Help GPS Time Change???

So been using my DInc and have just noticed something pretty annoying. For some reason the GPS in my phone keeps thinking I am in Xuzhou, I think somewhere in China, which wouldnt be so bad but my phones time switches accordingly. This gets to be pretty annoying as it has almost made me late for work a few times. Just wondered if anyone else is having this problem and if it could be tied back to a certain app?

Edit: Located in So Cal
 
Update: figured out that the Beautiful Widgets clock and weather app was the culprit and switched it out for the stock HTC app and now everything works fine. Left a review stating what the problem was and hopefully there will be a solution soon. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not. I will try out their widget again when I get home to SF again, might be a local thing.

Thanks for the solution - my HTC suddenly changed the time (set on automatic) so that it was 15 minutes out! I did what you said with the time/weather widget, IE took it off the screen and then the time was correct. Then I was able to put the widget back on and the time stayed correct. Strange eh?
