Ive searched Google and couldn't find a answer to this. Im running Energy.IMAGIO.23563.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.20 and every time i try to update the weather it just sits n then says no weather data available? Even on Google maps it says location temp unavailable? Anyone have any ideas? I first thought gps is bad but im a noob and not sure how to tell if the gps test is good or bad?
Sounds like you don't have My Location turned on.
I double checked it and its on so not sure whats up. Even tried hard n soft reset plus diff roms. Was working 1min then just stopped at 11pm one night

Well . . . weather data does not use GPS, so that is not the issue.
When you click on the weather tab, does it have your location correct?
Can you add your city and see if that improves the situation?
As for the GPS, have you run "QuickGPS" to download the initial satellite information?

Are you able to surf the web and/or get email with it?
How about selecting a city near you. We just need to see if it can download weather data for ANY city.

Ya i can get email, surf the web and got a city a 50miles west of me so that all works? Starting to think that it doesnt like my area anymore
Im having the same exact problem with my Touch Pro 2, you click update the circle spins and then it says no weather data available. I called vzw tech and they are sending me a new one
I am having the same problem with my Tilt 2 on AT&T. It works fine on edge, but won't work at all on 3G.
I've received a new device and its not working near my house, drove 275 miles yesterday and only wouldnt work within a 30 mile radius of my home.
Actually bought a ****ty imagio too and thats not updating either, per someone at ppcgeeks, apparently it is a mapping issue and HTC is aware.

Currently there is no answer for this. Simply add your location manually and select that for the clock location. I'm doing that and have never had an issue with the fact that "my location" is in the list.
Undoing theCAB
Thanks for the reply. Any idea how to undo the CAB's removal of MY LOCATION from the list witthout a reset? Thanks.

I've never tried to remove it myself, so I can't be sure, but you could just disable and re-enable Sense in the Today settings. That should do the trick.
just wanted to share an experience i have had
i was having the same problem with the "my location" updating since i updated to the 1.6 WWE ROM
what i discovered is, when i go to central london, it works, but when i am in north london it doesnt - now for those that know london, you will recognise the town Camden - well when in central london it picks up place name Camden
i think the problem might be to do with the device being unable to recognise where you are - if i find it i will post the link to a thread i read last night (1:23am lol) that said it was possible to add custom locations to the weather widget and this might very well resolve the errors with getting weather at these locations, but i have made no changes to any settings neither felt the need to remove "my location" and it works fine suddenly

There have been a few threads on this problem - none of them have come up with a full solution as yet, though some 'workarounds' are available.
The situation you describe is typical though. Another poster described exactly the same situation for four different parts of London - 2 working - 2 not!
I did a little bit of analysis and research and I do not think the problem lies (in the main) with the phone not being able to recognise where it is. Most posters say the 'my location' in GoogleMaps works fine!
I think the problem is one of 'translation'. The location code used by GoogleMaps is a different format to the one used to query AccuWeather when you manually select a town/city on the Weather page.
Somewhere along the line, the one has to be 'translated into the other. I THINK (and I stress that deliberately), that this translation works for certain locations and not for others.
If someone actually KNOWS how this translation works (and who 'owns' the 'translation' process), I would be very interested to hear about it.

how do you do this? (add location manually). my 'add location' is greyed out. i'm not using a data plan, but using wi-fi to update the weather.
thanks
update: i figured out what was going on. the app only allows 12 cities. once you're 'full' the 'add location' greys out. and the '+add city' disappears.
Well, i'm in San Diego, CA, and i have not been able to update my location weather. I can use google earth fine, but the weather tab says i'm in El Bayadh, Algeria!

I have a similar issue
My location changes constantly just from moving to different parts of my house, One time it will say Swindon, which is correct, other times it will say Wiltshire, which in a way is correct but then sometimes it says Wroughton, which being close is not where i am.
check your world clock, if you have left that with anything other than my location selected it won't work. also check that the weather tab is set to my location too, same reason.

Ya, both are set to My location. I've tried soft resets, turning off agps, i even tried removing the weather tab. its slightly annoying.

I think this guy is a "Jumper"!
sorry no clue then.just seems random, makes me wonder whether not all masts are tied into the location services.
Thanks SamSamuel. That worked perfectly and now it tunes in to wherever I am !!
i searched everywhere and cannot find a solution to the problem. my weather isn't updating and my gmaps isn't locating me either. a couple observations..
1)weather does update when im connected to wifi
2) i tried different methods people used in the forum like - disabling my location, soft reset, plug into activesync, and re enable (doesn't work). i also tried going into settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections> and checking the access point name. (doesn't work). also, using advanced config>gps>turning off gps logging and setting size to 0. (doesn't work)
3) i tried flashing different radios and eventually running a task29 to see if that would fix it. nothing.
im starting to lose hope if ever fixing it. anyone please helpp

OK, i just fixed mine today, it had been showing the weather in the 20 F's and it's up to 80s here in fl. so .... i kept messing with it and I ended up accidentally pressing that little timestamp to the upper righthand corner with the circled arrows. See if that helps?
nope, didnt seem to work. the arrows just spin and spin and nothing ever updates. any other ideas?
how about run your gps and let it detect your gps hardware and also allow it to detect your location?
(if not can you exchange it with a new one and test it out from the store?)
Guys please help this guy out!!

when you say "run your gps", you mean like enable gps in google maps and let it detect? ya i did that and it works fine, with it off, its still supposed to get me a location by the towers or somethin'. with gps on or off, my weather still doesn't update
im running the cell rom and hspl and feel extremely lazy undoing everything just to do an exchange. plus no t-mobile has inventory.... i work there.. so i know lol

Yes, your location and weather won't update until it can find your location via at least aGPS. You're saying that you can open google maps and get a satellite locked position? The next thing to check is that in both your WM GPS settings and your google GPS settings, you have them set to "managed by windows"

Hmmm. What does it show in your device GPS settings (all settings-system-external GPS-"programs" and "access" tabs)? And, also in your location settings (settings tab-location)?
My location [weather] is not updated by GPS. Its updated by cell towers. The only way I know of fixing this problem is to try different radio roms.
yes the com settings match. and Google does locate my position. weather still no update. i would have to agree that it has to do with the radios. anyone know of a radio that works?
I'm on 2.08.50.xxx radio

Yeah I know, but whenever I hard-reset, I don't get my location to update until I go into gmaps and get it to achieve a lock, then my location updates immediately after that.

For some reason it is displaying the wrong location for me. The gps works fine and has the right location for me in other applications but not the weather widget (or app). Is there any way to fix this or manually input my location.
My buddie's Hero does the same thing when he comes to my house. I live near Portland, CT but his phone always goes to Portland, OR which is literally accross the country. My Incredible doesn't have that problem.
You should be able to add a location via zip code then delete the one you are having issues
the problem is that the town I live in it too small for it to be in HTC's library of cities.

We used to update the list of cities for Window Mobile when HTC first realease Manilla which had a similar animated weather app. Hopefully that can also be done in Android at some point.
If you can't find your town then search for the closest that's available. I'm sure the weather won't be too different.
I was thinking the same thing but if possible i was hopping for something more elegant. Thanks for the help. Maybe eventually we will be able to update the list as you said .
Hi all
I'm loving the sense clock widget with weather but I have an annoying problem with it; in my home location I don't get any weather information. If I add the exact same location (same capitalisation, spelling etc) manually and set the widget to use that location it works fine and if I leave it on "current location" I start getting weather updates as soon as I leave my local area.
I started pulling some of the APKs with weather in the name from the phone and tried to look at the xmls to see if there was something I could tweak to get it working but the files seem to be in some sort of binary encoding that I can't open, so I'm stuck already.
Anyone able to suggest what to try next to get this working properly?

I think it had something to do with your provider settings. When I got the Desire I still had my old provider (KPN). I also had this "current locations weather bug" after two weeks I switched over to Vodafone, updated the APN settings, and everything is ok! Hope this helps you a little!

TThanks for this, tried resaving apn details but no change, so annoying that it work everywhere but at home!
I've emailed HTC support about it, got this reply:
Dear Leszek, Thank you for contacting us in regards to weather updates, I can help you with that. The location service for weather updates is based on information from your cell provider and relies on the masts in your area being enabled for this service. If you are in a 3g area disabling this from settings, wireless controls, mobile networks and then updating may help. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mike B HTC

to which I replied
Dear Mike, I do not believe that the problem is with the location service -- as I said, my current location is correctly given as "Cambridge (Current)". Nonetheless, I tried disabling the mobile network, and indeed have now tried all combinations of disabling/enabling the mobile network, wireless and gps, none of which worked. Is there a way to see exactly what weather data the device is requesting? I know I had trouble on a previous phone, which was requesting data for "Cambridge, Cambridge" instead of "Cambridge, UK".

Still waiting for a reply to that one -- it's been a week though, so it's becoming unlikely that they'll actually reply with a real solution.
I have search around and can't find a solution either, at the end, i just remove the time widget, add to the home screen again, and choose city instead of current location...

This is what I have done as a work around but I would like to use the location aware one as it's cool to have the local weather when I commute to work (40miles away), was hoping we could hack the app to make it work better as it doesn't look like HTC are going to finish. I guess I need to dust off my Java skills and start reading about JF's decompiler.
I have the same issue and find it very annoying!
I installed "Beautiful Widgets" and set that up to show the clock with weather set to be location based and it works fine (unfortunately it's not quite as beautiful as the HTC widget!).
Surely this proves that the bug is with the HTC widget and not anything provider based? Anyone else fancy trying to see if Beautiful widgets works when the HTC widget doesn't?
Similarly, the weathernetwork widget works fine for my location whereas the HTC one doesn't
