Ever since I got a new u-verse modem, my HTC weather widget thinks I am in Illinois when I live in Ohio. Tried turning on GPS, deleting widget, power cycling modem/phone. Google location is also on. Anyone have any suggestions? This is very annoying. Thanks.
Edit: recast also thinks I'm in buffalo grove :banghead:

If you go under location settings you should see "Use wireless network" checked. If you uncheck that it will stop using that method. I am not sure if it will still work the way you want it to but its worth trying.

Try using Accuweather. It's easy to set up, and very accurate with locations.

all of the location settings are turned on.. yet its not showing the right city.. its showing a city that is over 100 miles away.
any way to fix this.. seems like a pretty big bug
Manually set it?

Not if your hopping states regularly
im lost, with the current city option you should see the city that you are currently in, that would be better then to manually set a city that once you leave you dont care about?
I live in one city and work in another. Instead of using the current location setting I have a listing for home and for work. Since I'm commuting 40 miles one way there is often enough of a temperature / percipitation change to warrant the setting.
The temperature is correct. It is the city that is wrong.
I live in Puyallup Washington and the app shows my city as summit view. Never heard of that city before.
When I travel around other cities are displayed correctly.
I am having the same problem since they JB update. I just drove from Sacramento to San Diego and my circle still shows the location as Sacramento. My other weather app and the Sundroid app both show the correct location (San Diego). The temp in the circle widget is correct, as mentioned earlier, but the city name is not updating.
Try to clear the data and cache of the weather app it worked for me when it displayed the wrong zip code for the location I was in. The city was correct though

Doesn't work for me. I have even completely wiped the device with a factory reset. Now I also have that JB issue of all paid app widgets vanishing upon every reboot. I hate this phone now.
Has anyone found a real fix for this? I'm in Minnesota, and half the time my weather app shows me in Texas.
I tried clearing the cache and resetting. It's getting frustrating.
edit: I have gps and wifi location services enabled.
Same Problem
I just got the AHD after trading up from the Atrix2, and while I love the circles widget, the fact that the location is not updating on "my current location" is really annoying, coupled with the fact there is no way to force it to update the location based on current GPS location or adjust the widget for how often it updates.
Anyone found a work around or what's causing this?
The only workaround I found was to turn off auto weather updates and then to turn it back on. Hardly a viable solution.

Within the Google now weather card there is a settings tab on the right, directly across from your location name (3 dots) ....under "weather location" what do you have checked?

Hmmmm, Are you stock? Custom rom? If so what rom? Are all location settings on (uses more battery)? How far is your work from your home? Do you spend significant time at home/ work? How much have you used your phone at home/work to search location related things or stuff with maps? How long have you been using Now? Basically Google now is guessing where home is and work is based on typical patterns for most people (ie work is 9-5ish etc). The more you use Google location based services (search and maps) the more accurate it should become. Sorry for all the questions.
For what it's worth my experience has been hit and miss (though I'm in Canada and that might have something to do with it)

Not sure either...perhaps it has something to do with the last update? I have had issues with it lately as well but I updated to a jellybean rom around the same time as the Google now update came out and was thinking it might be rom related but maybe it was the update... I don't know if uninstalling the updates from settings/apps would make a difference or not, I haven't tried that yet .
Just tried that. Doesn't fix it either. Ugh

Hey
My weather app always seems to just say MY LOCATION and not the town I`m in but when i first got the phone it was able to show it.
My google maps works fine and always finds me no problem but the weather app cant
anyone know any solution to this?
Thanks
Go to location in settings, untick everything then renable everything. Press "agree". Reboot.
See if that helps.

Yea, I'm having the same problem.. pulling down to refresh the feed. Don't have any battery management apps installed either... No idea why it's acting funky (and yea, I have enabled update w/ wifi and data)
*edit*
After eying my One for over 1hr30, Blinkfeed finally updated! However, the update was a few minutes late (said it updated at 7:33, but did not carry 5 or 6 stories that were available at the same time (did a manual update to test)
Try waiting 1hr30 and let me know how it goes! Do wish it updated more often...
I found this on htc.com
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
QUESTION:
Can I change the refresh schedule in HTC Blinkfeed?
ANSWER:
The phone automatically refreshes every 2 hours on mobile data network or hourly on Wi-Fi. While the phone is charging and connected to Wi-Fi, it refreshes every 15 minutes.
You can refresh HTC BlinkFeed anytime by pulling down the top of the screen. Pull down to refresh is now part of the many gestures supported on HTC Sense 5, such as the Mail app.
why is it on the setting for blinkfeed, Auto refresh is disabled and locked only using wi-fi? I want to auto update it via mobile data. Any suggestions?
I had tried to make my Keyguard go off when I'm at my home wifi, and it simply doesn't work. I'm using tasker and I'm using the same profile as I did on my SGS2 and that was perfect but the HTC One is a bit more trouble some with this setting. If anyone has done this and got it to work successfully please include it. Much appreciated to sharing your time.

I am having the same problem with tasker, I am gonna try older version of tasker!!
I just started using Tasker... and it really works funkily. I have used Tasker itself and Secure Settings, both, to disable the keyguard when I am connected to my WIFi... And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes while I am using the phone and hit the Android Home button, it actually goes to the Pattern input lock screen.
I am using CM10 with Action Launcher on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16gb GSM
