[Q] Remove weekday number from date display - Huawei Ascend G6

Hi all,
I HAVE searched the forum and have yet to find anything regarding this.
My Ascend G6 has started (in the last 3-4 days or so) displaying the date like this:
2, 6 22, 2015
It does it on the lock screen, as well as in my calendar app (Business Calendar Pro).
Now, clearly the "6 22" refers to "day of month/month", and the "2015" is obvious.
However, the leading "2," I can only assume means "day of the week" (where 1=sunday, 2=monday, etc).
But I am unable to find any settings anywhere that might control this behaviour.
The phone is running its original factory ROM with Emotion UI 2.0 Lite.
The home screen launcher is Apex (free, not pro).
I have tried going into system settings/date and time, and fiddling with both manual setting of date/time info AND network carrier provided info, but neither option fixes the issue.
The system date format is set to "2015/12/31", so clearly the phone is NOT following that format.
If anyone is able to shed some light, I will be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!

Admins,
I just realised I posted this in the wrong spot.
Please feel free to move it to the Q+A and Troubleshooting sub-forum.
Apologies!

Two things to add....
It's now Tuesday and the leading numeral is indeed now 3, so it's definitely "day number".
And, I tried changing launcher and the 'problem' persisted, so it's not specific to Apex.
Keen to hear from anyone who has any ideas on what is causing this behaviour.
Cheers.

Daylight Savings

CHEFS: Disregard what I said below. I'm not convinced this is an issue in the ROMs after all. At least not yet. Mods, feel free to move this to the regular Raph forum or wherever's appropriate. Still investigating ...
-----
Hey Chefs -- Looks like at least some ROMs floating around are missing the latest Daylight Savings information. I discovered it using Proven, but since you guys build on one another's work, I'd be surprised if it's not in some of the other ROMs too.
Fix is here:

WM6.1 roms have this build in. That fix was from wm 5 and 6.
This is the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 (Pocket PC and Smartphone) update to address DST related issues in 2008 due to revised Daylight Saving Time laws in many countries.

That's what I thought, but the issue I described with my scheduling problem was indeed fixed by installing it.
Maybe something in my setup is an anomoly -- can any one else check on their post-March 8 events and see if they have a similar problem? And then see if this fixes it? It likely only comes up if you create an event in a system that knows the correct DST, then sync it to your phone.
It's possible that my DST information was overwritten somehow by some other software I've installed, but I can't think of what. I'll experiment after a hard reset and see if I get the same problem.

It is possible the fix was accidently removed from you rom. Or an older file was used for compatibility.
Stranger and stranger. The issue came back. Reinstalled the cab, it was fixed. Then it came back again (not sure if a soft reset triggered it, or possibly a sync with nuevasync). So probably not a ROM issue after all. I'd invite any mod to move this thread somewhere more appropriate. Still investigating ...
yupp i just looked at mine and it seems to have the same issue. I'm running RRE V4.4
edited
could have happened through outlook sync
I appear to have solved, or at least worked around, this issue by turnign off the option to change time zones and clocks in settings-personal-phone-time zones.
I imagine this is either: Something screwy with AT&T, or an unanticipated issue with AT&T's US settings and the ROM, since the ROM wasn't built specifically for the US (but certainly works on US devices).
I'd also guess that these events might correct themselves once we're actually in the DST period, but appear wrong until then. Probably because AT&T would compensate for the DST on its official clocks, as not all phones are smart enough to just work with the GMT behind the scenes and adjust appropriately.
However, just like before when I "fixed" it with the cab -- timed events have been corrected to their right times. Existing all-day events remain on the wrong day. New all-day events show up on the correct day.
If you believe something is missing from a rom, please post it in the thread for that rom so the chef would actually see it.
I -think- I finally found more on this:
It seems to come up if the phone is both:
1) Set to get Time Zones and clocks from the carrier
AND 2) If the registry setting to automatically change over for DST is turned off (this can be found in the misc. section of Advanced Config).
At least, this combo seems to cause it on AT&T.
If I'm not mistaken, these are both the default settings in the ROM I've been using.
It would come up if you create a time after the DST switchover (March 8) in something that syncs with the phone (in my case, my google calendar). You'd see the entry on the phone be one hour too early after it syncs.
Just a note: I'm still testing to make sure this is really the issue, but it seems to be bearing out so far.

TF3D Date/Time Stamp SMS Issue (2016?)

First of all... Happy New Years Everyone!!! I have a Sprint TP2. It's Jan. 1, 2010. My TF3D, however, thinks it's 2016 when receiving text msgs on my SMS stamp dates. I tried messing around w/ some settings on my phone, (doing soft reset, messing w/ TF3D calendar settings, changing WinMo time zone, etc.), but for some reason I keep getting my text msgs showing up as "1/1/16" as the date/time stamp in TF3D on my phone. It is also in the WinMo Threaded SMS, which wouldn't make it a total TF3D issue. When I change the calendar settings in TF3D to that calendar date, it only shows the time and not the physical date since it's a current day in TF3D's judgement.
The reason it shows that 2016 is the year, I believe, is that Jan. 1st on the 2010 and 2016 calendars both start on a Friday. Does anyone know of an existing fix or if there's some way to fix this without hard resetting my phone?

Thank you. I'm not the only one. I have the EXACT same problem. 2016 SMS timestamp. Tried everything I can think of.
Mines to, the exact same year also... its stupid because this 300 dollar "high tech" phone cant keep time better then my last cheap Razor.

Special Thanks To Ziggy!!!
I have to say that this is the quickest response to a sudden issue such as this. Didn't realize it could be solved that easily and within the same day. Nice touch putting this in a .cab format for those who aren't comfortable editing regristy files. Thanks again man.

x2, worked like a charm, may your online-name live in mobile device history ;D
Question about this. I don't have this issue BUT the SMS server on my provider is messed up. If I'm on 3G, it will date all my incoming SMS's one hour behind. If I'm on Edge or GSM, they are the correct time. Will this solve my problem aka use the device's time for the timestamp?
Will this work on GSM devices?
Hey all, while searching for a fix for these, I came across these links. They provide hot-fixes, by HTC. This has not only FIXED the problem of 2016, but also put the MMS/SMS separate thread issue to rest as well (if you are scratching your head, my phone, on top of the 2016 bug, was making separate threads for picture messaging, making it difficult to keep everything organized).
US Cellular Touch Pro 2: http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-pro2-us-cellular/downloads/
Sprint Touch Pro 2: http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-pro2-sprint/downloads/
These are the only Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 Fixes that were available via the HTC website. Verizon and AT&T either are not affected or have not made the fix available, yet.
Hope this Helps you all.
How to fix no bs
forum.(PEE PEE SEE)geeks.com/showpost.php?p=1454414&postcount=1
I know the link has been posted but short version is
If your rom cooked or OEM uses OEMDrivers (chances are is does)
then go to the link posted above
load the following on your phone and reboot when done loading BOTH to save time.
-Ziggy471 USCC Rilphone.cab
-CorrectSMSDate.zip
works for me
if you wanna know how read the post or simple version
first file patches/replaces a dll used when reviving sms to fix the issue rather than work around it like the reg edit "fix" file
second file fixes your screwed up times on the texts already on the device.
have fun hope that helps

Not sure I follow completely. The links I posted do both fixing whatever files needed fixing AND change the text messages already on the device. This was all on top of the fact that all the threads were together again (both SMS and MMS were in one thread, instead of two or more). AND, to boot, those links were to fixes made by HTC and for the Touch Pro 2 (for Both Sprint and US Cellular Versions). All other versions are work-arounds and third party (not made or authorized by HTC or the phone company), which can lead to extra charges if one were to have to bring it in for repair/replacement and they see non-standard Roms and so on.
Have a nice day.

Can anybody answer this question for me?
I'm looking for the download for the Official Sprint Hotfix for the 2016 timestamp. When Sprint/HTC released the patch, the HTC website and Sprint Website had different versions. My wife and I both have TP2's. I've updated to 6.5 and constantly flashing. I cannot convince my wife to leave the stock 6.1. I left the hotfix undone on hers in hopes of convincing her, but to no avail.
Now she really wants it fixed. HTC and Sprint have removed it from their websites and only have the 6.5 update. I have the one from the HTC website still (not sure how I lost the one from the Sprint website) and it gives invalid version. I have searched here, ppcgeeks and google, but only able to find the ones from the HTC website or non official fixes.
If anyone still has the one from the Sprint site laying around, an upload would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time in advance.

[2 ISSUES]Phone Canvas Visual Glitch+Tasks[OP-6/23/10]

Hey there. First time I've started a thread in here in a while but these 2 issues have been plaguing me for quite some time... Ever since I've been using Comm5 builds as a matter of fact.
For my first issue - I have a visual glitch in my phone canvas(See screenshot below) that has really started to IRK me.
Facts:
WM Version:
Code:
WM6.5.5 Build 23563
Phone Canvas Build:
Code:
PACKAGE_LEO_TMOUS_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_62120113626_0
Device:
Code:
You guessed it.. T-Mobile HD2
I've also attached the phone canvas itself so you can look at the actual files I'm using.
Now for the second issue - When I go to add a new task that has to have a start/due date assigned to it, I can't select a new date. I click on the date box and it auto-fills but doesn't let me actually use the date picker or the WM Calendar Popup box. In essence, I can't actually set dates for my Tasks when I need to add them. This would be much less of an issue if there was a better 3rd party tasks application available but sadly as of right now there isn't one so I really need the WM tasks app fixed.
As I'm sure you might have already guessed from either my signature or the first half of this post, I'm using the 23563 build from Da_G's thread.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
DH
Bumping this. Still have the problems and still seeking an answer.
+1 on not being able to set start / due date for tasks.
the date entry looks like it is selected, and one expects a date picker to popup, but nothing.
Bumping again. Still seeking a fix for the phone canvas and tasks in WM6.5.5 build 23563.
Bumping this again... Please help. The Tasks issue isn't nearly as important as the phone canvas glitch but honestly they're both driving me crazy...
I'm really desperate to get this fixed... I've searched for almost a week now and exhausted all my resources to find what is causing this issue.
Hi there friend,
Try HTC's website for downloads on your phone they have tons of bug fixes available. Some reason they only have the downloads available on the backdoor europe side, but looks like same phone - so at least it can point you in right direction.

hi. Finally found a working alternative for the buggy tasks in 6.5.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591794
works with the built in tasks, so they sync as normal with outlook, and since i am using cookies home tab mod, i can alter the default program to open when i click on a task to be this rather than the built in tasks.
Not ideal, i would have preferred to fix it, (i tried by cooking in an older version of tasks.exe and tasks.dll, but no joy) but better than no start/due time for tasks!

[Q] Custom contact ringtone problem. Help please.

First of all, let me say that not only am I new to android, I am also new to smartphones in general. So when - in your amusing video, which I quite enjoyed watching - you say 'noob'...I mean NOOB!
I have Googled this problem extensively and have posted this question on 5 other android support forums over the last month or so, and although it seems (from my research) many people have this or a similar issue, no-one has come up with a solution. A forum memer from one of those websites has now suggested I post this here. I have, before posting, searched this site also for a solution, but it appears that although some have a similar problem, there has not yet been a solution found, or the advice given hasn't worked in my case.
So here's hoping somebody here can help with this irritating and inconvenient issue:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Virgin Mobile
Country / Language: UK/English
OS / Browser / build number: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I am having the problem where I have set custom ringtones for some of my contacts, but they are not always being played as they are assigned.
I have all of my ringtones in an folder on my sd card (/sdcard/ringtones, having moved them from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones to see if this solved the issue. It didn't)). I have a custom ringtone (mp3) set as the default ringtone and a couple of other custom ringtones set for a few of my contacts. However, when I receive a call the phone does not play the correct custom ringtone for that caller but instead plays the custom ringtone assigned to the previous person that called. If the caller is also the previous person to have called me, then it will play the correct ringtone, as they are the previous caller. (If that makes sense??)
To reproduce: Basically I install some mp3s onto my SD card. I go into my contacts, choose a contact, then click 'edit'. I then set the desired ringtone as the custom ringtone for that contact and click 'save'. When that contact rings, instead of the assigned ringtone, my phone plays the ringtone of the person who called me before that. When the next person rings, it plays the ringtone it should have played for the last contact. And so on. When I check the details for that contact, it confirms the ringtone I had chosen is still selected for that contact, it just doesn't play that one, but the one of the previous caller.
In addition to posting on Android help forums, I have also reported this bug to Samsung, although I'm not convinced it is a Samsung problem as clearly (according to my research) it is happening across the board with several other makes of Android phones. However, the reply I received from Samsung was:
"Thank you for contacting Samsung. As of yet, Google has not developed a fix for this fault so we may have to have the phone taken in by one of our engineers without any real guarantee it will be resolved. We could set this up for you but you may have to wait 28 days for the phone to be returned to you."
I am sorry, but I think it is unreasonable to be expected to give my phone up for a month, with no guarantee the issue will be sorted, just to be able to use a facility Samsung state is already available on the phone when it is clearly not.
I am inclined to believe this is an Android problem, and therefore would really appreciate any advice/a fix/solution anyone on here may be able to offer.
Thank you.
This problem - or lack of a solution - is really annoying me now as no-one seems to have a fix for it. I have over the last month posted on 6 forums: Android Central, Android Forums, Android Community, Google Android Support, OHA Project Issues and XDA developers. In total the post has had over 2500 views but NO solution!
I have also submitted the issue to Samsung - they don't know how to fix it either!
Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!
I just don't understand why the developers of both the phone and the operating system can't solve a problem in their own product!
PLEASE, can anyone help?
"Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!"
Looks like it
Thanks for all the interest. Not.
Well. I was advised to post this question on here by a couple of other Android forums, as they said you guys love trying to find solutions to this kind of thing.
But not even any interest or replies or even acknowledgement, least of all any suggestions.
Guess those Android forums just got it wrong.....
It might be true that Samsung can't do much to fix this, it's clearly a software problem and maybe it has not been fixed by Google (or maybe it has been fixed and you don't have the OS version that has the fix, i.e. Gingerbread 2.3.6/2.3.7)
I'm sorry to see that nobody replied to this yet, but the reason might be simply because nobody really knows how to fix (if possible) this problem. Again, this is a software problem and Samsung doesn't have much to do here, so you could try and flash a newer OFFICIAL rom for your Ace, as custom roms might have some other bugs. (You could try with CyanogenMod maybe?)
I hope you can find a way to make it work good luck.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Orange Romania
OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I too have had a similar problem: when a normal contact calls it uses default ringtone... when a custom ringtone contact calls after that, the same default ringtone is used... if the custom contact calls again the custom ringtone is used.
Possible solution:
Put all ringtones in SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones
Go to Contact -> Edit -> Ringtone -> select Sound -> browse SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones and select your custom .mp3 file -> Save Contact
Test to see if it works and then reboot and see if it still works.
Please reply or press Thanks button to let me know how it turned out

Thanks, but I had already tried this in the beginning, but no luck
I'm sorry to hear that... That exact method helped me. It may still have a glitch every week or so but it doesn't happen very often.
unbelievable, looks like there is truly no solution.. screw everything that Android has to offer if something as trivial as this can't be fixed.

Series of text logs following a restart - Not observed before what are they? (And a couple of other questions)

Hey there, got a few questions that I'm hoping someone knowledgeable could answer for me. If this should be posted elsewhere let me know, any advice would be great! DM replies are welcome.
I'll be vague but recently I've begun to notice inconsistencies on my phone that I share with someone very close to me. They are more technologically capable than I am and have so far protested their innocence. so I'd really like to know what's happening if at all possible, may be nothing but I don't have the experience to know either way.
1. Found a series of txt logs that I didn't seem to be able to open, they appeared - after my phone powered off - in my documents folder with time stamps that appear to be shortly before the phone was turned on again (images included below). What are they? I have never noticed these before.
https://ibb.co/DV512T4
2. Whether coincidentally or not I also noticed 2 entries in my notifications for "download.bin" and "unknown" each from before the power off however when searching my download manager, found nothing, what could this be? Come to think of it I have noticed very similar occurrences in the past however didn't think of it as odd until recently.
3. My notification history has reset about 4 or so times in the past few months, to my understanding this should only be possible when disabling and reenabling the setting - I am referring to the 24 hour breakdown. I cannot find any mentions of this and with other things I've noticed recently (permissions manager being accessed multiple times during the play time of one particular game interspersed with the use of chrome observed through app manager, empty notification categories etc). Phone has been out of my possession each time. Am I correct in saying that this is evidence of the data being manually cleared/affected, can I even find evidence as to whether or not that's happened? I have not found any information on the 24 hour breakdown disappearing other than "turn it off and on again to wipe" - If so, is there a way of accessing or restoring old logs so I can check the days where the history went?
I had a talk with the person about things like hidden apps, operating system changes and a load of other stuff that went over my head so I really don't know what to expect but I've since changed my passcode and restricted their access until I have a better view of how my phone's been used.
Final question, I've noticed a large number of screenshots and camera photos being taken according to my device care setting and history, problem is when I go to access my gallery, recycle bin etc - They aren't there. I haven't yet tried recovery methods as I am unsure about my options but advice on that one would be good.
Thanks for your time and any help offered in advance!
I remember a similar post not too long ago, that was almost exactly the same. Now it seems the same post, but posted as a first post of a new member. I find this dubious...
My advise: do not share your phone with anyone, especially when in doubt what they do with your phone.
If you are suspicious of what they may have done/installed on you phone, do a factory reset and continue with a clean phone. Before factory reset, back up only files/data that you trust.
Finaly, this post seems to have no relation with the S21 Ultra, so you're in the wrong forum.

I'll be vague but recently I've begun to notice inconsistencies on my phone that I share with someone very close to me. They are more technologically capable than I am and have so far protested their innocence. so I'd really like to know what's happening if at all possible, may be nothing but I don't have the experience to know either way.

This reminded me about my ex wife who always protested her innocence.
Do a factory reset (hard reset) and NEVER EVER give your phone to anyone!

Problem here is that I can ask her about things like this and get an "oh I don't know" etc etc. When you lack the technical knowledge to know for sure it's a real downer because frankly I could be staring evidence dead in the face and be unable to see it. Looking at these logs, what would you say is going on here? I need someone that actually understands this stuff to put my mind at ease, or alternatively tell me exactly what's gone on.
I've asked about the facebook downgrade attempt and simply got asked "Why would I do that, there's no benefit to it. Wouldn't even know how". I am not having a fun time right now lol.
Thanks a lot for your reply

You seem to have missed the point, the idea is to try and gain understanding on the log and to determine what process would have caused it to generate and contain the data it does over 3 months after purchasing the phone. I don't know if I explained that well enough so if so my apologies.
I don't know how to answer that myself so I used a public forum to try gain the answer, I don't feel like that's wrong?
Also this is a log from an S21 Ultra 5g so it made sense to post it there
