I can only think that this is linked to my gmail account somehow as I shall explain now.
Before my DHD I had an iPhone and lived in a place called Corsham, I since moved to Lincoln which is 150 miles away, my DHD has never been to Corsham and yet it keeps defaulting to Corsham for my location under the sense clock for the weather. Why would this be when this phone has never been there!

I don't know if there's a solution anywhere, but one thing I know worked for me:
click the weather to go into the full-mode, then click the menu button, and "delete". Delete all the locations set in here. Get back out, then delete the clock on your home screen (long press, move it to "Remove" [sorry, you probably know that]), and then long press, add widget, select that clock again. Select "Current location".
I know that worked for me, but I don't know why, so I can't promise it will solve your issue. Good luck!

Hi,
Does anyone know where HTC gets the list of places from for the built-in weather app?
I'm trying to add Calais and Le Touquet (both of which are in the default iPhone weather app) but they are not available on the HTC app, grrr.

I'm finding this strangely limiting as well. Letting the weather app find my location works flawlessly, but if I try and enter those same locations which it found, there's nothing there... wierd.
please search before creating a new thread, there are several existing posts about this issue & what HTC have said in reply.

Well I've just trawled through 19 pages and I'm none the wiser....
I turned it off, because it doesnt have any smaller locations, and the clock thing on the front screen. Kept getting in the way, opening the weather thing whenever you got a finger close to it and having two clocks on the same screen looked stupid...
JAmes.

Both of those locations appear to be included within Weatherbug, which I've been trying out as I couldn't find a place in the HTC app for a forecast and also I wanted to specify locations rather than current location. Firstly I know what the weather is doing in my current location and secondly it was just generating extra traffic whilst out and about.
I don't think Weatherbug is as easy on the eye, but it has a choice of widgets and is far more informative, so worth a look at the freebie version imho.
On my Desire Z i have a HTC Widget called "HTC News" which i use a lot to get my news.
However the 17th of December at 1:48PM this widget/app decided to stop working.
I havent received any news since this time. If i tap update in the htc news app it just dosnt get anything, like there haven't been any news since that day. The Apps settings is set to update everytime the app open up and every 30 minuttes. If i do a sync it dosnt get anything either.
If i however add some new RSS it is working inside the app but not on the widget. The widget just loads forever..
I know the RSS links are correct as they work on my Google Reader which they've been importet from. They have also worked for about two weeks before this startet happening.
Anybody else experiencing something like it? Or even better - knows a solution to it?

Delete / re-add widget?
Allready tried that
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah -- I think its just not that well-written of an app/widget.
I tried reinstalling, and likewise it still refused to update. then I tried clearing out the user data -- now when I add the widget it just goes to the Subscription window and sits on Loading.... forever.
Removed and now I'm using the android "news and weather" widget.
How can I Install Gtalk or Pidgin messenger like in ubuntu linux on my HTC Desire HD. I am using Ubuntu right now it have Pidgin messenger where I can signin to any of my account hotmail, yahoo, gtalk.

Close Applications?
Hi Guys,
New to my HTC Desire HD. I opened some applications but they are showing on the top if I drag it down also my battery were half used in night when I was sleeping sure due to open applications. How can I close all the applications and make my phone on rest. Also how can I delete the short cuts from the desktop?

The apps are probably fine unless is one of them is a rogue battery eater. Your problem is more likely to be that the battery hasn't correctly calibrated yet. It's common for the battery to be bad when you first get your phone.

how can I resolve this issue how can i close all applications because bluetooth is off but still big sign on left of screen appearing.
When you pull down the notification bar you see a list of recently used apps, but they're not necessarily running.
Bluetooth will only be on if you have a little icon at the top near the wifi / 3G battery icons. If this icon isn't there then it's off (check in settings if you must).
To close all apps hold the power button until you get the power menu and then select "Restart". This will close all apps and restart the phone. You shouldn't really have to do this very often though.
To answer your other question - To remove desktop shortcuts, press and hold the icon until it lets you move it around and then drag in down to the launcher dock where you will see a trash can icon. This doesn't uninstall the app / shortcut, only removes it from that screen
Cheers

Help guys same question?
Hi,
when clicking on the (street) address of a contact in the HTC Desire HD contact app, I'm not offered a choice anymore. The default action now is to open the address in the HTC locations application. I used to get a choice between HTC locations, Google Maps, and other navigation programs. I do not want to use HTC locations.
I can't find a way to get the choice back again. I downloaded DefaultApp Reset by T.Fujii from the market and it offered to delete the default actions of HTC Sense and the Browser. I did that, without success. Looking in other threads the advice was to use ClearDefault from the market. I couldn't find that one, but I guess DefaulApp Reset does the same.
I can go to settings > applications > manage applications, and delete default actions of programs. In fact, the DefaultApp Reset just takes you there too. None of the applications I associate with my problem have the possibility to hit "clear default actions", they're all greyed out. I have looked into the following applications:
Contacts
Contact widget
Friend stream and - widget
HTC Hub
HTC Likes
HTC location service
HTC Sense
HTC Sync
Settings
Settings wizard
Location
Locations
Locations launcher
Locations widget
Maps
Settings widget
Street View
Maybe the names are a bit wrong, I'm not using english on my device.
After clearing HTC Sense and Browser with the app, no more new applications show up anymore that can be undone from default actions.
What can I do?

I never had the choice. It always went to Google maps, but now goes to HTC Locations. This came up on another thread - it could have been over on Androidfourms - and there is nothing to change to fix it on a stock phone (that anyone has found - maybe if it's rooted). All I want is to be able to see the full postal address in writing and then, *if* I wanted, to then see it on a 'map'.
After checking a few apps out I went and installed Youlu and it does exactly what I want. Shows the address then launches Google maps if you tap it. It'd be good to be able to change the application that is launched but you can't have everything ....
Dave
Hmm, that would suck. I'm pretty sure I had the choice once....
I figured it out, all of a sudden. When you are in the contact list, you can click on the picture of a contact in stead of on the name. Then you get a small widget that has a Map option to the utmost right. That one opens a window where I can chose between Google Maps and Waze, where I was looking for.
That doesn't solve your problem but does solve mine. Happy again!

You're right. Sort of .... On mine (latest OTA update - the one that was pulled) I get that widget but choosing the map option gets me Google maps. No choices. very strange that touching the address gets you Locations but the map option on the contact picture is Google ..... Me thinks HTC's software engineers need some better QA testing!
Dave
Well the choice I get is between Maps and Waze. So, if you don't use Waze - which you should by the way - that might be the reason you don't have a choice.
Or, it could be that you have ticked the always use this action box. You might be able to undo that, using the method I described in my topic start. BTW, it seems that deleting to many apps' default actions broke up all Auto Sync on my device. Got it up and running now after some fiddling around.
Easy check: download Waze from the market and see if you get a choice.
I'm wondering what the requirements for an app are to show up in the choice list.
wanted to post the same...
... question...
my dhd stock newest OTA update also doesnt ask which maps application should be startet.
it just opens "locations" instead of asking.
thanks for the workaround over the contact list, works fine ;=) but isn't a solution...
best regards,
mike

sorry, just a few days ago i searched google again.

Hey guys,
Click the phone icon on the dock, and whilst on the phone tab....
Is yours full of google & facebook contacts that you don't want,
I also have multiple contacts for the same people,
How can I clear all these people, & show just my sim contacts.
I've managed to show just my sim contacts in the 'people' tab, but the 'phone' tab is really bothering me, I don't want all these people on my phone - nor do I want multiple contacts for the same person.
Any clues how I can fix this?

Mine was showing my Google+ contacts, so I went to the Peoples App and clicked on "Phonebook" in the top left and un-ticked the ones I didnt want to see.
You can link contacts. Can't quite remember how to do it manually but I'm surprised Sense hasn't already picked up that they are duplicates as it would normally automatically suggest that you link them

Hi, that's what I already did to fix the people tab.
I mean the phone tab, it's full of rubbish - google contacts, facebook contacts & even multiple contacts of my own contacts.
There must be a way to clear this up, I don't understand why it's like this...

Ah ok, I should have read your original post a bit better sorry. Mine is exactly like yours as well, but no idea how to filter that list, can't even see a menu or options button anywhere.

I know, I've tried to look for a menu sort list for the phone tab, I don't think one exists.
Stupid, as they have this filter list for the other tab.
