JS: Bug converting string to Date

I am converting a Data Object to JSON and back with JSON.stringify and JSON.parse.

This works great, on all devices but on Samsung Galaxy SII where for the line:

console.log(jsonObj.gebDat+"::"+new Date(jsonObj.gebDat));

I get the output:

1973-07-01T10:49:25.134Z::Invalid Date

I am implementing this exactly like at this answer, and it works for most devices, am I doing something wrong??

UPDATE

to clarify the question. I create a String calling 

var stringToSave = JSON.stringify({gebDat: dataclass.gebDat, <here are some more variables>});

then I save it. Later, I load the string and parse it with

var jsonObj = JSON.parse(stringToSave);

then, I try to set my date again (calling a log just before that line) with

console.log(jsonObj.gebDat+"::"+new Date(jsonObj.gebDat));
this.gebDat = new Date(jsonObj.gebDat);

The log gives me the invalid date as shown above, and when I represent the Date it displays NaN.NaN.NaN instead of the expected 01.07.1973

you need send string and you send callback.

try:

console.log(jsonObj.gebDat+"::"+new Date(jsonObj.gebDat()));

1.Date string formats are implementation dependent. It is always recommended to use timestamps when you save dates.

var timestamp = Date.parse( new Date() );//1372675910000

Now you can use the saved timestamps to recreate the date later

var date = new Date(1372675910000);//Mon Jul 01 2013 16:21:50 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

2.For a simple transition from your current solution, in case you dont handle different timezones,

var dateString = jsonObj.getDat.substring(0,23);
var datePart = dateString.split('T')[0].split('-');
var timePart = dateString.split('T')[1].split(/[:.]/);
var DateOj = new Date(datePart[0], datePart[1], datePart[2], timePart[0], timePart[1], timePart[2]);

Let me clarify 1, with reference to your update.

var stringToSave = JSON.stringify({gebDat: Date.parse(dataclass.gebDat), <here are some more variables>});

var jsonObj = JSON.parse(stringToSave);

console.log('timestamp :' + jsonObj.gebDat);//1372680083000
console.log(new Date(jsonObj.gebDat));//Mon Jul 01 2013 17:31:23 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
