Brazilian Calendar Problem - week should start on Sunday

If a user selects Brazil/Portuguese as the international settings on the iPhone, everything works fine except the calendar.
Here in Brazil, the first day of a week is allways on Sunday and not on Monday. (I can't imagine where Apple got this information...).
This allways confuses the user when checking the calendar and sometimes leads to mistakes.
Apple must fix this problem or - at least - offer the possibility of choosing the week start day for the calendar application.

Hi ANOVA,
Thanks for your response, but...
I had tried the workaround that you mentioned before posting this topic. Unfortunately, if regional settings configuration is changed from Brazil to United States, the first day of the week becomes Sunday, but the calendar language changes from Portuguese to English . This also affects other regional settings (like number simbology) to other standards that are not Brazilian.
So if you "fix" something, other things become defective.
The easy solution for this problem is to create an option that allows the user to select the first day of the week (Sunday or Monday) or to correct the Brazilian Calendar format (again: I can not imagine where Apple got this information...)
Regards,
Marcello.

How to change Calendar week to start on Sunday instead of Monday

In the month view in the Calendar app on my iPod Touch the week starts on Monday. I want to change it to start on Sunday. iCal on my computer and the calendar on my Mobile Me account are both set to start on Sunday. How do I change this on my iPod Touch?

I believe that this is based on your region format. Settings>General>International>Region Format
You're right; I just tried that. Unfortunately, changing the region format also changes the language, phone number format and time format. Oh well. I do wish Calendar could pick up the preference from iCal, though, that allows for this. :S

How to return the week number starting from Sunday as the first day

Hi Friends,
My application needs to have a report for the weekly totals and must have the Sunday as the first day for the week. For example, January of 2005 should be in the report for having six weeks, Jan 1 is Saturday, this is week 1, Week 2 is from 2 to 8, and the last week , week 6 has 30 and 31. Days need not be displayed, only the week number as follows:
Week Number Total Sales
=========== =========
Week 1 8,525
Week 2 8,168
Week 3
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
The discoverer hierarchies function for week (eul_date_trunc(item_date, '"W"W')) seems to start the week from the first day of the month regardless of the day. Oracle function TO_CHAR(item_date, 'W') does the same thing, .As the result, the January of 2005 has only 5 weeks.
Any help or advice for this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
J.K

Try this
---------------------------------------------actual formula---------------
select ceil(
( to_number(to_char(to_date('1-'||to_char(sysdate,'MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY'),'D')) -1
+ to_number(to_char(sysdate,'DD'))
) / 7
week_number
from dual
e.g try different dates below by replacing 31-Jan-2005
select ceil(
( to_number(to_char(to_date('1-'||to_char(to_date('31-JAN-2005'),'MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY'),'D') ) -1
+ to_number(to_char(to_date('31-JAN-2005'),'DD'))
) / 7
week_number
from dual
How does it work
week number is calculated by dividing the current day number by number of days
so in your case if the week starts at a different day , you just add the offset and divide by 7
In the first part, i am finding the week day number for the 1st day of the current month and this is used as offset.
Hope this helps

I am trying to find out if I can change a setting of the calendar in my iPhone. When I view calendar, in month, I would like to view it with the starting day of the week being Monday, not Sunday. Is it possible to make this change? SS

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

Since iCloud weeks only start on a Sunday in iPad, preferences on iMac allow week to start on any day. How can I change iPad week start to match iMac?

Hi,
Go to Settings>General>International, and make sure that you have the appropriate "Region Format," and "Calendar" settings.

What system and iPhoto version are you running? What theme are you using.
All of my calendars do have the month starting on Sunday, Don't know of any way to change it. Where are you located?
How do you have your Calendar application's preferences set to, Sunday or Monday start of week?

How to get week starting with sunday date

Hi
I have a date column "start_date", i need to create a report for all the weeks starting from sunday , for eg:
i need to get week dates as :
mm/dd/yy - 01/23/11 , 01/16/11 , 01/09/11 and so on...
Please help
Thanks...

Hi,
To find the last Sunday before or equal to start_date:
SELECT     TRUNC ( start_date + 1
           , 'IW'
           ) - 1          AS week_start_date
...You can use an expression like this in a GROUP BY clause, also.
This does not depend on you NLS settings. ISO weeks always start on Monday. Your week starts 1 day earlier, so that's why the expression above has the +1 and -1.
(Depending on you NLS settings,
SELECT     TRUNC ( start_date
           , 'D'
           )          AS week_start_date
...might do the same thing, but I still rocommend using 'IW'; a few extra keystrokes isn;t much to pay for a guarantee that it will always work.)
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.

Change Calendar Work Week

The IOS5 software has changed the work week to start on a Sunday in Calendar, I want it to run from Monday to Sunday (as it did with the previous software). How do I change the view to be Monday to Sunday?
Please HELP - driving me MAD!

This is one of those weird, nagging problems that Apple ignores even though the fix is so incredibly easy. Unless you change your international settings, you cannot choose the day you want to start the week. And it makes absolutely no sense because they include the option in both iCal and iCloud calendars
If this is essential to your week, then change the region to UK. This will screw everything else up though, including sending you to google.co.uk while searching in Safari and your phone numbers will be UK-style in Contacts.
Just with the good in Apple, there is also the bad. They will give us the option to start our work week when they are good and ready, not when we want it, which is now.
I want Monday to start my week. Unfortunately, even asking Apple for it through suggestions gets you nowhere unless you have a loud enough chorus. So here I say again... I WANT MY CALENDAR WEEK TO START ON MONDAY!!!!!

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore

Change first day of the week from Monday to Sunday(0CALWEEK)

Hello!
We have a report that display the data at a calendar week level. The start of the week currently show as Monday( retreived from FM - WEEK_GET_FIRST_DAY).
Is there a global setting in source system to change the start day of the week from Monday to Sunday? I can always make this change in the transformation but would like to know if there is a global option to make this change so the rest of the reports display the same.
Thanks
Sirisha

You can check this SAP Note 624627 - Sunday first day of the week also a working day (Collective)
