Hey guys, done some searching around, and apparently I'm not the only person with this problem, however I can't find a fix. I have to disable 3G to get "my location" and weather for my location to update properly. Manually added cities will update perfectly with 3G turned on. It's not a ROM or Radio specific issue, as I have flashed three different ones. I am currently running the final e2 6.5 ROM with the stock Radio. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to get this running properly? Thanks.
if you haven't already done so enable the "Enable my location" option and then try: menu> settings> check the "Download date automatically"box> select how often you want weather to update.
In addition to what marduk79 said, I have found that it only works reliably when you have a very good 3G signal. Wifi doesn't seem to matter. Probably GPS related. And even then it seems to only auto-update when it feels like it. However, it is cool that it will change location and give you the actual local weather depending on where you are. Just wish the updates were more consistent.

I appreciate the advice guys. However, the problem is still consistent. Example: I can be sitting on my couch, with 3G enabled, and weather for "my location" will not update. Then, I can turn around, disable 3G, and the weather update goes through. It happens every time I am in any 3G area. Its driving me crazy!
Don't know how your internet-settings are, but I've resolved this problem by removing portalmmm in internetsettings (proxy).

Portalmmm is just for Kpn in the Netherlands. So it will not work for him.
But you can always check you're apn settings to see if they are still correct.
Thanks for all the help, none of it works. There never was an official sense 2.5 ROM released for the AT&T branded tilt 2. I've just reverted back to the stock ROM for now. Appreciate the help though, guys

This worked for me, thx!
i've got Hi-internet (part of KPN), so autoconfiguration of my internetsettings set it to connect to portalmmm.nl as APN, which works for most things, but not for automatic weather updates..
@dressanderc: I'd check if there's any other APN that you can use..
Actually I have been having the same issue for about a week now. Seems that when I try to update my weather screen, it places me about 200 miles east. My 3G appears to working fine, as I am able to stream my Orb music to the phone.
When I switched to Google Maps, the GPS was also locating me 200 miles away. I changed the GPS settings from Windows managed, then it located me correctly in Google Maps, but no luck with the HTC location service, still had me 200 miles away.
And I am using the stock Verizon ROM, with Sense 2.1.

It could be a radio problem. What radio are you using?

I have the same issue with my wife's Tilt 2, it isn't rom specific but it is frustrating as hell. It will update once in a while, it seems to update when it gets to the final day in the 4 day window that is displayed. I did get it to update once yesterday but immediately after that I got the connection error again. I may try a different radio to see if that helps.
Having the same issue. I just added my local city, but I really liked the auto updaing feature. I am using Energy ROM now. I see what OP meant, I turned off 3G and it works, but turning on 3G won't locate me
Is the ability to enable "enable my location" only available with other than the AT&T Tilt2 ROM? I ask because I don't even have the "My Location" option in World Clock.
This is because the 3G in your are is most likely a new development, perhaps even in testing stages. When they first brought 3G to Terre Haute, IN (where i am) mine did the same thing. just give it a few weeks and it will work.
I live in an area where 3G has been in place ever since it was first deployed. With my last phone (Fuze) the cooked ROM included the feature. I just got my Tilt 2 and I don't think the stock ROM/radio supports the feature. Anybody have any expertise with this?
Hello,
Since I have rooted my myTouch 3G Slide I started to notice GPS problems.
But it's funny how some things related to GPS work, and some don't.
Examples:
- Weather: can determine my location perfectly and show weather from that region.
- Maps: can't determine my location, or shows it in completely random place, or maybe like 2-3 miles off. But now I just checked it works perfectly when plugged into usb (charge mode). But now if I unplug and use maps it will work perfectly. But sometimes it's just gay...
- Facebook Location: sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Pretty much same as maps
I have tried many roms and this happens on every rom there is.
Currently I am using stock rooted rom with su.
Possible thoughts: GPS doesnt work on full power when not plugged into usb and thats why it cant find location...
P.S. Off-topic question. Anyone knows good offline navigation with gps tracking?
Are you using a Froyo ROM? And if so, did you upgrade to the latest radio? In my experience, anytime I switched to a ROM that changes a major version of the software, the radio had to be upgraded. The latest is 7.09 still I believe... The "randomness" of location working is probably because you're not waiting for a GPS lock. When maps shows you not exactly in the same place, it is not "random", it has located you based on the cell towers in your area, as a "calculated" approximate location. Think of "triangulation" that was popularly used in the movies when they would track a person via cell phone. Almost all the apps that can use your locations can use either location by GPS or location by network.

Hmm I never updated the radio cause I have had no idea what it is, but I will look into upgrading it. And hmm, maybe GPS doesnt work at all and those apps that work use network to figureout location.
But anyway I installed CoPilot and it worked great so far.
Lokking forward radio upgrade, and thanks for info
i have had this issue for sometime, i thought it was app specific...
until i loaded up 2 other weather apps.
go weather 1.5.1 and animated weather.
both tell me network error when trying to look up my location.
the stock weather app works fine, everything is enabled, location, gps, all that stuff...
using mikfroyo 4.5.. but this issue has been happening on other roms as well.
any ideas on what the deal is?
Hello everyone,
I found it a little strange, but when I do not have a GPS lock and rely on agps to get my weather updates, the weather widget claims I'm in Ojai, CA. As soon as I go outside, I get a lock and the weather is at the right location. Google maps reflects this anomaly as well.
I've flushed agps using GPS status and tried a few roms, but the same result. Is this something documented, or is something faulty with my device? This is the first any of my devices has come across this peculiar issue.

Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem with the HTC weather locations. It is displaying the country's name instead of the weather in the specific location. This happens in both Wi-Fi and 3G connections and it wasn't like this in the first days of use.
I have the HTC One X stock unbranded rom 2.17.401.2 with Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1. This also happened in the previous update.
Any solution for that?

Just a shot in the dark here, but check your timezone settings in your clock (??)
Could you try selecting or adding a location manually? This is done from within the weather app.
Also, I can't remember now if the option is still there, but I remember a while ago seeing a setting to change the weather provider from google to accuweather or vice versa (might have been on a CM rom? not sure, sorry).
One other thing, are you using something like Autostarts or a start up manager? It's possible you've disabled the location service by mistake.
It's a problem with htc/sense happens now and then, make sure all your location settings are turned on. Open like maps and location and get location restart a couple of times. I've seen this error loads over the years with stock roms
