weather on the home screen

how can i get weather on the home screen? im coming from winmo where it still uses the htc sense skin. in winmo, you can select my location, and based on the gps location, it will show me the current weather for my location. on my evo 4g home screen, it shows "my location" but wen i click on it, it just brings me to the desk clock.

i also made sure that my gps is turned on

Re: weather on the home screen

You must have turned some setting off or something. That's just weird. Mine worked right out of the box.

Re: weather on the home screen

I had the same problem ..when I originally set it up ..make sure you enable the use my location setting ...from the homescreen hit.. menu>privacy>use my location...after selecting that open your programs and choose weather make sure you have your city or closet location selected then update it if u already have selected it...just give it a min to find you the weather should enventually update on your homescreen assuming you still have your weather clock widget still displaying ...try that hope it helps

Re: weather on the home screen

Only other thing i can think of is 2 enable the Sprint location service also...(the compass in the taskbar) make sure that is on also...I.e doesn't have a line through it ...I dont know which action finally got mine to work but i enabled every gps setting I could find on the phone..lol..

Re: weather on the home screen
