Which picker/app is that? Here's the time picker in the Clock app (for setting alarms) on 4.3 (CM 10.2):

It's the time picker in the Calendar app. It was introduced in May: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/29/google-calendar-for-andro...

Personally, I rather like the new time picker and have never experienced any usability problems. Also, the appearance depends on your time settings; the inner circle the parent poster mentions only appears if you use 24-hour time.

Which is only the vast majority of the world (about half a dozen countries use 12h clocks as a standard in written form).

(as it turns out, that means the vast majority of the world won't give a fig about the AM/PM selector being broken, the touch targets are a much bigger issue)


You know, it's the only time picker I see in Android. Such is my heavy use of Google Calendar.


I think Android's (4.2 and up I think) date and time pickers set the bar personally. I love how you can tap or tap and drag around the circle.


Yeah, that time picker is awesome. All the other apps need to use this one, especially Calendar.


Exactly. Stop being fancy with silly analog clock metaphors - time is numbers, just give me a numerical keypad.


I disagree. The measurement of time is based on our planet's rotation and its revolution around the Sun. Which are both ideally represented as circles that wrap around. I absolutely think that the Android Calendar app does a great job of making event entry quick and precise.


Yup. That's all I want.
