HTC TF3D Calendar not showing appointments?

[jmart518]

Hey guys,

Having a weird problem with the TF3D calendar not showing any appointments. If I go to the wm calendar, all the appointments are there. Hopefully somebody has seen or heard of this, if not, a hard reset may be in order.

Thanks for the help!

Mods can delete!

I knew as soon as I posted a help thread I would figure it out!

The problem was:
I changed the date display in the reg for a better look in the messaging and the lock screen. Didn't relate it to the problem with the calendar! oops! LOL!

This is the key that I had edited, just in case anybody else has the same problem:
HKLM/nls/overrides/SSDte

I've asked this before but, how do you know what such a string does? When I look at keys they just look like arcane code to me. I've written code in my life so I know that you just can't "make up" some text and have the registry interpret it... there are rules. Where do you get this information? Thanks in advance for any clue you can give me.

This particular key edits overrides for date and time. Basically, when you change your time or other settings under regional settings, this is where it gets written. ex: changing your clock from 12 hr to 24 hr will change the string value of "STFmt to HH:mm:ss".

The key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\nls\overrides\SSDte" is strictly for the date.
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010"
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010
SSDte: d MMMM yyyy" will equal 1 January 2010
"SSDte: d MMM yyyy" will equal 1 Jan 2010
"SSDte: d MM yyyy" will equal 1 01 2010
Ect...

You can just use trial and error to figure out what windows likes and doesn't like. If you input something that doesn't make sense, it will just display it as you typed it. Remember, this will change all the windows date display settings and not the TF3D (except the calendar bug).

I hope this made sense and helped out some!

Yes, it makes a lot of sense and thank you for the primer. I didn't realize that most of it was trial and error. I just thought that there was something written somewhere to explain what the keys mean and their possible values might be. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help! Just be careful with trial and error, it may end end with a hard reset. Then again, what's wrong with a hard reset! lol!
