Turn on Google Location in google maps and that should do it.
I've had the same problem sice I first got my Leo. I did a search and found another thread on the subject (can't remember where!). Unfortunately it fizzled out before a proper solution was found. But from what I remember of it, the post above is on the right track.
The weather effect on the Today screen is tied in to the 'My Location' function on the Weather screen, which in turn gets your current location from Google Maps.
If the 'My Location' feature on Google Maps doesn't work, your weather will not update on the Weather screen and therefore the weather effect will not work on the Today screen.
Also, and this is particularly frustating, even when the 'My Location' feature on Google Maps does work (as mine does), often the feature still does not work! This seems to be dependent on your actual location in the country...
I also remember seeing some older posts from the States saying that the 'My Location' service in Google Maps is 'switched off' for many US providers. But that may be out of date, by now...
Maybe the above will give you some useful keywords to run through search engines...
Good luck!
I've NEVER had the "my location" feature working, either on my HD with a Leo ROM, or on my HD2. None of the suggestions on the forums have worked for me either, so I've given up on it.
You can remove "my location" from your weather tab with the cab by Dutty at the bottom of this post...

Once you've done that, manually add your own city/cities and then go to the home tab, click the clock, and make sure you have your city selected. Then, you should get get the weather for your selected city.
That's the way I've got it anyway, and it works for me. I'd like "my location" working, but I don't travel so much that I can't keep track of where I am myself! lol
Good luck!
Spot on, JohnC...!
I'd always missed out the step of choosing one of the manually selected locations in the WorldClock app before. That was why it wouldn't work for me.
I'm still hoping for a solution to the 'My Location' problem though, so I'm leaving that switched on for the moment...
Btw... If you find you cannot select your own town/city because it is not available in the list, you should do a search on here for 'WeatherCityEditor', which is a nice little tool that will allow you to add more towns...
fixed it now, basically it was the location thingy, i had disabled it ages ago in the hope of saving battery or something like that lol, its back on now
I'd followed your step but still cannot back to weather wallpaper.
Help me please

So you have the little weather icon under your clock, but you don't have the full screen weather effect? If that's the case you just need to tap menu on the home tab, press home wallpaper and select weather wallpaper.
I personally had to disable My Location because it defaulted on my whole state as opposed to me city so it wasn't entirely accurate. But even though I've manually set my location, it still sometimes defaults to 'My Location' on the home tab and I need to tap the clock and reselect my city. Any fix for this?

I have a problem with weather auto-update function on Miri 3.2 (1.66 ROM), I have only one city in weather tab set to update automatically every 1 hour, but it doesn't do it at all!
If I go to weather tab the weather update fine, but otherwise it doesn't do it.
I don't use "My location" function, I also enabled/disabled HTC location services but it doesn't change anything.
Any ideas on this, anyone experienced this ? Thanks
many of us have this mate, no fix that i know of yet. what you can do is add your city manually and select it under the home screen. why do you want it to update automatically anyway?
The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.
Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing
Confusing, yes
Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.
author unknown. It's better that way.
sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!
All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".
Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.
On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.
When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.
The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.
Anyone else with this problem?

Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.
hope this helps

I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
On the home screen in sense, it says im somewhere im not.
Its never my acctual location (Its over 100miles away....)
When I go to the weather tab > remove location
The location isn't listed!
Even though it clearly shows my location, and this other location on the app..
What the hell do i do?
thanks everyone
im curious to this as well it seems i have an "invisible my location, location" haha. I always have to actually input my city in the time and then i get the actual weather for my city.
hey you guys, i had to reflash my phone today, and when i was at the homescreen instead of showing the weather for my city, it showed the weather for somewhere else. i added my city , and tried to remove the one it shows up now, but there wasnt a option to remove it, just to remove the city i put in. help anyone????????
make sure your gps postioning is on then it will change cites based on gps
yeah i tried that but it always seems to get my city wrong, so i found out that if u hit the clock on the home screen it will give u the option to change cities

Nothing to do with gps, my location doesnt use gps. It gets the data from the phone masts.
Go to the weather tab. Place your finger on the screen and swipe down until your location comes up. Go back to home tab. Weather should match.
Hi everyone.
I've got this problem after upgrading to 2.2. The thing is that, when set to "current location" my weather widget doesn't give me the name of my town but just says "current location". The weather conditions are exactly the same as ones that I would get if I added my town manually, it just can't show the name.
I tried almost everything I could, removing and re-adding clock and weather widgets, turning off and on gps and/or wireless, clearing cache for widgets, soft resetting the phone, but nothing worked. When I remove the clock from the main screen and re-add it again it knows somehow where my "home" is, but it won't work for the weaher.
I tried some other widgets (beautiful widgets, animated weather...) and they could recognize my true location with no problems. Maps and Latitude apps both locate me very precisely. iGo does that too.
Everything worked well before the upgrade so I am thinking about reverting it to v2.1 somehow but I am afraid that I could do something wrong, plus I'm not sure if that'd solve anything.
I'd be very grateful to anyone who tries to help
