In iOS 8 version, the way to do this is little bit different than older versions.

Settings>General>Langage & Region>Calender and select Gregorian 🙂

I saw this earlier today with another iPhone. Your phone is set to the wrong calendar (it's set to the Buddhist calendar and not the Gregorian calendar).

Go to:

Settings>General>International>Calendar

In that menu, change your calendar from Buddhist to Gregorian and your dates will show correctly.

You need to write apple and have them pay you...I had the same issue, called AT&T support, they didn't know what to do; transferred to Apple iPhone support, they didn't know, hung up on me and didn't bother to call back...sad pisspoor cust service. I digressed, lol, so...yeah, they didn't correct the issue. I had restored my phone TWICE in one day trying to fix that! Thanks; your info helped a lot my dude! But the next question is...how did it get changed? My date and time has always been set to automatic...

Yes, I had the same problem. Rung apple support in December and they thought I was insane. Logged a fault and never had call returned even though I paid extra for AppleCare on iPad 1.

Just restored iPad 1 settings to iPad 2 and same calendar problem - 2554 BE.... Not sure how it got like that but all is good with the fix above.

I'm curious - are there any events scheduled 😉

Seriously, is the calendar synced with some other calendar on your computer or cloud? Or is it completely independent of other sources?
