Has anyone ever got this to work on the GS5 without installing those exposed modules? I have never been able to get it to work. I just talked it through with the Samsung guy at best buy, and he didn't really know anything about it but said that he assumed that there is just the homescreen widget. But I figured that I would ask here and see if anyone knew anything about it.

The dual clock only shows if you're in a different time zone. Then it displays your home clock and the clock from your current location.
Sigh, that is what I am saying. I have my phone set so that home is central time and have multiple times gone into eastern time zones where by clock changes but it does not show my home time just eastern.

Maybe you don't have the refresh set often enough?
What refresh? There is just the on\off toggle and the home timezone selection. Also, I have spent 4 days in Atlanta and it never showed both.

No refresh takes four days, but that has me stumped too. Maybe someone else knows?

My Hero shows wrong time in certain HTC clock and calendar widgets. It detects location correctly but shows the time in GMT, even though Clock app shows current as GMT -4 and Home as the right time.
What the hell?
I'm having a problem that's similar, but different. I have a new Sprint HTC Hero with the stock ROM, and I'm an Android newbie.
My home city is set to Arlington, VA (which is EDT time zone). In the date/time settings, it is set to use network-provided values, which appear correctly as 5:44 PM. In addition, this time is correct on the lock screen.
Then we come to the HTC clock widgets. They correctly show my current location as Arlington, and the weather forecast is even correct. However, the clock the my current location is incorrectly an hour behind, showing 4:44 PM.
If I tap the clock widget, I can confirm that the time at my home location is correct, and my current location is detected correctly, but the current time is an hour behind.
Finally, if I enable the GPS receiver for location, the current time becomes correct briefly, and then returns back to the wrong time. In general, I'd like to keep GPS off most of the time to conserve battery, so my location settings are based on wireless and cell networks.
Thanks for any suggestions..
Yup, mine pretty much does that. This HAS to be a bug in the widget because everywhere else, it displays time correctly.

I noticed this today too, was in my inlaws house in Arlington VA and the time was off by an hour and showed current location as Arlington. But the time I setup for Herndon VA showed the correct time. But was also weird is that as soon as we got in the car to leave it changed to the correct time. And my location changed to "current" I think it was. So I think there's something with HTC getting Arlington VA confused with Arlington TX and thus the hour difference? Not sure
I was having the same issue, near as I can see it is a glitch with the HTC widget. The time for my home time is shown correct in the top right and on the lock screen, but the HTC widget was always an hour off. The way I got around it is to go into the time settings where it lists "local" and "home", press the menu key, and turn off the automatic network provided values, then reset the time zone to your current time.
Obviously the aggravating part about this is that if you travel to a different time zone you have to manually update the time.
I hope they come out with a fix for it soon!
Same here but it only occurs on the analog clocks.. the sense ui flip clock is fine
EDIT:
After messing around with my new Hero, I found that if you select a clock, the next screen will show you options to select current city or certain cities. Uncheck the "Show City Label" and select "current city"
That's what corrected this problem for me.. hope this does it for everyone else too!

Not sure if this helps, but HTC has many time zones wrong in it's internal database, I fixed mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747697
Adrian.
So I've had this problem with pretty much every T-mobile phone I (and anyone I know) has had while being at college. I am in central time, but am only about 20 miles from the eastern timezone border and T-mobile is always trying to tell me I am in eastern time.
All of my old phones have had a simple setting to turn off automatic updates of the time, allowing me to set it to central time and not have to fool with it. I can't seem to find this setting for the HD2 though. I don't want to turn off HTC's location as that will stop the weather tab from being able to find me, and that isn't really the issue anyway. If anything the GPS should be telling my phone I am in fact in central time.
Does anyone know where to find the setting that stops the phone from updating it's time based on what the network says? If possible, is there any way currently to have the GPS set timezones for us, as that is going to be more accurate than what tower you are getting signal from?
Thanks!
Idk if this will help you, but have you tried tapping on the clock on the home screen and you then can add your custom location or current location ....maybe there are other settings there also ?
Go to settings>menu>all settings> date and time, there you should be able to change the time zone.

This works fine but there is no option for Daylight savings time. Must have over looked it. Just select central time and manually change one hour ahead.

I personally have called T-Mobile about this and even speaking with a Teir 2 I am disappointed. They reset my ports and the time zone correctly updated, then as soon as I left my house and headed downtown it changed. Guess what, as soon as I got back home later it changed back to Pacific.
On the HD2 the option to change the timezone is greyed out indicating that it is updated from the carrier. I have changed the other settings every which way with no avail.
My theory is that the HTC Sense "Weather" app automatically updates the Time and Weather based upon the GeoLocation info. The name of my city is Portland and I suppose it thinks im in Oregon!
I have tried the various clock settings but to no avail. I can click on the flipclock and change the time manually, or even pick my own location rather than using Sense's "My Location" option. This works for a little while, but when the wether updates it's weather data it also changes my location.
I have also gone into the All Settings->Clocks & Alarms and changed the time zone manually which also works temporarily, but again once Weather updates the timezone is changed.
BsB Tweaks has a setting for Auto Sync Clock which is precisely what I need turned off. Oddly enough, there is something outside of BsB that overrides it's setting and turns the Auto Sync Clock setting back on.
It completely boggles my mind what is going on here. In theory the Sense's weather app should not directly affect whether or not the system clock is synced with the network time/timezone data. More so, if Sense decides it must update the clock whenever it finds the weather location/data it should be able to update the clock based on what timezone my GPS location is within.
Maybe there would be a way to add this feature in, though I'm not sure exactly how to go about it as I haven't done any tweaking and hacking on WinMo in years. It would be best for everyone if our clock was synced with the My Location data, as this gives an extremely precise understanding of what timezone I am in.
The automatic timezone settings may be in the phone settings and not the clock settings. Try going into the dialer then select Menu--> Options and click the Timezone tab. Then uncheck the the box to automatically update.
I do not have a T-mobile USA HD2 yet (mine is on order), so this is an assumption as that setting is available on my Diamond. If you don't see a TimeZone tab, it could be that T-mobile is hiding it. In which case there is probably a regedit to re-enable the tab so this can be unchecked.
Hope this helps.
hadn't thought about looking in the phone settings for the clock synchronization, great idea! that may have lead me to the solution, I'll see what happens in the next few hours.
Here is what I did...
Settings-> all settings-> personal-> phone->GSM/UMTS tab-> time synchronization-> get settings> uncheck auto time synchronization
I don't think they could have hidden that simple setting anymore if they tried! hopefully that will do the trick, thanks!
Time Change
My phone was doing the same thing, thanks for the fix. Duhhh, did it again this time i manually added my city and the correct time for it however the tab with current location is still an hour ahead, crazy. Help...
HTC HD2 (Leo) Time Zone Problem (Greyed Out)
Almost - My HTC HD2 (Leo) goes: Settings ->Menu->All Settings->Clocks&Alarms
Then click the 'Time' tab, and there's a dropdown where you can choose your time zone. You'll almost certainly have to set the time dropdown as well (just under the time zone dropdown).
But you're right - they certainly conceal this most primary of settings very thoroughly!
Cheers, Mark

I like using the finger print scanner but not every time I turn on the screen. Is there a way to make it so it is only required every hour instead?

You can download extended controls or another control widget (I use switchpro) which gives you extended options compared to the stock controls widget. It has an option to turn the lockscreen off for however long you want and then you can turn it back on with the press of a button on your homescreen. It cant be timed, but you control it there are also other widgets that do just what I described. But what I mentioned has many more features than just that. They are both paid apps.

Might be worth contacting Willem Stoker (?) - he has a locale / Tasker plugin and standalone app in the market that delays the pin lock in 2.2 and above. He's been very helpful in the past, maybe he can whip something up.
I'll be looking for something similar if Motorola ever pull their finger out and release the Atrix in the UK

Thanks a lot. I appreciate you keeping me in the loop.
My Moto X came with a widget that could turn the location services on or off with having to open the settings. I'm guessing it was a motorola thing. I have not found anything for the s5 that will do it. Apparently its a google security thing? Any widgets out there that can do it?

You can just edit the shortcuts on the notification panel pull down settings to show the "location" button. You can toggle it on and off from there with a pull down and a press, I have mine set up like that.
Even with that, I still two separate Location Consents that I have to agree too.

Apparently a troll.. I've been noticing that too. I just ignore them, whoever they are.
to OP. That's because the Location Services are in depth. I believe I had two Approvals when I turned mine on the first time.
Well, I guess I'll leave it on since it doesn't drain the battery unless its in use. Thanks everyone (troll excluded).
Hi,
I have a strange issue with my galaxy s4 i9505, lollipop. My clock get stuck when I lock my screen. And time does not update even when screen is unlocked i.e the clock starts from the same time when screen was locked. For example if I lock my screen at 10:00 am, and if after one hour I unlock the screen, the clock will start from 10:00 am instead of 11:00 am. I tried searching on the internet but I could not find any help regarding this. However there were discussion about the lag of one or two second about the time update when screen unlocks. Any ideas about this??
Factory reset, I guess.

Do you have automatic date & time enabled?
I had something a little similar, but it included all my widgets. are you using go launcher or a go product like next3d launcher ? the problem persisted thru different firmwares and launcher updates. I had to go into the launcher and stop it so that it would restart itself. sorry that I don't have a solution, I never got to the bottom of the issue, it simply stopped happening at some point and I'm not even sure why...
