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

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?

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.

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
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?

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.
