Same here, latest version and it lags every minute, doesnt matter which player I use. SGS i9000
(no lagfix, no root, JM2)

Worryingly, the typo clock update service runs even if you don't have the widget running !

Edit: and you can't stop the service! It just runs again. Had to uninstall!

Btw I don't think you should have services for updating widgets since no other updating widgets have a service running, including clocks.

Maybe you need to look into how to develop clock widgets more.

Maybe you need to look into how to check for running services more? At least Tajm and Digital Clock use the same type of service, it's actually pretty common.

0.36 now has a stoppable service, and the stuttering should be gone too.

None of these kind of applications should need an explicit service running that is viewable in "running services" and no widget should be running a service that updates every minute, even if the phone is in sleep mode or if the widget isn't even running!

Very bad programing.

It's a clock...You rather it update every two hours? Lets be honest here..

1) No one forces you to use this widget
2) If you know how to do it in a better way, feel free to get cracking

(And yes, you could do it without a visible service, but there would still be a thread running every few seconds... but it's more efficient to do it through a service)

Read again,

I said it shouldn't run every minute if the screen is off OR the home screen isn't in focus

I'm only trying to offer suggestions, creative criticism, on how to improve your widget.

I love the widget.

And since a widget can't be updated via broadcast more frequently than once every 30 minutes, how would you propose to update it instead?
If using a service, this service is tied to a timer task that runs the service every x seconds, no matter the sleep state or the current home screen.

But, I'm thrilled to hear your proposal!
