I have noted that lately my local weather (based on GPS-location) is on the other side of the world from where I am. Is there some way to force this or reset it so it uses my GPS location?
I had a similar problem.
My location was stuck at erronously showing Bucharest, Romania.
Later I saw that Bucharest was listed in the World Clock page.
When I deleted it from the World Clock list, Bucharest dissappeared from the weather list as well.
Weather page correctly shows my hometown weather info.
Weather page shows weather at your current location and also in every location you have in World Clock locations. You can scroll through them with up and down gesture. Problem is it remembers the last page, so if you scroll to whatever non-current location, it will be displayed next time too.
Thanks -- since it changes locations between my home and my office, going home it did correctly change to that location. Now, this morning, I note that it is correctly showing my office location again. I appreciate your feedback and will remember to check the world clocks if it happens again.
location sevice isn't based on gps data because then it would be accurate. I don't use it because it is off by about 20km from where I live. I added my city manually and that works for me.
i had to manually set it as it kept on thinking i was in lima (peru?) rather than glasgow.
now its got me as glasgow most of the time but it is a little strange in that the fixed weather for glasgow is always a little different from "my location" glasgow...
(edited to include screengrabs to prove i'm not crazy...)
accuweather seems to be quite wrong when it comes to european weather. i tried germany and switzerland and accuweather was hardly right wih its forecast.
atm it wont even let me update, giveme a connection errorbsite.
I just have the same problem the first time yesterday. Is it global? My location became an unknown city in a far away time zone. Weather and clock (home page big clock and task bar hh:mm) all switched to the new location and new time. Very confusing.
my location is about 10 miles away but when i go elsewhere (uni, gf's) it updates it correctly. soooo strange any ideas how to solve it
Yep, I experienced the same problem this morning with the latest 1.66 ROM. Was showing Zagreb as my location, removed the battery for a couple of minutes and problem solved.
Can anyone shed any light on this mysterious fault.
I live in North Tyneside UK and my home screen shows North Tyneside as my local weather. However the location is not in my weather locations and will not update. Consequently the weather on my home page has been snowing for 3 weeks.
I've tried a soft reset to no avail and tried to add North Tyneside to the weather list, but its not in the towns and cities list for the UK.
I've also tried changing the weather page to another city but the home page automatically reverts to North Tyneside 3 weeks ago.
Location services are activated and all the other cities in the weather list update automatically.

Have you changed the clock location? (Click the clock and select a city). That's what determines which weather region to show on the home tab.

Already tried that, it works fine if you wish to set a location, but if you travel around abit like me. Its better to select the "My Location" setting which doesn't appear to work.

Ah - there's your problem. My location is basically crap. It works in some places, but not in most. It will always show the last location it succesfully got the weather for. Personally, I've never even seen it work, so I've disabled it completely.
I just have my hometown weather on my clock, and my regular travel places on the weather tab.

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Looks like i'll have to wait for a fix, and live with the clock location.
Thanks.

you can add cities to the database with an application called weather city database editor and the correct accuweather code.
I have the same problem. My location works for a while and then freezes and won't update. The other cities I have set are updating just fine. After soft reset My location starts working again but after a while it freezes back. I couldn't figure out so far what triggers that. Any sugestions?
Roaming ??
I went to Italy for some skiing on Januari 16th, and found that Location Services worked sometimes but now always. Manually updating the weather didn't work either when it wasn't updating automatically. Then sometimes after a couple of hours or the next day it updated again.
However, I also found that not all providers in Italy offered reliable Internet connectivity, so maybe it's related to the combination of Provider and Internet connectivity. After all, (at least as I have understood) Location Services uses the GPS coordinates and the Internet connection to find your current location and then download the weather details.
I have a problem with weather auto-update function on Miri 3.2 (1.66 ROM), I have only one city in weather tab set to update automatically every 1 hour, but it doesn't do it at all!
If I go to weather tab the weather update fine, but otherwise it doesn't do it.
I don't use "My location" function, I also enabled/disabled HTC location services but it doesn't change anything.
Any ideas on this, anyone experienced this ? Thanks
many of us have this mate, no fix that i know of yet. what you can do is add your city manually and select it under the home screen. why do you want it to update automatically anyway?
Not sure if this is how its supposed to work. Defintiely not in my mind. The auto-update should work even if the weather tab is not in focus.
I.e. if my phone stays on Home screen forever and weather is set to update every 3 hours, the weather on the home clock should reflect it. However, this "auto-update" is not happening and to get it to update I have to click weather tab everytime.
Any ideas/cabs floating around ?
I cant get my location to work.
and if it did, it will put me in wrong location, thousands of miles away from where I am really are

Yup, once I reach the Weather tab, i see the last update time in there (from many hours past, the last time I had accessed it). And immediately it connects and updates with latest weather and time.

i have the same situation and i am too quite annoyed by it.
I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that you've not got a 1.66 ROM. This was a problem in all ROMs prior to 1.66, but is fixed in that.
There is no fix available anywhere for just this problem. If you're that bothered by it then you have to upgrade your ROM version.
my stock rooted sense rom has a giant clock with some animated weather stuff overlay-ed. it it messing up.
it shows the weather as 0, even though its about 23
there is no high or low info
it just says delphi (my city) to the left underneath side of my giant clock
i can add citys as they added cities seem to work, but these added city cant be "my current" city
i did a nandroid back up and did a factory reset and set the phone back up and the weather did the same thing
so i did a backup restore and it once again it was still acting up
i have the weather set to "current location" and drove to another city and it change city's but still couldn't display the animated icons on the home screen or one the weather widget was actually opened
when i scroll through the other two citys i set up the weather becomes animated but not on the home screen
i have deleted the widget and created a new one- no change
i tried to add my city manually but cant because it isn't listed when i type it in
any help would be apprecitaed
there is a chance that there is a software problem and i maybe didnt foramt the phone correctly but i doubt it.
yeah htc servers are acting up.
might be working for some now?
Same here, all night mine has only said the time, Springfield(my city), and the date. That's all. I'm rooted with Ava v10 and modded blue sense clock.
Sent from my EVO's 4G You?........I thought so
