If I'm not mistaken - and I've read it here many times - the information for "my location" is not gps based, rather it is info obtained from the cell towers that you are connected to.

For instance, "my location" shows me in chattanooga but my GPS shows me in the correct location in Knoxville where I live. Also, since i have an airave as my "cell tower" at home, its current connection is to a server in chattanooga. Last month it was Atlanta.

However, it doesn't hurt to try updating quick GPS.

You also want to make sure that location services are turned on as well.

And finally, you must make sure that location services is turned on:

Start > Settings > system > Location Settings. Tap the on/off button to turn it on and also make sure the "HTC" location Service box is checked.

Hope that helps.

First, have you run the carrier provisioning?

I had the problems a couple times about the data not available and it was usually cured with a soft reset. However, I have run the carrier provisioning right after the ROM finished flashing.

I have an airave at home and up until recently, my location never updated. Now when I'm at home it says I'm in Chattanooga (about 100 miles south of me). No biggie because I have also manually set my weather to Knoxville - which does update regularly.

EDIT: just realized that your profile lists you as T-mobile so it is unlikely that you have an airave.

No airave. Wouldn't need it anyways since Sprint would be really strong where I live if I was actually using it on Sprint (like I'm supposed to...). And no I didn't run carrier provisioning either.

BTW, are you on 21xxx or 23xxx ROM?

QuickGPS does download, but as said before, My Location doesn't seem to be based off of GPS. I read somewhere on a Touch HD forum that it is based on your IP address. And I'm on 23XXX ROM.

Hmm... For some reason my Hong Kong data isn't downloading either. Maybe it's a problem on HTC's end.

Stabb, read my post above yours about turning HTC location on.

Just wanted to clarify about NRG's mail tab fix I posted here is for Maxsense and GTX ROMs dated 8/6 ONLY, NRG said in his twitter that he's posting fixed Maxsense and GTX ROMs dated 8/7

I fixed My Location now... Hong Kong doesn't seem to want to refresh though. It works totally fine without Hong Kong in my list. Does anyone else want to see if Hong Kong works on their phone?

Maybe it doesn't like Hong Kong because I didn't take my TP2 with me to Hong Kong a few weeks ago.

Interesting, something about HK. It doesn't work for me either. And just for kicks, I tried Singapore and Macau. No go either.

Okay so it's not just me. HK does work if you go to the AccuWeather page though.

i hope so, but i doubt it. Bignadad's rom may have a lot of free ram, but the last time i used it, it was slow as shit and really unstable.


Any eta on today's MaxSense???????

(P.S. love u NRG)

Hey NRG,
Both of the latest 7/14 Titanium ROMs are missing the HTC Youtube player and the battery meter stays on 100% all the time.
Any plans to update? I want to use it for SPB MS.
Thanks man!
