[Q] Time differnece in digital clock widget - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am new to SE and new to android ,the problem what i face is in desktop i have digital clock widget and it shows different time from the time set in settings and what displayed in top right corner , also when phone is locked when a key press is made i am able to see correct time.
i have unchecked automatic option in date & time settings.
how to solve this problem ?
Time in settings and top corner: 9:21
Time in digital clock widget : 3:51
Thanks in advance

that happened to me but it fixed it self so no idea

maybe you used a taskkiller and killed the app responsable for the widgets updates?

i didnt use task killer..any fix?

You haven't got it set to display a different time-zone do you?

sorry for late reply ....switched off and on fixed the problem

Hi,
I faced the same problem over the last few days... the clock just sometimes seems out of sync with the system clock. Pretty annoying.
Removing and re-adding the widget helps, but that's just a useless fuss.
I'm trying the reboot and see if it sticks now.
Regards,
cherryfish
Edit: just to make it clear, I'm using the digital clock widget that's on the Homescreen by default.

only get that problem with BobClockD3, no problem with another clock widget.

It also happened to me. I just reset the time and all will have same tume.

Sence 2.1 Question

After upgrade I seem to have lost the clock and alarm functionality of the home screen clock widget. It opens weather when I press the lower portion of the widget but nothing happens when the upper portion of the widget is pressed. It use to open the alarm and timer functions. But nothing now. Is there a way to restart this service. Please help.
Thanks.

I have the same issue and posted about 3 minutes before you ;-)
I just tested the alarm functionality on my phone and it works fine. I also tested the widget and the top portion opens the clock app and the bottom portion opens the weather widget. I also removed the widget and re-added it. A couple of questions.
1) Did you do the OTA update and was your phone a stock non-rooted phone or is your ROM rooted?
2) If you are rooted, have you tried doing a full format (format & erase, wipe dalvik, manually wipe system/boot/data, etc) and then reloading the ROM?
3) If you are on a stock ROM, have you tried doing a factor reset and see if it was just a bad install of the OTA update. It can happen. Software isn't perfect.

Or you might even want to try removing the widget and putting it back again. I know sometimes it can act funny especially if you installed a ROM and did not re setup your home screen from scratch.
Stock OTA. No root. Tried restarting widget. Still no alarm, timer, etc...
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Same here. Stock phone upgraded OTA. Widget no longer links to clock app. In fact, the clock app is no longer listed in app screen. Thought that new App Market downloaded from BGR may have been to blame but after uninstalling update the widget still does not call the clock app.

I may be on to something here regarding the broken Clock/Alarm app...
Go to Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > All and scroll down to the "Clock" app. On my DINC2 w/GB, the Clock app is grayed out whereas the other apps are all listed in bright bold white. I checked the entire list and ONLY "Clock" and "CityID" are grayed out like this. There must be a connection, no?

Good eye! I also have this issue and have Clock app greyed out. On the other hand my CityID isn't greyed out and does indeed work. So I believe there has to be a correlation.
After my OTA the clock alarm worked great!
I then installed Beautiful widgets and then gentle alarm and now i can't load alarm when i click the time, i have to load it from a different widget. weird.

More info:
This is what my DINC2 reports for the Clock app:
version 1.00.000.081006.605
Storage 0.00B (for all three Total, Application, Data)
Cache 0.00B
Launch by default- no defaults set
Another user on another forum whose clock app still functions reports that his cache is also zero, but his storage is different for all three, total being 596KB (app 420KB, Data 176KB).
It looks like the clock app just isn't there for some reason.
just clock the numbers on the weather app on the homescreen. brings u to alarm.
I bit the bullet and did a hard reset. Ugh. Still rebuilding but the clock app is working again.
How to do hard reset. I know stupid question. Just don't want to screw anything up.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
I did the hard reset and spent the better part of the day reconfiguring my phone. The clock app did indeed work again. Until I did a battery pull. UGH. Now the clock app is gone again!
I called HTC and they said they are aware of the issue and patch will be forthcoming.
To those thinking about doing a hard reset, you may want to wait since the first battery pull you do will break the clock again.
MY sis' phone started doing this crap after the update...I thought she was just being dense....now I feel bad for doubting her. What idiots let a key function of cellphone like the bloody alarm clock get screwed up? I mean that's something most every single person uses almost daily...and none of their people caught this? It's also making her doubt having gone to an android phone...as she never had a problem like this with the old dumb phones...her last one got ran over by a tractor and still worked minus the broken interior screen. But all key functions still performed flawlessly(again minus the screen) lol.
Think I figured the clock problem out. Had widget locker installed, got tired of it and uninstalled it. Clock function is now back.

Glad yours works. No Widget Locker here and no clock app either.
Mysteriously enough, yesterday the Clock app reappeared in the app drawer and the clock widget started functioning again on my DINC2!
I had updated and installed a few apps yesterday which may have triggered a fix perhaps?
Updated the CNN app
Added GateGuru
Added Priority Pass
Don't know if this is now resolved permanently, something tells me it will only be temporary, but thought I would report this.

Clock freezes in CM9

Hi everyone
My clock just gets stuck randomly.
Now the mini clock in the notification bar says 23:36
My analog clock widget, 06:15
My lock screen, 06:02
Now, if I open the clock app tells me the real time (06:30) and the lock screen gets updated.
The widget must be removed and replaced and the top right clock is stuck at all.
What should I do? If I reboot after a bit this happens again.

Hello, you are advised to disable / uninstall your automatic task killer (which could come as installed application or script such as v6supercharger) as this problem is caused by your task killer killing system app which maintains your system clock.
I also encountered this problem twice - although i am not running any of those task killers / scripts.
I guess its a CM9 bug, quick googling gave the result that it happens on all kind of phones running CM9, here the S2 for example
As mentioned in the thread, setting the time manually might help. But as te problem is difficult to reproduce (and therefore proving a possible solution is also difficult), i will stay with automatic by now.
maybe you had just cleaned the ram, so many widget stops
same

same with me......
now i set my time automatically
same Problem with cm 10.1 on galaxy s3
How about going to your apps and deleting data and cache in the clock app? Did you try this already? I only experienced this one time after restoring a backup and only for a couple of secounds till it synced with my phone line, so also check if you allowed to set the time automatically.

[Q] Cyanogen cLock widget sizing problem

Hi all,
I installed CM10 this morning and it appears that the clock widget is not sizing properly. That is, the weather only shows fully (eg. including location) when the widget occupies 3 rows (and there is a ton of blank space left that doesn't show anything). I have not activated the calendar events features so nothing should be showing. Can I reset the size somehow?
I've already rebooted and deleted the widget from that homescreen, etc (all the easy/common fixes).
Thanks in advance guys.
See attached pictures.

Hey man,
That's normal. Made sure on my device and my friends. We are both running different ROMs and its the same. If you want a full screen widget that displays weather, time and notifications I'd suggest dash clock widget. Its free in the play store.

[Q] status bar clock + clock widget freeze

Hi,
i got a strange problem with my S4 mini (I9195) with CM11 (20140505; snapshot M6).
On my device the clock in the status bar and the widget one stops working every now and then. This doesn't apply to the lockscreen-clock. If i rotate the screen, the clocks get updated and show the correct time - the clock keeps frozen though (it doesn't work further until the next screen-rotation).
I've got the date+clock set automatically via network. If i set it manually, the status bar clock gets updated, but not the widget (just unticking "auto set clock" is not enough, i have to "set clock".). Still, the clock won't keep working, it will just stay frozen till the next rotation.
I found already a few descriptions of this phenomenon on the internet, but nothing here on xda and no solution either.
Please, if anybody knows a solution, it would be most welcome.
regards,
d4foasta
if my problem isn't that difficult to solve or if i made some error i don't know it. Do i have to post logs? I came here because i have a problem with my s4 mini and i can't post in the developer-thread.

There was this issue in the s3 mini forum too, i think they said it's cm11 related.. you can check this thread for their solutions, some deleted a file etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521593
It's a very common problem there
Did you ever solve this? I'd rather not sift through 500 pages of comments to find the solution, I'm having the same issue.

Lockscreen clock vanished

The digital clock has disappeared from the lockscreen of my Zenfone 2. I think it happened after the latest firmware update. The weather symbol is still there but no time. Can't find a setting anywhere for lockscreen clock and it doesn't seem to be connected with the What'sNext app.
Can anyone help please?
Update: failed to solve the problem...but clock now back with a restore.
Go to Apps and on top of screen you will see widgets. There are several clock widgets you can select.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think they are lockscreen widgets...just homescreen ones.
Also while you're here...any idea when a Lollipop 5.1 update is coming out! We need better battery life. Great phone apart from that.

Any idea of how have it on lockscreen?

The only way I could gat my lock screen back was with a phone reset.

Same issue here when I used TiBu to freeze a bunch of stuff I ended up enabling the weather app again and rebooting then it came back. I can't say conclusively that the weather app made it come back because I would restore apps in batches of 3-5 to see if it would work. Did you uninstall anything or freeze any installed apps?
i deleted the asus cover app while messing with the bloatware, can anyone upload a backup here along with the setupwizard apk

Hello.
I've uninstalled the most of google apps (drive, hangout, books...) but noone of the asus ones.
A probably silly question: if I make a phone reset, do I have those app I've uninstelled back or I only unroot the phone?
Thanks again!

Did you change any other settings? Gapps won't affect the lock screen so there a no need to do a factory reset. I'll look into it and see if I can narrow the issue down
Thanks.
I've only flashed system.img with Z008 WW 2.15.40.13 for rooting it and uninstalled those apps.
The latest firmware did that for me, is like a widget size change for lockscreen or something in the like, the click is there, when you boot your phone you can see it but when the weather loads is gone, like if the widget is shifted left. Think we need to wait for next update to get that corrected.
This happened to me too after freezing WEATHER. Enabling it back aolved the problem.
I can confirm that freezing weather was the cause of my lockscreen clock going away.
Hmmm.. I actually didn't freeze the weather. It's still on and going..,
But I've noticed a (maybe) strange thing.. in App notification I've tried blocking Live Weather, but then it was still on the lock screen.. I would have expected it to disappear from there, but maybe I'm just wrong...
Anyway, I've installed CM Locker cause clock on lockscreen is very useful.. the bad thing is that now with CM Locker I miss ZenMotion shortcuts (opening apps drawning letters on the lock screen)..
Uffffff....
Even with the latest update, still nothing, the only change was that now the weather widget is centered but no clock still, any ideas? I miss my clock.

Restoring the weater app which I had frozen did the trick. I wouldn't have figured out where that was hidden without this thread. Thanks!
Sorry for the stupid question, how do you purple freeze stuff? Are you rooted? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I never thought weather app has something to do with clock on lockscreen.
Unfreeze weather and reboot worked like a charm.
zenfone 2 lock screen vanishes
Hi,
Any updates regarding the lock screen clock issue jn zenfone 2. I have tried all the possible options except a restore. Is there any solution for this problem. Pls help if u have overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance.
I tried it. Its because you have probably disabled weather app. Enable it & reboot your device and boom your clock(time) is back.
