I am wondering if I am the only person experiencing this issue where my clock appears to lose time. So I put it in airplane mode then off so the time will be right. My only issue with the phone.

u mean the clock widget or the clock on the top right corner?
if is the widget, it is possibly that you are using some auto kill app like task killer and you didn put the clock app on ignore list...
I have the same problem,
it only happen to the digital clock widget.
I think is the task killer kill the digital clock.
but the analog clock is fine, even I use the task killer.

Known issue, I have it too, everyone almost seems to have it. TaskKiller or not. I even see the clock setting the time backwards, from time to time.
The fix: don't set your phone to get the time from the network... :-(
Thanks!
Thanks guys... Sorry I missed the other thread or dread (lol) on this issue... Yeah , just kept it from automatically getting the time from the network and all is well... So backwards that is..

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?

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!!
I have been seeing an issue on my Arc S where, after playing something quite memory intensive (such as Draw Something). when I return to the home screen my clock widget is not showing the correct time (see screen shot - note the time in the top-left is different to the widget). It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? Here's what I know:
I have seen this on GB before back when I first got my Arc S in December last year. Again when using a lot of memory (Maps for example). So it isn't necessarily a new issue.
It is much worse since the official release of ICS. I don't remember if this happened on the beta but it's possible I wasn't using my phone to play as many games.
It affects all the clock widgets I've tried. I have tried the supplied analogue clocks, digital clocks and the HTC Sense 4 clock pictured.
Sometimes if I leave the screen on the clock will sort itself out.
Sometimes it stays like this for good until the widget is deleted and re-added.
Sometimes locking the screen for a little while will fix it.
A full reinstall doesn't fix this.
I am now on 4.0.4 (clean install last night) and the issue persists.
I am running the stock ICS kernel with CWM (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591279)
I know of one other user having this issue (and he's on Arconium)
I think this is probably an issue with the Sony Launcher but any suggestions are welcome because it's most annoying that I can't even rely on my clock widget to tell the right time!
I might try the Nexus launcher and see if the problem persists.
So I tried the stock ICS launcher (Launcher2) and the same problem exists.
Perhaps this is a kernel problem.

Your clock widget gets killed due to out of memory when you run heavy applications . See "Running Services" at Settings>Applications. You will notice that the widget is 'restarting'.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
So why doesn't it restart properly? Seems odd. Even if the launcher reloads completely the clock stays "stuck".
Guess I'll have to live with it.
I could give SuperCharger a go and try to make the clock widget HTK...
This also happened to me while I was on Gingerbread, and I was unable to find a solution...
P.S. I accidentally pressed thanks button on your last post rec71, LOL
Hi everybody
I have an android lg g2 lollipop But I have a clock problem ... For example, I put in standby (clicks the button that is alimetation behind the lg g2) my phone has time 10.00 but after half an hour, for example when I want to watch earlier in my phone ... I find that the clock shows 10.00 and then again after a second or two it shows me 10.30. it is as if the clock is not instantaneous. I tried to disables Auto clock tick ... then I tried manual clock .. Enable and disable auto time zone ... But no change. However. When for example I am about to listen to music, and I put my phone in standby mode, and after fifteen minutes I want to see the clock .. Well this time it is instantaneous. I have never installed a custom ROM or ROOTE my phone
I TRIED HARD RESET
When the battery charger is plugged , I can not find this problem

I noticed it when I was 100% stock too. It's how it is on the g2 and there is no way of 'fixing' it as it's obviously a battery saving feature.

you mean that it is to save battery power, the clock is not instantaneous?

you have lollipop or kitkat?

Yes, that is what I mean. The phone shuts off background processes when the screen shuts off to save battery. Every phone does it, but it happens to be more noticeable on the g2. Unless you root, there is no way of even trying to fix it.
I'm on lollipop btw.

Are you sure if just root my phone ,the problem is solved ? Did you try this method ?
Rooting just gives you access to the filesystem. From there you can modify the rom to what you need. Just rooting will not fix your problem. If I were you, I would leave it alone since you can do more harm than good.
Why don't you try to disable all the stock apps you don't need? It might help since it would bump the clock app up the queue of background processes to restart on screen on. To do that you go to settings>apps>all apps and disable each app that you don't use. Some can't be disabled.

if you disable clock with myandroidtools.. the service.. or stop clock from starting up during boot, if you use greenify app and hibernate clock, or if you use amplify and select clock or alarm something related to clock makes it like that.. when i dont mess with clock anymore then my clock its ok... do you mean the one on top of status bar? casue i talk about the ones in the widgets or lock screen.

if you are not rooted or and messed with settings on those apps then i dont know. a factory reset would helps i guess.
Mine doesn't. I have to manually update it even though I have the weather in home screen. This is stupid. It's there a way to update like hourly?

Yep
How?
How?
Think mine does as well.
There are times I'm not paying attention to the weather and the temperature # will change on the widget without me opening the app and manually refreshing.
Have seen it happen on at least 2 occasions that I can recall. Don't really use the weather app that much in the first place
My weather widget doesn't update. I've heard it might be a bizarre issue where it doesn't update in the EU region. Possibly a GDPR confirmation missed at one point. I didn't want to try this method for my reasons, but you could try setting your phone region to India, for instance, creating the widget and letting it detect your location. If that succeeds, you can revert to your region and the thing should then work, in theory. Let me know if you succeed.
I not working ,you can set up automatic update at night. Between 23 and 7!! Who need update when sleep.
I use Google widget At a glance and its working without any problem. Everyone have it in widget - Google
Only option I have is overnight crap. The weather is so unstable in this part of the world. I need to be able to update at least hourly, automatically of course.
Even if it does update during the night, at 6pm your widget will still be showing weather from 7am
I tried "simple weather & clock" by difer, which almost made it. I realized if you use 3rd party weather app, the time on notification bar stays on, in home screen. Which is annoying because I only want 1 big time shown on weather app that also allow me to access timer and alarm. Who needs 2 of same time shown on home screen? I rather have defect stock weather app, looks neater at least..
I also have the clock always in the status bar. Except for when a notification arrives, or right after unlocking it. It's connected to the default launcher and I'm using the Poco Launcher. I need my app drawer
If you don't want the clock in the status bar, you could use the MIUI clock only widget, and then just a separate widget for the forecast.
