Hello folks..
I have been having a problem recently with the weather widget not picking up native GPS location and always picks up from mobile/wifi networks..
I have tried searching but did not find an existing topic on this.. Is anyone able to get a gps lock using through GPS status application? For me it just keeps spinning and says looking for gps location when only gps is selected in location services..
I know that it will work when I choose mobile and Wifi networks too in location services..
Cheers!

it seems like the "Use wireless networks" in the location settings does not work properly. Enabling it then going to either google mobile page or google maps and waiting for about a minute results in retuning an error message about being unable to determine my location (roughly), anyone else having the same issue ?
by the way,using GPS satellite works flawlessly
Hello,
I hope you can help me. When I use google maps, HTC weather, or every app using location everything is OK if I use GPS or location is determined by cell network. If I turn on my Wifi my location is changed to different country. I want disable this wifi location feature and let enabled only GPS and cell network location. Is it possible ?? Or where I can found some configuration file about location service ? It must be possible some how on android. I have official HTC rom 2.2.1 - S-OFF by AplharevX and rooted than I am possible change system files if will be needed.
Thanks for every help
HTC Wildfire 2.2.1
Anyone can hepl me ?
Has anyone had this problem?
GPS is fine anywhere I go especially when on mobile data. But ONLY on my home wireless my gps location always shows up as Rose Bay Australia when I am from Connecticut.
I searched HTC rose bay Australia and found that there is a htc location here:
2 Park Street Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
(02) 9004 7860
which is like 6 KM away from the gps location.
I had no clue why its doing this. Only thing I can think of is it has something to do w/ the mac address and location it was built?
Its not the GPS, the location is being read from your WiFi router and internet provider. Turn off GPS and I bet it will still show the same location. Is your home internet routed through a VPN or anything like that?
Come to think of it , i just upgraded to DDWRT on my netgear n300
let me look through some of the settings
So I checked all my ddwrt settings and cant find anything that would cause it. No Vpn or anything. Its def my router. However on my PC it shows as normal location from IP service. So not sure.

Just in case anyone else has this issue all I had to do was update the mac address and clone it to my modem.
You don't use a proxy, do you? That could be another cause
Just downloaded the EU RUU from the HTCDev website and updated my Desire S even though previously (Gingerbread) it was RUU of India. May be because the RUU uploaded is WWE (World Wide Edition). Did anyone receive OTA update ?
Anyways, after update I checked Google maps with GPS satellites OFF in 3G network. I was getting Location unavailable. However, I was able to get it with 2G network. Anyone else faced this issue ? In 3G with GPS Satellites On I was able to get a location. In all cases I had an active data connection in 3G or 2G.
If someone out there did not get their phone updated yet and has 3G, can you please verify if we can get position on maps with 3G with GPS satellites OFF and with just active data connection?
I think, it's matter of your network or rom itself.
I experienced somethin simmilar.
I was on WIFI, and the weather widget was saying "Location unavailable" although it downloaded weather for my location. After couple of hours it was ok. I got mine location.
No issues on my end.. Works with or without GPS ON.. on WiFi, 3G.. still have to check 2G.. But you say it works for you anyway..
Go to settings -> Locations and make sure you have the Google's location service option checked..

I have checked that option and yet for 3G with GPS OFF and active data connection it is giving location unavailable. Any solution ?
Is there a way to make the camera location tags work with "GPS only" location setting
Short story: I use a mobile Hotspot which makes phone think it is constantly in one location, so maps and other location functions don't work properly since the phone uses the location of a wifi MAC address or something like that. So I need to remain on GPS only in location settings. However, the camera demands high accuracy setting to make location tags on photos work, which is stupid honestly. Is there a way to get the camera go tag photo locations using the GPS only setting? Possibly a build.prop edit??
