Flipclock/weather widget not working?

[woop]

The flipclock works fine however the weather part of it is not working. I don't know if this is just me or if this is happening to anyone else, but the weather will not display because it doesnt know where i am. i have turned on GPS, nothing. So i tap the widget, go to menu, try to add my city.. and apparently no city within a 15 mile vicinity is listed. From what i thought before, the widget was supposed to use the GPS to track my location and give me the weather for my coordinates, updating as I change from city to city no?

It is getting very annoying as my home page weather says "My location" and thats it. Nothing else.

just got mine back

try this

make sure (obviously)
settings -> location -> location on

and then reboot your phone. i had to reboot twice the second time i got a warning about location on being on so i hit never show again and the my location popped up

Thanks that worked. I didn't try rebooting (for whatever reason, that never came to mind), but now its working.

still having a problem with this, It seems that only when I turn on Use Wireless networks, it gets my location, that is a couple towns over right at a cell Tower, now when I just use GPS Satelites, it just says MY LOCATION under the clock/weather widget. It is able to find my location using GPS in Maps and Live wallpaper, just not for the weather, Do you have to use Wireless Networks in the clock/weather widget, if so, I wish it would be more accurate....

I purchased Beautiful Home for my Moto Droid and decided to use it on the DI. The smaller home takes up less real estate on the home screen and doesn't look like it's in your face so much.

Press on the weather/clock and it will open up to the full weather widget. Hit the refresh button on the bottom left.

I lose my location form time to time and that brings it back for me.

My clock was still showing the moon at 8:30 this morning. Sun was out and shining, but I guess it thought it should still be night time for some reason.

It was listing the right location though.

My weather widget is showing my location as Providence, even though I live in Northern Virginia. I have seen some other blogs where this is happening to others as well. I have tried all their suggestions, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

yea, i know that, but you must have Wireless Tower on under your Location settings, was wondering if you can use that widget without Cell Tower configuration....

you need to check the Automatic Updates box, under settings. I have notcied though if you dont have your Location settings to Wireless Network Search, it won't let you have the Auto Update stay clicked....

Just so everyone knows, the update frequency straight out of the box is set to every 3 hours for the weather. I noticed this last night as it said it was sunny outside at 9 pm (must have updated last around 6).

Click on the clock, click on the weather, menu, settings...should help you guys out.

do you have your Location Settings to use both GPS and Wireless Network?

No GPS is off.

 

[tmatt]

No GPS is off.

well, when I do that, it puts me right next to a cell tower like 15 miles away, next to the side of a highway.... and when I just have GPS on it, just says MY LOCATION under the Clock widget...

I think that's all you are going to get with using the wireless network. My understanding is that is just uses the cell towers to triangulate your location. If you are in an area with a tower far away and not many towers, you aren't going to get exact results.

My location is wrong also, as it says the main city and I live in the suburbs, but it's not a huge difference.

ok sweet, i just wanted to confirm that, cause when I turn the Wireless Network Feature on it also messes up my Live Wallpaper of Google Maps, but thats good to know, now, I need to figure out how to get my HTC Wallpapers back so I can select a Non-Live Wallpaper.....

Stock HTC wallpapers? Settings > Personalize > HTC wallpapers

yeah, but when i click on the HTC wallpapers, i get a black screen, with no options like i used to, the only option is set Wallpaper, when I click on that a Warning Box pops up and says Phone Memory Full, but I know its not....

Try this...I had the same problem ( I must have accidently done this myself).

Go to Menu-settings-Accounts and sync-Background data (check this).
Without this setting checked, weather widget (and some others) can't access data.

Edit: Read the thread too fast, and I see you already solved this. Well anyway, just letting you know that if you ever uncheck this box, certain programs/widgets may stop working.
