• protection of the device from overheating (energy saving mode);
• appearance of the dial;
• rules for operating the device (rules for shutting down, options for using the battery, etc.);

Always On turns on when the device is locked.

How to change the date on Samsung

In addition to the time parameter, an important setting for any Samsung smartphone is the date. After all, only with its help can a person find out what day it is today. And incorrect display of this indicator leads to the owner of the device missing an important meeting or forgetting to congratulate a loved one on his birthday.

To prevent such a situation from happening, it is necessary to clarify the exact date in advance. Knowing the day of the week, day, month and year, you can start changing the parameter:

1. Open settings.
2. Go to the "General" section.

3. Select "Date and Time".
4. Click on the “Set Date” heading.

5. Enter the desired day of the week, month and year, and confirm your changes.

As soon as all the actions from the specified algorithm are completed, not only the exact time, but also the current date will be displayed on the main screen.

To display date and time parameters as correctly as possible, it is recommended to activate the “Auto-detection” option in the settings. With its help, you will not have to constantly change the time zone, as well as correct faulty settings, which is extremely important for travelers.

Changing the clock size

How to connect a smart watch to an Android phone - establishing a connection

Sometimes, when a user installs a new clock on the screen of an Android device, it turns out that it covers the wallpaper or, conversely, is too small. On smartphones with Android 0.7 and higher, you can change their size. This function is also available in some shells that work with earlier versions of the OS.

To increase or decrease the clock, you need to hold down this widget. It will turn into a limited field with markers around the edges. By moving them, you can stretch and compress the field, thereby changing the size of the numbers.

How to move or delete a clock

There are several ways to do this. They depend on the phone model and operating system version.

How to put wallpaper on your Android lock screen

The standard technique is to hold the clock on the screen for 1-2 seconds, wait for a slight vibration and drag it down, to the side or to the middle of the monitor.

Important! The option is simple, but it will not work on every smartphone.

The widget can simply be dragged from one place to another

Honor and Huawei devices do not have this feature by default. Installed widgets cannot be moved, but you can change the lock screen style. This is done through the “Security and Privacy” item in the settings. Different styles display the time at the top or bottom.

In Android 9.0 Pie, the clock has moved to the left. On Galaxy phones with OneUI shell, you can solve the problem by installing Good Lock from Samsung. After launching the application, you need to click on “QuickStar”, then tap “Install”. Returning to “Good Lock”, you should launch “QuickStar” again from the application menu, select the “Clock position” item and the “Right” option.

Removing unnecessary hours

You can long-press the widget on the screen and drag the watch to the trash can, or select the “Delete” option in the menu that appears (not on all smartphones). This will remove the time from the screen, but will not remove the application itself. You can add it back to your desktop at any time.

Widgets installed on the lock screen are disabled in the settings in the “Security and locking” section (in other versions “Lock screen”). You need to uncheck the corresponding box.

To completely get rid of widgets or applications, go to settings, then to “Application Manager” and select those that are no longer needed.

Important! If the application is associated with the operating system, it cannot be removed without Root rights.

Applications for setting the time on your phone

Unfortunately, the built-in functionality of Samsung does not always satisfy user requests. Many people cannot change the simple clock display style due to the fact that there is no beautiful option in the proposed list. And sometimes the built-in date and time settings fail.

In such a situation, the only way out is to use software from third-party developers. Software specialists have achieved great success in this direction, thanks to which there are many similar programs on Google Play. Our specialist will tell you how they work.

Which app should you download to replace your standard clock?

• Google Clock

• "Energy-saving clock" from MaxLab

• "Digital Clock Widget" by Maize

How to restore the clock on the screen if it has disappeared

If the time suddenly stops being displayed on your phone's desktop, the easiest way to put them back is through settings or standard widgets. How to do this is described in the first section of the article.

If the widget is completely deleted (that is, it was removed from the system), figuring out how to return the clock to the main screen of your Android device is also not difficult. Any of the applications for installing a clock widget will do.

If all else fails, you may need to activate the screensaver. To do this, go to the settings in the “Device” section, “Screen” item. When you click on “Screen,” select “Screen Saver” and move the slider to the word “On.” You can also turn off the time display at any time.

If the screen saver is not activated, the watch face will not appear on the monitor

Important! To display the time on the screen, you need to select this option (or application) in the screensaver settings.

Setting and removing the clock from your smartphone screen is a simple procedure. An abundance of applications and Internet access allow you to solve any problem. The main thing is to follow the instructions.

How to set up a watch on Samsung

Let us immediately note that the settings for third-party applications are individual, and we have already discussed some points above. As for the built-in program, the principle is identical for all Samsung phones and other Android smartphones.

Let's look at how to configure basic functions before or after installing the widget on the home screen.

• Change of size. To set a different scale, click on the clock application (location is the main screen) and hold your finger on it for a few seconds. Wait for the markers to appear and move them to increase or decrease the size of the widget.
• Time change. To change the time in Samsung Galaxy, launch the Clock program, click on More (three dots) and go into settings. In the clock section, select your time zone, date and time. Alternatively, you can hide the time if you are in another country. To do this, install the Show time at home function.

• Changing the alarm clock. To change the alarm clock, launch the Clock application, click on the three vertical dots, and then go to Settings. Next, go to the Alarm Clock section. There you can set the on time, volume, automatic shutdown function and other parameters. The interface is clear enough that even a novice Samsung user can easily understand it.
• Changing the timer. To set a timer, click on the clock application, click on the three dots, and then Settings. There you can change the melody, change the volume, turn on vibration and set the countdown time.
• Adding hours for other cities. To set the time of other localities under the main time on the Samsung display, enter the application, click on Clock, and then click on the World Clock icon. Next, enter the city in the search bar, and then click the locality that you want to install. In the future, you can change the order of the town by pressing a certain line, holding and moving to the desired point. To delete a settlement, you need to click on the line, hold it, and then move it down the display.
• Setting up the view. If desired, you can set a different format or change the type. To do this, enter the application, press the three vertical dots, and then enter Settings and Style. The next step is to select arrows or numbers. As a result, you can customize the main Samsung display as you wish.

After going to the watch application, you can also set other settings for the watch on Samsung:

• show or hide seconds;
• activate the 24-hour format (section Change date and time);
• change the appearance of the image on the screensaver (section Screensaver).

In the future, you can operate the settings as you wish. If you installed a built-in application, it is easy to remove it, and later return the clock and weather to the main screen of your Samsung phone using one of the installed programs. All manipulations take a minimum of time, which creates additional convenience for the user.
