Help! Wrong location -> time, weather, etc

[SeeEss]

Well.. as soon as I left work it fixed itself..

You must be in a weird Bermuda Triangle type area. Or maybe an incredibly strong pull (no pun intended). I would be interested to know if, when you went to work the next day, the same thing happens... dancedroid

The weather on MY phone won't recognize Santa Monica, California. REALLY???? :icon_eek:

Yeah kind of weird. Mine had the wrong location once and I went to weather and sync'd and it went back to my proper city.

Hey Everyone, the problem has FINALLY been solved. It has to do with GPS either being turned off or very low signal. In which case your Wifi begins looking for networks to determine location. Check out my thread to read up on the issue:

I live out in the sticks of Iowa and it plain just doesn't know my town. Usually it says one of 2 towns over a hundred miles away, even when my gps is on and maps shows exactly where i am, smack in the middle of town. Or sometimes it'll just say current location, lol, apparently we're not big enough to bother to list the name. ah well.

In a little po dunk town like this i can deal with it, but when i was living in KC it would have driven me nuts.

I have an incredible and had the same problem with the stock clock/weather widget. It would randomly switch from a town 2 miles from my home (which was acceptable) to a town 6 miles from here, then back again after a few hours. I switched to using a clock widget from the market, and putting the weatherchannel.com app right underneath the clock. It gets my location spot-on every time.

That's strange. I downloaded the weather channel app and it knows exactly where I am, but the stock weather app that came on the phone is never right... hmm..

That makes sense sometimes when I'm at work it thinks I'm in Bangkok Thailand. It even adjusts the time for me. lol

Is it worth getting the Inc? Well if you want a 3.7" or 4" screened sized phone you have no choice. The Samsung Fascinate is a failure due to the crippled Touch Wiz interface, the refusal of Samsung to provide updated OS versions, and all third party ROMs are unstable and have all kinds of issues.
