Default cm7 weather doesn't work
is anyone using CM7 having a problem with "news & weather"? my phone doesn't seem able to acquire my location to update the weather. whenever i refresh the weather, it'll say "acquiring location"...then "loading..." and then it says "no weather location available". i am also using an app called "minimalistic text" to display the weather on a widget and it can't seem to acquire a location to display either...anyone know what's going on here? if i specify a city (i.e., a "custom location"), then it will display the weather...otherwise it doesn't. my gps is working fine as well so i'm not sure why it can't seem to detect my location for the weather

any help would be appreciated! thanks!

I'm not having any issues with it. You have you location set?

Its working for me on nightly 40, just switched to 51 and still working.

Also using the minimalistic text widget, and it has my location and weather as well. Do you have it set in settings to acquire location by mobile
data, otherwise you'll have to have gps on.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core

no i don't have the location set. if i have it set to a specific location, then it works. if i want it to update depending on which city i'm in, then it doesn't work and says "no weather location available..."

back when i had the sense stock, i didn't have to have gps on..and every few hours, the weather would update on its own depending on which city i was in...

News and weather settings: [only what I have checked]

weather: use my location

No special settings under minimalist. Hit globals settings, and try checking define location. Mine isn't checked, but it still picks up my location.

yea currently i have "define location" checked...but then it makes me specify a location...so i did...and it works. but if i leave it unchecked, it doesn't pick up my location...and this is precisely the problem...cuz i want it to update depending on where i am...vs. specifying only one location...

weird that i seem to be the only one with this problem..cuz i didn't find anyone else with posts regarding this matter

Awkward. In location and security under settings, do you have use wirelessn networks checked?

I wonder if "The GPS Fix" would be relevant here?
