disappearing day display? got the date but no 'friday'

hello!
hope this makes sense!
at the top of the today page there is the display for the date.......
it normally reads "Friday 01 July 2005"
but on my device (qtek s100 1.12 rom) it only displays "01 July 2005" the day has gone???
this only seems to happen after installing some programs, but its dosnt seem to be a specific one?
hope someone can help
many thanks

I have the same thing here. But if I put my regional settings back to Dutch it does display the date thing the right way, but in Dutch. (And that doesn't make sense if evertything else is in English) I have the regional settings on English and it doesn't say which day of the week it is.

If your regional settings are US then it displays the Day, but UK doesn't.
Sucks :evil:

You can customise the date display on the today screen. You need a registry editor and need to add a new registry key.
Browse to:
\HKLM\nls\overrides
and add a new STRING value called SLDte
Its value can be a combination of:
d - One/two digit day number
dd - Two digit day number
ddd - Abbreviated weekday name
dddd - Full weekday name
M - One/two digit month number
MM - Two digit month number
MMM - Abbreviated month name
MMMM - Full month name
y - One/two digit year number
yy - Two digit year number
yyy - Full year number
On mine, my SLDte key is set to
dddd, d MMMM yyyy
so today it displays "Friday, 1 July 2005"
Hope that helps...

Register strings
Hi

Coul somebody please tell me how many entries they have in
nls\overrides
It looks like i could have deleted 1 by mistake. I only have 3 inc the date change string.
many thanks

thank you now have the day back!

Many thanks for that tip. Do you know if there any simple way to put the time on the same line too, there's probably space and it would work well there. No worries if not, it's on the bar above anyway.

Can change the clock from 24hr to 12hr

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.

Date in Today screen on one line?

On my device on the Today screen the date is shown over 2 lines. This seems a waste of screen space. How can I get it to show over one line?
Current, e.g.
Monday........................2154
05 June 2006
Wanted, e.g.
Monday 05 June 2006....2154
Thanks

I don't know how to do that, sorry, however have you considered putting the date above the time on the taskbar? That way you can see the date in every window, and you can save even more today screen space. If you want to give this a try, then look at my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=301200#301200

Hi, yes use lvmtime from the forum's own levenum
see here download cab, install and soft reset http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084&start=0

Thanks, I'll have a look at the taskbar option and also try the plugin.

or you could upgrade to the new AKU 2.2 ROMs. Then you can get the clock back in the topbar, and a one line date-line on the today-screen.

Clock from AM/PM to 24 Hours

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.

Adding the "Day of the week" in M2D Home?

Hello,
Is it possible to get the information about the day (Sun, Mon etc) in M2D Home Tab?
I tried changing the date on the left side top of M2D Home Tab, by changing the regional settings(or HKLM\nls\overrides) but to no avail.
This link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446406) tells me its not possible.
Now is there an possibility to customize M2D (customizing HTCHomeSettings.xml) to display the day of the week anywhere else on the screen?

No you cant change, unless you use the newer M2D versions.

Success!!
I did manage to change the date and to display the day of the week on M2D.
I got this information while browsing another forum (Jade). The thing missing was the "HKCU\MUI\Curlang" registry edit.
Thanks nikmaster74 and azahidi.
For your reference:
8) Change Date Format on TF2D Home Tab - Credit to nikmaster74 for pointing this reg edit.
Check registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - if value is 1033 (decimal), most likely the date format will be american format (mmm dd, yy). Changing registry <SSdte> at this state will not change the date format at Home Tab.
How to change ?
Go to registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - change value 1033 to 409 (decimal) - Save - Soft Reset >>> date on Home Tab will change to format dd/mm/yy (depending on what's at <SSDte>).
Now, if you want to change to other formats, go to HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte and put whatever format you wish.
e.g. ddd dd/MM/yy will return a date Thu 29/01/09. Note: doing this will also change date format at other tabs like emails, messages, file folders, etc.
