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.

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.
Hi Everyone,
Could some one tell me how to change the clock from 24 hours to 12 hours. I have set regional settings to the US and that didn't help.
Cheers,
Alex
go back to regional settings; at the bottom is a tab 'time'; in there look at time style. You want hh:mm:ss not the hh:mm:ss tt one. That is 24 hr (it will show you above the time style. HTH
Thanks for the reply, it was set to the HH:mm:ss with time seperator at : and the am/pm symbols set, however it is still displaying in 24 hour mode.
I think you need H:mm:ss the double uppercase H normally is the indication for 24 hour time
D'Oh. Sorry I misread your thread. My instructions are for 24hr.
Follow simon_darley advice.
Thanks guys. After playing with it (I never noticed scroll arrows) the format should use a lower case h.
Cheers
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?
Tom
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.
I installed the imate rom 2.17 on my Tmobile MDA (USA) and I get this very strange glitch, initially the clock is set on the 24 hour setting instead of using AM/PM so I go into settings and change the regional setting to US english the defualt is united kingdom english, and when I click ok this resolves the problem, temporarily. until I soft reset the phone. Then the 24 hour clock is put back for good. after I soft reset the phone no matter which regional setting I use there is no more am/pm, there 24 hour clock is there to stay my only option is to hard reset the phone, and start all over, but I reach the same point because whenever I soft reset I am back where i started,
PLEASE PLEASE help me, I do not have the brain power to read the 24 hour clock how should I know what 17:30 means, its 5:30 pm for god sake
When you go into Regional Settings have you actually gone to the "Time" tab?
There you can set it. The ones that start with hh: are the 12 hour clock. The ones that start with HH are the 24 hour clock. Doesn't matter. When you click on one it shows you an example of what the time will look like.
Hope this helps

Yeah once I have reset the device when I go to the time top only two options are available HH:MM:SS and H:MM:SS the times with for the 12 hour clock arent even an option, its strange because I still have an option to set the am and pm
have you tried setting the STFmt value in the registry?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides\STFmt
chage the H or HH to h or hh
I just installed etenblack-smartdialer and i noticed it cause my clock to change from 12hrs to 24 hrs. is there anyway to change that? i have gone into the clock setting and in the regional setting and put it into 12hrs but it still hasn't changed back into 12hrs... Any help plz...
In the Time tab of the Regional Settings make sure the Time Style is set to h:mm:ss tt.

Yeah it is and it still showing it in 24hr mode...
You have to scroll up to find the tt at the end.
start - setting - system - regional settings - time - time style - hh:mm:ss: tt
