Ran a couple searches, but was unable to find anything S3 specific. I have all GPS toggles enabled (VZW, Standalone, Google), however, it seems no weather widget (even the default one) can get my location. They all default to Anchorage, Alaska.
That said, the phone has no problem providing a very strong and precise GPS signal/location to Google Maps, Navigation, and a couple speedometer apps I have so I'm a bit stumped on what the problem may be. Could it simply be incompatibility with ICS? If so, why wouldn't the default widget the phone ships with on the home screen not work?
Another issue I have is with the AppBrain app. Not sure how many people still use it, but I find it invaluable to be able to mass re-install apps (since Google still won't provide such basic functionality) I have from wipes and/or selectively re-install many apps at once after a wipe if I want to trim some lesser or no longer used apps. I thought I'd be able to do this once again, but it seems whenever I go in to Sync the app list, it force closes. Anyone else using this having the same problem, or again, should I consider this an ICS issue?
Haven't been able to locate anything either on forums or via Google searches. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure why I didn't check this to add to the list, but Facebook's Check In, and FourSquare both are showing Alaska for my location too. Seems only Google services and the speedometer app can get a read. Although, my guess is speedometer works regardless of location, so only Google services are really working.
