Always On Display - Does Roaming Clock or FaceWidgets work for anyone? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

On my Verizon S9+, in Settings/Clock and FaceWidgets I set Roaming Clock to on, and enabled all three FaceWidget options (Today's Schedule, Next Alarm, Music Controller).
My home time zone is ET (which is set correctly) and I am currently in CT so a second digital clock should appear on the AOD. It does not. This working for anybody?
As for Facewidgets, nothing shows on the AOD other than the clock and notification icons. Swiping does nothing. So do FaceWidgets work? And what does Face have to do with it?

The roaming clock only shows up when roaming on another network. Here in South Africa my service provider doesn't have coverage everywhere, so in the rural areas they have an agreement with another provider to roam on their network for coverage. The aod roaming clock shows up when I roam, then I sit with two clocks on the screen

I've been using the music facewidget. When music is playing it will show the song on AOD and I have to double tap it to bring up the facewidget. I kind of wish this extra step wasn't neccessary.
And I don't know why they called them facewidgets.

Thanks. Your post helped me determine that it takes a double tap on the AOD clock to display the FaceWidgets. Does not require music to be playing to activate. I enabled all three options and double tap will show me next alarm, upcoming appointments, and whatever media was last playing (music, YouTube, etc.).

Thanks. So "While Roaming" is literal (roaming on different network) as opposed to what would be way more useful - in a time zone different than home time zone. Fortunately, Chronus has a feature that will show local and home time zones on their clock widgets though does not work on AOD.

Isn't Connecticut (CT) in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)? Why would you expect a roaming clock when you're in the same timezone?
I haven't had my S9+ outside of my home timezone yet, but I'm pretty sure my S7 Edge displayed it based on timezone, not roaming carrier. I'd be real surprised if the S9 is different.

CT as in Central Time zone. I was in Texas at the time. So yes I was expecting a roaming clock.

Ah, sorry. Misunderstood.

Has anyone found a solution to this. I am also having the same issues. From PST to CST. Not giving me roaming clocks just one clock.

Sadly, I think it is working as designed. It does show another clock when you are ROAMing on a different network. I was just in Europe and dual clocks presented themselves in the countries I visited. In the States however, it's the same network despite being in different time zones, so only my local clock is displayed. Samsung should change this so that the time zone change is the trigger, not the network.
My workaround is to use Chronus clock widget on home screen which support local time and home time, based on time zones.

Thanks OP for the info. What a bummer.

Always on Display- Roaming Clock
I have been using Roaming clock- AOD mode almost from two years now and I was not travelling during this period but I had two different timezones on my screen. What I have discovered from using this is that, when the phone is on power mode, the AOD automatically gets disabled. So, if anyone wants AOD mode to be on, you have to disable the power mode.

Question on flip clock and weather app

I have noticed that the weather location changes as you move with the phone. Is there a setting in the weather app to stop changing location once I have my home city weather?? It seems that if I turn off gps it won't switch location but once I turn on wifi, it switches. My home is near two cities Leander/cedar park tx and I want it to stay in cedar park but changes to Leander.
Thanks,
Ian B

I would try looking in the weather app. Make sure auto locations are off and you have a permanent location set for your city

[Q] Dual Clock When Roaming?

Hi guys, I've got a questions for Galaxy S3 owners.
I've noticed in the lock screen options there's a toggle for "Dual Clock - Show dual clock on lock screen when roaming." Has anyone tried this and know what it does? Does it literally show a second clock (seems redundant) on the screen when your not on your home network?

I presume it is so you can display different time zones

That would be interesting and useful!
I can confirm that it shows 2 clocks one fot your settings in your phone and one for the network you are on.
It shows the roaming time and the home time. However, the home time is set to GMT, which isn't my home. I thought this was for the time zone I'm traveling in and the time for my home.

I'm roaming right now.
Roaming and home time are both correct on the lock screen
Check your settings > date & time > check both "automatic date & time" and "automatic time zone"

Simple
Just go on lock screen settings. Disable dual clock when roaming. Try to enable it again , it will then ask what is your city. You chose now your home town
If not listed just pick one within same time change. Good luck.

I got my phone into roaming mode by putting a SIM card from another country and... bam! I was able to disable it.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks for that it has been driving me mad!
Luckily I am travelling to France tomorrow from the UK so great opportunity to switch it off!
Now If only I could get rid of the Korean language on the dialler! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/simple-help-questions-korean-import-t3239629)
and also find a way to resize the widgets!! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/lg-v10-resize-widgets-t3239607)

just curious if is possible to force go in Roaming not having a sim from another country....
I couldn't get this to work.
The phone went into Roaming mode as indicated by the little R on the signal bars.
However for some reason the clock screen did not give me roaming options .
I fact the phone would not let me switch on the data networks!
Very frustrating

How to Disable Roaming Dual clock on LG G5 LG-F700S Android 5.1/6.0/7.0
(by lancejen on reddit)
There are tutorials on the web to teach people how to disable the roaming dual clock on G2/G3 by using the QuickShortcutMaker app or Dual Clock Remover app to uncheck the Use roaming dual-clock setting, however this particular method doesn't work on the LG-F500S model.
To remove the lockscreen roaming dual-clock on the LG-F700S, follow the following steps:
Download QuickShortcutMaker
Search under ACTIVITIES the keyword "KT"
Click open 'Roaming' and then click on 'Roaming KT Roaming Test'
Create shortcut and open the shortcut
Check 'RAD TEST'
Turn off WiFi while keeping Data on, check the mobile signal strength icon now appears with a letter 'R'
Go Settings - Date & Time
The originally grey-out 'Roaming dual clock' item now becomes black and clickable.
Click to Disable the roaming dual clock.
Uncheck 'RAD TEST'
Turn on the Airplane mode, then off again to remove the 'R' status.
Now the phone works like before with the lockscreen showing only one clock.

Double clock in lockscreen

I have the Korean g6, and couldn't get rid of the dual clock so I installed an app "dual clock remover".

Nothing to worry about, double clock is only at Korean models, namely V300S, V300K, and V300L
Your device won't have double clock
I can also confirm that wolfgart's solution worked perfectly. Thanks!

Isn't this just a roaming clock? I.e. you'll get it whenever you're using the phone outside of the home country? I always thought the home country was based on your settings or sim card though, rather than hardware/rom/etc. Not sure if I'm mistaken or something is different with this phone/clock.
I used app dual clock remove in appstore and turn off left clock, you should trail

Thank you so much, the method worked. Tried Dual clock remover before this but it said my model was not supported.
Dual clock remover app also works. Just hit the 2nd step and it will take you to the hidden menu to disable Dual clock

Confirm ! Just tab on the second button "UNCHECK BOTH" :good:
hi. can anyone made it on stock pie?
after updating to pie, it needs additional permission.
On the same boat as dchinacay, have a stock V300L updated to Pie. Dual clock remover says device is unsupported and quickshortcutmaker needs additional permission.
Hello
I can't find any "roaming" on Android 9 lg300k check image attached

Weather Widget question

Hi all,
Probably a daft question, but before I updated to EMUI 8, I had the home city set in the weather widget to be my home town - set using the GPS "current location" setting. Since the update and a factory reset, I can't work out how to set my current location, when at home, as my home city. And as the text based city search entry is slightly different to the GPS current location, it means I end up with the dual time/weather display when I'm at home.
Seems silly, but it's upsetting my OCD.
I had the same issue drove me mad, so i resolved it with the following click on the clock, click settings, world clock > Date and time, at the bottom is home city, in that setting exit the add city setting and select none, it then uses the weather location which should be your location and gets rid of the dual clocks ( well it worked for me)

Under date and time I only get the option to either use the same home city as the weather app, or add a city. There is the option in the weather app to set the home city as none, but I want the dual time/weather thing, but not when I'm at home. The app allows me to add the town, Forfar, but GPS shows up as Forfar & District.
So, no further forward at the moment.
