Current Location/Location Service is Off - Sprint HTC One (M7)

For some reason HTC weather won't show my location it just says current location. When I go to Google now it says my location service is off but I turned everything on. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

I had same problem, make sure google location services are on aswell as normal location services. That fixed it.

It's all on , still have problem.
I had the same problem. After I found out what to do i still didn't find it again after reading this thread.
But I finally found it again.
Sort Apps Alphabetically, find Google Settings. Goto location settings and allow Google apps to access your location.

I m 100% sure opening all, but still unavailable.
All I done was, turn google services on. Try turning gps on and off again. Or reinstall gmaps.

I've found that GPS location is working fine for me but network location is not returning anything.
It shows up in some apps like google skymap that try to get a coarse location instead of gps, none of them can get a fix.
So I tried a repair, no difference.
Then a factory reset and finally google location services work.
So chalk that down to yet another bug that may be fixed by resetting.

Should of just cleared data and cache in apps management. Google maps can be finnicky and this normally always sort it out.

It wasn't just google maps though, I tried a few different apps.
Things like flight radar and google skymap which use coarse locations.
SkEye was very handy as it asks to set a location and lists the gps location and the network derived location.
The gps would get a lock quickly outside but the network one would stay at waiting for location for ever.
Since the reset it is instantly populated.
Of course after you set a location it crashes but that's a SkEye issue.
The easiest thing to do was get into Google setting app that was preinstalled and enable the location thingy... Even tho I enabled it in phone settings, the switch in Google settings app was off, and I couldn't use maps, but as soon as I found this settings in app it worked straight away

I had the same problems.
I've found that clearing all the settings or factory resetting, then turning all the location based settings, and then immediately restarting the phone afterwards, leaves you with a box at startup asking whether you agree to google collecting anonymous data etc and clicking allow now means maps works fine.
Clearing cache and data for maps should also do the trick as long as you restart the phone as soon as you've turned on the options.

Turn location settings on and off then go I to Google settings app and turn location off then back on. Then on the weather settings select detect my location and reboot the phone.
When the phone comes back on you'll have a box asking to allow location settings, press accept and it should work.

[Q] Google Maps Now Requires a New Setting?

On my old device, the HTC Evo 3D, the setting "Location & Google Search" under the Location setting in the Settings menu did NOT need to be checked to use the GPS in Google Maps, Google Nav, etc. The case still remains the same even after my phone was disabled and I use it via WiFi.
On my new HTC One however, that setting NEEDS to be turned on, otherwise it doesn't work and says I need to enable it. Both of my phones have the same version of Google Maps.
Can anybody chime in? Thanks!
Just enable it?

[Q] Location Issues with Non-Google Apps

Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.
Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!
I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

I've got it too, however its affecting Google Now.

My Google now also isn't showing location or weather. The Facebook check in feature also does not detect my location.

I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....

Same issue here... I can't even get a basic (tower-triangulated) location in Google Maps with my GPS off.
