Default How to change My Location

I don't know why but it sets My Location to: Attleboro, MA, US.
And I'm in Santiago, Chile.
I enabled in Settings -> Location:
Location Service Settings
HTC Location Service

And also I accepted the prompt about Google location services.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

You have the Quick GPS app on your phone , run Quick GPS and that should help your phone find the local GPS sats . If you have google maps you could check to see if the GPS sats are finding your location on the map.
When I first got my phone I got some cities in NY state popping up on my location ( I live in SC ). After I ran Quick GPS it has worked fine since.

Sorry, but "I'm back in Attleboro"...I don't know why, could be a crazy cell tower? And even my clock goes backwards one hour...

Run Quick GPS again , it needs to be updated every 6 days.
Can't hurt to run it.

I did it as soon as I saw the wrong location, even Quick GPS is set as update automatically.
But I'm still in Attleboro...

Default How to change my location

I had the same problem with my Imagio - it said I was in some city in Spain . . . I'm in Birmingham Alabama. I went in to the clock and changed it from "My Location" to my actual city, Birmingham. From that point on my weather data also displayed for Birmingham.

HTH!
