Weather apps (stock and 3rd party) don't update location

[Droid 4 Me]

So... I've tried using the stock weather so and have downloaded multiple weather apps, but each time I try to set my location to update automatically, it fails. It tells me I'm in Boston, MA (Medford to be exact) when really, I'm in Derry, nh or Merrimack, nh.

I've tried with my GPS turning on and turned off, no luck either way. I can put manual locations in, but no auto update.

Any ideas? It's happen with like 4 different apps, not just an app problem, has to be a setting or system problem...

Doesn't it get the location off the cell tower? I know when I used the Broadband gateway it told me the wrong info all the time because it was pulling off the gateway information.

That's possible, but there are closer towers to Merrimack, NH than Medford, MA. Like Manchester, NH, at least.

I was always under the impression it used Location Services.

What happens if you're connected to WiFi?
Do you normally leave GPS turned on?
Your screenshot shows that you have "Google location services" enabled - do you leave that on the whole time?
If you use something like Google Maps (with or without the GPS enabled), is your location shown correctly there?
You could use something like GPS Test: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&token=QM5UJaSm to ensure that your GPS receiver is working and the satellite almanac is updated.Sent from my rooted, debloated, deodexed Sinclair ZX-80 running CM -0.001 using Tapatalk 2

I was having the same issue lately after an update from the app RADAR NOW! I have used it forever but suddenly it could not find my location anymore. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. To fix it I did what was suggested above, and it works perfectly now. Thanks GSDer.
