Problem with Alarm - Setting 24h mode

I have a problem with the alarm setting.
Although I activated the 24h mode in the general settings all PM alarms are shown in the 24h mode.
Does somebody have the same issue or an idea to solve it?

If you activated 24 hour mode. It will show alarms in 24 hour mode.
What's missing here?

Hi @G_B, welcome to our forum!

As @Viridis mentioned, if you set the phone to show 24-hour format all alarms will be shown in the same format.

If you for example set an alarm while the phone is in 12-hour mode (AM/PM) in the clock application to ring at 2.00 PM and you then switch back to 24-hour format the alarm time will change to 14.00.

You can not have 24-hour format enabled in the phone and have alarms shown as AM and PM.

Let us know if we misunderstood your question!

I made auf typo in the post. All PM alarms are shown in the 12h mode.

Correct: if 12h mode, it shows 2pm; if 24h mode it shows 2 not 14 (after being saved, in all alarms screen; when setting it up it shows 14). On home screen and lock screen it shows correctly.

Hello again and thanks for the swift reply!

Now I understand what you mean and I was able to replicate this behaviour on an Xperia XA.

The alarm times are indeed shown in 12-hour format in the application even when the phone is set to 24-hour format.

I'm very thankful to both of you for raising this question and I will make sure to forward this internally as user feedback.

I wish you both a great day! Slightly_smiling_Face
