HTC Weather App not updating (diff issue-sync issue)

Okay so let start off by saying I have the 2.2 Froyo Software.

 

If you add a widget, theres is a widget called "sync all"; whether it is a new one from 2.2 I dont know but lets move on.  I have that widget on one of my screens.  Periodically I will hit that sync button because I refuse to have it enabled all the time for it to update on its own.

 

So we should all know that by sync'ing it updates: Backup Contacts/Twitter/Weather/News/Stocks and maybe more.

 

However after hitting that sync button, minutes on end my temperature is the same; my weather is not updated.

 

If you were to go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>scroll down to Weather and click it; it will say that the weather was in fact updated but the home screen widget is not updating.

 

Even if you were to manually update it via the settings/accounts and sync/weather and then click weather update, the status will say it has been updated but the homescreen widget will not budge.

 

I called HTC after talking to Verizon and HTC also had noted that it too wasnt updating for him either.

 

I am a user that has everything disabled. But while I await for replies, I will enable everything and start checking things off one by one to see which thing it needs to function.

 

I dont have Background Data Enabled

I turn off Bluetooth-Wifi-and all locations.

 

OH and PS: if I go into the weather app and choose the update from that screen; YES it will change temperatures and weather but not by performing a sync.

 

Again HTC noted the same issue; thought it was a software glitch but last time I called them on this issue was well over a month + ago

 

Has anyone else noted the same thing?  Thanks

the background data needs to be checked in order for the weather to update once you perform a sync; everything else you can leave unchecked

Do you have an app killer? You may be killing your weather updates.
