Outlook Sync - Daylight Savings/Timezone Problem

Hi,
Having an issue where the times on my calendar appointments are out by an hour (1 hour earlier on the phone than Outlook). ((We are on daylight saving at the moment.) This may be a problem with outlook as when I export the appointments to a speadsheet, they are also out by 1 hour.
Have a 6230i, running XP SP2, outlook 2002 SP2, PC Sync 6.6.18.
Thanks
Glenn

This problem is still around in 2012!
Are you still using a Nokia phone? If the problem is still around when I buy my next mobile, I won't be buying a Nokia.
Here is my analysis and solution. I'm getting tired of rewriting it to suit particular questions so here's the general version.
I have had hours and hours of frustration with syncing my phone with Outlook calendar because of the way the date and time settings are described on my Nokia phone.
My Timezone is GMT+10 regardless of whether my location is currently in Daylight Saving. The automatic Daylight Saving settings on my computer adjust the time setting by plus 1 hour when Daylight Saving starts.
On the phone, however, setting the time works in a totally weird way. To get the right time on calendar events synced from my computer, I have to set up the phone according to the actual GMT time difference on the day I do the settings. Right now I'm in Daylight Saving so I have to put my Timezone as GMT+11. If I was doing the settings in mid-winter I would have to set the Timezone as GMT+10.
I just discovered this solution today! What a relief. My calendar events now appear at the same time on my phone as on the computer!
However, the whole Nokia time setup arrangement is quite incorrect and that explains the extremely long sequence of complaints on these discussion pages - going back to at least 2005.
It's very straightforward. My Timezone is GMT+10: it's GMT+10 in midsummer and it's GMT+10 in midwinter. A Daylight Saving adjustment doesn't ever change anyone's Timezone.
If Nokia used the correct meaning of Timezone, no-one would be having any problems with syncing events from their computer to their phone.
I have contacted Nokia separately about their serious error in misunderstanding the meaning of Timezone.

Daylight Savings Time problem

I live in Saskatchewan (SK), a province in Canada that does not observe daylight savings time (we stay on central standard time year round). My iPhone calendar is set to a city in our province (Regina). Looking at next week's calendar entries, they are all pushed back an hour, like the iPhone is automatically compensating for the end of daylight savings this weekend. The only problem is, we don't change our clocks in SK since we don't observe DST, so all my appointments are out an hour.
I hope someone can shed some light on this so I don't have to go into my calendar and manually reset all the times.

The alarm issue is a known problem and apparently Apple plans on fixing it with iOS 4.2. Here's a link to news items about the alarm issue.

IPhone 6 Plus Daylight Savings Time Problem

My recent upgrade from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 Plus has been generally positive, but today the phone outsmarted me.
The phone seemed to be correctly reset to daylight savings time for most of the day.
Around 6PM I set an alarm for 8PM to remind me to wake my sister from a nap.
A while later the alarm goes off. It didn't seem like two hours. I called my sister and said it was eight,
but alas it was only 7PM.
I went into the alarm settings and sure enough the alarm was still set for 8PM.
My Mac Pro says it is 7PM, and the MacBook says so also.
I am on the central coast of California, in Santa Maria. My provider is Sprint.
My very expensive smart phone seems confused about the time. :-(
Thoughts?

6681 Daylight Savings Time Problem

I have a 6681 and live in Bangkok, which does not have daylight savings time. Bangkok is set as my Home City. However, I need to coordinate work with people in other timezones that do have DST. With Daylight Savings set on OFF, New York is shown as being 12 hours earlier, when in fact it is 11 hours earlier due to DST. Therefore, it is now 10 am in Bangkok and 11 pm in New York, but the phone shows NY incorrectly as being 10 pm. However, if I set DST to ON,it moves the Bangkok time ahead 1 hour, to 11 am, which is incorrect, but leaves New York unchanged at 10 pm. Therefore, the phone now shows a 13 hour time difference, rather than the correct 11 hour difference.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

10.3.9 Daylight Savings Time Problem (DST Patch applied), it was working

We have about 30 Macs running 10.3.9, all of which were patched last year with the DST patch (2007). They are all configured to set the date and time automatically using time.apple.com. The user account used by the people using them is a non-administrator account.
Since Daylight Savings Time changed in March 9, 2008, they correctly changed their time until late last week (end of March), when several of them went back to the old time. If I open the Date & Time System Preference Pane and authenticate, the clock changes to the correct time, without any further input from me other than authenticating as the admin. Once changed, some but not all go back to the incorrect time about a day later.
Any ideas? I am trying to see if there is a simpler solution that resetting PRAM, throwing away cache files, etc.
Other machines running newer versions of the OS don't have the issue.
Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice.

Outlook Calendar Sync Daylight Savings with different timezones 2 weeks off

Hi,
I sync my iPhone with Outlook 2007 on Windows XP.
I work in PST timezone but have appointments from Germany.
DST change in the US is 2 weeks earlier than in Germany. Within this two
weeks my appointments from Germany are 1 hour off.
Within this two weeks the time difference to Germany is 8 hours instead of the usual 9 hours.
I tried to deactivate "Automatically adjust clock..." in Windows, but then all my "local" appointments are one hour off.
Does anyone have a solution for that.
Thanks a lot,
Stefan

As I was going through my Add/Remove Software list in Control Panel, I noticed that 3 XP Seurity Updates were installed immediately before my sync stopped working.
The MS XP updates are:
KB957097
KB954459
KB955069
Could this be the problem? I have tried every recommendation in this forum and can not sync any more with Outlook (AT ALL). I was able to establish ASCII Address Book transfer...but that's it.
Anyone else having a problem since the update installs???

IPhone calendar time problem post daylight savings time change

Addendum to the similar post about a one hour differential between iCal and iPhone. THis is not just iCal. I have the same problem on WIndows XP/Outlook 2003. Everythign worked fine until the time change last weekend. Now this is what happens:
Any meeting set up in Outlook BEFORE Daylight Savings that has a start date BEFORE Daylight Savings appears properly on iPhone. FOr example, every Thursday beginning Nov 1 at 8am. THis shows up correct in iPhone at 8am for today, Nov 8.
But, any meeting set up AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour later on the iPhone when I sync. SO a meeting I set up in OUtlook for 10am today shows up at 11am on the iPhone.
And, any calendar event I set up on the iPhone AFTER Daylight Savings shows up one hour earlier in Outlook 2003.
THis is a huge problem for me! Both of my calendars are wrong now. PLease help!!! I have tried everything I can:
I tried setting up meetings with the OUtlook Daylight Savings setting enables and disabled: no change. No differnce whether I set up the meeting on my PC or it is an invitation from someone else. I lost all sync history. no change. I overwrote all calendar content (in iPhone advanced options) - no change.
And, as my fellow poster mentions - the tiime on the two systems match.

I think this problem is more complex. Background - UK clocks went back at the end of October; the USA went back one week later. I am in the UK and my Outlook calendar contains appointments created in the USA.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment before any clocks went back. In Outlook everything is correct. The meeting times are the same each week except for the one week between the two clock changes when, quite correctly, the meeting shows up one hour earlier. When I sync with my iPhone, the meeting shows at the same time every week regardless - this is incorrect.
Someone in the USA created a recurring appointment in the week after the UK clocks went back but before the USA clocks did. Outlook correctly shows the first occurrence as one hour earlier than all the following occurrences. Unfortunately - and this is the really nasty bit - the iPhone shows ALL the appointments one hour earlier than they should be. The only one that is correct is the first one.
This is a nasty bug and something that Apple needs to fix.

Calculating time for different timezone, problems with daylight savings?

Hi all,
I try to convert my locale time to a different timezone (like a world clock does). This worked until Europe got "summer time". Then my time calculation went wrong. I just paste the following coding to give you a quick reproducable code.
I did a lot of googleing but nothing found so far. Also search here in the forum didn't help me solving it. So now I created a post on my own.
The output of the Java programm is the following (without the colored comments). I just entered these comments to show you where the calculation is right and where it goes wrong.
I have absolutely now idea about where the chase the error. I am only guessing with "daylight savings issue".
Hopefully anybody has a good idea.
Thanks in advance
John

You should not set the time zone on the calendar since you want the calendar based on UTC.
        List<TimeZone> list = new LinkedList<TimeZone>();
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/London"));
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe/Berlin"));
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Australia/Sydney"));
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/New_York"));
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Bangkok"));
        list.add(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Hong_Kong"));
        Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(); // Regardless of your timezone this holds the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 UTC.
        for (TimeZone tz : list)
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = (SimpleDateFormat) DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.MEDIUM);
            formatter.setTimeZone(tz);
            System.out.println("\n" + tz.getID());
            System.out.println("daylight shift in millis: " + tz.getDSTSavings());
            System.out.println("Is in daylight savings: " + tz.inDaylightTime(cal.getTime()));
            System.out.println(formatter.format(cal.getTime()));
        } I have no idea whether or not this then gives the results you expect.

Daylight Savings Time - Calendar Problems

When I checked my calendar this evening (i.e. since daylight savings came into effect) I noticed that some (not all) of my scheduled events have been pushed back by an hour. I looked at my Outlook calendar and everything is in the right time slot. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Does anyone have a fix?

I had similar problems with the calendar on the iphone until I set BOTH timezone sections properly. That is, there is a time zone entry for Date & Time, and one for Calendar, and both should be set, regardless of whether you have "Automatic" and/or "Time Zone Support" turned on or off.
So, under Settings>General>Date&Time, turn "Set Automatically" off and then pick your correct time zone. I also turned on "Set Automatically" after setting the proper time zone there.
Then, go to Time Zone Support and turn that off, then pick your correct time zone. I leave the support off because I always enter my calendar times for local time in the time zone I'll actually be in (e.g., a 10:00 meeting in London is set for 10:00 in my calendar even though I live near philadelphia, because it want it to be set for 10:00 when I'm there in London).
Ever since setting both time zone sections, I've not had any problems. It turned out that the date&time setting was set for cupertino, though I never noticed it because set automatically was turned on. So even though I'd set my calendar time zone properly, odd things happened because somehow the cupertino time zone was effective for certain things.
Anyway, just a few thoughts.

Outlook Sync - Multiple Calendar Problem

(I am not sure whether this belongs in this Forum or would be more appropriately directed to my Device (Curve 8900) forum or Desktop Software. Please advise or re-direct if that is the case.)
I am having a sync issue with Outlook, and it revolves around the issue of having multiple calendars on the Device, each of which is associated with an e-mail address. I understand this has been a relatively common question; however, although I admittedly may be looking in the wrong place, I have yet to come across a comprehensive solution.
I understand how to switch the "default" e-mail associated with scheduling items on the calendar, and I believe I'm correct in thinking that this is what syncs with Outlook. I've noticed that when I try switching the default, Outlook wants to delete all other appointments which are NOT associated with that device calendar.
So I guess my specific questions are:
1) Is there a way to have Outlook sync with ALL calendars on the device, i.e. not just the default? It's easy enough to make all appointments from here on out with a single account & have that be the one that syncs; however, it doesn't seem possible to do that without having Outlook want to delete all other appointments.
2) Is there a way to change the associated email/calendar for events on the Device? When I open an event, I can see which email/calendar it is but I don't know how to *change* it -- I only seem to have a choice when scheduling new events.
If either of these was an option, I think that would solve my problem -- I could either go through the device & convert everything to the default email/calendar & everything would be there upon sync, OR Outlook would just pick up everything from all calendars when I sync.
I don't understand why it's so complicated to have everything in one place!
Thanks in advance to those willing to share their wisdom & advice in this matter.

Outlook 2011 for mac daylight savings time issue

Hello,
I have a problem in my company where after daylight savings time meetings are shown an hour off in the calendar, but in the body of the meeting the time seems fine. The real problem is when after updating the meeting from it's body (just pressing save and
close) the meeting is bloated by an hour.
E.g. if a meeting after daylight savings time is from 11:00 to 12:00, it's shown on the calendar from 12:00 to 13:00, but after updating the meeting it's shown from 11:00-13:00.
This happens only on the macs in the company.
Thank you.

Problem with time settings after daylight savings

Ever since the time was returned to normal from daylight savings time, the time on my Blackberry Pearl 8100 is out by one hour (1 hour slow). I set the correct timezone under Date/Time Options and set the Date/Time Source to 'off'. Also, the network time is 7 hours slow since I returned from an overseas trip recently. Can anyone please help?

Sounds like you may need the DST Patch installed on your phone. Go to www.blackberry.com/dst2007 on your device and follow the steps. It is very easy to do

Has anyone had problems in v5.0a of Iplanet calendar installed on a Sun box with creating events and daylight savings time?

Events created around 4/6/2002 at 8pm get created with the wrong time (9pm) and there are several other creation and display problems tied to Daylight Savings in April and October. Version 5.1 of the software seems to fix that but we are looking for a fix until we can upgrade. We have been using Windows systems to access the calendar.
Thanks.

We have not seen exactly this, but many users appointments are lining up in the wrong time slots. Also, when scheduling, the time display is off by an hour. We have found what looks like a temporary fix.
We noticed that the problem only affects users who have the start of the week set to Sunday (when daylight savings time started). Setting the week to start on Monday fixed our display problems (you can do it in the users, options section).
I am placing a support call w/SUN.

CUE timezone and daylight savings time

Hi,
Having issue where CUEs don't seem to be adjusting for daylight savings time. Timezone is set correct to EST but is a hour off because its daylight savings time now. The router and CUE are configured to use same NTP server and router has summertime setting and adjusts for DST fine and has correct time but CUE is a hour behind, like it is not doing DST.
Were on version 2.2(2) of CUE software.
This is also in indiana where the laws changed recently so maybe that has something to do with this.
Any ideas?

Very likely due to the change in Indiana. A workaround would be to change the timezone to an EST zone that observes DST such as America/Louisville (Eastern Time - Kentucky - Louisville Area).
Hope this helps.
Brandon
