Hello,
I have successfully installed the HAN application on my N82.
Regardless of whether I connect to the internet via WLAN or 3G, the app reports no information for Weather, nor for Events!
This sounds like a great idea, but it doesn't work!
Via 3G you should get the Cell ID necessary for the service and that is then used to fetch the local information. With WLAN it cannot get this information, so no location can be determined.
What kind of errors do you get for Weather and Events? Does it say it is a temporary technical problem or does it just say that no info is available?

Hello redreku,
How come not via WLAN(im under the impression it is possible)?
Also why Cell ID, should it not require a data connection but off cell tower, if i am correct?
If you dont mind explaining to me(briefly).
Thank you,
UPDATE!!!!!
Ok so did some testing after reading this information(thx).
No WONDER i never received event information till today (for 2 reasons).
First off i was in the city(and on the road) so it was using my data connection and i would get event data.
Second testing home via WLAN and data connection, i would not receive event info under WLAN but still receive weather. Tried under data connection and NOW i can see event information for my local area.
MAJOR fixing needed here......Me as an advanced user would have never knew.
Some sort of compromise should be made for this case.
Hello redreku,
It is not clear why with the WLAN connection you cannot find the position. some other software (i.e. google maps for S60) is able to find an aproximate position without gps and using the wlan.
I think that H&N has to work with the wlan too.

Sorry for the confusion I seem to have created. Actually it is already passing the CellID information via the WLAN connection as well. Only if you are not connected to the cellular network at all (e.g. no SIM inserted etc) then you naturally cannot get the CellID.
I was kind of thinking ahead already... there are ways to detect the position with WLAN only, but currently we do not have that. One of these days maybe;-)
@snowy: If you receive the local weather information via WLAN, then the CellID gets delivered. At the moment I cannot figure out why there is a difference for events in WLAN and GSM. But the following scenario could be possible.
Maybe you are connecting to a different cell when using the 3G data connection? Maybe with WLAN data you are connected to a 2G cell and then it switches to a 3G cell when you start data? And then our current events search radius kicks in and finds events for one cell but not for the other one as their positions differ somewhat. Hmmmm... definitely worth investigating. Nothing that could not be cured with a field test trip to sunny California I suppose;-)

Thx redreku, will do some testing an report back but remember i left this comment here http://betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/2697 comment #1
So still testing accuracy.
By the way, event is sometime working with WLAN ive noticed already.
Ill give a better feedback soon.
Hi again all.
Since one of you asked for more detail, here it is.
I just now reconnected through 3G (CytaVodafone), and under weather, I've received the following message.
"Weather report is temporarily not available. Sorry."
And under Events, I get this message.
"No events found nearby".
The event message I get too, but I do get the weather in Leicester, UK. (using Vodafone GPRS Internet)
The events have been mentioned as being sourced from http://www.wcities.com/ (according to snowy in http://betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/2715).
I assume this means for the event to show you ned to live in one of the cities listed no that website.

@gioannou
It is true that currently we do not have events data for every position. However, you should be able to get the weather on Cyprus as well.
I have to double-check that we do have the weather data for Cyprus. If we do then it is some strange issue that we have to track and resolve.
