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 have been searching for days on numerous forums and have so far been unable to find any reference to this problem. So after following forum etiquette, I am finally posting this thread.
My clock has been displaying the extra 0 in front of a single digit time.. ex: 09:04 instead of just 9:04. My wife's Mogul still displays the time correctly, so I have no clue as to how mine changed to do this. It is very annoying, and I would sure like to know how to fix this.
Anyone? Thanks
James
You need to go to Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Time -> Time Style. Time style should be set to h:mm:ss tt. This will fix yours to get rid of that extra 0
Thanks.. found it and all is now well in this time zone!!
but why would anyone want to use 12 hour time??
because they want to....
Using 0.98. Is there anyway to stop both date and time being displayed once you lock. Have tried using the settings program and got the clock to disappear by not setting a clock font, but no similar option for the date, so this still appears. Thanks in advance
Turn curtain off. Perhaps that removes everything though. IT's an option at the bottom of the settings.
no. the curtain is only to remove
the translucent shadow that is behind the clock and date so as to maKe them more legible.
A better place to post all of this might have been in the development and hacking section under the Slide 2 unlock thread? Just a thought.

Right, had enough of the forum police following me around, nothing actually productive just derogatory. Will post my question in the "development" section, thanks to those who did try to assist!
Yeah you can edit out the date in the registry. HKCU - software- AC- s2u2 and delete everything in the dateformat data.
I was not trying to be negative. I was just saying that you might find the exact answer you are looking for in there. No harm meant.
this version doesnt work on my touch. going back to 96.
change the lang.ini file and have a blank date.
Thanks decimusmaximus7, that's a winner!
Is there a way to change this?

Yes.
If you are asking how to change it, then the answer is: Start -> Settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Time
Thank you very mutch
I've been trying to do this - I somehow managed it with my Diamond, but no luck with the HD yet - I'm trying to go the other way, from 24hr TO am/pm - but if UK English regional settings are selected, 24hr appears to be the only default option and there's no visibly simple way to switch it (unf... not that I've found at any rate)
Same problem
I want to switch to 24 hour clock. When I change it in the regional settings it does nothing for the touch flo 3d clock....
It should, are you using the stock ROM? Change it so you get a 24 hour clock in the title bar then soft reset and see if TouchFlo catches up.
in regional settings, goto tab: time,
time shoud be: HH:MM:ss
I'm sorry
I'm sorry,
What I meant to say, was that it changes to the 24 hour format but i thought 'HH' meant to have the leading zero for 00:00 - 09:00, instead i get 0:00 - 9:00.
Not a big deal...

In fact, the 2 "h" ("hh" or "HH") means to put a leading zero. The capital "H" instead means to use a 24 hour clock, rather than a 12 hour one (which is obtained through "h" or "hh").
So if you want a 2-digit, 24 hour clock, you should use "HH".
I had the same problem and this solved for me. Hope that it helps you too.
Thanks

Anyone has any idea to switch to 12-hour clock with AM/PM for FLIP clock? I manage to do it for small clock (as well as everywhere else) but the flip clock just stays at 24-hour format even after changing Regional settings and NLS registry key.
I remember when I got the HD, the flip clock was in 12-hour format but after installing certain apps it converted to a 24-hour.
Hello, anyone know why my Touch HD didnt automaticly change the clock this morning?? (forward 1 hour) thanks in advance
Paul.
Ok did all yours change automaticly???
Paul.
+1 hour
Didn't update on my Diamond2 with the latest HTC ROM with manila 2.5. Always has before so I guess it must be ROM dependant..
"Always has before " i must be doing someting wrong (settings wise)
Tanks for reply bro
Paul.
+1 hour
"Always has done before" means on my other WM devices...don't know about any settings..
Ohhhh! ok thanks
Paul
Flipping ekk! c'on someone must know!?? TBH im not really bothered but its just bugging me that this phone must be able to update summer time!......Or am i wrong?
Paul.
Stock ROM
I'm running stock ROM on my Orange Touch HD, and the clock advanced as it should. (I also have a cooked ROM on my Elf (Touch) and that advanced correctly too!)
Well GREAT! then can someone tell me how to do it then please!
Paul.
Automatic change time zone and clock
Have you enabled "Automatic change time zone and clock"?
You can find it in Settings ==> Personal ==> Phone ==> GSM/UMTS Services ==> Time Synchronistion (WM 6.1)
Had the same problem, but when I enabled it the clock changed to the right time...
Cheers for that, but i get to this point "Personal ==> Phone" and i cant find/do any changes as you say!
Paul.
I managed to get my phone set to summer time but my recurring appointments are still one hour later than they should be. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
I just want to know why none of you lot cant give me a solution?????
Does the phone update auto, or not ???????? (stock rom)
paul.
Hi Paul. On my phone you go Settings ==> Personal ==> Phone ==> Time Zones and then tick the box that allows you to set it to adjust automatically. That worked for me but still did not solve my problems in my calendar. Aaarrrgh!
+1 hour...
I don't know if this sheds any light on it....
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx
Somedaysctarch do you have a HTC TOUCH HD???
Because i cant see this option you mention...."Time Zones and then tick the box that allows you to set it to adjust automatically"
Paul.
Paul,
Yes I do have an HTC Touch HD. On my phone when I go Start ==> Settings ==>Phone I see a screen that has options for sounds at the top of the page. At the bottom are tabs for Phone, Services, Network, etc. If you press on the right hand arrow you will see a tab for Time Zones. If you click this you get a tick box to "Automatic change time zone and clock." If you tick this it should automatically shift to daylight savings time or the equivalent in your area. Hope this helps!
Thanks mate but thats not on mine????????????????
Ill try the other guys reply! cheers anyway.
paul.
Well Looby i installed that cab! thanks mate, thing is how can i "test it" or do i have to wait till the clocks go back??? becoming a mission this is hehe
Paul.
Install schap's Advanced Config, have a look at the settings at the bottom under the heading "Miscellaneous", there is an option there "Automatic daylight savings switch over", enable it and soft reset.
No idea how to test. I guess putting the clock to 28-Mar-2010 00:30 and seeing what happens...
