Follow the instructions on the resulting dialog to grant permissions to the application. 3. You're done!. Your device is now connected with Facebook and ready to use. HELP

What happened???? This used to work on both of my Dash's (it's the reason - in part - I bought Dash #2).

I can't get this app to load on my Sony Dash. Is this a known issue?

NOAA Weather (US) by dmaxwell

The reason that this widget is not available on the Sony dash is that Sony has an exclusive arrangement with another weather provider, and that arrangement prevents other weather widgets from being offered.

So why does this app say that it's no longer available on the dash yet it works just fine on my Chumby One?

Yup! Like the rest of us it hasn't worked for quite some time. And no effort seems to be taking place to fix it either. I have two other apps in the same boat---long not working and not being fixed. I have a bad feeling about the future of Chumby.

Still not working! Displays "Unable to load deals" all the time. And I second the comment about not giving us the "San Gabriel Valley" deals, as "LA" is a bigggg place. I'm getting a bad feeling about Chumby in general, as I have two other apps that are broken and not being fixed.

piece of crap. first you have to know tech support to even get it running .. then it wont stay connected. Trust me all my output wireless is top notch. if you want a good alarm clock this is for you. otherwise over rated. bought tonight at best buy spent too long getting it up and running . Taking it right back tomorrow. Besides the fact of the customer support on the website re : connection : not even the courtesy to respond to everyone. No customer service. Where is the value here. Surely they are making the money to atleast act like they are supportive. Even if it did work top notch just for that I am taking it back and telling everyone to not purchase anything from this company.Our country may be in hard times for all but atleast keep your pride and value. Something alot lack these days. BE different than the rest. Frustrated in Florida ! Thank me for shopping I am not coming back. No tools missing out of this shed!

Really like this clock. I have a couple of suggestions. First, the white rings around the buttons are kind of bright. Maybe you could make them a lighter grey color? Second, is there any chance you can add 24 hour clock support? Just suggestions. Great work.

London Tube Status by dmaxwell

I'm wondering if there is a way for this to only show the status of a single line between certain times, and only if there is a problem. I.e. from 6am to 9am - if there is a delay on the metropolitan line, then pop up a status screen. If not, continue running other apps (which in my case is the Flickr widget scrolling photos). Basically show me if there is a problem before I go to work - otherwise, show me something more interesting :-)

@jdavid_anderson - With the current CP (5.0.35) it is not possible to disable the browser controls overlay that is shown on page reloads. This is something that is outside the control of this app so a new CP will need to be released, should this be addressed. We'll try to get something in to facilitate such a preference in a persistent manner - perhaps a button on the geek panel and/or perhaps a /psp config file...

I see that the latest version of this app loads a info screen thingy at the top when the page is loading. It is nice to have a touch keyboard option, but is there any way to turn that info screen off. My web page reloads every 30 seconds and I prefer that it doesnt have that on the top each time it reloads. It used to not have it. Is there a way to disable that ? Thanks Dave

The real reason for my follow-up at this late date though, is: As of today, the Sony Dash is allowing the running of this app! Hooray!

hi nigel, first of all, thanks a lot for all the work! I've tried to installed the script and widget as you described it, but it seems not working. When I start the widegt I always get the message "this widget requires a script to be installed..." Does this mean, that the installation of the script didn't worked? Or is this just a standard message? Perhaps there is a way to check on the chumby if the script is installed...

Hi, this is my hands down favorite chumby time app. simple and brilliant. I use it to the exclusion of almost all my other clock apps and have set a channel just for this app to compensate for the faulty "stay" pin feature which goes away and lets other clock apps back on! Thanks for the app.

Thank-you both for providing that suggestion. I've added the SI speed units to the configuration dialog. If your chumby (classic, one) hasn't rebooted in the last few days, I recommend you do so now to download the latest control panel software. You should certainly do this if the new WWO release fails to load!

2012-01-01T13:04:16-07:00Z

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I just realized that I need to rewrite from scratch for older chumby devices as they don't use AS3 syntax. Since I am not a programmer and only just learning this Flash thing, this might take a while but I'll work on it. As for a seperate VOL slider, I haven't been able to figure out how to program that. My original app had one, but it didn't do anything. A workaround, which is how I use the chumby, is to set up a "wakeup" channel with an app that has music or whatever it is you want to wake up to. The non-working swfs have been removed to avoid confusion.

This widget was momentarily withdrawn for a few reasons. There were a couple of problems with the chumby software recently. The WWO website changed its location codes and search result format. I wanted to implement local caching of weather data. This widget now loads the saved information much faster.
