Stupid Strive Question
Hi,
I just got my Strive yesterday. So far I have one question (I'm sure I'll have more). My question is... In the calendar, how do you get the am to pm? Thanks for any help you can give me!

Well, that was easy! I called tech support and all you have to do is highlight am and push the right navigational button button to get to pm. The weird thing is that I had tried that and it hadn't worked before. But now it works, so I guess I won't complain. Thanks all!

From the owner's manual:
It's gotta be in one of these sections.

To configure the starting day and view used when opening the
Calendar application.
1. In Idle mode, select Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Applications
Settings ➔ Calendar Settings.
2. Press either of the following fields and edit the information:
• Starting Day: allows you choose which day marks the first day in
your calendar week (Sunday or Monday).
• Default View Mode: allows you to choose the default view for
appointments used by the Calendar application when launched
(Month, Week, or Day).
3. Press Save.
From another section:
Creating a New Event
1. Press Menu ➔ My Stuff ➔ Tools ➔ Calendar.
2. Press Options ➔ Create and press the Right Navigation key.
3. Select one of the following event types and press the
key:

Thanks for responding! I tried both of those and neither of them worked. I tried pressing the navigational buttons around the AT&T button and that didn't work either. You can highlight am, so there's got to be some way to change it to pm. I'm going to take a nap, then I will keep searching for a solution too.

Naps are always a good thing..
Edit:
I found a very nice FAQ that you should download and save to your computer for a reference.
Also, I was wondering if checking and resetting your time zone might have an affect on setting am/pm on your strive...Probably not, but it was something that sprung up in my head.
Is it reading am/pm when you open the calendar or when you select an event?
Maybe a factory reset is needed to put it back in place. I'd remove my sim card before resetting it though.
How Do I Reset My SGH-A687 (Strive) Phone?
To reset the handset, to the factory default settings, follow the steps below:

aye ghost, you and your hard reset advice...
try highlighting the am/pm, and toggling it with a button on the keyboard.

I did try resetting all my time zone info. That didn't help. Not sure I am comfortable doing a factory reset. I think I will call tech support tomorrow and see what they have to say. Thanks everyone for your responses!

a hard reset wouldnt do anything for the op if she isnt using the correct button to toggle am/pm to begin with. recommending a hard reset for everyone for every problem that arises is like telling someone to buy a new car because they cant figure out how to work their cruise control.

Good point. I'll stop advising that avenue.
