any luck restarting the phone with advance killer turn off? u might have changed the setting to automatically kill the sense widget. also try removing the clock widget off and putting it back on. if u go to advanced task killer and press menu>setting uncheck autostart. then restart the phone and lets see what happens

i've done all that actually got rid off everything i had set up in advanced task killer, have tried getting rid of the widget and putting it back on a million times and it just deosn't want to work. i've tried everything and i have no idea why it isn't working, but it looked so nice when it did.

the widget you want is under 'clock'. so, on the home page you want to put it, hit menu, add to home, widget, clock (not analog clock) then hit the little arrow button at the bottom until you get to the flip clock with weather on it. select it. presto. you're done.

yeah k, i know that look at my screen shot.

anyone else wanna try this is so annoying.

BUMP for a problem that will probably affect someone other than myself.

hey mods can you guys move this to general or android development, maybe someone who can help me will see it there, and i would rather not make a new topic in a different thread. it's just really infuriating i have literally tried everything it hasn't been working right since saturday so i figured i would ask on here after a few days. this has to have happened to somebody at somepoint, it must be something simple i'm missing.

this used to happen on my G1 ..all u have to do is delete the widget from the home screen / restart phone / add widget again

Thank you will try.

Didn't work. Anyone else? Really like the widget I just wish it would work...

Reflash whatever ROM you are running over the top of your current ROM in recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe to do this and it should restore your clock.
If it still persists, then wipe and then flash your ROM in recovery.

under the setting part of the widget, try and set it to a specific location, not 'my location'. it may be that it can't find you. especially if you're on a wifi network

i'm not running a rom, haven't flashed anything. all i did was do unrevoked to get root for a couple of things, and i have it set to miami. with gps on and everything. though i am on 3g now and no difference.
all the widget has is the time, no date or anything and it says miami, no clouds no sun nothing.

Try downloading a rom..take the weather widget out place it on ur sd card install via astro ..

Verify your auto syncing it turned on.

[Q] Widgetlocker and Myn's Warm twopointtwo

So I have been running Myn's Warm for about 3 days now and I am absolutely loving it. But so far my one issue is with widgetlocker.
I'm easily able to install it, pull it to my computer, theme it, and then throw it back on to my EVO. And everything seemingly works fine. That is until i reboot it. After a reboot, the widgetlocker lockscreen is gone, and app itself is gone from the app drawer. After going into "manage applications" i see that a "com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk" is running. If it means anything, I was using a themed iphone slider, not the htc one.
thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question. I'm usually not one to ask them.

Nevermind, I found a solution:
Go into ROM manager --> Fix permissions --> Reboot

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...

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.

[Q] Icons in App Drawer Stack On Top Of One Another

Alright my friends, this one has me at a loss. Quick sitrep.. I've been using Fresh Evo for a while but I hated the G.B. updated cause there was just too much core functionality that wasn't working right, so I went back to Froyo and really didn't care too much. Last night I went ahead and ran the update to Fresh Evo 4.2.0.0. (GB) and all was well.
Turns out that on G.B. using Launcher Pro, when I open the app drawer and switch from portrait to landscape, effectively forcing the redraw with auto rotate...after it rotates the icons in the app drawer all stack up in the top left corner. One on top of the other...like a deck of cards. If I initiate a swipe they come back, but this is effin' annoying. I've been to Launcher Pro's website, seen a buttload of these reports on his site, but absolutely not one response from the dev, nor a remedy for this situation.
So, anyone here seen this situation and ultimately fixed it or might have a fix for me? I've already tried multiple fixes from wiping cache, trying again...NOT using titanium backup to reinstall app+data and installing manually from market, using the 3D app drawer effect and reinstalling the ROM entirely (even though I'm fairly certain it's not ROM related) Help?!

[Q] HTC Sense/Stock Widgets issue

The other day I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time and was shocked to find all my icons/shortcuts missing. On all 7 screens. I easily restored the items I had on my main home page like retro clock/date, market, internet etc.
The problem that is driving me effing nuts is the toggle switches I had on the 2nd page to the left of home, wifi, 4g, mobile, gps, etc. I cannot find them to add them back. I have gone to add widget>settings> the only 2 items listed are airplane mode and bluetooth and no others. I am not speaking of the power control option in widgets. I have tried to add from widgets, shortcuts, apps and folders. the toggle switches are non existent. Now I just noticed I cannot find the stock clock that comes preloaded on the phone. I use the retro clock from the market anyways but the stock clock is another item i cant use along with the weather page. I can add a shortcut for weather that i need to click to open the weather screen.
seems like a portion or all of sense is effed up or gone. What are my options besides a complete factory reset, assuming that would even fix this issue.
I am running stock rom with all current versions of SW

download from market?
There's lots of toggle widgets in the market.

Understood however getting different ones from the market does not explain where the stock ones went or how to get them back

A factory reset should fix your problem, unless the issue is within system itself. I'd just flash the stock rom over itself, wipe cache and dalvik only and see if that fixes it.

Ok thnx ill most likely end up doing that, I wanted to avoid having to do a factory reset but looks like I dont have much choice.
Another question, there is normally a spot in system info for htc sense version right?
Ok so after looking at running processes I discovered that htc sense is currently a cached background process and I dont have an option to restart it or anything.

Long press the screen where you want to add the widget. The go to Widgets > Get more HTC widgets at the top and the one you are looking for should be in there. I hope this helps.

Thnx. I know how to add widgets and everything else. The problem is when I attempt to add by going to widgets>setrings> the only 2 items that are listed is airplane mode and bluetooth, not the 7 or 8 items that are normally there. I also cant add the stock clock, weather widget or pretty much any of the items that are supposed to be there.
Today I did a side by side comparison with another stock rom evo, ome that works as it should and could not really find anything useful. Mine is simply just missing almost all stock widgets

I found the Widgets under settings. I'm not running stock so I can't duplicate. When my wife gets home I can use hers.
I find a lot just by going through every possible selection. You can find some interesting stuff that way

Ya you can. I know exactly where they are supposed to be they just are no longer there. I did a factory reset and it fixed it

Glad its fixed. I know how annoying a little thing like that can be. Funny how sometimes the simple things stump us the greatest!!!
