My alarm app randomly stopped working earlier. Found fix for the alarm issue that worked at least on my rooted phone. Went into titanium backup (free version), found the app "[ALARMS] clock..." and pressed it. I selected defrost and voila, the clock app was back in the app drawer, for now at least. Don't know why the app froze itself.

Uh no.
Clock App is missing. That means the widget doesn't work as it once did. No app, nothing for the widget to call.
Look at ALL the other posts around the forums from people with same issue.
Even the phone has the clock app grayed out in the all apps list and is listed as 0 bytes. HTC has acknowledged the problem. So it is a biggie indeed. Glad it works for you however, but mine and many others do not.

No need for the attitude, I was unaware it was this type of issue, I thought it was just the app not showing up in the app drawer. Are you not rooted?

Attitude was only in response to your shrugging off my problem as user error. I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue for the last week. Even more infuriating is that I took the time to do a factory reset and that was not a permanent solution.
Anyway, no I am not rootedand I'm not going that direction either as I am a corporate user and need to keep the phone stock.

Well all I can do is laugh then. I didn't take your clock away, I didn't tell you to do a factory reset. Like I said, I mistook it as a different situation. My clock app doesn't show up in GB either, but the app still worked, so actually I was trying to help and you be a ****. So Cheers!

The clock app goes away completely for most. Widget doesn't respond and no app in the drawer. If you go into applications in settings it is grayed out. If you had an alarm set before the app disappearing, it goes off as scheduled repeatedly with no way to access the app to change it.
However using my method stated in op fixes this issue for me at least. It does require root though.

See I just thought it was the literal clock widget missing from the app drawer, but the clock still worked.. cos that's what happened to me in GB, the clock works fine alarms and all but no app in app drawer, only way to access it is by clicking the clock on the home screen weather widget.
did you by chance delete the htclockscreen.apk? this has been known in the past to not be able to turn off the alarm. but I could be way off.

No, just running a rooted version of the stock rom with some bloat removed. The problem with the alarm clock is present in the official ota Rom though. For some reason, the clock app freezes itself and I just unfroze it.

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.

Unlock your phone, slide out the keyboard out and hold the space bar. It would put your phone in silent/vibrate and press/hold the space bar again to return back to the volume level. This somehow doesn't work if the phone is locked or in the music player.

I never had much use for it. I keep Google Music, TuneIn Radio and PowerAmp widgets on my music page. I use them as needed.
My issue with page buddy was that it "intelligently" decided what apps to show based on what you used the most frequently (or recently?) while in that mode and didn't give you option to manually add apps to the page.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never really used Page Buddy on my Note 2. That was partly because I didn't really find it too useful and also because I used Nova launcher, which automatically got rid of Page Buddy since it was a function of the Touchwiz launcher.
Spotify, PowerAmp as music widgets. Nothing else matters.

I hated page buddy lol. It was the first thing I turned off on my note 2. I was glad that it wasn't on the note 3
Ok for what it matters.....
I could have sworn I froze some kind of page buddy thing with Ti backup.....so after some thought...I went back into Ti backup and sure enough....I froze something called "pagebuddyNotiSvc 1.0" dunno if thats what youre looking for but it is frozen on my note 3.
Peace

im not rooted, but i did disable that as well in application manager. as i recall, when i plugged in my headphones, instead of the full page buddy from the note 2, i got a row of "audio apps" in the notification tray. since turning this off, that has since gone away. not sure what other functions are included with this besides the headphone triggered stuff. useless feature, IMO.

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 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.

It's preinstalled? It's the green app with an S. Should be in your app drawer if not check your application manager to make sure it's not disabled. Not sure if it even can be honestly.
Thank you, some how it got disabled.

It comes pre-installed but you have to open it once to have access to the heart rate.
If it was disabled, then this can only happen from the application manager menu.
Pedometer isn't really accurate. You can shake your phone up and down. And it'll registers it as a step. It's still cool though looking at health data through out the day. At work the other day I've walked over 6 miles.

I tested it. Went for a walk, counted close to 500 steps, and the pedometer registered within 20.
It works best in a pocket, not in your hand.

I haven't looked through the app uet, but I know on my S4 I was able to go into the settings for the set counter and set it up for my walking stride. I think it is generic from the get go and bases it off your height. I may take a look around and see if I can find the setting again. I do like using it.
When I used it on my S4 I counted a thousand steps and it was dead on. I was also checking the step counter on my work phone (a Casio Commander if I remember correctly) and it was off quite a few steps.
Anyone know how to remove the pedometer count from my home screen. I enabled it when I first got my phone and now I cant remember how to disable it.

Hrm, I thought that was a widget.. however I can't get a widget that looks like that on my homescreen from touchwiz. I can however get a widget like that to show up when I use apex.
Are you sure it's not a widget? Just long press on it and then drag to the top of the screen and drop on the trashcan icon.
If you are using another launcher.. the process should be similar.
