1.1.2 PROBLEM: no PhoneFormat with UK Region Format

Hi,

When i select UK in region Format, PhoneFormat is not working at all.

When i select any other region, it's works fine from
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIPhoneFormats.plist

I tried everything. Please help why it's not loading if i select UK?

This is very odd indeed. As you state, the other formats work. Guess you need to wait for a UK 1.1.2. iPhone owner to confirm what's happening before determining whether you need to restore or not.

I even can't change 12h format to 24h format, when i select USA format.
Now this option gray. :(

I need Monday to be the 1st day of week and 24h time system.
Somebody know how to fix?

This is a bug. It existed in 1.1.1, and still isn't fixed in 1.1.2.

Thanks to Bagpuss!!

I've finally found the solution to this.

In all my testing, setting the international settings to UK did not result in the phone using the 'uk' section of the UIPhoneFormats.plist file.

Upon further investigation, I have found that the locale being used is stored in the file '/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist'.

When you set 'United Kingdom' as your locale in the international preference pane, the key that's written into this file is actually en_GB, and not en_UK.

If you change your UIPhoneFormats.plist file to use 'gb' as the key, and not 'uk', then everything starts to work as it should.

An example entry for 'gb' is as follows:

<key>gb</key>
<array>
<string>01#1 ### ####</string>
<string>011# ### ####</string>
<string>01### ### ###</string>
<string>02# #### ####</string>
<string>03# #### ####</string>
<string>0500 ### ###</string>
<string>05# #### ####</string>
<string>07### ### ###</string>
<string>08## ### ####</string>
<string>+44 1#1 ### ####</string>
<string>+44 11# ### ####</string>
<string>+44 1### ### ###</string>
<string>+44 2# #### ####</string>
<string>+44 3# #### ####</string>
<string>+44 500 ### ###</string>
<string>+44 5# #### ####</string>
<string>+44 7### ### ###</string>
<string>+1 (###) ###-####</string>
<string>001 (###) ###-####</string>
<string>00 $</string>
</array>

This simply appears to be an oversight on Apples part when introducting the international settings. One would hope that this is fixed in the 1.1.2 firmware that o2 are shipping.

Hope this helps,
