A little over 3 months ago I moved from Kokomo, Indiana to a town in Kentucky. I have changed my phone number and have a local number. I am having an issue getting the weather widget to the right city no matter what rom I flash. It keeps wanting to switch back to my old location of Kokomo. The town I live in doesn't come up as one because well I live in a small farm town. It's getting pretty irritating. Anyone else experience this and how do I fix it?
Note: This seems to happen when I am on my home wifi. I am sitting here trying to duplicate it. On 3G it goes to the right city. On wifi it is defaulting to another city.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hey all. So I live in Milford CT, yet no matter what I do, the location features of this phone continue to put me in Mastic, NY. When I use my GPS on Maps, everything is fine. But all of the apps and websites (Google, Facebook, Beautiful Widgets, etc...) keep determining my location incorrectly. I searched on Google and out here, but not having any luck. Any thoughts? Anyone else found a fix for this, outside of manually setting location?

Network is not required to use GPS. It is just one of your app using GPS to determine ur position such as weather app, map etc

I haven't been able to get a gps lock since yesterday after using navigation on my phone. Any time I open an app that uses location services gps will kick in and will stay stuck on searching for location
Not sure if this is a widespread issue or something wrong with my phone

I guess the weather doesn't help things

I'll assume with all that went down there could be extra cell usage and cell towers not functioning. Cellphone GPS does use the cell towers for location.

I used SD maid and it deleted something I think.
No matter if I completely remove maps and start over... It says network connection not found... I could be on wifi or 4g and it still says network connection no found.
Any idea what I need? :banghead:

Uninstall Google Maps update under settings, app manager, google maps, clear app data and reinstall the update via Play Store.
OPEN Google maps and accept the terms DON'T open the navigation app until you have done this final step.
Hoping this helps

I did try that already...
Then ... I totally uninstalled the app.
And re installed it.
Still, same issue.
Tomorrow when I boot up my computer I'll see if titanium has a backup of it.

I read somewhere also that if you use lucky patcher to block adds that it might interfere with Maps/Navigation it was suggested there to clear the "host" file, I just don't remember where I read that.

Cool glad I was able to help you out :thumbup:
Being a truck driver I know how it sucks if you don't have maps or navigation
