Hi, Is the weather widget after updating supposed to show the weather for the location that you in at that time, mine shows my home location wherever I go even if i`m 20 miles away, I have the "Enable Current Location" ticked in settings, my DHD would change as you moved around..!!!:confused: Any Ideas.?
Cheers.
 
I have the same issue.

Only this that seem to work is if you click on the widget and then in the listing of your configured weather locations click the "+" button then the "Current Location" button and then the widget updates to the correct location. However that in no way should be a legit workaround.

Anyone have success with it identifing your current location on each update?
 
Is there any kind of update frequency when you set the widget up? If it only checks every hour for the location, then it could easily be between checks by the time you get 20 miles away. Just a guess, Verizon hasn't send us as worthy of receiving our phones yet, so I don't have one to check on just yet.

Mine is set for hourly updates, I can be 20 miles away at work all day and it doesn`t change :confused:
 
Yeah, i have not been impressed with it, it shows me in a tiny tiny town called New Hope 10 miles away where every other phone i had was able to pull weather from Acworth the city i'm in. I am now using HD Widgets which picks up the right city and looks pretty cool if you ask me.

I do miss the weather wallpaper from the one x though, that was pretty cool

Edit, it seems the weather displayed on the lock screen still pulls from accuweather, which still has me in the wrong city :(
