1480977 2021-09-30 03:58:00 I'm still getting to know my new Samsung Flip3 5g phone. One issue I have is getting the clock to display exactly how I want it. What I would like is for the clock to display seconds in digital format, e.g.16:47:36.
The normal clock display only does hours and minutes. I can specify an analog clock widget that goes on the cover display that displays a second hand. When the lock screen activates (I have it set to blank), if I double click it I get a hh:mm clock display for about 5 secs. If I tap that clock while it is displaying I do get a hh:mm:ss display, but only for about 10 secs, then it all reverts. I have not found any way to modify any of that.
Google support says


Open your phone's Clock app .
Tap More. Settings.
Tap Display time with seconds.

My phone doesn't have "more" settings there, and I can't find "Display time with seconds" anywhere. It maybe that Samsung have disabled that for some reason.

Any suggestions?

It wont be a bog standard Android .

"Google support says" will be for stock Android .
So , you'll need to search for instructions for your exact phone .

That link doesn't cover what I am after, which is to able to display seconds. However I have found a clock app that does, which will do for those occasions when I need it.
In general I am pleased with the phone. MY gripes have come from getting to grips with Android 11 after Android 8 on my older phone, and the fact that it does chew through the battery a bit.

Yes, I'd come to that conclusion . However see my response to Piroska .
