I recently experienced the same issue. Although your issue may have had a different cause, I thought I would share my solution in case it my be useful for future readers.

In my case, I had the following setting in my custom agenda commands:

(org-agenda-prefix-format "○ ")

This gave me a minimalistic agenda where tasks were prefixed by ○, and nothing else. However, this overrides the default format which includes a number of formatting characters that allow the prefix to display, among other things, the time, specified by the %t format character which displays "the HH:MM time-of-day specification if one applies to the entry".

I have since changed org-agenda-prefix-format as follows:

(org-agenda-prefix-format "○  %t")

which still gives me a minimalistic agenda view, but additionally displays time information if necessary. Here is a full list of formatting characters that work with org-agenda-prefix-format:

  %c   the category of the item, "Diary" for entries from the diary,
       or as given by the CATEGORY keyword or derived from the file name
  %e   the effort required by the item
  %l   the level of the item (insert X space(s) if item is of level X)
  %i   the icon category of the item, see `org-agenda-category-icon-alist'
  %T   the last tag of the item (ignore inherited tags, which come first)
  %t   the HH:MM time-of-day specification if one applies to the entry
  %s   Scheduling/Deadline information, a short string
  %b   show breadcrumbs, i.e., the names of the higher levels
  %(expression) Eval EXPRESSION and replace the control string
                by the result

For more details, see the documentation for org-agenda-prefix-format: M-x describe-variable RET org-agenda-prefix-format RET.
