How can I change the time from military time to 12 hour intervals on my Android phone?

Community Answer

Look in Clock Settings. There should be a setting that says "24 hour time," which is military. Then switch it to the opposite setting.

How do I get back the deleted time and date from my home screen on my Android phone?

Community Answer

Try restarting your phone. If that does not work, you only pressed the remove from home button. Look on the other screen scroll right from your home screen and see if it is there.
