Clock widget problem solved.

I had widget locker installed and got tired of it. Removed it and my clock widget is now functional again. Alarms, timers and all. This could be our problem if everyone with the clock problem has widget locker. Hope this helps.

No Widget Locker here. Glad you resolved your problem. The disappearing clock app issue remains for me and many others.

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.

The clock app is freezing itself. If you download titanium backup, the free version will do, you can unfreeze it.

But only if you are rooted, correct? I am not rooted so this will not work.

Thanks for the tip on the titanium solution. You are a lifesaver.

Clock doesnt correct/wrong?

im using the Virtuous Unite rom and for some reason my clock has just stopped updating so i tried to reboot but that didnt work, so i also tried a reboot taking the battery out for 30 seconds but that didnt work either so now i have an out of date time on my phone...
also i cannot go to the app store or use a few apps that require the clock to be right.
does anyone have any ideas?

Is this the default clock in the notification bar, or a widget on your home screen?

both.

Slow clock on lock screen?

I'm having a problem with the lock screen clock updating really slow. It takes at least 2-3 seconds everytime I turn of my phone to look at the time. The small clock on top next to the battery works fine though.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

This has been driving me crazy ever since I got the phone, I've tried to just forget about it. Hopefully someone knows about this and has some way to fix it, whether its a different clock widget or a setting somewhere.

Its a problem with all the widgets I'm finding. They take longer to load up during start up.

Location

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps

I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

i was going to ask if you are using tasker- automate is a lot like it.....but it seems you have eliminated that possibiltiy

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.

HELP Please...!!!

some time, my softkeys are working....but some time not...i'm using SENSEI Rom...help plz..

Often need to replace flex ribbon when this happens, if this happens across all ROMs then it is most likely hardware
If you don't want to open it up and fix it then get an app from play store like floating keys as a workaround
