Location changing

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:05:19 GMT

The clock app on my HTC One M8 keeps changing the time on its own and going between my current location in Scotland to Amsterdam without even leaving the room. I have tried rebooting and its still doing it. Anyone else having this problem?

Is Amsterdam one of the clocks stored locations? If so it will cycle between the two.
Go into the clock widget settings and locations will be listed.

No all other countries have been deleted so there is only one stored. I have sorted out the time jump by manually setting it instead of using network time zone but it still flips between current location and Amsterdam

Check what accuracy level you have set for google services.

I have tried High Accuracy and battery saving and still have the same problem apparently I am in Amsterdam at the moment where the temp is 7 degrees

Location services show Google location reporting

Do you get any changes at all I'd you change location to say the next town?

Yes it changes to correct town if I am out and about but for some reason it changes to Amsterdam every so often particularly when I am in the house

I'm guessing it may be something to do with your wifi?

Have you taken the phone to Amsterdam?

Hate to say it but I'm thinking a backup and factory reset.

Ok I have spent the day with the wifi and data roaming off and thought everything was going great. While I was at work the world clock setting stayed as Glasgow all day changing to different locations as I travelled home. I come home and its changing between Alexandria and Amsterdam again "Guru" could only tell me to go to O2 store tomorrow
