Can someone please help me? My lock screen shows the same thing, and even my notification bar shows the same thing. Please, much help appreciated :)
 
Is this a Chinese phone and it's the stock clock widgets it comes with? Because sometimes they can be a bit funky like this. What phone actually is it, make, model and Android version?
 
That clock icon in your notification bar means Sleep as Android is on. I just installed the trial and was able to get one in my bar too. I'm guessing the full version which came with your phone is doing the home screen thing.

To get rid of the icon in the Notification bar turn off the alarm in the Sleep app.

I only have a trial version on, but I'll try.
 
Are they definitely part of the clock? If you long press the clock widget and drag it about, do they follow it?

What happens if you long press them directly?
 
Did you try to uninstall launcher you are using? Remove the widget. Try another launcher. Switch on and off. Take off battery for few seconds, put it back on again. Try it.
 
We're on the right track though funkyspyspy. You got rid of the status bar/home screen icon an one line of text. We just need to figure out what those numbers mean.
I'm thinking that the numbers aren't parsing through properly.
The first number tells me the day(1 being Sunday, 2 being Monday etc...), the next number is the month, the following one tells the day. But I don't know why it's not parsing through correctly
 
I don't understand what you mean by launcher
What is Android Launcher?
Launcher is the name given to the part of the Android user interface that lets users customize the home screen (e.g. the phone's desktop), launch mobile apps, make phone calls, and perform other tasks onAndroid devices (devices that use the Android mobile operating system).
