Hello,
I am enjoying the Hero builds but I have a "request" at anybody who can help me/us:
I would like to use the HTC weather widget but it does not seem to update for about 4 hours or more.
It would be great when it would update hourly so I would not have to start the weather app which always delays the loading of the home screen so I have a lag about 10 or more second ...
Is it possible to change the update frequency somewhere in the app?
Do you know why there is always the com.htc.dcs.impl & com.htc.dcs.stock running when using the weather widget?
Would be really great if you could help me with this update thing, thank you.
Why dont you just update it manually? I think on the bottom of the weather widget if you click on the little bar it should update. I cant be 100% sure on this cause I'm on cyan 3.6.5. Please someone with hero correct me if im wrong.
neone notice tht the flip clock widget is only slow when weather is enabled..so when u install hero n u got no wifi its without weather so its fast....neone know how to make it flip clock w/o weather ?

Yes, you are right when you use the biggest widget which needs a full homescreen.
But when you use the two smaller widgets (I have it on to left at my main homescreen) there is no button for update - so the only possibility is to change the config somewhere I think?
Has really no one any idea?

I believe the only to have the flip clock with out weather is to not have the weather set up for your location. Correct me if I am wrong. I have seen the clock without weather after using the hero roms and was puzzled because I had no weather. I set it up and it appeared. The opposite thing should work for you.

i think the only way to get the flip clock without weather is to not have your clock set up
let me elaborate
when u select the clock app you have cities set up right?
like i have atlanta on there
and then u also have the timzone clock and the extra clock i always have that shows up which is gay but w/e back on topic
when u select the flip clock from htc widget screen it asks u to select a city
if u select current city (not an actual city name) the weather wont show up on the clock
thats the only way i can get the clock without weather
hope it helps :-D
JUST install the weather widget from the market it contains the clock from hero and the weather...works on the Cynaogen build...1.49 from market but works good...

I think when you press the current city it looks for your location

yes, but I know how the weather is at my current location - also it does not update automatically ...
if you want a flip clock without weather, try retro date (and clock) from market

Maybe it works like the flip clock/ weather widget. When I wanted to change the frequency (update interval) the only way I could find was to drag the widget to the trash bin and then re-launch it from the home screen (like most widgets) then it asks for location and update frequency like a fresh install.

hmm - the HTC Weather or flip clock widget does not ask for the frequency ... I think it must be in the file / apk - but where & how?
I'm looking for a flipclock without weather on it as well....
Solved the update frequency issue if you're still wondering about it.

Htc Flip clock
I'm Running the largest flip clock with weather on latest cm build with no issues make sure you have it exluded form any task managers
Hey..
I have the flip clock on my main home, but every time i lose wifi or turn it off it says forecast error and doesn't even show the clock at all. This is getting completely annoying and it stinks when i get it in car or leave the house my clock goes away along with my wifi connection lol. Is there any way to avoid this, or maybe another app that features a similar flip clock? Thanks!
I got rid of this app for that reason. I live in one the 50 largest cities in the US with 3G and that app just sucked at getting me weather, and at times would have a time off from the phones clock.
I don't see the point of the flip clock, or any clock when the phone displays it in the upper right.
I used Desmondes paid Weather Forecaster, seems acurate and updates. I also use Weather Bug since its free and can show the temp on the status bar.
Anyone know what we can do here? I don't have an Android 2.1 device to get the Clock application from but it would be really nice to have as an alarm clock, etc.
My other two android devices run Froyo, so I can't help with getting the Eclair clock app, but there are plenty of options if you search for "alarm clock" in the market. I tried a couple that look very similar to the stock android clock app (Better Alarm Clock and Alarm Clock PlusV2) and they did not display properly, as the bottom half or so of the button bar was cut off by the B&N modified status bar in both portrait and landscape, so the stock app may not work right even if you had it. Gentle Alarm, on the other hand, appears to work properly.
Can't beat beautiful Widgets. Cool stuff.

hi... i just wanna ask if there is an app or widget that can be use to change icon permanently.. not just when you display it on home screen. i tried Better Cut. but it only change icon that displayed on home screen. but when you look at your drawer it is still the same. so it useless because i have ADW Launcher and in it i can do that already... so any suggestion of an app i can use ? =)
there isnt im afraid. you would need to modify the apk file to change the apps icon permanently. this means if you like to keep up to date with the latest app releases you wouldnt be able to as it would need to be registered as a different app if i remember right
Sometimes the clock just doesn't get updated at all. Check out the screen shot.the clock on the notification bar works fine but the one on the home screen stops updating itself. This happens with stock clock and beautiful widgets as well.
I am on stock ROM and non rooted phone

I have a different clock related problem: often, when I set the timer or the stopwatch feature and then let the screen timeout, the clock forgets that its timing something. When I go to check on it, it has reset to zero.
I have the same problem here, the standard Samsung clock and the beweather clock stops working at random.I
have got the problem since the ICS update...
Is either the launcher problem or task killer killing the clock. You can use the clock widget that comes with your launcher. If you are using task killer, make sure your clock is in your ignore list.
