My weather widget for the past few days has not been updating the weather. I'm using the regular HTC clock/weather widget and it just shows my location. Yesterday it had my location as a town in Estonia and i live in Pennsylvania! Anyone having similar issues?
 
Re: Weather widget problems??

It is likely not the weather widget but a network issue. It gets the location information from the tower it is connected to. Mine said "Current Location" for a few days but seems to be working fine again now. I doubt there's much you can do about it, hopefully it'll work itself out soon.

Mine has been erratic since the last software upgrade as well. Quite often it lists New York, when I am in the Chicago area. What is that all about?

Like I said, its a verizon network issue....the network is telling your weather widget where you are at. Sometimes it is glitchy, seems like it happens more in certain places from what I've seen on these forums since I joined.
 
Yep, I had the same issue yesterday. Had me in some city in India and Im in SoCal. Maybe its predicting the future of my company :p

It may be that by default New York is listed as a second city in the weather app and changes to it when not sure about your current location. I deleted that and only have one, my current location, which usually shows correctly. What I also do is only have the Google location service turned on and if the weather location is off (usually only by a local suburb), I'll open Google Maps, let it lock, then close it and then the weather app will update to the correct location.
