Cannot change Date/Time

[Guest gez200]

Several times recently, my smartphone (HTC Hurricane) has frozen, therefore had to be reset, and as a concequence time needs to be reset everytime from sometime Aug.05. This usually doesn't cause much hassle, but now my phone has decided not to let me change the time back to the present, displaying:

Error: The settings could not be opened

...every time I enter the Date/Time setting.

Of course, It is possible for me to change it by syncing with a PC, but it creates hassle every time I am not near one, for example, I cannot view text messages I have sent as they are waaay back in the past on the descending list. :D

And I don't want to go through the hassle of a hard reset... any ideas? :D

Try changing the Time Format . Its under Regional Settings. Change to the slash format instead of the point format. Check this thread.

Aaaah that's great thanks - I was hoping that it wasn't too large a job to fix. I remember changing that setting some time before now, for no apparent reason... :D

I had almost forgotten about this bug, I remember reporting this years ago. Never checked if this was fixed in WM5.
