Ok I'm very aware that this is a known issue but haven't been able to fix this, basically the problem is that the current location weather does not update the info in my current location.. I've tried clearing the data of the weather sync and a lot of the other settings etc..is there a fix for this aside from doing a factory reset.. any help would be appreciated

Yep... I'm having the same problem. Seems like something similar happened a few months ago.
I too, am having that problem. If I tell it to cancel update, and then go to the old (un- updated) 5-day forecast screen, then to "more" tab, it does bring up the accuweather page in Opera - so the internet connection and the accuweather site are up. I looked for some sort of connection setting for this, but can't find any.
Weather update
Having the same problem here. I have data and wifi connections.
Same issue here.
Same here on Tilt even did a hard re-set as wasn't any posts and did change some files last night, the other strange thing is my Dash updates and it's AccuWeather too.
Yeah same here, will not update through wifi or data connection

yup, weather is ka-put!
Me too, i am using weather with custom cities, i remember custom cities weather is gathering weather information from a different server, maybe this server is down. Is someone is trying to use weather OEM?
the weather proxy:
http://weather.not2advanced.com/.... is down
do u have weather fix installed?
Same problem now in Spain.

I tried setting the Server URL in the Weather Database Editor to:
Code:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=
with no success.
but this is the stock ive the "fixed" version , dont work,
ok i look out window and see weather for moment..
It is working again now.
OK... I managed to get mine working again.
For those of you who don't want to wait for the not2advanced.com server to come back up, try this: Open Weather Database editor and choose, Edit and Options. Change the server URL to:
Code:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=%25ls
(Note: That's an Ls, not Is or 1s)
proxy not2advanced.com is working again now too!
weather updated works ,)
proxy not2advanced.com seems to be down again...still not working for me

Weather in Home Screen does not update !

The weather of the current location is displayed in the "home screen". But this information wil not update. Doesn't matter what i tried.
It keeps to be "Emmen" (the Netherlands) and the last update was done yesterday(just after i installed dutty's 6.5 rom). I updated all data in the weather tab and all other locations do update, but the current location doesn't. I can't delete the current location of change the place which weather info i want in the home-screen.
Does anyone have a "FIX" for this or any other solution ?
On the weather tab, did you go to Menu > Settings > Update > Auto-Update?
This will then update the weather on the home screen also.
Hello, I too have the same problem, the home location is not updated with a WAP connection but only directly from the internet (wifi). Maybe you can fix by acting on the register?
Ciao.
WIFI helps....
Hi totix.....
Setting up only the WIFI and lose the 3G and data connection helps for the update in the homescreen....
So thanks for this tip.
I wonder if it is possible to update this screen without a wifi connection. Should be possible, right?
How to fix this in the register is a big question for me.
Maybe someone else who can help me / us ?

[Q] Weather showing country as "current location" instead of town

OK, this is really bugging me.
(and yes, I know that there are similar topics elsewhere but none of them actually seem to help me resolve the problem)
Until recently, my weather application would automatically and correctly identify and show my nearest TOWN as the "current location". This also appeared on the homescreen.
Now, for some reason, it's persistently only giving me the COUNTRY as current location, i.e. United Kingdom in my case.
The only thing I've changed recently was to remove one or two of the cities that I wasn't interested in from the list, and added a couple of other ones.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling "use wireless networks" for location setting, and also I've ensured that background data and auto sync are both ON.
Google maps evidently knows where I am from the cellphone data, so apparently the locations data is being received from the cell towers. Presently using THREE as service provider.
Is there a way to reset the weather settings? I'm reluctant to manually clear all the data from the associated apps in case it completely breaks it, and I don't really want to factory reset.
Ideas, anyone ? Thanks.

my suggestion may be clear the weather data from applications find the weather app and clear all data!!
restart the app..might pick up ur town!!
Thanks Muru11.
Curiously though, a colleague's HTC phone (a Wildfire S) has started doing exactly the same thing. It just displays "United Kingdom" for weather.
He's on a different network too.
I'm wondering if the weather forecast provider or HTC have upset the database for our area. I'm going to sit back and wait for a while before taking any drastic measures!

Update : A search through the HTC UK page on facebook suggests that this problem is affecting quite a few HTC UK users.
HTC proposed a solution to one person, which involved twiddling a lot of settings and apparently didn't work.
Hopefully the issue has been escalated.

[Q] Weather issue

I have just recieved my Sensation yesterday and it is an awsome phone. So far I have tried the stock rom and a couple of custom roms.
One issue I have noticed is on the home screen it looses the weather frequently. It keeps my location with out any problems but I have to keep going to the weather widget and update again. This seems to happen randomly. The phone was in standby for 2 hours came back and it had gone again.
I use option use wireles networks to get location over wifi / data. Any ideas?
Any idea why this is happening? It is very odd.
Thats really strange...I'd be curious to know a solution. What are your current settings for HTC accounts/sync? I have found that there are two settings for the weather sync - one via the widget the other in the accounts/sync. What is your update schedule for weather? Also, might be that your location is changing to pick up different wifi signals but if you dont connect just refreshes your location and not the actual weather?
You know that could be it. I have sync set to manual so maybe that is it. I am stting in the house but my signal can change rapidly. So I might change everything to automatic and see what happens. So far I have:
Account and sync
Background data on
Auto sync off
Weather sync to update when opened.
I am wondering if I change auto sync to on should it pull through when it needs to rather than relying on the schedule? At the minute I only have a 500mb data plan that I cant change until April so I am keeping an eye on my data. I will then be changing to giffgaff which is truly unlimited so wont have to worry about that!

[Q] ICS 4.0.4. Keeps searching for gps

Just got OTA update to 4.0.4. Was using 4.0.3 previously. After updating, my GPS has stopped working. When using google maps or navigation, it keeps saying searching for GPS constantly.
I have cleared the davlik cache once and reset data and cache for maps and latitude etc. Will a factory reset help? Please give suggestions. Thanks.
Is your phone rooted? Then try to edit your gps.conf (can be done with apps like FasterGPS or FasterFix). That will help the a-GPS by locating via mobile network and/or WLAN. For that, you also need to enable Google's location service.
Without that assistance your GPS fix takes longer.
My phone is not rooted. I can root it, but is there a way to solve the gps issue without it? It worked fine before the 4.0.4 update. Thank you for the suggestions sir.
But you have already activated Google's location service? Then you should at least be able to get a coarse location.
Also, make sure that the device has free sight to the sky! If I remember correctly, sometimes it might help, to remove the battery cover for a faster fix. Perhaps you try this first.

Coarse location is available man but without GPS navigation doesnt work.
Okay, I just wanted to know to exclude a very long fix because of missing assistance for GPS...
I would try to deactivate google location service, remove the back cover and wait outside for some time to get a fix.
If the phone still gets no GPS, you can try to reflash 4.0.4 without wiping before doing a factory reset. Most stuff related to GPS should be in the system partition that isn't touched by factory reset (only data and USB storage).

This happened to me once, it turns out, my ex installed a spyware app, to find my location and read my text messages and call logs. Lol
