location displaying UK instead of town. - Desire General

hi, anyone got any ideas why in Google latitude and weather widget when I set it to use gps to detect my location it just displays UK instead of my town? if I set latitude to manual and say to use current location it picks up my town fine. I am confused, tried just about everything.

Have you tried using the wireless/mobile networks and not GPS to find location in the weather widget?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Phone showing incorrect GPS location

Maps is showing the correct location but Twitter, FB places, and the Sense weather widget are showing me to be in another state... Has this happened to anyone else?

unusual problem with location caching.

Hey Guys,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a while now, lately the browser cannot find my location, G+ (the app cannot find my location for nearby posts OR check in), facebook app can't find my location either, nor does twitter or any other client. I do get a decent lock on (with just data/wifi based location) in Google Maps.
Why is it that the other apps are failing to do so? Is anyone else facing this? or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Did you make sure your GPS is enabled and in settings you are allowing it to be used in apps? Just checking...

No gps is disabled, I'm talking about network based location which the app fails to get. How do I check if my settings are allowing the apps to use location data?
Have you set all three options under localization services?

Weather Widget

Anyone know how to change the weather widget came with the ION to search for GPS location (moved with device) instead of a fixed location ? I have tried out a few weather widgets in the Play Market, still like the default - simple and elegant. Thanks.
You have to have Google location services enabled. Took me a year to figure that out on my Play.

Where do find google services option? Isn't that the same as GPS Satellite? I had that checked still don't see any option in the weather widget beside entering city name.

I donĀ“t think you can with the Ion widget. I had to install the Weather Channel program, when you configure its widget you can set it for current location. But the widget sucks, so now I use it from the App menu only.
