IPhone Time Zone

My portuguese mobile network, Optimus, does not have automatic date & time update; however, I had my iPhone set up for automatically update date & time.
Everything worked fine, until the day I went to Spain and the iPhone went on "roaming" mode. In Spain, it automatically updated my time zone, but when I got back to Portugal, my iPhone insists on remaining on the Madrid Time Zone, even if I set it manually to Lisbon!
I am DESPERATE!!! Can anyone please help me?

I had this problem on a recent trip to the Gold Coast (Australia). The phone automatically set to Pacific as I turned on the phone as the plane landed. I set the phone manually to the time zone in GC at 10 am, but the World Clock still showed it as 10 am in California and early evening in Australia. I tried every combination of settings and it never corrected itself. It was right again when I got back to California.
It was very frustrating, I'm sure it has worked before. Maybe it was because I used the auto mode right before leaving Ca? I usually used the manual mode. But it seems it should be able to work right.
Hope someone has an answer for this. thanks.

  • Time Zones not correctly converted in iPhone Calendar

    Problem with recurring meetings that were scheduled by a meeting organizer in a different time zone than my "home" time zone (as configured on the iPhone time zone support).
    I am unable to sync or connect directly to my corporate Exchange Calendar due to strict corporate security settings. However, I am able to publish my calendar from Outlook 2007 to the internet. I am publishing my calendar to Office Live. I can then subscribe to my Office Live calendar from the iPhone (3Gs iPhone OS 3.1). Single occurrence meetings seems to translate time zone information fine. In all cases (single or recurring from any time zone) show up fine when I view them via Office Live and/or Outlook 2007.
    The problem is the recurring meetings that were originally scheduled in a different (than my "home" time zone that I have configured on my iPhone Calendar time zone support settings) are showing up in the iPhone Calendar incorrectly. A meeting scheduled for 10:00 AM CST is showing up in my iPhone at 10:00 AM PST instead of 08:00 AM PST. I tried turning off time zone support on the iPhone but it didn't make any difference. I believe that setting is really only for meetings scheduled from the iPhone. The setup I described above is a read-only setup from an iPhone perspective.
    Interesting that single occurrence meetings work fine... Is this just a bug in the iPhone Calendar app or issue with the way Microsoft represents time zones in recurring meetings?
    I should also note that the iPhone Calendar also appears to have problems when a single occurrence of a recurring meeting is changed as well.

    How about putting together the information about this nasty bug at a single place in this forum?

  • Traveling to another Time Zone

    I did a quick search here, but still a little unsure as to what to do, as there may be an issue with iCal.
    I have a weeks worth of calendar events setup here in Eastern Time Zone for next week. I will be in MT time zone next week with my iPhone. Do I change the time zone in iCal before I leave or do I turn Time zone support off on the phone?
    Thanks for any advice.
    CD3

    I have next weeks calendar events set up in iCal for my time zone here (Eastern) at the time of day that they are supposed to occur.
    For the time of day the events are supposed to occur in the Eastern time zone, or when the events are supposed to occur while you will be in the Mountain time zone?
    If you don't change anything with iCal, leaving Time Zone Support off on your iPhone, events will display according to the time zone of your current location.
    If Time Zone Support is on with your iPhone, Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars.
    So it depends on the time you want the events to be shown on your iPhone - Eastern Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone.

  • Is my iPhone calendar reading from the wrong time zone? How do I fix it?

    First, here is all the info that I have about all of the clocks on my phone: the date and time on my iPhone are set automatically to Vancouver's time zone, in the Clock app though, I've also added in the clocks for Seoul and Manila so that I know the time when I need to contact friends out there, etc. Location wise, everything else on my phone is fine: my map correctly shows where I am, the weather app shows the weather for my city and my clock changes automatically for daylight savings.
    Now, when I put in an event into the calendar app, while putting in the details such as start and end time, the Time Zone slot is always set to Seoul for some reason. I have to go in and change it to Vancouver manually. Even after doing this and setting everything though, the alarm always goes off at the wrong date and time - I think it' s going off at when that time reaches Seoul, not Vancouver. So then I tried setting it again, this time, leaving the time zone as Seoul in case things were somehow just 'backward' in my phone, and still the alarm went off at the wrong date and time.
    I really can't understand it and haven't got the faintest clue as to how to fix it. Any ideas??
    In case this better or further explains what I'm trying to say:
    I just opened a new event on my calendar. I set it to begin twenty minutes from now (5:20AM) and left the ending time as the default one hour later (6:20AM). I also did not change the time zone which is already reading Seoul for whatever reason. I hit done, I'm taken back to the main calendar page, and there it shows as it should: 5:20AM today. I then went to set second event for 5:15AM only this time, I changed the timezone to Vancouver. All the information looks correct, but this time, when I hit done and am taken to the main calendar page, that event is recorded as having been set to 21:15PM instead!!
    [ I have an iPhone 4 but...I don't know what CDMA or GSM means so I'm not sure which pertains to me...]

    Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from changing appointment times when I move between time zone?

    How can I correct the automatic date/time updates for daylight savings on my iPhone.  It updates these changes on the wrong dates and sends my calendar into chaos.

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is Time Zone Support on or off?
    If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off.

  • Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
    Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
    First example.
    I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
    Second example.
    I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
    I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
    As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
    It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
    So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
    Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
    PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

    I am having a similar problem:  invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
    this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in:  I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST).  My settings have my time zone set correctly.
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS:  Using iPad original wit iOS5

  • How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

  • How to escalate Time Zone bug in iPhone Calendar to Apple?

    Hi, does anyone know how to escalate a bug in the iPhone calendar software to Apple?
    Time Zone support on the iphone which causes calendar items created in location "Kuwait" to be saved as "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time", which means that they arrive one hour out of sync in iCal.
    To replicate the problem:
    1. Turn on time zone support in both the iPhone and iCal
    2. Set the location to Kuwait on both
    3. Create an item in the calendar on the iphone
    4. Allow it to sync over Mobile Me
    5. See that it turns up 1 hour out in iCal
    6. Open the event in iCal and notice that it is set to "Gulf Standard Time" and not "Arabian Standard Time"
    The workaround is to turn the time zone on the iPhone to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which apparently is correctly matched to "Arabian Standard Time"
    Thanks

  • IPhone Date & Time keeps changing to "Cupertino"  time zone

    Hi
    Every time i change my Time Zone in Settings>General>Date & Time to "London,United Kingdom" it correctly changes to "London" but if i exit Settings and navigate back to Time Zone settings it has changed to "Cupertino".
    This effects World Clocks and other apps which is most annoying.
    I have firmware 2.0(5A345) installed on the iPhone. Is there a way to upgrade this? Will i lose all my current data if i do a firmware upgrade? Will it even fix the issue?
    Please help, there are currently 2 options I have. Find a fix or move to Cupertino so that my iPhone displays the correct time.
    Is there a less drastic option?
    Thanks in advance!

    If i do that it states that i am running the current version. Maybe because it is a revision and not a proper update.
    My twin brother also has the the version that you have (54347).
    Apparently it updates the firmware when you do a "Restore" through itunes but that will wipe the phone clean of everything. I don't mind doing this as long as i can transfer my backed-up content but if i do a "Restore from backup" to tranfer all my settings etc i have a feeling it will revert it back to the firmware that the iphone was running when it was backed up. Hope that makes sense!
    Thanks

  • 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,

    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.

  • TS3920 Time zone issues between iPad and iPhone.

    When I add a calendar entry from my iPad it has the correct time zone. But when I go to edit that entry from my iPhone, it has the wrong time zone. My settings have the correct time zone for both devices. What else can I check?

    Hello Julie,
    I know that Time Zone Support can cause these types of issues. Take a look at teh article below and check the setting on both the iPad and the iPhone.

  • IPhone 5 Time Zone Support Broken with iOS 8.1.2 Update

    Just returned from a U.S. business trip where my work appointments (sync’d to enterprise Exchange account) were not showing up in the correct time zone. Everything was three hours off. Events entered on my iPhone were also showing up three hours off on my Outlook client.
    But the biggest problem came when I returned home and the iPhone wouldn’t automatically change the time zone back. The “automatic” setting is not working, device time is still three hours slow (still set for Pacific time). The “time zone” is displaying as “New York.” Disabling automatic time zone set results in the correct date and time directly under the “time zone” set band, tapping on the band goes to the search screen that already shows “New York, U.S.A.” (general-date & time-time zone). Re-entering the correct zone (“New York”) does nothing different.
    Just for fun, I tried it again with a manual set for “Phoenix, U.S.A.” The time display directly below shows the correct current Phoenix time (12:03 p.m.), but the device is still stuck on PST (11:03 p.m.).
    Going back in and changing the time zone to “automatic” results in “New York” being displayed, but no change in device time. But disabling the “automatic” mode shows “Phoenix” again with Phoenix time directly below.
    While all this stupidity is going on, a quick look at the “clock” icon show the correct New York time (with the sweep second hand), but the device time (displayed at the top of the home screen) and the alarm still displays three hours slow.
    Anyone else unable to change their iPhone device time to the correct time zone?

    Try doing  a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

  • HT4576 What is the easiest way to enter a calendar event on an iPhone in a time zone which is different to one in which one is at present?

    What is the easiest way to enter a calendar event on an iPhone in a time zone which is different to one in which one is at present?  Can this synchronise with Outlook, which allows for time zones to be set manually for each event?
    This was easy on my old iPhone 4S, on which (exactly as in outlook) you manually defined a time zone for each event - but this function no longer seems to work on my new iPhone 5S.
