Weather location not updating - Desire HD General

Hi all,
My 'current weather' on the front page of my DHD has stopped updating to the current location, it seems to default to my 'hometown'. It does update the weather, just not to my current location.
I can't for the life of me remember how to get it to use my current location rather than the fixed location.
Help?!
thanks in advance!

i had the same problem and i restart my phone then it works for me

Same here. I removed the widget, rebooted my phone and that fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps you too.

Same for me as per the OP. It just stopped displaying my current location and is stuck on my work location where I spend most of my day. All was fine and working a couple of weeks ago, but now....
Only thing I can think of that has changed is that Im now running the latest LeeDroid GB rom and Kernel and stopped somtime around his 3.0.3 kernel update. (Dont have enough posts to post in the Dev threads yet) I would post there but it seems like no one else with his current ROM has this problem.
Ive done a search here and tried all the suggested "fixes", but none fix it.
I have loaded the Sence 3 lockscreen and Sence 3 MMS addon from the Kingdom thread, I wouldnt expect that they would be the cause.
Any ideas?

Dont worry, all fixed. Did a full wipe and re-flashed my rom.

Market Apps Does Not Inform on Updates

I'm on JFADP1.51 CRB43 along with the new 1.35 Hero Theme installed. The Marketplace has suddenly stopped informing me about updates.
When I access my "My Downloads" section, it does not show a title for "update". Whenever searching for the specific app I already have installed, it shows me that there is an update available. This goes along with just casually browsing the "All" app catalog.
Could this be because of the ADP1.51 version of the ROM? I've been using this ROM for more than 3 weeks.
It looks as if this is targeting all a variety of ROMs.....:

i am having the same problem. I haven't paid my bill in a couple months (being jobless sucks) so I assumed that's why....?
I created another thread that's dealing with the same issue (just throwing links to each other to help anyone that comes along with the same problem hopefully find a solution).
momentarylapseofreason proposed a possible solution. Although it didn't work for me, I'd be interested to hear if it works for others:

Simple resolution...
Go into Settings-->Manage Applications---Market
Clear Cache
Then go back to the Market and you should see the updated versions (Worked for me with HandCent and MobileDefense.

Thank You bitbybit!
I really appreciate it that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I was reading your thread and found the link to my thread from there.
EDIT: Seems that clearing the Market cache does nothing...
Haha, no problem I was going nuts thinking I was the only person whose apps weren't updating
I'm hoping it's not an intentional thing that Google decided to shutoff access to anyone w/a hacked rom/root or something
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon!
Shouldn't be related to hacked ROMs - I am on stock 1.5, and have same issue.

so do i for this market not updated for the app, right now im using jf 1.5 ADP....we just waitin for the confirmation from google why this thing can happened

your phone is still on after a few months of not paying????? they turned my phone off at midnight the day my bill was due a few months back, i wasn't even able to call t-mo and figure out wtf was going on. i was a day late and they turned off my phone even though i have been a loyal customer for 7 years
I also started experiencing this problem a couple days ago, im on JF 1.5 ADP with the Hero theme. If you search for it manually though, it will say update available. Weird stuff.
Same problem here...it was working when I was on Cyanogen 3.2...ever since I upgraded to 3.4.4 about a week ago it stopped working.

Work Arounds!
I am having the same issue as well, but it does not seem to be ROM related.
I have been using Cyanogen's ROM's since version 3.2+ and have never had this issue until recently, but seeing as how people with stock phone's are having the issue as well.. that eliminates the possability of it being ROM's.
I tested out clearing Market Cache which did not work. The only thing that seems to be working for me is going through and searching for the app manually, which will list an update for the app your searching for, just not in the My Downloads option.
OR
You can download aTrackDog from the Market which will find updates to all of your apps and you can download from the Market using that. But if anyone else seems to find a workout or fix, please let me know
I'm having this problem also.
Is anyone that has this specific issue able to download paid apps? This seems to be broken for me as well.

Yep -
I have this issue (UK Magic on O2 with Cupcake stock). Noticed it last week. Bought CoPilot (UK) on Sunday and 2 apps today without any further issue.
My 2 cents: I did briefly try a non-Market app (using the appropriate checkbox) the other week - could this be a cause?
I'm currently using aTrackDog to get my updates (I've tried clearing the cache and it did nowt).
Why don't you start using aTrackDog? This should help for your problems while someone will find the solution for this.

Well damn. I cleared cache and even verified the permissions of my app-private directory. I've wiped and reflashed.
Both problems persist.
Just out of curiosity, what was the non-market app?

Oooo now you're asking...
*struggles to remember*
sigh - sorry can't remember (I've been trying a lot of apps lol) - whatever it was it wasn't what I was looking for as I deleted it (and the downloaded apk).
I'm hoping this is a market bug rather than a handset issue...

wifi my friend. My voice and data has been off for a couple months lol.
[SOLVED]
Hi,
I've found a way to solve the market issues and missing updates issue.
I'm running CyanogenMod-3.5.2.
These are the steps I recall I've done to fix the problem:
1) Open the Terminal and:
Code:
cd /data/system
mv packages.xml packages.xml.old
2) reboot the phone,
packages.xml will be recreated
this may took a little time so be patient.
3) you have to enter your gmail account info again.
and some apps could forceclose.
4) reboot again
5) I've run also the fix_permission script in the Terminal,
but maybe it is not necessary, so you can try to skip this step:
Code:
/system/bin/fix_permissions
6) run the Market app and you'll see Update available in My downloads,
if there are some updates for your apps, downloading and installing also
works again.
7) You can delete packages.xml.old now if you want:
Code:
cd /data/system
rm packages.xml.old
That's it.
So far I've not noticed any malfunctioning, all my settings were retained
and all apps seem to work. Hope that I've not forgotten any important step,
so USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
UPDATE:
:-( sadly this worked only initially, the missing updates issues is not resolved
but at least i can download apps again. Seems like a file permission problem tough.

t-mobile branded weather problem

My mega is t-mobile branded and the weather is not showing on home screen. its just asking to update but it's not updating. i tryied to update by official htc fix but it faults on %4. And maybe anyone knows how to change default t-mobile internet browser to opera 10

just that the weather on the homepage of my touchflo didn't update untilI ran the quickgps app
Weather application is not linked to quick GPS but HTC location service.....assume you have enabled that... btw it is not a very stable program
Sometimes you have to update more than ones......and finding your current location with google maps helps.....
have ur ISP settings set to ur mobile operator , connect to update , just for 1 second and turn it of , i mean the connection , update QuickGPS and try again .... i'm not really sure if this helps but everytime i do somethin in my internet settings , the Weather tab resets it's places hope it updates properly now !
still nothing.
couple months ago i downloaded some file from xda which fixed this problem, but now i done hard reset and i can't find it anymore on xda

I've sent 2 times a support form to t-mobile in germany, asking if they would be delivering the weather fix for the german market... so far no answer. The first time was right after the fix was posted by htc in December, the second time I posted this was a week ago.
No answer whatsoever.

And may be they wont do it mate.
Quite propable, that they won't do it. The same behaviour has been with other german t-mobile branded phones - too much hassle to properly test patches etc, with no real possibilities that it would bring money in.
I'll follow the hspl stuff how it advances and after some observation period will flash myself too.
After all I've been flashing my Blackstone and Kaiser for a while, so this is not a big issue. My wife is using the phone and she doesn't have the "same urge" to have her phone flashed

whoa. just having said that previous thing... going to the ROM section and finding out, that T-Mobile has released a new ROM just today

CoPilot favourites not saving

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

Wildpuzzle not picking up location

I installed wildpuzzle and its not picking up my location correctly. On maps it says I'm several hundred miles from where i actually am and the clock/weather widget doesn't find me at all. If I turn on GPS maps can find me but the weather widget still can't. Is there a solution to this?

first of all, why did you create a new thread? if you used the search function or read through a few pages of the wildpuzzle rom thread, you would already know, like other users, that there is still this little problem. danne jo however i think has fixed part of the issue in the new version.
sorry, i did search but obviously not with the right words and also I have the latest version.

You lousy, miserable, jobsworth ****. The poor bastard was asking for help.
For those having issues with triangulation / location finding: DanneJo figured out last night on IRC that it is because the app NetworkProviderService.apk was removed.
You can extract it from 8.0.8 (it is in system/app) and add it to the 8.0.10 zip file, then reflash. I can confirm this works fine.

Hello for the past weeks i tried to install many roms some dont start other do. I like that people share the roms they make. The wildpuzzle rom would be perfect but the location problem is still not fixed(also the fix as discribed here is not working). The openfire rom and the CyanogenMod are very good but as far as I can see its not possible to make videos with the wildfire with those roms installed. So maybe some one can advise me.......
I have installed WildPuzzle 7 (the previous version) along with the Wildpuzzle V7 overclock kernel and that seems to do pretty much everything wildpuzzle 8 does except without some new apps. The advantage is the location works and so does the contacts (picks up 07 and 44 numbers as the same person). I haven't seen any major differences between the two versions other than that.

HTC Weather app (current location)

Since the latest OTA update the current location on the weather app is stuck on one location. Even if I'm in London it will show Basingtoke. It updates for a moment and then reverts back to the old location. Anyone else finding this? Has a fix been worked out?
Thanks
Have same issue.
I can't imagine this is anything to do with hardware, though if its software related surely everyone would have it?
Have you checked yours? go on.. ave a look

Same problem here. Besides that, after the new OTA, Locations widget never shows that cup of coffe? wich indicates my possition on the widget, I have to tap the widget (wich, by the way, updates forever) to see the map and my position. My only hope is that the future Gingerbread update will fix that since HTC won't release another update soon.
Has EVERYONE with the new update this issue?
Or are there some users with the new ota update which DON'T have this issue?
Did a factory reset helped to get rid of the issue?
Mine is with the new OTA update. HTC said my phone needed to be sent back to them to be flashed to the previous firmware. Stuff that! i flashed it again myself and the problem remains. must be a bug in the new firmware?
I suspect that this new firmware has some nasty bugs and I think that's not HTC's fault. I belive this is an Android problem because in the last week I saw many complains regarding similar problems from people with various devices (Droid, Nexus, Galaxy etc). What makes me wonder is why HTC continues to roll this OTA since they've got so many complains about it
Guys
If it is of any use to you, I had the same problems, with it losing my correct location in the Weather screen. I reinstalled 'Location' under settings, and all was fixed. Where previously it had just listed 'Current Location' in the Weather screen, it now locates the phone properly, with my current town
I have never had this problem after the update.

I just re-installed and rebooted and still not working. I've instead installed Fancy Widget 1.3.0 which looks identical. HTC banned this from the market because it looks to similar to thier widget. At least Fancy Widget works!
Me neither, i don't have this issue after OTA (but I have the sms one...)
If you go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > HTC Weather Sync Provider and click "clear data" it resolves the issue.
Just seems to have got stuck due to the update (for some people)

Tried that, it got rid of my holiday location and has now replaced it with London. However the clock widget shows Poplar (which is more accurate) and when pressing on the weather widget, it first shows Poplar (Current) and then it updates and switches to London (Current).
I'll see if it ever changes from London tomorrow.
Cheers for the suggestion, at least it got rid of my holiday destination.
can people confirm if clearing the "HTC Weather Sync " solves this issue ?
It did work in my case. Everything is back to normal now.
I reset mine as you suggested today. Now I'm in another town its displaying the location I was in earlier today. Seems you have to reset overtime you move location.
I did a factory reset the problem still there. also if you delete the data only update once after you go to another town you have to do it again.
