not entirely sure what you want? is the sense one not good enough for you? or maybe the sense one doesnt recognize your town?
there is lots of weather apps on the market i love snowstorm and recommend it to you but cant guarantee will pick up little villages or something
@chili1496 i use the following weather widget:
http://www.ermesjo.org/blog/?page_id=66
It even finds the weather forecast for towns like Deal in the U.K by searching for location. You can also search by GPS position.
Tell me, which do you prefer... worm or fly fishing?

I'm in Seattle, WA, but mine says I'm in Denver, CO as well. Like every time I go to craigslist, it takes me to the Denver site, same with the speedtest app. Routing problems on tmobile's end maybe?

Im pretty sure it just trying to tell you that denver is the best place to be and it would rather be there

It will do this until it locks in your actual location.
Do you have location set for network or GPS? It should find your relative location quicker with the network, but it is of course much more accurate with the GPS. If you have neither on....
If it is set at GPS, and you have not been using it much (or first time), it takes a while for the GPS to lock in your signals and location.
There is a good app called GPS Status which has built in AGPS updater - that one locks in pretty quick.

Thanks for the app. Works for me, but I have to keep it installed for SpeedTest to know I'm in Dallas so that's a little boo.
Please post questions in this section.
Same here. I'm in Seattle and my speedtest.net app reports me in Denver. Turns out, speedtest does not use GPS to locate your position. They use your IP address, which for me is a Denver, CO Tmo IP.
So how do you fix this? Don't have a clue. I called Tmo and their "Android Specialist" to me to reset the phone... seriously
They told me to do a reset which is bs whats that gonna fix? Then she told me that she found a forum on google stating there having server issues in the pac northwest. I cant find this forum

Gps fix?

What did you do to make your GPS work better?
Could you be more specific? Like is yours not working on a particular Rom or what?
Sent from my glacier using XDA Premium App
That could be maps, the dreaded "searching for GPS", refresh rates and dropped connections. Any roms better than others?
Maps app you could get mapdroyd it lets you save all maps locally. Spotty connection? I've never had that issue.. and rom I'm using cm7

I don't see how mapdroid would help me.
From what you said I assumed when you said maps that they weren't working or something

phone RAAAGGEEE

Ok this has been annoying me for a while now... basically my 3G is very shoddy, VERY shoddy...
Whenever i run speedtest , on a good day it caps out at 0.35mbps, it just won't go any higher evfen though it looks like it can, and more often that not im hitting around 0.1-0.2mbps.
I have tried god knows how many APN's, and before i go and complain to T Mobile etc, just figured it ask if anyone here knows anything i can do.
Im in the UK by the way, in the london area, if anyone else could tell me what their speeds are?
Oh and funny thing is, most the time my 3G icon shows up as H :|
About 0.8 - 1.5 on o2

Save Off Line Maps

I'm going to the Lookout Mountain area in Northern Georgia.
I may not have a good data signal all the times, and want to save some maps off line.
The hints say to touch the microphone, and speak "OK Maps".
Problem is; I have no microphone icon in the "Maps" app.
How do I make this icon appear? Is there another way to save off line maps?
UPDATE
------------
Those instructions were for the older versions, when it was simple.
Found instructions for V7. Very convoluted indeed.
