Clock stopped working / crashes instantly

buscopina

Hi folks,

new to GOS, transissioned from iOS, but with Android experience and most of it is working flawlessly for me.

Yesterday the clock app stopped working. I tap the app icon it opens for a sec and quits. The popup show that it tried too many times. In the log there are multiple entries that the Java engined struggles to find things... Firstly not retrieving what day it is...

I am a bit dependent to a working clock and timer... Anyone knows a solution here? Or shall I post the detailed logs for better debugging?

buscopina I suggest resetting the app. From the launcher, press and hold the clock icon, pick App info, then Storage & cache. First try just "Clear cache", but if that doesn't fix it then "Clear storage".

de0u thats what I already did. But doesn't change a thing unfortunately. Clock app still won't open

buscopina That is quite odd.

Is "Automatic date and time" turned on in Settings, System, Date & time?

buscopina

Yep, that's what it was from the very beginning and I did not touch anything... Kind of puzzled to be honest.

That's the log by the way:

buscopina What do you get if you go into Settings, System, Languages, Regional preferences, First day of week? What is your preferred language in Settings, System, Languages?

buscopina

de0u mate, you made my day. Indeed the first day setting was strangely set to Tuesday. Now the app starts again... What a ride...

Thank you for the hints

I'm relieved, because honestly I didn't have a lot more ideas in the queue!
