Okay, so I've noticed that on both my lock screen and Clock app, that my alarm clocks don't show up as the Human Readable time format. For example, I have an alarm set for 6am tomororow (1/12/2010), and when the lock screen is showing it has the alarmclock icon and show "1263294000000" next to it, which is the epoch time for 1/12/2010 6:00:00 am. It also does this in the clock app on the app's home screen, but if I go into the alarms screen it shows up fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Weird. Mine shows up in a normal time. I've tried looking through the clock app, and system settings and couldn't find a way to replicate your issue.
Since yours is rooted it may have something to do with what youve flashed to it so far.
Or maybe not cause im rooted with cyan and just tried and it appeared fine

Lol. Yah. I've got a few friends around here that have basically the same setup. Not really an issue, more a nuisance. But I seriously don't get it. I'll probably try and reset later today and recreate it. I was just curious if any one else noticed this.
Strange.
I have another question for the clock app:
Is there a way to turn off the charging light and the backlight on the capacitive buttons when in the dimmed clock app mode? The screen is actually quite nice and readable in the dark but the bright lights next to it are annoying / wash the screen out some.
Maybe it's something in Locale settings? That's where I'd look.

Trust me, I went through just about every possible 'setting' i could possibly think of. I'm assuming it has something to do with a program i have installed. I haven't had the time to do a reset yet, but plan on giving it a shot later.
Here's what I know though, its not normal, and its not because of root. Seems no one else is having this issue. lol, WTF.

Does it bother anyone else that whenever you switch back to the home screen, the clocks reset the hands and do the little animations to spin to the correct location? The flip clock does it like it used to in TF3D too, the numbers flip over until they catch up. It seems such a waste of time and cpu cycles. I've tried the default Android clock and it is much calmer, it is always at the correct time regardless of whether you switch back or not. The down side is it isn't as attractive and doesn't take you to the clock app when you press on it.
Anyone else annoyed by this?
Indeed I find it a little annoying...not tried the different clock....
one question, are you able to change the type of clock on your profile?
I seem to be only be able to select different front clocks under different profiles (Scenes) so you are stuck with that clock for that scene?

You can just remove it, then add an HTC Widget and select 1 of 12 clocks (think its 12)

Genuie!!!!! Thanks dude!!!
I also found that when I changed my clock to the small one (so it still fits in the same space on the home screen), my Hero became much more responsive. It still adjusts the time with an animation every time I go to the home screen, but it seems way better. Others have suggested removing the People widget, but for me it was just a change of the clock.
Bugs the hell out of me, so much so I had to remove it.
Hope the new update fixes this problem.

I like seeing the clock flip over! I'm sure it does it by design too, it's not a fault/bug.

It is a fault, the clock widgets can't store the time. So everytime you enter the idle screen it updates the clock.

I don't believe it's a fault either, judging by the way it is animated. It is just designed not to update whilst not visible.

Most if not all of the HTC clock widgets do the animation.
However, on the leaked video of the new speedier ROM, I notice the clock never updates like that, even though it is the big one with weather combined. It just changes immediately, so maybe that is part of the speed up...
i use the smallest one, digital, but not a flip. number 5 i think it is.
yes, if you look closely you can see it update when you go back to the homescreen, but it is so fast, most of the time i don't notice it, and i'm certainly not gonna sit there trying to see it happen, cos it's really not that important to me...
Maybe they added a setting to enable / disable clock animation ?
Hope so as I quite like it.
On the CDMA Hero there seems to be a bug... IN the Clock app, home location and current location show the correct time but most HTC clock widgets insist on displaying the GMT time. What's up with this?
Just recently got the Shift and so far its a big nice upgrade from the hero.
I don't currently have root access and am pretty much running stock everything, with the exception of Launcher Pro and some custom icons.
The issue I am running into is that occasionally my alarm clock goes off w/o the option to snooze or dismiss.
The only way to remedy this is to yank the battery... (at least thats how I deal with it at 6:am and I want to snooze)
Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.
I had the problem show up a few times on my Hero before the official 2.1 release, but I don't remember if anything I tried fixed it. Just letting you know it's not just you.
I know the alarm clock snooze/dismiss settings are tied to HTC Sense. Maybe launcher pro is messing with Sense somehow.
I think the controls to dismiss or snooze the alarm are tied to the lock screen. I don't use launcher pro, but I wonder, does launcher pro replace the stock lock screen?
Ive had similar problems...im stock rooted and still using sense and occasionally have this problem...i usually use audio manager widget to lower the volume so its not driving me crazy and then set a new alarm for like a min later...when the snooze/dismiss options appear for the new alarm i hit dismiss and all the alarms stop
Why not install DeskClock.apk?

No, it doesn't.

That's the same way I've been solving it Seems that if I turn off the phone (Kyocera Zio 2.2) whilst having an app on screen (ie turn it off from within an app or fxn) the incidence is quite high. If turned off from home screen, doesn't occur (or at least not very often - can't quite be sure, but 95% certainty) Just wanted to make someone aware of it. Glad to see it wasn't just me who noticed it. Having to take the case off, battery out, et al are annoying, and just seems a goofy fix for what is generally a nice piece of equipment! Someone else (Hero user?) is changing their vol setting and then setting another alarm for a min later to have the shut-off option appear. I may try that in the future. THANK YOU for the site!!
Anyone else notice that since KE1 the clock and date on the lockscreen are squashed right down at the bottom of the screen and look sort of naff?
In KDD they were higher up on the screen and it looked more professional.
Just wondered if it was me?
You can change where the time is shown on the screen, perhaps that changed?
Check settings -> display -> screen something (mine is the topmost) -> background
Yes, I noticed this as well, also the date is no longer in line with the clock, which is annoying. I hope they put it back to how it used to be in the next update. It has nothing to do with lock screen settings, I've tried them all it won't go back to how it used to be, though I think it looks better with the clock etc at the top of the screen now, less squashed.
I thought something looked weird, now I can't unsee it.

Haha same here
interesting, I use the pattern lockscreen so the clock is at the top for me.
Any updates on the Lockscreen except the Clock issue that is mentioned? I have made a port of the Galaxy S II Lockscreen on Galaxy S, hence I am interested in knowing the same..
Anyone having a problem with the digital clock stock widget? My widget size is 3x1 and when installed, cuts off the day/date text. Is there a 4x1 size option? Seems like something has happened to my widget. I am latest version, stock, rooted. Anyone else having similar problem? It's very aggravating.

Mine did this last Sunday and has been the same ever since. I have rooted but am still running latest stock firmware
Craig
But I believe it's always been like that.
The Day text is cut off and shifted down a line so it shows:
Wednes
day
Rather than:
Wednesday
I don't use a clock on my screens though as there is one in the lower right corner.
EDIT
Ah looking back on some earlier Tab images used as promo's it is clear it should be the Day and Date in 1 line... Not sure what could be causing this. *scratches head*
I solved the problem by going into settings/applications/digital clock and uninstalling the updates. Seems like the latest update screwed my digital clock up. Once I did that, it works like it should and doesn't cut off anything...day/date on first text line, and city on second text line. And, the size of the widget is now 5x2. I knew something wasn't right with the size. That's why it was cutting off the day/date text.
woo hoo.
Mine did that when I tried to set the city name to nothing (blank).
Setting a name fixed it.
I see now that that doesn't work. Sorry for the misinformation.
Can't find any updates to remove to fix widget size.
Re jyams's fix, I've the same problem but can't find any way to uninstall any clock updates.
Is this because mine's not rooted?
The fact that the day is show followed by a comma tells me that the widget size is the problem.
More confused than ever
Just noticed that when the tablet comes out of standby, awaiting the padlock to be dragged, the original, properly displayed time widget is displayed. It has a different font but isn't truncated, it's as if I'm using the wrong widget on the homepage.
anyone find a fix? Mine was normal until I decided to rearrange my Widgets and deleted the stock one now I have this problem.
I had the same issue once, messed with it for like a day trying to get it to work...finally figured out that if I lock the rotation with the switch then reboot, it causes the clock widget to malfunction. Playing with the rotation lock switch, making sure to end up in the unlocked position, then rebooting fixed it for me. Don't know if it will work for you, but worth a shot.
I have tried everything, changing screen resolution, DPI, screen zoom, etc. But I just cannot stop the screen from going below the bottom of the phone. Happening on the lockscreen and a few others, strange thing is does not happen on all apps.
Does anyone know how you stop this? Thank you.
Hi,
not sure it'll help, but under settings, there in the display settings is a option for "full screen apps"
Give it a try?
Did you try doing a factory reset
No I haven't done a factory reset as that is really the only issue, and everything else is running like a charm. Don t think it deserves hours of setting up again and no guarantees that it fixes the problem.
It's Lockstar causing that behaviour...
Give it up. Use the stock lockscreen.
That's what I did... Lockstar many times give me weird elements positioninig

Tried that, stock lock screen still does exactly the same. And it cuts off a few other app menus, but not all which is weird.
Strange thing I have noticed, I was playing a game waiting for the doctor yesterday, when I was called I switched off the screen without exiting the game. Later when I turned on the screen again all the icons were visible in the right places. Some kind of DPI graphics change when the game runs I imagine?
Found the issues causing this problem.
I enabled navigation gestures in settings rather than navigation buttons.
Fluid Navigation was set to hide navigation bar, I set this to do not hide.
Both the lockscreen and all other offsets no longer occur.
