showing sunshine at 11pm and the moon at 9am. and before you go there, yes the clock is set correctly.

Im set on a 3 hour refresh for weather, so i understand a little lag, but i would think this thing would go out to the net and know when sunrise and sunset are?!?!?

anyone else have this issue ?
 
very annoying, so i downloaded fancy widgets. same exact clock, except no weather animations. however, it uses weather.com instead of shitty accuweather. i always had problems where it would show "current location" and diff weather than my actual town, then randomly go back to my town. it was annoying. no such problem with fancy widgets! search for it

Yes. I have that problem too. Arghhh! I'm going to look into fancy widgets.

Uhhh...I think your talking about Beautiful Widgets. And the clock is noticeably different than the HTC clock (well, ever since HTC sent the Dev a cease and desist letter anyway). BW has the option to use either Google or Accuweather. And BW does have weather animations as an option as well.

nope, check out fancy widgets. that's the one where google did the C&D letter for because they copied the sense clock to the T. it uses weather.com over sense's stock accuweather, and for me reports much more accurate weather for my town!

i tried BW, and honestly, couldn't stand it. i refunded for it, as i love the sense clock, and nothing is like it. well, except fancy widgets and now it's only available online if you search lol

Ahh, thanks for the tip. I've searched and found. The Sense flip clock is my favorite as well. And the flip clock designed for BW is no where as nice. I do like BW because I can easily change the clocks that are close to what I want into what I want. I just download the clock onto my PC, open up Photoshop and go to work. I'm too lazy to bother making my own clock so modifying existing ones works for me when putting together something to match a theme.
