At least you are in the same country. I was sometimes deported to several time zones away, messing up my clock as well.
HTC support says it is not something under their control. The location service is provided by Goggle, who decodes the mobile operator signal tower identity to give a city name. Report your case to HTC, and they'll report it to Google to fix their database.

Weather not updating.

About a week ago, the weather application stopped updating.
As it has always been, when going back to the home screen
my signal would go from 3G to H and update.
Now, the only way I can get an update is thru wi-fi.
No settings that I am aware of have been changed or altered
to cause this to happen.
Has this happened to anyone else?....btw my phone is Tmobile US.
Would appreciate any feedback and, moderators if that has been
covered before I do apoligize. Did search but, nothing relevant to
this particular problem.

How ironic?
You live in Lewisville, TX? I used to live there, went to high school there actually... but anyway, I posted about this EXACT same topic in the T-Mobile USA section for the HD2. Literally, our situations are identical. I am experiencing the same issue.
I cannot believe that I am not the only one.
Then again, I did find quite a few similar posts to ours on the official T-Mobile forums.
As far as a solution goes... your guess is just as good as mine is. I have no idea how to go about resolving this lame-ass problem.

Yeah, kind of really getting me down. Not getting the weather
update isn't the end of the world but, it's one of the phone's
main draws to me.

happens to me once in a while...
dunno what causes it, but if i go to:
Settings > All settings > Connections > Connection Setup
and go through that process, it all seems to work fine again...

I'm actually fed up with the weather location i use weather city editor now to add my town manually as the feature doesn't even work in my town, on Saturday i left my town and tried out the weather location and it told me i was in united kingdom, yeah no sh^t sherlock lol

Time Changing

At some time time today my phone started changing itself to the wrong time zone, i should be pacific time and it keeps changing to central.. I have never had this problem before and did not install or change anything that should cause this problem...can anyone help???

have you left your world clock page set to a named city rather than my location? (tap the clock on eth homepage to go to world clock page)
Also, are you right on teh border between PST and Central? Could be you are connecting to a cell tower that identifies itself as central.

Yes i have tried that, and it reverts right back anytime i restart my phone... i am in Oregon and this has not been a problem until today...

GPS not working

Hi...
Up until Sunday, my Sat Nav on either Co Pilot or Google Navigation was perfect - it knew exactly where I was and was incredibly accurate (and I use it a lot!!).
On Sunday, for some reason, both sat nav apps can't seem to pin point my location and think I'm up to 30 metres away from where I actually am.. which then has a problem with navigation as it thinks I'm on another street (or if I'm on the motorway then it thinks I'm in a field!!!)
I tried re-installing the phone software (using PC Companion, so it was completely a clean install) and this still hasn't helped and it has happened for the last couple of days.
Can anyone help me?

Do you have AGPS active?
It might help.

Hi TuxStyle,
I've got all the options active..
It has been working without problems since I got the phone, I travel A LOT, sometimes I think too much, but it's never done this..
Since Sunday it's just become very inaccurate and annoying as it thinks I'm on a different road.
None of the settings have changed and I've re-flashed the phone using SEUS and re-installed the apps to make sure it wasn't a setting.
Still having problems...

This exact same thing happened to me on Friday.
After many months of my GPS working impressively flawlessly,
suddenly it is totally useless...
Loses signal a lot, cannot accurately locate me, etc.
No change in settings, no new apps installed, nothing...

HOW STRANGE!!!!
Sorry to hear that My_immortal, though I'm glad someone is experiencing this as well.
Don't flash your phone again, it doesn't help!!!
It might have happened earlier for me, though I hadn't used my phone for sat nav since Thursday (when it was working fine)...
Do you think there is something with the satellites? (Highly unlikely since there's just 2 of us experiencing...) or something to do with hardware?
Mine is R2BA026 as well, UK, Unlocked

hmm.. i suppose a lot of factors affect how accurate gps is... like.. how many satellites the phone is using for triangulation.. any buildings/obstacles whatever nearby that can cause interference(?)
mine works great though, 10m accuracy. without gps, and just 3g alone, it's a crappy 500m.
you can download an app called GPS status from the market (free), shows you how many satellites your phone is locked on (mine usually fluctuates around 10~11) BUT i'm not sure if it's a fluke or real, but i think it is real, because it showed me 10m accuracy, when i checked on google maps, it mentioned 10m too.

Hi Tookieboy,
Yeh on G Maps, I get accuracy of 10m, but when using Google Navigation or Co Pilot for actual sat navigation, it thinks I'm on another road (or in a field next to the road I'm actually on), so before it was pristine and knew exactly where i was, but now it doesn't..
no settings have been changed so it seems strange..
Co Pilot shows good signal from 11 satellites so again... confused :s

clearing the cache help? maybe a bad byte somewhere? i dunno..

Seems to be fine here in Canada thus far. Used it today and it was spot on. I do not use the AGPS just gps and so far so good.

Hi Rockjock, thanks for your input, but I'm still having problems.
I have 11 satellites showing, so technically it should be positioning me on the correct road.
I have tried all variations of the location settings.
I had a look at the cache and it appears empty :s
Any other ideas? It's just strange that it started randomly on Sunday..
My_Immortal, have you had any luck?

AGPS helps to get the lock faster.
I didn't try driving navigation. Only walking and from what i see, i'm about 10m away.
Maybe if two roads are close i would have the same problem.
I'll do a test in weekend.

I tried it yesterday, still unusable.
Oddly, it could locate me accurately when still,
but when my car was moving it lost signal often
and the accuracy grew smaller and larger,
so no use in navigation...

tried it out last nite and again it was spot on. Speed was almost perfect and it did find me n the right roads and was dead on. If it just happened all of a sudden it could be a satellite issue. But you need only 3 for a positive lock. BTW I using co-pilot live 8 ... have you another handset to try out?

i'm havin same issue today with google navagation but everything is workin alright with co-pilot.. since google nav is beta version here in canada, that could be the issue for me...

Did you try the GPS test from the Phone's service menu?

just in case you don't know, the combination to access the service menu is..
m b b m b m m b
m: menu (left most button)
b: back (right most button)

Phone keeps changing time zones

Hi all, my TMOUS HD2 randomly changes time zones from EST to PST at least 2-3 times a week on its own when I have "my location" picked as a time. Anyone else have this problem? I flashed to the new T-mo ROM about 3 months ago...Tj

My device and a friend's device is having the same issue. This is irrelevant to the ROM as I am running a Artemis after the 3.14 and my friend is on 1.48

mine just recently started doing that..keeps putting me in the GMT -5 (Indiana) time zone instead of the -4 (Atlantic) I've had to change it like 3 times in one day. Never had a problem with this b4. Wonder if it has anything to do with the ThrottleLauncher WP7 theme i installed on it the other night..because that time setting seems to be changing to.

my uk hd2 keeps doing this over the last week or so, randomly jumping ahead timezones. it's persisted accross multiple energy roms and a stock rom.
weird

my HD2 was doing this but only when i would go home to visit in Richmond TX. When i would update weather manually it would switch to eastern time zone. I think this is because the phone thinks I am in Richmond VA so it switches to Eastern time. I havent found a viable fix for this but its not really an issue.
IS there a chance you are using your phone in a city or town that has a common name in another state? this might be the reason. While riding my motorcycle a while back i stopped in London Arkansas and my phone thought I was in London UK.

same Indiana time zone default issue. I HAVE THE LATEST 3.14 original ROM with c00kie's home tab.

Same here with the original ROM installed. I live in GMT+1 timezone and it sets my time one hour ahead at least 5x a day. Pretty annoying.

Hmmm... wondering if this issue has no fix, or if its not wide spread enough... It DEF has something to do with CUSTOM roms, because both me and my wifes HD2 worked like champs for a month straight out of the box, with location services and the whole nine with out ANY problems, I flashed ChuckyROM and here it is... No matter how many times i change the timezone, no matter how many soft resets, no matter how many ROMS flashed, the time keeps jumping... sometimes one hour, sometimes 2, it onlys corrects when i DISABLE all time syncs and locations... WHICH SUCKS and shouldn't be the fix... ANY HELP would be appreciated , THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi folks!
Pls. check & use this!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9378641&postcount=1
It should fix all time zone issuse... Just give me a feedback!
Regards,
MrT69

That happened to me a long time ago. And I remember I fixed it either by checking/unchecking something on the Windows Mobile Device Center (or ActiveSync), something in the sort of NOT synchronizing Outlook items (no problem with me because I never use that anyway; I use MyPhone instead).

think i have a fix
disable the option in settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umys services - time synch
you can leave the option in settings - data services - internet time sync enabled.
not sure why its changed, i have stock everything....

I know the problem
Hello,
I know this problem.
And I think I know the reason for this "acting out".
It started for my HD2 at the day of the
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME change.
I believe the makers of that phone forgot to install
a daylight savings option.
It would be great, if someone could make a clock that will do that,
or that will verify the time with a different time service,
taking into account daylight savings time (winter/summertime).

Nope. Its a problem for org ROMs also. It probably has somting to do with the Internet-provider or the providers of weather-app etc.
In my case the "my lokation" in the weather-app is showing wrong place. This error appeared at the same time as the clock-problem.
