Re: manila 2.5 weather not working over the air
Do you guys happen to have an Airave? Cause I was having this problem and as soon as I turned it off my weather updated fine.

Does turning off your Airave force you into roaming? Best regards, -boggsie |

sounds to me like your phone is having trouble figuring out where you are... i am in wisconsin and my weather updates fine. did you guys check if your "HTC location service" box is checked ??? (Settings tab > Location ) i know that if i uncheck that box i get similar results to what you are mentioning... I can't remember how to get to that setting pre-wm6.5 sense 2.5 Someone else will have to mention how to get to it in older versions. |

On first read, I would tend to agree. Those of us affected apparently have phones with apparently are having difficulties identifying the current location. However, my phone does not (universally) have a problem identifying the current location. As stated above, if I am on WiFi, the phone is apparently able to identify location well enough (again, via WiFi) to be able to identify a location and update the weather. So the difference seems to be tied to WiFi vs. Cell Tower. Apart from knowing that Google Maps and Bing are able to identify and target location via Cell Tower triangulation and GPS, I'm not exactly sure how else I would know that the hardware is or is not working properly. Just to reiterate, this occurs consistently with three ROMs, but I have yet to check the stock 6.5 Sprint ROM. Maybe that is a reasonable justification for a flash back to stock.

Maybe it is coded or setup so that the location service can run if a wi-fi connection is present. Dont know. There is a toggle to enable/disable HTC location service - I presume for people that do not have unlimited data and/or for people that want to conserve battery use. I could be wrong but about the only thing I have noticed the HTC location service does - is figure out where you are for the weather info / location temp information. If you can find this setting in the rom you are running you can test it easily (just enable it and then go to the weather tab and hit update and see what happens). I know when I had it disabled my phone did some weird stuff (like it sort of knew what city to display i was in but the weather wouldnt update). As soon as I checked HTC location service it updated. |

http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD...-3g/m-p/388863 Adding "My Location" to the google search mix really adds a bunch of pages to the list of results. So this appears to be across different phones and carriers, too. Best regards, -boggsie |

Your suggestion regarding "My Location" and HTC Location service has really unlocked a ton of threads across multiple forums with this exact same issue. Best regards, -boggsie |
