How to #4: Calendar Year Becomes 2554 BE, not 2011

What has been experienced:  Suddenly in a day when checking the calender, you may note that the month and date are all correct, but the year become "2554 BE".  Very stronger, we know now it is 2011, and what we learned about the records of year are only two types: AD or BC.

What you can do to fix: Select Settings, then General, then International, and set the Calendar ti "Gregorian"

Why: The BE year is used by some countries who believe in Buddhist. For them, year 2011 = 2554 BE.

  1. This problem bothered me for two days while I was attending a conference in Washington DC. I finally figured out the method to solve it. I post my experience here in case someone needs it.
