Ok so running mighty rom (current version) and when I go to update the weather all I get is a generic location it seems (ie: indiana when im really in indianapolis). It worked for a while now it wont update my real location and the weather for my location is wrong to. whats wrong? it worked on the first build of mighty just fine until I reflashed and never worked again. So annoying since I use it quite often...

BTW location is on and all

At least you're getting the right state.

I've gotten different locations all over the US and the world.

It can't pinpoint you specifically enough to give a city/town, but is close enough to know the state and general weather. Try updating again and see if it works for you.

actually, ive foudn it to be VERY accurate...for example, i live in columbia, SC...most of the time it just shows columbia, but form time to time it will show smaller towns that are within columbia (irmo, blythewood, west columbia etc) i was quite surprised to know that it could get this accurate...sorry ur having that problem tho

I know it can be accurate, but when it can't get a good GPS position, it just displays the state.

Well i am on mighty and I always get the right city. Now it could be night time and it shows the sun, but then i just run a weather update.

Its so wierd. In my case the only time I get the right location is using MightyROM. With all other ROMs it shows me Washington when I am in Ames, IA.

Do you happen to be using an airave or similiar device? I only have that issue when I am home connecting through that.
