Military time? Never though of that term. (Almost) the whole word is using 24-hour style.

i think americans call it military time and call it stuff like 15 hundred!!!!! at least thats what movies told me

Dad was in the RAF (British) and iv grown up with military time. Tried 'regular time' twice now, and both times miss set my alarm by mistake.

Some Americans call it military time. Not sure why since there's a lot more people than the military that uses it.

Theres a reason for it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_time said:
In Australia, Canada and the United States, the term military time is a synonym for the 24-hour clock notation, which counts the hours of the day from 00 to 23.[1] In these regions, the time of day is customarily given almost exclusively using the 12-hour clock notation, which counts the hours of the day as 12, 1, ..., 11 with suffixes AM and PM distinguishing the two diurnal repetitions of this sequence. The 24-hour clock is commonly known there only in a few specialist areas (military, astronomy, computing, logistics, emergency services, hospitals), where the ambiguities of the 12-hour notation are deemed too inconvenient, cumbersome, or outright dangerous, with the military's use being historically the first and most famous example. The term "military time" has no particular meaning in most other regions of the world, where the 24-hour clock has long become a common element of every-day civilian life.

I think we should all use UTC / Zulu Time .. Ditch the local time and time zones

We'd still have to use time zones... Even if we went to UTC time. As someone who regularly uses it, I think it would be less confusing to use UTC time. You should probably know that though.

Just as a side note, the US Railroads were the ones who invented and introduced Time Zones. Before this, there were a dizzying amount of time zones used in the US, even adjacent cities would use different times, this caused several problems of course and made the safe running of trains much harder. Your info lesson for the day

There is no option on either the regional setting nor on the clock setting. Can someone help me set it to non military time??
I am using Dutty's build (19199.duttys) V6.1 on AT&T tilt.
I like the ROM, but wondering if there is a newer one out with more stuff on it.
Also, Is there a newer ROM out? I can't seem to be able to find a link to ROMS where everyones Rom is listed and updated? Is there not such a thread or area Website, ftp? with updated rom listings.
Thanks for all the help in advance.

I wish it was simple as that. I have changed it as you said to h:mm:ss and hh:mm:ss and hit ok.. and then changed the clock and it's all the same.
I even did a stylus reset and nothing... maybe I need an updated ROM.
Thanks.

For some reason it seems like the basis of timezones were first introducted in UK... (not US...)
Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#History
And IMHO, I prefer the 24hr format (especially since every time I need to wonder what midnight is : am or pm in the 12hrs format)

I am in the US, but have always referred to it as 24 hour time... and it's what I use. I work in the Broadcast industry, and to complicate things, have to deal with about 6 different timezones.
My favorite example, when Indiana was divided between two timezones, we had a station broadcasting from one timezone into the other. Some things had to run based on Eastern Time, and others, Central Time, and still others came in with Pacific Time notations....
I think it might take a learning curve, but we should stop using timezones, or at least do away with 'Daylight Saving Time'.
Stepping off of soapbox now

UK here, and from some limited travelling in Europe 'military time' is more often used than normal time. BBC News (if it sets any standards ) uses 24 hour clocks. I don't know why, I'm just much more comfortable with a 24 hour clock, although I don't ever say '18 hundred hours' I would say 6 o clock, just the way it's written is different...
To each their own though maybe it's because I'm from the metric generation, metres instead of feet, celsius instead of fahrenheit (I still don't know what my mum means when she says it was 109, that's hotter than boiling water in my book) and such.

Carrier display

Hey there,
I have 2 questions which I seem to be unable to figure out. But so far I can't find the answer here in the forum, nor on the internet in general, neither in my registry....so please help me out
First all, I would like to have the size of my carrier which is being displayed in Manila to be bold or bigger in some way. It's quite annoying when driving nearby the border of the country having to stare at my display (danger for car traffic lol) to see whether I'm still on my national carrier or if it has changed to the one of the other country.
Second: I'm using a so-called virtual carrier. So my phone always think's that I'm roaming. It displays the triangle on top of the screen (that doesn't bother me at all), but what bother's me is that it's displaying the name of the network of the official carrier + the name of my virtual carrier.
As example, mine displays: 3G NL KPN NL TELFORT. Which is pretty annoying as that doesn't fit in my screen If I'd be abroad it would display 3G NL KPN VODAFONE IT (for Italy). In my case, I just want to see NL TELFORT, or VODAFONE IT or... well, you get the point. I don't need to be constantly remembered of what is my official carrier.
I remember in WM5 I could change names in the registry, if I remember correctly. But I can't seem to find this in WM6.1.
Could anyone help me with this?

Go to [HKLM/Software/Microsoft/RIL/OperatorNames] with your registry editor and create a new String value with your network operator 5-digit ID.
"00000"="OperatorNameWhateverYouLike" (you can enter any name you like, but it has to be a valid 5-digit ID for your operator)
Soft reset, or just reinitialize TF3D.
Example for Beeline (Russian GSM network) "25099"="Beeline"
Operator IDs have to be searched for. Some of them can be found here, or go to
[HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL]
"StoredIMSI"="00000xxxxxxxxxx" - First 5 digits of your IMSI should match your current Operator ID. Good luck!

Thank you!! This has already helped me 75%
I hope someone coudl help me also getting the characters bigger

You're welcome. I'm pretty sure this cannot be done by registry changes. It's probably inside one of the Manila files.

This is interesting. In looking at the fix, I could see that the timezone was changed from 360 to 300. I expect that 300 refers to 300 minutes (5 hours) less than GMT. My checks show that Ottowa's standard time is -5 GMT but it is currently on Daylight Savings time from March 8th, making the current time -4 GMT. How is this reflected in the manilla file?
I too have found that my city Port of Spain in Trinidad shows the incorrect time but from my review of the database, the Timezone shows 240, which is -4 GMT, which is correct, yet the time shown is wrong. Port of Spain does not use Daylight Savings time so what is needed to correct it.

There are also a link in the database point to windows mobile time-zone setting, that is called MSID. This is also affected the time zone showing in the manila.
Basically, the MS database was correct, but the Manila some how is wrong, as you notice, the interesting part is the "minutes" that "add/minus" in the database was not always same as the "GMT +/-". What we can do is make it run for the meantime until HTC fix it.

I changed Port of Spain's MSID from 50 to 55 and I got the correct time. I copied the MSID from Bridgetown, Barbados which carries the same time and which was correct. If this is correct, perhaps you can update your database to reflect this change.

hey Peacocb, where did you get your phone and what carrier are you using. I'm thinking of getting this phone over the TP2 as I don't need the keyboard.
Thanks

[Q] Operator text <yyyyy> added

Hi!
I have problems with ROM version 1.69.401.01 - and its descendants (e.g.: Custom ROM by ansar) - that it displays my operator text and than adds five "y"s at the end. If I flash other ROM this is displayed correctly. No update has effect on this.
Real OP name is "T-Mobile H" and it is displayed as "T-Mobile Hyyyyy".
Can anyone give me some info on this? How the name is determined or is there a way to customize it?
Thank you,
Cina.

Same here, got "PLAYyyyyyyyyy" and "ORANGEyyyyyyyy"

Anyone? Must be a stack problem...

No change.

Did you change the right value? The last two should be set to English (United States). Reboot the phone afterwards

My bad. You were right. I've just changed the locale (second option) not the last two. It works. If I change back everything to Hungarian it gives back all my y's. I wonder if it is based on a registry entry or similar...
Thanks anyway,
Cina.

just leave it like this , I couldn´t find any difference between these settings that should have dramatic impact on the phone.

[Q] Blinkfeed feeds from country.

Here's a question for all HTC ONE users (I've still not got mine yet, so can't test it out).
Is it possible to select sources from a different country from where you are using or bought your phone from?
For example, UK phone wanting to get USA sources for Blinkfeed.
I'm asking cos I will be buying my phone from Hong Kong but since I can't read Chinese, it will mean I only have a few English feeds to read.
I had a try at https://start.htcsense.com, and the first option is to set your Country, does that also happen when you first set up your phone/Blinkfeed as well?
Would it be possible to change your country or locale of your feed? OR will that have to wait for a new version where you can enter your sources directly?

Yeah it is possible
Yeah it is possible to select sources from a different country
On main/ Blinkfeed screen, goto right corner - just above blinkfeed, hit the 3 dots - then go settings , local content and set local content (Country or International)
As for entering your OWN PERSONAL sources directly (RSS FEEDS) -Thats not possible at the minute, I believe that all content if funneled through HTC Servers, but you can select from the HTC offerings , smartphone feeds, entertainment feeds ect, ect
hope this helps
Hit THANKS
if this helped
Thx :good:
