iPhone iWidget issues with location

Nah. If you are using the stock weather widget it doesn't require anything. Make sure your location setting are correct , try a reboot.
Some iWidgets do require myLocation for it to pull your location. The_Durben creates most of his weather widgets to work with iWidgets, and his widgets require myLocation. The widget I used on my homescreen required myLocation, so I had to find one compatible with iOS 6. I finally found it from a user on modmyi (king_o_hill) on his repo:

I have a question though... I don't use iWidgets because it seems to work like Dashboard x from youtube videos I've seen. Is there an option to keep the Widget's stationary... and doesn't move away with the icons as you swipe through pages? That's what I didn't like about Dashboard x. Does Dashboard x have the option to keep widgets statrounary also? I usually modify the widgets to stay where they are when swiping pages.
EDIT: For those instailling myLocation, you might want to read king_o_hill's instruction doc. He is very specific on how to install it.
No problem... BTW... does you widgets stay stationary when you swipe? If it does... I might try iWidgets. That's one reason I won't download Dashboard x... plus I like user mod widgets better.

It does not stay. I imagine you could just add the widget to each page though?
Yah... that's what I thought. I prefer my widget not to move since I only really use 2 widgets (weather and time/day/date). If I used more than 2 widgets... then I would use iWidget... since the widgets look better than Dashboard x widgets... and I'm familiar with the source so I can tweak them a little to fit theme's I use.
