Weather update... - HD2 General

For ages (5 months plus) i haven't been able to get the "my location" on the weather to update to get around this i just manually entered a town close by and updated via wifi..
But bizarrly the last Day and a bit its working perfectly, i haven't changed anything on my phone at all, any ideas how thats happened ?

Strangely enough i've been on holiday all week and haven't once got the weather update working except for very early this morning and now i haven't had a problem all day. I go home tomorrow

Weather location on home screen

Afternoon guys, been reading this forum with great interest over the last weeks but first post.
I have to say overall I am mightily impressed with this phone and am the envy of most people that have seen it. The camera appears ok to me (slight pink tint) but nothing too drastic although i am keeping a very close eye on it.
My concern at the moment is with my location on the home screen regarding the weather. I live in Glasgow and all was working fine...I then went home the other day to Perth and the weather location changed to this...was quite impressed and no problems. Since returning to Glasgow yesterday afternoon it still says my location is Perth and will not change despite trying to update manually etc.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to rectify this problem?
Thanks guys and thanks for all useful tips etc on this forum, seems to be my most visited site of recent weeks.
I would like to know that too !!!
+1 because that location service really sucks. it tells me I'm in a town that is 20km from my actual location.
Bump

Not quite the same for me but have a similar issue in the my home screen location has failed to update since the first time. So now effectively useless!
What I have done however is add a new location (closest one I could find to my actual home). This can then be set as your home page weather by selecting the clock on the home page, and then selecting the newly defined "home location" as your home. (Sorry terminology might be out as I don't have my HD2 with me!!!???).
Hopefully there is a fix for this but a sort of work round in the meantime.......
Hope someone can find another solution soon !!!
kick up google maps use gps in the menu for google maps wait until it finds sats then click blue dot to get your home location.
leave it running (ie press home button) then goto weather and update
well it worked for me
I don't know if this is helpful or not - other than to just demonstrate that this is not a 'universal' bug, and perhaps to narrow down what I'm doing differently. But, I've been in about 1/2 dozen countries since I got my HD2, and it hasn't had any problem updating my location once. Each city I'm in, it changes without issues, and now that I'm back home, it's changed back to my home location as well.
I'm on the stock HD2 from HTC (unlocked), stock ROM, and I'm on Vodafone UK.
I have disabled HSDPA, but other than that, no other tweaks to mention.

Does that stay after soft reset ? Or do I have to go toGoogleMaps every time after it changes connection ?
it has only stayed on a different location once for me
i never needed to repeat
after i did the above it has switched reliably since
dunno why ?
i am on t - mobile if thats anything to do with it
Desn`t seem to do the trick ...
After soft reset it went back to another city .... STRANGE !
Have you tried soft resetting the device mate? Or adding Glasgow as a location, and then switching back to My Location.
Might help. On my X1, My Location thought I was in Torrance...wherever that is.
Not got any problems get, but I haven't left Glasgow since I got my phone. Will be travelling this weekend, so will see what it does ^^
Soft reset the device of course ... but that didn`t help ...

didn't work right now, somehow the weather-tab always shows me it's updating but when it stops the last update is still 2 days ago (date shown in the upper right corner of the weather tab). seems it's broken atm
This happens with me too, I have no clue how to fix it, so instead of creating a new thread, does anyone know how to actually GET RID off the weather on your home screen? I am over the excitement of knowing what the weather is like where I already am lol...
it updated the weather but the location is still wrong (around 20km off) and I can't add my location manually, the town is too small to be in the list. seem it just doesn't work for me, because the location service just sucks and doesn't really use gps.
Mine keeps changing the home location to any main location here in Bulgaria ... can`t figure it out !!! I`m in the biggest city and I still receive information of a city 400km away from my place , then from a city 130km from here .... and it keeps changing .... very strange !

I think you need to realise that not every single township, city, village, etc is available to Google for the weather location data.
For god sakes, I live in SOFIA , the capital of Bulgaria ....

Hi c0rp1, i also Live in Sofia and have another issue. My phone correct find my location but weather information is not correct. I think it's Espoo weather information.
Im not information how to resolve this issue. At the moment i add Sofia in Wetaher tab and switch it manualy every time when i make soft reset.

Weather Not Working for Local Location

Since yesterday my weather widget hasn't been working for my town anymore. When I click and launch the app it shows no data available for my town (Boonton, NJ). If I add say another city though (e.g. New York) the weather data comes. Any reason why it would suddenly stop working for my town? Can someone try adding my town and seeing if they get info?
I had the same issue after flashing I useally have to refresh it manually a few times for it to work.
tried refreshing for hours no avail..bit the bullet and wiped and upgraded to DC 2.0.8, its working now hopefully the problem wont return.

HD2 Leo TMOUS Time Issue

So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.
Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.
im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..
you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.
I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?
DST?
im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.
since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.
not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.
hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.
