Calendar crashes - Monday as 1st day of the week

I have an ipad1, running iOS 5.1.1. It's sync to iCloud. I deleted entries to Sept 1. It was stuck on month view of September. I couldn't change it to another month or view.
I soft reset. no change.
I hard reset. no change.
I factory reset and restored iPad with Itunes and restored old settings. no change.
I factory reset iPad with iTunes as new ipad. Calendar was behaving.
I went into settings and personalised it.
It's is now September. when I click on September month view Calendar crashes. Other views are ok. Month view of other months is ok.
Then I realised that to have a the month view starting on Monday as the first day, I have the general>international>region format set as UK (I'm in Australia). When I set it back to Australia, then Calendar doesn't crash.
So the factory reset served to reset the region to my local region.
The work around for Apple changing the Calendar start day to Sunday was to change the region to one where the start day was Monday. It had been working fine until recently. I'm not sure when the crashing started happening, perhaps on the last iOS update.
So, it may have been that a mismatch in local region to region designated on the settings that crashes the Calendar. It may be that selecting UK crashes the Calendar.
Now, Calendar crash problem solved. This might help someone else with the same problem.
Calendar format starting on unpreferred day reintroduced.
I would like to see my month view start the day as Monday, not Sunday. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks .
I've managed to fix it:
Go to Settings / Mail Contacts and Calendars / Start the week on
Change from Sunday to Monday.
It appears people in Brazil are the only ones affected.
It's a good work-around while apple does not fix this bug.

Oracle returning incorrect day of the week

Hi there,
I have a table named Performance, which includes a date field named PDATE, some other attributes such as title, etc, and a field named WEEKDAY, which includes the numerical value for the day of the week. Here is an example:
PER#
P#
THEATRE#
WEEKDAY
PDATE
PHOUR

I went to verify the day of the week in a calendar (in fact I checked more than one) and I noticed that the Weekday value seems incorrect. For instance, the 2nd of March was a Tuesday so I would expect WEEKDAY to say 3 (considering Sunday to be the 1st day of the week, which is the universal norm), or perhaps 2 (considering Monday to be the 1st day of the week).
First thing that came to mind is, since the WEEKDAY is a number field which has been pre-populated, the person who populated it made a mistake.
So I went to verify this by running a query that would give me the correct day of the week by extracting it from the PDATE field:
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM ops$yyang00.Performance
ORDER BY pdate
And to my astonishment, I got the following table as a return:
PDATE
YEAR
WEEKDAYCALC
WEEKDAY

As you can see, all of the above WEEKDAYCALC values are incorrect, and seem to match the incorrect values in WEEKDAY.
I could perhaps understand some weird WEEKDAY numbering if there is some general database setting where I could specify any day of the week to be the first day. However, I can't think of any logical explanation on why Oracle would call a Tuesday Sunday.
Could someone please advise what I mght be doing wrong? This is driving me insane!
Thank you in advance for all the help and support.

P.

Based on your explanations, I changed the formula so the date format would be processed as YY rather than YYY.
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM Performance
ORDER BY pdate

The interesting bit here, is the original WEEKDAY field, which clearly has been created with the same mistake I did (this whole table wasn't created by me). I reckon I spotted a design bug.

No; you're still calling TO_DATE on something that is already a DATE, and you're still using an implicit conversion (only now you're using a format such that the current NLS settings don't cause you to get punished. If your DBA changes the NLS settings next week, then you will have similar errors again.)
If you want to see what day of the week pdate is, then use:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY')
or, to make it NLS-independent:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH')
This is simpler than what you posted, it's more efficient and easier to debug and to maintain, and it also gets the results you want in all cases.
One more time: TO_DATE, as the name hints, converts something (a VARCHAR2, to be precise) TO a DATE. If pdate is already a DATE, then what do you need to convert? You're implicitly converting a DATE to a VARCHAR2, then explicitly converting that VARCHAR2 back to a DATE, and then calling TO_CHAR. That's 3 function calls (1 of them error prone) where only 1 is needed.
Also if you ever have to reconcile 2-digit years with 4-digit years (and, again, in this problem you don't) the correct way is to convert the 2-digit year to a 4-digit year, not vice-versa.
Calling Tuesday the 1st day of the week could make sense in a particular application.

Changing the first day-of-the-week on the MyTimesheets app

IN the SAP ECC and Portal implementations of the timesheet app, we were recently able to change the display so the first day of the week is listed as Monday, rather than Sunday. I would like to do the same thing with Fiori.
That is, when the app starts up the first view a calendar view of the whole month. If a person wants to enter time manually, they click the button labeled "manual" and a data entry screen pops up. The first day of the week listed across the top is Sunday, which does not reflect our settings in ECC. We need the 1st day of the week to be Monday.
Is there a configuration change we can make to force the 1st day of the week to be Monday, as it is in ECC?
thanks for your help!
-Rob Solomon

Hi Rob,
Are you using Wave2 app? You could change the setting for first day of the week in CAC1 and Fiori Timesheet app will adjust te calendar accordingly.
Nothing needs to be done for Fiori app.
Please update UIX01HCM to SP03 if you are using Wave2 app?

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.

Want to make Monday as the first day of the week in GregorianCalendar. how?

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is. for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1); //set date to 1st Nov 2004
2. int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts from Sunday, so Monday is the 2nd day.
But I am in Uk and my Uk Calendar shows monday as the first day (even in Windows 2000 Calendar).
I would like the GregorianCalendar to have Monday as the first day of the week, so that the
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
returns 1 in the above case.
I also tried adding
calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY); just between line 1 and line 2, but it did not help.
This is because i don't want to manually subtract 1. If i manually subtract one, then the program might not work in other locale and timezones.
Also if I subtract 1, then for 1 Feb 2004,
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
will return 1 as 1st Feb 2004 falls on Sunday. so if i subtract 1 it will be 0, so I have to do a extra checking for 0.
Is there anyway to make the Calendar have Monday as the first day of the week??

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is.Why does this matter? Since we know that 1 == Sunday and 2 == Monday... Why do you need Monday to be == 1? and couldn't you just subtract 1 if it's so important?
for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of
Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new
GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1); //set date to 1st Nov

Issue with Gregorian Calendar and setting Day of the week

Hi
This may have a simple solution, but its currently got me stumped. Basically, after some calculation I determine the date that a particular event should occur on. These events are listed in a JTable where the column headers are the dates of the beginning of the weeks. In order to place my calculated event in the correct column I create a Gregorian Calendar, set it to the date of the event and then set the day of the week to the beginning of the week. Normally this works fine but for a few instances, rather than getting the date at the beginning of the week, I get the date thats the beginning of the next week.
As a quick example, to kind of illustrate my problem:
I determine that the date of the event is 27/06/2006 which is a Tuesday.
I want this event to appear in the column headed 25/06/2006, the date of the beginning of the week.
In fact it appears in the column headed the 02/07/2006 which is the beginning date of the following week.
Is there anyway to get it so when I set the day to the first day of the week it goes to the beginning of the current week rather than the beginning of the next week?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I'm currently struggling to think of any.
Thanks

Hi, I dont say Monday is the begining of the week. At least I dont think I do.
As for code I'll post the conversion bit which is:
for (int i = 0; i < areaNameSelectionTable.getRowCount(); i++) {
GregorianCalendar conversionCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
conversionCalendar.setTime((java.util.Date) prioritiesTable.getValueAt(i, 10));
conversionCalendar.set(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, GregorianCalendar.SUNDAY);
}//end for loopI then create a string from the GregorianCalendar in the format DD/MM/YYYY and compare that with the headers of my table columns (Also dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY) When they match thats the column this particular event should appear in. I can post this code if necessary, but I dont know if its relevant.
Thanks

Wrong starting day of the week printing calendar in month view

I'm trying to print a month view calendar with the weeks starting from Monday.
In "Preferences" -> "General tab" ->"Start week on:" I've set Monday, and it is properly viewed in Calendar, but when I try to print it in the preview I see Tuesday as first day of the week.
This happens on many MacBook that I've tried, all with Yosemite and Italian regional settings.
The only way to resolve this issue is to open "System Preferences" ->"Language & Region" and change the "First day of the week:" on Sunday in all my "Preferred Languages" (both Italian and English), to have the printing preview of a calendar starting on Monday!
Is there an other way?
Is this a bug that should be submitted to Apple to get a "patch" on future releases of Mac OS X?
I know, it is a tiny issue, but annoying.

Changing the calendar settings: Sunday as the first day of the week

Dear Masters of SAP universe,
In ECC6.0, I am using a LIS info-structure with the period split set to week.
I would like to know how can I change the calendar settings in order to consider Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of Monday.
For example:
A sales order created on Dec 12th creates the record 201049 in the info structure S900 - SPWOC.
I would like to have it as 201050, where 50 is the currently week in the system.
I already checked OSS notes and the transaction SCAL for customizing. But I did not find a solution this issue.
Your help is highly appreciated!

hi,
this seems to be a calendar issue.
please check for OSS also - 1158474.

United Kingdom Regional Format sets Monday as the first day of the week.

With the Region Settings (Settings -> General -> International -> Region Format) set to United Kingdom, Calendar displays Monday as the first day of the week. I have seen other posts whereby it was suggested to change to US Internationalization but this will also change the date and telephone number formats to US settings, far more frustrating.
Have I been sheltered from properly formatted calendars all my life or is this a mistake and it should start the week on Sunday. It is consistent in both the Week and Month view.
Am I crazy or does anyone else agree with is?

Same here. One of the first things I do in this sort of application is switch week start to Mondays.

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)
Might be helpful.

How do I change the first day of the week in calendar?

I recently updated to ios 5.
unfortunately, this made sunday day one of the week in calendar, not Monday which is my preference (and the convention in Australia).
I was able to change it to Monday by changing international settings to UK, but this changed other settings such as uk version of google as default search engine, which I would prefer to avoid.
Is there a way to make Monday the first day of the week in calendar AND keep my other international settings as Australia?
Many thanks for suggestions.
Chris.

I don't think you can. Your best bet is to send Apple feedback and ask for that functionality.

Change first day of the week in Calendar?

When I updated my iPhone to 3.0, my default Calendar app switched the first day of the week (in month view mode) from Sunday to Monday. Any idea how I can change this back?
-Gerald

What application does your iPhone calendar sync with on your computer? I have had all three versions of the iPhone and can't remember any of them showing Monday as the first day of the week in "Month" view. Of course that doesn't mean anything... can you post a picture showing Monday as the first day of the week?

First day of the week in calendar

In the UK (as in many countries) the week starts on Sunday and calendars normally reflect this. With iPhone the week starts on Monday (in UK) but in Ireland it starts on Sunday. I really can't use a calendar showing Monday as the first day of the week (it's too confusing when compared to printed calendars and iCal on the computer). If I set iPhone calendar to Ireland that's fine for a while but soon it reverts to UK and Monday. Is it possible to make this calendar show the correct day all the time?

Yes, it's possible, by changing Settings > General > International > Region Format to something other than the UK. Setting it to the United States will give you a week starting on Sunday. But, that setting also controls the way dates and phone numbers are displayed, so those are affected as well. But, maybe that's already how you already "set iPhone calendar to Ireland," in which case, I'm not sure why it's reverting back, unless it's resulting from when you sync the phone to your computer.

Weekdays option in alarm does not correspond to first day of the week option in calendar

I am based in Oman where the week is Saturday to Thursday and Friday is weekly off instead of Sunday. Inspite of changing first day of the week to saturday in calendar option and choosing weekdays option in Alarm, it rings on Fridays and does not ring on Sundays. Its very upsetting. Can anyone suggest a solution for this?? Thanks in advance.

i just did this on my Blackberry curve 8330 to make sure my answer was correct, and what i was able to do was.
Go to your calender, select the first day you would like it to start i i will start monday for example, Recurrence set to weekly. when selecting weekly another option will appear below it ( S M T W T F S ) highlight and select a letter that marks the day Saturday , Monday , Tuesday Ect. and the letting will become BOLD meaning it is selected. Thus giving you the option to select any , and as many days per week you wish, and have the recurrence as often as you want

After iOS 5 upgrade, my calendar starts on the wrong day of the week

I've upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. My region is still selected as Australia, but Sunday is showing up as the first day of the week now.
I have not yet upgraded my iPad. It shows Australia as the region format and is correctly displaying Monday as the first day of the week.
So it appears that the iOS 5 update changes some details of the Australia region format. Does anyone know of a way to manually select the first day of the week? Thanks.

I can confirm that the start day of the week is determined by the Region Format setting (insanely). My girlfriend is still on iOS 4.3.5 and has a Region Format of Australia, and has the week starting on Monday. Apple must have changed it to Sunday in iOS 5.
The best workaround country I've found so far is Namibia!
Tap on Settings > General > International. change Region Format to Namibia.
Different regions affect different things. If you choose UK, you get the week starting on Monday, but the clock changes to 24 hr and the phone numbers format the UK way.
The only downside of Namibia so far is that you no longer get ".au" as an option if you're typing a web address and you hold down the ".com" button on the keyboard.
Apple needs to add a "First Day of Week" option in the Calender preferences, like they have in the iCloud Calendar preferences and iCal preferences (which are both ignored on the iPhone and iPad!).
Even Americans are complaining about this. It must be the easiest fix in the world, yet they still haven't done it.
