Incorrect Time Zone

My daughter and I are having issues with calendar entries on our iPhones. Whenever we create a new entry in the Gmail calendar, it appears with GMT despite the fact that all the overrides and time zones are set to EST.
We did wonder whether this was because we visited the UK recently.
Checking the Apple Forums and following advice given, they now suggest this may be a cell provider issue. That's you!
Here is the Apple response:

    Kpwcareer,
The correct date and time is certainly an important function!  When did this start happening? What model iPhones are you using? Software up to date? Please clarify a few more details so we can find the root cause.

  • S4 Chooses incorrect time zone when set to automatic

    My S4, and my son's, are choosing the incorrect time zone when the phones are set to choose automatically.
    The phones were working and my son noticed his was off earlier in the week and mine seems to have developed the same issue sometime last evening.
    They are both choosing Central Time and should be choosing Mountain Time.
    Location services are enabled on both (GPS & Verizon as well as Google Wi-Fi)
    I've launched my phone in Safe Mode and the issue still occurs
    On my son's we chose to set time zone manually which works, but it reset itself to automatic later and returned to being incorrect.
    Thanks for any help.

    On my phone I believe it was the day I posted here (April 14th) on his a couple days prior to that.
    Both had 'fixed' themselves until his changed back a couple days ago
    No new apps, latest update applied to both phones (after his was already showing incorrect time).
    Also of note, 3 other S4's in the household that do not have the issue(...yet?)
    As mine is currently working I don't suppose there's a need for me to run in safe mode, but I will pass the instructions on to him

  • IPhone 4S Calendar Event Defaults to Incorrect Time Zone

    My iPhone, Win7 PC is set for Eastern Time. I use Outlook/Exchange and the Outlook calendar in Options is set for Eastern Time as well. I never had any issues until recently. My iPhone syncs with the Exchange server using ActiveSync.
    A few weeks ago I was out west and changed my Win 7 O/S time zone to Pacific Time. I did not change anything in Outlook or on my iPhone. The iPhone has always been set for “Set Automatically” (Settings/General/Date & Time). Also, in Mail, Contacts and Calendars my Time Zone is Set for Montreal (where I live) with Time Zone Support “On”. I have never changed this from the day I got the iPhone. Whenever I travel the time zone automatically switches. When I came back from the west coast my phone switch back to Eastern as it should and I manually set the Win 7 O/S to Eastern as well.
    Now for some reason, when I create a calendar event in Outlook (i.e. on the desktop) the event shows up correctly on the iPhone (example: a meeting for tomorrow at 2:00 PM Eastern shows up as tomorrow at 2:00PM on the iPhone). However, when I “edit” the calendar event on the iPhone, the time shows up as 11:00AM and the time zone is Los Angeles (3 hours apart from Montreal). You can just imagine how this is causing me havoc as I do business in different time zones and have to reschedule meetings often.
    I have tried to set the time zone to something else and then back to eastern or Montreal. It makes no difference. When I create a calendar event directly on the iPhone the default time zone is Montreal and it shows up correctly on both devices.
    Any ideas what’s going on?

    Hi Song&DanceMan, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Issues with calendar time zone can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Time Zone Support feature may be affecting these events. Please use the attached article for more information on Time Zone Support.

  • Incorrect time zone for Mongolia

    Hi I am using Nokia N95 and want to use a pc suite calendar sync. But on N95, Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar is on Time Zone +9, it needs to be on +8, which is correct. when I do sync with my pc all the calendar schedule brings one our difference because on windows Mongolia is in the time zone +8.
    Please help me how to solve this problem 

    Don't think that is a user changeable setting. If it is a bug in the firmware then you should report it using the "Contact us" tab above to the right of this screen. Perhaps they will correct it for the next update and newer phones.
    You could try updating your firmware if there is a newer version available for your phone. It may already have been corrected.

  • How to fix, incorrect time zone adjustment from iCloud to iPhone Calendar?

    I entered a calendar event on iCloud using my PC.  The event is displayed an hour later on my iPhone. i.e (iCloud) Flight; 2:15pm --> (iPhone) Flight; 3:15pm.
    The Time Zone setting is correct (Eastern Daylight Savings) on both the PC and iCloud.
    I have had a similar issue when syncing calendar between Yahoo and iPhone.
    Any similar experiences? Can this be fixed?
    Thanks.

    I re-checked the iCloud timezone settings and found that it was set to "Eastern Standard Time" not Daylight savings time. Odd. I clicked on the map again and it changed to "Eastern Time".  I tried again and it seems to be working.  I am assuming that the "Eastern Time" timezone adjusts automatically.
    I haven't figured out the issue with Yahoo calendar yet. Any suggestions?
    I also followed up with Ralph Landry1's suggestion and Time Zone support is set to off. Thanks for the heads up.

  • Exchange Server meetings in Russian time zones as well as names of time zones are incorrect after October 26, 2014

    After October 26, 2014, Exchange Server users who are in Russian time zones may see meeting times incorrect Time Zone-display names may be outdated in OWA.
    RU8 should release in middle of November of this year. 
    The RU8 update only updates the “Time Zone Name” http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3004235 
    Time zone display names in OWA will be outdated after October 26, 2014. Meeting times will be updated if you install the 2014 time zone update for Russia (KB 2998527)
    for the Windows Server. Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013 rely on Windows for time zone information.
    The actual times will be correct in OWA as long as the Windows OS update is applied: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2998527 
    Note:
    There are multiple components involved this issue.Windows PC O/S update, Windows Server O/S update and Exchange server application update. We need to ensure all the below things are up-to date in-order for this functionality to work properly.
    Windows PC - It should have the latest patch updated.There is no patch that needs to be rolled out for windows PC for this functionality to work.Just ensure that end users are in the latest available patch.
    Windows Server- Ensure that the Windows server is latest update (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2998527)
    Exchange Server patching-  There is also an Outlook Web Access (OWA) related component to this involving the availability of the latest Russian time zone changes into the OWA display.   Meetings will display correctly in the calendar,
    it is more of a feature issue around time zone display names.  Exchange Server SP3 RU8 will address this, and it will be released in middle November.

  • The time zone is incorrect on my Verizon iPad 3 when lte is enabled.

    My time zone is incorrect when the LTE network is enabled on my Verizon iPad 3.  When I disable LTE the time zone shows correct.  The incorrect time zone when LTE is enabled always shows Cupertino.

    I keep my auto-update for time zone turned off.  You might try turning it off, changing to the appropriate time zone, and then turning it back on.  Maybe it's an Apple joke of everything being on Apple time.

  • Multi Time Zone No Longer Available

    I use Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.
    Since upgrading to the new iCloud panel, Microsoft outlook has lost the multi time zone support. Also, appointments seem to be recorded in incorrect time zones.
    I do a lot of travel for work, and my outlook is set in EST. I schedule all of my flights to start in the time some where I depart, and end in the time zone where I arrive.  For example, Depart 10AM PST, Arrive 5PM EST.  The iCloud calendar let me enter this, and it worked and synced via iCloud with my phone.  Not it only lets me have a start time zone.
    Also, when I used to accept an appointment on my phone, it would keep the correct time zone.  It no longer does.  For example, if someone send me a 10AM PST meeting, I would accept it on my phone, and it would show up in outlook at 1PM EST.  Now when someone sends me a 10AM PST meeting, and I accept it while in PST, it shows up in Outlook at 10AM EST. 
    This is causing a lot of difficulty with my job and if I can’t find a solution, I may need to go back to syncing to outlook directly and not using the cloud.
    Does anyone know why this functionality went away and how to work around it?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Pondini.  Unfortunately, it didn't work...the only thing I didn't try was this and that's because I'm using Lion and the instructions say Leopard only:
    The backups may be corrupted.  Try repairing them, per item C5.
    How do I repair in Lion?  Thanks!

  • ICal and time zone stamps?

    Apologies that this is long. It's three questions about trouble I've recently encountered using iCal.
    I imported 80+ appointments into iCal from a .ics file created by Oracle Calendar.
    1. The .ics file did not contain any time zone info, and iCal associated each of the imported appointments with GMT, despite the Mac's zone set to "Denver" in the Date & Time preference pane and iCal's time zone set to "America/Denver". Why doesn't iCal associate unassigned appointments with its own time zone?
    2. Each of those appointments appeared in iCal at the correct local time, despite being associated with GMT. That is, with iCal's zone set to "America/Denver" I would have expected an item imported as, e.g., 10:00 GMT to show up at 17:00 in the iCal window. But none of them did--they all appeared as if they were MST, but with GMT stamps, and I don't understand why.
    3. I didn't actually find out these items were associated with GMT until after I synced with my Palm Tungsten E. All of the items imported as GMT were shifted 7 hours on the Palm. So I went back to iCal and for each and every one of the imported appointments I changed the time zone to "floating" and then "America/Denver". (If I went straight from GMT to MST the appointment jumped 7 hours back in time, and I got tired of this.)
    After that process, every event in iCal was associated with MST. I then synced with the Palm and found that, to my surprise, the imported events still showed up on the Palm as if they were GMT, i.e., shifted forward 7 hours. I should add that I didn't merge, I told the sync conduit to erase the Palm's contents.
    Back to iCal. I used "Back up Database..." and "Revert to Database backup...", then sync, telling conduit to erase Palm's contents. No change.
    Back to iCal. I select one of the troublesome events, "cut" it to the clipboard, and then paste to bring it back. After a sync that one event shows up correctly on the Palm, i.e., as MST as intended.
    The question at the end of a long #3 is, if an event is imported with the wrong time zone stamp, why does it retain that stamp despite being manually changed to a different time zone?
    I know the knowledge base has an article on incorrect time zone stamps, and that a possible fix is to export the entire database and then import to a new calendar. I didn't find this out until recently, and it doesn't address iCal's behavior so much as provide a workaround.
    PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    After looking more closely at the .ics files exported by Oracle Calendar I see that events are exported as if they were GMT; iCal is, indeed, showing the appointments at the correct local time. This makes my first two questions irrelevant.
    However, question #3 still remains: why or how does the original GMT stamp persist after manually setting an event's time zone to local time, "America/Denver"?

  • ICal time zone on GMT for downloaded calendar invitations

    I have mac OS X 10.7.5. When I download an invite from Evite, or TripIt. The items comes to my iPhone in the correct timezone, but not on my iMac. My iMac defaults to GMT. i have updated the preferecens, added time zone support, and it still loads in GMT. How do I fix this?  iCal is version 5.0.3.  I think the issue only comes when I download invitations from others.

    I have no clue what I did, but for some reason the time comes up correctly when you view the calendar summary. But when you click on the specific calendar item, it shows the incorrect time zone. Odd.

  • A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower

    A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower (in this specific area).   Our phones show the correct time in other areas.   Is there a way to fix or report this?

    The zip code that this is occurring in is: 87102
    Specifically when I am at
    1001 Woodward Pl NE
    Albuquerque, NM 87102
    Upon further investigation, it is happening to anyone with a Verizon handset, regardless of specific device.  I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and my co-worker has a Motorola Droid Turbo and we are both having the issue.  Anyone on a different carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T) is fine, and is not experiencing this issue.
    It actually looks like the cell tower is feeding us the correct time, but its like it forgot daylight savings happened.  So it is feeding us the incorrect time zone/day light savings information.
    When I goto Settings -> Date and Time on my Android device,  I have both "Automatic date and time" and "Automatic time zone" checked.
    the "Automatic timezone" it is pulling from the Verizon cell tower is "Mountain -7".   It is correct that we are in the "Mountain" timezone, but we are currently "Mountain -6" (also known as day light savings).   So the Cell Tower things it MST when it should be MST DST
    When I uncheck "Automatic time zone" and select my own, suddenly it lets me select "Mountain -6" and doesn't even give me the option of "Mountain -7".
    So in conclusion, some cell tower in the area of zip code 87102 forgot that daylight savings ever happened, and is telling cellphones they are in the "Mountain -7" timezone, instead of the correct current timezone of "Mountain -6 DST"
    Edit: Oh, sorry, and to answer your question, it began happening about 3 weeks ago.  We started noticing around March 25th, maybe a little after that.

  • It shows incorrect time in time zone iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the london time show is wrong,how do i correct this?

    It shows incorrect time in time zone on my iphone 4s!! If i select 'set automatically' the London time, is wrong,how do i correct this?

    I recently got the same problem and noticed that it only started after I'd downloaded a particular app which used the location feature.  It was the free version of the Weather Channel that started it off and, since I've deleted it, I've not had the problem of being in Singapore or China since!
    I expect there will be other apps that cause the same issues - probably a bad piece of code being used to pick up the location function.  It might be worth trying to turn individual apps off that feature in location services to pinpoint which other apps may causing your problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • Time Zone reporting incorrectly, Samba logs report incorrect workgroup

    Let me start by saying that I am reasonably adept at setting up networks, and knowing what various logs are referring to, but I suspect I am way out of my depth in figuring out what is going on here.
    A day or so ago, my MBP (1st Gen, details below) started reporting its time zone as being Eastern US, location Brainerd, TN. I have always had the checkbox ticked for "Set time zone automatically using current location". This is very weird, as I have never been there, and AFAIK, haven't done anything with settings to make any changes. When I select the Time Zone tab in Date & Time > System Prefs, and try to change it, I get the message "Unable to determine current location at this time".
    Networking wise, I use Wifi to a 1TB Time Capsule, ethernet to the same TC, and/or tethering to my iPhone. The IP addresses attached to each of these NICs seems OK; my two LAN connections are within the same 10.0.1.n class A network, and the tether connection falls in the 172.10.20.n class C network.
    Looking at the various logs, I noticed that the logs for Samba show that my MBP is a local master browser for a workgroup that MAY still be configured on the lone MSWinXP computer in the LAN.
    Long and the short of it, I am paranoid that my network has been hacked. Any enlightened comments would be appreciated. My network security-fu could obviously use some more practice, but I think I've got everything locked down pretty well.

  • Date & Time - Time Zone incorrect

    Hi all, only recently has the time zone been thinking that my current location is in Hong Kong where I am actually in England (so the time should be Greenwich Mean Time). Does anyone know what this problem might be from or how to solve it? It's not incredibly important because it's just set to manual but I'd like to know the root of the problem.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    On a desktop I would read that as an early sign that the PRAM battery was failing. Not sure if the MBP has a secondary PRAM battery, however; my MacBooks don't. Anyway, try resetting the PRAM for a start; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

  • Why is the Time Zone incorrect in iCal?

    I live in Hawaii and when I trun on the Time Zone Support (in Mail, Contacts,Calendars) and select Honolulu, it puts the time 1 hour earlier than the current time. (iCal shows 6:30 when the actual appointment is for 7:30).  However, when I select Anchorage, Alaska, iCal is set to the correct time.   If I turn off the Time Zone Support it sets the time 1 hour earlier  - just like setting it to the Honolulu time.  Can someone explain why this is happening.  It start when I switched to Lion and iCloud.

    Are you normally in Hawaii?  What is your "home" area?
