mightyrom weather my location doesnt give a real location...

Connect via wifi then update your weather, it should set the correct location, but it will change again next time it updates via 777.

OK, so since running Mr. X's 2.1 release for the past 3 weeks, I honestly have no major issues with it; EXCEPT THIS ONE.

I ran CFay's rom before that and it said what specific city/town I was in, as I traveled from place to place. Since I've been running Mr. X's, it only says "New York" no matter where I am. It's not until I'm out in Long Island that it will change to that city.

I installed Conflipper's database last night, but no change. Still says "New York" no matter where I am. I wouldn't mind it, if I didn't use a rom previously that was more specific. Any fixes for this? TIA.

Same issue here. I think by New York it means the city, AKA Manhattan being New York City b/c when in Brooklyn it says Brooklyn.
It used to show neighborhood cities in Queens ie Long Island City, Astoria, and Jackson Heights but no longer. I dunno what changed.

I know my thread goes fast, but i've also posted the original sprint geo service .dll that was in the sprint 6.5 rom.

I'm using a different one which shows my real location rather than sprints because it showed me Ontario whch is my province.

Go into my thread and find it I think its around 500ish post.

Or you can just click the paperclip and download the htc geoservice .cab i posted.

Mine will show the Data Center my Sprint Air Rave 3G hotspot at home connects to rather than my actual location. I dont suspect there is any work around for that since it uses the broadband instead of the towers/gps, right?

Thanks; glad to know it's not just me. Which rom are you using BTW? I ran CFay's from Nov-Jan and it always showed the cities within Queens. Then when I switched over to Mr. X around Feb, it just says New York. What's odd is that it used to show some bigger cities like Jamaica and Forest Hills when I was travelling. But for the past few weeks, nothing but New York.

Thanks MightyMike, I'll try that cab and see if it works.

grandzu, I think he was saying he uses the cab he referred to in his thread. I'm looking for it now and I'll see if I can find it.

I am running mikes latest rom and I haven't had any issues with weather location(I live in Georgia). I just flew down to the virgin islands a few days ago and it still gets all the little cities right.
