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.

Hello.
Same clock problem here.
Any idea of how have it on lockscreen?
Thanks.

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!
Luigi.

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.

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.
So I enabled the option to show current locations weather conditions from the lock screen, however on the lock screen all it says is:
"Unable to display weather data"
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a workaround? Does anyone have the weather conditions working for their lock screen?
Same here. Note 2 and my sg3. Even on official rom. Help us

Been like this ever since I got the phone on Friday. =\ It was like that on the stock ROM and still exists on CleanROM 2.1. I've tried rebooting and everything.... Oh well, I'll just let it sit for a while and see what happens... Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of this soon
same problem here on sg3
I had the same issue on my s2x and what solved it for me was to load the accuweather.com widget onto the homescreen, and update the weather. That got the weather to show up.
I then deleted the widget and the lock screen still shows the weather.
Mine shows up but hadn't updated in days
Hey fellas! I recently flashed a new Sammy ROM and had this problem... Found an easy fix in no time:
Navigate to Settings>Application Manager and clear data for the Weather Daemon and Weather Widget/Weather Widget Main, Force Stop them and then re-add your locations and check again.
Hit Thanks if I helped
Worked!!!!

Thia solved the problem....
First, I know this is my first post. I've searched for answers the past hour all over this site and the internet but can't find anything. I successfully rooted and put CM10.1, nightly 12/27. I chose that one since I saw many comments saying that they are having the least issue with that one. Here are some problems I'm having:
1. Google Now is not working. I installed GAPPS twice to make sure it didn't mess up the first time but still no luck. When I hit the microphone icon, I get an error that says "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped". It disappears real quick.
2. I think I may not have all options available in my lock screen settings. After reading up online on what you can do, many people are able to add things like weather, news, etc in their lock screen. All I see when I go into the settings is Screen security, Battery status, Slider shortcuts, and Button actions.
I'd appreciate anyone's help.
Google now works fine for me. On the lock screen swipe down on your clock widget and you can swipe left and right to add more pages and widgets

I'm only seeing 4 available widgets...calendar, digital clock, gmail and messaging. I have a lot more than that on the phone.
As for the Google Now, if that doesn't work, could that be a problem with the nightly update that I used?
I'm using the illusion rom and the gapps linked in the op and it works. You can't put all widgets on the lock screen. Apw and beautiful widgets is what I'm using

Just uninstall Google search and reinstall it from the play store.

About the widgets, you can only add the widgets that are designed for the lockscreen. You need to mod the guts of the ROM to allow regular widgets to be placed on the lock screen.

I couldn't uninstall Google search but I updated ur and it started working. I don't know why I didn't even think of that. Thanks a lot.
As for the widget...so which one did bfranklin a few posts back use? When searching for widgets I wasn't able to find out whether they can be used for lock screens or not so I'd like to try one that works.
I noticed just 1 more issue. I set led notifications for my texts. The problem is that when I get texts, the led works but as soon as my display goes out the led stops flashing.
If anybody has a noob guide for modded roms please let me know Lol. I came from an old blackberry to an android so imagine.
Widget Locker had been working flawlessly for me for several weeks, but all of a sudden I started having issues with it yesterday. I'm no longer able to add any widgets to my lock screen. I'm able to add custom sliders, applications and shortcuts. Whenever I try adding a widget nothing will happen for about 5 seconds and then the app will close and open itself up again. Can anyone suggest any possible fixes for this? I have already tried uninstalling the applications and re installing it as well as shutting down my phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Only other thing I can think of is resetting your phone. Since you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling widget locker. Are you using a third party launcher?
Just wanted to add that you aren't alone. I just installed Widgetlocker tonight and I have never been able to add a widget. I get the exact same behavior you describe. I accidentally deleted the LOCK widget and I am unable to add it back. I'm stock rooted.

Exactly the same! stock ROM but cant add a widget! Any help?
Hello,
I am on Stock OS version 3.2.4, did not touch anything from the staryt, with Nova Launcher installed. My widgets that tell time from different parts of the world and a countdown is not updating regularly.
Is this a one plus 3 problem? Anyone encountering the same issue? Is it a connection issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Do you have any battery saver type of apps installed. Sometimes they can be aggressive and interfere with widgets. Double check widget settings too.

Did not install any battery saving app on my phone. Stock as is. Updated to 3.2.4 OTA.
Also checked app settings and nothing seems to be about updating of widget frequency.
I tried to keep my desktop unlocked but the problem persists.
The 2 apps are Countdown and Perfect World Clock. And both of these are displayed on my main home screen. Is this an app issue? Are you guys not experiencing any of this? I have a calendar widget displayed, but not on main screen and it seems to update with no problem.
