Excellent, yea I noticed this myself too... so when spring rolls around and everyone starts complaining again, it's DST's fault not mine! ;-)

the crashes I experience seem to result
from not giving flipclock time to settle down
(so to speak). If I am slow and deliberate
and wait a while after it starts to try setting
alarms I don't seem to get the crashes.
This seems to be more of a general platform thing than anything else. Flip needs to load stuff into memory, and by the time the main display shows up everything SHOULD be loaded, but on the tablets loading can take a bit of time so that might be the issue. In any event I'll keep an eye out and make sure I don't have any runaway code issues, but I think this really just is a limit of the hardware we're using VS the loading requirements of the app. I've also noticed that sometimes Flip is a little bit slow to react when you first wake up the tablet (i.e. it was inactive), but then things pick up again and run fine; I assume this is something to do with the tablet "getting the CPU and memory back up to speed" after low power mode...


1) I set the clock into 24-hour mode; the time was displayed OK in 24-hour mode (it was around 22:40). I then set an alarm for 07:45 the next morning. When I went to the clock screen, the alarm was set for 19:45.
Thanks for reporting that, I haven;t played with 24 hour mode too much but I think I know what's causing that one, just a little goof up on my part. I'll try to take care of it ASAP for you. (If you went back to the alarm screen did it also say the alarm was now set for 1945?

I happened to wake up at around 3:30 am (due to dogs, not the alarm going off at the wrong time ), and noticed that the clock was showing 23:30. The first digit hadn't changed from 2 at midnight.
For anyone who's seen this (not the dogs of course but the digit missing thing), is it only on the night theme, or does it happen on the regular flip too? I'm pretty sure I fixed it for regular flip, but can anyone confirm that?


sampieter - That deserves another posting to answer
