Since last week (when still on stock ROM) my news widget will only show me US based news, sports and details. I have set my location to be automatically determined and request UK news, but I still get US.
Since this started happening I have upgraded to CyanogenMod-5 & it still does the same (I did wipe).
Anyone got any clues, I have no interest in US news ....
Yes. This happening to everybody outside of the US. There are posts about it on the official Nexus help forum. Google have advised that they are looking into it, but no fix ETA or any more info.
Cheers, perhaps they want us to know more about US internal politics ? They might do better the other way around .....

I don't believe there is. I've poked around looking for one.
It is something that I keep an eye out for, it will be nice when it happens!
Lookin for one myself. I have seen a couple german ones. Can't wait for the US version.
I Found this a few weeks ago
I like it, but am unsure of its development stage. Hasn't been any movement on it since June
im working on one, hope to have it finished soon, been really busy lately but hopefully I can finish it by the end of the month LOL
I remember that tvguide.com had a Windows Mobile application out for a while. Just tried to do a search and couldnt come up with anything though. I used it over a year ago on my HTC Touch. I'm hoping that TVGuide will put out another new app for Android so that you can set reminders for certain shows.
Hi,
I'm the developer for BBC News Mobile the free app on the marketplace at the moment. see http://grippers.co.uk
I've been working on push notifications for breaking news and have put together the various servers and system and its nearly ready to go live to the marketplace. However, I'd really like to test it out on a smaller scale first.
Please get in touch if you would be willing to test out the app first.
//Now Closed got enough offers to run with. Thanks to all those who got in touch
//Either reply here or email info[at]grippers.co.uk
Thanks in advance,
Update 30.01
Had really great feedback from the testers I currently have on board and have a boat load of emails for others willing to test. So thanks to everyone who got in touch should get back to you with a new build soon.

Hi mate, i would test this out for you.
I have a htc trophy n the UK.
Excellent!
Drop me an email and will sort out a xap file to send over to you.
Anyone else interested?
Count me in man - be good to get some decent news here in germany
See PM for my e-mail address.
count me in
Excellent, Thanks all for replies have send pms to everyone.
Any more interested?
Hi already use your app so would love to try the new version
Also use your current one, would be up for the beta as well.
Cheers
I'd love to beta-test as well. HTC HD7 in the US
i would like to test either from Portugal... thks
I would like to test belgium
Unlocked device?
Hi
I currently use BBC News Mobile on my HTC 7 Mozart. I've even got it pinned to the start screen.
My device is not developer unlocked so I am not sure I can load the beta version onto it, but if there is a way, please let me know and I am happy to beta test it.
The two features I would like to see are live tile updates, i.e. with the number of new stories. Also, toast notifications for breaking news alerts would be good. I get the BBC News Breaking News alert emails but there are no toast notifications for emails, yet!
Cheers

Thanks for all the offers. Moving all the stuff over to Azure from my dev environment is taking a bit longer than I thought but will be getting in touch soon.
Hey man, I'd happily beta test too.
Dev unlocked Omnia7 in UK.
count me in - dev unlocked hd7 from austria
i'm in too
Developer unlocked in Holland
I'll test it as well. Developer unlocked USA. Just a side-note be careful when you publish your app you need to go strong the 7appslab guy post's under a few screen names on competing apps he did it to my CNN app. Let us know here when it is done and we can give you an honest review before he swoops in and trys to knock you down.
Amazing thank you all for the offers to help!
Just a quick note to be able to run the beta build you will need to have an unlocked phone and use toms xap installer.
I should have got in touch with all, if I haven't please get in touch.
The build is just about ready to go. I'm just waiting on the Azure instance to finish deploying and then it's all ready to go. So hopefully will be sending out the build some time tomorrow to the people I have heard from.
If you still need someone, I'd be interested.
I have numerous unlocked phones (HD7, Quantum, Focus, Mozart...)
Once again thanks for all the offers.
I've currently running a very limited beta with 2 people (big thanks to calum and and Neil) if that all goes well I will get in touch with more people to expand.
Fingers crossed it goes well!

UPDATE (14th June 2011):
We are now over the 10,000 mark.
I have now spoken with Motorola and gotten confirmation that Motorola plan to unlock every device that will get an update in the second half of this year. This will include maintenance & firmware updates, but is still subject to Carrier approval.
The promising sign is that Verizon has already allowed Motorola to unlock a device on their network, the Xoom, which utilizes the unlockable/re-lockable model that Motorola intends on using across their devices.
I'm still looking to work with Motorola in the coming months to help see if we can make this a smooth process for Motorola and the community.
You can read the article here:
http://ausdroid.net/2011/06/14/an-u...witter&utm_campaign=Feed:+ausdroid+(Ausdroid)
Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.
UPDATE (26th April 2011):
We are now at ~8,700 mark.
Motorola has now responded to me, stating that they are looking at unlocking bootloaders across their devices late 2011.
The article for the story can be found here:
http://ausdroid.net/2011/04/26/the-little-aussie-taking-on-motorola-u-s/#more-8184
We're still seeking clarity around whether this will be for current devices or only future devices.
I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of everyone here. You guys and girls have been a huge support and help me turn this snowball into a wrecking ball.
Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.
Previous Update (4th April 2011):
We are now at ~7600 mark.
We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.
I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.
I'm also looking to see if anyone is interested in helping me Moderate the page. Please PM if you are.
Original Post:
Hi All,
I have created a Groubal (online petition) to get a response from Motorola on it's bootloader policy.
>>This petition started for the Atrix, but I made sure that it was for Motorola's overall Bootloader Policy. I have reached 200 signatures in 2 weeks, but now believe it's time to expand this out of the Atrix space and into the larger Motorola Dev community.
Ok guys, we now have nearly 800 signatures, nearly 500 in one night alone.
Keep up the great work everyone, this wouldn't be going anywhere without your support.

It would be even better if we could get XDA to post it as an announcement across all the forums, but unfortunately I don't know any of the administrators well enough to do it.
If you want to champion that for us, that would be greatly appreciate. I'm starting to find myself spread to thin on this one.
Groubal has been attacked again!
Hello Irwin,
Yes indeed...Groubal was hacked once again. We have our technical team and our hosting enterprise working feverishly on this to remedy the problem.
Clearly your petition and all your supporters have touched off serious nerves; and your message has created amazing awareness around the world now.
We will fix the problem and move forward. Please take the time to let everyone know on all the forums what has happened to Groubal.
Thanks in advance,
Groubal Customer Care

Just sent this tip to Engadget.com
Please shed some light on the petition by the Android user community requesting that Motorola to unlock the bootloaders on their Droid phones. Smartphones are not just phones that can browse the web, they are mobile computing devices that can make phone calls.
We pay a large sum of money to own these mobile computing devices but we are not able to modify the operating system like any other personal computer that each of us own.

Thanks everyone for the support, Motorola has noticed us.
Updated OP.
I had not realized that you posted on the dx forum. I found a list where you have posted. I've been posting to milestone 2, fascinate, and facebook. I will keep these 3 up to date with the info you pass out.
Updated OP.
New Facebook Page!
SIGNED!!!!!
We need to get as many ppl to sign this as we can.
signed!!
moto and other manufactures need to stop this!! if we buy a device...we have the right to do what we want with it...its our money!!!
Signed. I'm rocking a Thunderbolt right now, but I still play with my Droid X from time to time.
I made a huge mistake after refreshing the order page all night and placing my order first thing. I new it was too easy to be true. I put a P.O. box as my address, my order was canceled and I wasnt able to get another one with the huge mess that the play store was once everyone started to crash the site. I have been emailing a couple of reps trying to get them to let me know when new stock is available. They said they will keep my email and let me know as soon as they do. I dont really trust them though. So lets all keep each other informed here if we are still waiting to order our nexus 4. Thanks. Ill update this post as soon as I hear something. I am in the US but if any other country hears anything first letting us know would give us a heads up also. Thanks
Please use the existing Play Store thread or wait until there is actual concrete information to post. Otherwise these threads will be 800 pages of speculation and chat only to end up in a new thread being created when there is concrete information to post.

in the dark about Lollipop/EMUI update
I'm wondering why Huawei has decided that, besides delivering the option to beta-test, not to inform us on at least an idea of when the update will come out.
I think it's just strange that they do give out the beta and have the testing period come and go without even the smallest bit of info.
What about "The beta testing period has ended and we would like to thank everyone who has helped us by updating and giving feedback, we're going to work to improve your huawei experience to the fullest."
Or even "Keep in mind that delays are definitely a possibility but we are trying to get the update out to your ascend p7 before the end of oktober"? That would relieve so much of the tension that I see on multiple social media channels and to some extent this forum.
I just want to start a discussion though if you have any info I'd appreciate it a lot.
