Hello,
I have an Imate JAMin. I'm not able to change the time display format from 24hr to 12 hr. I've already changed the Regional Settings from UK to US yet everything changes (date, number format, etc.) except for the time format. Obviously all my appointments are showing in the 24hr format which I'm not used to. Please help.
Time Style
Settings>System>Regional Settings>Time>Time Style>h:mm:ss tt
The drop down menu for Time Style has several options not just the ones shown. Scroll up in the menu and find h:mm:ss tt. Thats the one you want.
Thanks
Yeap! That solved it. I didn't realized I had different options as I scrolled up and down.
Thanks!

Hi. Quick question. Per
http://www.phm.lu/PocketPC/RegTweaks/Tweak.asp?ref=52
it is possible to display date above time on top of the screen but this hack results in date displayed in DD/MM/YY format on my XDA2.
Does anyone know of a different value for this registry key that will display date in DD/MM format along with the time?
Thanks in advance & best regards
In our case, the XDA II registry does not have any entries for HLM\nls\overrides so you will have to create the same.
SSDte -- the short date style d M yy
change to dd/MM
Thanks for your reply but I am a little confused. Sorry.
Are you saying I should change the system wide short date format from dd/mm/yy to dd/mm to achieve my goal? If yes any ideas how I can do this without using Control Panel / Regional Settings applet? The Date tab there has preset formats in the drop down and does not allow me to enter dd/mm as a format.
Is I totally misread it can you kindly re-iterate? Thanks a lot!!!
What you have todo is:
1st set the desired format in control panel
2nd apply the registry tweak
The date displayed after the soft reset is in the format you've set in the control panel regional settings
Success
Right. I got it so far. Now the question is how can I se tthe short date format to be DD/MM then. The control panel does not have this as an entry in the selection drop down and does not allow free form entry.
Thanks for your help. Regards
In registry go to
HKLM\nls\overrides
Create a new string key which is named SSDte and give is the value dd-MM
it works like a charm
greets
Thanks a lot! That worked great!!!! The key was there actually in my case and was set to d/M/Y. Changing it to dd/MM was simple enough. I tried changing the setting through the Control Panel applet and I observe that whatever setting I change it to gets to be stored in HKLM\nls\overrides under SSDte and once I change it to anything but dd/MM this option is no longer in the drop down. Thanks for the pointer.
Would you also happen to know where I need to go for changing the time format from 12H to 24H? My Today screen shows 4:56 right now and I would like to show 16:56 if possible. Your help is most appreciated.
Time Format
Let me first clearify that what I told you is the same as told by zabes64.
The time format is done in the same registry part
If there is a key STFmt then change this if it is not then create it (string type)
The time format is as follows:
H 24 hours no leading zero
HH 24 hours with leading zero
m minutes no leading zero
mm minutes with leading zero
s seconds no leaing zero
ss seconds with leading zero
Think you would enter something like HH:mm:ss of HH:mm etc.
Choice is yours
markutah, thank you sooo much!!! this worked great! Now I know one more way to make my XDA look & work just the way I like it. Thank you very much!

markutah or anyone else, I have followed these instructions perfectly and I get the date in the correct format and the time in 24 hour format but no matter what I do it will not show me the seconds....I am missing something or is this not possible.
a small digital clock glued to your chosen place on the screen would be ideal, no impact on ram or storage either.

TaskBarDate
The registry-editing-nerds like myself, can also use a nice freeware called TaskBarDate with the same results.

Thanks, very curious. Just tried to do this again (ROM reinstalled). Date & time great except for seconds. Rebooted, and now my PocketBreeze does not display on the Today screen. Go to settings and it is still checked off, tried rebooting still nothing.
I have only 7 items in my settings and 6 are checked.
Removed these settings and rebooted, PB is back.
I've had a problem almost since I bought my K-Jam where I can't change the clock from 24hr to 12hr...17:04 to 7:04pm. After the ROM upgrade, it went back to 12hr mode....I was happy. Now, for some reason, it's back to 24hr mode...no matter what changes I make within Regional Settings I can't get it to go back to 12 hour mode.
Any thoughts on this?

Often overlooked in the regional settings\time change h:mm:ss to h:mm:ss:tt (scroll up) that should do it.
If not u have a bug

I had the same problem...the critical point there is SCROLL UP...the dropdown (at least for me showed 2 items) and I didn't realize that I could SCROLL UP to see the non 24 hour settings.
I am having the same problem, but I knew about the regional settings and tried to change it several times, nothing works. It's stuck on 24 hour time.

use this reg tweak
Code:
HKLM\nls\overrides\STFmt = "hh:mm t" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Please note that the single 't' only shows P or A in the Taskbar and the Clock/other applications. If you use 'tt' it will show as 'PM' and 'AM' in the Clock/other applications, but it doesn't display at all in the Taskbar.
I prefer h:mm t or h:mm tt so you get no 0 before time
or you can try h:mm tM if you want aM displayed in the task bar and don't mind big m - my own tweak
this may do it
You guys are the best!!!!!!
I scrolled up and found what I was looking for. I'm all good now.
I didn't know that I could actually scroll. I used the lower case settings and I'm back to normal.
Thanks again!!!!
Tom
Yay, that was bugging the hell out of me as well.
This is my first post here and Ive run into some trouble. Ive got a Tmobile MDA which I unlocked and flashed to Cingulars 2.17 rom (I am with Cingular). Ive overclocked and changed the popular registry tweaks and its running great.
Problem is with my ringtone. Ive set an mp3 as a ringtone and it got moved to the phones memory. Okay got that part, but after a couple calls it reverts back to the crappy default ringtone. My mp3 is still in the list but it isnt set to ring anymore. This has been happening since I got it.
Also I cant get it out of military time. I found only one post reffering to this and I couldnt fix it on my phone. I went to settings/ system/ regional/ time and there is no option for changing it. Only for 00:00:00 and 0:00:00 time format. Both show 24 hour clock only.
Seems like simple problems but I cant find the answer anywhere, please help!

Go back to the same drop-down list and tap on the down arrow on the list to scroll down until you see h:mm:ss tt or hh:mm:ss tt. The lower case 'h', 'm' and 's' indicate 12hr clock format. Upper case letters which you initially saw are for 24hr clock format.
Thanks Keitaro! I only saw the 2 options and didnt notice it scrolled. Awesome! Now if my ringtone stayed put Id be set....for now :wink:
Hi all. I suppose this may be a WM5 regional setting issue but I searched all over with no luck. I want to change the format of the Date item in the Today screen. Currently it displays the date with a line feed (wrap) between the day name and the date, and it has the current time right-aligned on the same line. I don't want the time shown here - it's already on the top bar. I only want the date (and possibly a slight larger font size) here with no wrapping. Is there a hack for this, or do I need to get a additional Today plugin for this?
this is the thread for a TodayTimeCab plug-in that can replace the default date/time display, where you can opt not to show the time (can also select the font size).

thanks raymonds!
no problem.
Today I upgrade my good old XDA2s from Windows 2003SE to WM6, and till now I'm loving it.
As I'm not rally used to the 12hr AM/PM time format, I would like to use the 24HR format, but for some reason I can not get it to work.
Anyone here who might know how to set this in WM6?
Thank you.
Try looking in Start | Settings | System tab | Regional Settings | Time tab - the first item on the page is "Time Style".
Click on the arrow and then scroll up/down until the time is displayed as "HH:mm:ss" - that's 24hour format with a leading "0" (e.g 06:25). You could select "H:mm:ss" if you don't want the leading "0" in the hour part.
Hope that helps,
Mark.
Grrrr.. Thats how I did it, but I selected HH:mm:ss tt, and this did not work :/
When I select HH:mm:ss (as you suggested), all is working fine, and I'm in 24hr mode
I guess I need some time off now.
Thank you for your help
