Disable My Location in the Clock - HD2 General

How can I disable this feature in the clock? The clock randomly goes to my location instead of to my added location. I disabled My location in the weather tab already, now I want to get rid of it in the clock also.

and I want it to disable :/

How have you disabled my location? In the weather tab , I don't see "My location" ?

Wouln't you just go to the settings tab, click location and disable the service, im new though so havent had much of a chance to play with it.

If you disable the location service in settings, the only thing that happens is that "my location" will not be updated anymore (nor in the weather tab nor in the clock). What I mean is the following:
1.Tapping on the clock shows My Location and other added cities
2. On the weather tab you also have My Location and your own added cities.
I know how to disable My Location on the weather tab, either through a reg modification or Dutty's cab. But I don't know how to do that with the clock (could not find a key for that). And that's bugging me because after each soft reset the weather location in the clock changes to "My Location" instead of my self-choosen city. And because I have disabled the location service and My Location in the weather tab, it will not be updated anymore (of course) and I have to manually switch back everytime to my city of preference.

Nobody has a clue how to do this?? It's really annoying to change manually to my preferred location after every soft reset

Sounds to me like that's your problem right there!
I've disabled it in my weather tab, so it's simply not there, but it's still in my list of clocks. However, I have a city that I added myself as the default clock location, and this is always the selected one when I reset the phone.
The default behaviour is not to reset it to the "my location" location, as yours does. So, removing "my location" is not what's needed. You need it to stop defaulting to it.

thanks for your answer, but how do I stop it to default to my location instead of my preferred, self added, city?
edit: I also have disabled my location in the weather tab.

Not quite, I also disabled My Location from Weather (using Dutty's), but after a reset the clock insists on going to My Location, instead of the chosen city.

That option is available in the settings menu, data settings and and time synchronization.

does it mean dat you then have to disable time sync?

disabled time sync in data settings but after a soft reset the clock still persits to choose my location instead of my chosen city. Any other solution?

has anyone found a solution to this? im still facing the same issue since mylocations wouldnt work without wifi

Up up up !
After an hard reset last week I noticed this fu..ing bug and did the same : disabled my location in meteo tab, and now I'm still looking for an answer.
Sometimes you can spend hours and hours on the Net for some stupid bug, looking for a mystery registry key

Is this the solution ?

And I said to myself : it's quite late now but... this is it.
I finally found (I hope so) the solution, from Inks (thank you by the way) here :
HTC Blackstone: Touch HD > Touch HD General > How to remove My location in home tab (post 19)
It worked for me for the moment, but I didn't refresh meteo this evening as I'm abroad and not using 3G-GPRS when roaming. We'll see when I'll be back home with an active data connection... I hope it won't piss me again.

My Location/Weather problem in 6.5

I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.
If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.
If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.
Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.
Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?
Thanks!
Hi
can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?
One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..
Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..
I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..

On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
OMG that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"
After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.
Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?
Thanks!

hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!
Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.
After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.
Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it

Time Zone Mess

Hi,
maybe I am the only one - but I have a HUGE issue with which I never had to deal previously!
I am living on Bali/Indonesia = GMT +8.
Indonesia has 2 time Zones GMT +7 and +8
In prev version of Leo Roms (non-offocial ones like Dutty's) I could also set "My Location" and the responding time zone (= +8 for Bali).
Now I got the HD2..with "My Location" enabled it picks up weather for either "Kuta" or "Denpasar".
If it takes "Denpasar" all is fine as that obv is linked in the Manila Database to GMT +8..HOWEVER if "My Location" updates to "Kuta" Weather than the Clock jumps one hour back (as "Kuta" seems to be linked to GMT +7).
Totally frustrating....
Any idea what could be done?
I already set value "0" under /Time/for automatic updating....still....this bloody clock keeps flipping backward...
If I disable "My Location" in weather than I can select only "Kediri" - and that is linked as well to GMT +7 = all clocks are set wrong if I amend that manually to GMT +8....plus: under Clock Settings "My Location" is also still shown...grrrr
So...guess it would coming down to amending the Manila Database - but: how can that be done?
Any Input would be highly appreciated..as I never experienced such an issue with any Phone..weather WM or Apple or Symbian
I am in england and sometimes the 'my location' location for some reason thinks in in new dehli or a couple of other citys ive nevr heard of!
You could try tapping on the clock itself (world clock), adding the city manually, and then selecting it (radio button). Then it'll show that time instead of your "my location".

You're not alone. I'm in the UK and my location correctly reports my position, but it thinks it's in GMT-5 Eastern US timezone. What's that all about?

How to set My location after up ROM?

Hi!
I have some up ROM since i get the HD2. The problem is: the first using it, it can download the weather update for My location is very good (by the wifi, data on, and the PC Microsoft ActiveSync), then after some up ROM time, very sad. I could't get the My location information any more! Please help me how to get My location informaion after up difference ROM?
Thanks
I never could buddy, and never could a lot of other ppl - I had to add the location 'Cambrdge' and show that one on my home screen.
TryThis
Set your home town using Manilla City Editor, works a treat, search the forum & you'll find the app. & how to use it. Hope this helps. I use this as My Location does not always work as it should.

You mean, after flashing a new rom, my location doesn't work? Can't get weather update for your location?
Have you enabled "My location" on the weather tab menu (last option)?
On these new roms that have a short after flashing setup, you have to go to weather tab menu to enable my location.
Hi!
I did anable weather already. Bad: new when installed the soft location from above advice, Then my PPC appear with blank screen! finally I have to Hards reset!
If i am not wrong, first u need to set some settings in ur phone.
Setting -> Menu -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms
Set ur time zone.
Hope it works
not 100% if I understand the question... but...
go to the weather tab, click "menu", click "enable my location"
not all cooks enable this by default, so perhaps it was left disabled in your ROM.

add location manually

hello,
how do i add a location manually?
my weather app's 'add location' is greyed out.
in 'world time' i only have the option to remove cities or rearrange.
thanks

Hi, Have you ever been able to do this? Have you installed any custom ROMS or home screen apps tha could be hiding this? Another point, have you tried a soft reset (switch off and take battery out for ten seconds or press the red reset button under the back cover? On 1.66 stock ROM (and below from memory) There should be a big Add City with a + at the left side above the My Location radio button in World Clock. If you don't think it was an app the caused it you could try a hard reset if a soft one doesn't work.
I believe that there is a tool for adding locations, not "findable using the Add City option. A searach on here or the apps and theams section might identify it for you.
Pretty sure you need 'location service' turned on to set a location...

Although I haven't seen the TMobile USA ROM on stock WWE 1.66 you don't need the location service active to add a city. The Weather "Add Location" function and World Clock "Add City" facility appear to be links to the same thing (IMHO). It's only when you try and get weather data that the location service needs to be activated (then you get the Google Location terms of service screen if it is switched off). Don't why theoption is greyed out. It would be interesting to know if you have ever been able to add in the TMobile USA ROM.
thanks for all the suggestions.
solution: i figured out what was going on (and nowhere in the manual could i find this). the app only allows 12 cities. once you're 'full' the location greys out. and the +add city disappears. my phone came with 11 cities preset so all i had to do was add my home city and i lost the ability to add additional cities with no explanation.
the way this phone is set up is kind of silly. i can look out the window for the local weather, but if i want to monitor the weather in a city i am getting ready to travel to i have to go through the hassle of resetting my phone to that city. which of course, makes the local time/date of the phone incorrect. 'my location' is nice if you never leave home or have a world wide unlimited data plan! (but if you travel and want to monitor weather elsewhere it's a pain).
now to get rid of my location.....
even though i have all data services turned off it somehow keeps defaulting back to my gps location.

ps - i'm using the stock ROM 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE

I have the same problem with the local weather update, but I havent installed anything recently.
Cheers ... FF ...
Have tried several rom's lately, with all of them I have the same problem. The home city seems not to be found, other cities upgrade well in weather tab. Tried everything, agreed google maps, activated AGPS, etc.
Can this be caused by new version of browser, google maps or anything else??
Maybe some cooks have the answer.
search for adding towns to the sense database.
edit here ya go, did the legwork for ya.

Hi Samsamual, thanks but adding other towns isnt the problem. For some unknown reason the location "my location" dosnt update, all the other places update fine. Its a bit of a bummer because its the "my location" info that is displayed as an animation on the home screen. Does any one know how to change which location is displayed on the home screen?
Cheers ... FF ...
make sure location services are active,,,
settings menu all settings system location service, and on the weather tab make sure my location is activated.

OK, when I looked there (had previously done so) all looked fine, however with what you say its made me notice I dont have a weather tab. The only things are Location Service settings ->Impove location service.... (on) and Programs that use Location Service-> HTC location service ... Ticked.
no i meant in sense weather tab, not a tab within location services.
when you set up weatheron the sense weather tab, you click menu, enable my location, accept the google yes/no screen.

assuming you mean when you go to the weather tab and click menu, there isnt an option to 'enable my location', then you already enabled it and your problem is something else. Did you turn on location services in settings menu all settings system?

Yes, its almost as if it cant work out my location and therefore cant download the relevant info. I have added my local town to the locations and thats fine, but as I say its the "my location" weather that is displayed on the home screen (or not as is the case now).
Cheers ... FF ...
Flashed a new ROM, all working now.
