**(SOLVED)**I have a slight problem that started recently with my phone, and was hoping someone would know a possible solution or have heard of something similar.(before i go on, i have searched around the forum for a while, and saw no issue that is very similar)
Firstly, i have the stock htc/at&t rom, stock radio, basically everything out of the box aside from a bunch .cabs and games.
Basically, on my today screen, in the top right corner it displays the network coverage (i.e. 3G, HSPDA, EDGE, etc...), the volume setting of my phone(ring, vibe, silent), the battery icon, and the task manager.
Currently, the battery status indicator says full, however when i touch it and the battery power remaining screen comes up it shows 55%.
What i have figured out has happened is that the battery icon in the top right will display whatever charge the battery is at when i turn on my phone, for example if my phone is plugged into a charger and i turn on the phone, until i reset my phone it will display it as being plugged in. So while once i click on it - it will show me the correct battery power remaining, the actual icon itself is not working properly.
[its not so much the that it not working affects me very much, its the fact that it should be working and isnt is quite irritating]
currently the .cabs i have installed are:
HTC home customizer
Pandora Touch 3G dialer
A_C S2U2 (slide to unlock)
pocketmax quote today
jizy HTC action screen
HTC HTC Plus
Spb Time
HTC HTC Home
Of those, i have narrowed it down to probably being cause by the Slide to Unlock program, 3G dialer, or the HTC home customizer, but these are just guesses based on the time i installed the .cabs(usually do a few at a time), and when i noticed the problem started occuring.
As well i might mention that the .cabs i installed might not be the most up-to-date, so if anyone knows that an older version of a cab i have produced a similar problem, than it might be because i have that older version. like i said i have searched for a solution to this problem, but haven't had any successful results.
thanks.
bump.

did you ever install the battery icon installs from the thread below?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289003
also you can check this registry key...
HKLM/securoty/resover/bitmaps
If you have 2 keys in there titled "BatteryIconIdStart" and "BatteryIconLevels", that could also be the issue.
Let me know if you have either of these keys in your registry.
Solved
tnx for the suggestions guys, but i found the problem to be in the Touch 3g dialer(not sure exactly where).
Uninstalled and problem is fixed.
So a word of warning, Don't Install The Touch Dialer. lol.

I am having the same problem... just uninstaller the touch dialer, but unfortunatley, did not seem to fix the problem. I'll try reinstalling the battery status icon's mentioned above as well (I had previously installed them) in the morning... but for now need to get to sleep. I would like to know if anyone else using the touch dialer is having this issue though.
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.
the htc home digital clock
<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...
Hi,
I'm a victim of weird problem that occurs on my SE Xperia X1 phone and affects the clock.
Generally, after going into standby mode something is happening with system clock and after switching the phone on the clock is late - sometimes just few minutes, sometimes few hours.
This bug appears only sometimes and the soft restart seems to solve the problem for a while (the clock updates itself to correct time), still it is very unfortunate bug, especially when you use a phone as a alarm every morning
Did someone had such problems with X1? and perhaps know the way to solve this problem?
best regards
piotr
my x1 seems to freeze about once per day when docked. usually the only way that i notice is when the clock is stuck (i.e it's still stuck at 15:30 when it's 16:15). the other thing that happens is that for some reason the default theme is applied when i open the start menu (i.e the start menu colour is the same as the genric windows theme colour) ...
a reboot fixes this issue. so far this has only happened to me when i've been docked (as far as i'm aware) so it may have something to do with activesync ... ?
hardreset is the fastest way to solve "strange" problems.
do it and check without installing anything. if it happens again your xperia has something bad, if it happens again after installing software, then there's some program causing it.
I got the same thing.
Very annoying.
Only noticed it with the new R2A roms though..

doh ! i was hoping that the new firmware solved the problem. :-(
Thanks guys! Today I updated Xperia to R2AA10 and so far I did not install any new software (it is hard to resist though. I'll let you know if that solved clock thing
Guys after the R2AA10 update the clock problem is still there. No programs install for 2 days, and today suddenly, clock has gone 1 hour back...
What is going on?
This happens only in 2nd and 4th panel. The clock is normal in the 1st panel, and in the panel with the fish...
What should i do? I tried soft, hard reset, everything!

I would not say it is a matter of panel - on my Xperia this problem occurs in first panel (even after updating to R2AA10
Hello,
I have the same problem with the Htc Touch Diamond after updating to the latest official ROM:
ROM: 2.03.483.1 FRE
Radio: 1.09.25.23
Protocol: 52.51.25.26H
Windows Mobile 6.1 build 20764.1.4.3
I think it might be due to some bug in a power saving feature...
Has anyone got a solution?
I have a part solution
it happens on the SPB panel for me, its the 4th panel for me also.
if yours it the 4th panel too then try moving the panel to another place.
if that doesnt work then i know this deffo works as iv used it, goto the today panel, leave it there for a few minutes (10-20) then go back to the panel which has got the bug, you will notice the time will be in sync and the problem goes away. It happens from time to time, sometimes weeks apart so as much as its a pain, i can live with it. I dont know if it affects the alarm when the time stops.
I have the same problem with the clock. Was looking for a solution here and found this topic. Funny thing is, I have also the spb mobile shell panel and it is on the 2nd place. I will try the trick of safdl and hope that the problem will solved. And about the alarm, freezing of the clock doesn't effect the alarm.
Same here
The same problem here with an HTC Diamond Touch... however it looks very random to me. Any solution or clue about what is happening?
I solved this
My Touch Diamond had the same problem : the clock was never right. so I downloaded the advanced configuration tool and turned on every single power management option and it seems to have fixed it. hope it will work for you too.
I tried this one. But it's not WORK!!!! HELP!!!

Hey All, I've have recently flashed Touch-it V4 to my Xperia, but now the clock keeps on randomly changing the time on me. Usually puts it out by an hour, or sometimes 15mins. I've tried putting day light savings time on, selecting my city etc but still randomly changes the time on me.
Also noticed if I set my country, it will randomly change itself as well. Eg. set it to New Zealand, then go back and check and it will be on Fiji??
Anyone know how to fix this?
Is super annoying as messes up my alarms & appointments, nearly missed my flight the other day.
Cheers
Same problem here. Seems to be a TF3D bug. It doesn't seem to recognize daylight savings time. It keeps switching me to the "Bogota, Lima" timezone which is 1 hour behind my real timezone of Eastern Standard (US).
I'll have to use a different panel for now to keep my schedule/alarm on time, probably the SPB Mobile Shell.
Alternatively I could just use "Bogota, Lima" time and set it 1 hour ahead, but then every time I sync the phone, the time will be reset to 1 hour behind and throw my calendars off.
Yea is a right pain, fiddled round with it so much but still can't get it to work
uGo check your iGo?
I had that problem and found it was iGo set to an incorrect time zone, so each time I started the program it changed the time.

I had this problem, it was so anoying with syncing
go to the "settings">select "phone">select the "time zone" tab, and untick automaticly change timezone or whatever.
I have a htc diamond, but should be similar/same as they both WM

try ticking the check mark...it worked for mee and then soft reset
I'm fairly certain it's a TF3D bug and whether or not that option is ticked won't make a difference. If you live in a time zone where they observe daylight savings, touching the time on the TF3D home tab will change your time zone to one that's 1 hour behind. If you go back into your clock settings and set it to the correct time zone, it'll be ok until the next time you press the clock in TF3D.
So the short term solution is to never press the time =)
SMS timestamp too
I'm using Touch-It 4.0 II.
I'm also experiencing my time shifting by an hour and that my system clock and alarm settings keeps resetting itself back to Bogota, Lima.
Also, my incoming text messages' timestamp is now always 5 hrs in the past.
Is the clock setting from Touchflo 3D supposed to be aligned with the system clock and alarm settings?
Got the same problem before. Able to fix it by making sure the time settings on my computer where i actively sync my phone are the same. That is time, date, time zone, and if DST settings are checked or not.

Is def a problem with touchflow, flashed generic rom back & now phone is working fine again
+1 on this...
Time zone
I read somewhere that the reason text messages were coming in 5 hrs off was that the Rogers tower was doing its own 5 hr timezone offset on the messages so I ended up getting messages with a timestamp of 5 hrs ago. But I never experienced this problem on my Vox so I don't know. I haven't tried to reflash my ROM to a generic and receive text messages either.
Did anyone else notice this SMS timestamp problem only after flashing to a touchflo 3d rom?
Anyone know if this is fixed in touchflow ver 5? Never had the problem with v3
try not to run any navigation apps..i found out my garmin always changing my time every timr i start the apps..
I ad the same problem
In settings of my navigation (Polish AutoMapa) i can turn off synchronization of my time with gps. (sry 4 my english)
The issue im speaking of is the actual home screen clock. Every morning I have to re set it because it ends up becoming off by a few hours. I searched this forum and couldnt find anything. I had also posted the question in the Energy rom thread, but it kept getting swamped out by random question. Im running a tilt 2 FYI.
Any help appreciated, thanx

Did you set your time zone? Did you turn on or off internet time sync? Did you uncheck get time from network under phone settings? Any of these could be the cause of your problems...
Im feeling really dumb this morning...My alarm didnt go off this morning because of this same problem. And I cant for the life of me figure out hwo to make sure the clock is auto updating to the network.
Im running Energy Cookie Reference. I have seen the settings before...but cant locate them today.
Time synchronization?
Hi.
Do you have the automatic time synchronization on? Try to disable it.
Settings -> Personal -> Phone ->
or
Sense settings tab -> data services -> internet time sync ->
Hey thanks for the response...my settings are different though. I found the setting in BSB Tweaks and turned it off...only time will tell if it helps though...we will see if my phone fails to wake me up again tomorrow...
Left Energy yet again because of this issue...I dont know a whole lot about the technicalities but it seemed to me that the phone is 'going to sleep' and actually losing track of the time thus keeping my alarm from sounding in the mornings.
When I hit the power button to wake the screen up in the mornings it would be displaying a time that was hours behind and seemingly random (what lead me to believe the phone was in a deeper sleep than normal). Possibly a really stupid theory...but like I said I dont know a whole lot. I just know it was way unacceptable in my case.
I will still monitor his threads like always and try the latest and greatest ROMS.
Clock Issue with Energy romArrow
I think the problem you are having is the windows alarm bug. I used to get this all the time until i started using g-alarm. it fixes the issue when you first install it. (note that its a paid app.) but here is the description and the registry edit that you need to change to fix the problem.
can't post the link soo you will need to copy and paste the url below if you want to view the webpage.
ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/support/manual/limitations
Windows alarm bug
Windows Mobile has on some devices a strange behaviour: Although an alarm is successfully added to the WM notification queue (it's like a scheduler) it doesn't go off.
Searching the web gave me following information:
At midnight WM rebuilds the notification queue, therefore it wakes up for about 15 seconds. If the notification queue is too big or the device too slow WM goes to sleep again before it could finish building the queue for the next day.
If you force WM too stay awake for a longer time, it should successfully build the queue on at least more devices.
If you start G-Alarm and it complains about the Windows alarm bug, you've got the default WM settings (15 seconds WakeUpTime). If you press "Yes" G-Alarm changes it to 120 seconds which should be enough.
Here are the registry values G-Alarm changes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ACResumingSuspendTimeout
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattResumingSuspendTimeout
