Samsung Airave and Evo 4G - Weather Shows Wrong City

Just wanted to tack this up as a sticky so it's visible for all us Evo & Airave owners, especially since there have been multiple questions about it now.

There is a known issue with the way the Airave handles locations. I got that straight from Airave tech support. So when in range of your Airave, it may not show the correct location for your weather. For instance, I live 70 miles from Charlotte, NC. However the Airave has my Evo convinced I'm in Huntersville, NC just outside Charlotte, so my weather shows for Charlotte, NC.

There currently is no known fix. As soon as you leave the range of your Airave, it will function normally after the next scheduled update. If you want to refresh it faster, just do a manual refresh.

Ah ok. I wondered why the location was all messed up when I am at home. THanks for clearing that up.  One more issue though.  THis last week every night around midnight or a bit after I lose connection to all my games. The only way to fix it is to turn the phone off and back on. Everything else works fine. I can get email,I can text and  I  can make calls.  Anyone have the same problem?  If someone says it has to do with my airrave I am throwing it out. LOL.

I Have one and and does not get a better signal to me, i can be in the same room and my phone be breakin up bad, can anyone tell the difference with or without your Airwave

The difference for me is huge. Without it, we can't use our phones at all. If we hold a connection long enough to actually dial out, it drops after the first 1/2 ring. With it, we have full bars and not a problem in the world.

One thing to check is where it's located at. If it's a decent distance from you, or on a different floor (upstairs/downstairs) it does drop off somewhat sharply. It's best to have it centered where you (usually) make most of your calls.

I live in ranch style house and here is a pic with no zoom, and my calls be breakin bad!!!!!!!  took this from my dining room table and still only have one and half bars right now

Hello,
I actually started a Thread about this recently as I live on Siesta Key which is a Barrier Island on the Gulf of Mexico 70 Miles South of Tampa.  However, my Airrave kept on giving the Location as De Land, FL which is around 200 Miles away and close to the Atlantic Ocean all the way across the Peninsula.

What I have found is that unplugging the GPS Antenna has resulted in giving me the proper Location.  I have no idea why this would be the case, but amazingly it has resulted in me getting the proper Location.
Cheers,
JJ

Didnt read all the replies but you can also use another widget for the weather, and put ur location

Called sprint today because I have been having spotty signal at home, they are sending me a free airave i'll post again to let you guys know if it helped.

Beats the guy that was showing up in the Congo.
