Sprint Users: call to report if My Location weather is not updating

[bobbyblack]

Okay... Here goes

Its not your ROM that your flashing, its something with Sprint and there system. Saying this because I called HTC and sprint with NO LUCK. So I went to the repair store and they ordered me a new phone ( that I picked up today ) Still no luck, So with-out leaving the store I told the Tech, that I was still having the same problem. 2 hrs later he came back with NO LUCK ( with 3 other TP2's, same problem) So..... Long story short, for a temp fix. Turn on your WIFI ON and it'll give you your exact location ( ONLY WORKS WITH WIFI ON) And I'm doing more searching to find I fix ( not really having to much luck ) but will post if I do. Oh... I'm looking for a way to change my radio (phone) to a stronger channel.


One more thing, just a thought.... Wonder if it has anything to do with the new 4G coming to Ohio? Just a thought.

traveled to dayton last week from cbus and when I was in dayton - my location worked! It stopped working coming back to cbus however.

I agree with an earlier notion that it might have something to do with 4g coming to ohio...

In Sunrise, FL (20 miles west of Ft. Lauderdale) here and was having the same issue, but have it working again after letting it run until the battery ran out of power then plugging it in and recharging to full before turning it back on (about 4 hours). I suspect that there's old data that's not getting flushed as the cause. It's either that or the fact that the GPS sats are being taxed pretty heavily due to the oil spill activity in the Gulf.

I spent a LOT of time messing around with this after the issue started occurring almost immediately following updating to Verizon MR2. Took a short trip south of Miami to Homestead right after I had flashed and setup all my apps, including Bing which I was testing out the GPS on and seemed to be working just fine. I remember hitting Update while there to see the Location change, and it updated while there but after I got back and tried again, it was still stuck down there. Tried to fix by unlocking and installing the Mr. X MR2 update (which is working great and I definitely recommend over Verizon's); unfortunately, it did not correct the Weather "bug" as it continued to occur.

Found many posts about the issue and tried most of the suggested workarounds (turning Location off/on, etc). Was resigned to just waiting it out as some folks have reported it automatically start working normally again after a few weeks. The workaround I was using was to turn on HTC WiFi Router then do the Weather update. It would also update if connected to WLAN or through ActiveSync to my home network - WLAN just had to be on, it didn't actually have to be connected (as demonstrated by the WiFi Router workaround).

Anyway, hope this helps someone else as frustrated as I was. Again, it's been working flawlessly OTA since running it all the way out of battery power and charging it back up before turning it back on.

I am running NRG CHT v1.8.5 and I also can not get Weather updates (It just says Data Not Available).

I had to manually set the location (closest location not even being that close to me). So I just ended up installing Weather4me and setting it as my default weather application.

So atleast when I click on my Weather tab I can get accurate information (However it still shows the "closest" location on the Clock, which happens to not be even close at all).

It only started doing this after I flashed my first rom, and I have no clue how to get it back to working like it use to (minus maybe going back to the Stock Sprint Rom, which I will NOT do).

I am also in Ohio and this started on the 2nd

Apparently, us Ohians are getting screwed. I blame the Aresonal.

I am in Cleveland on business and experiencing the same on my TP2. I was at Best Buy today playing with the Evo and it updated just fine (it said it was on 3G) Kind of weird. The weather updated just fine when I left CA.
