Sense 2.5 My Location/Weather not updating

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?

Rooted 2.2= no weather update?

So I rooted over the weekend and tried several roms but noticed a problem that drives me nuts. After the downgrade my weather works with the clock\weather widget but after rooting the weather cant find my location. It doesnt seem to matter what rom I load the weather widget does not work. I tired beatiful widgets and it only works if I manually enter my location none will automatically detect my location. I did multiple wipes of data and delvic with no help. I even ran the sprint 2.2 ruu and it didn't work. The only way to get it back was run the ruu and then downgrade back to 2.1 and it works then 2.2 ota upgrade and it works but not when I root. I searched and tried all the ideas to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? By the way the 2 roms I was wanting to use were CM6 and Fresh just want it to automatically find my location for weather.

So am I to assume that nobody has had this issue or has any ideas?

I turned GPS off, enable the use wireless networks in location settings. Then turned GPS back on.............and now mine works.

What setting did you turn the gps off and back on in.

I tried that and I still have the Current location issue.
I just turned on wifi, I got my correct city showing again.
I think it's an issue with 3g that I posted another thread about.
So now my issue with 3g is that I can't get google to sync contacts, calander, email well, google talk times out, market can't pull open pages and now my current location city name.

[Q] Location not correct in SkyRaider 3.5

Does anyone know why skyraider rom would show my location through maps and weather incorrect? I had 3.2 skyraider, and it showed correctly, and have tried virtuous and it shows correctly. I have deleted the widget for clock and weather, removed and added location services, no luck.

Don't know. No problems here. What radio and kernel are your running?

SkyRaider Sense 3.5

was the stock froyo, didn't work then just changed over to 2.15.00.09.01, didn't work, and i am using whatever kernal comes with the 3.5 skyraider.
I also just went through and unrooted and all the location items are correct, but reinstalled Skyraider and they are wrong again. If i turn on the GPS it will find my location correctly, but without that it always comes up with a place that is about 120 miles away.

Maybe the closest A-GPS enabled tower is 120 miles away? I say this because you say if you turn on the hardware GPS it finds your location correctly. Also do you have "Allow Mock Locations" checked under Settings>Applications>Development? If it is un-check it.

The only thing about that is that other ROMS will show my correct location and weather based on my current location.

How odd. Never had that problem with any version of Skyraider.

fixed it. Not sure if I did it, or if i was having issues with VZW. Another fresh install, with wipe of everything seems to have fixed it.

[Solved]Weather unable to detect my current location

Hi there.
My weather widget is unable to turn into current location. I have shared my current location with Google but still shows only "My Location" and not "Current Location" on the clock widget(with weather widget). I am using LeeDrOid v2.2.3. Previously I do not have problem in this. But now not sure why the problem arose.
Thanks.

I saw this problem appeared for someone. Try to turn on your GPS. Please post if it helps

Ive got the same issue with android revs hd 5.1.1 ROM.
GPS and WIfi enabled and working.

Hi Va_Alexander and fatr1ch1e
Erm.. I have turned on GPS but still no luck. By the way turn on WiFi? I guess I must be connected into a WiFi server first before I can conclude anything. I do not have any WiFi at my house currently. So I will update you all soonest after I managed to fix them(hopefully. lol). If still can't be fix guess I should consider reflash the ROM again. Thanks ya. =)

I rebooted ,mine with gps off and then switched it back on. Weather now back to normal

Hi to all again.
Ok, I've tried to use WiFi(with GPS off). It works great and it is back to normal once again. Thx.

Wifi problems with rooted Telus DHD (tried multiple ROMs/Radios/Kernels)

Hi guys, just wanted to preface that I checked out multiple threads on 'weak wifi' issues and could not find a solution.
Here is my issue:
- I have a rooted (S-OFF/ENG-OFF) HTC Desire HD from Telus.
- I was running Android Revolution but decided to try a different ROM. At this point I had no trouble with wifi.
- Anyway, I tried an ICS ROM (IceColdSandwich-8.0.AOKP) but started noticing that the wifi connection was very weak. It would connect, open a couple of sites, but within 2 minutes, the signal would weaken to zero bars and it couldn't connect. The same thing happened with Google Play, Gmail sync etc.
- I know it is not a router issue as I have a HTC Desire Z right next to me and it has no problem connecting.
Here is what I've tried, software/hardware wise:
- Took off the battery cover and cleaned the contacts.
- For Sense ROMs, I went to advanced wifi setttings, and selected "Best Wifi Performance" and/or DLNA auto-IP.
- Turned wifi on/off.
- Tried a bunch of ROMs (Virtuous_Quattro_RC3, BlackICE v 1.50, DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1, AOSPX-1.0, etc.)
- All ROMS have been flashed after a full wipe using Android Revolution ROM's Full wipe (which works for all roms in CWM)
- Flashed new radios (26.14.04.28 and a couple of others)
What more can I do?
Thanks.

Hey I am currently running the same rom on a Telus DHD rooted.
I had the same issue and it apparently has something to do with whether your network is b or g based. If you play around with your routers settings and check to see which band you're currently using on it, change it and check it out. 5ghz is what mine is running and its working great.
Also as a note if you ever have problems with joining a ad hoc network make sure that you have it set as a open network with no passwords otherwise it won't even let you get a IP address for some reason. Its a limitation of all the ICS roms currently.
