I have noted that lately my local weather (based on GPS-location) is on the other side of the world from where I am. Is there some way to force this or reset it so it uses my GPS location?
I had a similar problem.
My location was stuck at erronously showing Bucharest, Romania.
Later I saw that Bucharest was listed in the World Clock page.
When I deleted it from the World Clock list, Bucharest dissappeared from the weather list as well.
Weather page correctly shows my hometown weather info.
Weather page shows weather at your current location and also in every location you have in World Clock locations. You can scroll through them with up and down gesture. Problem is it remembers the last page, so if you scroll to whatever non-current location, it will be displayed next time too.
Thanks -- since it changes locations between my home and my office, going home it did correctly change to that location. Now, this morning, I note that it is correctly showing my office location again. I appreciate your feedback and will remember to check the world clocks if it happens again.
location sevice isn't based on gps data because then it would be accurate. I don't use it because it is off by about 20km from where I live. I added my city manually and that works for me.
i had to manually set it as it kept on thinking i was in lima (peru?) rather than glasgow.
now its got me as glasgow most of the time but it is a little strange in that the fixed weather for glasgow is always a little different from "my location" glasgow...
(edited to include screengrabs to prove i'm not crazy...)
accuweather seems to be quite wrong when it comes to european weather. i tried germany and switzerland and accuweather was hardly right wih its forecast.
atm it wont even let me update, giveme a connection errorbsite.
I just have the same problem the first time yesterday. Is it global? My location became an unknown city in a far away time zone. Weather and clock (home page big clock and task bar hh:mm) all switched to the new location and new time. Very confusing.
my location is about 10 miles away but when i go elsewhere (uni, gf's) it updates it correctly. soooo strange any ideas how to solve it
Yep, I experienced the same problem this morning with the latest 1.66 ROM. Was showing Zagreb as my location, removed the battery for a couple of minutes and problem solved.

Can anyone shed any light on this mysterious fault.
I live in North Tyneside UK and my home screen shows North Tyneside as my local weather. However the location is not in my weather locations and will not update. Consequently the weather on my home page has been snowing for 3 weeks.
I've tried a soft reset to no avail and tried to add North Tyneside to the weather list, but its not in the towns and cities list for the UK.
I've also tried changing the weather page to another city but the home page automatically reverts to North Tyneside 3 weeks ago.
Location services are activated and all the other cities in the weather list update automatically.

Have you changed the clock location? (Click the clock and select a city). That's what determines which weather region to show on the home tab.

Already tried that, it works fine if you wish to set a location, but if you travel around abit like me. Its better to select the "My Location" setting which doesn't appear to work.

Ah - there's your problem. My location is basically crap. It works in some places, but not in most. It will always show the last location it succesfully got the weather for. Personally, I've never even seen it work, so I've disabled it completely.
I just have my hometown weather on my clock, and my regular travel places on the weather tab.

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Looks like i'll have to wait for a fix, and live with the clock location.
Thanks.

you can add cities to the database with an application called weather city database editor and the correct accuweather code.
I have the same problem. My location works for a while and then freezes and won't update. The other cities I have set are updating just fine. After soft reset My location starts working again but after a while it freezes back. I couldn't figure out so far what triggers that. Any sugestions?
Roaming ??
I went to Italy for some skiing on Januari 16th, and found that Location Services worked sometimes but now always. Manually updating the weather didn't work either when it wasn't updating automatically. Then sometimes after a couple of hours or the next day it updated again.
However, I also found that not all providers in Italy offered reliable Internet connectivity, so maybe it's related to the combination of Provider and Internet connectivity. After all, (at least as I have understood) Location Services uses the GPS coordinates and the Internet connection to find your current location and then download the weather details.
The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.
Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing
Confusing, yes
Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.
author unknown. It's better that way.
sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!
All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".
Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.
On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.
When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.
The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.
hope this helps

I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
On the home screen in sense, it says im somewhere im not.
Its never my acctual location (Its over 100miles away....)
When I go to the weather tab > remove location
The location isn't listed!
Even though it clearly shows my location, and this other location on the app..
What the hell do i do?
thanks everyone
im curious to this as well it seems i have an "invisible my location, location" haha. I always have to actually input my city in the time and then i get the actual weather for my city.
hey you guys, i had to reflash my phone today, and when i was at the homescreen instead of showing the weather for my city, it showed the weather for somewhere else. i added my city , and tried to remove the one it shows up now, but there wasnt a option to remove it, just to remove the city i put in. help anyone????????
make sure your gps postioning is on then it will change cites based on gps
yeah i tried that but it always seems to get my city wrong, so i found out that if u hit the clock on the home screen it will give u the option to change cities

Nothing to do with gps, my location doesnt use gps. It gets the data from the phone masts.
Go to the weather tab. Place your finger on the screen and swipe down until your location comes up. Go back to home tab. Weather should match.
I have always had my town which is outside Pittsburgh, Pa on my home screen, in fact if I traveled it would update to where I was. Now it has New York City and when I update does nothing. How can I fix this?
Thanks
Press on the clock so the location settings come up for 'World Clock' then ensure you have is selected as 'My Location' instead of any of the other cities. This setting is what also controls your weather area also if you are on your weather tab, you can swpe your finger up or down on your main weather animation until you see the eqather based upon GPS location. between these 2 actions you should get back to normal. Hope this helps
Fixed... Thanks a Billion..
