I've noticed that location services doesn't work unless 3g is on. I think the phone uses it to talk to the tower to get location.

Weather is deeply connected with the world clock and the location service. So at first look if any other city in the weather tab than "my location" is updated. If not than it is an issue of your internet connection. Try both wifi and your phone data connection. If these cities are updated look if you have the location services activated.
Sometimes it is a problem caused by bad reception, so the actual location can not be updated.
Another possibility is CHTS. If you use profiling you should look at the settings for the weather update in every profile and activate it.
Off the bat with my phone, i have been having bad GPS connectivity issues. I would launch google navigation and get an instant lock. After a while, it would loose connection and say "searching for gps". It would never connect until i exited navigation, and turned off the gps and turned it back on. Then relaunched google nav and instant lock again. Then I also started noticing that on my htc sense clock widget, where it would show you the weather and the town in which you are in, it would only say "Current Location" no matter what I do. I went as far as resetting the phone back to factory settings which corrected the location issue at first but then it reverted back "Current Location". Any thoughts on this? If i cant figure this out, I will probably end up taking the phone back.
I had the same issue, I did prl updates and all other updates in the update software, and havent had and issue yet.

I did that too. Did not work.
Try switching your roaming mode to automatic. I was having the same problem. So far so good

Also tried that....no go
anybody else have an idea?
Does your weather widget default to Illinois, but when you try maps, it shows a true location? I switched my roaming mode, but the weather widget is still glitchy in one area here in Houston.
I didn't have the GPS issue, but I had the weather as well as roaming and update time issues. I took my phone back and got a new one today. So far so good, but it has only been 2 hours since the exchange.

Widget shows "current location" but maps pinpoints me exactly with the gps turned on.
GPS/Sprint Issue
From the time I received the phone every location based app has given me problems. Multiple attempts, varying results but mostly bad. Now been to 3 separate sprint stores, multiple phone calls and still can not get a clear resolution. I want to replace with another phone but am getting the runaround. Saying I have to get it looked at to verify an issue. This has already been done and if they do not move from the desk, how are they going to verify weak GPS to continual no connections? Will continue to escalate but strangulation is an option. I had the Evo 4g before with no issue. Does anyone have this phone with functional/reliable GPS?
Sprint store changed the phone mode to 3g only from 3g/lte setting. Gps worked and will check more later. Other gps apps are working also

Hi,
I have a little trouble with my new GS3. The weather widget is not updating. I mean when I am travelling from one place to another, the position is not updated. I have checked in the widget settings, the box which authorizes the widget to find the location is checked, in the location settings of the phone, the use cellular for position is checked.
Even when I click on the refresh button on the widget, the position is not updated.
I have to go in the widget settings click modify and click on current city then add and it finds the correct position.
Does anyone is facing this issue ?
same here

Enabling gps does not fix the issue.
Neither rebooting it.

I have noticed something. When I open the clock app, and go to desktop clock, it updates the location even on the widget.
I know it is a really minor issue, but I can't stand something which is not working properly.
Tried something simple?
Tap widget > menu > settings > check / enable current location and auto refresh

I have tried that ;-)
Removing the widget and putting it back worked for me

Same problem here. GPS/cellular enabled, and there's no point in auto-refresh if I have to manually remove/re-add widget every time.
What I don't understand is that the opening of the desktop clock is updating the location.
For me the weather is well updating on the location the widget is set but not the position.
And for those whom their widget is working properly, the location is well updated ?
Same problem here
Hi,
I too have been having this problem. Most annoying!! However, I have found a solution. If you put the weather on the lock screen then the widget updates no problems...just as it should.

I have the problem that when I'm not home (so not on my wifi) the lockscreen updates weather (temp + location) fine. But when I'm in my house, and my wifi is connected ... it doesn't update anymore. I have to remove weather from lockscreen and start it again.
Anyone any idea ?
GPS is off .. since I use cellular (which works for the rest)
Mine does it to. It doesn't matter which weather widget I use either. The only way I have found to fix it is either restart the device, or restart the launcher. Both solve the problem. But it's annoying to have to do so.
Same here noticed it didn't even update weather when connected to wifi.
me too here, but i add another few place i always been, it will keep refresh the weather.

Check post #3.
It is activated briefly at time of update (sync schedule, every one hour for me on my settings)
Also data or wifi need to be on at the time schedule is due to sync. If not, no sync = no update

activated briefly you say --> you mean the GPS ?
so why wouldn't it update then when I'm on my wifi.
situation: at home --> wifi connected .. no update
everywhere else --> wifi on (not connected), connected with 3G ..update fine
I have caught it happening a couple times now, seemingly at random.
I am not running Maps, or any other app that needs GPS... I hit the power button to wake the phone, swipe to unlock, and notice the GPS icon in the notifications.
Taping the notification just takes you to GPS location settings. Checking battery use shows no apps running that need GPS. No other direct indications that I have found in settings as to what is polling the GPS.
Anyone know what app/service is opening it in the background?
The weather clock updates itself when you unlock causing gps to hit for a couple seconds.
I checked that first... the "last updated" message said a couple hours prior. (I have it set to update every 3 hours) So I ruled that out. But I guess I could be wrong.
Seems to me, using GPS is a bit of overkill for weather location.

How else does it figure out what city you are in at any given time?

Network location service...
It can tell where you are by knowing what cell tower you are connected to... as it knows the cell towers physical location due to a database.
This is actually how the GPS in our phones can lock on to positions in seconds rather than a couple minutes.
Cell phones have aGPS (Assisted GPS) where the cell tower info is used to get a rough position fix and speed up GPS lock.

VZW location services (network location services) could be used, but it isn't for weather. Which is why I asked my question...

Most apps that use location can use network location services... including weather apps... though maybe not the Samsung app. Which is why I am curious as to why it uses GPS vs network.
I never have the "Verizon location services" turned on, never have on other phones either, and other apps can use network location just fine... as "Google location services" can provide that.
Google Now checks when I'm away from home and tells me how long it takes to get back with traffic, probably using the GPS. Have you activated Google Now?
I've noticed this as well. It's not every time I unlock but I will see it come up randomly. I think it's the weather for my clock widget. I'm not too worried though since my battery life has always been fantastic.
No Google Now...
If its the weather... seems silly to use GPS over network location.
At home on wifi, my location is accurate. When I go to work in Danbury, CT, my location seems to vary. Sometimes it is showing Vancouver, sometimes Utah etc. Not even close. I've found this to be the case in Sense, Maps and Google Now.
If I get a GPS lock, the location will correct itself. When I toggle it off, the next time the phone polls for location it will revert out west. This has become very frustrating.
I've tried the updated Play Store, uninstalling/reinstalling Maps, uninstalling/reinstalling Google Search and finally a hard reset. None of the above had helped. I should also add when I leave my house I use an NFC tag to turn off my wifi, so it can't really be an errant network running a VPN.
I'm on the AT&T variant and had previously reverted to stock with the ruu. Does anyone have anything else I could try to fix this?

Thanks for replying. I was ready to RMA my device.
Just wanted to follow up and say thanks again. I disabled LTE and my location was fixed. You were spot on with your assessment. I appreciate your help.
