Is there a way to calibrate our GPS signal or location? Looks like my stock weather application is giving me my incorrect location. Hope someone could help.

Are you using a custom rom?
If so please read the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1239713
Create you own gps.conf file and update it every time you flash a new rom.
The gps.conf is for accuracy and fast lock of GPS signal.
Your weather app gives you the info based on the most closest weather location info.
Is impossible to have weather info in every locations, so the app shows the nearest location !

So I have noticed that no the accuweather widget will update the temp and stuff fine, but will not update to my current location?
If I go in and manually add a location it will change to it, but then no matter where I go it stays on that location. I have tried looking at settings, tried deleting and re-adding it, and just does not seem to follow me.
Anyone have this problem? Any ideas.....
Assuming this can't be fixed I was thinking of using weather channel and that widget as I know it updates based on your location, but I am worried about battery drain. Besides I actually like the default weather on the phone, but it is a killer that it will not update. I travel a ton for work and don't want to add every location.
TIA
Have you tried removing the widget and adding it back? I've noticed some funkiness with widgets in general after flashing and/or restoring and that usually fixes things for me.
EDIT: and even though it should matter, try adding the widget back and updating the settings outside so it can get a GPS lock. It should be able to figure out where you are from the cell tower, but I've notice the GPS icon in the status bar when I was messing with the setting.

I tried doing that a bunch of times thinking it may help. It really doesn't seem to make any difference. I notice when I was playing with the weather channel widget every time I wake my phone up I see the gps icon for a few seconds. Wonder if that should happen with accuweather too? I have made sure that the Enable current location is on too.
Hmmmm so yours updates huh?
AccuWeather does not have that option! I know it sucks. Yea! You can only add the cities you want or go to

Really?? Then what the heck does the enable my location do. Says something like lets the widget track your location and update....something to that effect.
That sucks then. Anyone have any hood weather widget that updates?

You get a free Thanks. Clicking all sorts of wrong buttons today...
When I was using it, I had a problem once when it wasn't updating at all. Took me about a week to notice. Removed the widget and added it back in and it started back up fine. But I've switched back to Beautiful Widgets.
Added the Accuweather widget on my homescreen as a test. It was blank after I first dropped it on the screen so clicked on it. The first thing it asked me was if I wanted to use my Current Location and automatically filled it in. Exited out and after a few seconds everything populated.
Strange problem. I can't find a way to put my GPS location on my home screen. It used to work flawlessly. But now it doesn't. I checked my GPS settings and they work fine. Even turn-by-turn Navigation works fine. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? It used to change if I went into another area (across the bridge into another state). Is there some secret? It seems it hasn't worked since I started flashing different custom ROMs. Could this be my problem? I really don't think this is the problem, but I really want this to start working. Anyone?

I guess that would depend on what rom you are on now and what widget you were using to get the location to display to begin with (I'm assuming you're referring to it working with a stock ROM?).
Please tell us first what you were using when you were able to use it.

tdunham, I'm sure I was on some type of rooted stock ROM. Since then I've used Blu Kuban, Mijjah's Goodness and a few other custom ROM's. I've usually used the digital clock, along with a Beautiful Widgets weather widget. I think it was about this time I lost my location display. Are there only certain weather widgets that display your location?

Yes, it's probably that simple . I seem to recall a weather widget that would show the location. It might have been beautiful widgets. I haven't used that one in a while. I'm using Accuweather right now and it shows my location too but if I want it to change, I have to go into settings and 'Enable Current Location' (right now mine is static, I just entered my zipcode when I set it up). I'm sure it's the same for other weather widgets too.
DO you have the options checked under the location menu. You have to do this for each rom since they are unchecked by default (3 options). I never leave gps checked but I do check the other two options in ics roms and it works fine.
Hello, i'd like to ask a question...
Is there a application or any other way to notify me when GPS locks position?
I searched a term on google and here but i couldn't find anything about this,
also have Tasker app and couldn't find a way to set it....
I need to geotag pictures with camera app but in 4.2.1 JB there is no icon to show if
GPS have locked my location.
Thank you in advance
The weather/clock widget on my lockscreen says "Weather Unavailable" ! I found it, that if I turn of my location settings, the weather will show up again, but I do not want it to stay on all the time, so what I did is I went to the weather options and added manually my city, hoping that it will no longer be necessary to leave location service on all the time, but NO, that didn't happen, it still says "Weather Unavailable" !
What am I missing ? With any other weather app I seam to be able to add the city manually and not to worry bout the location setting to be on constantly, so is there a way to do the same with HTC's weather widget ?
Thanks

I have no problem finding my city, it is immediately detected by the app, also I am getting the weather info inside the weather app itself, but on the lockscreen widget it just shows "WEATHER UNAVAILABLE"
At first I though that I probably "hibernated" something from Greenify, responsible for updating the weather info, but no! there is nothing that is remotely related to weather widget

Nope even then I had problems but it works now...it has to do with greenify if you greenify even one time only something minimal related to it it will break it even after reboot...only reflashing seems to help

Yes I can confirm, it works on ether of those settings ( high accuracy or battery saving). But the location setting is just to determine the location, that's it. After that a mobile data or wifi is required to get the weather info for that area (previously determined by the location service), but I have already added the location manually in to the weather app, but yet it still requires to have the location service On, constantly

I have not found one that can do the job...most of them takes you into the location settings, not just activate gps. But thank you for replying.
Any idea?
