Displaying GMT time in clock app

Hi,
In the clock application, how does one show GMT / UTC time? In the World Clock part, there is no city listed as GMT/UTC.
Some people have suggested that Reykjavik be used. That's a workaround. Is there a better answer, or can I submit a feature request? I am running 10.3.1.1767.
RWW

If I am not mistaken the original request intended to ask for a possibility to diplay real UTC/GMT.
In WInter the time in London is the same as GMT, but in the summer the UK is using summer time. The clock for London would show GMT+1 then.
According to this Wikipedia entry Iceland is using GMT+0 all year round.
On a BB10 device this is problably the closest you can get right now.
It would be nice if Blackberry could and an extra UTC entry to the list of cities/time-zones.

Timer on clock app dimmed

On my clock app, the section where I adjust the time I want for the timer is dimmed out. It's only for the timer, world clock/alarm/stopwatch are all working perfectly only the top half of my timer section is dark. Anyone have any ideas? I have already tried soft reset, restarting and resetting settings. The countdown time displays normally once I start the timer but just when I want to set the time, it becomes really dim. The bottom half(area with start/pause) always displays properly.
Thanks!

Have you tried switching between the Timer, Alarm, Stopwatch, etc? Switch to one of these, exit, close the app as I described in my first post, reopen the app and then select Timer.
If still no joy and you've alrady done a reset, your next step is to restore with your backup. After that it's restore as new, i.e. without your backup.
Or download a Timer app from the App Store.

Problem with Timer in Clock app in IOS 8

I've noticed an interesting change, a bug I suspect, in the Timer part of the Clock app in IOS 8. If I set a timer for say, 5 min, and I happen to check the timer before the alarm sounds, so it is showing on the iPhone, the alarm goes off, But I cannot stop it, cancel it, whatever. I have to go back to the home screen to tap done. This wasn't the behavior before. I suspect is shouldn't be now. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have a reproducible bug with the alarm in iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5. If the alarm goes off when the phone is sleeping I normally can silence in 3 ways: 1) use "tap to stop" on lock screen; 2) use power button to return to sleep mode; 3) use vibrate switch to turn ringer off. However, if I inadvertently swipe down to access notifications when the alarm is going off, when I return to lock screen the alarm can no longer be silenced by 1 & 2 listed above (only 3 will work). Powering off will also work, although I have read here that some are having the alarm remain on even after reboot. I can reproduce this problem as often as I attempt.

Need a dual time zone clock app that runs like a screensaver

I have a first generation iPhone and I am wondering if any of the many world time zone clocks available as apps have the ability to run over or replace, until touched, the iPhone screen itself, which contains numerous app logos. Hope that makes sense. Thoughts?

What about adding another to Dashboard?
There are some for $20 but not menu bar:

Doesn't sound like what you were looking for though.

Stock Clock app desk clock function

I've used the stock Clock app on my S4 (and previously on a different phone with an earlier version of Android) for alarms, timers, and a stopwatch. I only just discovered (because it's scrolled off to the right in portrait mode) that it has a desk clock feature as well. Sorry for the length of this, but I want to post on this in case others have not seen it either. (The user manual is hopelessly uninformative.)
When you tap the Desk Clock button in the Clock app (turn it sideways to landscape mode for easiest access), you get a screen with the time and date, a calendar, and a weather widget. (On my S4 it's an AccuWeather widget, which seems not to update unless GPS is on, making it less useful.) In either portrait or landscape mode, it's a handy clock to have on, especially with a kickstand. Press the Menu key to get Settings for options to display or not display the calendar and weather, and to access the system Date and time settings.
It gets handier when you tap the little icon in the upper right corner to make it full screen. Now it displays without the other Clock app buttons across the top. It also has four shortcuts across the bottom of the screen, for Alarm, Music, Gallery, and Internet. The Menu key in this full-screen mode offers more options, including changing or hiding those app shortcuts, and settings to hide the Status bar and to choose a background from your gallery or use the Home screen wallpaper (but a busy background makes the clock hard to read).
In this mode, the desk clock display is not affected by the screen timeout setting. It will display indefinitely. After a brief time, it turns off the background image (I hear two little splash noises when it does this) and just displays the time and date and weather on a black background, I presume to save battery. To prevent the remote possibility of burn-in, it even moves the items displayed around on the screen every so often. This display mode can also bypass the lock screen. With the desk clock in full-screen mode, press the Power/Lock key. (Again I hear not one but two little splashes when the phone turns off.) When I press the Power/Lock key again, instead of my lock screen, I get the full screen desk clock.
You may want to plug the phone in if you keep the clock displayed for a long time; even with the black background it's going to be using some battery. As far as I can tell, using the above procedure will keep the clock displayed as long as you want. Since it bypasses your lock screen, when you press Power/Lock to turn the phone on with the clock displayed, everything is available: you can just touch the screen to restore the background and access the notification bar, or press the Home button, or whatever.
Two last notes: The settings for the Desk Clock function also include settings for Dock, which I don't use and can't report on. Also, I don't have a PIN or pattern set up for my lock screen. I suspect that if you do, this will not bypass the lock screen, on the reasonable assumption that you want some actual security; but I don't know for certain, and hopefully someone with experience on that score can post a reply.

Nice! Thanks for the write-up.

Ios7 clock app I can no longer see the time or cell signal at the top of the screen.

I just updated to ios7 I have the iphone 5.
I can no longer see the cell signal or time at the top of the clock app. I actually have to leave the clock app to see what time it is or try to read the analog clocks in the time zone section. I have a friend with a 4s, and they can still see the stuff at the top of the screen. Help? Is this a bug, or is there a setting I can change?

This is what it loks like...no time or cell signal at the top

Clock app: How can I shorten the time that the alarm goes off?

I use the alarms in the basic clock app. They always work. The problem is when the ipod is not in my immediate possession. I have an alarm set to go off at noon. Today it chimed until I could get to it at 12:11. Isn't there a way to tell it to ring for 15 seconds, 1 minute, etc? It just goes and goes until I get to it.
All other third party apps look like you need to remember to leave their app running. If I would remember that, I probably would not need the alarm, unless I used it exclusively for waking up.

Sorry it is not possible to adjust the alarm ring time.

How to fix the Clock App's timer?

Hey guys,
So I have been having a recurring and permanent problem ever since I moved to iOS 7.
I have an iPhone 5 and with iOS 6 the timer function with-in Clock was working perfectly, up until the release of iOS 7. Then the timer stopped functioning as designed...by which I mean, I could set a time for 20 seconds, 20 minutes or 2 hours. It would make no difference. The timer would start correctly, and count-down correctly, but when it came to ringing off the alarm signalling the timer had finished, that however would not occur. No sound, no nothing. It would not matter if I set the timer with Siri or manually; no difference.
I am only posting this problem (which arose in October of last year) now because I was hoping that subsequent updates to iOS 7 would eventually fix the issue, and of course they have not (at least for me). I have not yet tried wiping and restoring the phone to find out if that helps. It was partly to find out if anyone else has had this issue.
Lib.

No I do not have any issue with the timer. Just tested 2 minutes using Siri and it works.
Do you have "When Timer Ends" > Radar or any other sound you have set?
Is your mute switch at the left side of iPhone ON?
Have you done a reset after deleting the Clock app from multitask-list?
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Clock app adds a minute to the timer all by itself

I would never believe it if I had not seen it. My boss told me that while using the timer on the clock app that it added a minute to the time as it was counting down all by itself. It seems to happen about 1 out of 6 times we tried it. We set the timer to 2 minutes and pressed start. It counted down to 1:53 then showed 2:52 and continued to count down to 0:00.
Then I tried my phone and sure enough after a few tries mine did the same thing. I think mine was at 1:17 when it then jumped to 2:16 and continued to count down.
His iPhone is a 3Gs 16Gb Black and mine is a 3Gs 32Gb Black. Both are running 3.1.
If anyone has seen this before please let me know. Thanks!

Just found this article. Looks like this problem has been around for a while...

Is there any way to sort the alarms differently in the Clock app? I have alarms for multiple days during the week, all of which overlap each other. It makes no sense to me that the alarms sort by time and not day. Thanks!

No, there is no way to change the sort order.

Dashboard clock displays incorrect time for remote cities

Hi all,
Small issue here : I added a new clock in dashboard to display the time in Rabat, Morocco.
Unfortunately the clock is an hour off (shows 10pm when it is actually 11pm there).
I already asked the google friend, always the same answer : check your time zone in preferences, which I did.
> My current location & time zone are correctly set (Brussels, Belgium CEST), time is correctly displayed for this location both on the desktop and in dashboard clock.
> Tried allowing the system to determine my current time zone automatically, no change.
> Date & time is set automatically via apple euro time server.
Does anyone know what's wrong here? Something related to daylight saving time maybe? (seems odd but I ran out of ideas.)
Thanks a bunch,
Nicolas

This same problem stared plaguing me as well yesterday (iPhone 5c), maybe a week after upgrading to iOS 8.3. I've tried everything (which isn't much, right?) to no avail. Among the symptoms were time and date wrong (of course) but also intermittent WiFi misbehavior (e.g., disconnects) and very sluggish response on the set Date & Time page (Settings : General : Date & Time)--when setting the "Set Automatically" slider from off to on or vice-versa it would often take many seconds to respond (and I'd swear the sliding circle looks a tiny bit elongated when stuck).
Anyway, this morning I let the power drain normally and kept it that way for a few hours. I've now plugged it back in to charge and the time has been correct for the past 45 min. and counting, so this may be a remedy. I'll check back in later today with progress.

Clock App timer problem - no noise

Since moving from iOS 7 to iOS 8 the timer on my clock app no longer works properly.
It counts down and you can see the reamaining time on the lock screen but when it gets to the specified count down time, there is no sound.
The lock screen lights up but there is no noise at all.
I have done hard reset, reset settings, upgraded to latest ios, restored as new - nonthing makes any difference.
The only way I can get a sound is if I change the sound each time I set the timer - very tiresome.
The problem happens if I use Siri and also if I use the app manually without changing the sound.
The alarm clock works fine.
Any help gratefully appreciated!

Is there any way to prevent my Calendar from displaying in GMT time?

I just update my iOS to 8.1.2 on my iPhone 6. It appears in my calendar in GMT time despite the fact that I set my time zone to +7
Why Apple support team never solve this problem. So confusing.

Hi chalit2000,
If you are seeing Calendar events listed in a time zone other than the one the iPhone is currently set for, you may want to check to see if Time Zone Support is enabled. You may find the following article helpful:

CP-7942G displaying wrong time, CME 8.1

CME 8.1 - IOS ver 15.1(2)T1 - All IP phones (type 6921, 7962) are showing the correct time (according to the time zone) except the 7942G (it shows the GMT time without the zone from the router or from the telephony service applied).

Hi kholevas,
This is not an uncommon issue that should be quite fixable

After changing the time-zone setting you could follow these steps.
Usage Guidelines
This command works with the vendorConfig section of the Sep*.conf.xml configuration file, which is read by the phone firmware when the Cisco IP Phone is booted up. Certain phones, such as the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906 , 7911, 7931, 7941, 7942, 7945, 7961, 7962, 7965, 7970 , 7971, and 7975, obtain Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) from the clock of the Cisco router. To display the correct local time, the time display on these phones must be offset by using this command.
This command is not required for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7902G, 7905G, 7912G, 7920, 7921, 7935, 7936, 7940, 7960, or 7985G.
For changes to the time-zone settings take effect, the Sep*.conf.xml file must be updated by using the create cnf-files command and the Cisco IP phones must rebooted by using the reset command.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/command/reference/cme_t1ht.html#wp1023398
under the telephony-service -
no create cnf-files
create cnf-files
Then reboot the individual phones

Does a clock/ alarm clock app damage the PB screen?

There are some nice clock apps for the playbook and I'd like to put my PB in a dock for overnight chaging and have the screen display a clock, but I'd rather not do that if it will damage the screen or visuals?
Anyone have any information on this - I cant find an answer online.

We have left our internet access terminal on for past 3 years with a LCD screen. No issue with it cept for the light is a bit yellowed from being on all the time.
I have used my playbook a bit often over the past year and no screen burnin at all on it
