Hmm... this must be a unix time stamp encoded somehow, but instead of
figuring it out and coming up with weird maths to convert it I think
it's easier to create a tool to dump things with QSettings directly:

QSettings s("/path/to/file", QSettings::IniFormat);
qDebug() << s.value("created").toDateTime().toString();

You can pass the wanted output format as parameter to toString() [1]

Here's a little tool for it:

https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/+junk/infodump

you should be able to compile it with the Ubuntu SDK as any other app.
It won't deploy as it is just a command line tool but you can copy the
binary from the build directory to your phone and run it manually - or
if you have a build-chroot on your phone you can compile it there using

qmake infodump.pro && make

Or, if you trust me, use the armhf binary from here [2]
