Hi Guys.
I cant get the weather to show in the new Sense 5 widget. It wont show either above Blinkfeed or in the app drawer. I turned on location but it still wont change and underneath the time it just says 'My Location' instead of stating where that exactly is.
Is there something I have to do to get the weather to show up? And I assume I dont need to keep the GPS running constantly just to get local weather information.
Thanks.
Have you refreshed after adding your location?
Yes. I refreshed after adding my location. It still wont appear. How did you manage to get it to work?
Im not sure what i did i just know it does. What does it look like in the settings? I have Update when opened, scheduled sync and my current location all ticked.
It wont need GPS since it uses google location servies using wifi.
I have the same settings turned on, but I just noticed that after refreshing it, it popped up with 'unable to find location'.
All I want it to do is show the weather for London.
Managed to get it working after resetting the phone.
Sorry I couldn't help, i just couldnt remember how i did it despite it being less than 30mins before i posted!
I have same problem, try change your time zone for some Europe country and after save all settings and go back to time zone and chose back London, should be work.
For me help.

For some reason, my nexus wont get my location. The thing is GPS works cause im able to use navigations and all but no matter what widget i use for weather, i keep getting "No Weather Information"
This happens on Froyo, then i went back to 2.1 and it occured there too, no im back on froyo.
Any help with this?
Hi, has anyone had trouble with the weather app on the sensationXL,
where ever i go , the location on the home sceen weather app always states my location as the United Kingdom, and NOT the Town?
anyone got any ideas?
Mine is working correctly. Just opened it and for a moment it showed the weather for 'Lincoln' and then reloaded the weather for 'Mablethorpe'. Quite often the weather on the 'News and Weather' app shows 'Sorry Weather Currently Unavailable' but a manual refresh usually cures that.
My old HD Mini did have problems with the location in Mablethorpe, so I had to add it in manually and turn off the 'Current Location' feature, but the SensationXL has so far been faultless.
Refreshed it manually , and its set to refresth 'hourly' , then also tried trying powering down! When it restarts, its back to 'United Kingdom' as location??? besides that very pleased with Sensation XL
Do you know, after reading that I tried to get the HTC Sense page to load (which it still doesn't). One page suggested clearing the cache for HTC Hub and HTC Sense. I tried this, and then noticed that my Weather had set itself to United Kingdom. Aaarrggh! I tried various things which didn't seem to have any effect at all, but the final steps did seem to work.
Remove Weather/Clock widget.
Switch WiFi off.
Check that the settings in Location is set to use WiFi and GPS.
Turn the 'phone off (not restart).
Remove battery.
Wait 2 minutes.
Replace battery.
Switch 'phone on.
Wait 2 minutes.
Add Clock/Weather to screen.
Tick Use Current Location.
If weather location (still) incorrect:
Tap on weather.
Tap on 'more details online'. (This showed the weather for my 'Home' location even though the weather on the home screen was incorrect? I may have set this up earlier, but I don't remember doing so.)
Tap on 'Switch Location'.
Tap 'Add Location'.
Add a location (I used one near to me).
View that location.
Tap on 'Switch Location'.
Go back to your 'Home' location.
View that location.
Exit out of that and back to the weather widget.
Voila! Weather correct!
Don't touch any thing!
Hope it works for you too.
Well! After an hour, it started going back to United Kingdom.
Turning WiFi off seems to help, but it is still very temperamental, often swapping back and forth within a few seconds.
I have to agree with olyoh6696 that it must be something to do with HTC servers and not the 'phone itself.
For the time being I've installed the World Weather widget by Satok that I had on my Sony Arc. That seems stable, though no full screen animations.
Running a XL port, and recently noticed this problem when updating whether
Maybe htc accuweather servers are busy these few weeks with everyone so keen on checking the weather for snow!

Where about u guys locate? I am in Slough and it works fine on my Sensation XL
united kingdom in weathet widget
Anybody solved this. It's driving me nuts. I've tried several widgets which work properly but I'd like to use HTC one. Shame HTC don't show any interest.
I think its more to do with server problems.
I downloaded several widgets that use AccuWeather, and they all have the same issue.
I don't think its up to HTC to do anything about it.
Contact AccuWeather, and let them know.

had this for about 3 hours the day before yesterday. The only thing i had installed that day was chrome beta.
Uninstalled that, re-installed locations, cleared the data and cache for anything with a name that suggested it could have anything to do with Laputa, weather or any sort of location service, and then rebooted.
been fine ever since. I don't know what helped, but something did.
However, i did notice that when i selected the correct town manually, it was showing the same as the 'United Kingdom' was, so it seems like it was getting the right weather, but it couldn't resolve the correct name.
I suspect that Accuweather have updated their database again, and the htc locations stuff is using an old version. maybe clearing the data on everything and rebooting forced it to update?
I've had to install Fancy Widgets to 'fix' this. It will only work if the Geocoder is set to use GeoNames. If it is set to use Google or Weather Provider it will fail in a similar way to the HTC weather. HTC weather sometimes does work correctly, then sometimes not. Mostly, it seems not.
I wish I could find a simple fix for this, as I really like the HTC clock and weather animations. Perhaps it will be fixed in the ICS update?
Is it easy to uninstall 'Locations'?

My HTC weather and clock widget seems to work fine most of the time. I guess I am one of the few lucky ones. We will wait to see what the ICS update brings.
Do you mean Locations, the app? Have you rooted your phone?
If you have just use any root exploring app (Es File Explorer, Root Explorer etc.) and go to /system/app locate the 'Location.apk' and delete it. You may want to delete Location widget apk too?
Once your phone has rebooted you should be fine. It won't be there anymore.
That's if you mean the Location app

ICS won't fix it. It's at the data provider end rather than being on the phone.
Weather issue fixed
Hi
My weather application stopped updatind after I had unlocked the bootloader.
So I relocked bootloader and flashed stock rom. Weather updates is working all right now.
just installed ICS, weather stuck on United Kingdom.... Anybody any ideas, no amount of force closing and clearing data fixes it.
Turn on GPS and refresh, or wifi.

Hi
I have a galaxy S. I keep getting this message: "can't find your location..." everytime I unlock the phone or open an application.
My GPS is not on.
How do I stop it?
Cheers
Sam
Firstly, stop using funny fonts.
Secondly, do you have any weather app/widget installed? Did you turn on auto location for it?
I have widgets but none of them are weather. How do i check what has auto-location turned on it?
Well, do you think that any of your app well need some sort of location identification?
A better place to start would be thinking back to when this problem started. If that still doesn't work, try uninstalling apps in a reverse chronological order, so from oldest to newest.
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
Hi,
The default weather widget won't update whilst i am connected to my home wi fi.
When i leave the house or turn off the wi fi it updates as it should through my mobile internet.
However, it did work on the wi fi when i first got the phone. Since then i have installed a generic firmware (it still worked after this change_ and since installed the 434 fw from the companion. This is when i noticed the widget would not update.
I have reset my phone but this has not helped. My home wi fi settings have not been changed, but i tried a wi fi reset just incase but this didnt help.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?
Phil.
Weather widget might not be able to get your location using WiFi, if you set the widget to use my location.
Try setting the location in the widget manually.

Thanks for the reply.
I have manuallyset the location because that's the only way I can on this widget.
Since my first post I have tried my phone on another Wi-Fi and found that it doesn't update on this one either. The only wayi can update is by going into the options, changing my location to a different one then setting it back to my current one, which was already manually set.
I am concerned about this, not only because it would be nice to have a working weather widget. I like this one more than others I've downloaded. But it makes me think about what else may not be working properly through Wi-Fi.
Thanks again, Phil.
What weather widget are you using?
I've got Met Office and AccuWeather which both pick up location within the app, but the widget doesn't. They're designed like that though.
Google Now has a widget which updates with your location - worth a try?
The widget is the one called weather that is already on one of the main pages on the new phone. I actually like this widget more than othersi have tried, only because of the graphic. I will look at the ones you have suggested.
I am not bothered about the program knowing my location. This widget doesn't have that option anyway, all I want it to do is update the weather once an hour, at the lication I manually set, which it used to do via Wi-Fi but will now only do through my mobile internet. Also like I said earlier it makes me wonder what else isn't working how it should through the Wi-Fi.
I'm having a similar problem but with Facebook app and Play Store app.
To update anything I have to turn off my wifi on the phone, it is getting annoying.
Did you find a solution?
Cheers Rob

No I never. I had to start using a different weather widget. I haven't noticed it happening with anything else, fingers crossed as I'm still concerned I will have similar problems like you do with other apps
Have you activated Stamina mode?
Stamina may block Weather and other apps from updating.
You can add them as an exemption in Stamina settings.

No I have never enabled stamina mode. I may have fixed it I think by changing the .ini file
I will have to find the link and paste here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216947 # Note I had to edit in notepad on computer then replace .ini back to the phone. Root explorer wouldn't let me save my editing.
Since then I had to edit the build prop to get NFC icon working and used ES File explorer and managed to get that to save my editing on the phone.

has anyone been experiencing their traffic cards for commute all of a sudden stop appearing? Ive tried going to a nandroid, clearing caches, clearing app data, etc. For whatever reason they will not show anymore. I havent changed anything.
thanks
I've noticed that sometimes none of my cards will appear (weather, news, traffic, etc.) and the only solution I have found is to reboot the device which brings them all back. (N6F26R 7.1.1 Feb. update)
Have you checked the "Customize the Feed" settings page? You should be able to set your work/home locations and select yes/no to getting updates for your commute to work. I noticed that my work location was set to the wrong location yesterday (I didn't change it) so it might be worth checking out those settings even if you haven't changed anything.

It was working as it should for the last month. Had all my locations set, everything enabled, etc. and they just stopped showing up. It use to be if i was anywhere away from my home the page on the right would tell me how far i was from home. that never shows anymore. My work commute would also show on that same page in the morning and that never shows up anymore. i have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. cleared the data, caches, etc. nothing works. maybe google is having problems on their end
My traffic cards are found in the personal part of Google now not in the main page

Don't think it has to do with Assistant.
I like the weather card with 5 days overview.
It changes to a smaller 1 day card.
Clearing all data and a new setup of Google App brings back the 5 days weather card for a day !
