Help Android numbers instead of day and month

[iajo1964]

Android 4.2.2 in Huawei P6 telephone.
Since installing a app my telephone now displays the day and month as numbers in all displays instead of in letters. Does anyone know how to change this back?
Monday is 2, tuesday is 3.. etc.
January is 1, february is 2.. etc.
Is very anoying

Since this changed when you installed an app (that you didn't give the name of) you can either uninstall the app or go into the app's Settings and see if something there can be changed to put things back as they were.

Deinstalled diverse apps. Did not help. May be bad code in one of the apps, or some kind of mini crash. Is there a deep code to change the day and month back to the way it was?

How dates are displayed is determined by a combination of the system preferences (Settings > Date and Time and look for an option to specify the date format) and the preferences of the app that's doing the display (which may use or override the system preference). In this case the app seems to be your homescreen clock widget.

I'd check the system Settings first, then the settings of your default clock app.

Not the preference in the app. As the day and month is displaying incorrect in every app that displays month and day. Looks like a systems setting which has now been changed. Unfortunately I cannot find a location to change it back. You can change the display order but not the configuration of a day for a number.

So it sounds like the system defaults have been changed, and the apps are set to use the default or don't have another option.

Funny thing is that I have the options to specify text or number as well as the order in Settings > Date & Time > Choose date format. Different phone of course, but it seems odd that you don't have that setting yet somehow something has changed it.

Which app did you install that changed this setting? Just wondering whether it has an option in its settings to set it back.

The two apps I installed / were updated at the time the system changes took place were
1. SubLoader
and
2. Zero Launcher.
The first is a subtitle downloader, so i do not expect that this would change a system setting.
The second is a launcher and the changes it mentions that the posibiliy of choosing between farenheit and celcius is toegevoegd. Perhaps this has also carried out the system change.. :-(

This is my only choice for date format in my telephone:-

I'd have thought that a launcher's settings would only affect how the launcher itself presented data. I just tried installing "subloader", and that by itself did not change my phone's settings (I don't watch videos on my phone so wasn't able to test whether using the app changed anything).
