My Location Switches to Cambridge??

[SMD]

My first post! Just got the HTC TBolt on St. Pattys day. Love it! Got the extended battery and its not nearly as ugly as I thought...in fact I like the feel better as it contours to your hand! So far so good! But that's not my point...

My question is why does my location and time occasionally change to Cambridge (EST) even though I'm here in Los Angeles, CA? I go to settings and switch it back in date and time but just now is the second time it's switched back to Cambridge after I powered up after the first big charge on my new ext. battery. Any ideas?

Yep... this appears to be a "quirk" of Sense. I've seen it happen on Multiple EVOs and an Incredible. You can click weather and the refresh button, or wait a minute and it will sort itself out. We here in NJ most often end up in Minsk.

Mine does the same thing sometimes......weird.

Mine changed to Luanda while I was at the gym tonight. It hasn't switched back to any other location in the last 4 hours. And I can't even manually change it to another city. I've tried turning on and off the VZW, GPS and Google location services (think the widget uses Google right?), restarting the phone, and deleting/reinstalling the widget. All with no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this? The weather isn't that big of a deal but knowing the time in west Africa is not any help when I live in NJ!

Mine switched to Payson AZ and I'm in St. Louis MO!! Can't get it to change back. Very annoyed.

Mine switch when I was on wifi yesterday, I forget where it was but it was 72 degrees out as I looked out the window and watched the snow fall, when I shut wifi off it went back to normal
