I live in Ireland, I had a touch diamond and have replaced it with the desire. On the touch diamond I was getting the weather updates for the area of Dublin I was in, but with the desire I'm only getting national weather, and had to add Dublin as a city is there any setting that I need to change so that the location service can be more localized?

HTC have removed the localisation seen on the other devices due to customer reaction, in that people didn't believe the weather that the device was showing. So now it is more general.
There are many posts about this and also even when you pick a location, it seems to be very hit and miss if it updates at all.
Thanks but can you remove the current location as default? As the weather on my clock says its clear and the weather for Dublin says its raining.
The pinpoint location was great but if this is the case now its dreadful.

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".
I live in Gibraltar, 2 issues (both of them occur on the official unlocked and upgraded 2.2 ROM)
1) Automatic time one hour behind what it should be. When I choose automatic time it shows me as Western Africa. Gibraltar is considered U.K. however, the time is GMT +1 as we are located on the South of Spain.
2) Choosing Gibraltar as a location on the HTC weather widget and scrolling to it causes HTC Sense to crash "The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly.
Any idea why this "Gibraltarphonia?"

no offence but maybe its because your such a small area is the network your using spanish or african? because i know Gibraltar is just a few miles across the sea from the african coast init? anyway the automatic time is set by the network not the location service, maybe you should contact htc with your issues, as if no one has reported them before maybe they dont know of them?
Hi, we have our own provider - Gibtelecom who provide GSM/3G - over here. We are on GMT +1.
Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson etc. pick up the time automatically, and the Desire is not the only HTC which does not pick the time up from the network. Reported it to HTC when I first got the device about 3 months ago.
I had hoped Froyo update would resolve it. To be honest I'm not very happy with HTC support.
Could anyone who reads this thread try and add Gibraltar as a weather location and scroll through to it and see if it force closes?
Thanks!
Adrian.
OK, found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743957&highlight=gmt which shows it is a HTC issue.
I have mailed HTC the link, if they don't release the patch soon I will root. It may be the same issue causing the weather widget to crash as it does not know the correct time.
Adrian.
Its also weird in the Canaries!
They are on GMT time zone due to geography, whereas the network is spanish, so a lot of phones show one hour behind (ie european time instead of GMT!
Does more locale 2 from the market solve your problem?
More Locale 2 - Partly works
Appeared to work, but after phone reboot, time went back one hour again.....
Still no weather in Gibraltar or Singapore yet.
Fixed it.

hey guys,
My Desire HD had no problems until now..The weather widget cant display my current location's weathers information..I have no idea what to do...Can anyone help????!
Yes, the same thing has happened to me. It must be a HTC server thing.
It has happened every once in a while recently - if you google the issue, you will see that there are rushes of comments over time, linked presumably to when HTC's servers aren't running 100%
I'm encountering the same issue, I think it might be related to the last update I received to 1.84.207.2 (O2, Germany). Also Weather Bug doesn't work or Fancy Widget. It seems like there's something wrong with the location Service. I have the impression that "current location" is broken.
I'm encountering same problem The bug started yesterday.
It's an HTC problem. Everyone's weather is all over the place.
Yes,me and my friends have the same problemthats not only on the Desire HD,Wildfire,HD2 Users have the Problem too.
Mine Stopped working last night but it's resolved itself this morning.
Same issue in Paris...
it will sound stupid and i apologize but am not so unhappy about the weather widget.
i recently rooted and installed a custom rom and i thought that the weather widget had some kind of an issue.....
anyways, there are possibilities that it's not working but i just hope....
Cheers !!!
Same issue in Poland, just add manually your location in the meanwhile. Only "Current location" doesn't work
spoke too fast i guess.
it was the widget after all. a forum user sent me this patch (probabl for revolution rom? idk) installed it and voila. weather is sunny in greece.
the current location works and it actually tells my city (woah)
Cheers !!!
try revolution ROM's fix for weather update?
this really pisses me off. current and other locations don't work since the update. how come? what to do? how to fix? wtf?!
no one knows?!
[Solved] Weather Widget not working
This might not be the answer to everyones weather widget problem but I've just discovered that the Google Voice Search update was stopping mine from working. I just uninstalled it and blam, it's all good again.
i wasn´t listened anything about this issue..... in valencia (spain) flip&clock works perfect
when shows me current location, i refresh the weather and solves it. if not solves... i put the location manually.... :-S
Hello mates,
I am currently using RCMIXHD GB1.7.2 rom...its superb..no problems at all..But the only thing that bugs me is error in time zone
I live in India and timezone for India is +5:30 hrs from Gmt..So accordinly in the Date and time settings I have set it to 'Use network provided values'
also I have set home city to Mumbai..
Now the issue
My current city is New mumbai which is barely 30km away from mumbai..but in world clock I get two different timings..
eg: current city(navi mumbai) will show 11:35 hrs
whereas home city will show 17:05 hrs..which is exactly +5:30 hrs..
although the home timing is correct..
also the clock on home screen shows home time...
so why does my current city show wrong time .
also I have tried Insert coin rom..in that too I had same error..
so was wondering is this GB bug???
the home time and local time should be same..

Same problem in Estonia. Clock dont sync.
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?
