On my old HTC Fuze running Windows 6.5, there was a lockscreen digital clock that showed seconds eg. 5:00:48 PM. There simply has to be an Android *DIGITAL* clock that displays seconds. I just can't find it!
Ideally, I'd like it to be on the lockscreen - but anywhere would be great. (I'm a last minute person when it comes to my commuter train - and need to mind my seconds.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I've thought of adding this to Chronotopia but it eats battery life big time. Maybe I'll add it at some point.
If you make a search in the market there are some
Alarm Clock Free
Clock Widget digital
Num clock lite
etc etc
Not really for lock screen but there are lock screen replacements where you can add widgets
Thanks for the responses. Because of battery life issues, I think that Alarm Clock Free works the best for me - although I may attempt to configure Clock Widget Digital on my lock screen.
Battery life is already a big concern of mine as I get terrible battery life already...
Quick question. I presume that if something like Alarm Clock Free is not being displayed on the screen that it is not impacting my battery life? Same with Clock Widget Digital if my screen is turned off? Or, do they chew up battery life even if they are simply running in the background?
If they use battery life even when the screen is off, I think I will go with Alarm Clock Free and kill the application after I've used it. (I think there might be some fairly automated ways to do so - and would be open to hearing about the same.)
Thanks again.

If it's an AppWidget (on your home screen or a widget in a custom lock screen) then it really depends on the implementation. Because of the nature of Android it is most likely that those clocks will update the widget every second, which eats battery. It might be that they have a check implemented to not update the widget in certain circumstances, like when the screen is off. But as far as I know (I haven't come across it yet) there is no (easy) way to detect if the clock is displaying or not. So I always assume that these clocks are updated all the time.
I was thinking of implementing a change on a widget every 15 seconds. So you would see: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & 0
I still might do that at some point, but it should always be optional.

Took me a while to work that out.
When you are in the live wallpaper selection screen, scroll to the weather wallpaper, hit "preview" and then you will find a "settings" button. Low and behold there is a tickbox to turn the sound off.
Out of interest, do you find that the weather live wallpaper (and in fact all live wallpapers) reduce the framerate of the carousel after a while. It seems fine to start with but then slows things down. I would really like to use the weather wallpaper but low frame rates annoy me - as it makes the phone look slow when I am showing it off.
Thanks for the solution, been annoying me since I got the thing. Now just need to solve the car dock issues
You cold just open weather app, go to settings, untick last option .
Thanks freco, but that does not work. If you have weather background set the only way to get rid of the sound effectst is via the background/preview/ settings.
The easiest way to do it is to remove the clock widget from the homescreen and then add it back. When you add the clock widget back to the homescreen it will give you the option for the weather animation and sound. I would just remove the animation all together. There really is no point to it and its using precious resources.

Has anyone run across an alternative weather sound set for the Sensation?
The "Sunny Day" sound effect is almost as annoying as fingernails on a
chalkboard to me. The rest are ok.
Even if you happen to know the name of the file and it's location would be
helpful (I could try deleting that sound alone and cross fingers that it doesn't
eff up forcing me to reflash).
Thanks.
is it me or has the deskclock option been removed? On my previous devices i have had the option to select this so that when it is on charge at night it also acts as as a bedside clock.
On the One s the only think i can see is under 'clock' it says world clock and there is a picture of a planet with different time zones but not actually a digital clock showing the time.
Am i missing something somewhere?
Basically i want a digital clock that can double as an alarm clock to have when the phone is on charge at night....would be great if it could also turn off the home and back button also as these seem to stay on at night when charging with the ones i have tried from the market.
thanks
According to my knowledge they HTC has removed the Desktop clock feature.
Very annoying, why can't they give you an option to switch from 'world clock' ( the planet showing) to a clock like on the older version, at least it would have a real use.

The lack of alarm clock is annoying. I've tried out some clock apps, and those work well enough except the bottom buttons stay lit. Haven't found a good solution yet.

Alarm Clock Plus works best for me. It should not be moved to sdcard, as it breaks like any other app using alarms and/or widgets.
Customizing it the first time may take some time but it can do almost everything so.

There is an alarms section in the Clock app. Nothing special but it works fine.

I know, what I meant was what the OP stated, the desktop clock was missing. I did try Alarm Clock Plus, it worked great except that the bottom buttons remain lit which was distracting.
Interestingly, having now gone a few nights without a bedside clock, I find I'm sleeping a bit better without knowing what time it is.
im using night clock donate at the moment and its a very clean and simple clock which i want however i too have the problem with the three buttons staying lit when its on
If anyone knows of one i want a simple digital clock with the ability to turn off the button lights and also if possible mute notifications when its activated (like email and twitter etc)
Lightning Bug is an app that I use for white noise that also has a fairly customizable clock that goes with it. It has an option to turn off device lights, although that does not seem to be working correctly on the One S (could be something the devs need to fix for Ice Cream Sandwich).
I have had a search can't locate anything, in short I like the clock app which then makes the screen stay on in standby with the clock. However, this only works if you run it and I would like this to be the default behaviour. Is there a way to do this?
I didn't really know what to search to find an answer to this question, so I'm sorry if it has already been posted. I have a full stock nexus and the default launcher, sometimes I notice a little + sign where the home screen indicators are. I know it's used to add a new home screen, but I don't want it there. And when I scroll all the way to the right there's an extra blank home screen. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of this?
Question 2: I have a repeating alarm set every morning with the stock alarm app. I've noticed that sometimes the alarm icon in the notification bar will disappear, and only come back up if I tap on the alarm in quick settings. The alarm is still set and still goes off.
Neither of these are really issues, just nuisances, and for all I know they could be "features". But any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
for #1, just place something on the homescreen then remove the item.

Thanks! Will it still pop up anymore or do I have to do that every time?

I just noticed #2 happening on my N5 as well. I figured maybe it was because I have made some status bar changes with Xposed Framework + Gravity Box, but I guess not. Probably a bug of some sort. What's weird is I've seen it come and go randomly too when just looking at my screen. Oh well. Kind of bugs me, but not a huge deal since my alarm still goes off every morning.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I guess it's more of an annoyance than a problem.
I have had this problem for a while now, usually goes away if I bring an icon over to a new page then back, or if I restart my phone.
I have since switched back to Nova as they have implemented many kit kat GEL like additions, and I used this on my nexus 4, missed a lot of the swipe features and icon packs
home screen
You restore you N5 in the company setting....
Many be Issue is the some missing file....
I've had the problem with the blank home page several times on my N5 and adding/removing an item to the page removes it. It's always a extra page to the right of the last active page.
I have a daily recurring alarm and I only see the alarm icon two hours before the set time. In the notifications I have the option to dismiss the alarm early.
I do have an issue with HD Widgets which lives on the home (first) screen. Sometimes the widget becomes embedded on the page -- I will see what appears to be overlaid images. I first noticed what appeared to be two sets of temperatures (I use the weather widget with three or five day forecast). The easiest way to correct the problem is to drag the widget to a new page at the end, delete the home page which now displays the widget as a background image, then re-order the pages. This has never occurred on my N4 or N7 which are set up similarly except that the home page is the middle page.
Hi there, fearless Huawei rebels!
You know the problem: No notification LED - and NO really working and/or reliable solution; I tried quite some.
But there's that built-in Alway On Display feature showing time, battery level - and notifications in standby in a real reliable way!
And there's MASSES of different additional AOD choices to download, some for free, some for a fistful of cents.
But NOTHING just showing the notifications, ALWAYS accompanied with some time display.
I would be quite happy if I had an AOD showing the notifications only, I don't wish to see the time of day or date, I don't wish to see my battery level, I don't need music control (that's the job of the player app), I don't need weather forecasts - just the tiny symbols notifying me of new messages, just like the traditional LED. And if there's no notifications, just a plain black screen with no power drain and distraction at all. Life could be that easy.
Thus my quite obvious questions:
1) Is there any AOD contents to download showing just the notifications and nothing else?
2) Does anyone know how to create your own AOD contents? - As there are masses of downloadable styles, there obviously must be a way.
I would like the AOD to:
a) continue to display notifications after unlocking then relocking back to the AOD (like every other non-Huawei android phone)
b) add weather (as per Pixel)
c) add music control (as per Samsung)
d) remove battery %
