Hello,
Using sense 2.1 (rom gen.Y D2 R4/5) , "my location" always sets to Quebec, Quebec when I am actually in Montreal, Quebec. Is there any way to manually set it?
Else anyone has firgured out a fix?
Thanks.
::EDIT:: I can add Montreal as a location, it's the 'my location' tab that doesn't recognize that I am in Montreal and not Quebec.
Has this happened on any other ROM's? Also, what radio do you have?
Tried different radios with same result. This occurs on every rom I try with the my location feature.

When you say "my location" feature are you referring to google maps?
If so this may be an issue with the google maps application.
Have you tried various gps apps to see if the other apps give the same results?

Google maps reports my location properly on the map, it is the my location in HTC sense for weather/time that is incorrect. Is google feeding the data to sense?

Ah Ok! That clears that up.
No google maps has nothing to do with htc sense.
Sorry, I don't know much about htc sense. I would think someone has figured out how to edit it manually or has created a fix to point htc sense time/weather to an alternate server to give more accurate data though.
May be the problem is google maps.
Seriously, I have this same problem with my htc sense. If I travel further into London however, it seems to work, but displays the wrong location by about half a mile. But where I live it just doesnt work at all. I've manually set my location because it doesnt work.

Hmm...Is there a selection somewhere that resets/updates your location automatically? Maybe that can be switched off?
Not that I know of. If you disable the my location feature, it will still show up as "My location" but will not update.

Thanks!

I take it nobody has sorted this out yet from the deafening silence.
Very annoying don't have this trouble with Winmo sence on my HD2.
This is driving me and the GF wrong.
My location
Hi
so did anyone work out how to set the my location manually? Some people said they did in this thread but didnt say how?!
Hope this helps someone else....
go to world clock add your city
you have the choice of setting the clock to 'your location ' or the city ; select the city
now go to weather and make sure you have the same city set up.
this now fixed the problem where 'my location' on the home page didnt show the weather.
well it fixed it for me!
How to Set Location Manually on HTC Aria
I've finally figured out how to set my location manually on my HTC Aria. To be specific, I'm talking about the weather/time widget that comes on the middle home screen of all HTC phones. Mine is rooted, so I'm not sure if it's any different than a regular one, since I couldn't find this "set my location" button that everyone is saying is in the widget configuration.
Basically, the steps I took to set my location manually is:
First go to the screen where your clock widget is.
Tap the clock, then go into the second tab, World Clock.
Add your desired city
Go out of this screen by pressing home
Delete the clock widget
Add the widget again by pressing the + key on the bottom right, and then Widget, then scroll down to Clock and tap it.
The widget that you want is the 3rd one
Once you add that widget to the screen, it will ask you to set your location. Your location will be available only if you have it in the World Clock
Set your desired location
Essentially, you are deleting the widget and re-adding it.
Hi - I fixed my HTC weather widget issue by:

In it is there is a link so you can add your own City as well.

Hmm... I have this same issue. But I don't want to root my phone. My city (or better, village) is not in the list of cities of HTC Sense Locations. It is driving me crazy. Could anyone help me with this?
Or... How can I change HTC Sense Locations set my location by GPS and not with mobile towers?

Well, when I'm physically in my small hometown, the phone picks up where I am as "Actual Location", so I assume you are talking about when you are away on a trip? Maybe you can add a farther, bigger city? That's what I had to do.
What I'm thinking is that my village has shown as my location only two or three times. But almost always is HTC showing my location in wrong village (near to my village, but not my..) Do you know what I'm thinking about?
And I can't find my village (Velke Kostolany) in manual finding of HTC location.
Or do you know how to change setting my location by GPS and not by mobile towers?

Oh, I see. I can't say I've seen that situation. I don't think I have any ideas here.
Just investigating which one are you using for your Android phone.
I have tested Sygic which is nice but FC is high and Motonav which has good maps but UI is really bad...
So if you could help me to decide and tell me what is available for our andoid hd2 would be nice.
tnx
I use the Google Navigation, works quite good.
Only downside is that it doesn't show the speed.
I've also used Sygic Aura, but I didn't like it.

other downside is that it isn't offline navigation and uses phone data connection for maps.
I've tried it also but didn't tell you that i need "offline" maps too in the first post

I use also Google Navigation, and it is very simple and usefull.
I use Navigon at the moment, quite good but doesnt always take you the way you want to go, but all sat nav's suffer this. The trouble of knowing local roads I guesss
Im using sygic without any issue,but make sure you are using v.8.24 !
Hope it helps ;-)

If you plan your route at home, it will cache the maps needed,
so this way it works offline.
But I don't know for sure, and if you change your route, you will need a data connection.
While I was googling this, I found mapdroyd.com
seems to be Google Maps, the offline version (haven't tried myself)
I've tried most of them, but found iGo MyWay to be the best by far.
hi

any nevigation data for Pakistan ?
i use copilot, have modified the voice (italian) using funny sentences from public domain tomtom voices.. it works fine imho.

How did you get it on the HD2? Do you have to be running Sense?

Ah, I couldn't find it on the Market, and I was reading and thought it might be affiliated with HTC Sense or something.
Google maps will come with an offline version soon. http://www.androidworld.nl/84790/google-maps-navigatie-binnenkort-met-offline-kaarten/ (dutch link) This will save a lot in data traffic. I hope they add speed and speedcams to it as well.
The most usefull part of google maps for me is the very acurate traffic information, by far the best I've seen.
i use Aura sygic, it's the best GPS i've try on Android 2.3.3, can use it offline, just download maps before.
I have only used google navigator. I was most impressed by its ability to track my location and announce voice prompts when the screen is off, which saved a lot of the battery and the necessity to have a dash/windshield mount.
i use Copilot live. but i missed my iGo and tomtom on winmo
Try nDrive, it's ok, but I preffer Sygic

I agree!!!!!!
Dear all, my cappy does the following: I see that it tries to establish a GPS lock, then it stops and displays "authorization error" in a pop-up.
Has this been covered before?
I guess I figured that an app is trying to get my location, but does not have the permission. Is that it? If so how can I find out which app is causing the ruckus?
Thanks

need more info
which rom are you running?
which apps are you using to access gps?
do you have locations services and gps enabled in settings?
do you have a data plan with your carrier or are you relying on wlan for data access?
supl and ntp servers settings? if these gps terms don't mean anything to you, then you could search 'GPS fix' and 'h3llstorm fix' in captivate forums and read the threads. there's everything there that you need to know to get consistent gps locks.
if you still need help after reading the threads, then post the text from the file etc/gps.conf to this thread.if you choose to post it, then please also give your country location.
Um sorry for the shoddy OP. Replies inside the quote

CM10.1 Nightly 130402 - all stock
(the same issue was on my previous install ,which was a nightly from about a week ago)
which apps are you using to access gps?
This behavior happens when I am not actively trying to get to GPS. I have Maps/Navi/tracks .. and of course Facebook gets my location ... but this behavior happens when I am not in those apps. I suspect fliboard or feedly, but I do not really have any evidence.
I cannot figure out how to find which apps are trying to get to GPS and with what success.
do you have locations services and gps enabled in settings?
Yes I do. It did not have issues until about a week ago. I did install a bunch new apps, so I am suspecting them.
do you have a data plan with your carrier or are you relying on wlan for data access?
I have a data plan - T-mo
supl and ntp servers settings? if these gps terms don't mean anything to you, then you could search 'GPS fix' and 'h3llstorm fix' in captivate forums and read the threads. there's everything there that you need to know to get consistent gps locks.

I will check the threads ... but I do not have trouble getting a GPS lock. I fired up Maps and got a lock no problem. I will get those GPS setting to you.
Again, thanks for your help .. I posted this only half-thinking and did not post the details that are necessary.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a very anoying and bugging problem. After I installed the 2. RC of CM 10.1, my P880 searches a GPS signal and tries to locate me randomly, even if I deactivate my GPS access for all apps. There is no regularity for it. I have even deactivated the location access for Google apps, but I think that doesn't do anything if the general GPS function is deactivated.
It's not just that I hate it that I'm located without giving the permission for it, it also suck my battery.
When my phone searches for a GPS signal, it shows me a message in the notification bar, but it is only the standard notification which shows up all the time when you want to locate yourself with GPS. It says nothing about the app wich causes that.
I also looked up all my apps and their permissions, but I can't find any app that can activate the GPS and locate my phone. Besides this I haven't installed any new apps which could cause that, the only thing I did was updating CM ...
Now I use the stable version of CM 10.1 and the problem still exists. I have the feeling that some kind of system app causes it, but I'm not sure. I also thought of some kind of statistics which create an anonymous statistic about the user movement, but my "Anonymous Statistics" in the settings are deactivated.
What could be the issue or what can I do to identify the app which causes this?
Thanks

i noticed that on some of the roms i use too, i just disable gps completely untill i want to use it. (trough quick tiles)
What do you mean by "randomly"? Does it give you a random position? If yes, check mock locations in development settings.

That's what I meant with "even if I deactivate my GPS access for all apps" ... GPS is completely deactivated, but somehow an app can activate the GPS ...

I mean that the GPS activates itself randomly (or the unknown app activates it randomly). It doesn't give me a random position, but the time, when it is activated, is random.

Not in my case, the GPS icon in the notification bar turns on, a notification, that my phone searches GPS, is displayed and then happens nothing, but the GPS is still activated, it doesn't deactivate untill I do so myself.
Does someone know an app, which creates a log of all activities of the phone, e.g. "Screen turns on - App XYZ started - App XYZ turns screen brightness down - ..." etc. ?
Thanks for your support
Could you test GPS on this ROM?
I love this rom, and I'm using it. But, I cannot use GPS. Google Map and Here Map cannot detect my location. The Searching for GPS notification showing for a long time but app cannot detect my location. (Location Mode: High accuracy)
Do you have the same problem?
Any solution :crying:
I found solution!
When I moving by motorbike, I opened Google Map. And after 4 minutes, it could find my location. Now, I can use GPS without moving.
Thanks for everyone!
I find no solution , I feel the same
