My Location for Sense UI is not working? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

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.

My Location doesn't work with the PDA phones, you have to select the Use GPS option, not My Location.
Did you do the ROM update and install the drivers?
Yes,,,, I Think?
Like I said, I have an Alltel version of the Vogue. I did the Rev A , upgrade thats on the Htc website. I don't really know what you mean by installing the drivers though? I tried the GPS fix on the first page , but had no luck. I followed the directions perfectly but when I tried google maps then, it said my device doesn't support it or something of that nature..... If you have any Ideas , I would really appreciate it.
Also, Is there a good rom you would suggest for me to try on here. Wm6.1. I want the wm6.1 rom, and have asked for help with this for a while now with no answer. I am tired of having to install everything one by one after a Hard reset . Is there a way to add a couple of my favorite programs to one of these roms on here, and if so or if not, what is a good rom, without the radio, that has no bugs. Thanks guys.

ok so the "my location" feature (i am pretty sure) just uses cell towers to triangulate your current pos. so dont try and click that because it is not supported for a lot of HTC phones right now. hit the menu key and check "use gps". see how that works out for you. you may have to give it anywhere up to about 8 min to get a lock at times :S. after it has a lock, you can select "My Location" and it will then simply make sure that the screen always has you (your location, the little blue dot) in the center of the screen.
if that still doesnt work (which it probably will), you can try downloading programs like quickgps, and gpskickstart, and getting other gps drivers. i would just recommend googling these terms with "ppcgeeks" or "xda" on the end.
good luck!

No GPS Verizon XV6900 (Vogue)

Oh kay... I really hope I don't get yelled at for not searching or something but I can't find anything and I seriously need help. I have the 3.42.50(I think) radio and OMJ's Custom Verizon Rom and I just can't get a lock. I've tried thousands of tutorials and haven't had any luck. On my current flash I've used this tutorial, and haven't gotten a lock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm pretty desperate. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
First, to make sure you have the updated radio (which you probably do) go to start/settings/system/Device Information and check there to make sure.
I wish I had had such a detailed set of instructions to follow when I was setting up my US Cellular Vogue. I had to patch together instructions from 3 different sources to make it work. Of course it works, yours doesn't. Are you outside when you are trying to get at least your initial lock. When I first lock on I generally have to be outside, after it is once locked on I can go inside and it will retain a lock.
Check for my Tips thread, basic info on setting it up is there.

oh kay... sorry for the delayed response... anyway... i do have the updated radio and i dont think i've ever tried it outside... :-\ i have tried it standing right next to a glass door... also, should i be messing with the baud rate at all while trying to get a lock?... im not sure wat to do after i open GPS Viewer... i set the Com port to 4 and then i open GPS... is that all i have to do?...
and... can u send me a link to those tips TheChampJT? im bad at navigating forums... :-\
Have you ever run the MR1 on your phone? This would block third party apps from accessing your gps. If this is the case, you need to down grade to a none gps rom, the upgrade.

I might have... would a radio version be able to tell u if this is my problem?... my radio is currently 3.42.50... I did notice my radio version changed after the update so i just used cokes rom to flash it back and started using another rom...
If it came with verizon WM 6.1 or you flashed verizon WM 6.1 and let costumizations run, then you found your problem. Maybe if you tell use what you have done with it since you got it, it might be easier to diagnos.

I used this reported "Leaked Official Verizon Rom". IT WORKS!
ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Verizon/RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship.exe
You run it and allow it to customize and wahla...updated WM6.1 and the GPS works!
Gps has to be configured to use Com 4.
Use HTC Titan Quick GPS to updated satellite empiricals (GPS position data). I get cold fixes in 15 seconds indoors! Download it from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4914&d=1201747040
You will have to do a "Over the Air" reprogram via *228, I think its option 2.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE NEW ROM AND EASY AS PIE TO INSTALL!
Darn GPS is pretty dam close. I get 29foot accuracy 98.5% of the time!
ozzzzzzz,
did you change the location setting under phone settings? I forgot to check this and finally figured to look there.
Go to settings / personal / phone-----then hit services and select settings for location. Make sure that 911 is not selected. May be simple issue with that.

aGPS on Verison w\Radio 3.37.78 and NFSFAN's Cusom WM6.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=939180
KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!

I did whole unlock 0.40 to Sprint ROM to unlock 2.31 to VZW ROM, then straight to WM6.5V12, then I did the aGPS hack with QPST, and even tried cody's fix in his FAQ thread. I spent all yesterday morning trying to get GPS working, and I've got nothing to show for it. I'm so f'n pissed right now!

Nope. The only time I let customizations run was when I installed WM6.5.
I did the Coke .40, Sprint (no-run), Coke 2.31, Verizon (no-run), NSFANS WM6.5 (run) and then his two verizon cabs and finished with the aGPS hack with QPST. I used the Telus fix, but should I have used a different one?
I was able to get GPS (with locks after a few minutes outside). I don't think I am getting aGPS, though.
Doesn't aGPS help when you are moving or inside? I think that you would get faster locks (especially the first time) if aGPS is working.
BTW, that routine killed my voice line and SMS with a #8899 notification. Verizon networking is still working.
Todd you'll have to call Verizon and have them re-authorize your phone. The same thing happened to me when I tried that fix.

I will. That office is closed until Sunday. While I am waiting I am trying other methods and options.
I am currently on a Coke .40, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (no-cust), Coke 2.31, Verizon ROM 3.14.605.1 Radio 3.37.77 (w/cust) followed by QuickGPS. This lets me see satellites and gets me fully back on a Verizon radio. (I will still have to call #8899 when their office opens)
Can anyone match up ROM versions with the MR1, MR2 designations? Is 3.37.78 MR1?

Orange touch HD + tomtom= no GPS device?

Hi,
I signed up a touch HD with orange UK yesterday. The first thing I did was to install TOMTOM on the machine. However, TOMTOM kept reporting no GPS device. If it finds the internal GPS receiver, then it is 20 minutes later. One thing I notice is that when TOMTOM is looking for the GPS receiver, there is something trying to connect to the internet.
I am sure I did everthing right as I was using this copy of tomtom on the touch diamond and it worked like a treat.
Did orange do anything to the GPS so people can only use their stupid orange map? If they did, is there any way that I can get the tomtom working?
Many thanks in advance.
Thank you for all your advice and the problem has been solved. Here are a few tips for people who have the same problem.
1. A-GPS can only make things worse, switch it off.
2. Update your quick-GPS data.
3. It seems that tomtom struggles to find GPS device on certain orange handset. If you are the unlucky one, try change your hand set with orange. If you don’t want to go through the trouble, open google map to locate satellite before open tomtom.
4. Debrand the handset.
5. Orange’s customer service is crap, stay away if you can

Thanks, I have updated the quickGPS the first thing. I have the a-gps enabled, though it could help to locate the satallite.
I think it is recomended to be disabled.
Perhaps try it if you have not.
GPS always worked fine for me with the stock Orange ROM, that was with 1.14 though, I think they come with 1.19 now, it also works fine with all of the cooked ROMs I've tested. Perhaps the version of TomTom you have isn't fully compatible with the HD (I did notice you said it worked on the Diamond, but perhaps there's a hardware/software difference on the HD which stops it working.

Hi Guys, Thank you for your reply.

Thanks all for your help. Disable A-GPS seems hlep a lot. I will try again today.
By the way, UK orange's customer service is what I call crap. I called them about the GPS last night and a idiot tell me that as far as I can make phone calls, my phone is fine.

Don’t blame them, that is way we are here.
My tomtom version is 7.915.9196, with latest UK and Ireland map v830.2307
but unfortunately it doesn’t support 7 point postcode system just accept 4 digit post code and in order to find the address you actually need to know name of the street as well. But I have iGO with 7PPC which it is fantastic.

thanks for telling me.
ok now for everyone which already had tomtom without 7 digit postcode, do as I listed here:
01- Downloaded the file
www.tomtom.com/updates/great_britainpostal_all.zip
02- copy it into new folder (folder's name doesn't matter)
03- extract it.
04- click on setup.exe
05- choose "i agree" then click next.
06- choose Pocket PC (Windows CE)
07- choose install Tom Tom Great Britin Postcode then click next.
08- choose other location (Advanced)
09- choose Folder on the computer
10- select any folder you want
the software will generate a zip folder
after getting the zip folder move it to your SD card's Root
start TOM TOM you will be able to do a full 7 digit postcode search.

I often get the 'GPS device not found' error on my Orange HD also. A quick fix I've found is to run Google Maps first and lock onto a GPS signal in there, before opening TomTom. Seems to 'solve' the problem for now...

it shouldn't be like that, when I had Stock ROM on my HD I used to had similar problem beside long waiting time before tomtom finds signal (about 15 ~ 20s) but after flashing HD with Custom ROM every problem is gone, now it finds signal in less than 5 second

Exactly what I was going to say.. I had the same problem with mine running 7.9something. If you run google maps in the backgroungd it almost jump started the gps. I have also found that once you get a gps signal it seems to keep it easier..... dunno if thats just hopeful. Oh yes and I am on Orange too stock rom.

My Location/Weather Not Working

Guys I know this has been covered in other threads and I've searched for hours, reading every thread I can, and I still cannot come up with a fix for this.
I am running a Tmobile Branded Touch Pro2, unlocked, hard SPL of course, with EnergyROM Photon Standard WM6.5 v 20091011 which is very slick by the way. My radio is version 4.49.25.05.
For whatever reason "My Location" doesn't work and Weather does not download. I have checked all the obvious things like making sure autoupdate is set, location service is on, etc etc. As a side note, Google Maps seems to locate me just fine, Bing is flaky at best.
Any thoughts???
Known issue. It doesn't work in custom roms.
If I load the Standard TMobile ROM that I saw posted here for the Touch Pro2 will My Location start working again?
Is there a way to go back to the shipped radio version as well?
this has been discussed many times...my location for some reason does not work on 3g even with the stock rom...but it will work when u switch to edge..just try it out..

First of all it does work in custom roms -- it's working on my phone and mine is a custom rom. Many people have posted about how with this cooked rom or what that new radio-rom that now My location works. But, that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to work -- just that it can work.
And, believe it or not, mine only works when I have a 3G connection...I don't know why, but it's true -- tested again and again.
I'm currently running the Photon Oct-11 manila2.l OS-rom with the 4.49.25.17 radio rom.
One accurate way to put it is: Try this, try that...and -- depending on where you live, maybe...it might work! Good Luck!

My location not updating or showing

Under my clock, my location wont show the picture, it just show the words my location, i went to weather icon and set up my location. I click update and it updates fine, it says 1 of 2, i put it on 1 and try to update so it will show under the clock, and it says no weather data available.
Any ideas?

What ROM and what radio do you have? If you can't update weather for MyLocation, you have to upgrade your radio.
im using [ROM][WWE][12/13/2009] RRE™ T²-Series 1 build 28014.5.5.0 v1.5, my radio is 4.48.25.20
Since you have a stock Tilt2 radio, I recommend you upgrade your radio (the link is above) to something better. Some people like 4.49.25.17 and 4.49.25.57. Depending on the ROM and your location, each radio will perform differently, but you could try .17 because that's one of the most accepted radios.
You should get MyLocation to work after that.
I got it, thanks for the help. This site is by far the best for the HTC.
Thanks again.
I've had the same stock radio on my TP2 since day one, never have had an issue with My Location. I'd suggest a different ROM before flashing the radio.
I have this issue as well. I have upgraded to the 25.91 radio and My Location is still not updating. It was working fine for the last 6 months but a few days ago the location changed to a South East Asian country. I deleted all the locations and added my city in manually. The manually entered city updates fine but under My Location is says "no weather data available." Any ideas?
Edit: Went to Settings -> Location and the Local Service Settings was off and grayed out. I tapped on it a few times and got a Google maps agreement popup, after I accepted that agreement, the option to turn on the service was no longer grayed out. After turning on the service My Location now working. Not quite sure what caused the service to be turned off in the first place.
THANK YOU

What ROM and what radio do you have? If you can't update weather for MyLocation, you have to upgrade your radio.

Man, you are the ****. I just got this licked after installing a new radio. You know, you would think that these cooks in the ROM biz would cook these upgraded radios into their ROMs, but whatever, my location works and my gps works better as well with the new 4.49.25.57 radio, man where would I be without this site. A thousand thank you's, my friend.
Now, I feel like a noob
