Why does the Android calendar icon always show "31" and not display the actual date? Serious question. Seems so basic and obvious. I see so many Android home screens which always show the 31 and that would drive me nuts.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe because the actual date is on your lockscreen as well as your home screen?
Well, I don't use the stock weather app (I hide it in a folder somewhere) and yeah the clock doesn't bother me because the time is in the task bar. But I see your point.
In ios there is no date on my home screen aside from the calendar app icon. I don't have Android yet.
If it really bugs people....

Hmmm - I want them to make the clock iOS icon animated.
More of a typing mistake than anything.

I honestly do not like widgets. They take up too much screen space. It would be much better if Android had a live calendar app like iOS does and also supported app badges as well. Not everyone likes widgets, believe it or not.

If there is an update for something, it's in the notification tray with an icon at the top, no need to search through all apps to see which ones have a number on them
the time/date is on the lock screen, also in the notification area, no need for calendar app to show it on the icon
I know that. It is really the one thing that I wish Apple would incorporate into iOS.
I hate the stock calendar for android. I have been using business cal and think it is a lot cleaner. Especially when you have a lot of events for 1 day.

Awesome.
Yes, the widget is clearly half the size in the post above.

Atleast english is not my native language
anyway i blame the damm iphone keyboard.It's likely they've been threatened with a $500 million law suit if the date on that icon is current each day

LOL, with Apple's history it crossed my mind.
