover, the Home clock cannot be edited or deleted on the Home screen. However, if I add a traveler clock to ANOTHER panel/desktop/screen, I can choose what cities I want on it upon adding the widget, but once again, once the widget is added, if I click on the clock, I see the same Arizona Home clock in addition to the other cities I added. IIRC, Arizona does not change times when we "spring ahead" or "fall back" like we do here in CA. So, I think that kills your theory of a nearby major city in the same time zone, doesn't it? Same with those people seeing Detroit when they live in NY. Personally, I am really starting to hate Arizona!
New phone came in. Don't know if there's a difference, but it appears that there is a way to change the Home Clock. It's not very intuitive, but:
Click on the Clock Widget. On World Clock, choose the Menu button. Click Home Settings. Type your City, or SUPER HUGE MAJOR CITY nearby. Type VERY slow, because there is a very limited number of cities. If you type too fast for the app, it will give you a "not found" error. Dumb, I know, but at least we all now know WTH is wrong with this thing.
I found when i used a theme with weather, it cant find my location so its just blank. I downloaded AccuWeather because ut said i must. I tried re applying after getting accuweather but that made no difference. Thanks

This is happening to me as well. What exactly were the changes to weather? I don't see anymore options in the settings.
Make sure to link the hotspot to ThemerWeather not the weather app you installed. I am not sure if that solves it for you guys, but I haven't had any issues with it since left it at default.
We changed the weather so that:
1. The default provider is AccuWeather, not The Weather Channel. This is because AW is available in more countries than TWC. That said, Themer will still look on your phone for dozens of other weather apps.
2. As long as you are using Themer Beta 1.4 or above, go to Settings>Themer>Weather. From there you can force C or F, or leave it on Auto.
We are using a weather provider (Open Weather Map) which is unreliable. We are going to change providers are soon as possible.

It says 65 degrees (which has to be Fahrenheit, even though i set it as celcius in Settings>Themer>Weather. Below that it says haze in location n/a. this theme is amazing but one page is wasted because it cant find anything.
EDIT: How can i change an icon for something if the icon is applied on my homescreen? for example, there is a shopping folder but i dont want that, i just want it to be the play store, but i want it to use the icon of the shopping folder. when i try and change the icon i can only select from my gallery. is there no way to select an icon from the theme?
Hi All,
I set up Yahoo weather to be showing current conditions as wallpaper on lockscreen and it worked for a week or so. Since yesterday I only get a random Flickr photo instead of live conditions. I have reset touchwiz settings and Weather settings with no result.
Has anyone had such a problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
TIA,

I have disabled Flickr on day one. The wallpaper I get does come from my location, though. As if some other app/ setting sets up the wallpaper based on my location overriding Yahoo.
never set up flicker..also I disabled GPS location..BTW..my phone is a branding free European model.. maybe this could help..

I have the same setup apart from location being on. When I set the Live Weather wallpaper for lockscreen, the first time I unlock it, the animation shows up briefly and then disappears.
I have found the Live Weather app and cleared its cache and data,, rebooted and still no luck.
It's a location issue, that is for sure.
Does Live Weather not show images from your current location that match current weather conditions? That's what mine seems to do anyway and I think it works well

Does it show live weather conditions only if there are no corresponding images on Flickr perhaps?

Are you saying that the app BY DEFAULT is going t oshow Flickr and only when no imagery is available Live Weather? Is the app not called Live Weather and should it not show Live Weather and not imagery from Flickr? I think you misunderstood the name of the app?
I know and fully understand the name of the app, live weather doesn't necessarily mean pretty drops of water or sun flares, live weather could also mean images of your location with current weather conditions

It shows rain drops and sunshine, that is why I use it. If I wanted imagery, I would use my rotating wallpapers from homescreen.
Then do it

Meteo lockscreen

To clarify: the app for lockscreen is Yahoo Meteo Live and it automatically show a photo from flickr that match the current meteo condition of the city that you set up in the Samsung clock/meteo widget (or from the current location if you have this active). In case the city is too small or unknown (or the data connection is poor) the app display fixed images matching meteo conditions. In both case it shows animation for rain, hot, fog, etc. I love this feature and I set a lot of cities (my preffered and last visited) watching beatiful pictures of them switching one by one every time I want. The strange issue is that in the last days the photos are loaded only for some city (thing never happened before!). Now I can see the pictures only for the current location and the city of New York! I think Yahoo has changed something... Clear the cache and reboot are useless for me.
Did this ever get resolved? I have the same problem. I used to get local images on my lock screen matching the time of day and weather conditions. Now I only get the weather - clouds and sun with no info on where I am.
I installed the yahoo weather app from the market and it this is what I used to get from the live wall paper (I recognise some of the photos), but if I load the weather widget that powers the live wallpaper it seems to be powered from accuweather? I'm a bit confused as I haven't changed anything.
