So I've asked at the HTC forums and no one seems to be able to help. Hoping for better luck here ^_^
The default weather app for my Incredible does not auto update like it used to do. It's the HTC one that displays on the main desktop. I have rebooted the phone (turned off), pulled the battery (old BlackBerry habit). I have not disabled any apps with Advanced App Killer. And no matter what, the check box for the auto update feature on my Incredible NEVER stays checked!! I check it, back out and go back in...it's unchecked. I know the settings can work as I can change from Fahrenheit to Celsius fine (same option screen). I've tried with my Location On options turned on (GPS) and off, nothing. Only had the phone about 2 weeks so far.
Ideas?
If I missed any info, just ask. New to the Android platform, not sure what is important and what is not.

Got it figured out. Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync and check the Auto Sync box. Issues solved. Thanx all for the ideas. Much appreciated.
Mine didn't sync very often either. Thing is I got more accurate updates by looking out the window. It doesn't tell you weather predictions it tells you what is going on now. The only predictions you get are for the rest of the week. Personally I find weather bug more useful.
I did a reboot. Left all apps running that were suppose to start. Box would not stay checked. I did a battery pull (habit from my BlackBerry days). Box still does not stay checked. Last night I uninstalled Advanced Task Killer (free version), rebooted, box still will not stay checked. GPS has been on this entire time. Weather Channel app works fine, but I like the look of the HTC Sense (one reason I bought this phone). It's not that it says it is suppose to update and is not. The check box to tell it to update does not stay checked, thus the app does not auto update. I check the box, close the settings window. Open the settings window back up and the check box is not checked.
Have you removed the widget and reloaded it?????
Ya. I've removed the widget from my desktop and tried launching it from the programs page. Still doesn't stay checked. If I delete the app from my phone, is there a way to reinstall it? Wondering if it's messed up, but not sure where I would go to find it again and not really wanting to wipe my phone again.
I don't think this is a "recreatable" issue. I playd with a buddy's Hero last night and he has no issues either. There are a few people on the HTC forums with this issue, but no solutions.
Thanx all for the ideas, keep them coming ^_^
To reload the widget,
Click the + key
Click on Clock/HTC (5th option down)
Scroll to the left to the 3 object.Hit Select
Choose Current city
Next screen click Done.
Well, seems I can't uninstall the HTC weather app. However I did go through the Settings>Application and cleared all the data and cache for everything that said either HTC or weather (hehe, defaulted my desktops too). Issue remains. It's not a setting I messed with, almost positive it's an app issue.
Got it figured out. Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync and check the Auto Sync box. Issues solved. Thanx all for the ideas. Much appreciated.
Glad to see I am not the only one. That is happening to me as well. I had to type in my city and have the weather displayed through there but on the one that says current weather it says no information available. I do have a task killer but it has been working up until last week. I have also tried removing the task killer and still no change. Mine to you check on the download the weather and when you click back its unchecked. Feel kind of silly to wait in line at tech support I mean its only weather and there is other ways of me getting it but if it is supposed to work it should!
The other thing I see that causes this is if you turn off Use Wireless networks for Locations. Apps | Settings | Location Check Ise Wireless Location. I often turn this off IE: If using GeoBeage and if I forget to turn it back on it no-longer knows where I am and won't update. So if others are still haveing a issue try turning this back on....
