Time on wm5 - 12 hour format changes to 24 format - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

the time on my today screen (8125) changes to 24 hour format even when the 12 hour format is chosen. did a soft/hard reset yet still the same. Running a qtek rom on mine so not sure if it's rom related. any help? :?:

I've got the fix
Go to your regional setting and go to the time field where it shows the time formatting yours wil be
HH:mm:ss
HH = Military time
change it to
hh:mm:ss
hh(lowercase)=12 hour format
This was bothering my 6 wizard users for 2 weeks and this fixed the problem

What have to do is go to your Regional Settings and under the time tab select h:mm:ss tt in the time style field. It is hidden when you have another time style selected. Just scroll down with the mini scroll arrows on the right side of the field when you select it.
I struggled with this for a while before figuring it out. I hope it helps. 8)

Thanks for this tip.
Suddenly today my 8125 started displaying military time. This fixed it.
What I'm curious about now, though, is why did military time suddenly show up? I didn't set it to that intentionally. I have installed a few new programs recently - I'm just speculating that Chronos might be the culprit since it is a time program.

Clock on 8125 in military time?

OK i have my 8125 bout a week now and so far ive updated the rom to summiter's custom cingular rom, and all is well with that. Last nite i installed resco file explorer and memmaid. i also did the omapclock tweak and all is well there too, but i noticed that now my clock on the today screen is in military time. (24hrs instead of 12hrs) Can someone tell me how to fix this so it tells regular time again...

One of the customization cab files should have set it to display 12 hour time, but something must have changed it.
You can set it to your desired format in the "Regional Settings" section of the system settings.
Thanks
Thanks Summiter,
Damn is there anything you dont know? Also thanks for the quick response. Ive been looking all day to try to fix the damn clock. Regional settings didnt even come to mind

I know just enough to be dangerous at times. ;-)
I know this post is 6 months behind the reply from summiter, but I've just encountered the same change to my clock on my 8125 to military time. Over this past couple of weeks (10/16/06), I upgraded to ROM version 2.26.10.2 WWE. Everything was fine for a while, then all of a sudden this afternoon, 12-hour time changed over to 24-hour (military) time. My clock and calendar are now in military time and I just don't think that way and need it back.
I haven't added any software recently, so I have no earthly idea what caused this to change. I went to Regional Settings and have the settings on "H:mm:ss", which I assumed was the 12-hour setting. But te sample shows military time for both "H:mm:ss" and "HH.mm.ss".
Please help as I liked this ROM version until this occurred. I'd rather not have to go to another ROM just yet.
Thanks,
Keith

You're close. Scroll up and make it h.mm.ss (or hh.mm.ss if you like 2 digit time, for instance 09:21)

The difference here is the H:
H is military time 24 Hours, H = 1 digit, HH = 2 digits
h is normal time, , h = 1 digit, hh = 2 digits

In case you are still on Military time, I believe the answer is that you want the formats with "tt" on the end. That should add "AM" & "PM".

But when I change the Regional Setting to Hong Kong (my home region), the tt format doesn't show up any more! It shows up if Regional is USA. Is there a brute force approach to add it back in?
Thanks.

Any ideas how to fix the problems?

Hi, not sure if anyone having similar problems or not.
Problem 1: I live in Sydney, I've set the time to GMT+10 Sydney, after a while, the phone automatically change the time setting to GMT+10 Vladivostok. Any idea how to fix this minor problem?
Problem 2: When I put my phone to stand-by mode (eg. after a while the phone's screen is off or phone automatically lock up), when some one send the sms to my phone, the phone does not play the warning sound for incoming message, until I turn on screen than the phone play the incoming sms sound.
Problem 3: Weather--- I've download the update for weather for the whole week. For example, on Monday night I've downloaded the weather, the screen showing the weather at night (for Monday), than On tuesday morning, the weather screen does not update to Tuesday's weather, it just stay for monday night's weather screen. Does Dimond automatic update the weather for each day base from the data which already downlaoded?
Thanks for you help!
ohh guys... how come no one can answer my problems??
1. happened to me also. i don't care if it is jerusalem+ or beirut+2. do you really care? for a possible solution see also post # 11.
2. somewhere in the forum there is a tweak (or a registry edit?) for this. i think there are ROMs with this bug solved.
3. you can choose to have the weather update manually or automatically.
weather/menu/settings/download weather automatically (thick for auto).
there not such thing like downloading the weather Monday for the whole week...the weather is changing (like when they said tomorrow-rain and you walk all next day feeling ridiculous with yr umbrella and the sun is shining ).
if it is important for you live it on manual and each time you sync with yr pc download the weather. is cheap and fast and daily.

is a registry key. use a register editor. do a search.
I'm using Swifts 5.5 ROM and I have had mine change from Hobart to Vladivostok as well.

If you ask me, it's a bit stupid that it changes the time zone constantly when you select to sync the time. By the looks of it, it always changes the time zone to the last item in that zone (Ulaanbaatar is the last item in +8).

Only way I have found to fix this is to go the Phone Settings area, Then Time Zones and turn off "Automatic change time zone and clock" . I had this same issue with my TyTnII and now my Diamond. My guess is the Telco Networks transmit the time as raw UTC along with an offset, but without a location stamp. Something like "it is currently 0230UTC and this location is GMT+10". It is then up to the WM6.x to go into its list of timezomes and I bet it just grabs the first in its list that is +10, so Vladivostok. Buggers up summertime offsets too.
Good news is if you leave this turned off the time will still get updated when you activsync by way of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync.
Just that it wont automtically change when you move time zones for example.
I've set mine to off, I'll report back in a few days, sounds like it will be fine looking at previous post by Logger.

what I mean was you know when you hook up to the net and downloaded the update for the weather, the phone will update for the whole week's data. As soon as the update is done, the phone will show you the weather of the same day (the date you updated e.g. Monday), but the following day (Tuesday), the weather still showing Monday's weather and doesn't change the date Tuesday, but I know the weather for tueday was also downloaded (yeah I know the weather maybe is not up-to-date since was downloaded on Monday).

SMS info display problem

Hi xda!
I’m just getting into the HTC modding scene really must say thank you all for the great forum, you’ve been a big help to me in times of desperation.
Hopefully when I’ve learnt a little more I can contribute to your community.
I have a little problem and tried searching the forum but no luck
The date display in my messages in portrait mode obscures the contact name, is there any way to reduce the day format to say.. 3 letters? ie. mon not monday etc. to correct this? I have attached a screenshot so you can see what the hell I’m on about lol.
Thanks in advance and keep up the hard work!
I think this may have something to do with your "Short Date Format"... It sounds like it includes the day of the week. My Tilt only shows mm/dd/yy (or the time if the message was received today).
A quick look in Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Date tab seems to indicate that this would have to have been set in the registry, as I don't think it is possible to set it to show the day of the week in this screen. This would mean it's likely hardcoded in the registry.
If this is gibberish to you, let me know... lol

Trouble with Clock

Hi!
I have a big problem,

I tried many rom's (back to original and cooked)

Do you still have the problem after you uninstalled IGO8, because it can cause your phone to change the time according to your IGO8 settings everytime you launch IGO8.

[Q] Problems with HTC Viva after rooting.

O hai fellow tweakers!
I have problems that keep meddling with my daily life, which it does really troublesome.
1) My clock always get delay everything hour. Like, for a day it get delays up to 30 minutes.
2) How to change the location of the photos preview at the photo section on WinMo 6.5 stock interface?
Thanks much for your people's help. ; )
1) Check the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644783
If it doesn't solve your problem, try disabling "Automatic change time zone and clock" in Start > Settings > Phone
2) I don't understand what you mean, are you talking about M2D? Or the default WM Pictures & Videos program??
Which ROM are you using?
I have check that thread. That's is not my problems. Mine is I get delayed like 1/2 minutes each hour pass. Result in one day, I get delayed almost 30 minutes. If I leave it on, it will delayed more and more.
Default one. I use Evo Ultimate ß.
Another question I have in mind is, how can I change the no format in the phone when dialling. Like (XXX) XXX XXXX to XX XXXX XXXX.
Thanks.
hmmm, the time problem sounds weird to me. Did it happen in other ROMs? I use Evo Ultimate Beta, but I didn't notice any time delay issues.
Try enabling the "Automatic change time zone and clock" to let your device synchronize the time by itself.
If it doesn't work try other ROMs, or try a hard-reset. Maybe there's a software conflict somewhere. So a hard-reset will rule out software issues.
If the problem persists even on the stock ROM, then it could be a hardware glitch. So take it to a service center for inspection, or maybe just email the HTC customer support.
For your other questions I have no idea how to change the pictures preview folder because I don't use the stock interface, I'm using SPB Mobile Shell.
And I don't know how to change the number format too.
Sorry I couldn't help you with that.
Oh, okay. Thanks a lot. But where's the option to automatically setting my time at date? : S
It's here (the opposite of my suggestion in my first reply):
Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > "Time Zones" tab.
Check the option "Automatic change time zone and clock".
This way, your device will get the current time zone and clock from the mobile network, which should be always calibrated and accurate.
If it still doesn't work, I think you're left with the hard-reset option, or switching to another ROM.
Best of luck.
