Default Weather Widget Not Showing Current Location...

Over the last week or so the Weather widget and app show my Current Location to be 'United Kingdom' rather than the city I am in.

I have tried refreshing many times, updated location on Google Maps and even reflashed my rom but still no luck. Has anyone had this problem and know a fix for it?

Many thanks.

Have you already clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider? After you delete all of these data, then try to update your location in google map by GPS and mobile data.

Tried everything suggestd but still no luck. Added the clock widget from Beautiful Widgets to see if this would make any difference but this widget just says "Null" instead of "United Kingdom"

I have the same problem. Wrote about it some days ago. It shows only Finland. Installed beautiful widgets, changed weather provider to : google, now it's fine.

Did Google map detect your location while using GPS and mobile data?

Yes Google Maps shows my exact location with no problems (GPS and Mobile Data).

Ive done what invisiblebm has done and change the weather provider to Google in BW and now the widget is fine but it still shows UK on the weather lock screen

I'm having the same problem and I've done all the above steps too.

If you open the htc weather app and press more details online, it will load the web browser with correct location.

Therefore, I think the problem is kernel/rom related.

Btw, I'm running the Virtuous Rom with the 1.6 beta6 Brick kernel.

I think you may be right. This only started happening to me when I moved from ARHD 3.6x to ARHD 4.1x. Is Virtuous Rom with Sense 3.5?

Im wondering if the problem is Sense 3.5 releated?

No it uses Sense 3.0
I'm going to try stock kernel and see if it makes any difference.
