I recall there was a thread about this a week or so ago but I can't find it ... basically since updating my phone to Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 via the .exe link on this forum, the HTC weather app just says United Kingdom instead of my actual location, any solutions for this?
Thanks
You can either manually add your location or just wait for Agps to kick in. It's good to let the Rom settle for a while too after flashing. Turning off fastboot and restarting a few times can help too.

This doesn't work. AGPS doesn't have anything to do with it, as my location is accurate on the Accuweather mobile web page and in Google Maps. I have restarted my phone numerous times and it doesn't have any affect. As the post above this one mentioned, its not just on my ROM. I have a feeling its an issue with HTC/Accuweather but I would like clarification on this please.

Hi,
my mates DHD also has the same issue, gets UK on wifi but on AGPS/signal location we both get the right location, i'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this?
Same happens here in Finland too, DHD doesn't update "my location" right after 2.3.5 update... I have mailed to HTC for this issue but no help from there...
Yeah, seems like it's an issue, but only on wifi, hope it gets fixed soon!

Mines not on WiFi, I'm using my mobile network
I have had this issue on several roms. Usually I have to turn Agps off and GPS off. Reboot. Use GPS test to clear Agps. Turn both back on and Make sure you get a GPS lock. Then go back to widget and open. It will fail again, but when you hit refresh it will finally connect to accuweather. Sometimes this process has to be done more than once. Usually though it will just start working on its own. How long before it does though could be a while.

I've tried that, turned GPS off and back on again, gone onto Google Maps, found my location, ran the widget and it still comes back as United Kingdom. This is both on WiFi and on Mobile Data.
It looks like its a official problem as everyone seem to have the same problem, hope we get a fix soon.

I recently started using Endomondo with my One X (Im new to endomondo anyway!). On my first run i noticed some odd placement of some of the GPS markers on the route i followed. I figured it was just bad signal.
I took both my One X and Nexus one out today, One X in left trouser pocket and N1 in my Right. The N1 does still have some anomalous readings but nowhere near as many as my OneX
Does anyone else notice this with their One X using Endomondo/similar applications
P.S Yes, i know i am horrendously unfit.

Having come from the iPhone 4 (using MotionX GPS) I also downloaded Endomondo last week to give it a try. Did an 8 mile walk with the phone having a clear view of the sky. Looks okay when zoomed out, but if you zoom in to view the route then it looks like I've had 20 pints beforehand and am wavering all over the place!
http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/qkSZ8nv3D7o
Haven't had chance to try another program yet to see if it's the phone or the software.
Having similar problem with Noom. Seems to think I have travelled three times the distance, in some cases, simply because of the erratic zig zags. It actually produces reasonable results if I reduce the GPS polling frequency (setting within Noom) to 30 seconds, from the default 1 second.
Had same kind of problem with Endomondo on my HTC One X.
This is the workout with the HOX: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/48666294
And this is with my old SE Neo: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/13079346
Aprox 3,5km difference... very weird..
Has anyone tried endomondo on a different device - do they get the same results.
Out of interest, what Firmware version is your One X which gives these results?

I was still using the official HTC 1.26 firmware when I tracked mine - I'll give it another go now I've upgraded to Mike1986's firmware.
Got the same gps issues using runtastic and Navigon or GMaps.
Found 8-10 satellites, but my position is jumping around.
Hope it is not a Hardwareissue like on transformer prime with tegra3.

got a htc one x last week, exactly same problem with edomo, sports tracker and sporty pal, also google maps is erectic, rang 3 who supllied phone they say its the apps that are faulty, they all work perfectly on my desire, help please as i have 7 days left to send it back. no good to me if gps is crap
Return it
I have the same GPS problem in all my GPS apps that are working fine in my old Desire.
The only solution people report in other treads is to return the phone for another copy - I tried that today in my shop - the official HTC shop in Copenhagen - only to be told that I was one day late as they have a 7 day policy, so now my phone has to go away for "repair" a number of weeks
I blocked the GPS-Services to prevent download AGPS-data, and cleared after that the AGPS-data on my phone using GPS-Status. Now is working.
..as well I disabled the HTC Auto GPS using Titanium.

Nicely done.
I ain´t got the balls to root just yet, is it possible in any way to block the agps while using Endomondo or such apps without root access?

You could try to put the phone in Plane/flying mode and then delete the Agps info with the gps status app.
Maybe that will work, because endomondo (or any other app) will not be able to update the gps info at that moment.
I must say, i have not yet tried it, so i have no idea if this realy works, but i think it should work.

Works fine to use the gps in flightmode. Sadly after a fast try indoor (near a window) the gps keeps moving around.
Will try outside tomorrow...

Well, I must say that my device is not rooted, neither unlocked and I do not have any problems with Endomondo. My workout on One X: workouts/49448880 (sorry could not post full link due to limitations for new users). As you can see everything is fine here.

Mine does the same but if I run gps essentials map mode it stays quite still and true speed reading shows no movement. Odd.
Did a recording of "HTC Locations" quite the same as Demented-Idiot´s result:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9508466/GPS_HoX.mp4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux0XJ6iOpl4
...also look at speedometer at top of screen
I always have to reboot or turn to airplane mode to get it responsive again.
Its annoying cuz first, yay I can browse happily and fast, but after a few page, the data icon will stuck(arrow up and down wont change, stayed on white colors), which made every connection error.
Rooted/Unlocked/Custom rom/Custom kernel. Tried every baseband available but same trouble.
Is it related to faulty sim card? or is it my network is the problem? tried other carrier and worked fine though.
and fyi, AOSP gave less problems except connection drops sometimes(which is related to AOSP thing I guess) but data hang is not frequent. On Sense, every single time!
+1
Happens to me as well from time to time.
Anyone knows what is the cause?

I called my telco and ask them to check the connection with my number. they said its unstable and improperly connected. so they rebooted the (I dont know what they called) and etc. Rebooted my phone, turn on data, and damn it worked! Speedtest gave me average of 7-8 mbps for download. i rarely get that. now no more hung up. now i'm in love with my hox back. never thought thats the problem since other phones are working well previously.

Hi everybody. Hope someone can help me out here. I have a note 2 LTE and my whatsapp messages are taking quite awhile to reach me and this only happens if I leave the phone in standby for about 15mins without doing anything. After that, it can take up to 30mins before the whatsapp notification alert goes off. But if I manually open whatsapp, the whole load of messages will be received all at once. Network signal and data are strong and I am not moving. So I suspect it has something to do with the phone data settings because my HTC one x do not have this problem at all. Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!
Are you running any sort of battery saver?

have gotten the same problem before.
maybe you are using some apps like task killer ?
Hi. Thanks for all the replies. Nope, I am not running any task killer or battery saver. How did you guys resolve this?
Some kind of firewall or data management issue. Classic answer but i think it will solve your problem: just factory reset..

Does this happen with any other application such as email, Skype, chat on? If it's only related to whatsapp then just try to clear it's data, uninstall and download it again.

I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.
If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.
I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.
GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.
I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....
