24 hour time format

Try a fresh restore.

do a quick power on and off, then try to set the setting. If it holds and changes when you sync to the computer, it may be that the computer is throwing that off. Try making sure the computer has the same 24 hour setting. 😀

I just noticed mine was off as well - the update seems to have lost the setting. The setting seems to hold but I rarely power cycle mine.

As BonTemps noted, make sure your computer has the 24 hour setting also. Before the 1.1.1 update, my iPhone was able to have the 24 hour clock and my computer at 12 hour, but this is not the case anymore.

Yep, only noticed this yesterday, tried a whole bunch of things, such as changing setting on Date & Time on the computer, changing International settings, changing the iPhone's "Set Automatically" both to ON and OFF to no avail.

If you try other things, let us know, I just filed a bug report and I can include more info, there's probably others that have done the same by now and I would think some of the developers themselves might have also caught this, it's a pretty evident one.

It's a question of personal preference, but since I've used 24-Hour format for so long on everything I can, I can't stand the 12-hour format anymore!

Hoping for the best

Edit: Updated my Mac Model, don't know why it had the old one...

iMac Intel 2Ghz 17in OS 10.4.10 / iPhone 8GB v.1.1.1

Setting the time in Windows is critical to keeping a 24 hour clock. Outlook uses this time and then syncs the iPhone setting whatever time windows has sent to Outlook.

I suggest that you follow the steps in this URL:

Also make sure the settings on the iPhone are also set to 24 hours although it may not matter since the sync will establish what the iPhone setting should be.

Good luck!

I can't try this on Windows because my iPhone is set for my Mac. At least in iCal, the app to which the iPhone syncs calendars you cannot set the format to 24 hour, but since this problem appears to happen on both Win and Mac, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the host computer but rather how the iPhone is pulling the 12-hour preference.

Additionally, this didn't happen in previous iPhone sw versions...

From what I understand the MAC also has a universal time setting with the OS and as a resulting Outlook will also feed of of that setting.

I would set 24 hour setting on the iPhone as well.

Yes, tried changing the equivalent in Mac, and there is no Outlook in Mac, the iPhone is only friendly towards iCal for now, I wonder if that will change whenever MSFT finally releases Intel native Office sometime before 2050.

I can confirm similar problems. I am on 1.1.1 and syncing to an iMac G5 which also is set to use 24 hour time.

Syncing the iPhone reverts the time setting to 12 hour time.

Strangest thing is that the problem has not happened in a while, at least a week, I didn't update anything, only set it up as much as possible so that the iPhone would not have a place to assume I liked 12-hour format. Strange...
