How do i get the stock clock/weather back on my Galaxy S3?

**kaa26** · 12-09-2012, 06:48 AM

I'm aware this is probably a dumb question but I need some help. I've had that stock clock/weather reporter on my S3 home screen since I bought the phone. I'm not sure if I did something or if it did it on its own but that clock is gone. I've tried turning my phone off and restarting it but it won't reappear. I don't want to to a factory reset and lose all my info in the phone & I don't want another clock, I'd like to stick with the stock one. Can someone give me a very simple step by step to get it back?

I really don't know much about how to work the settings on this phone. What is that app called that widget called that I'm supposed to find. I see the "Clock" widget that I use to set my alarm but I'm not sure if that's the right one. When I drag it to where the other one used to be it just stays as a small picture of a clock instead of expanding like the other one to show the time & weather.

Long press on the screen, you will see a menu pop up select apps and widgets, then select widgets, stock clock is in the last widgets panel, long press it to put it on your home screen.
