OMWeather v0.28.13

Hi,

Since I changed my GSM provider, I can't get updates. I can browse web, including weather.com. The error is (translated from french) : HTTP Error Sucessfully updated : 0/4 I tried to launch omweather command from terminal, pushed on update button, get the same error, but nothing in terminal. How can I try to find what's going on ?

I like the app but I am getting fed up with the continual time outs when trying to update the readings as mentionaed also by "Alice Boyd" a couple of posts back.

I have also deleted and resinstalled the application and database and the updates worked for a while whilst connected over wi-fi.

Now it just times out, although if I switch to the phone providers GPRS signal it usually works, but I have a very limited data allowance so don't want to use that up when I have a perfectly good wi-fi signal available

The app is quite good but there's still not enough cities in the database, maybe the database from accuweather or google can be used

A very good app with a cool and very customizable widget. And it's very accurate, the weather forecast it shows turns to reality almost every time.

Before the recent update I would have rated this a 4 or 5, but now it's unable to update the weather at all. If I uninstall and reinstall it will get the weather update, but will fail after that. It's too bad, there aren't any other functional weather apps for the N900.

Fairly nice Weather application.

I would like to see it extended with some more weather data alike: http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USNJ0315

"Current Conditions" - Wind Chill - Heat Index - Dew Point - Humidity - Pressure - Ceiling - Visibility - Wind - Direction - Gusts

I am not sure if this data currently is available, but has to be selected in setup somewhere (could not find it). This added data would make the application really useful for Aviation.

Great working and good looking weather program. Much better than Foreca Weather...

Super App!! Hat alles was das Herz begehrt!! Außer vielleicht ein Wetterradar! ;)

Perfect App. The only thing which the app could have more, would be a weather radar!!! ;)

Runs great under PR 1.3!!

S. Jobs should say "Wow" in using it

Hi Damien Now it's impossible. We are going to make it

Very nice and useful app. Better in every point thatn the genuine weather applet.

Is it possible to manually add cities ?

Not perfect jet but close enough.

Good app!

But it doesnt update itself. I have to update it manually all the time. Is ite some settings I am missing? I have: Update: 1hour. it should update itself every hour right?

great app, very simple to use and informative. deffinalty better than the default one which shipped with n900

nice app

works very well.

Very very good application. Just some errors in the italian translation (several words are not translated and some others are not translated correctly)

Good app but it doesn't query the gps automatically. I have to go into settings and toggle between the manual and GPS buttons for it to update weather in the new location.

Hi Kurt. Try the new version 0.27.13. I have returned many options in this version.

It's still better than foreca weather, but the OS2008 version of this was WAY more configurable. Not sure why the massive difference exists, but the Maemo 5 version is nothing compared to the OS2008 version.

Really nice weather-app!!

Great app, but one question. Not sure if this is my misinterpretation. When the app is opened and you select today to show more detail, the weather is shown for 'today' and also below is the same day shown as day/date but with different weather.

Nice App. Thanks.

Great and nice.

The only problem I see is that sometimes changing between desktops is a bit laggy with OMWeather active.

Great app : very useful, works well and looks good.

Only (minor) complaint is that updating on GPS setting doesn't work unless the GPS location is updated through another program.

Would be nice to have an option to update GPS location from within.

I think this idea isn't good for battery.

Very nice app which I use constantly. However, I liked the previous version better. With the new animated eye candy, it takes somewhat longer to click through different locations. Perhaps that could be turned on/off in the settings? More importantly, I found the update previous behavior more useful. Namely that it just updates when one clicks updates, irrespective of the fact that one may prefer to have regular updates only when connected by WLAN. Now when I'm out of reach of WLAN and want to update only sporadically when using GPRS, I always have to change the settings, update, change the settings back to WLAN...

Works fine, does what it says on the tin :D

very nice app, i dont have to go to turn on a computer, radio or t.v just to check the weather.

i mean this app handles weather forecasts very good.

Jan, I'm sorry, but I don't understand your problem :( Please reboot your device and try again. And describe more completely your problem.

Please could you write when it try to connect to internet? I don't understand when it try connect, because I have set update every 1 hour, but not selected WLAN&GSM.It try connect again. When i ended incoming call it ask for selection of cennection (I storno this choise). 2 hour later N900 was connection to (trusted) WLAN.

Hi, I tested new version 0.25.1, it now don't make connection automaticly. Then a made connection to WLAN, but OMWeather don't update. I will continue in testing...

Hi Jan. Thanks for feedback. I just uploaded new version (0.25.1) with fix of this bug to extras-devel. Please test it.

Great APP, thx. For N900 this new build (Version 0.25 build 30): I have probelm with automatic update, in last build when I have set update via WLAN, it update only when I make connection thru WLAN, now it make connection automaticly. Is it possible to make choise t update only when I establiset connection by hand? Thx

Hello!

I need few cities in Finland to view: Imatra Lappeenranta Savonlinna Svetogorsk

Thank You!

Too big and doesn't have my town in it like Foreca does.

Actually the best weather widget, and it's still getting better

Hi Dimitris. Do you see your town in this list http://www.edg3.co.uk/snippets/weather-location-codes/greece/ ?

This application is awesome but i didnt have the opportunity to enjoy it because there aren't many areas and locations for Greece, please put some more, thank you in advance.

THE weather widget! Good job :)

it's too big. i like ForecaWeather more...

These guys hit another home run with this Maemo5 version. Vlad's involvement in the talk.maemo.org forums is much appreciated and this extra effort shows in the many updates that keep increasing the value this program offers. Don't leave home without it.

Hey Roman USA. You can change it via gconf-editor Unload Omweather. Start gconf-editor. Find in branch apps/maemo/omweather/ parameter update-interval and set it on desirably value. Then start omweather.

Hi Norbert. We will think about your suggestion.

I like omweather. With one touch i can see the weather im my favourit towns for short holidays (Bad Ischl, Bad Goisern) The forecast is great and the matches accuracy is equal to commercial programs. My wish is a zoom function for the forecast because im near 50 and it's a hard to read even with glasses

Hi Patrick, Please check date and time in your device.

I really like the program, I only have one gripe. It seems more often than not I only see the high/low stat for todays weather instead of the current temperature. This is basically useless to me. I figure it must be due to me not having a constant data connection (wifi only) but still I am at my home or work wifi 95% of the time and the phone auto connects to those networks and still I almost never get to see the current temperature. Is there a way for me to fix this on my side or is it a bug in the application? Updating manually works but then I lose half the point of a widget I could just use a bookmark to a weather site.

Hey Vlad,

Can you make it so that the widget can update the weather in minutes and not hour?

Especially the little icon omweather app, i have to manually updated myself. I don't think it use up a lot of battery if i want to update it every 5mins.

Real good widget, nice design, although it takes too much screen real estate. I wish it was smaller.

Hiya Vlad,

That worked a treat! Thanks.

Thank you for this great widget.

I always look at it before planing events to see what the weather will/could be, and plan accordingly. :)

Hi Roman.

Please check date and time in your device.

I don't know what happened...the app shortcut that normally load up a SINGLE screen with today's weather is not loading. The 5days forecast is fine. Did the new update screwed up something?

Great app, couldn't ask for better. Could only ask for developers to put apps of this usefulness and stability.

Hi Faheem.

Ok. I understand your request. Now fonts for presets is hardcoded in code. I will think about including it in configuration. You can switch to legacy mode using parameter 'mode' in gconf.(unload omweather and set to '1' this parameter) And try to tune external view of OMWeather.

Works well, no problems there.

However, why use Sans? It doesn't look as good as Nokia Sans and I can't even set the GConf key to change it like I could do for Maemo due to "Sans" now being hardcoded in the applet's library file itself.

Edvard, I'm sorry, but I don't understand your problem. If you can, please describe it in bugzilla.

Its very nice and the support for icon sets is a nice addition. However, I am not sure I like how its not possible to NOT remove the GPS location. Its still there even though I only have one locations set.

Hi Kurtz. Omweather works in N800

does it work for N800 too? i just bought a second-hand N800 since i still cannot afford to buy N900 and N810 is hard to find here in my country.

Hi Bobby. I need more information about your problem. Please report using the bugzilla - https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=OmWeather

It seems OMWeather doesn't work if you are behind a network proxy. I have set-up a system-wide proxy but i cant get OM-weather update. Is there anything am doing wrong or this application does not work with network proxy?

Really nice, It lets you choose different variations on the Widget. Only gripe is it seems to only let you choose 4 cities...but still pretty awesome!

Great app, the graphic interface is very customisable and it makes my desktop cool and colorful!

I use it for N810 and I'm happy to see the N900 version!

This is much better than what came with the N900--thanks!

Very nice weather application, although I wish it was possible to get coverage for more cities..

Fantastic weather forecast application. Really customisable.

just perfect. i love it! what is very nice is the GPS function, so it switches between areas when you do.

Love it, keeps me informed of what weather I might expect when I arrive at my destination.

Nice application

Great application!!!
