You have to put a location manually in weather settings.
If not, GPS must be activated.
I use WeatherBug and unless you have saved locations for it to use it has no idea where you are to give you accurate reports.

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!
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?

errr, settings for what? maps?
Alright this has been bugging me for a bit... How do I get apps to ask my permission before accessing my location (like on the iPhone). I have GPS on because I have the lookout security installed. And whenever I check facebook my GPS turns on and facebook tracks my location. Its not just facebook, its any app that supports location service. This will also benifit my battery. Any ideas? I have been searching Google and no luck there.

I was wondering if there is a way to disable HTC locations and use google as the geocoder for the stock clock/weather widget?
Use an app like LBE privacy guard to handle permissions.
You can delete the HTC Locations app and use GPS or WiFi location for the sense clock widget I believe.
Also you will want to uninstall the HTC Car stuff like automotive traffic and things like street view app. I know in the past I've uninstalled a butt load of the location type apps and still had the clock working but you may have to play around a bit. Use titanium backup and freeze the apps until you find out the combo you have to have, that way if you freeze something you actually need you can defrost it until you find the perfect setup for your usage, then test it and then remove it completely.

Dude your thread is called Location Privacy.
There's an app called Location Privacy that does exactly what you're looking for. It's published by PlaceMask and it's available on the Android Market.
The free trial version is good for 15 days. If you're still not sure whether it's worth $2.99 (you cheap bastard) you can re-install it--or you can perform a meta-reset...
Code:
HOME > MENU > Manage Apps > Select Placemask > Clear Data
...which is also a great way to turn off multiple alarms all at once. Use the alarm app's RESTORE function to turn them all back on without having to check a box next to every single one.
Anyway, back to Location Privacy:
Scans applications on your device and reports those using your location
Easy unmasking when you need to use real location (e.g. simply tap the PlaceMask to start and stop)
Remote control through SMS allows remote start and stop (useful with phone finders)
Provides replacement locations for your real location to enhance privacy
There are several apps--many of them free--that perform similar functions:
Location MockUp - Fake & Share
Fake GPS location
CatchMeIfUCan
GPSCheat! - Free
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.

I have the same problem with the location. Hope that this problem will be solve soon.
Have this problem too.
Can anyone suggest a simple app, for rooted, to set the date and time? Something similar to the the option you normally find in the Settings.

I con't post links but search on Google Play for ClockSync by Sergey Baranov. It was really good back when I had my Nexus S.
Thanks. I've actually had a look before on this one, but it can't be used to manually set the date/time. Only automatically after getting the info from the internet.
