Startup screen shows ghost time and date

My iPhone 3Gs recently started showing a shadow time and date behind the actual time and date on the startup (unlock) screen. The narrow bar at the top also shows shadow settings that aren't the actual ones I'm using. I have downloaded the latest operating system, removed the sim card, and reset the settings but the shadows still remain. When I unlock the screen the shadow goes away. This started when I took the iPhone to Europe. Is there any way to get rid of these shadows?

You may have taken a screenshot of the locked screen and assigned that to your wallpaper. Try changing your wallpaper.

    In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
    As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
    There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

  • I'm in the activation process for setting time and date but been stuck in that screen for a while please help

    just installed my Apple TV and it's been in the activation screen to set time and date for a while .
    not sure what the issue is

    It's not properly connected to the network
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try Ethernet
    Check that router has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

  • Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

    SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
    Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
    BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
    PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
    I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

    Hi SIZ4SK:
    Welcome to discussions!
    You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
    What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:
    DVFileDateCM

    Let me know if this helps or not.

  • How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

    Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

  • Can I display both time and date on iPhone 4s home screen?

    The time and date is diplayed when I 'slide to open' but can I have the day / date and time displayed when the screen shows all the apps? Currently it just shows the time at the very top and considering I'm this is my first iPhone, I've become used to having the date and time constnatly displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A pity it can't be displayed elsewhere.
    Thanks for your prompt help.

  • I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

    So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

    Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
    I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

  • My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time  and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed.  My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

    My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed...  to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time.  The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time.  The phone can not find my time zone any more.   The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time.  What is  happening? Ideas?

    just sorted mine went to
    settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
    then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
    this did sort mine

  • Can't get past the time and date intial set up screen can anyone please help?

    We purchased Apple TV last night, hooked everything up according to the directions, until we get to the Setting Time and Date Screen, which Apple TV- for more than 12 hours now, has been trying to establish.  We've set the time zone both manually and automatically, I have emailed and tweeted Apple Support but no help so far, this is my last plea before I return it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • How to show two different plots with current system time and date on waveform chart

    I am using  one waveform chart to display the more than one value continiously. The data  are comming properly but i am not getting my system (pc) time and date on x axis. It is showing default date and time (i.e.01/01/1904 5:30:45). Please  give me suggestions to display the real time and date on x axis of waveform chart. 

    How does your data look like? Do you graph waveform data types, dynamic data, or plain arrays/clustes? In the case of plain arrays, you need to set x0 to the absolute start time of your data, e.g. with a property node.
    I you would attach your code (or an image) we could offer more specific advice. There are too many possibilities.

    I can't find the answer on Google. What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    This font. It's weird, it looks different when viewing the screenshot on my iMac, than it does on my iPod touch. Probably because of the retina screen of the iPod.
