Hi!
I just got my HD2 last week and flashed it with standard energy 21908 july 8th version.
Not sure if this is related to this rom or just a general problem.
My weather won´t auto update unless I go to the weather tab when it will instantly update.
This started when I disabled "my location" and manually set my location.
Have tried different time intervalls, but always the same thing.
The reason why I didn´t want to use "my location" is beacuse it always left the data connection open even though I set it to disconnect after 20sec with bandswitch or Advanced config.
So a soulution to either problem would help...
The GPS on my un-rooted Vibrant has been working quite well since the JI6 update. That update changed several of the dialer-accessed settings, and I haven't messed with any of them since the phone was finally working. I also didn't do the GPS Restore app because I figured why try to fix something that's not broken.
However, today, for the first time in two months, I couldn't get any locks. The GPS found a dozen satellites and showed normal signal strengths (25-40%) for the majority of them, but it kept losing and finding them, and got no locks. When I tried using Google Maps, it thought I was around Las Vegas (I'm in the Pacific NW), and the accuracy circle was probably 500 miles.
I rebooted the phone, but that didn't help. Then I decided to go into the GPS settings and found that there were two changes that I hadn't made: the Server FQDN type had switched from Auto Config to Custom, and the Server had switched from "h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gpp" (which first appeared with JI6) to "www.spirent-lcs.com." I changed back to Auto Config, but didn't change the server, and re-booted. Then I went to the GPS Test app again and got a lock on 7 of 11 satellites in about 20 seconds with 20' accuracy.
Finally, I went back into the GPS settings: it was still set to Auto Config, but the Server had mysteriously switched back to "h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gpp."
I had assumed that once I made a change to the GPS settings they stayed thay way unless I went back in to modify them, or I installed an update or the Samsung GPS Restore app. So, was this just some weird hiccup where my phone reverted to some old settings on its own, or what? I'm also curious to know what info is stored in the GPS Data Cache (which I've never cleared since I've had the phone)...in particular, could this be the source of the switched Server settings?
This is very odd however you'd get better help in Vibrant section tbh.
Seems like this was a problem for many people regardless of the configuration of their phone. Check out this thread:

All of a sudden today, when unlocking my phone, I've seen this message pop up on the home screen for like 2 seconds. I figured it was just a random fluke and powered down but then when I went to click on refreshing my weather widget which is always set to the same zip code, it happened again. This widget is set to manual refresh, I have to click it to get an updated forecast. Then it happened again a few minutes later after simply unlocking the screen like it was doing earlier.
I've had Network Location services for wifi and gps turned off for a good 3 weeks or so. I only activate those on an as-needed basis. I don't use any apps that acquire my location (weather, facebook, etc.) I have the bear minimum apps running in 'Running Services' and I'm running the configuration in my sig (UnNamed, Entropy's DD, ICScrewd Theme). Any ideas what's going on?
does it happen every time you refresh the weather widget?
if it does I would try a different widget, just to see whether it goes away.
I just had GMail do this to me this morning (when I tried to refresh - I have that set to manual). I turned on location services (wifi and GPS) and let it get my location, then turned them back off. That seemed to take care of it. Might be a cookie based kind of thing - I loaded a new ROM yesterday and hadn't let it get a lock yet.
I just remembered that I updated Google Maps yesterday via the Market. I think that's the culprit. I can't see any setting though which I can change to disable automatic updating. I've gotten this message now like 3 times this morning.
Ive temporarily turned on Location Services for wifi/GPS but I prefer them off as I get much better battery life with them disabled.

This seems to be happening to me more and more. Cannot pinpoint the culprit.
is this still an issue for anyone? It certainly is for me
HTC Weather App is Unable to Detect My Current Location. I have turned WiFi on, GPS on, and all areas where detecting or sharing my location is turned on. It was working fine then the widget became locked on a location and would not change with my current location no matter what I done. I could turn the phone off and back on this would fix the issue for a little bit. Then the widget would either lock onto a location and refuse to change or it would display Current Location instead of my real location but the weather would not be correct. I would then try to refresh the weather and a grey bubble would appear and have the text Unable to Detect My Current Location. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am on the Wildshooter ROM but this issue has happened with every rom I have tried including the stock Rom. I also tried the Accuweather App and had the same issue. Is there a way to change the weather server for HTC's weather app?
I tried searching for a fix and everything I found nothing worked.
Here is a pic of what the weather application and widget is doing.
try setting "allow mock locations", maybe that would help? look in:
menu/settings/applications/development/
Man this problem bugged me for a good while. Here what I did and hopefully it will help you. Turn on wifi and try to update weather. Then turn off wifi. Then turn on mobile internet and also make sure to enable always on mobile in settings as well. Then try to update weather and it should find your location.

Enabling Background Data
I noticed that when Background Data is not enabled, some apps don't sync. Making sure it's enabled may help. It's found under Settings > Accounts & sync > Background data.
Thanks for both of the suggestions but neither worked for me. Still stuck on current location.
Did you turn off wif completely and only enable mobile data???

yes. I even went into manage apps and cleared the data to the HTC weather sync provider. Nothing seems to work. I really dont want to get rid of the weather and clock widget but the weather is worthless. My city is not located in the location either. I was hoping that the current location feature would work as it was intended. I wonder if there would be a way to change weather providers and use google or weather.com or something like that.
I know gps works because google maps shows my location.
Anymore suggestions?............
Try this
Get rid of the weather widget on your home screen if you have one there. Then
clear the data once again on the weather app & the weather widget app in settings. Then turn off mobile data,back ground data,gps,location by wireless network and disable/uncheck always-on mobile data as well. Then boot into recovery and wipe cache & davlik cache. After you've rebooted back into your rom turn on gps, "leave location by wireless network unchecked" then turn on mobile data,background data and enable/check always-on mobile data. Then open up your app drawer and tap on the weather app and press menu then select add/+. Then put in your location. After it brings up your location then select it. The app should go black then just press menu then refresh. Then back out of the app until you see your home screen. Then add the widget back to your home screen and see if it displays your weather location. I hope it does. If not then go back to accounts & sync and select weather and sync it. Then check to see if it helped the issue. Also have you checked to make sure your under sprint only and not automatic in the mobile network settings???

Ok I followed these instructions to the T and the end result is t still didn't correct my issue. After I rebot my phone it fixes the issue for a few mins and then it screws up and get stuck on current location. I am at a loss for words. I have read several other places on the internet with other people with HTC phones having this same issue but there were no fixes. It seems like there is an issue with the GPS communitating with the weather app. IDK and IDK how to fix it! Still open to suggestions................. Thanks to everyone who is trying to help me.
Ok I finally broke down and called HTC the rep advised me that this is a known issue that is a problem on all HTC devices. He said that a fix for this is most likely going to be rolled out in the next few weeks. He said there were some other issues that will be corrected in the next update. He said not to worry that also in the next few weeks ICS will start to slowly roll out to our phones and the issue is corrected on this as well.
Sorry to bring up an old thread.
I have a similar issue where my location on the weather app is shown as United Kingdom. It use to work fine until I messed with the radios, could be just coincidence though.
Anyone know a fix ?
thanks
edit.. should mention it's been the same on my last 2 different roms.
Did you try any of the tips here ???

Found this after having similar problem with HTC weather. On HTC one S, running ICS and the weather occasionally cannot find my location so just returns "Null" location and "01. Partly cloudy" weather.
Noticed because am using live wallpaper. This runs for 10ish secs before freezing, which I believe is normal, but also rarely animates. It does not run if phone unlocked, or when weather is updated, or when returning to home screen. Beautiful, but useless it seems!
I wish there was a fix for this.
My location will never detect properly. I live in a city in the stix, so my city wont showup in the settings of weather thing, is there a way i could get my zip code in it even if it doesnt show up in the list of cities?
Hi all.
I just got mine working after going to Settings/Location/Google Location Reporting and turned it off. Now displaying my area.
Hope this helps.
Device x920d
On Desire s i had same problem and resolve it.
I just untick fast boot in power menu,turn off/on phone and location get back fine.
Had GPS issues but found it was "first find" issue so got plenty of sats and good location and lock after 10 mmin wait. Done with no WiFi, outside. Also done within range of Wifi.
My issue is that when I bring it inside and loose the GPS as expected indoors it goes from my current location on Maps to some where in Illinois 2000 miles away. Thought it may be a Wifi location issue but other devices I have that locate by WiFi show correct location. Tried clearing cache, cold start, rebooting, reloading Maps (although not sure if it is a true reload as it does not disappear after selecting uninstall but does ask to install) same issue. Search could not find similar problem.
This issue then causes any app that uses location like weather to give the data for somewhere else.
Seems like it should remember where it was or at least not go immediately some where else. Should it not locate by Wifi too? I'm wondering why it goes to this location too. Was this a returned unit?
Thanks
