No it takes 3 days for a teen to change into an adult. 1 for a toddler to turn into a teen. Did you reset it when you first pulled the tab? The reason why the instruction say to puch the reset after activating it is because it sits so long then all of a suddon when you pull that tab the battery hits the connectors, and it may not be used to be working/ not have been ready. All glitches if any will happen is cause you didnt press reset when first activating it..... sometimes you can go when activating it up without pressing reset cause its fairly new and hasnt been to long since it had been tested and packaged. The ones that sit around the store for ages or stay in stock then put out later, are the ones more susectical to this. Just try a simple reset/ download. If that doesnt correct it reset/reset and that should fix it.
