Has anyone had a problem with the HTC Weather Widget not showing the correct location?
Mine used to work quite well (updating to different location as I moved around) and all of a sudden it got "stuck". Now it just shows one particular town no matter where I am.
I tried removing and re-adding the widget, turning on GPS, rebooting, updating roaming towers, etc and nothing seems to work. I did some googling and other people have reported it with the Incredible and a couple other HTC devices but no real solution. I am running the Virtous Rom but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Anybody have any ideas?
Does it say 1/2 or 1/1?
If it says 1/2 or 2/2 then swype up and down and it changes locations.

Ah no i mean the "current" location that is suppose to be automatically selected based on what I guess is the local cell towers.
Basically the one that is 1/2.
Had that and fixed it
I had it happen seemingly by itself until I realized I had been messing with a few things to try to max battery life. Tap the weather, go to it's menu, hit settings and see if update automaticlly is checked. If not then check it and back up and hit settings again and see if it unchecked itself cause thats what mine did. If so then you must go to phone's settings, accounts and sync, turn on background data, auto sync, and weather. All fixed. Check Your update interval and make sure it is often enough as well. Hope it helps.
Been looking everywhere on how to fix this, Finally got the right answer, big thanks to madman34
Random
I'm glad you found a fix. I do notice sometimes (a couple times since I bought my DInc) that I get random weather locations like, Japan. This is probably more of a network/gps error and not the actual weather app itself.

Like the title says.
I've got background sync enabled, I've set the news feed to update every hour and I've got wi-fi enabled, but I get no updates unless I hit the refresh button.
Any idea what might be the problem here?
Mine dont either mate and it puts them in the wrong order
same problem here
Same here.
Same issue here.
Same here.
Same problem here with the addition that even after a manual update by clicking the bottom of the widget, the widget is still showing me the old reports and not the newly fetched ones... until I click on top to go further into a more expanded view.
Another query to this I've been researching is if there is any way to set the number of days to keep the old reports showing?
It becomes a mess very quickly like this.

i have the same issue, is there anybody with a solutio?
it must be issue with Sense's HTC News app...
Doesn't seem to be a fix for it, whereas the failure of scheduled updates in Friendstream can be fixed by re-entering the desired auto-update regime.
Annoying, but made me look for other options, found Newsroom which is awesome (although dedicated Google Reader users should probably look elsewhere until an update adds that funcationality).
had this problem yesterday and it has come back.
Everywhere is either sunny or clear.
Temperature at default location is different than if I set that location as an addition.
It doesn't seem to update - last night it was telling me it was sunny at midnight. Doesn't update even when manually synced.
Have checked all obvious sync issues in menus - and location is set, etc.
Have closed app, have cleared caches
Have factory reset - problem recurs.
Any thoughts? Conflict with another app? I haven't downloaded anything that (explicitly) syncs though, apart from the Maps update.
I've also had problems with Weather syncing. Again, the added locations update fine but for the "where I am" part there is no weather display. This is intermittent but it doesn't seem to be related to the location.
Might it be connection problems? i.e. the Desire can't tell where it is? If it gets two mast lock-ons rather than three, it might compromise location update?
Perhaps, but odd it used to work at home and now doesn't and odd it gives two different reports on the weather at the same place?
I am going to wait and see if it sorts itself, somehow, and then consider a return as it really narks me that it doesn't work.
I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms as described by al89nut.
What apps have you installed Entropy? If a conflict, perhaps we can narrow it by seeing what we have in common?
Can someone whose Desire works try something?
Add where you are to the weather widget (so you are in Southampton, add Southampton) and tell me if it gives exactly the same temperature and the same weather forecast for the future as the homescreen (inc temps)

Well sometimes it does coincide but most of the time it shows either "unavailable" or the sun instead of the moon or weird temperatures.

The only ones we share are Astro, Docs to Go and Goggles, plus possibly currency convertor if XE.
For me this all started when I could only connect as a disk drive and as not charge only, so eventually I went for a factory reset. I am fairly sure it worked 100% before that, but some of the apps were loaded shortly before.
I have just tried removing the widget (HTC clock) from the homescreen and re-installing it on another. And setting the news to sync automatically. Who knows?
EDIT Nope
Current = 57% and clear
Added same location= 52% and partly cloudy.
At least it isn't sunny at night
EDIT 2
manual update and they agree - first time. Maybe sorted by reinstalling widget
Now the effing thing tells me I am currently in a town 10 miles away.
I am getting roundly sick of this buggy piece of **** phone
So it's most certainly not the other apps. I just wonder why not many more people seem to be experiencing this bug.
I have a weird problem with the weather,
I dont auto update the weather but i do it manually when I wake up, i noticed something interesting, not sure wither its real or just my imagination
At morning i sync it (Home WiFi) it shows the Sun, and then i go work and i dont come back till late noon, i get back, take a shower watch some TV and then play with my desire again (by that time it is around 7:00 PM)
when i see it, i see the same temperature (cuz i didnt sync it since morning) but I dont see the Sun, ... i see the moon! and I didnt connect to WiFi except in the morning.
Anyone have this? is it a feature that checks the time of the day and shows Moon or Sun? or is it just the phone syncing offline? lol
The daytime default is to show the full sun, eg if it can't grab data for whatever reason). Guess at night it is the moon. So if mine can't update, it says it is sunny everywhere. But sometimes it is sunny at night.
I now think it is a signal lock issue.
I have the same problem, i travel a lot for my work and when i am in an other area it will show no weather for it and it will not auto update.
I did notice that if you update manually once, the checkbox "update automatically" will be unchecked. So obviously it will not autoupdate.

That doesn't happen for me -you mean the icon on the weather widget, the little circle on the left hand side? If I hit that, update and then check in application, sync is still enabled.
I'm wondering if I have found the cause of the notorious problem with the system server taking up 100% of the CPU at bootup. It seems to correlate with gmail accounts, or exchange accounts syncing at bootup.
To try and figure out what what causing the problem I started with a fresh install of FRX03 (using the latest kernel, 1253) and slowly added back my programs and settings, rebooting as I added things. Only after configuring my gmail account for the first time did I experience the lag. I then changed my gmail to not sync anything and the lag issue went away. I then added my exchange account and the lag issue came back.
After configuring my exchange account to sync on a schedule instead of push mode I've been able to reboot five times with absolutely no lag. I did experience the lag isue one time, but prior to changing my account settings I had to reboot four or fives times just to get the phone working.
For anyone having the issue, please try disabling sync on your exchange and gmail and let me know the results.

I don't use gmail, so i don't sync it. I use hotmail and it syncs everything 15 minutes. I experience lag for about 1 min after booting and after that it works just fine.
Hrm, never heard a theory that it's based on GSync.
I think it's related to netloc - I've heard when GSM guys disable it, the bug all but goes away.
CDMA, unfortunately netloc doesn't work... so it's always off for me, and I definitely experience the bug.
Calling voicemail always clears it up for me.
Some have said opening Google Maps/Places fixes it too, but it doesn't for me - I'm wondering if it's GSM guys that is working for... I'd bet my left kidney.
The calling voicemail trick works for me too, but sometimes the phone is so hosed that my phone dialer crashes and I have to reset. I'll report back the next time I have time to reboot.
And just like that I'm experiencing the problem again.
*facepalm*
Oh well!

netloc = network location?
I cleared the data for network location in application settings and then rebooted and the problem didn't happen so maybe that is it. I keep doing that regularly and see if it continues to work.

For me the Google maps trick works.. takes longer then calling voicemail tho, cause it's a drag to navigate to google maps when everything is in slowmotion, and all I want is fastforward...
Takes a couple of times before it finds my location btw, first few clicks say location not available. But voicemail always does the trick
vmail does the trick
usually when it boots up into No Service, i wait for the 3g signal to come in before dialing. actually put a direct contact just for dialing hahaha

Are you on GSM?
I have this issue again with top showing system_server is constantly consuming around 50% CPU, this coupled with user CPU processes leaves my CPU pegged above 95%. As a result my phone is terribly slow and batt drains fast. I'm on Android stock unrooted 6.01 with a Galaxy note 4.

Hi guys.
My HTC One X stopped updating locations in the HTC weather widget even though it is checked in the menu and there is WIFI connection.
Any Ideas guys?
Google location services must also be turned for that.
Nop... That's on as well
Don't worry about it just yet. The HTC locations service misbehaves sometimes. It might come back.
If you wanted to, you could clear the data from the weather and location service apps and reboot and see if it starts working after a while.
Are you having this issue at the time i am writing this?

Yeah... i asked this because i was having this issue since yesterday but it seems to be working fine since last 3-4 hours.
Thanks guys,
I'll try it know... It just bothers a bit when it doesn't update...
Hi,
I seem to have the same or a similar problem. If I keep GPS turned off then my location gets reported correctly on the weather widget. However, if I turn on GPS for locations then it gets messed up and changes to "Current location".
The only way to get it to recover is to stop the HTC Locations service and clear its data. Then reboot the phone.
This is a real pain as I use the GPS quite a lot for mapping etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this happening in the first place?
Thanks.

Chk thi out buddy..mit work for u as well..worked for my HTC OneV..though location sercive still is an issue...
anyways go thru this..
1. I changed the app to home location. And of course it said home location was set until I got to the main screen where it still had an old location where I traveled to a few days earlier.
2. I took out the battery turned power back on. Still same problem.
3. Then I pressed down and held my weather clock widget on my main page and dragged it to the garbage.
4. Went to the main screen, found and empty spot and held down for the widgets to appear.
5. Scrolled to the clock widget, chose the weather clock combo again.
6. Chose my home location.
7. Looked at the main screen and WHOALA! It was working again.
8. Note that in my situation I did not have to uninstall the app.
another alternative...
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Then go to 'All' and scroll down to 'HTC Weather sync provider'.
Select 'Clear Data'.
Then Select 'Force Stop'.
Then go to your home screen and restart the weather app by tapping under the time and then update the weather. The weather should now be available on the homescreen.
Anyone else having problems with the HTC weather not syncing recently?
I've recently had trouble with using Google as the provider for Beautiful Widgets. It's fine since changing to Accuweather!

I don't suppose this will apply to yours; but I have a rooted sensation, and I decided that the "HTCLocationsWidget3d.apk" was surplus to requirement.
This is needed for the weather; upon reinstalling the file the locations updated correctly.
Hello
I am facing the same problem as ppl described here and all over the android and htc forums. None of this works for me. Or no. It works for couple of hrs, a day maybe and then again goes back to Current Location.
The interesting thing is when the weather stop to update my location, facebook wont find me also. But Sygic works fine, Google maps also. Having this in mind I can say that my GPS works fine. So the problem is in HTC/Google things.
Greetngs. Manually loaded the zip the other day for 4.1.2 on my completely stock Sprint GS3. Other than the normal "holy crap" battery consumption for the first couple of cycles and the fact that I could cook a grilled cheese sandwich on it, everything's been OK except for these two problems:
1. This was the easy one. AVG AntiVirus Pro didn't like something on the update and it was stuck WFO and draining the battery in about an hour. Interestingly simply looking for running apps in the stock applications area didn't show anything. System Panel did. I deleted the AVG, reloaded it and all is well.
2. This one's not resolved. I've Googled as well as searched XDA and can't find an answer. Short version is that regardless of what my mail settings say, it's not going out for a sync to my Gmail accounts, nor AOL (I know....) and my Exchange account isn't getting "pushes" either. I've gone through the global mail settings as well as those for each account. All set to push if possible or 15 min if not. Everything is "prime" so it's not some goofy issue with being outside of prime or roaming. Roaming has all the same settings.
I can manually hit a refresh and it works fine, but it's obviously not supposed to work that way (at least it never has).
Any thoughts? Oh...and I've done a battery pull...haven't done a hard reset but I doubt that's an answer for this.
Thanks for your help.

Aha! It seems as though the update turned off the "global" sync (on the scrolling drop down tool bar at the top of the screen). That said, it also defaulted all my sync options to "disabled".
Better now!
