O.K. I noticed this once before and figured it was a fluke. But now my phone seems to think it is located in Velika, Pozega-Slavonia, Croatia. The problem I have with this is that I am in Oregon? What the hell? Google maps works just fine...

Any suggestions?
 
well if no one on here can help there is always the good ole reliable Verizon store. If there is one close by. I would also imagine that a rep could prob talk u through it on the phone. I would rather go to a store though.

U didn't download a Croatia app did you LOL.
 
My phone thinks I'm in Stockholm Sweden (actually in Denver, CO). Just started happening about an hour ago. Tried resetting all location services and power cycled, even pulled battery for a minute or so.

Anybody else?

Your phone is doing that because Peja Stojakovic is from Croatia and he was raining 3s on your trailblazers a few days ago.... :p

At 1:30pm today while on 4g I looked at my phone to check the time and it said 4:30pm. I looked at the weather app and it thought I was in Boston, MA. I'm in the San Francisco bay area.

I reset my location and the weather app updated with the correct city but the time did not change back to pacific standard time. I rebooted and the time went back to local time.

First time this has happened to me and I've had the phone since launch day. My GPS by the way was turned off.
 
Well, mine randomly is back on local time now. If anyone finds out anything about this I'd be interested to know what the heck!?!

Thanks!

You've been Punk'd. Okay, not really, LOL. But mine thinks I'm in Oakland, CA every once in a while! I just rest my date & time (in the settings menu) manually to Boston, MA and then later toggled "use location services." l
 
For the record, and on a serious note mine tells me I'm in Ross (NY I believe). Kind of funny seeing 40-50 degree temps when I'm in Dallas and it's been about 80-90 degrees here lately.

And Weather Bug Elite tells me I'm in Gary IN. I sure hope the over-the-air update fixes these issues. It only happens when I'm at home.
 
I feel like I ma missing all the fun. Occasionally I am in the neighboring town, since I live about an eighth of a mile from the town lines I pretty much write it off.
