DroidBox Location/Weather

[Raymond Ritchie]

Hi, I live in Dundee, but when I use the DroidBox launcher, it shows my location/weather as Chelsea.
If I use Google maps it shows my correct location.
How do I correct the DroidBox launcher?

If the launcher shows the wrong location, there aren't any settings to tweak, sorry. However, if you want an accurate weather widget, you could install a more generic Android launcher (Go Launcher EX (search for it (free) in the play store app) is a good choice if you have a remote with Air Mouse capabilities). You can then choose from dozens of different, configurable weather widgets to put on your new launcher's homescreen.

I played around with this widget and discovered that if I click on the widget, switch off the automatic location button, then click on the Yahoo Weather location, I can type in my own location and everything works!
FYI - I tried the auto location again to see if it would stick with Dundee - but, no, my new auto location was Whitby, Ontario, CANADA!

Wow, I'll let the team know here! Sorry for missing that, I'd been told it couldn't be fixed, and as I use a different launcher, I'd not looked too hard, my apologies.
