Calendar app - date always 31

I installed an app called DAY WIDGET! It gives you a widget to put on your start page that displays the correct date. Click the widget and it brings up the calendar app! Problem solved. Do not copy the app to the start page, copy the widget to the start page!
 
Same on my Note 5 with MM
Damn my BlackBerry Priv and older BB10 phones had the correct date, im thinking Samsung code writers are just POS and jack wads
 
Would like to have the right day of the month not the 31 all the time how do i fix it

5 years later I noticed this because I now need 2 calendar apps.
One for work, one for personal, so I googled my annoyance and found this thread.

I'm going to make an educated guess since I work in the mobile industry and have an iPhone, that date, time and location capacities are hard coded into my device OS.

For any Android device (not owned by Google) the calendar app is a service, in order to display the proper date (wherever I am in the worrld) it would constantly have location services allowed, and ping towers constantly and have locatio settings on at all times, requiring an enourmous amount of battery life and data usage creating a much heavier and cumbersone app than intended, all for a dynamic display icon.

Thoughts?

FYI I posted this at 8:01 in my timezone and this website says it's 7:01 PM

Actually no. It's just a function of the launcher/app. Some devs make dynamic icons, some don't.
 
Now I keep two calendar apps: the iphone one just so I can see the date, and the google one which has all my schedules.
