Default Weather horribly inaccurate; how to report?

Haven't seen too many discrepancies, but Charlottesville, VA, is reporting on my phone between 87 degrees and 90 degrees this weekend, when in reality it is in the 50's. When I tap to go to Accuweather, it brings me to the mobile page and asks me to choose between several cities with "Charlotte-" in it. The HTC Weather widget is probably pulling from a different city than the one I chose.. but it says Charlottesville, VA right on the screen.

Anyone know how to report incorrect weather displays to HTC?

Mine told me I was in Rio de Janeiro. I guess Brazil and Texas are pretty close.

Hahaha, I sympathize, but that's honestly quite hilarious.

Well my problem was i got no location at all in my widget nor weather app. Hard reset and different unrooted stock roms to no avail. It started working after i turned gps on and located myself on google maps, then i was able to use my location for weather. Then i turned gps to off and all seems to be normal.


So my suggestion is try to get a fix the first time to get it setup....even though that shouldnt matter.

It may be in Celsius degree instead of in Fahrenheit degree...
