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.
When I first got my phone it used to detect which village I was in not just the city. I had to do a factory reset and now it's stopped detecting the villages. Why? and can I get it back? If so how?
Please help.
Maybe because of the time-bug.

enable htc location services on your phone
All the location bits are enabled and as far as I know and can tell all are working the way they should.
ive put on this fix but my weather is still only showing the city and not the village like it used too.
open up quickgps and update satellite position
ive done that as well but nothing seems to be working.

i too was having this problem till today and now it sort of seems to be solved:
at this point i have done everything (just like you) mentioned in the thread. my weather panel shows my location as my state rather than my city!
case 1:
i further opened up the clock (by tapping on the flip clock on the home tab) and saw only 1 clock. it was called 'my location' and had everything set up correctly. my current location is mumbai. so i explicitly added another clock (mumbai) by doing add city. now i have two clocks - 'my location' and 'mumbai'. but the interesting thing is that the second clock (mumbai) has a local written in brackets next to it. it seems that HERE the phone detected mumbai as my local city. now when i do a weather update i get 2 updates - one for each of my clocks (both sets of information are identical because both locations are identical!). and since my mumbai clock is selected as primary, i also see mumbai on the flip clock as my location (and i suppose the corresponding weather data, i really cant differentiate).
case 2:
when i have only one clock 'my location', and i do a weather update, the weather panel updates the 'my location' tag to my state's name which (given the size of my state) is of no help at all. this, however, did not happen in the case described above. the 'my location' remained the same.
i wonder if the first method solves your problem. its not really any solution at all. its stupid that the phone should detect my location in the clock program but not on the weather update panel. also i tested gps reception while all this was going on. i had google maps running in the back with 6-8 satellites locked when i did my weather updates in both cases. that didnt help. plus, like i said before as well, i had htc locaton services enabled and updated satellite data via google maps.
its one of those things that i really cant figure out and so have stopped bothering. where i live, the weather hardly changes anyway...
Hi,
same probleme here....
It only tells me the State, not the Village
nothing helps.....
HTC Support told me to flash and reset the device twice (HaHa Ive done this before)
Ive had this problem for a few months now, constant emails to HTC gets either there is no known problem or we are currently working to resolve the issue. Like they will actually care now wp7 is out.
Its a joke, first of all the weather stopped working an now the clock doesnt work as it should, slowly but surly things are stopping functioning correctly, wheres my old nokia 6680.
Rant over.
yeah see my problem wit the reset is that seems to have been when my problem started. i have the 2 clocks and the two weather pages but both say peterborough (city) when one used to say peterborough and the other used to change and say yaxley (village)
The issue with my location showing only state weather instead of village weather started with the winter time change bug.
The patch posted above ( see link ) solved the time problem but not the weather location problem. In another thread it was said HTC will issue a fix in one week, but this is now 4 weeks ago and still no patch issued.
If they don't solve this problem this was my last HTC. phone .........
Same problem for me in Italy with hd2. It's one week that the service doesn't work. It shows me Lombardia (region) instead Milano (city)...

ho notato che dipende dalla località dove ti trovi. Dove abito funziona, ma in alcuni paesi mi esce scritto 'italy' come location!
Ma già da qualche tempo...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that depends on the location where you are. Where I live it works, but in some countries I get says 'Italy' as a location!
But for some time ...
HTC Support now told me to took a Video with a camera, whowing the Problem on HD2 (also wan't a Video from my Reset Operation )
What are they thinking, I'm so stupid that I can't to a reset on my HD2?
now one week after uploading the video no response from support. I wrote them again yesterday, maybe they'll answer this week....
Hi Everyone,
im wondering why in the most roms - the accuracy (resolution / depth) of MyLocation service quite low is. I mean - not in google maps (this works perfect), but in the Weather Application. The Weather application could detect only city 50km far away from my home town. But I have tried around 2 or 3 roms, where was the city detection outstanding! Not only my home town has been detected, but it could detect also very small villages while traveling... Unfortunately I was not satisfied with these ROMs and would like to modify my current ROM (TaKo 5.6).
Does anybody know, how to increase or set the depth / accuracy level of MyLocation service respectively the Weather app?
Of course, when I modify the weather database and add my hometown - it works. But I would like to let the phone to autodetect my location.
Any Ideas? Maby rewriting some manila file from the other roms?
Thx for help and sorry for long post
more info
I've been dooing some tests recently while I was for few days in Germany and myLocation was working perfect. I was able to detect even small villages and download weather. As soon as I returned home to Czech Republic I'm only able to detect nearest city 50km away... any ideas?
It is not your phone. It is all based on if there is a location beacon brodcasting that are you are in. otherwise the phone will pick the closest it can find. Where I live it can pick up the one down the road at the school. But where I work it only list the county. It cannot find the city. Also i do believe you have to have your weather set to download when roaming to get locations other then your home.
maybe it is also issue of your mobile operator - I tried one android ROM on orange sim card which detects even parts of town. And in my ROM with O2 i can only get that I am in Slovakia
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:

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.
My main HTC 4x2 clock/weather widget does not seem to update the location properly. I'm not sure exactly the circumstances but sometimes I look down and it says "Current location" instead of the city I'm in, and the temperature is most certainly wrong (shows 84, when right now here in the Houston area it's about 56). I have the "Update my location in real time" setting checked, so not sure if it's a setting or what.
Anyone else seen similar issues or have any idea how to fix it?
Also I noticed turning off wifi helped, in that it updated to the proper weather, but still didn't change the city name and just says "Current location"
Same here. frustrating. Anyone figure this one out?
i just noticed that today as well, i manually set the city location on one of my apps and the rest corrected themselves. It's not just the HTC weather widget, it's all the location detection on the phone without using GPS
Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm in the St Louis, MO area and when the wifi is on it's continually showing Las Vegas, NV Odd If I turn wifi off and use GPS then it's always correct.

Not sure if this will work for you because I have the tmobile one s, but I think I have the answer, I turned of fast boot under power settings and when I rebooted, it had the correct location. This is the first time since I have had the phone.
I have the same problem with X920e (China version). Location is ok but weather is wrong. It also shows it being sunny at midnight
Only Google can fix it!
There is absolutely nothing that we can do to fix this, I live in Simi Valley, Ca. When I am connected to my work wifi, my phone thinks that I am in Cisco, Tx. The reason for this is somewhere along the line Google has decided that the router that I am connected to is in Cisco, so every time that it pings the router for my location that is where it thinks that I am. Turning off wifi and using GPS or Cellular Triangulation will make it correct every time. The only way for this to be fixed is for Google to update their router based locations.
