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.

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.

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?

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.

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks
Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.
And it works very well too
AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.
Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.
why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys
I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.
Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.
My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks
My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!
I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?
Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.
You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box

I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp
Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.
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".

True, but after each soft reset it seems to go back to My Location.
Happy (well...kind off) to see that I am not the only one.....
I mean..what kind of a mess is this if a Phone like this doesnt even show the correct time??!!
Plssss......someone must be able to come up with a solution to this crap!

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?
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

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.

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?

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.

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).
