Does it bother anyone else that whenever you switch back to the home screen, the clocks reset the hands and do the little animations to spin to the correct location? The flip clock does it like it used to in TF3D too, the numbers flip over until they catch up. It seems such a waste of time and cpu cycles. I've tried the default Android clock and it is much calmer, it is always at the correct time regardless of whether you switch back or not. The down side is it isn't as attractive and doesn't take you to the clock app when you press on it.
Anyone else annoyed by this?
Indeed I find it a little annoying...not tried the different clock....
one question, are you able to change the type of clock on your profile?
I seem to be only be able to select different front clocks under different profiles (Scenes) so you are stuck with that clock for that scene?

You can just remove it, then add an HTC Widget and select 1 of 12 clocks (think its 12)

Genuie!!!!! Thanks dude!!!
I also found that when I changed my clock to the small one (so it still fits in the same space on the home screen), my Hero became much more responsive. It still adjusts the time with an animation every time I go to the home screen, but it seems way better. Others have suggested removing the People widget, but for me it was just a change of the clock.
Bugs the hell out of me, so much so I had to remove it.
Hope the new update fixes this problem.

I like seeing the clock flip over! I'm sure it does it by design too, it's not a fault/bug.

It is a fault, the clock widgets can't store the time. So everytime you enter the idle screen it updates the clock.

I don't believe it's a fault either, judging by the way it is animated. It is just designed not to update whilst not visible.

Most if not all of the HTC clock widgets do the animation.
However, on the leaked video of the new speedier ROM, I notice the clock never updates like that, even though it is the big one with weather combined. It just changes immediately, so maybe that is part of the speed up...
i use the smallest one, digital, but not a flip. number 5 i think it is.
yes, if you look closely you can see it update when you go back to the homescreen, but it is so fast, most of the time i don't notice it, and i'm certainly not gonna sit there trying to see it happen, cos it's really not that important to me...
Maybe they added a setting to enable / disable clock animation ?
Hope so as I quite like it.
On the CDMA Hero there seems to be a bug... IN the Clock app, home location and current location show the correct time but most HTC clock widgets insist on displaying the GMT time. What's up with this?

Hi All
I'm wondering if there's a way to animate the flip clock widget for the CDMA Hero. I swear that the Sense UI used to have it animate (at least that's what I remember seeing in the videos) but now it just instantly switches to the next number.
AFAIK 'flipping' animation of the HTC clock widget was removed due to it being a major contributing factor to the lag in Sense UI...

No, it was just perceived to be. On the old firmware, if you hadn't used the phone for sometime, or it was otherwise engaged on a task, when you went back to the screen with the clock widget you would see the old time and it would play an animated flip to the new time.
With the new firmware, you'll often see the old time, but now instead of using the animated flip, it just switches to the new time.
Personally, I rather liked the animated flip catch up.

Dave

In this case I don't really see the difference
With the flip, returning to the home screen and swiping while the flip animation was still going, or had just finished, there was noticeable lag before the swipe animation started.
Without the flip, no laggy swipe...
This was perceived with my eyes, and i'm struggling to think what other aspect of my perception held the truth. Maybe I should've tried licking the screen?

Without the flip.... but with the new ROM. I think you will find that it is mostly the other performance enhancements included in the new ROM that were responsible for the reduction in lag, and not the removal of the clock flip animation.

Dave
Flip was removed on the new ROMs for performance issues as other people have said.
However, the flip/animation is still available on some of the other clock widget styles. If you use one of the standard clock face type styles for the HTC Clock, these do have the clock handles spin round to the current time when you go back to the home screen. The flip was only changed on the defualt 'Digital' clock style I believe
Does anyone else clock have a strange glitch where by, when you first turn the screen on and unlock it. The clock reads 62 mins slow then flips to the correct time immediately.
My friend pointed it out to me. I never noticed to be honest but he has a Hero and because it's quite a lot of a slower machine it is really noticeable.
Maybe it's just a 'feature' to make you realise that the clock numbers have a nice animated flip
Yeah I have it also. I assumed it was the HTC developers showing off their animations.
Nothing to worry I thought

Spot on. It's meant to be eye candy.
There is a way remove this feature: [MOD] Disable 01:02 clock flip in Manila 2.1 and 2.5
Okay, so I've noticed that on both my lock screen and Clock app, that my alarm clocks don't show up as the Human Readable time format. For example, I have an alarm set for 6am tomororow (1/12/2010), and when the lock screen is showing it has the alarmclock icon and show "1263294000000" next to it, which is the epoch time for 1/12/2010 6:00:00 am. It also does this in the clock app on the app's home screen, but if I go into the alarms screen it shows up fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Weird. Mine shows up in a normal time. I've tried looking through the clock app, and system settings and couldn't find a way to replicate your issue.
Since yours is rooted it may have something to do with what youve flashed to it so far.
Or maybe not cause im rooted with cyan and just tried and it appeared fine

Lol. Yah. I've got a few friends around here that have basically the same setup. Not really an issue, more a nuisance. But I seriously don't get it. I'll probably try and reset later today and recreate it. I was just curious if any one else noticed this.
Strange.
I have another question for the clock app:
Is there a way to turn off the charging light and the backlight on the capacitive buttons when in the dimmed clock app mode? The screen is actually quite nice and readable in the dark but the bright lights next to it are annoying / wash the screen out some.
Maybe it's something in Locale settings? That's where I'd look.

Trust me, I went through just about every possible 'setting' i could possibly think of. I'm assuming it has something to do with a program i have installed. I haven't had the time to do a reset yet, but plan on giving it a shot later.
Here's what I know though, its not normal, and its not because of root. Seems no one else is having this issue. lol, WTF.
Is there a widget/widget combination, which looks like the clock you get when you do the unlock pattern. I really like the font. I also attached an image of a lock screen (I think the default android lock screen)which uses the same font.
I tried searching but looks like this is just too much for a search engine to figure out.
Thank you for the help.
I think the "beautiful widgets" clock uses the same font.

I think the beautiful widgets is not free, which means I can't install it legally, I can't pay for apps in my country, and the marker only shows free ones. Using the barcode scanner from the original site didn't work either.

Yes, it costs ~ 2$. I didn't know they were legal issues with paying on market in some countries. Too bad Where are you from ?
My clumsy English made that sound wrong...
It's not illegal as you get in jail, it's just not supported, enabled or allowed. By illegal I meant the only way for me to get that app is, you know, warez and stuff. The country is Slovenia.
Update: I found that the font for the desired clock is Clockopia, a subset of Storopia.
The quiestion is, is there a clock widget that allows you to select a font?
Hello. I have made a clock widget witch uses clockopia font. Tell me if you are interrestet. It is not on the market.

I would be very interested in this clock if it has configurable colors and background Maybe add a transparent black background like the themes in Minimalistic Black:

Thanx for sharing
Thank you for letting us test this app.
Here is a little feedback, don't take it the wrong way, I believe that you want to improve your app .
1. The clock is smaller than the area it uses (the 2x1 grid is filled about 50%, this makes the clock really small and there is a lot of unused space around it.),
2. I notice it is sometimes "out of sync". It isn't much of a problem because I've never seen be more than a minute away.
Please, do not take this as offensive criticism, I want to help you in your development of this great project.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

It seems that i might not be the right version you got.
The current version uses 4x1 layout, and updates every .5 minute.
I'm using the one you uploaded here. I will try to redownload and reinstall and report back.
PS: because it updates every 30s, it can sometimes display as a minute off (compared to the system clock in the top right.)

Here is the right version. 4x1, larger text and 10 sec updates.
Thanks! now it looks great!
New version again.
This version has ":" instead of ".".
Actually, the version I have now already has a :
Even with no padding, I still get a pixel or two width between the edge of my screen and my UCCW widget.
Ideas?
They haven't implemented widget padding options for Nova yet, even on the latest build--Apex has though, I suggest trying that.
EDIT: As for your UCCW widget, you could try to incrementally increase Background>Dimensions>Width by 2-4px at a time til you get what you want.
I hate that border

It won't help, I already tried. No mater how much pixels widget has, border is still there beacuse of that resize vector or whatever, I sure hope they will implement it. I'm buying it as soon as they do it. I am photoshop/customization junkie so it's really getting on my nerves!

Kidding aside it absolutely should work on Apex if you have widget padding and horizontal/vertical margins set to 0--click my sig; it'll point you to a thread full of proof that you shouldn't get any uccw border problems if you do it right
If you're still having issues I'll need more details bruv like grid size and general launcher settings. Msg me
