[Q] weather shows wrong location - SOLVED - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there are loads of threads concerning this issue, but I didn'find the solution in one of them.
The weather-widget on the hometab of my HD2 shows the wrong location. It shows the location in the settings-time/date tab, not the location that is acquired through the network. When entering the weathertab also the location in the settings-time/date tab is shown, and the correct location (with the correct weather) is one swipe down. So the location service seems to work properly, the weather is also updated fine, I only need to get the weather-widget to display the right location instead of the location in the settings-time/date tab.
I'm getting pretty annoyed by this bug, can someone help me out?

Okay, I feel a little stupid now.
I tapped the sun/moon on the homscreen to find the solution in the weather-widget. You can add, delete and organize locations there, but you can't set the location to be displayed. By tapping the clock instead of the sun/moon, you can set the locationto be displayed on the homescreen.
Problem solved!

DST reverts to Standard time after reboot

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while, but it seems like I'm the only one who this is happening to. Since the DST change earlier this month, my Touch Pro won't stay on DST after a re-boot. After syncing it with my computer (I have all the DST updates and stuff from MS), it goes to DST. I've let it wait for the network to fix it, I have an active sync with Google's exchange server, but it only goes to DST after a physical sync with my computer.
The even weirder thing is, while both the clocks in the TouchFlo interface and the clock in the WM6.1 settings dialog display the wrong time (i.e. after a re-boot), PocketShield displays the CORRECT time on the lock screen. This is really odd, since I thought the time in PocketShield was based on the WM clock. The only other application I can think of that uses the clock is G-alarm... but other users have reported that their DST issues were not related to G-alarm.
there is an issue it has to do with your carrier not your phone I had the same issue. go into your setting for the clock and turn off the auto update on startup. That will fix your problem. it is probably just the tower near you having the issue. I had the same issue. I have found references to other types of phones having it to. Strange but true.
Are you running TF3D2? if you are, NEVER tap the clock in it - there is a DST bug in it.
ALWAYS use the "Settings / System / Clock & Alarms" program to adjust your time.
Always apply WMDST2008-1.CAB and WMDST2008-2.CAB files to your PHONE. A lot of Cooks seem to leave them out.
Always switch OFF the "Automatic change time zone and clock" option in Phone / Time Zones.
yeah, I'm having this same problem. However, mine changes to an hour forward about 30 mintues after I change it back, doesn't require a reboot of the device. I can't figure it out.
Mine is okay on the Today screen, but the clock icon is off an hour, must be a DST bug, though what is odd, my clock icon in the top bar is a old style hand clock and not actual time numbers, not sure when it changed, if it was an app I installed or some setting I screwed without realizing.
I will look into the suggestions above.
Thank you
David
If you launch the phone dialer/Dialpad, Menu/Options/Services. Scroll through the services choices, and you will find and option for time synchronization. Make sure the settings for this is set to Time synchronize with the mobile network.
As long as the network is set to DST, so should the devices clock.
At least I know that this is the case with my TP on Sprint.

[Q] Animated Weather on Cookies Home Tab

My Animated Weather won't seem to turn on since I installed Cookies Home Tab. I have the latest one and my animated weather still won't work. If anyone can help, it would be great. Thanks.
Open CoOkie's Home Tab Editor and clik on Miscellaneous settings ,then scroll down and you will see Other settings and make Enable sun rays. Good Luck
ive tried that still doesn't work..
and my weather toggle won't work either, it just stays on off everytime j click it
mine did this too..
but i found out why...
it has nothing to do with weather OR with CHT .. it had to do with my connections host.. it was reading a proxy instead of TmoUS server.. so no real connection.. and no real connection meant no gps.. and no gps meant..... you guessed it.. no location specific download area.. soooooo no weather..
so the reason there was no option to turn it on was because it had no clue where it was... go to the weather panel on sense.. and i bet its not on or not accurate there too.. but if you create a new location it will give you weather for that location immediately..
to fix this go to windows/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks
and make sure its set to use your carrier..
see if that works. It did for me, fixed it in seconds.
well, my weather works. it shows my location and everything, it's just my weather animation that doesn't work, i can't turn on the weather animation toggle. i click it, but it just stays off, but thanks for the help.
Are you using a custom ROM with CHT built in? If do, I would suggest to reinstall CHT.

[Q] Another Weather & Toggle Widget question

for those who are familiar, please help....I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my location! Nor could I find an answer on here. When I originally set it up, I chose my location and left the automatic update UNCHECKED. I couldn't find any setting menu or option to change this so as of right now the only way I know of is to uninstal/reinstall the app and start from scratch...but there has to be another way right??
I had a similar problem. The solution that I found is to remove the widget and set it again , weather configuration window is up and you can change your location. However, it is not very satisfactory solution, but better than reinstalling the entire application.

[Q] Weather/clock widget will not update current location

Anyone having the home screen weather/clock widget not update your current location? and yes it is set to use current location in the settings. Is there anyway to clear the widget data?
I posted about the same issue some days ago.
Finally I got it fixed. I had noticed that each time I went to the clock app and open the desktop clock tab, it updated the current location. So I looked around and found that it was possible to have the weather on the lockscreen, what I did. I also went to settings>applications management>all and force weather main to stop.
I don't know which stage has been efficient but now my location is correctly updated each hour. I think it's worth a try.

I know it's an old thread, but I had the same problem and it got me on the right track. You need to have WiFi location enabled if you're connected to WiFi.

Automatic location change in widget AND lockscreen -solved-

How can u force a location change on thus thing? Although I have refreshed the weather it still shows a weather of a different city I was many hours ago.
sent with SGS3
EDIT: before you go down and read the last page, as 99% of the posts are irrelevant, what i had to do in the interim for both of these is this:
1) go to the search cities through the widget and re-add the current location screen which immediately found my location
2) once this was done, the lockscreen was still stuck on the previous location, and this was solved by a restart.
Unfortunately forcing an update on the weather, did not change the location. Turning on the GPS did not either. Therefore im not sure if the update frequency changes this would allow for more accurate location service, or its a small bug that samsung needs to look into.
