So, I've noticed other people have said they've had reboots ever since they flashed the new/one of the new radio versions, and I've had the same problem; however, I'm not sure if it's due to that or my SetCPU profiles.
Anyways, to my question...I noticed every once in a while my location as far as weather on Sense goes will say that I'm in a city that is around 2 hours away from where I live, what do I do to fix this problem?
My baseband version says: 1.16.00.0402w_1, if that helps.

I've noticed the weather showing incorrect location as well. It does show my correct location via GPS but when loading the HTC weather application or another type it will show I'm in another city. I haven't figured out what the problem is. My first thought would be to go into "Manage Applications", then clear cache/data under whatever weather applications you're using.

Has anyone else had any problems with the HTc weather app displaying "No weather data available"?...
I've had this on every ROM i have switched between. And on a recent flash of legendroid it had been working for a few days before mysteriously stopping; so i know the data is out there....
Has anyone else had similar problems or know of any workarounds..?
Never ever had this problem.
I have asked this same question 2 or 3 times over the last few months and not had an answer. It works well everywhere I go but never when I am within about 3 miles of my home, though it once showed me the weather for my home town.
yes, i have had this problem too,,, but it normally clears after a roboot
yeah, i've had this issue since i got my hero last year. when set to current location, it shows weather everywhere except my house..weather bug is a good alternative on the market though.
Likewise. I've never had it work when set to current location, so I added my home town to the presets & just use that - no problems. It's obviously not sourcing the weather data that is the problem, but something specific to the coding of how current location is handled.
Nice to see that its not just me then...my problem was that my hometown isn't listed on the app, which made the fact that it was working to begin even more wierd.
On my 1.5 standard ROM it sometimes wouldn't pick up the weather, I found unchecking the "automatically get weather" box and re-checking it, forced it to update the location and weather, which most of the time worked.
Since I've gone up to VillainRom 5.2 I've had no issues with this.
My phone has been working fine all day and I just looked down at noticed the location it had was Vilnius and the time was 4:30AM. I did a reboot and even turned on GPS for handling the location and didn't fix anything. When I went into the time zone configuration it has New York, NY as my "Home" which is the closest major city to me yet it says I'm currently in Vilnius. And now it just switched to the correct location but has it being 5/12 at 4:44AM.
I just manually adjusted the time and now I'm back to being in Vilnius. The time on the HTC widget shows 4:47AM while the time on the system bar at the top says 9:47PM.
Turned off the manual time and now it went back to the correct time/date. I'm so damn confused right now.
Has this or is this happening to anyone else?
Happened to me and my wife both back in Dec. or Jan. We were on 1.5.
Are you on 1.5 or 2.1? Because we have had no problems since updating to 2.1 root.
2.1 from the how to in the dev forum

People in here have the same experience:
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/20348-eris-google-maps-my-location.html
My phone says I'm in Xuzhou, China whenever I'm in Tustin, California. And it's not just the weather/maps; it's the clock in the notification bar too.
Thanks for the help. I guess I'll wait and see what happens when the OTA hits my phone.
From my experiences with this bug, it's related to the cell tower, not the phone. I tested with three different Erises, on three different versions of the software, simultaneously.
Me too...
I have the OTA 2.1, and now my Eris is showing Vilnius as my location.
I was having a few buggy issues, so I did a factory reset this morning. The Vilnius thing happened tonight, and no matter what I do, it comes back. I've tried clearing my cache on the weather app, switching location on/off, changing my clock app settings, etc.
If I go to Settings/Date&time then uncheck and recheck the "Automatic - Use network-provided values" box, it will go to the correct time for a bit. So far it has changed back every time.
Grrr....
Mine eventually sorted itself out but I had to do the manual time/location management for a few days.
I rooted last night and ever since the HTC clock/weather widget and Google Maps shows my current location to Westland, MI which is definitely incorrect.... I live in Nashville, TN. Any ideas? Thus far I've tried all the basics, restart phone, turn off phone w/ battery pull for 30 seconds, clear data on weather apps in phone, and ofcourse toggle GPS on and off several times. Everytime I turn GPS back on and it "locates" me it gets it wrong. I've tried all of the things suggested for older HTC devices with the same issue with no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Or maybe this is some divine sign that I should move to Westland to see what is in store for me.... Thank you to everyone here for all that you do!

+1 for that app, i had to use it all the time with my HTC Hero. my GPS on my thunderbolt has been good so far, fingers crossed.
still didn't work??? As far as I know I followed what you said exactly... Thank you so much for your help!
Got it fixed. Basically while rooting, i gained root succesfully but I what I believe happened was i flashed the custom firmware twice, instead of flashing the downgraded one first, and then flashing the customized firmware. I realized this because I noticed "S-ON" in the bootloader, so I started from scratch and boom, it was fixed. I noticed the location was off and when I was driving around today it was changing my "location" to random places, and also each "location" change would also change timezones... (went from 11:18AM to 5:18PM actually one time, within 5 miles of the different "locations"). So hopefully no one else had this much difficulty paying attention like I did, but if you did, here's your fix! Now rooted, S-OFF, and all is well here in Nashville. Thanks!
Go predators! I live about 44 miles down the raod east of nashvile, however i cant help u eith your problem

Has anyone seen this on their 4G LTE? I have seen numerous posts on numerous forums for older phones, but no one can seem to give an answer that works.
I experienced this error with the HTC weather widget just showing "current location" instead of the city I was in. However, even stranger, it seems that all my HTC widgets disappeared. I couldn't see any of them to add them to a homescreen anymore.
Even stranger, it would say the same thing on both WiFi and 3G. Most of what I read said it would work on 3G but no WiFi.
I tried rebooting, clearing data of the weather widgets, sync and location services, and finally even a factory reset from the settings menu.
None of those worked. Has anyone else seen this?
Ok, I even flashed back to stock RUU and I'm still getting this error. Any ideas or thoughts?
Check out this similar thread where I posted about what I believe to be the cause of it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684460
Where are you roughly located? Only asking because I'm trying to see if it is because of upgraded software/hardware and different tower locations.

I'm around Knoxville, TN.
I just started having this same problem about a week or so ago. It used to show the city I was in and would instantly update whenever I was in another city but now it just says current location, and when I try to manually update it gives the "unable to contact location service." I thought maybe since the towers in my area were getting updated, that could be the reason why. I am rooted too, though I don't think that would have anything to do with it.
Has anyone else been having problems with their location and 3G signal?
For instance, every time an app needs my location, it says "Unable to detect current location". and the weather widget just says "Current Location". I've tried all the basics including disabling and re-nabling automatic time zone, restarting the phone, updating PRL and Profile, etc. Checked the settings in the weather widget and some settings were unchecked, but checking them didnt make a difference. It doesnt matter if its on Wi-Fi or 3G. It cannot seem to find my location. After updating the PRL (and contacting Sprint), it was finally able to find my location, but now its stuck on that location, even with a refresh. I'm 30 miles from the location its showing (as I travel across town for work).
Also, my 3G signal randomly drops every hour or so. Sometimes it comes back on its own, and other times, it does not. I have to go into options and manually disable and re-enable it.
I have an appointment at the Sprint store on Saturday, but I was wondering if you guys have found any fixes that would help me to avoid getting a new phone.

lol man, I've got about 10 posts in viperrom thread about this same issue.
I don't have a (real) solution, but here's my take on it: My area was recently upgraded to 3G and this is the first sense rom I've used on those towers. For me, the problem has only been with Sense based widgets and apps. 4square, facebook, maps, everything else has no problem with my location (i always leave gps toggled on).
I go anywhere where the towers haven't been upgraded and BOOM, sense has my location within seconds. I think it has to do with the recent NV upgrades my area got and it not being fully completed.
For me to get correct location at home, I have to use wifi with home router, then use something that needs gps, then update the weather widget. That will normally hold it for a few hours.
Like I said, not a solution, but what I believe to be the cause of it. If I find a way of permanently fixing it, I'll let ya know.

Yeah, thats what Sprint told me when I called. That they recently upgraded the towers near my home. But across town where I work, it hasnt been upgraded, and its the same problem.
I do believe that has something to do with it though. Older versions of Sense didn't take the upgrade and thus arent having any problems.
Appreciate you keeping me in the loop!

Exactly. I'm hoping that a future OTA will take care of it. I've sent a few emails to HTC regarding the issue. I know it's nothing huge nor serious, but it's nice when it works properly.
Well, at least I know I'm not the only one then. I guess swapping the phone wouldn't do much good if its tower related.
I feel like taking it into the Sprint store, the employees would just re-do everything I've already done and tell me to come back if it happens again.
I'm with bernechad in hoping a software update will fix it.
More info on the connection issue
I just got off the phone with HTC. They did not have this issue in their database but do now. I sent them a link to this thread. They did not have a clue about what to do to fix it.
For whoever is keeping the lists of locations where this is a problem I'm in Georgetown, TX.
