I just got a Wildfire S for my wife and am trying to set up tasker to turn it into a desk clock at night time when it is on its dock. I can do this fine with my HTC Legend, but the actual clock app (Desk Clock) seems to be missing from the apps list in tasker on this phone. Running the Clock app just loads the last thing it was on in there.
Has it been changed between froyo and gingerbread? it is really good on the legend as you just load desk clock and it auto goes into the screensaver mode of the clock.
If you cant access it, are there any clocks on the market that arn't crap? All the ones I have found seem to have a missing feature, usually the movement of the numbers to stop burn in.
Thanks

hi.the display of the clock has changed,without any reason.now it shows me only a little round clock.anybody knows,how do I change it again?
tap-and-hold your stylus on the clock until a menu pops up saying
analog
digital
obvious what to do next!
tip: maybe you should use a locking-software (like the standard locker in wm or S2U2), if the phone receives signals from the screen if it is in your pocket or something and changes the clock, who knows what else can happen...
On the htc clock/weather widget, the little weather picture (sun, sun with clouds, moon) seems to be off lol. For example, its 10 pm, but according to the weather widget, its still sunny outside. I have the location set right, and refreshed/reloaded it a few times as well. Is that normal, or is there some kind of fix?
I had the same problem until I checked my process/app killer and noticed it was being auto-killed so it wouldn't update, in fact it would disappear from the clock and date completely. I would have to click where it should be and bring up the main weather app and hit the refresh button then click back to the home screen and it would refresh there. Find out what app killer is killing the process and put it in the ignore list.
Cheers...
You're not alone. I've seen this problem on my mom's stock HTC hero and my gf's stock Evo as well as my own rooted Evo using damage control Rom. Even more odd is comparing "current" location with exact same location hand selected. Current location will be totally off while same selected location is correct.
Also worth noting is side by side comparisons of HTC weather widget, fancy widget (available in the market) and the weather channel. They will all show different temps and conditions.
I don't know for sure, but my guess is they pull weather data from different sources and sometimes the sources are not providing accurate data.
Also worth noting is that none of the 3 devices I've mentioned were using a task killer.
Its not that much of a big deal to me. It's kind of irritating to not have things line up right, like exact temperatures and the moon or sun, but oh well. I live in Florida, so all I care about is if it will rain or not. Anything over 80 degrees doesnt matter here haha.
its been happening for a while now. it happened when i was rooted with stock leaked latest ota, so i unrooted and downloaded the latest ota and everything is back to stock...
the issue,
from time to time the sms and email count will hide behind the widget and i cannot see but a small green portion of it. also, my weather is crossed with another weather. example...right now it says its sunny 60 degrees, well you can see in teh background of that sun last nights full moon and temp. so detele the current weather/clock widget and voila, there is the culprit. theres a gray box (the size of the clock/weather widget), with nothing on it but the picture of the conditions and the temp...
also while this happens, unlocking my phone is very choppy and the screen is very unresponsive...
Hi
Has anyone else had problems with the size of the widgets on the m8? Some of the are fine, but others have a lot of dead space around the widget, which means you can't use all the screen.
A good example of this is the FitBit widget. It won't even let me resize, despite having a border. I can slide the edges in but they jump back out again as soon as I take my finger off.
I have a widget for a trains app, which in terms of the actual widget, takes up 4x2 spaces. However, on the widget menu, it states 4x3. That extra row is just dead space, so I have a small-ish widget at the top of my screen and only room for one more line of apps right at the bottom. Loads of unusable space in the middle of the screen.
It was fine on my Samsung S3.
Any ideas?
I never use Location service or GPS, unless specifically running Navigation with Maps, other than that, it's always off to save battery life.
The lock screen is killing the look and feel of this phone for me. The lock screen wallpaper seems very dark, and that weather thing showing "unavailable" is always shown. Samsung, and everyone else allows the weather to be set manually by imputing a specific city name or zip code, why does HTC need the location service enabled to do the weather ? Plus why is the lock screen so dark, compared to the home screen wallpaper ? it's like 75% darker on the lock screen.
Plus it's also hard to keep a specific wallpaper set on the lock screen, seems to be if you change the home screen wallpaper, the lock screen changes to the same.
I wish we could just keep it simple like CM13

For one if you want the weather displayed you need to check Auto detect my location, you can set the update schedule. Don't use Location or GPS oh well.
The lock screen is an ovelay so the pin/number keyboard can be seen on any wallpaper, it has always been like that, its dark for a reason.
If you make you own theme, you can set each wallpaper for home screen, apps screens, app drawer, messages and lockscreen.
Wait for a partially working CM13 ROM.
