I'm getting really irritated at the clock doing that crazy catch-up thing when the Diamond has been in standby for a while. I hate having to wait for the clock to flick to the right time, especially when I need a quick time check...
Does everyone get this or is it ROM specific? Is there a fix?
I use Swift's v.7 rom.
Duttys ROM
You're saying Dutty's ROM fixes this?
Oh come on fellas! This must annoy you too...
i haven't had it on Dutty's ROM, though i had it on Panosha

hmm
can u tell us how long it takes on ur rom ?
on my it takes aprox. 0,5 s
on Stock ROM takes 1-2sec
butt i noticed on stock rom...when i added call history tab...it took woow...30 sec or so...so i dont use call history tab in manila
It takes around 15-20 seconds...
I don't have a call history tab though.
My Diamond has started doing something similar the past 2 days. When I push the power button to bring up the screen, the clock says the last time the screen was up, then switches to current time. A bit strange. I'm using the stock Spring ROM. Any ideas?
I've had it on most roms. Its bloody anoying! And it comes and goes.
Mine takes easily little than half a second.
I saw something wired with clock, after midnight, lets say
00:40 , it start jump 1 by 1 till it arrive to 40, somehting
like 30-40 jumps (about 20 sec, every jump ~ 0.5 sec)
did u notice to this problem/effect ?
@arix, yep mine has done that before after midnight, I thought I was just really drunk the first time it happened lol.
Haven't had the problem for some time though.

Dunno what he is saying, but I can say Dutty's Roms does not fix it. At least not for me. I had to wait about 15/20 seconds when I woke my phone this morning, for the time to scroll forward about 50 minutes. Very nice to look at but a pain in the backside if all you want to do is check the time. Worst I'd ever seen it. Usually it takes only second or two.

Well, as usual after midnight i m drunk, but I didn't know the Diamnond drunk too
Well these are more of work-around solutions:
1. I use S2U2 and then when you wake up your diamond after sleep you get the S2U2 unlock screen first. It has a clock. So, I always get the right time immediatly.
2. There are a lot of different clocks to install in the theme section too, I bet not all of those have the same problem, especially not the analogue ones.
3. Just an idea, but what happens if you minimize the clock (eg. swipe up) during this behavior?
Hope this helps

My Tilt is waking up every night around 12:25 am. Since I also use it as my pager, I have to leave it accessible. It sits in a desktop charger. Hence, the light shines in my face and wakes me up (the backlight is turned down at night, but it's still enough).
So, why is it waking (me) up? Is it time for me to pee? Is it thirsty?
I don't see any running appts or anything that would cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Turn it over!!
Soz....
while charging if you press the power button ( for standby) the light will be off but it will still be in use. It wil come out of the standby as soon as there is some message or call

Ehm... so what you are saying that he is getting called or gets a text EVERY night at 12:35 am? thats a bit obvious isnt it?
My tilt wakes me up every night but the reason is cause I'm addicted to flashing the phone lol

Nothing nefarious here...
I am not receiving any texts or calls at that hour. Emails do not wake the device day or night. There are no "notifications" that need to be cleared. I had spb Time running, but deleted it (I think it was slowing things down). Sprite runs nightly at 10pm.
Is there any other place where something may be scheduled?
By the way, not that it's related, but my old Treo (years ago, 600 or 650, can't remember) had a flaw where it would wake up every night at exactly 1:30 a.m. or something. This turned out to be a system flaw that was present on everyone's device.
I had a similar problem a year ago or more.
It woke me up very early a couple of times and I was to tired to check out why.
It turned out that If I created full day events, the default reminder time was 18 hours before as default, so it woke me up at 06.00.
So now when I create full day events with reminder, I have to set it to f.ex. 10 hours before.
And I still haven't figured out where to change the default value from 18 to 10 in outlook.. Pretty annoying.
P.S. If you are using push mail and you don't want to get mail during a period. Go into Active Sync -> Menu -> Scheduling. And define a day and nigh sync. So it doesn't check mail during nighttime.
Still happening nightly. I'm half delirious whenever it happens, but I think the actual time is 01:45 or so.
I do not have any events like you described in my calendar. I am not using push email.
Any other suggestions?

Check with your power company. Maybe they are switching power grids about that time and it causes a 'brown-out'? The phone will always spring to life from sleep if the charge is removed then replaced.
In my area, this happens at around 00:30, somtimes OK, sometimes all the power drops for a split second.
I assume you mean the alarm goes off by itself? (It is possible to set alarms that only use the light, no sound.) I had this problem; the first day I got my Kaiser I stayed up late playing around with it and tested the alarm at around 2:45 am before going to sleep. The following two nights, even though I no longer had this 2:45 alarm in the clock settings, the Kaiser woke me up during the night, but I was too tired to check what was going on.
I remembered it was probably 2:45 am when the night alarms went off, so I figured my earlier alarm was somehow running in the background. What I did was, set a new alarm at 2:45 am, on the same slot that the old 2:45 was on (the first slot), set it on all weekdays, then toggle it on and off. I was hoping this would somehow ovrewrite/reset the information about the "ghost alarm", and I guess it did, since the Kaiser no longer goes berserk during the night.
Maybe there is some sort of bug or illogical functionality with the dismiss/snooze system in the alarms? Since the Kaiser has been around for a while I thought someone else would have run into it & figured it out.
my kaiser sometiems wakes up by itself too - i reckon theres some ackground task or process running that touches something inside and that wakes the device up - i dont know what causes it or why - simplest thing ive found is to literally just cover it up - bit 'hacky' but it does me fine - im not bothered if it does wake up just so long as it doesnt wake me up!
cant beleive you guys get nightly brown-outs - thats just crap - doesnt happen in this country
I got a Tilt with HTC wm6.1 rom and the clocks reaction time to the screen turning on is slow. Like, I turn on the screen and it shows the last time i checked, and takes about .5 - 1 second to show the correct current time. I know that doesnt seem slow but i like to check the time fast by turning the screen on and off. I searched the forums but couldnt find anything on it, or maybe im blind.
It even did this when i used the HTC home on the att wm6 rom.
Is there a fix for this? or is it an issue related with the slow GPU?
I have it. I also wait for the time its not an anoyance, just dont be so impatient

Im not exactly sure what clock you are refering to, but the reactiontime overal can be app. related. Meaning you have installed something that slows down youre system. Do a pim or full spb backup and hard reset and see if its still laggy. If its okey restore youre sms, contacts and so on you backed whit pim and start installing every app you want one by one soft reseting and test every time. That way you can short down to the application/software/program that slows youre device/clock down.

<img src="http://freewarepocketpc.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/baselsmsgpainter1.gif">
it was even slow when i first flashed the rom, fresh and new.
lol, yeah i guess i gotta wait .5 seconds more. hahaha
yes its slow
its slow for me too,
using a tytn II radio 1.65.17.56 with 6.1 official and the clock runs slow.
Its gets slower around 4-5 minutes within 4-5 days.
Cant reslove.
annoys me too. Turn the phone on, it displays the time from whenever i last looked. Have to wait a split second, which sounds silly, but it shouln't have to refresh like that!
I think it's all part of the same slow refresh problems on this phone.
When the phone is off its processor isn't running. When you turn it on, the OS will first have to do a short initialization, then will send a signal to each running program to tell it it has just woken up. The clock app will respond to that by fetching the current time and displaying it, which will take a split second. The time may well depend on the number of running apps as each is sent the signal in turn and will take some time to do its related task. If there are 10 apps before the clock one gets notified it will be longer.
Doesn't bother me at all, it's not nearly as annoying than on the Hermes where the screen itself would take that 0.5-1s to turn on after a press on the power button...
I experience this two times..
When do some usual thinks, something happened.. and TD2 not responding.. Soft reset.. Restart.. and Manila never start until hard reset.. Try everything.. Wait for a long time, soft reset, remove battery.. nothing works..
.. and i'm use latest asian 1.40 rom.. and also new radio..
I have noticed with my Diamond 2 that manila does freeze from time to time. However if I just leave it for 10-20 seconds all is fine.
Yep, manila freezes up on me a lot, especially when I'm trying to do something important quickly!
freeze
do you guys also have trouble typing when turned into landscape modus for messaging?
it always takes up to half a minute to respond accurately!
this is a little bit annoying.
(and sometimes I even have weird issues when turning, e.g. keyboard is only half there and in wrong position. issue is gone when turned back to portrait and turned to landscape the second time...even hard-reset didn't change anything...seems to be manila-related)

So you've never suffered a lag of a few seconds when using manila? Wow I get lag quite a lot, especially going to the music tab. If I'm playing through all my music in random order it takes forever just to display the current album art.
I also get a delay in keyboard feedback sometimes which is infuriating.
Try rotating the phone to landscape when replying to an SMS and count how many seconds the phone takes to react!
I sometimes get slowdown the the predictive text wheni recieve a text at the same time fromt he person i am replying too, but only for a few seconds. I have been usign the phone since the 7th, never had to soft reset, but have had to turn off/on (im guessing it comes to the same affect). And manila is just TouchFLO 3d right?

Oh come on! Try viewing or flicking through high resolution photos or viewing the music tab when you've got a long playlist or sliding across tabs as soon as you've unlocked the phone, the list is endless!
Try taking out the memory card. See if it still hangs?

It's a BIG improvement on previous TFL from Stock ROMs on Diamond and HD... I can tell you. It still obviously has it's moments as do most UIs but Windows Mobile 6.1 isn't the smoothest of OSs either so... Once we get cooking it will be much better that's for sure and I agree with your comment on another thread here, that once WM6.5 is out perhaps TFL will be redundant... but we'll see. In the meantime each to his own.
Hi there,
I haven't seen any lags on my device either...
Rom versions are different depending in our countries. That's were the difference is, I guess
HastaSSSS
P.S.- Nice to see you here, christonge. Long time no see, since the Diamond gps lag thread...

Yeah... that was a while ago! Good to see you here as well my friend
Okay. So if there's one thing I miss from Sense ROMs, it's Auto-Sleep. That was SO convenient. I have this new habit of just sitting my phone down since I use it a lot for looking at notes. I like how Auto-Sleep puts the phone to sleep in 15 seconds if it's laid down, but keeps the phone on while it's vertical. I think it changes the timeout to 1 minute. Nonetheless, it's a pretty nifty feature.
I was wondering if there's an app that can emulate this. Or maybe some Xposed MOD or something. LoL!! I was just using my phone for looking at notes and set my phone down. I forgot I had the timeout for 5 minutes and forgot to change it back to 1 minute. So my phone screen was just on while I had it laying there. LoL!!
I don't mind keeping my phone on for 1 minute, but 15 seconds would be better. LoL!!
EDIT: LoL!! I said "non-sense" as in "That stuff is nonsense!!" =.P
Hi all
I have noticed on my watch that say if I check the time at 12pm for example and then say at 12.30pm the hands Jump on the watch face from the 12 to 12.30... However other times when I look at the time the hands are at the correct time and do not jump.
Its not all the time just every now and then.
Anyone notice this?

Just to clarify what i mean, sometimes when i check the time, it jumps from the last time i checked to the current time, other times its on the correct time when screen comes on.

one further update the watchface "classic" seems to be the worst face for doing this
so has no one else experienced this? where it jumps from the last time you looked at it to the correct time, just on a few watchfaces and not all the time
