Time not updating in Sense?

This normally happens after I upgrade to a new ROM (doesn't matter which ROM) but not always.
I can have the HTC clock not displaying the right time, so for example:
- The big clock on the Home screen shows: 11:07.
- The little clock on the top right of the screen shows 11:18
- But if you press the big clock on the Home screen, it goes to World Clock and it actually displays the right time, which is say 11:36
Not sure why - sometimes 3-5 soft resets fix this, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone experiencing the same thing? I have G-Alarm and PhoneWeaver installed.
See attached screenshot

Disable time synchronizing in Phone settings.
Did you install a 01:02 clock flip fix?

Tried turning it off and reset, still the same.
I didn't install the clock flip fix. But even if I do, the clock on the task bar (top right) is still wrong (which is not part of the Manilla interface)
UPDATE: Anyway, after like 5 soft resets, problem seems to go away as usual..guess can't help it

Had such a problem on my old Hybrid ROM's. People where reporting it, however I personally never got it. So imho it's an issue with the timezone.

I've had exactly the same problem.
The time/clock in Sense seems to freeze on the hometab, but a smaller program (I use Battclock) is showing the correct time on the taskbar. If I go to "Start menu" and then back, the clock will flip and update correctly.
Haven't figured out the cause nor the solution. Anybody?
...and if it matters, I'm using "Co0kie's Home Tab" for modding the Home screen.

Easy. Just do a soft reset multiple times until it's fixed by itself somehow Make sure you turn off the time synchronization online like jackos said too

Firstly, turn the time zone synchronization is Phone settings.
If it doesn't work I'll provide you a bit more firmly steps.
PS Uninstall ANY 1:02 cloak fixes. There is imho just one version by amrullez (or whatever he is called, sorry) that actually doesn't freeze the cloak.

Thanks for your replies.
- I had Time sync. disabled under Phone settings, nevertheless, time freezing on home tab.
- I haven't installed any 1:02 fixes, but still the same clock freeze.
- Used both TouchLockPro and ManilaLock from Co0kie's Home Tab). Both of those lockers seem to display the time straight from Manila/Sense, so when the time froze on the Home tab, it was also frozen on the unlock screen (had to unlock each time and check the actual time on the taskbar (using Battclock).
I did find a "way" out of this (at least it has been working for almost a day now), although I'd like to find a more stable fix for this:
I installed the S2U2 locker (but I prefer other less memory demanding lockers). It seems as when S2U2 unlocks it "forces" home tab to refresh (similar to when I go to "Start menu" and then back). Will let you know if this fails.
Jackobs, have you got another way to fix this (especially so we don't have to depend on S2U2 or other "not quite" solutions)?

I'm using TouchLockPro too and I don't think that it does use the time from Sense
By the way, I'm Jackos not Jackobs Anyway Jacobs sucks, so please keep in mind that this coffee is ****
OK, be sure that the time isn't synchronizing with the internet. Sense -> Settings Tab -> Data Services -> Internet time sync -> Uncheck Get time from internet
Now the "hard" way. Usually the cloak freeze problem is related to autotimeupdate.exe. The file is in ROM, but we can just exclude it from loading at the start. Go to HKLM\init\ and delete the key called autotimeupdate.exe.
Remember, that I have never got this issue, but I had similar problems with my old Hybrid ROM's and a lot of users reported back that the issue is fixed by deleting this registry key.

Totally agree on TouchLockPro not using the time from Sense, but since it shows the Home tab with the flip clock "in the background" the time isn't correct when you want to quickly check the time (although the time on the little taskbar clock is right, but not quite as handy).
Also, all apologies for the name misunderstanding, Jackos, my bad =)
Will revert back to TouchLockPro from S2U2, see if the time continues to freeze as before, if so apply your fix and report if it keeps freezing.
Many thanks Jackos!!

Looking for a weather widget with precipitation

I tried searching but all I can find is a weather widget that shows the temp and the high/low temp. I am looking for a weather widget that shows the temp, high/low temp, and the chance for precipitation. Does anyone know of one?

Try the weather channel from market place. It works relatively well, radar functionality if decent.

Thank you for your response. I've used the Weather Channel widget before. It's nice but not quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the widget to show the temp, high/low temp, and the chance for precipitation without having to tap on the widget. If I wanted more detailed information, then I could tap the widget. The widget doesn't have to look pretty. It could just be letters and numbers without graphics. Any ideas?

Check out elecon weather hd. It has a couple of widgets including barometer, wind speed/direction and even moon phase.

Amishman, understood. Being a 2 wheeled junkie, I don't often rely on % of precip. I rather look briefly at the radar to make my own determination.

What about the android default weather app? When click on it you can slide your finger over and see the % and the time. Or you want a widget that shows it all at the home screen?

That's nice.... OP is $3 worth it just because you don't want to tap it to see more. That's your call. Good luck.

Palmary Weather FTW! Has Now, 2 day, 15 forcasts, comfort level, dew point, humidity, barometric pressure, visibility, wind and % chance of precipitation on forecast. By far the most customizable, up-to-date, accurate etc. weather application for Android. Also maps for now, radar, satellite, etc. as well as a very comprehensive charts menu. It is a paid app but by far really, really worth it! And last but not least it looks really good.

Yes, I was looking for a widget that showed it on the home screen.
I'm not really looking for a pay app. I was hoping there was a free app that I had missed. Thanks for all of the replies, much appreciated.

Here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20221226/WeatherWidget.apk
I do not take credit for the original app (along with some minor bugs )
But i did modify the source code to provide 12 hour pop (possibility of precipitation) from the NOAA.
The original project, weather data information, and image copyrights can be found in the info screen of the application.
The bugs i mentioned while testing out the new code:
Sometimes the location settings will not pull when you search for a location, just keep attempting or give it a minute and try again.
Sometimes there is an error pulling the data for a newly created widget, just delete the widget and try again.
Once you get a location and data for the widget it should be all good.
Minor note, while the temp data is 24 hour, NOAA only provides 12 hour pop, meaning the precipitation is reflective of the beginning part of the day.
I might try to mess around with it some more to tweak some of the bugs and maybe represent precipitation as a morning%/evening% to better reflect true pop.
The tiny widget i had to modify so it only shows POP, as the high/low/pop would not all fit in a 1x1.
hope it works for you!

Almost perfect!
Thank you for the app. It's almost perfect! There are a couple of things I have noticed. I don't see the current temp displayed. Also, the hi/lo it is giving me is for friday and it's thursday night. The pop that's displayed is 23% but for Friday where I live is 20% morning and 40% night. I'm not sure where the 23% came from, unless it was from this morning maybe.

Yeah the pop is for the morning, the NOAA kinda is a little goofy getting the data. I will probably rebuild the app in my spare time, there are a few bugs, and like you said it does not display the current weather. I will shoot you a pm once i get time to redo and add some features

Thank you! That would be great. I look forward to hearing from you.

Digital clock WIDGET out of sync on wakeup

Hello,
every time I go to wake up my phone in the morning I see the digital clock widget out of sync with the system clock (the one visible in the top right corner) which is correct (I leave the phone in airplane mode during the night).
I've also tried to change the digital clock widget with another one from the Market but the problem is still the same: it doesn't update the time.
The only way to update the time on the widget is to connect to the Internet.
Why the widget stops "running" when the Internet connection is missing? At least this is my impression.

It's a known issue that the stock clock widget would go out of sync upon waking-up..I've experienced that on my Mini, Ace &W..you'd need a third party widget from the market or google play that really syncs the clock accurately..you may want to try "bobclock", "beautiful widgets" or anything similar..the stock version just doesn't work..

No I mean the stock one. The one that comes bundled with the phone, when you power on the device for the first time. It's not like that one...

But this one is my stock one
Can you make a snapshot of your widget, so we can compare them?

I reply to this thread from my mobile (Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2) where I cannot see your signature. Now I reply from my PC where I can see your signature. Do you have GT-I8150, or not? If you have HTC, it doesn't make any sense that you post your question in the "Samsung Galaxy W I8150 > Galaxy W I8150 General" forum. Because your problem is not our problem. We haven't your widgets, you haven't our widgets, and I don't know if your HTC has a built-in screenshot function as our SGW.

Hey hey, be calm. I own a Desire S, yes, but I am posting in the right section because I'm talking about my father's phone, which is a Samsung Galaxy W.
Don't care of my signature.
As regard how to make screenshots: ops... It's like my Desire S
I tought it was a cooked ROM feature (Endymion)
Here we go for the SGW screenshots:
Actually you are right, I forgot the stock digital clock aspect, but I also had the same problem using the other one on the right with the black background.
Anyway the Beautiful Widgets one is great.

Ok, so next be more accurate please, because when you ask: "every time I go to wake up my phone in the morning I see the digital clock widget out of sync with the system clock" and when you have in your signature HTC Desire S, no one can guess that you actually ask about your father SGW...
But anyway, why have your father problem with the digital clock widget out of sync with the system clock and I haven't? What ROM version does he have? I have version 2.3.6 with built date 5.1.2012.

Perfect!!

How did you manage to have live tile Updates every minute?
I thought the min you can have is once every 15 minutes, when your app is on the lock screen.

After you start that app it will. You need the lock-screen permissions to allow the app to run in the background. It is how Microsoft manages background tasks

That is true background task/app runs one every 15 minutes. But you can do what ever you want in this 15 minutes. You just have a limit by how many cpu clock cyles the app uses.

Great app. Amazing how hard it was to find a good clock app that had a Live Tile.
Since you asked for input, how about adding the option to have multiple timezones in the actual app? Would eliminate the need for multiple clock apps and push my review from four to five stars. If you add this, don't make the mistakes many others have where you can add a timezone but not remove it or reorganize their display order.
EDIT: Would be nice to be able to simply disable the weather section rather than having to set location to auto and then block location permissions... Also, in 24 hour mode, why does it still say AM/PM? That's completely pointless.
EDIT2: Is there a reason why the live tile just stops being a live tile after a while? Or is that just a Windows 8 limitation?

Time Zone Problems

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HTC 10. My country (Turkey), I have no idea why, decided to stay in the daylight saving time, so now, we are at the +3 zone.
But dear HTC engineers, not like Samsung or LG or Apple or any other manufacturers engineers, didn't update the time zone settings on the devices.
So now I have two options. Keep the +2 and set the time manually. That's how I can have correct time on my lock screen and weather widget, but everything else is wrong. (Such as my calendar entries, times on social media apps and so on)
If I set the time as +3, then weather widget and lock screen times are wrong.
Since HTC sucks, I don't think we will get any updates about this issue quite soon. I just lost my patience and I am sure this is my last HTC device (I was a huge HTC fan, seriously, a user since HTC Diamond!), but anyways, is there any kind of fix I can do? Do custom roms fixed that or I can root the phone and fix it by myself?
Thanks everyone in advance for their answers

custom roms didn't fix it. There is nothing you can do. Maybe the nougat update will fix it but htc shows no intention to fix it since it is not sold much in Turkey. Same issues with me I'm on latest viper and had to set everything manuel. Just reinstall your social media apps while the time is corrected

Make sure the widgets are set to use the clock you want (for clock, open it, hit the three dots menu, set home time zone--it's probably set at your prior settings).
Also, wait a minute for it to update; it may not take effect immediately.

None of them works unfortunately. I still use my phone on wrong time zone and having calendar and other problems.
The main problem is the Clock application. Lockscreen clock and others are checking time from Clock App's database. Whatever I do with my time settings, in the end phone checks my location. Finds it, checks it's database for 'what time it is there' and gives the wrong time.
So I would like to learn something. If anyone with Nougat can confirm that, I will be really happy.
When you have automatic time and time zone, can anyone check World Clocks tab, and compare Istanbul's time with google. (Just google 'what time is it in Istanbul')
If they are the same, it means that HTC fixed it in Nougat and I will wait for an update.
If there is one hour difference, I will just root my phone, install a custom rom, get rid of sense and sense lockscreen and others...

I'm on Nougat, and the phone shows one hour earlier than timeanddate.com displays for Istanbul.

Real issue is that there is no Timezone rules update service.
The real issue here is that Google still has not provided a service that will update the timezone rules on an android (Or chromebook), without the need to do a whole OS update.
A simple service... just needs to get one zip file and put it on the darn device... They don't even have to build the rules directory contents another consortium already does this. Seems like a simple fix. They don't even have to push the update every time the db changes, only 2x per year. Middle of summer and Middle of winter so we catch the next seasons rules updates for fall and spring.
