Strange glitch with the new imate 2.17 rom

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

How To Set Time To Pm Instead Of 24 Hour Clock (help)

I Donno But It Was 24 Hour Clock Then One Day It Changed To Pm But Now Its Back To 24 Hour Clock, How Do I Change To Am/pm?

You just have to go into settings and then into the system tab and then into regional settings. There should be a time format in there.

thx but after changing it remains the same of 24 hour clock..

Now that is strange.... Which panel are you using?

touchflo 3d

altho i changed back to the xperia panel (top left corner) it still 24 hour clock...

help pls.. piush

So your settings regional settings are set to United States? If thats the case i don't know what to tell u besides there is some glitch. try uninstalling touchflo 3d and reinstalling it. Since this is across ur entire system i think ur regional settings are set wrong

How Should I Set My Settings In Exact Form Pls Help ><

You should only have to change the regional settings to the united states.
Settings->System->Regional Settings->Region
Set that to United States and look at the appearance samples. You should be able to see your time format and if its still doesn't have an am or pm go to the time tab and change time style to h:mm:ss tt

i tried all... doesn't work tho

Best other option i can give you is a hard reset. It should work fine. Have u tried to uninstall tfl3d?

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.

Summer time switch messed up SE panel

After we had the summer time switch in the U.S. of A., the clock in the clock setting has chaged (1 hour ahead) and also shows that is all panels, except of the SE panel! If I change the time inside this panel, the rest of the panels and system time changes to a wrong time (2 hours ahead!).
Is there a cab for the SE panel in Generic_UK R2A 10 version so I can try to reinstall that panel (instead of resetting the entire device)?
Anybody else had this happen (in the U.S. of A. and another counrty where the time switched?
Regards
PS
Yeah I saw the panel here listed, but its listed since the phone came out and no info on it, so it is to presume that this is the panel from fw version R1A. If anybody has the new version, I could try to solve the problem by reinstalling that one. Unless one comes up with the registry entry to change that in there perhaps....

My time across WinMo changed, but the SE panel wasn't correct, I then checked the Daylight Savings time box and it corrected. Did you have that checked when you changed the time?

The time changed by itself. Where is this Daylight time box to checkmark? I don't see that.

Click on Options.
Go to your city.
Check daylight savings box.

Thanks a lot! There is was.... and now it is correct. However, why is this only with this panel? The others (fish i.e.) shows the correct time.

I actually don't know why it's like that. Maybe it's just a tiny programming thing that they messed up on.

Spring Forward!

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...
