htc weather

[iammarymck]

I have HTC weather installed on my desire. I love the graphics, especially when it's cold. But it's possibly the worst weather forecast ever. I'm so fed up with being told London's sunny and warm when I'm freezing and it's foggy. I can't seem to delete this app. Please can someone advise me how to do so and recommend a reliable weather app? Thanks!

You can't delete it because its inbuilt in the system. You can just remove it however by long pressing the widget and dragging it to the trash bin. A nice replacement would be Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets, both of which use Accuweather and look similar to the HTC CLock/weather widget.

Thank you Chan chan. I'll check them out.

I've got a question re the HTC weather app (Sensation XE) - it lists my location as 'United Kingdom' - but that's not particularly accurate as the UK is a big place! On my Desire S it used to locate me down to the city and even the region of my city. Anyone know how it can be made to forecast the weather for my city?

AFAIK it uses the GPS. I think that's how the wife's Wildfire S works as that is always "local". They are all cr*p at actual weather forecasting though. The only time they'll be correct more than 24 hours in advance is if there is a big high pressure area sat over the country (the UK that is) that's not moving. It's usually more accurate just to look out of the window. Of course, the graphics are nice on these weather apps .....

I'm in the Philippines and Accuweather is pretty accurate. You just have to set the refresh rates faster, like every hour or so. You also have to enable google positioning along with your GPS active so that the app can get a more accurate position. The app also has to have an open connection to the internet during the refresh times, so your data connection has to remain open all the time.
