PLease refine your problem. When does it reset?
It isn't like the other city's are still in there, but you have to swipe up or down to get the other cities?
Have you deleted London? and then it jumps back on?

If I set the city to Dublin where I live, it reverts occasionly to London. Deleting London didn't help, it came back again. It could be something I did, but I don't think so.

The only thing I can think of now is a hard reset. Maybe there wen't something wroing while setting up the rom and thus touchflow 3d. Weird problem though.
Hope, if it's touchflow 3d, they fix it soon.

Who knows what HTC has done in terms of automation... Perhaps the weather app is now tied in with your GPS location and until you get a GPS signal established it will keep reverting back to the default??
This is just me thinking out loud.

Mines working fine but then again i went in and deleted ALL he cities straight away coz they bug the heck out of me then started adding the places i wanted and visit... might be what causes it to work

I bet your right, doesnt the calender show the weather also. try getting a gps fix after re-deleting it

Hi,
Correct me if im wrong but doesnt the TP2 automatically add Your time zone (aka GMT -London) to weather? So if you add a couple of clocks say London and New York, Then the weather will add London and New York as well.
Does seem a bit silly if you cant stop it defaulting back to London for GMT though.

so can you set the home screen weather to be anywhere in the country??

Grrrr! It did it again, no reset, just normal use. I've deleted London, Paris, Tokyo and all the other places that are meant to make me think I'm part of some glamourous celb lifestyle thing. So we'll see what happens next!

Mine work just fine.try changin it at the home screen and weather panel and see if it still does the same

That's what I did. I thought it might be because the time zone is "London, Dublin, Edinburgh".
I really don't want to know that other people are having nicer weather than me

just erporting mine does not do this at all

Guys, I have problem... with city that is not in the base... any program that I tried that works fine for diamond doesn't work for TP2... touch flo just restarts when I add Durham to the base and go to touch flo weather pad it just restarts touch flo.... I tried many things...like disabling Touch flo and them editing the base... ect... but it just seems it is different with other phones( did anyone successfully added city that is not in the list?

see the wether app thread in the software section

pro2 keeps reseting to london because of igo8. just try it. change to your city, start igo8, exit it and voila, it reseted to london, except if you already have london.
bye

I had this problem too -London weather showing at the bottom of my calender Though not my preferred city. The fix I found requires a registry change. HKCU\\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.CityList. There is a default list of cities there. I simply added a accuweather compatible code for my preferred city and calender has been well behaved since.

Also happening to me... resolved it by re-arranging the city and moving my base city as #1 in the list...

just move to London chaps - problem solved

Same issue also GMT London setting . I fixed problem going to Settings/personal/phone. Select the GSM/UMTS Services tab , On that tab is Time synchronization , From there select "automatic change time zone and clock".

My Location for Sense UI is not working?

I've flashed a few different ROMs and noticed the My Location can never update to my real location. Is it because it's not supposed to work in the US?
i am having the same problem in atlanta. its never updating.
Mine was working in atlanta today, what ROM are you using? I currently have EnergyROM Leo Manilla 2.5
You need to have google maps installed, and have it zoomed in on your location. It works fine for me in Sacramento, California. It still doesn't update very frequently for weather though, so I added Sacramento to the weather tab and changed the home clock to use that instead of my current location.
And for future reference, threads like these should ideally be posted in the Rhodium Themes, Applications, and Software forum, as this doesn't have to do with ROM development, but rather with software.
im on Fusion V5.2 Sense 2.1 ATT
figured it out
there's a work around for this, what you do is you go and set your location by adding a city, then make sure it's the selected one, and that will be your default location...and it should update..
mine does not find it in big city....but it does in small town where its roaming and G connection! but it sometimes works with wifi...i have figured that part out yet!
I had problems as well Locking on into my location. I'm using a AT&T Tilt 2 but i decided to try the latest radio 4.49.25.17 and after that it locked instantly!!
As post #4 mentioned, try loading up google maps and go to your location. At first it didn't work for me either, but after using google maps, started working properly.
When you first run google maps, it asks you for permission to use the my location service. My guess is that you need to agree to that first before it'll work.

I always cook google maps in my ROM. But I have had it working without any google maps one time. Ofcourse radio does help I think. But I do have 4.49.25.17, and it did get better, but didnt do it all the time!
I can not get mine to work with my Tilt 2 and have tried everything mentioned above..
I have had the same problems with most of the Diamond Roms also with that same feature.
The only Rom that it has worked is on my Diamond running 6.1 SUN Y MANILA 2.5. Have no clue to why it works with that specific Rom and not with others.

I get that connection error when I attempt to connect using WiFi. But all the other cities get updated.
SOLVED
This worked for me...
Home page.
Select alarm (just above where is says "calendar").
Select the tab on the left "World Clock"
Set your location to your home town (this assumes you have already added it to the "weather")
It should now work.
@tsadek
That worked for me also using a TD2, Thanks
That's not fixing the problem. it's just using the city you manually entered. it's not fixing the My Location bug.
ok, perhaps "solved" was a bit ambitious.
more of a "work around" then.

Guys, that hasn't solved anything. You are just selecting your city directly and asking to have that information shown on your Home Screen. My Location on the other hand is more useful to people who travel a lot. It's supposed to lock in on whatever city you are in and display the appropriate information as per.
Hope we can have this sorted out soo.
So far the only suggestion that seems credible is to change the Radio. I'm going to try that and see if it works.
BTW, does anybody know how it zeroes in on your location (what city you are in)? Does it use GPS to do that?
I can think of only 2 ways as to how this works.
1) It get the coordinates via GPS and then sends it out to Google / Accuweather and get the appropriate city name and weather stats.
2) Figures out where you are based on your IP address.

Well duh its not working! The new 'my location' feature in the latest versions of Manila are designed to work with the newest Radios.
Flash either the radio from the:
4.49.25.05 from the TMO UK WinMo6.5 ROM
or
4.49.25.17 from the Worldwide HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM
For all Rhodium Radio info look here
You will be safe flashing either of these radios. It works just like flashing a ROM.
There we go, 'my location' problem fixed.

GPS problems in Europe

HI!!
I live in China and I was using garmin XT, which works pretty good.
now I'm in Europe with the right maps, but I can't get signal, normally I can see even more than 3 satellites but never get more than the 2 red bars in the signal indicator of Garmin, any idea? maybe some settings I need to check?.
I wrote them but I think is going to be faster here hehe, and I will be in Europe only 3 more days.
well I hope someone can help me!
cheers!!
update your quickgps but normally it should work fine if you got the correct map.
thanks!
yes is up to date, and any way even without the maps should at least get the proper signal right?
well I don't know, I'm little worry that maybe is a hardware problem,
anyone else has any idea?
cheers!!!
I am having the same issue with Garmin XT. I live in Norway and here i only get 3 satellites and no red bars.
Is this a issue with Garmin XT or my phone (Blackstone) not communicating correct with Garmin.
And, i have the quick gps updated.
paulove
mm, I just realize that is not only garmin, because I tried IGO and is the same, not enough satellites!
Hi,
you must check your time zone, if its incorrect gps wont work!
check it in windows setting and gps software setting. you must are configured in the same time zone that the country you are.
One day that problem append to me without travel. i was in paris and the winmo bug of time zone changing append, and my igo was down 2or3 satellites in view same you. After 3 day of searching i have checked time zone and it was wrong.
In iGo it was a setting for time zone in the Regional setting page be carreful of it if it wrong GPS wont work.

any other idea? please!!, becasue if is a hardware problem, I will need to change my phone, but I bought it in China and in China works, then they are not going to replace it!.
thanks in advance!
Gps Fix
I had similar problem going from Italy to Canary island and using IGO8. The fix appened, more or less casually, using Google maps : I got the position and the map. Then, when I tried again with Igo8, after a short time, i got a fix. Bye

thanks!, I didn't really want to buy a sim card hehe, but I will try your advice!

could these be Windows 6.5 bugs/quirks

After downloading Windows Mobile 6.5 on my touch pro 2, I've notice some issued that I didn't have before and I'm wondering how to fix them. The first one is that the clock is about 5 minutes slower than the real time. I assumed it set to the network, and I know people who also have T-mobile and their phones are on the correct time. I tried to manually set it, but it always returns to the wrong time. Bad for me since my phone is my watch and I'm always late anyway! Also, the HTC weather widget (the one that is right under the clock on the touch flo 3d home screen) is STUCK on New York even though I love in Orlando. When I first put 6.5 on the phone, it would always be on "my location" whatever that was, but now it's stuck on New York. I can't see any way to change this. I went into the weather app that comes on the phone and actually moved New York and set Orlando as my only location and turned the phone on and off and it's still stuck on New York... I don't care what the weather is in New York! I called T-mobile and they said it was because I needed a new SIM card (I've been using the same one since 2002 when I first signed up with Tmo). I went the store and they refused to give/sell me a new SIM card... they said they had no clue what was causing the problem, but they knew the SIM card had nothing to do with it. I also have problems when entering text on the device. Before I upgraded to 6.5, when I entered text in a field (say in the google search filed or in an e-mail message field) when I got to the end of the visible area, it automatically scrolled so I could see what I was typing. Now, when I get to the end of the field, I can still type, but it disappears beyond the realm of vision and will not scroll. I showed the people at the T-mo store and they also had no clue (but they did try to sell me a useless insurance policy). Does anyone know what to do about these issues or how to resolve them? I'd really appreciate any feedback you may have. As always, thanks )
Re: time lag
seriously i believe no one has this problem....at least for me,i never see this thing,it is always as acurate as my PC.
what rom are you using?will you try to flash another popular rom to see the difference?
Re: weather

I use the weather-localization feature to see how cold it is outside. Great to have such ability to look at your phone in the hall and know if a jacket is needed
Are you on T-Mobile? People on T-Mobile are reporting the problem.

Wrong time on HTC widget

Hey,
I've got my HOX for about 2 months now and it hasn't give me any problems until now. I've come to work in Brazil for two months and somehow the watch of the HOX doesn't seem to work properly.. Actually I believe the problem is in the HTC clock widget, since it's the one that is wrong.
I've tried any way that I've remember to solved this but nothing worked. I'm running a non rooted device (I haven't tried anything yet).
Any ideas how to solve this, because the alarm clock sometimes it works properly other times it doesn't and I really need an working alarm clock..
Thanks!
since you have moved to Brazil the clock widget is still configured for the country you previously lived in so you should remove the widget and put it again but now choose the city you live in in Brazil
hope i helped.

I've tried that and it didn't work, I think it assumes that the city I'm in now has different time zone and I can't change that... So it's always an hour late. (I could change the city but then the weather would be wrong..)
I have exactly the same problem. HTC Clock widget is one hour behind. Found any fix for that?

TP2, 2013 and time

Hi, I've noticed that after 1.1. 2013, the time on my Touch Pro 2 keeps getting messed up. For example, it's 12:27. On my phone, it's 14:27. Every time I adjust the time manually, it updates back to wrong time within an our or less. I tried changing my GMT (the correct one is GMT+1, but it changes too plus it changes time of my appointments.
I am not the only one with this problem, my friend keeps getting three hours forward instead of two like I do.
Any solutions to this problem, please?

Time on the phone should be provided over and synced to the network. Have you called your provided to see if they are having any issues with their network/servers?

I've heard some GSM provider's flat-out don't do this... So if the OP is in a small country or something with a small GSM provider... yea.
With CDMA, the network time is always provided. Whether it's always accurate or not... is another issue . I've never really had much issue with Sprint providing the right time - even when I am traveling... Phone has always shown the correct time - so long as I have service.

I bet there is an app you can get that will sync the phone to an atomic clock somewhere.
Well, I tried gTimeSync, but the thing is, I still have to update the time after restart. :-/ Well, at least I can correctly update time.
I have the same problem on the same phone, Hungarian Vodafone card..
Somtimes the clock is 1 hour out, sometimes 2... If I change the GMT+ setting, it is going back to the Hungarian one..
Windows Mobile problem I think, same problem with 2 different Vodafone cards, the cards are OK in my HTC HD2.
A registry hack maybe?
Solution!

The answer to my problem was this picture - http://www.mydigitallife.us/time zone setting.jpg from another topic here on xda forums.
Start - Settings - Personal - Phone - Time Zones - "Automatic change of time zone and clock." - unlock this option and there is our salvation.
Unfortunately, the time probably won't change automatically from summer/winter time, but it's still better than having permanently incorrect time.
Well, see you when I come up to another problem or I just happen to roam these forums.
