Help Weather/clock always on wrong city.

Yeah, this is driving me insane too. When I add the widget, it tells me to pick a city. So when I search for mine, it is not in the list. I pick Detroit, since it's close enough. But when I click on the weather part, I can add more cities... and Canton works there. Then I delete Detroit, but it doesn't go away. And I deleted the "current city" once, which went away, but I can not get it to say Canton on the main screen.

It makes me want to explode.

I have the same problem. After goofing around with it for a few days I found something that actually fixed it! Try it and let me know if it works for you.

Go to Menu ---> Personalize ----> Widget ----> Power Control ----> Drag and drop it anywhere. Activate the circle arrows icon. On my droid it is the fourth to the right. That is the sync button. After I activated it if was less than a second that the weather app changed to the correct city. I really hope this helps!

My htc weatherclock widget was stuck on my work city location and would not pick up my current location.
Also my Googlemaps navigation audio was sped up like the chipmunks.
I also installed the google translater and the audio on that was in chipmunk speed.

I only had the preowned thunderbolt a few weeks and tried to use all the navigation apps that were preloaded.
I also had TWC, Channel 12 Doppler, Weather bug and probably more trying to find the best doppler radar to use on my phone.

Whenever I use my Google Maps navigation, it always asks if I want to use Navigation or VZ Navigator.

I truly believe I had too many apps all searching for my location at one time, that one or more of those apps overrode my htc weather clock.

Since the phone was new to me and after two weeks, I new how to use it,
I called Verizon and with thier help, I restored my phone after I backed
everything I wanted to save.(Unfortunatly, I had two start from level 1-1 on Angry birds.LOL)

Everything is working now. The tech advised me to load only one app at a time.
Then I could find out which app I loaded that screwed up my weatherclock.

Good luck to all of you that are having problems with you weatherclock widget.:cool:

I had exactly the same problem and solve it as follows:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Wether
Click Clear Data.
Go back to Wether and sync.

I tried the above but it doesn't show that I have "weather" running? I live in Irvine, CA and sporadically my HTC shows Soda Springs, GA on the clock when I first turn it on. I'm using the World Clock app and when I tried to delete "Soda Springs," it doesn't even show up on the cities I have noted.

Well, one thing that you can try is to make sure that GPS is turned on, go into the Maps application, and have it find your location. It may be that Google has bad location information for your cell towers and/or WiFi access points.

Then go into the Weather app and see if it gets the right location.

I've tried everything. No matter what, the HTC clock/weather widget shows the incorrect current city. Any ideas?

Try this!

I spent some time on an issue of the phone showing Tokyo time for the calendar widget even though we are in Reno. Tried all kinds of things that didn't work. Some great ideas... but they didn't work.
So, I just removed the widget from the desktop (hold down for a few seconds and slide entire widget up to the top until it disappears).
At first I was worried I'd never get it back.
Then I restored it by holding my finger for a few seconds were the widget once was and then selected the "weather clock" widget, answered a couple of questions and said yes to use current location. All worked fine after that. Correct city, correct time. Voila!
Hope this helps someone else struggling with "nothing changes the city and time"
Keep smiling,
Ron in Reno
