I have a strange phenomenon going on in my phone, I just travelled to another country, and the weather is stating that im in a totally different city there...
Anyone knows how can I force "My Location" to show the correct one ? :S

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?
I Want to save my home location but it does not find it under the search it only finds the city. how can I save the 'local' area.
Is it also possible to edit where it gets the data from like i could on my raphael?
weather updates
Please can anyone help?
I think it's from Accuweather - http://www.accuweather.com/.
This has been covered before, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589132, amongst others.
My homescreen weather is telling me im in London and unless London somehow transformed into Dublin my phone is wrong.
Can anyone help me i set it to Dublin but it keeps switchin back to London on the homescreen
Hi there. I'm over in the west of Ireland, and my homescreen location reads correctly. Check that you've allowed the device to use your location.
Go to Start > Settings > (choose all settings from the menu at the bottom) > System > Location Settings
Check that the location service is enabled.
Hope that helps
iv tried everything at this stage, up until a couple days ago i was getting my local weather station. but now it just stays on london
anyone any ideas
Hi, when you say switching back do you mean you can get Dublin to appear on your home screen then it is replaced with London again? That is odd. When I'm in Cheltenham and select My Location is says Gloucester as Gloucester was the last place i was in that My Location worked (it doesn't work where I am in Cheltenham). If I try and update I get a connection error. Do you get a connection error in Dublin when you try and update My Location when it says London or does it update London weather OK? (i'd expect it to fail unless London is actually an added city and not "My Location"). Have you tried adding Dublin as a city to get the weather?, it could be you are in a part of Dublin where My Location doesn't work properly.
if you have left your weather screen - OR - your world clock set to anything except 'my location' then it won't work.
nice one sam
I had gone through all of the different weather settings and location settings and completely ignored the world clock ha seems so obvious now.
thanks got it sorted..
hehe, good job. the easiest ones are often the hardest to see.
Hello! I am using the newest ENERGY Rom, but i am having a problem with the "My Location" information on the homescreen. When i change the Sense language to Danish it shows my proper city name, but when i am having it on English language (which is what i prefer) my city name doesnt show up, but it just says "My Location".. Can anyone help me out?

Hello everybody,
Can somebody help me with following problem;
When I select the weather tab, there is a default location.
Somehow I managed to put this on "Kerkrade". This is the town
where I live. (NL)
However when I try to update it start searching the location,
but it does not update this location.
When I add another location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade"
the phone updates the weather in this tab.
So this is not a Wifi problem
I think the location "Kerkrade" does not exist, but how can I change the default location to "Heerlen-Kerkrade" ?
Maybe it is very simple, but I can't see the option to change this.
Thanks in advance,
Maurice

Hello,
Thanks for the link....
But this link describes how to add your own cities. I have the problem that default city is "Kerkrade" and there is no way to change(=delete) it. I can't delete it either, because it is not listed.
I can add a new location, for example "Heerlen-Kerkrade" which works fine.
But on the clock screen, the phone uses de default weather. This is the default one, which I can't delete !
This added one "Heerlen-Kerkrade" I can delete, but the default city I can't delete because my HTC does not see it. If I select update in the default one it say "IDS State 8" below the city.
Is there a way to kill "Kerkrade" in my phone ? Or kill all weather data, so I can start again (without hardreset)
Regards,
Maurice

Hello fighter7139,
That patch did fix my problem partly. Indeed it deleted my default location in the weather tab, which is good.
But on the first tab (clock) it still displays the weather for the deleted one.
It still says "Kerkrade". Is there any way to force my phone to select the
right one?
Thanks,
Maurice
Hi all,
I fixed it.
I found the solution in the thread of fighter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563204
To turn it off "My Location" in the home screen tab, simply tap the clock, add a city, and make this city active. After that, you will have the home tab (and the weather tab, of course) displaying data for this city.
Suberb,
Thanks for your help !
Groeten uit Nederland,
