How to set my default location on HTC Hero Android weather widget?
So I just got a new HTC Hero with Android, and I’m loving it, but I can’t figure out the weather widget on the home screen. I can’t seem to change the default location for the weather that it shows.
It keeps saying “Providence (current)” but I live in Virginia and the nearest Providence is hundreds of miles away, and the weather is way different!
How can I change the default location that shows?
Thanks so much, guys!
Displaying weather in your location
If location service is disabled, you can set your current location and add it to
Weather.
1. On the Weather screen, tap +, and then tap My location.
2. When prompted to enable location source, tap Enable, select the Use
wireless networks check box, and then tap Agree on the confirmation box.
3. Press BACK. A blinking dot shows your approximate location on a map.
Tip If you want to adjust your location on the map, press and hold the push pin, and
then drag it to your desired location.
4. Tap Done. Your location information displays on the screen.
5. Tap Add. The weather in your current location displays on the screen.
Adding a city
1. On the Weather screen, tap +
2. Enter the location you want to add on the text field. As you enter text, the list
is filtered to show the possible locations based on the letters you entered.
3. Tap the desired city to select it.
I got the weather bug android app for my HTC Hero, it’s very easy to set up your default location and it’s one of the best weather app out there, I highly recommend it.
I had the same problem. In the settings, under Localisation, select the Use
wireless networks check box.
i don’t know why it was uncheck …
that solved my problem
i jus figured it out cause none of da above worked for me….you see, i have a Desire…so here’s how it works(make sure you have a data plan on your phone first):menu>Settings>Accounts & sync: Then make sure and check the two boxes that says BACKGROUND DATA and AUTO SYNC…..That should help
let me know how it turned out.
