My 2 day old note 8 uk on ee stock weather app on home screen says i live in a different town to where i live.its set on high accuracy etc etc.my note 4 says my exat location.this is pissing me off .ive done the update and still wrong location. If i go to maps it finds my location. But the weather app will not.it says i live in a town miles away.do i need to return this phone for another?

Could it be a setting in the app that you don't have set quite right? You've tried refreshing the app to see if another location shows?

 

[luap123]

I tried every single setting possible. I've reset the phone 10 times

 

[TechNut79]

Does the app have different weather sources? If so, can you try another and see if that makes a difference?

 

[luap123]

I'm talking about the build in weather app on the note 8 home screen

 

[TechNut79]

That I'm not sure of. That's one reason I use a third party app. It always has a weather source that is right where I live.

So is my new phone broken.do I need to get it exchanged.

 

[luap123]

I'm not paying this much for a faulty note 8

Google calibrate GPS location sorry don't remember how

Same issue with my app. It displays the city next to mine.

 

[TechNut79]

It's Accuweather? It's never right. In my experience anyway.

 

[luap123]

It works perfect on my s8 plus my s7 edge my note 4 and my note 5 only the crappy note wont work.so do I exchange for a new phone.

 

[TechNut79]

I wouldn't. There has to be a fix, I'm just not sure what it is. Hopefully one of the gurus will be along soon to assist.

 

[luap123]

Hopefully bro cos this is frustrating as hell

 

[TechNut79]

I mean it's up to you as far as a replacement. But a new issue could arise with that one and then you might have to keep exchanging. This issue might be annoying, but I think it can be fixed.

 

[luap123]

Hopefully someone knows how to fix this .

 

[luap123]

Google maps works so its not a hardware issue.imo all uk note 8 have this issue.

 

[luap123]
