Every HTC device I've used, up to and including the Sensation, has had no problem localizing my weather to the city I'm in.
The EVO 3D for some reason will only round it down to the province though...however, Google Maps has no problems with accuracy.
Any ideas?
Looks like stock weather app isn't triggering the GPS at all (can tell because the GPS icon doesn't appear at all for it).
Any ideas why? Must be a bug.
I have the same problem with mine, I use an airave at home and it's about ninety miles off. I think the phone uses agps or something similar for the weather app.
On every other HTC I've owned, upto and including the Sensation, the weather app automatically triggered true GPS to find my actual location for weather purposes.
no problems here
I have no idea why is been working great here, even when I go to work (diferent cities) or when I went to my California trip, weather will changed to where the city I was driving by or wtv
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Very Nice.
I assume you guys are all on the Sprint version?
Keep in mind I'm on the newly launched HSPA Rogers version.

I have the Verizon 6800 and I have tested radio 3.42.30 & 40 found no difference for my device. Both radios locks under 2min sometimes less than 1min. I use BAF tool which does the work for me just click & walk away...soon it will lock.
My company headquarters is in Beaverton, OR but I am staying in downtown Portland. Since I landed from the airport and driving around downtown Portland all day...no locks at all...
Back home is Memphis, TN and I can get locks throughout the state and since I border Arkansas & Mississippi and get locks there as well when I move around the tri-state area....
My goodness....if I had not visited Portland/Beaverton before, I would be very disappointed if I was depending on this device for navigation here...

Since when has oregon left the union?
I had the GPS working in Southern Mexico just fine
I noticed I can only get GPS locks from a moving car. This helped me immensly on my recent trip to New Jersey. Try using HTC GPS tool and running the clear memory command. Also try using this app to obtain a lock first, then load your map software after it establishes a lock.
Good luck!
Whats pretty common with most standalone GPS's and I'm sure also pertain to our phones, don't rely on just the GPS to sync by itself. It usually helps if you open your navigation software and search for the area that you are in, then the GPS has some idea of where you are and can have a better idea of what satellites to look for. With WLS and GoogleMaps, I can never get a sync until I search for my town and then enable GPS mode, it will sync eventually, still takes several minutes at times, but will sync. If I leave it in SF or Atlanta it may take hours and multiple reattempts and still no sync.
Just my experience with it.

When waking the phone and seeing the lockscreen first, the animated weather only shows up like 50% of the time.
Usually I just see a static weather icon that says "No weather forecast available" Anyone else have this issue ?
I think its my crappy connection here in Chicago. The absolute worse mobile network on this phone. And totally dead in my house. At least my old EVO 4G worked fine inside my house, not this 3VO.
Already called Sprint telesales, they said my zip code shows good coverage. They said to turn off phone remove battery and restart should help. LOL uh yeah...no.
They did reprovision my number to restart the connection for a better signal, at least that what she says it did. I haven't noticed any difference whatsoever, still zero bars.
After a week they will call me back, might possibly get me a free airwave.

I get the same thing. Guessing it's the crappy signal but not 100% sure.
Check your settings, accounts, and see if weather is syncing.
I am running the stock HC from sprint on my view. I have s-off and everything.
This is only a Wi-Fi Device. I really like the stock rom. I'm use to sense. I'm getting irritated because the weather widget never displays my location. It will display the city name for a few minutes then say current location instead of my city. Is there anything I can do about this or is this because I'm using this as a Wi-fi only device?
thanks in advanced!

Do you have GPS enabled? I'm only using mine WiFi only as well, with GPS enabled, and it doesn't have any problems showing my current city.

I’m having the same problem and I see (as I am) you’re located in the Atlanta area.
It could be a tower problem. At this time they are working on the system in preparation for the LTE rollout.

Cool, i'm in Norcross.
Are you using it as a wifi only device also? I feel like that might have something to do with it. Weather service works perfectly fine on my HTC Amaze, I don't have a data plan on that either just wifi

Yes I have a wifi only Flyer tethered to my EVO. The EVO is reporting the proper location. Somehow that tower info is not being passed on to the Flyer.
If I drive a few miles and hit another tower it works.
Edit: The location service only uses the tower info … probably set up that way as some phones don’t have gps
Very much like the Att Note. Have a rooted N1 on TMO with a few months left and very use to gmail calendar. Have searched and see a little on it. I don't seem to like it as much as my google calendar, but maybe just practice. Try to play with one whenever i get by a store. Dl speeds seem to be fine at about 5mb. Don't know if Dayton Ohio is 42+ area. I want the Att one for future LTE. I agree with others if rooted real world speeds not much different from n7000. I know there is a hack for tmo, but will probably not stay with them. Coverage in my important areas seem spotty on the N1. Not sure if tmo or my N1, which never seemed to have good signal strength anyway. Att seems more solid on there 4g coverage.
Question at the moment:
Has any one pushed the google cal apk's to Note and have your standard Android Google Calendar UI with it. The posts I saw, mentioned just to sign in to acct and sync and calendar will be there. I think they are just talking about data not the google cal UI. The main problem I had on demo phone was unresponsive screen when tapping on days within the weeks screen to add appt. Sometimes it didn't register. May be because it's a demo. I think the touch screen is my biggest complaint. If it is responsive, I may get to like the stock calendar. It has some nice features.
Will keep an eye out on TMO 4g hack. I will root phone but not sure about flashing roms. Been doing that for two years and getting burned out. Unless Jelly Bean comes out for smartphones and not just tablets like Honeycomb and is very appealing.

Watched a short video on calendar and saw the quick add feature demo'd and the slide to move appt--very nice and no lag seen. May be just my newness on the app. Am going to demo it as much as I can. Watching other videos on it gets me wanting to just buy it--
Would like to see more Speed Tests on TMO in 4g areas--not LTE. I could go TMO and just flash att modem back when ready to move to att. Doubt it will matter to att if unlocked and rooted. Didn't matter when I brought N1 from Cincy Bell to TMO.
One nice thing on S pen I didn't think about is less smudges. Hot Wings and touchscreens don't play well together--
It looks like I am going to be swapping out my one x+
Any one else have these isses?
-GPS jumps around and doesn't lock on at all sometimes. My phone tells me I am in vegas, when I am in los angeles
-Wifi needs to be restarted 1-2 times a day. I am connected to my router, but cannot access the internet

Nah, sounds like you have a lemon. I've been on GPS non-stop since I got here to San Diego, and it works perfectly every time. The wifi is also rock solid in my hotel.
Have you tried a factory reset to see if changes anything?

yeah I did a reset.
I did some research and it seems the GPS issue could be related to my router and google thinking the MAC is in a different location. When the phone is off wifi, the GPS seems to work fine.
I am not sure what is up with the wifi though.
I've had mine since Friday with none of those issues..good luck..just take it back and swap it for a new one .

No issues at all. Been flawless....
I have noticed everything is improved over the One X. Voice quality, speed, etc. I can tell project butter is in play as I have a Galaxy Nexus (gsm) and notice similarities.
Wifi can be a router setting issue. The local thing I did notice with some older HTC devices. Make sure you have all the GPS setting turned on and restart the phone outside. If it keeps doing this I would simply exchange.
Problem here too
My husband and I got two HTC One X+'s last Saturday. - Same problem. With certain location settings, we are sent to Chantilly, VA (to an AT&T store location, I believe). We live 450 miles away in NC.
One scenario: If we uncheck the 3rd Location option in settings (google search..) and keep the first two checked. If we leave the phone sitting for a little while, google maps will come up at our location, then it swings up to Chantilly, VA and stays there for 3-5 seconds, and then swings back down to us in NC.
If we also check the 3rd Location option in settings, it will stay in Virginia.
On Tuesday, I called HTC Support 4 times, trying to figure this out. I've done a factory reset.
Since it looks like it's going to an AT&T center, we've wondered if the phones were sitting there for a while, generating entries in the Google database? Any possibility that the phone also has some sort of internal database?
I'll probably call HTC again tomorrow and I'm at the point where I can have this escalated to a developer. Depending on the answers, I may go to the AT&T store, -- have them open another phone (if they have some in stock) and see how Maps behaves out of the box.

UPDATE: We made a trip yesterday, 1.5 hours away. The GPS and cell location services worked fine! It was not until we got within range of our cell phone tower, just up the street from us, or within range of our wireless, that the phone thought it was back in Chantilly, VA. Turning GPS on fixed this.
I don't think there's anything wrong with our router or cell tower -- my old Galaxy phone has no trouble at all with location. Ditto for my Nexus 7 tablet.
We've left GPS on, and it's looking like the phone is slowly learning that our router and cell phone tower are not located at the AT&T store in Chantilly. It definitely looks like traveling around with the phone helped to give it more info about where we are.
It seems like maybe the original image put on the phone inadvertently had location info? Or there's some sort of internal database with location info that doesn't get wiped when you do a factory reset? HTC is going to be running into some problems with this -- I can't believe that we have the only phones with this problem to overcome.
Does anyone know more about how location services are handled?

Location is once again stuck in VA. Spoke to HTC earlier today, terrible support person, trying again.
Called HTC support again last night. The person said that this was a known issue and a fix will be getting sent out at some point. - Though there is a possibility that she was just trying to get rid of me. Whatever I asked, she just said yes.
I'd love to hear from other folks who feel that the HOX+ is working flawlessly for them. No problems at all? Thanks!

Whenever I am on LTE, the GPS works flawlessly. I determined I only have problems on wifi networks.
most android GPS has some dependencies on the interwebs. Time to acquire fix depends quite a bit on having the right time (meaning NTP). So if you just walked into a starbucks and picked up wifi but havent completed negotiating yet, GPS may be making an NTP query that will stall. That sort of thing. There are quite a few silly little situations that can make for long fix times.
For what it's worth, the HOX+ has pretty fantastic GPS on the whole. I threw on GPS for giggles, and got a fix in 4 seconds as measured by the app ("GPS Status on the market has a "time to fix" option). Initial error was 10m and quickly went down to 5m or so. I'm on the bottom story of a 2 story house with an attic, and not near a window. Compared to my old HTC Inspire (American Desire HD), it's fairly insane. This is through 100 year old wood and nails with zero line of sight to the sky, and a neighbor living above me. So if your GPS is skipping around in standard car/travel GPS situations, there may be another issue.
