MyLocation Never shows up in System

I've done the install/uninstall several times. I never get the icon in the system folder for the settings. Did soft reset, etc. I have a stock ATT ROM, my Tilt2 is only about a month old. Any ideas?

Just an update - it appears to be working tho - because when I bring up myRadar, it finds the right location . . . I did do the myRadar installation first - if that makes a difference.

Where is this installed? Can't find a folder (but maybe its in a system folder because its a service?)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pkauf:
OK, just found my problem. I use SMB Shell, and was going to Settings . . . System under the shell. I thought that was the same as Start . . . Settings . . .System. Well, it appears its is NOT. My bad. Thanks!!!

Hi Sleuth,

I'm using Titanium Weather and your My Location Service. Since I live in Germany the TitaniumWeather.mscr you provided doesn't work here. Therefore I modified your file. I hope you don't mind. I'm no programmer and the script is dirty i guess, but it's working for me. It should work internationally... hopefully ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lcd4linux:
Thanks for the script, but there's an error "link2...accuweather...blabla..couldn't be opened".

lcd4linux
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
Today Accuweather was down for some time. But check it again! It should be working fine now. Report anyways, mate.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lcd4linux:
I saw this too, but the prob persists. With the original TitaniumWeather-script the Dataconnection was automaticly established and updated ok. Now I must use a script to turn on Dataconnection. I'm on Vodafone with a Proxy for WAP (Connection= Vodafone Internet, Proxy= 139.7.29.1:80).

lcd4linux

when copying the link in iexplorer or opera the site shows "multiple locations found"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
I understand. Thanks for the feedback. I think the problem is that my dataconnection is permantly turned on. I'll add some lines to establish the connection before the script is executed. BTW it is on purpose that it's connecting to the multiple location site. I'll update the script later. Until than: Happy Easter :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lcd4linux:
Thank you and Happy Easter to you. I've tested alot and found out that update is o.k. with Wifi and ActiveSync. Also turning on Dataconnection before update didn't work. I see "checking position" and after a while the Error.

lcd4linux
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
Here's the updated Script. As always feedback is very welcomed!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lcd4linux:
Yeah... now it works, thank you :D

Manilla My Location Workaround (kinda)

I know that some of us in this thread can't get the home screen my location to work for displaying the weather under the time, etc. I have the same problem but have found a workaround for it. I am running the stock HTC WM6.5 Pro ROM for a Touch Pro 2 (GSM). What I found was if you add your city, or one close to you, in World Clock then select it, the weather on your home screen will now work showing that location. The only way I could access the world clock on my phone was by tapping the alarm time on the home screen that then gave me 2 tabs at the bottom, 1 for alarm and 1 for world clock. The cities I already had in there are the ones I added on the weather tab so I just selected my home city and weather now works.

Hope this is helpfull to someone and sorry if it's a known setting or workaround and I'm repeating it. I just found how to do this right after reading this post so thought I'd throw it in there :D

Update to ModDriver 2.40, changes myLocation position for GPS apps!

Longer Description of the changes.

On a side note, today I disabled my GPS devices in ModDriver and drove around using myLocation alone for GPS position (ModDriver will make myLocation look like a GPS to your gps applications). I have to say it worked pretty well, I traveled about 15km in a loop, and connected to 4 towers. No where as good as GPS, but better than nothing. I think I'll instal ModDriver and myLocation on my Hermes (it has no GPS).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] peacock93:
Sleuth,

Any more news on a CDMA version of myLocation? I use Mach2003's Mod Driver on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 and would like to be able to add your software also.

Hi Sleuth

Anyway for myLocation to record cell tower ID, coordinates to a text file/ GPX file so that I can use the data as way points in Mapsource, Google Earth ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
I'm sure that a quick mortscript could easily pull that off.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dampam:
Pardon me, how do I do that ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
I have tryed this and every time i try and update i get the warning:

"Invalid Location Please change in options"

so i deleted the location from the titanium weather settings and ran the update again and still the same so i loaded google maps and hit the locate button and it got it correct.

i tryed titanium weather and i still get the same error!

Please help!

thanks

CDMA Update?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
The latest update is zip code oriented. Not sure if you are in the US or not but that might be your problem. Zipcode reverse geolocate won't work for locations outside the US.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
Still not working on CDMA. RIL appears to be locked. Googlemaps may be signed to allow communication.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] abuttino:
So, does it look hopeful?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] abuttino:
I have been using opencellid to identify towers on my CDMA phone, after searching and searching to help you find a resolution to this.

It appears to resolve the towers, and I can only assume that this would probably be a good starting point for CDMA location services with mylocation.

Open Cell ID does have an API.

EDIT:

I drove around the local neighborhood and I found 6 cellid's on my omniaII (VZW) with openCellID and openCellClient (Which uses openCellID).. I really hope this helps to finish your project for CDMA.

I have even tryed deleting the location code and runing the setup again but nothins!!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
hmmm.... never seen an error writing a reg value before. What device/rom are you using.

You could try removing the myLocation service to debug. It might start working with the service removed and the registry key in hklm/services removed. My titaniumweather script will default back to a regular accuweather lookup if it can't find the reg key. The reg error may be happening because the write data is invalid.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
Nice find! You're using the client for windows mobile correct?

edit: bummer. The app was built using managed code on the Visual Studio 2008 platform. Microsoft has built in RIL libraries there. This app uses RIL.GetAllInformations() to retrieve CDMA cell data. I can't use this because myLocation is a service which must be native code.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
im using the xannytech evo titanium rom,although xannytechi s the only rom ever i use, and this was working then suddently half way through one day it just stopped working so i really cant see how its something to do with the rom.

Ill remove mylocation service and see if the weather updates without your mylocation service.

also what key? there is no mylocation key in hklm/services - there are none!! or they have not been created for whatever reason!

Ill report back later

EDIT: I removed mylocation and the titanium weather updated first time using the location code programmed in for my home town southport, so at least we know where the error is now!

EDIT 2: I reinstalled mylocation and the error happens again, also when i open mylocation app there is no lat/long saved, ive even loaded google but nothing shows, the service is enabled but nothign registering!

Also i dont understand why, if titanium weather is programmed with a default location, why the mylocation service didnt revert to default location when it couldnt get anything from myloc?

is there anything i can do to help?

thanks

[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
Hi MysticGenius,

out of curiosity I tried out the GPS Coordinates you provided in one of your screenshots. And Googlemaps is giving some strange answers. It says "Northsea". You can test it for yourself, just write in the respective coordinates in Googlemaps. And that is the reason why you get an "Invalid Location" since the Northsea has no Zip Code.

And even if you would get the "correct" GPS Coordinates (not Northsea), Sleuth already mentioned it, that it only works in the US.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
What takes it, if my phone knows where it is but I don't know where my phone is?!?

;) ;) :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
what co-ords? when i use google maps it pin points me via gps perfectly, i removed the co-ords from mylocation service, and it now has the following:

lat 55.859169

long -4.290710

how can i test these?

I dont understand why it stopped working thought, 1.2 worked for ages then suddenly stopped.

It stopped about 2 weeks ago, but it was working, i tested it!!

also why when 1.1 works worldwide, why would he change it to only work in the US, surely that is silly? (personally i dont think this is the case as v1.2 as i have said worked for a few weeks!)

thanks for your help

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
I think the change was due to a change in the accuweather feed, this is the correct post I think: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5886598&postcount=122

But you say myLocation is giving you coordinates? If so you could try this script to replace the original one. I modified Sleuth's script so it would work here in Germany. Actually it should work worldwide.

BTW I fixed the issue concerning the fallback if the myLocation coordinates are invalid.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
Hey,

I thought id report before i used your script, it turns out mylocation service is working, it is working perfect with IPTWeather, so I really hope your script works in the UK

Ill try it now!!

EDIT: YOUR SCRIPT WORKS!!!! Thanks so much for this!!!! first time!! thanks

Thanks very much for your help

Hi,

I just tryed to update the Weather again and it is giving the "Invalid Location" errors again!

ill try playing through the day and post results!

MG

EDIT: After some more testing, i added my city weather code to titanium weather through the settings and your mortscript is working, it is swapping over to the location set in the settings.

the problem is now that the mylocation service isnt being detected. I use titanium weather plugin and IPTWeather, NEITHER are detecting the mylocation service.

I have even hardreset my HD2 today to see if that made a difference and it was a complete waste of time, nothing changed!

im gutted, it worked for a week!!

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
Hi,

after another day of testing here are my results.

For some reason the invalid location error is coming back. it seems that something is going wrong with the mylocation service as titanium weather using TitaniumWeather.mscr.zip from pryde.

using the above script, when checking for updates, it states "Invalid Location, Using default position"

I have my default set as my parents town of southport, which is about 400miles from where i am.

also IPTWeather which uses the my location service is not recognising the service either, it is returning the default info.

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pryde:
You probably have the same problem you had in the first place. What does the myLocation App say? Does it give any Coords? What did you do last time to make it work?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mach2003:
There are some cell towers that myLocation can not get the coordinates for, Google does not actually know them all. Perhaps you are connected to one of these.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
I think this is the case, it seems the cell towers by my work and home are initialy recognised as invalid, but today i went to the gym and it connected and worked!

i really dont get it, it seems that every time i flash my phone i should go to the gym to get a fi on location!!

very weird behaviour!

I use myLocation Service with GPS Mod Driver together,but i met problem.

when I in room,GPS not fixed,I found gps mod driver can't continue to provide lat/lon to GPS software,such as ozi or beelinegps.

on the GUI of gps mod driver,only at the first few seconds of startup,can display "celltower" info,and then,it will change to display "GPSmod MSApi".at this moment,GPS software can't read lat/lon info.

I use HTC HD with energy rom 6.5 23569,Operator is China Mobile.

why this happen?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] asdffdsa11:

I found another issue,it seem that the service can't connect to network automatically.If adding a test button on the cpl GUI,it will be better.The config GUI is too simple.

Hi, I have an Omnia II WM 6.5.5 and myLocation is not working. GoogleMaps is working and showing my correct location (using cell tower info). According to the settings app no data transfer has taken place at all. I have WMLongLife installed as well but no popup box was given for data access and I've allowed all background connections. Any ideas?

Thanks

Update

Its working now! I think it download the data when a data connection was made. Is myLocation supposed to make an auto data connection?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sleuth255:
If Google doesn't have the tower id then myLocation won't work. Symptoms will be myLocation not changing and data transmit/receive not going up. This is a bit of a bug since the 25 byte transmission attempt should at least be logged so one knows that the celltower isn't in the database. I had this happen myself recently when I was attached to a temporary tower that AT&T put up to handle traffic at a music festival.

myLocation currently doesn't activate the data connection itself but instead idles until the connection is activated. This is to give people more control over their data connection from a cost perspective. I suppose I could add a "waiting for data connection to be activated" on the cpl applet to show this.

@MysticGenius: Invalid data means that the lat/lon data from myLocation cannot be resolved to a zipcode. I use google to do a reverse geolocate and throw that error if the return data doesn't include zipcode.

Fix for location parsing using google

Hi,

i just noticed, that the mobile site of accuweather does not deliver the correct location code for (e.g. EUR|DE|GM003|Berlin) for the query to forecastfox-accuweather anymore (at least of international locations - now it is like Berlin,Deutschland which does not work for the rest of the script).

So I tried a fix using Google mobile (attached). Is this working for anyone (except me) - can't test it worldwide...? It is not the most elegant way - perhaps there is a better one, since you depend on google delivering the correct link on the first page.
