Sense Weather app out of wack on my TB

[Realestatepro]

Hello Everyone,

I'm brand new to the android community and the HTC thunderbolt is my first Android phone so i'm learning as i go as this operating system is totally different from blackberry which is what I've known for the past 5 years... anyways for some reason my home screen weather keeps showing the weather from "Mafra National Palace" as my current location... however being that i'm in Palm Beach Florida i'm not understanding why its showing this is my current weather/location... I've tried finding a fix but cant seem to figure it out... if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

It is simply the lovely GPS on the ThunderBolt. You will need to wait for an update like the rest of us for a fix.

Mine likes to tell me that I am in Florence, Italy. I am definitely in the states.

Yea mine had me in California from Chicago yesterday. Every week or so this seems to happen. If you turn on all the GPS services and turn the phone off and on after that it usually fixes it. Once you are teleported back to Florida you can turn the two GPS settings off again but leave the last one on Google location service.

Make sure you don't have the VZW location services checked. Only standalone and google need to be, as VZW causes known interference with the two. Reboot phone

Download and install GPS status from the market. Go to menu-tools-manage GPS state, then reset. Go back into GPS state, then select download.
Reboot phone.

My GPS locks on instantly, and no problems with location.

Ditto, same here. But you have to be patient. When you reset then download, the update circle will swirl round and round until it gets a GPS lock and you see all the LAT/LON data. This can take several minutes.

I would do a battery pull then, but first try and uncheck all location services, then delete the clock/weather widget from your home screen. Go back into settings and then turn on all services including VZW. Give it a few minutes to locate. Then go to personalize-widget-clock- and select the weather widget. Tap current location and you should have your correct location back.

I, for the meantime, don't use the gps and set mine to Philadelphia...this way, it doesn't kill my battery and change location every 3 minutes when I'm driving through different towns

I've been in Warren, MI a number of times!! I'm sure it's a nice place...but considering i'm in WA, not so much. I have found that battery pulls do not work, turning on and off doesn't work. It seems to go back to normal when i get out and about around town. Waiting for an update...no so patient though. lol
