Help Clock and Home screen problem

[michaelanthony]

Posted this on droidforums.net and got no help in 175 views so I thought I would come here and try...

My clocks local time setting randomly changes. Has done it twice. Once to a city in Africa and once to China. The first time it happened I just reset it and it was fine. The second time I reset and it didnt fix it so I manually set the local time. had it on automatic the first time. Anyone else have this problem?

Also when ever i close out of a text message it always goes to the second to the left home screen. It only does it when closing out of a new text. I am using SMS Popup.

My phone is rooted. Used unrevoked and root explorer if that matters.

The clock location thing has been reported by a few users, no common fix has been found that I know of...

your text messaging problem sounds weird, does it still happen without sms popup installed?

(edit: I just saw you meant your actual system time not the clock widget, the issue might be related)

For reference about the location bug:

And you expect help from us when we are your sloppy seconds? Anyway, I have heard that you could:

Remove any clock widgets from home screen then tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All (along the top), scroll to Clock by HTC (--NOT Clock Widget--) and tap on it. From there clear data and ensure it reads as 0KB. If not then power cycle phone and repeat until it does then return to home screen.

Also, another suggestion or possibility, how is your GPS fix? Can you get a location in Maps? Because a poor satellite fix would do the same thing.

The second time it did it I set the clock manually and it hasnt done it since. Hopefully that will fix/help.

I did try it with SMS uninstalled but didnt restart the phone after the uninstall so that might be why its still did it?

I never thought about checking Maps when it happened. If it does it again I will. I've never had a problem with Maps. I did use Maps today and it was a couple miles off but I was going thru a canyon at the time so thats probably why that happened.
