Just received my phone today. I toyed around with the phone and I noticed everytime I select something : task manager, program, volume. When the phone returns to the home screen the clock shows a time of 6:24 then it flips to the correct time. I had the Original Tilt and have never used Touchflo 3D. Is this the norm? It was cute the first time now it's aggrevating.
PS- I'm running stock rom.
Yep it's my location time running behind your normal clock.
I noticed the same thing too. The clock appears to start an hour behind and then flips to the correct time.
Its slightly annoying. =/
Happens on the stock AT&T rom. Don't know if it happens on other ROMs.

Ok you lost me. Can you explain?
Actually, mine starts 1:02:00 behind, then it switches to my current time. So I see the hour flip once and the minute flip twice. If you want to recreate this, just tap the notifications up top, close them, and then you'll see the time change. It's as if ATT wanted the clock to flip once when changing focus to it...
im using the tilt with a cooked rom and i have the same "issue. mildly annoying; would be nice to get rid of it
Unfortunately, it's working as designed. I believe it's supposed to be a "coolness" feature of the clock flipping everytime you go to the page.
I'm not sure I agree - you can see the behavior with the digital clock on device lock as well. There, it's not so cool. It really looks like it's doing something wrong.
Anyone know where to set 'my location' if you've gotten rid of TF3D?
me too
I noticed that the first day I got it on the Wednesday. I agree it is annoying and would like to prevent it if possible. I will keep looking to see if anyone comes up with a fix.
The other thing that I have noticed is that the SMS and or Email will just pop up for no apparent reason. I have it set to check my Email accounts every 15 minutes but I dont think it is on that time frame. It seems fairly random. Let me know if anyone else has noticed this that way I can see if it is something I have installed causing the problem.
Thanks, Kevin

It's the Time Zone Auto Fix package that is causing it...Just the way HTC is keeping your time accurate. Try disabling auto time check.
BG4 all also fixes it
Background For All includes a couple of flip clocks (clear and white) and also "fixes" this behavior. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572166

Assuming you meant the settings under 'Phone', this had no effect for me. Still flips. Going to try the Background 4 All & Flip Clock next. Thanks
The time between what's first shown and what it is flipped to / skipped to is about 75 minutes apart (I caught it enough times to see it happen). It's a very odd time to be off / different...
I've got this issue too, and I'm running the stock att rom for now. I agree, very irritating. I thought something was wrong with my phone until I found this thread.
It appears that the time is when I last looked at my phone, as if it's cached (either the time or what seems more likely - the screen) and then is updated and refreshed. I wonder if there's a way to disable this caching, if that's what it actually is...
Probably handled in the LUA scripts as they describe how the page is rendered & what action do what. My suggestion is try to find the Home Page from one of the other TP versions. They don't have the flip clock.
EDIT: The newer Sense 2.1 TF3D does this as well as animated the whole BG with the Weather on the Home page anytime TF3D looses focus & gains focus back. This means when you go to a screen that is not TF3D. An example is just opening & closing the start menu on a 6.5 ROM.
A fix for the clock issue
Here is the manila file to fix the clock issue...To istall you must disable manila and then total commander this file into the windows directory of your phone

You're on to something there. Fixed the flip but screwed up the clock. Digits are all screwed up.
Any ideas?
Thanks for working on this.
(copied from the tilt2 tips/problems thread)
Anybody know if there's a way to change the update interval for the weather tab in TF3D? I'm not even sure how often mine currently updates; I've seen it say "Last Update" as old as 3 hours. I most often see it as 2 hours, so I assume it's updating right around every 3 hours or so.
I'd like to get it to update at least every hour, if not every half hour. The weather here in Minnesota can change pretty quickly!
Does anybody know how to do this?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
That's a mystery to me, too. Under menu/settings, you can check "Download weather automatically." But it doesn't say how often and I don't see where you can set or change the interval.
Any ROM with Sense/TF3D/Manila 2.5 allows specified update times for stock, weather, etc. There's a link in my signature to EnergyROM, and it has TF3D 2.5. The only downside to TF3D 2.5 is that it doesn't support landscape, and can be slightly laggy at times.
I'm using the Energy ROM, but it's the newest one which had Manila backed off to 2.1 (I think).
Is this still possible somehow without going to Manila 2.5?
Thanks,
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me the “auto update” feature isn’t what most people think it should be. I’ve observed that if you have the auto update toggled on, it just means that every time you navigate to the weather tab and the weather is over 3 hrs old, your device will attempt to retrieve updated info. It doesn’t retrieve the updated info on a fixed regular interval in the background. You must navigate to the weather tab to trigger the update.
I do believe it automatically updates in the background after around 3 hours as well, because I have at times went to the weather tab and found it to be, for instance, 14 minutes old.
It's just annoying because I'm using a Today Screen that has the weather underneath the clock. so if it updates at, say, 7 in the morning and it's 31 degrees out, then I look again at 9:30am and the today screen still says 31 degrees, when its actually gotten up to, say, 42 degrees. That's what happened this morning...

Yeas, same behavior here.
Perhaps any registry edit?
Hope this can have a solution as it´s very annoying
Thanks,
Looking for a reg hack for this too .. seems odd that it does not update more often if you want it too .. i have unlimited bandwith so not a big deal to me ...
someone ? Help us ?
bump..
I too would like to know the answer to this, its annoying looking at it and haing o check the last time it updated Kinda defeats the purpose
I wonder i seem to not be seeing full animation on the home screen, just a short fade in. No Temperature either, any thoughts?
I am using Energy Rom with 2.1 on TILT2
After it auto updates, does it disconnect the data connection on it's own or do you have to manually disconnect it? I'm only worried that if the phone stays connected, it will drain my battery way to fast.
On mine the data connection stays on so i turn off auto update.

Try this instead: Download and install Advanced Config if you don't already have it (most cooked ROMs do), run it, tap the "Menu" softkey, then "More Settings" then "Connections". Then, check the "Disconnect after:" box, and set it to whatever you like (mine's set at 5 minutes). Tap "OK" at the bottom, exit Advanced Config, soft reset and the changes will take effect. In my experience, your battery life will be much better after doing this.

Ok that makes sense Thanks for the tip. I don't have Advance Config tool but i'm using Tweak UI and it has that option too.
I'll see how it goes
SOLVED!
Got it working folks! I added the reg entry from a Sense 2.5 ROM, and can confirm that I've got it auto updating weather every half hour!!
Create this DWord entry in the following key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
Dword Name:
Weather.AutoDownloadInterval
DWord Value:
30 (Decimal)
Change the value to whatever time you want in minutes. Reboot. Voila!
Enjoy!
SOLVED - Can set Sense 2.1 weather update frequency!!

NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKIN ABOUT!
Excellent work bro. Been looking for this for a looong time.
Checking it as we speak.
Any trick for automatic update of the weather image.
I mean for example: now is night ... I update the weather application via internet ... the image is e.g. the moon (but I also have the meteo for next 3 days)... If I don't update again, the image of the moon still remain even at midday and don't change also the day after. Is it possible to have an image that change updated with the clock? I don't want update constantly via internet for having a correct image on my today screen
SPB weather do this correctly.
Sorry for my bad english ... I hope you can understand.
Thanks in advance.

The image updates with the weather...because it displays the weather, not just day-or-night. I mean, it doesn't show just a sun or moon, it can be sun-with-clouds, moon-with-rain, etc. So that's why it doesn't change if you don't update the weather. If you set it to update once every hour or two...that's a very small hit on battery life.
Okay, this "hack" is behaving a little strangely. I absolutely know for certain that it essentially works - my weather has updated every half hour numerous times now. But, if you've got a weak signal and the weather CAN'T update at the required time, it seems to break. It has happened once now, and I looked at the weather tab and it said last updated 1 hour ago.
What I SHOULD have done then was just wait, to see when it finally tried again. But instead I hit the update button and updated it, after which it worked as it should and updated every half hour.
So, once it "breaks" by not being able to retrieve the update, I need to find out how long it waits after that, and if it DOES finally auto update again, whether or not it sticks to the half hour interval after.
I'll keep an eye on it and let you know what happens. In the meantime, I absolutely suggest adding that reg entry! No ill effects so far, even once "broke" I'm certain it will auto update again eventually. Plus, it doesn't fail to update often at all (only when my signal is at like 1 bar), so for day to day purposes this should be excellent.
And like I said, if it does fail, you just have to manually update it once and it's back up again.
GOod luck, let me know if anyone else experiences this. I just tend to go to a few places with no signal alot...
THanks,
Jeff

Jeff.....thank you soooooo much for discovering this!! Im going to try this asap !! I have been wanting to autoupdate the weather at a specific time interval forever. Also, if someone could cab this or better yet add it to advance config or other config app which you could easily edit the time interval...that would be luv. Thanks again for this.
p.s. could you post which rom and radio your using..
My pleasure!
It's still a little flaky, but I think that's because the URL for the updates is being flaky. I tried a manual update 4 times before it was successful. THen I set the interval to 10 minutes, and it indeed updated appropriately every 10 mins. So again, it works, but it appears we're at the mercy of the server that's dishing out the weather info.
I'm on the Energy ROM from 11/08/2009 and I'm using the 4.49.25.05 Radio.
I would absolutely cab this up for you, but I have not learned how yet. So until someone else can, you're going to have to make the reg entry by hand.
If someone does cab this up, might I suggest making several cabs for different update times. Perhaps a 30 minute, a 60 minute, and a 15 minute for the really hardcore junkies?
Thanks, good luck, and enjoy the more frequent updates!
Hi
I've just had the OTA update for my Z5 Premium to take it to Android 7.0
BUT since the upgrade, there are three issues I'm having, can anyone point me in the right direction? (Have and am still googling)
The phone app no longer has a built in answer phone, I assume the previous phone app was a Sony one? or is it the android stock app and the answerphone feature is no longer available I miss that loads, especially as my service provider charges me to check my messages that it takes (previously only when I was out of signal) - is there a work around or alternative app available?
My alarm still goes off ok, and it wakes the phone up, but the alarm does not show on the screen with the slider for off/snooze. I have to unlock the phone, swipe down the notifications, select the alarm notification then set off. OK it's much better at actually waking me up as I have to do so many actions to silence it, but I really would love to have my snooze back.
MPE, MyPhoneExplorer. I have also asked this one over on the MPE forum, but since the update, when I use the Manage Phone setting, I get a blank screen on my PC as if I was viewing a screen that had been set with FLAG_SECURE, but I can still interact with it (by guessing the approximate location of buttons!) To get the remote control, MPE uses the Cast Screen function I think.
Any help from you guys would be really appreciated as always.
Thanks
I do not have any problems like this. Do a clean install. Wipe Dalvik Cache was done after updating. Instead of updating, you install zero rom. Otherwise there will not be a clean installation.
1, rom installation
2, Wipe Dalvik Cache
3, system reboot
Thanks ayhanornek,
So are you saying the phone app used on Android 7.0 has a built in answerphone feature (not redirect to carrier) as it did on Android 6 and that it was not a Sony phone app?
Also, have you used a remote phone manager that uses the Cast screen function, could you please confirm?
I only ask as the ART cache is not likely to cause issues like those I am having, well possibly the MPE issues, but as I am pretty sue the server is using the built in CAST function, that would not have code in the ART cache would it? Certainly it would not result in settings not being displayed.
I have already tried clearing the cache associated directly with the alarm and MPE server cache but this has not helped.
Thanks in advance.
My previous Huawei phone had some extra power/app management settings but in this new EMUI it seems expanded and more difficult to understand.
What I really want is to just let apps do what they want or let Android manage them. It seems, though, I either have to let Huawei manage them automatically or manually manage them by those three settings (allow auto start, allow start others, allow background). Is this correct? Am I missing something on this?
I also disabled the power usage notices that come up for apps (per app). Wish there was a universal disable for that.
The manual adjustment screen.
Are you running a L29?
On my older Huawei phones, I always turn everything on. I only have the apps I need, and I trust that none of them are malicious, so I turn them all on.

That is kind if my thinking too, but the feature wording is awkward. I am not clear, if I just turn auto to manual (for all) then does that let them ignore Huawei's thing? Also, it seems any new app defaults to automatically controlled.
It also isn't real clear on that second setting page, the manual controls, does that toggle on mean manual control (not Huawei) is on or does it mean auto (Huawei) control is on? In other words, does that toggle mean yes the app can do what it wants or no it can't?
My current thought is that if auto is off on the first page and I use the second page grant apps the permissions that I want (those checked can do that thing) then apps will run without Huawei interference and according to their own setup and whatever Android limitations exist (and of course, whatever limitation those checks and unchecks would imply).

Yes it is awkward how they word it. Huawei software kind of sucks. On older phones it was very aggressive with permissions and killing processes. Believe it or not, this has become easier over the years.
If you have hundreds of apps, then maybe pick and choose what you want. If your like me who only uses maybe 20 or so core apps, then I'd turn them all on.
On my AL00, after the update, the list is no longer there. You need to go into battery usage and then click on the individual app, then app launch.
The problem: GBWhatsapp, after the phone is locked for a while, gets its bg service killed, making it unable to receive messages (and Whatsapp Web from working) until I turn on the phone and launch it again.
I tried tweaking all revelant settings, as per this guide here from this post , even doing the hold-and-lock-app thing in the recent apps menu. Only thing I couldn't do, due to the setting not being there in MIUI 10, is turning off Memory Optimization.
After checking in the developer options ("Running services") it seems the process does in fact keep working, but the "MessageService" that usually runs is killed.
The problem is not with the GBWhatsapp mod itself, as in my previous Samsung phone it worked with 0 issues. Any idea on what to do? I'm tempted to just make an AutoMate flow that periodically launches GBWA.

The same heappend to me. You have to set energy optimization to no restriction and set the app to autostart.
I fell no downside on battery life.

Well... Look into notification settings, permission... Give it all. Are you up to date on whatsappgb?
What rom are you using?
Rom is stock MIUI 10, and all notification settings are ok. Also gave it all permissions avaiable, and I downloaded GBWA from the website yesterday since this was a new phone.
same problem in realme phones..not getting online toast feature also..its workng old phones without any pblm..
