My setting in the phone for date format is DD/MM/YYYY

date format shown now in dvd profiler on the phone is:

Purchased - March 12, 2008
released 3/29/04
last watched 6/28/12

I have a samsung galaxy S2 and version 4.1 of android.

I have the latest build of the app (downloaded a few days ago). The previous version was fine and I haven't made any changes on the phone (as far as I know).

I'm bumping this since it's still an error for me.

And if the automatic date format doesn't always work then this changes to a change request to allow a selection within dvd profiler android program of the data format to use

I'm not sure if you were trying to be sarcastic but since this is a different issue from where I raised it iin error it belongs as a separate topic.

And since Ken seems to have forgotten it I'll need to keep raising it since its a considerable annoyance

If Ken confirms that the application totally ignores the phone date settings (which it does with my phone - I know because I've tried three different date formats on the phone and this app ignores all the changes and just uses US format) then i'll be raising it as a new topic in the Android Feature requests.

(Which will make it three different topics. )

Your annoyance about his annoyance regarding something annoying sounds much more like a plan.....

bump.

A simple acknowledgement that this is a known issue (us dates on UK locality phone) and I would wait patiently - but they haven't responded to the issue at all.

This is an issue that only arose after the first version.

Let me have a guess:
DVDP/W is running on a Win7 installation and this Win7 installation is a pre-installed OEM.

If so, check what happens if you:
1) set your Windows installation temporarily to USA (Start -> Control -> Locality and Region settings)
2) Restart Windows
3) Set locality back to UK
4) Restart Windows
5) Update your collection on your Android-device
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I'll try this when I get home - but it wouldn't explain why the app was showing perfectly good UK dates when it first came out and only changed when I upgraded to the most recent version of the app.

Can confirm I am seeing this as well on my Andriod phone which is not the same as you have. Hopefully this can be fixed in a future update.

I am located in Australia. We follow the same European/UK date format dd.mm.yyyy - I have a Sammy Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2 My DVDP app complements the same date formats as my Windows Vista and the DVDP for Windows sw. I would presume you have checked your settings across the board. Cheers
