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?
I've searched for about 20 hours or so now and found nothing, so I turn to you guys (long time lurker, first time poster) for advice.
I am so very very close to finally having my phone set as I want it, at least for the next few weeks until I decide to change it again.
I have 2 problems, one is with regards to icons, I'm going to play around with that 1 icon I downloaded from a launcherpro droidicon site isn't recognised for some reason.
More importantly I am in need of a simple widget that doesn't seem to exist. On my last homescreen I want to have some picture frame widgets (2x2) of certain people, but I want to widgets to operate as if I added a shortcut to that person and selected quick contact. I want to be able to chose the photo myself so that it won't have the horrid icons over their face.
Does such a widget exist? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Nick
Hi all!
I was using a non-sence build (nexus one) and i had the "news and weather" widget of google working good; when i open information on weather it showed me the graph of temperature changing with time; and i could drag time to see temperature at a given time!
Now i am using a non-sence build too (but desire, darkstone hd2froyo), i have the same widget but this time the graph doesn't show me all the hours of the day but only 1 hour interval which is irrelevant; i.e. it shows me when i drag on the graph say from 6 to 7 am while i'm on 3pm!!
Both are version 1.2.02 - RC2!
Did somebody have that too?!
Is there is any fix or new version!?
(i know it's a specific matter but the difference is in the details )
same problem, droid X
mine worked last week on the DX. not working this week on the DX. Same as you described -- I now get a graph that appears to be a 24 hour span with a slider set at the right of the frame listing the correct time (though it doesn't appear to be correct as it corresponds to the graph). When I touch the slider, it changes to a different hour and slides through that hour over what should be (and appears to be) a day-long graph.
All I can think of that I've done between the time when the graph/slider worked properly and it behaving like this is installing and uninstalling a battery widget and killing some apps.
Let me know if you've seen any changes on your end. It was a great feature when it worked, so now I miss it.
Here is a question... is there an app out there that will let you have your usual standard time zone time, and then one set for work? I only ask because our time clock is always set to various times but it doesn't match up with standard time.
has anyone ever had the issue with the standard s4 digital clock where if the screen is off or coming back to home screen after x amount of time the time on the digital clock is not up with the time in the top right?
