applications confused by switching time format from 24hours to 12h and back!

Hello, i accidentally switched my phone time format from 24h to 12h (am/pm) and now when I switched it back I noticed the phone time got wrong - 12 hours off. I had to manually set it to something like 23 because it thought it is 11. Now the time is right, but the apps are totally confused and they think it is night when it is day and the other way around! It really **bleep** when you need to quickly know if a bus is coming or not using some app for it.

I tried reinstalling one app but still it thinks it is 12hours less (or more) then it actually is.

It is crazy because clock widgets think it is 14:26 but the weather widget thinks it is 2:26! What can I do with it?

You could try to restart your device.

Of course I tried restarting he phone even twice. No change 😕

Notice the right time in right top corner, but the app thinks a bus is coming in 11 minutes at 2:45!
Then notice the clock widgets being right but the weather widget 12hours wrong.

Very strange,you should try to do the switch again,maybe it will fix the issue.

OH so I just got to time and date settings and checked "automatic date and time from mobile network" and It switched to 3:12, but it should be 15:14 ... 24hours format is enabled.

Is my operator 12 hours back now? :-] Will try restarting the phone...or maybe if I wait it may change yet

I do not know,this kind of problem is rare (don't remember when saw it last time). You could contact your carrier.

So it seems I fixed!

Don't know how, but my time zone was wrong! LOL It was UTC-11hours. So I set it to UTC+1 and it is right now. Why the apps showed such different times I don't know :-]
