I have searched but could not find an answer to my exact problem. I have the stock Spring 6.5 ROM and the weather information on my home screen will not update unless I goto the weather tab in which case it updates there and then updates the home screen. I have it set to update every 15min but I will lock the screen then turn it on 3 hours later and the weather info will still be the same. Any ideas??
same here bro, must be a bug...gotta go to the weather tab and hit update now in order for the home screen to reflect the correct weather info
Anyone has the solution?
I developed the same problem four days ago. Neither my location nor the local forecast will update, even if I do it manually. GPS works for Google Maps and other programs, and I can update weather for the major cities but not my location ... it just stuck. If it makes any difference, I'm running a stock WM6.5 with Cookie's HomeTab, but the weather was working just fine under those conditions for a long time.
did u select update when romaing as well?

For me, it doesn't matter whether or not I select "roaming": no update. I have tried every combination of weather and GPS settings I can think of, short of a registry edit.

it's not you or your phone...it's something with htc and the sense my location software. it went out on my t-mo hd2 for 4 weeks, then started working again. i went to the tmo store and the demo in the store was doing the same thing. if you manually enter your location, i bet the correct forcast comes up . you're just gonna have to wait it out .

You're right. Just now, the correct location and current weather update magically reappeared after nearly a week.

here is my issue. when i update my location keeps saying im in jackson. i live in ny not fla. gps shows correct just not manila anyone? ive updated quickgps. google maps shows me correct. its just manila weather says jackson. anyone have a clue..
You need to select the correct location in your time settings. From home screen, click the clock, and then select the proper city under "World Clock." This should resolve the problem.

And if that doesn't work you can always delete the others...
I have stock ROM - 6.5
Device appears to never be able to get "my location".
It always prints "My location" under the clock on home screen, that's all.
On HTC Android of my friend it writes there actual city name where we are.
I tried to play and enabled/disabled everything on location settings page (this page looks very differently on Android) - no luck.
How to get it working ?
Go to World clock (clik on time)
Add city (Yours)
And select it.
Have you tried to update through wifi-connection?
It shows even smallest municipality outside any city.
Even though it´s not in the list.
I had this issue too. The solution is flashing a newer radio.
I had this problem whilst being at home, at work it finds my location fine and updates the weather.
I believe this problem is down to the fact that if you go to the weather tab, and add location... If your location is not in there, it can not find the weather for it!
the same here! they have added just 2 cities in slovakia. a little bit stupid. accuweather have the forecast for us, but... thats a bit strange.

It is not "My Location". It is answer to "how to show weather in my city".
I didn't see an explanation how "My Location" is supposed to work, but I assume it should automatically display weather (on Home screen over the clock, and on weather tab) according to actual location of the phone.

For me it sometimes work, sometimes doesn't. I occasionally get some small cities shown as my location - with forecast, and they aren't listed in normal "locations" list.
It does seem to have some relation to WiFi connection, although I can't pinpoint the exact scenario. Today, for instance, I got small city located around 2 km along the route to the work as my location, and I don't think phone got wifi ever once (I drove on highways, and shops/gas stations etc are too far away).
Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages
With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
The stock weather widget never auto-refreshes even though I have that option checked.
Figure there's nothing I can do about it but use another widget, just wanted to note it here so others know they are not alone with this issue.
what checkbox? touch the widget to bring up the app. then do menu>settings. now choose auto refresh. mine is set to one hour and is working fine.

OK, so it's a radio button instead of a checkbox
I have it set to auto-refresh every hour and it doesn't work for me.
Good to know it works for someone though..
do you have auto sync and background data turned on?

Yes, it's on.
So I noticed today it is refreshing against the current location however the location is not changing as I move around. Is that what you are saying?
My stock (accuweather) app is also auto-refreshing. I've never had a problem with it.
But my stock news (ap mobile) only just tonight started to auto-refresh. Right after I changed it from 5-second auto-scroll to 10-second auto-scroll. And while now it auto-refreshes, it no longer auto-scrolls.
Both apps have always been set to auto refresh.
I have the same issue on my original GSII. I've removed a lot of stock apps (safe ones, of course). But perhaps one contributes to/interacts with the refresh in some way? Any ideas?
Hi
I am been using Android for long time. The last Samsung mobile I used is S4 and I was using HTC M8 (Sense converted to GPe) before S6. I have my GPS is set to High because I used to use Maps for navigation a lot. But in S6, the notification panel keeps showing "Searching GPS location.." very often where I am not even using the Navigation. Is there something wrong?
Thanks
Not sure if its due to the weather app which will check location? I see the same happening on my phone too.
My weather is set to update every 6 hours but I see the GPS icon in the status bar pretty frequently.

Thanks. The stock samsung weather widget was still up on the homescreen using the Touchwiz launcher. I removed it and will keep an eye out for the GPS notification.
EDIT// That did not resolve the issue. Oh wells.

The frequency of getting the notification is very less for me. I also turned off the auto syncing. I didn't see the notification in last 24 hrs.
