I have a D5803 and T-Mobile and this problem recently started happen just a week or two ago. I live in Ohio but my phone is saying my current location for weather and maps is some place in Salt Lake City. I have never even been there. It pretty much always says I am in SLC. How do I fix or stop this? I tried changing my location power settings and making sure allow mock locations is disabled. I am on the newest firmware and am rooted. Tried both with and without wifi enabled as well. Really starting to annoy me since I use Aviate Launcher and Yahoo Weather and now all the default current location weather updates are useless.
Anyone? Ive tried everything so far minus a complete wipe and restore.
I guess no one is answering because it just sounds too weird. Have you approached it step by step? Something like: empty maps cache, force stop any little application in the All application list that might resemble location or GPS, restart phone, install GPS status, go outside and try locating with GPS status,after downloading A-Gps data. See what happens. If it's still way away, then I guess you should hard reset.

On second thought, after you downloaded assisted GPS data on GPS Status app, switch off your data connection and Wi-Fi, and just go outside and try location based only on GPS. If it's bad, then maybe there is a problem with the GPS itself (hardware).

Give this a go.
My GPS has always been pretty inaccurate that it's unreliable, but trying this helped.
For weather, some weather widgets and stuff can be set to a specific place by text so you can also do that to solve the weather problem.

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

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.

My phone can not determine my location over WiFi or mobile internet. It does not work with the HTC weather widget on blinkfeed (just constantly shows no weather data available and annoys the **** out of me) Google maps or Google news and weather. All settings have been configured the only thing I haven't tried is GPS.
Im really annoyed as location apps were great on my s3 and my last HTC phone the hd2.
Anyone suggest what might be causing the problem? I wouldnt mind manually typing my location in but that doesn't alter (or at least I can not find a way to) the blinkfeed weather widget
Any help appreciated, I have had a good look through this forum so sorry if this is duplicated elsewhere.

I did have a problem in the first 24 hours of use - no location showing. Eventually I checked all locations settings were <ON> and then ran maps. For the first time I saw the GPS icon flashing and I did get a location.
Hope that helps....
Yeah a hard reset sorted it. Don't know what happened the first time, all settings were exactly the same as the second time I set it up, weird.

I had the same problem. Made sure location services were all checked and then just soft resetted and it finally appeared.
Disable the Fast Boot option in Settings. Then reboot.
Worked for me.

I've tried all above, but no success.
It worked for 10+ days, then last 4 days I only get "MY LOCATION" or "CURRENT LOCATION" in BF or Weather app.
It was very good first ten days, and extremly precise. I'm still on .13 version.
Anybody still having this issue or similar??
It's a known Google problem with about 6 threads here discussing the problem. Google is working on a fix.

My Blinkfeed only has United States option
Im in the UK and I am pretty sure my One is an import. It only has United States in the Blinkfeed drop down so I get no UK topics and services.
Does anyone know a solution?
Much appreciation

Hi people !
Since few hours ago I get a error in google maps which says please enable a location services in the setting. It used to be fine before that.
The wireless option is checked, gps is off as always. Also the option for accessing is on in accounts and services. All other apps are also having problem finding my location while connected to a wireless network/LTE/3G.
I googled every where and couldn't find a solution.
I uninstalled/erased user data/restarted google maps and also turned off and on my phone, still no help.
Any solution to this ? Thank You !!

Unfortunately no solution, but I can report the same problem.
After trying everything without success, I did a factory reset. Now Google maps location via network is working again, but other services still have problems, such as news&weather, browser location etc.
I guess there was a bug introduced with some of the new Google apps...

Thank you for your response.
So even no luck after the factory reset ? Then I guess the best solution is to contact Google directly and report the porblem.
I think I got this problem after updating google search
Anyone else having this problem or has a solution to it ?
I am also having this problem. Just started today. I updated some Google apps recently too.
I've tried everything but a factory reset but still no luck. If it's a bug I hope they release an update soon

Same problem here in Canada. I wonder it is related to the roll out of their new Google location services : http://mashable.com/2013/05/15/google-location-services/
Same problem here since a few days! Hoping for a fix soon.
So I guess it's a common problem.
When I turn on my GPS instantly, even indoors, maps finds my location right away. I guess it's probably a small bug.
İ have same issue too. Last night have had taken some pics.all have sattelite info . But this morning get some pics doesnt have any info.
By the way facebook doesnt shows location info on my posts.
Neighter instagram so on. .from turkey
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------
When I turn on GPS pics can have coordinats even there is no GPS signal.
It's an issue caused by the latest Google search update. I have the same issue on my phone. Beautiful widgets is draining my battery because it can't find a location. Really frustrating.
how strange, i did not make any update.
Same problem here with my htc one. After going back to factory settings it worked fine for a couple of days. But now the troubles are back again. Really frustrating. I can imagine it has something to do with an update of Google search. It was updated May15th. Approximately then the trouble started. Come on google!

Hi everyone,
Couldn't see an update on this anywhere so thought I would share this with you as I've come across this post which is some good news saying this location problem is fixed:

Hi folks,
Thanks for your help and patience while we investigated your reports.
We've determined that for some users running Android 4.1, the latest update to Google Play services caused Google's location service to stop working in some cases.
For those specific users where Google's location service wasn’t working correctly, we pushed an update which fixes this.
To get the update:
1. Open the Play Store app (version 4.1.10) on your device
2. Restart your device after 1-2 minutes
To verify that the fix has worked, you can open Google Earth, which should give a location fix after you restart the device.
Note:
- Your device will need an active network connection in order for these steps to work.
- You may have to wait a couple of days to receive version 4.1.10 of the Play Store app.
- To check your version of the Play Store app: Open the Play Store app. Touch Menu (three dots at the top), then select Settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see your 'Build version.

My ONe still hasn't received the Play store update to 4.1.10, but at least they have found the problem and hopefully in a couple of days our devices should be working again

So there have been a whole bunch of weird things going on with my Note 4. Anyone else seeing this
1.) I have my apps arranged into folders and I am finding that randomly that apps are coming back out of the folders for no particular reason. It seems to happen when I install an app or power cycle the phone but also sometimes it just happens throughout the day
2.) Google Now "always on" stops working. Sometimes when the phone is asleep and never works when connected to wifi (I have seen others on the forum having this issue )
3.) Iheart radio app, I can't get it to install with the verified app setting checked or with my Gear Neo connected. If I turn off my Neo and uncheck verify app it will install but as soon as I turn the Neo on it uninstalls the App
4.) Starbucks app won't install ( I know this is Starbucks issue, just wanted to list it here for others)

For number 1. You have Create Shortcuts enabled in the Playstore settings. After you install an app. It will put the icon on the home screen as well as the drawer.
I think he means when you create folders in app drawer and put apps in different folders when you restart apps in drawer leave folders and go back to the way it was. I also notice when I set time/time zone to manual when I reboot it always goes back to auto time via network. There is a few quirks but nothing an update can't fix. My opinion is Selinux enforcement may be culprit. Android L is probably what was supposed to come stock but it would of delayed note 4 launch . I can't complain as I really like this note 4

I have a Gear 2 and have the same issue with the iheartradio app and the latest update. There seems to be an issue installing the gear portion of the app and when it fails, it decides to uninstall the entire program.
For now I have reverted to a previous release of iheartradio version 5.2.0 which seems to work fine and installs the gear portion without issue, hopefully they will resolve this soon.
So I have found some things/updated
" 1.) I have my apps arranged into folders and I am finding that randomly that apps are coming back out of the folders for no particular reason. It seems to happen when I install an app or power cycle the phone but also sometimes it just happens throughout the day " I have found one trigger for this and it is Samsung's Kids Mode. Running the Kids Mode will screw up all of the organization into folders back to a certain point in time. Not sure what event it is going back to but it is always the same point so anything installed after that point will come out of its folder after kids mode is turned off
"2.) Google Now "always on" stops working. Sometimes when the phone is asleep and never works when connected to wifi (I have seen others on the forum having this issue )" Turning off S Voice seems to have fixed this issue
"3.) Iheart radio app, I can't get it to install with the verified app setting checked or with my Gear Neo connected. If I turn off my Neo and uncheck verify app it will install but as soon as I turn the Neo on it uninstalls the App" I installed an older version and so far it is working
"4.) Starbucks app won't install ( I know this is Starbucks issue, just wanted to list it here for others) " I installed an older version and so far it is working

Glitch: ‘OK Google’ doesn’t work
A few people have been reporting issues getting the voice command “OK Google” to work correctly every time. For some people, it worked fine when initially set up, but then stopped working after a couple of days, other report that the “Always on” function that allows you to use the command when the screen is off, doesn’t work properly.
Workaround:
They shouldn’t be incompatible, but some people have had success here by turning off Voice wake-up in the Settings menu of S Voice. Others report the opposite (that S Voice must be on for “OK Google” to work).
Potential solutions:
Make sure that Settings > Language and input > Voice search > “Ok Google” Detection is set to Always on. Try restarting your Note 4.
If you’re still having the problem there’s a good chance that a specific app is causing it. You could check your apps one-by-one. Start with wearable apps, anything that accesses the notifications. Alternately you could do a factory reset and selectively re-install until you find the culprit.
For #1, use the menu tab on the top right in app drawer. Click edit. Then drag and drop the apps u want into folder. That did it for me.

In there you see apps that last used location maybe that will help give you a clue.

That just tells me the apps that are using location. not the order they used it.
I have a feeling its FB. Esp since this phone came with some special version that puts a unread notifications number on the icon. I went into the app and turned off all locations settings. lets see if that helps.
