what is the date on your calendar app icon on the home screen?

[dlcpa]

Mine says 28 and I just thought that was a picture but on my LG v40 it's got the actual number of the day for example today would be 23 and that's what my calendar app icon says on my LG v40 which I only use now for listening to books. So I went through Samsung and tried to have them help me and they had no idea what to do and they wanted to do some kind of reset and I said no way. Because he said I will lose all my custom items but not my data and I wasn't going to take that chance. So I looked on the Samsung store and sure enough is a picture of the calendar app with the number 28 on it and I'm wondering what number you all have on your icon for the calendar app? The picture is from the LG v40.

Hello? Is anyone out there? Is there any response to this? Do any of you have this app and icon that says 28 and does not update by day?

Is there a way to search the titles in the S21 section so that I could see if something I'm asking about was already asked and answered?

I don't necessarily have the exact same phone or Android version, but my Galaxy A32 5G shows the correct date in the Samsung Calendar icon. You're not using a 3rd party launcher, right?

S21 5G and mine displays the current date too. I actually never noticed this

I use Google calendar and date is correct for today.

I use the native calendar app on my S21U...date shown is always current

I use Google as well but its always on 31.... Is there something i need to do in settings?

I didn't do anything. Just installed and the date was correct. I had a quick look in settings but can't see anything.

Edit: what launcher do you use? It seems this might play a part. I use nova which allows the icon to show the correct date.

Are you using a custom icon pack? If so, make sure that it allows dynamic icons.

No custom icon pack

Stock launcher, what ever came with the S21+

No custom icon pack

Remove the Calendar icon from the home screen and add it back. Long shot but it could do the trick. Also, see if it displays the correct date in the app drawer.

Did just that and still nothing. This is the Google calendar we talking about. The samsung calendar shows the correct date.

I think your screenshot didn't post.

Didn't do a screen shot. I checked the app draw to see if the samsung one showed the date.

 

[chimpboy74]

Can you try using nova launcher to see if it makes a difference? I don't know about the stock launcher (I installed nova on the day I set my phone up) so it may not support the dynamic icon.

The Google Calendar icon does not show the correct date with the stock Samsung Launcher. It defaults to 31.
You would need to install other launcher that supports this.

Thanks for the clarification.
