i've just flash cm6 nightly build, it seems like my news and weather app is unable to detect the country which i'm in.
i live in Singapore, previously in cm5.0.8, it was able to detect my location for weather and localised news. now, it says "Sorry, weather currently unavailable" and the news are U.S. based.
i have set the My Location to use wireless networks and Locale to English (United States).
also, is it possible to select the time zone in cm6 nightly build to GMT+08:00 Singapore Time?

Hey,
Working from rc1 of cm6, it seems when any app that uses location data such as the weather in fancy widget or anything like that reports the zip code being 4. Just 4, not even a full zip code. Maps however finds my location without a problem.
Anyone know why this might happen? Fresh install.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the other apps but the news & weather widget that comes with the phone decides its topic based on ur phones language & keyboard settings.
So if its set to UK, you will see UK news and if set to US, then, well, US news
If you reside elsewhere, one workaround is to download MoreLocale 2 from the market. It changes the language & keyboard settings to what you want, thereby getting the news widget to display the correct news of your location.
My location and current city on weather app is not correct, my gps works fine latitude shows where I am, but on the big clock it shows diffarent city and time than where I am. I delete all cities on weather app, but current city not showing in that cities anyway, I started the phone rebooting and a while it shows my location and then finding Fort Lauderdale and shows as if the current place which I am totally in a diffarent location and time zone.
Any suggestions?

There is a setting that allows location based services to be turned on. You must have accidentally turned it off... Check Settings -> Location and Security and make sure Use Wireless Networks is turned ON.
I have obtained the latest version (dated September 5th) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31187814&postcount=12
I have noticed a problem though: with the previous version (R75-v6) I was able to run the app outside US, using Market Enabler and selecting USA T-Mobile or USA AT&T. With this new version, the trick does not work: the app displays the usual message "Not yet available in your country".
Anybody experienced the same?
Do you think there is some new check in the app? (e.g. looking at the mobile operator ID)

I do believe that it has to do with the fact that address for billing being in the US.
I can confirm this works well on the Nexus S, and others seem to have gone around the country issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810282
Indeed I have used all the suggested guidelines and put US addresses so that everything worked, up to R75.
But the latest version (R79) may have changed something, so I was wondering if someone outside US has noticed any difference after updating the app from R75 to R79.
In my case the app does not start anymore (but reinstalling R75 fixed everything back again to normal).
I had to use my company iPhone today because I can't seem to get ANY navigation program for my Samsung Galaxy Camera to work.
- Native Google Maps/Navigation says there is no network connection even though I can go in Chrome on the device and connect and find things (but no step-by-step) using maps.google.com and Gmail and other network programs from Google and others work fine. Since the Galaxy Camera supports a SIM card but I never use it (I carry a WiFi dongle/MiFi) I'm wondering if it is trying to get on AT&T even though the WiFi is active?
- Tried CoPilot GPS, and it insisted on first installing their offline maps that are 13 Gigs. Wouldn't let me set it up to use my SD card, and wouldn't let me use without installing maps first
- Tried MapFactor Navigation and the free version won't let you enter a street address. You can give country, then state, then street, but unless you can find a cross street it knows about, you get directions that are "in the area". Paid version supposedly supports the usual address search, but who wants to pay to find out if it really does?
Anything that I can do to get Google Maps to work right or some other program that will work if I always have WiFi?
After a couple hours of Google Fu, I discovered the issue was with the latest version of the Maps application. When Google removed Latitude it also messes with the setting for whether to report location or not, and gets confused.
To fix this you have to go into Application Manager, go to Maps, choose "Uninstall Updates". Then go to the Play Store and choose to update. When it finishes the update and you see the button in the store change to "Open" make SURE to open the application from there. That will then give you the chance to accept the new terms of service, and to select the proper location reporting setting.
After that it works properly. Supposedly several folks with other Galaxy products and the latest Nexus products encountered the same issue.
Now Google Home has officially launched in the UK, anyone aware of a way to get hack a US Google Home to become a UK model, or at least just a UK accent?
I know it could be done with the Amazon Echo, before it launched over here, so assumed something similar would happen with Google Home too - the internet appears very light on this topic.
In the Google home app it is possible to set the language used. Just set it to English (UK) and you should be set to go. My UK version of Google Home initially spoke A Merry Kin too!
