Hi everyone,
I've received my brand new HTC One, after an HTC Sensation.
On HTC Sensation, I used the app "Select Other Map" in order to be able to launch "Google Maps" instead of "Locations" when clicking on the address of an appointement in Calendar.
I've tried this trick on HTC One but doesn't work... it launches Google Earth (i'd prefer Maps).
Any idea ?
Thx for your contribution.

Not sure if this will work but worth a try; (only really useful if you don't use Google Earth)
Open up Settings> Apps> All> Scroll to Google Earth, Select 'Clear Defaults' then 'Disable'.
Go back into your contacts and try to your calendar and select your appointment location again. Hopefully this should now give you the option for Google Maps. (My HTC One is not due for another week so can't be certain) Tell it to always use Maps, then you should be able to unfreeze Earth.
Wonderful ! This works perfectly and without disabling Google Earth but just resetting Default.
Thank you :thumbup:

When I make a short cut to maps and when I select it, I am always asked to choose between Latitude and Maps and every time I choose "use by default for this action before selecting maps. But each time I am prompted. This is annoying because I'm using all text icons so I dont want to use the actual official short cut for it. Please help!
That's quite odd; I just tried it on my phone and it worked as would be expected.
How are you creating the shortcut? Dragging-and-dropping the Maps application from the Apps Drawer to the homescreen? Or something else?
I had a similar problem with the phone dialer. After switching to CM6.1, it kept asking if I wanted to use the phone, or open contacts, and it wouldn't remember my selection.
I ended up deleting my existing shortcuts, and adding new ones, but it sounds like you've already tried that...

I really need an app that can corporate with google maps online.
I need to be able to MARK a position, and give it a description. And then have it store in MY MAPS in my google maps profile.
Have anyone come across such an app ?
My Maps Editor by Google
its free in the market!
Wont start, CM 6.1 RC1
use google maps on the phone
if i need to mark a location i just star it on the map and come back to it later on the desktop. if on the desktop i star it then go to the phone and hit menu and starred places. or go to layers > more layers > mymaps on the phone
you just cant give a starred place a description on the phone

In a pinch, you could use the "Share" functionality to send yourself an email with the map link and annotate it there. But if you do find an app that does exactly what you describe, please report back here.
I have postet a logcat for The error with my maps editor. But i guess this app is yet to come :-\

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.

I noticed today, that when I search for a shop and tap directions, the directions are displayed in the browser insted of in the maps app. I am pretty sure my previous android (SGS4) did not exhibit the same behaviour.
I am running InsertCoin 1.1.0.
Is there any fix?

Bro, hope you have checked this :

Thanks,
It was me cross posting in the rom thread as well. My issue is that I don't get the option to choose Google Maps from the Open With window when I search for a place and choose Directions.
Anyway I was asking for help in a Slovenian forum as well and found out that the issue is not Rom related, neither is it location related, ie. me being from Slovenia, where Google Navigation isn't available (but getting directions is). There is a person on H1 using the Android Revolution Rom reporting that he also only gets to choose browsers.
Also, one person with stock Nexus 4 is reporting that he does get the Google Maps option when selecting directions, while at least one person with a custom rom on Nexus 4 is reporting that he also only gets to choose from browsers.

Turns out the fix is quite trivial.
Settings - Accounts - Select the google account - select search - add checkmark at search at google.com instead of the local one! :laugh:
Presto now it offers me to select Google Maps.
When I open my contacts (People app) and click on their address, it doesn't do anything.
I can't remember if it was on my One X or One, but usually when I click an address in contacts, it opens it in Google Maps.
Anyone have this issue?
Same here on ARHD 12.1
It's because of the new version of Google maps, it doesn't seem to work with it. Mine was opening Copilot. If I froze Copilot nothing would happen like on yours.
I uninstalled the new version of Google maps and installed an old version and it works fine.
The new version is dog sh!t.
Here's the old version, just uninstall the new version first.
Google maps old

Is there anyway we can notify google of this ?

It may not be a fault with the new maps but rather the sense rom not being able to make the selection
