I have my location turned off often. As a result the weather status in the lockscreen changes to "Weather Unavailable", Screenshot
Is it possible to fix the weather to one city without having location turned on all the time? or even remove the feature all together?

Anyone else get this? Can you try please?
If I start up the GPS from settings (or the power widget) I don't get the little notification icon (the one that looks like a satellite dish) on the bar at the top of the home screen (or it only appears for a second then goes.)
However, if GPS is enabled and I start up maps, navigation or something like Wikitude, then the notification does display (and the app instantly gives me my location.)
Was it always so? I have a memory that under 2.1 when turned on, it displayed the notification icon when no relevant app was used and indeed of it telling me no GPS lock as I was indoors? So has it gone from a "Select On" state (in which it was enabled and notification was shown even if no app requiring it was enabled) to a sort of "background mode" in which it only shows the notification (and thus actually works?) if an app which requires it is used?
But aren't there uses for location that aren't to do with actual apps?
Someone? Press that button and tell me if the notification flag shows if you aren't in an app.
The notification only comes up if an app is requesting a location.
This was the same in 2.1 although most of the time when you start the gps, it's from within the app rather than in settings so the location is requested immediately.
Hi,
as far as I remember it was like this on 2.1, too.
And I think it's right, you activate GPS and when it's actually used you get notified.
i was travelling and added a city in my weather application. came back home,and it stillstays on my home screen showing the weather overthere. i deleted the city in the settings, and it still stays in the home screen. if i restart the device, it will appear again the list of cities. what can i do?

What you're saying did happen to me when I was on some sense rom, but it was along with the other stuff mentioned in the thread above.
Remove the weather widget on home screen. Get GPS Test.
Try doing this:
1)Switch on GPS
2)Switch to Airplane Mode
3)Restart phone
4)Get a lock on in GPS Test map, see if it comes accurate
5)Then check settings of weather app and make sure its current location.

Question what's up with HTC weather app that has widget on lock screen and on home screen when it's first set up. The location is way off. Even when I have checked use current location it's out by 40miles or so. Then sometimes it works perfectly then goes back to ah here will do sure it's in the same country.
But Google now can be right so. I have location settings on WiFi and mobile data mode which is battery saving mode. But even when it's switched to high accuracy still the same.
Any body else have this problem
I typically dont have any problems with location and weather.
My problems with the weather app are that it shows the proposed weather instead of the actual weather.
My forced to use at a glance widget isnt working correctly. Weather and events (half an hour upcoming) are showing.
But when there are no events and its just a date it doesnt link to the agenda with a touch, it does nothing.
It should link to the agenda/calander right? Any ideas why it doesnt work. I did reset the google app and tried full share/privacy settings.
seems there's a lot of problem on the A2 Lite "At a glance" app...
In mine it doesn't show any events, sometimes looses the wheater (I have to open the Google wheater directly and then if appears again on the "At the glance") and if I hold down it on my homescreen and choose "preferences" nothing happens... same in the settings menu
Same problem
is possible to have weather on lockscreen without turning on location? For me (i use havoc) its appear only when i use location. After turning off gps, that dissapear
