Why does deleting a calendar appointment on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2 not send a cancellation notice to attendees?

The company I work for runs Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers on premise. I have an Exchange account configured on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2. I am finding that if I choose to Delete an event from the Calender app on the iphone, the event is being removed from the iphone, and from the Exchange server, but the other people that are invited to the meeting are not receiving cancellation notices, nor is the event being deleted from their Exchange calendars. Why not?

I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
Discouraged....

  • Why Can't I Delete or Edit a Calendar Appointment on My iPhone?

    Why are my only choices "Accept" "Maybe" "Decline" for all calendar appointments pushed in from my Outlook calendar? I only have the choice to "Edit" calendar appointments when I create the calendar appointment on my iPhone itself. For all pushed in calendar appoinments, I can only "Decline" the appointment and then recreate it on my iPhone to be able to change it. This is annoying because I don't want to have to go through my calendar and "Accept" or "Decline" all my appointments, especially since this emails me that I have accepted or declined!

    Wienderful,
    Make sure your email address on the iPhone and the Exchange server are the same. This article explains more:

  • How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

    How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

    Did you create the event somewhere else?  A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device. 
    Its also possible its created under a mail account.  I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

  • How does one share calendar on all family iPhones?

    How does one share calendar on all family iPhones without giving credit card for Family Share?

    Hello RetiredRichard1,
    You do not need to have Family Sharing to share a calendar. All you need to do is figure out if you want the rest of the family to have the ability to create events with in it. If you do, then share it privately. If you just want them to see your calendar, share it publicly and they can just read it. Take a look at the article below to walk you through how to do this. If you want to follow along with the article, it will have you do things on iCloud.com but you can do this on your iOS devices and Mac.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • ICal calendars not syncing with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
    I'm using iCal on my MBP running Mac OS 10.6.4
    I have a MobileMe account.
    Never had an issue with calendars syncing with the iPhone previously.
    I am using MobileMe Calendar Beta. This now displays my calendars in iCal under my MobileMe account name (eg. [email protected]) rather than the 'On My Mac' section that it use to.
    I have five separate calendars in iCal on the Mac all named appropriately (eg. Work, Personal etc.) and all that appears on the iPhone is one calendar named 'Calendar' with no events in it??
    I've used MobileMe (.Mac) and iPhone syncing for years and have them set up as I always have.
    Does anyone have the same issues? Does anyone have any constructive advise?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Wendy G. : OK, thank you.
    Devendra : pl wait...its syncing
    Wendy G. : OK, no problem
    Devendra : While its syncing..what's the next step?

    Wendy G. : Then we will go back to Settings>Mail Contacts and Calendars and switch only the contacts to "On" and "Do not Merge" data, but we will need to wait until the syncing is complete OK?
    Devendra : ok..its done on the Mac. i am on the Mail, Contacts and Calendar page of the phone. from where do I switch the contacts off?
    Wendy G. : Please tap your MobileMe account name and the sliders will appear.
    Devendra : After selecting "Do Not Merge", should I select "Keep on My iPhone"?
    Wendy G. : No, please delete, the data will merge fresh from www.me.com, which is what we want!

    Wendy G. : Please go to Settings>Mail Contacts and Calendars, tap your MobileMe account and then select "Calendars" only.
    Wendy G. : Please switch them to off, "Do not Merge" and "Delete"
    Wendy G. : Once that is complete, then you will switch them to "On" using the same process, by selecting "Do not Merge" once again and "Delete" from the phone.
    Devendra : Switched it off but after turning On again, it didnt ask me for anything, simply the switch turned to On
    Wendy G. : OK, thank you.
    Wendy G. : Please place a test contact and a test event on the iPhone, and also place on your Mac, to verify if the syncing has resolved OK.

    Wendy G. : Please put a test contact there and the information will refresh from www.me.com
