Hello everyone!
I got my HTC One two weeks ago (switched from my "old" HOX). Really, really fast and well build smartphone, there are just two things that are bugging me and I could not find any help on the net:
1. Is there any possibility to set some custom location for the HTC/Sense 5 weather app? I mean the widget you can see on the lockscreen. Because I do not want to be tracked more than necessary but could not find any hint where I cant set it up properly. I mean it should be...I could set up some custom places in the weather app itself....
2. How can I change/rearrange the order of my homescreeens? I can create new ones and delete them, but changing their order?
Thanks in advance
1. Click weather and when weather is up hit menu. You can change the update frequency and whether to "follow my location" Hope that helps
2. Only thing I know is you can set any one of your screens as home. I don't think you can rearrange without deleting and setting them up in the order you want.

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.

Same here...I set it manually, but it reverts back after some time.

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!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747697
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.
My phone is currently at the postoffice, so, tomorrow I'll be a happy man
But. i tried my friends phone yesterday, and there are some issues I want to bring up..
1 - Is it possible to change the default "save" location for contacts? It seems like when adding a new contact it will allways set the location to phone.. not google..
2 - Where do I save mp3's that i want to use for ringtones?
3 - Have anyone tried to use CoPilot (Navigation) on this phone?

1 - On my Hero the default location is my Google account and theres a drop down bar to choose location, this is using the stock android contacts though.
2 - I use Ringdroid where i can cut my own songs then save them as ringtone.
3 - Never tried it, i normally use Google Navigation.
Hope this helps

How to apply the GPS fix?
GPS fix means your GPS receiver can determine your location.
This is no "software fix"
Is there any way to get the old Droid 2 widgets to work on the Droid 4?
Or maybe I just need an alternative. I found it really handy to use a contact widget, in a 1x1 form. When clicked it would present a list of the known phone numbers for a contact and then dial whichever one was selected.
I don't really like the wide banner favorite contact widget. It's nice, it's just not for me.
If I create a shortcut app action from contacts I get that annoying drop-down menu. It's a row of icons showng call, contact, text, e-mail, chat or navigate. Again, this is a handy thing but not what I'd like.
I just want the old Moto widget. It made it very easy to have a single icon on the home page for a person, but still present a simple drop-down of phone numbers. Very handy when using the phone in the car dock.
So is there a way to use those old widgets on the D4? Or alternatives?

It looks like the closest thing you can do for now is a direct dial for each number, but that looks like it's not what you're looking for because you'd have a separate icon for each number.
If you could find a system dump from a D2 maybe you could add that functionality by installing the correct apk. Not sure though.

Possibly. If you can find the correct .apk on your droid 2, upload it to dropbox, download from dropbox on your D4, then install the apk. I really have NO idea if that would actually work but it might be worth a try.
Or, Bluetooth transfer the file between phones........ or email...
But, those old Motorola apps usually needed every other blur app all working together to work... But good luck

Does anyone know why my icons spread themselves over 19 pages? Some pages only have one icon. How do i get them back into just a couple pages? My phone is rooted by method given in this forum.
If this answer is already given, I apologize I couldn't find it here, I tried.
Thanks for your answers
What kind of phone?
What method?
You can probably set the number of home screen pages in settings.
What Launcher are you using?

It's a Samsung Exhibit II 4G, rooted using Zerg Rush.i don't know what launcher it's using (if you tell me where to go I can find out). The 19 pages are not home screens .. they are application screens
If you haven't flashed a Rom and only rooted you're on stock touchwiz. I believe to fix that just open up app drawer and click the menu button and it should give you option to order apps . set it to alphabetically and you be back to normal
Yes, that was it, thank you so much!
Does anybody know an app that would allow me to create profiles such as work, home, other, with customized settings like wifi on, Bluetooth off, vibration, and so on, and allow me to place a widget on my homescreen? I saw a few apps that fit the description on playstore but most of them seemed abandoned and still had screenshots from gingerbread. Also it has to work without root as i want to keep my phone clean for Samsung Pay. I don't mind if it's a paid app.
Thanks in advance
P.S. I know there is tasker, its an amazing app i'm sure, but it's not so simple to use.

Been looking too for the longest time. EasyProfiles was my go-to profiles app since it had just about everything that could be done built in, including support for tasker and also Secure Settings.
But...abandoned as you said for a long time. It used to work sporadically on my custom lollipop, but somehow has recently stopped working completely.
I too am curious to know if there are any.
Yeah. I have been looking for a long time for such app. Tasker is great but its so complexe that when you create a profile you have to make sure your next profile has settings that counter the first. As an example if you set a night mode with an option to turn off led notification you have to make sure you have an other profile that turns it back on. This is just a simple example but things can get messed up quickly if you're not careful. When using tasker i feel like im coding an app and need to update it with bug fixes in order to get it working well. It's a bit too sophisticated for the simple things i want to do
