Daylight Savings and Calendar 

With daylight savings kicking in this past weekend - now all of my Exchange calendar entries are 1 hour early.  That is, a meeting that should start at 9 am, no indicates an 8 am start.

 

Any idea how to fix this?

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

I just noticed the same thing happened to me. All my appointments are now 1 hour earlier and I just got a reminder for a meeting at 11 AM for a meeting that is at 12.

I think we would need more information, but I'd start with the following....

 

1.  Are you syncing through google?  If so are you absolutely certain that the timezone / dst settings are correct within the calendear?

2.  Do you have the DST patch for your computer and/or Outlook?

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

Not syncing through Google.  This is via the calendar app on the HTC hero with an Active Sync direct connect to my company's Microsoft Exchange server.  It syncs mail, calendar and contacts.

 

I'm not connecting to my MS Outlook or computer for syncing purposes.  But what patch are you referring to?

 

Is there a DST patch for the Hero?

No patches of anykind for Hero.

 

There are patches for Windows & Outlook, but since we've been on this version of DST I'm assuming you have them (but you may want to double check).  Ensure you are on the correct timezone on your phone (Date & Time Settings) and on your computer.

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

Same issue here.  I sync directly with exchange over the air.  Trying a reboot and manually setting the timezone vs. network only time sync.  Didn't work.  This may be the final straw for this phone. Between dust in the screen and this.  Hmmm.

 

UDPATE

In my case, this appears to be isolated to recurring events.  Other events seem fine.

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

I also use Google sync for my Outlook Calendar. Only one of my appointments is off by an hour. I checked my Outlook and it was okay. I checked my Google Calendar and it was okay. However, the Hero calendar is off. I tried to sync and it is still off.

 

It is also force closing on me quite often. In other words, I often get a message that the calander app is not working and I must "Force Close" the app. I started getting this Force Close notice after I synced a recurring appointment from Outlook to Google to Hero. Now, I get it about three times a day.

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

I called HTC.  They were able to replicate the problem with the recurring events.  However, the issue is not theirs.  It is a flaw in the Google Android OS (according to them).  So now what?  I really do like this phone (I loved it before daylight savings time).  I am contemplating downgrading back to my HTC Touch because I had absolutely NO problems!!

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

Touchdown for Exchange has no problems with Daylight Savings Time.   All appointments are displayed correctly.   Best 10 bucks I've spent on my Hero yet.

Re: Daylight Savings and Calendar

I'm syncing to Google Calendar and my recurring events are an hour early. My time zone setting in Google Calendar is correct.
