I don't know why but it sets My Location to: Attleboro, MA, US.
And I'm in Santiago, Chile.
I enabled in Settings -> Location:
Location Service Settings
HTC Location Service
And also I accepted the prompt about Google location services.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
You have the Quick GPS app on your phone , run Quick GPS and that should help your phone find the local GPS sats . If you have google maps you could check to see if the GPS sats are finding your location on the map.
When I first got my phone I got some cities in NY state popping up on my location ( I live in SC ). After I ran Quick GPS it has worked fine since.
Thanks! That worked!!!
Now my phone and me are in Santiago!!
Thanks
Sorry, but "I'm back in Attleboro"...I don't know why, could be a crazy cell tower? And even my clock goes backwards one hour...
Run Quick GPS again , it needs to be updated every 6 days.
Can't hurt to run it.
I did it as soon as I saw the wrong location, even Quick GPS is set as update automatically.
But I'm still in Attleboro...
How to change my location
I had the same problem with my Imagio - it said I was in some city in Spain . . . I'm in Birmingham Alabama. I went in to the clock and changed it from "My Location" to my actual city, Birmingham. From that point on my weather data also displayed for Birmingham.
HTH!

it says im in london when i am actually in edinburgh, so i cannot use my location for weather updates
Settings > Location
Ensure location service settings is on, HTC location service is ticked, and auto decline is not ticked.
tried this, they are both ticked, tried unticking them and reticking them,
still showing as london, this is so irritating im getting the wrong weather location updates,
i dont know what to do
You could try opening google maps and letting it use GPS?
I'm not sure if that will fix your weather problem though.
il try it and see if it works, god damn it !! I liked having the latest weather depending on where I was !!
have you left your weather screen showing a fixed city (london) instead of "my location", I've read where that can cause location issues. also on the weather screen , menu - enable my location.
perhaps updating satelite list via QuickGPS could help - just guessing though as i only notice such stuff when i dont have a gps signal (like indoors) then it takes the nearest mobile signal carriers location (cellphone antenna mast or whatever its called)
Sorry folks, but the location service does NOT work in Edinburgh. HTC know about this but won't do anything about it... very frustrating.
Wrong Location on weather
Hi,
the same problem on mine but me had me in India!
I was getting false 3g & HSDPA signals.
I contacted T-Mobile who confirmed that my area was being upgraded from 2g.
He then suggested that I change my phone band to GSM only, I had a similar problem with my MDA pro a few years ago.
Anyhow seems to have solved that problem, hope that helps.
By the by phone / menu / options / band / network type - choose gsm.
it hasn't solved the mystery of my disappearing contacts (sim & phone) but I guess that is for another forum!!
Hi folks,
I encountered problems with the location service of the Omnia7.
At first, A-GPS is working very rarely -most of the time I don't get a location until the real GPS finds a signal (that means I get no location indoors).
Second, the GPS doesn't find the right location. In 9 out of 10 tries, the GPS thinks I am somewhere in the Czech Republic (which is about 600km away). This bug occurs in Bing Maps as well as in WeatherBug.
Very rarely I get the right location but most of the times it's completely off -but it's always the same "off", so I think there must be something wrong with the GPS module or the software.
So I can't use the phone to navigate or as a sports tracker.
I wrote the Samsung Support today, hope they have an answer.
I hope for you guys to confirm or deny this issues.

Used bing maps few times already and never got a problem with them.
My wifes omnia is getting fix in about 2minutes still or even 10 when I am on the move.
Omnia on the other hand is getting my location very quickly (I have location turned on). Last time on halloween noght we were lost at some suburban area and my phone get us from there very accurately. I could see us moving like on proper sat nav application. I know we have to wait a little bit for nice TomTom or iGo.
Second hard situation, I got my location today at work (under roof) where HTC HD was getting signal only standing close to window. It is ok for now if u ask me.
No Problems Here...
Hi there,
I am getting "room level" accuracy all the time. If I am at home in the bedroom, Bing maps on maximum zoom in shows me in the bedroom. If I am on the other side of the house in the living room, it shows me in the living room.
Seems perfect to me.
Cheers,
Pete
Thanks for your replies...
...the strange thing is, it seems to be working now (for 1 day it's fine). I have played around with the Diagnostics menu (GPS-settings) and since that it's okay as expected. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I hope it's staying like this.
I also have problems with my Omnia 7 : the map is very imprecise (the gps apps indicate a 3000m precision) so I think it doesn't manage to get a fix and use 3G triangulation instead. I tried waiting for about 30 minutes outside, but nothing changed. The weird part is that it started working at same point, for a few days, and then broke again. I have no clue about what's happening.
I'm pretty sure I had those problems before discovering the diagnosis menu, but in case I tweaked something I shouldn't have, can someone (with a working gps) give me his settings ?
The "Test Mode" menu can be called by dialing *#1575# in the diagnosis app. Then there's three options in the "Change state" menu.
Thanks in advance.

I was having the same issue. My settings were off as well. My device was set to UP MOLR state vice CP MOLR state. How does that happen? When I was on NoDo, the GPS was working great.

This helped me too. Thanks o/
edit:
Again the same problem, but this time after flashing custom rom. And this time TLS option ''Unknown TLS Session'' is missing... Any help?
It worked once when I first tried it but ever since then for example when I go into maps, it's always searching and searching. the local filter in the bing search doesn't work either...
What can I do? Anyone have the same issue?
I've managed to bring up my location but it's highly innacurate. I downloaded the GPS app that is available in the marketplace and it's showing the wrong latitude/longitude coordinates as well.
Highly annoying.
Do you have Weatherbug installed? This app seemed to break my location service too. Sometimes it showed my location a few hundred miles away... I then uninstalled Weatherbug and somehow, after a while, it was working again -strange.
Now it's very accurate and fast.
Then go into settings -> "find my phone" and check the upper box for "saving the location".
It could also be a problem with your carrier -the location service first takes the location via A-GPS which is you provider's responsibility.
GPS might take a few minutes to determine the exact location.
I called 3 and they said I could arrange a door to door exchange but first they advised me to go to the 3 store nearby and use my SIM in another omnia 7 to see if it works.
Surprise surpise, after the call, the GPS is now perfect. I wonder if they did something at their end lol.
So after a few days use, I have come to the conclusion that the GPS doesn't seem to work well indoors, but as soon as I go outdoors, it's tracking me just fine.

GPS will absolutely NOT work indoors because it needs nearly line-of-sight to the GPS satellites above. The roof of a car might work but the roof of a house won't.
Indoors the phone is using A-GPS, the triangulation of cell towers of your network operator. It's very inaccurate and might get no location at all.
See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9417735&postcount=2
Okay so randomly my weather widget stoped working, it's stuck on one location which is 5 miles away from me...it used to work perfectly. I read up a little and seems it's known problem...Any solutions...Yes i've tried hard reset.
Htc Locations and (Google) Maps is brilliant except it doesn't find my exact location...maybe a couple of streets away...
Is this normal? I mean I used to get exactly location when i turn off "Use wireless to find location" and Gps is off...So it's finding location from nothing??? but it found it exact then it can't update and asks me to switch on location settings and once on it can't find the exact location.
I'd be thankful if anyone could elaborate and explain things a little...
I wonder if someone with a wifi network has moved house.... (given that google were using wifi networks (apparantly) for location data - it even suggests as much in the phone's tips when you run through the settings....)./
One thing I would suggest is that just by using cell-tower triangulation the system won't be very accurate. But if you turn on GPS and get more than 3 or 4 satellites connected it should be very accurate.

Nope I'm just using data connection from my providers. no wifi. So You reply states : okay maps and locations wouldn't be very accurate due to no gps...Answers my questions. thanks
Now any ideas on the why the weather widget is only showing one location all the time ( current location )...Which is 5 miles away from me...
I have the question regarding Triangulation.
Previously my phone was catching my location based on triangulation of antennas even when GPS was not ready and still searching for satellites.
Now when I hit MyLocation it always says unavailable until it gets GPS signal.
Strange enough my feature phone SE Cedar almost immediately gets the location (different carrier though).
What can be reason?
Check you location settings in the settings menu... That might be the problem?

Well just read my post.
In location settings you have only GPS and WiFi.
As I wrote previously the phone was getting the Location BEFORE GPS kicked in,
now it doesn't work and why - this is my question.
And WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Google Maps show me today I'm in KarlsKorona while I'm in Warsaw!!!
What the f..ck?!
