I've just come from the HD2 and didn't have thjis weather problem.. i've noticed that say i'm on a train, the weather is saying what area i'm in and keeps sayning no weather info available (until i tap it) even though i've turned off any weather sync (unless i tap to maualy update)
I've seen that google maps runs in the background all the time, is it that that is updating my location?
i've turned off latitude btw
baffling me
i dont want anything updating my location unless i do so manualy so just cant get my nut around what is telling the weather where i am
I know this sounds basic, but you do have location unselected in your settings don't you?

I'm looking for a simple, stable, free weather app.
All I want is the current temperature and a forecast for the next 36 hours or so.
It doesn't need to run all the time, but will preferably update fairly quickly when started. Nothing fancy needed. I found one that looked promising and would have been fine except that it was convinced I'm in Idaho when I'm in North Carolina.
Any suggestions?
The weather channel or Weather Bug

honestly weather app in Clock works for me
Am using weather info provided in clock just have it on my desktop and click first thing in the morning to get the feel for the upcoming day. As long as you have location and background running updates over wifi very quick over 3g not to bad.
Weather apps don't know where I am.
I don't understand why Maps and Navigation apps have no trouble figuring out my location but every weather app I try is incapable of figuring it out.
I tried News & Weather, which comes with the phone, I tried a handful of different ones from the marketplace. They either tell me they can't establish a location or they freeze while trying to.
Any ideas?
Ensure the following
I have the follow enabled on my phone and weather app inside clock works like a charm:
Wireless & networks:
Wifi and 3G
Location and Security:
Use wireless networks
Use GPS networks
Use assisted GPS
Accounts & Synch:
Background data
Honestly has not failed my yet, very simple weather app and already part of the phone.
I made my settings the same. The only thing that wasn't is that I normally have "Assisted GPS" disabled. I still cannot get weather to work.
Froyo 2.2 official release. I just rooted it today, but this has been going on for a few days now, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
Anybody have any more ideas?
Ok I use clock so try this
Click on clock click on weather even if location is wrong click on settings and set my location. If that does not work set your location manually. hopefully that works.
That worked, but I would like to know what is wrong with the locator.
Don't think you have a problem
Sometimes the Cell Tower sends erroneous info and your phone goes nuts. So you have to tell it where you are.
i use weatherbug and i also use fancy widget its great!
So I'm finally posting here to check in on this one....I've had weather widget location issues from day one on this phone. I've read that it seems to be an HTC thing...however I don't see that many in this forum complain about it really. I'm starting to wonder if maybe my phone is just exceptionally bad with this and I should try a new one.
So that said, how's everyone's widgets? I can't get a consistently accurate location with the HTC one or Fancy/BW. Sometimes they work, other times(like now) they put me in another state. All other location services seem to work and give my proper location.
I guess I'm just concerned because it seems to happen across the board, regardless of which widget. Any input is appreciated.
So long as I have data, my weather has been fine from the get-go. I don't know if it matters, but I have Google location services enabled, and Verizon and Standalone GPS disabled. (I'm not convinced that HTC is using Google location services, so that may not matter.)
Now, in HTC's weather widget, you can set up additional cities (I have current--which updates to wherever I am--plus a couple of other locations). Are you sure you're looking at the 'current' city and not a fixed location?

Yep definitely set to current city. I'm wondering now more so if I just have a bad GPS. Strange thing is I never once had the GPS lock issue that a lot of people have had, so I just chalked this up to a buggy HTC thing. But since it's happening across the board now to all widgets, has me wondering.
Hello,
I see google maps show up in the battery info stats when I haven't touched it. For example, I power off my phone in the evening, charge it and then power it back on before bed. When I wake up 7hrs later, I see google maps has used 7-8% of battery and the phone has lost 15% battery.
I have all location services turned on. I don't have any location-based weather, and I've logged into and turned off lattitude.
I do have yahoo news ticker on the home screen but as far as I know, it isn't location-aware...
Does anyone have any advice on what to try next?
google map is always running in the background , you can disable it when not in use
See if you are logged on to latitude. If yes sign out. It will save you a lot of battery life.

Yeah, I already tried that. Twice. It seems to take maps off the battery stats for 7-8hrs but it pops right back. The only apps I'd use in that time frame are:
exchange mail+ calendar
gmail + google calendar
yahoo news ticker
google music (on-device music only)
fancy widget (clock + weather). location disabled
None of those are location-aware and yet maps pops right back on the battery.

Are you seeing the same on your phone? Why would you think that it is constantly running? There must be some reason why it insists on doing some work in the background and I'm trying to figure what that is.
anyone know where I can get a the STOCK Maps app? THe one i'm using with the ROM its on keeps saying the same road name even when I drive it never changes and its very annoying.
Is anyone having issues with the Google Now notifications? On my last phone, I would get notifications for flights, and games on days my teams are playing.
one the HOX+ I have everything configured the same way, but I don't get the notifications. I only see the info if I launch google now/search.
Did you try rebooting the phone. I posted an issue I have seen that location services does not seem to activate properly all the time if you turn it off and on. If you reboot the phone it should ask to accept Google location services immediately click accept and it should work.

Were you previously on ICS? On JB certain notifications "hide" till you pull down the notification bar. Things like weather and traffic typically aren't visible at the top till you pull notifications down. But I remember when using the "massaged" Google Now app on ICS, they would appear up at the top. For a while after upgrading to JB on my Inspire I thought something was broken, but it turned out it's normal for some notifications to not be visible at the top all the time.
No idea if this describes your problem, but if you came from ICS to JB, there are a few changes to how the app operates.
I didn't know google now was available on ICS... In my case, it's always been on JB.
On my last phone, I would get a notification in the morning of the day that any sports team I configured is playing. It would say which team is playing, and what time the game in the local time zone of wherever I am...I don't get that on the HOX+ unless I open the google app
First off, I have to say thank you for this killer app, one of the best Android apps, in the history of Android itself In one click I have a theme in a few seconds, that if I did manually would take me a full frigging day to figure out, amazing.
Question though, on every theme I try it has some different weather location, no my location. I have my location permanent set in my weather app to a fixed zip code.

The problem with this is that the current weather provider we're using is terrible, and it's very difficult to change. We are working hard on switching though, and once it's done there should be no more weather issues :fingers-crossed:
need some help with that too
Yeah, I don't think you can yet. However, it works great for me.
Does it have anything to do with Location Services? The first theme I loaded up showed "location n/a" and I figured it was because I had Location Services turned off. I turned it on and it updated accordingly but now it's kind of hit or miss.
