I am torn between the Sensation and the SGII (like a lot of people) But I have a question that I can't find the answer to.
When I got my Hero two years ago the weather widget used to display and change my location as I went from village to village.
Then something happened and it now only displays major towns.
My Desire (work phone) also does this.


Has this been fixed in the Sensation?

Many thanks,

Ed

Not sure if that's a problem with the phone. That's more based in whether Google has GPS on that area. The weather (even though it'll say for a small village, will actually only be for the nearest big town)

Although I've only had a Desire, so I didn't know what it used to be like.
 
I received this from HTC last December:


Dear Ed,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With regards to your email, i can help you with that.

We are aware there is an issue with the weather not updating the right location or location is showing as UK.

It seems that there is a problem with a third-party location database not having every town required. We are working with the supplier of the location data to resolve the issue. On some occasions it could just be a setting in your phone. Can you just check some settings for me, please go to - Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync > 'Auto-Sync' and tick this box. Also, go to Menu > Settings > Location and check both boxes. Then reboot.

Im very sorry for an incontinence this has caused.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

So, are they going to do anything about it?

Doubt it. It's not a big enough problem and well it's the UK. I'm in ESSEX and many of the villages here barely get 3G. :/
