WP8 calendar incorrectly shifts entries by 1 hour during DST

The default calendar app is broken when it comes to handling daylight saving with Google calendar. See here for more details and history
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpemail/new-calendar-event-creation-is-completely-broken/977bb5bd-ca27-4fe8-b228-70b3ffaddafa
I've actually reported the problem on Nokia forums, the WP Twitter support, online chat, phone support, community forums but none of these seem to be officially monitored by Microsoft (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpemail/how-to-file-bug-reports-with-microsoft/e573bc4a-5762-42d1-b356-273352a46ee2).
The following blog post gives me some hope that the issue will finally reach relevant people as this new forum is supposedly monitored by Microsoft
http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2013/10/29/it-pros-now-have-a-windows-phone-support-forum-of-their-own.aspx
According to increasing number of comments to the first link the problem is spreading fast among WP users. I've just found someone had opened an issue on uservoice
http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/3378048-please-fix-the-daylight-savings-function

Hello everyone,
We're still looking for a cause for the issue, but here is what we know:
The observed hour shift is
not a configuration issue that can be resolved either on the phone or on your Google Calendar settings.
The event does not shift until the phone syncs via CalDAV with the Google server for customers in certain time zones (observed in UTC+2). 
The shift does not occur if the phone does not have connectivity (WiFi or Cellular).
Based on this info, my investigation is focused on why synced events are receiving an updated event from the Google server with a one hour difference from the intended time. 
From what I can observe, the phone sets the event's time correctly, then syncs with Google's server. We see the issue after this process.
The issue was previously resolvable by changing sync type to EAS via Google Sync. Windows Phone users can continue to set up new device connections with Google Sync until December 31, 2013.

Google has acknowledged certain DST related event time skewing issues with the Google Calendar DST translation process and have supplied information and several workarounds covered here

  • Synchronized calendar entries shows +1 hour on N95

    Hello,
    I'm currently using vista x64 + outlook 2007 and synchronising a N95 (01.01) with the latest firmware (v 31.0.0.15 07-11-08 RM-320) and latest pc suite (7.1.18).
    My synchronised calendar entries show 1 hour later on the N95.
    f.ex. outlook 2007 calendar entry is at 14h, it is shown at 15h on the N95 screen.
    What ever I try, reinstalling firmware, deleting calendar entries, resynchronising etc ... nothing helped !
    The clock on the N95 screen is correct!
    I have the following settings on the n95:
    a) time zone GMT+1:00 Brussels
    b) "time zone: local time"
    c) "network operator time: auto-update"
    (setting "network operator time" did NOT help!"
    This starts to get really annoying .... has annyone a clue on how to solve this issue?
    Thanks a lot!!!

    Hi didierlux
    i have the same problem, and i am using outlook 2007 as well.
    i got it fixed, you need to have both time setting on the PC and on the Phone to be the same ( i.e. GMT +1 brussels).
    Good luck!

  • Is there a way to find out if someone was locked out of my iphone due to multiple incorrect password entries?

    Yesterday, I lost my iphone and searched for hours. I found it in the middle of the highway (I'm lucky that I found it and I am lucky that all it suffered was a broken screen). I wanted to find out if someone had tried to access my phone and could not figure out the password. At this point, it is just a curiousity thing. I thought maybe there was a way to find out if my iphone had been locked due to multiple incorrect password entries. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    There is a way.  You can download iPhone Configuration Utility http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1465 and from there, when you connect your iPhone to your Mac / PC, you will be able to view the logs.
    I've just connected mine and tested by keying in the wrong code a couple of times, this shows up in the log:
    Desc   : Wrong passcode.
    US Desc: Wrong passcode.
    Domain : MCPasscodeErrorDomain
    Code   : 5011
    Type   : MCFatalError
    Along with other things.  So this may be something you could check to see how many times someone has tried to access your device.

  • Outlook 2010 Calendar displays shifted meeting and appointments

    We use Exchange on 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2010 on the workstaions.
    Some workstations are WinXP SP3 and some W7 SP1 (64bit and 32bit)
    All appointment shifted to one hour later. That is if there was an apppointment which was 10:00 AM, it now shows as 11:00 AM
    New meeting request show one hour ahead, that is if an appointment for 7:30 AM is sent, i see it as 6:30 AM.
    The problem is we never have any such problem with Outlook 2007 and now, since we started to upgrade to Outlook 2010 it has started.
    Even now - there ia no problem with WinXP! The problem is ONLY on Win7.
    I checked we have no duplicate CDOEX and CDO dlls and even I re-registered both dlls.
    It does not seem to help.
    We work with DST disabled and it will not help!
    The problem is mentioned a lot but I seem to be unable to find a usefull answer.

    Hi Marcel!
    You should call in and open a support incident on this issue, as this issue is too involved to adequately work over a forum.
    That being said. I don't know if the script could\would have caused this issue. Do you have a Win 7 with Office 2010 box that you haven't run the script on? Are you seeing the issue from a Win 7 box that hasn't had the keys\values set?
    After checking out the keys\values the script sets and what they do, I'd then need to see a repro of the issue to make sure I understood exactly how the appointment was created and when the shift in time occurred.
    To dump an item's properties, you can use MFCMapi to access the item in the Exchange folder and save off the properties. Or OutlookSpy to go in through IMessage on the item and save the properties off as a txt file.
    At least you have the issue narrowed down to the Win 7\Outlook 2010 machines. Being that the situation you describe sounds like the machines are using the DST rules, I would begin by making sure that DST is definitely being disabled.
    Go into Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
    Add a new DWORD value with the name "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet" --Set its value to "1". Which equates to "Disabled".
    You can see more of an explanation of the setting here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/3e5adc56-7580-497e-a972-81d3b25a3e57
    Marcel, I don't like asking people to open support tickets. The whole purpose of the forums is to learn\share information and to help resolve\figure out
    what is happening.
    Sadly, in a case like this where the results don't match what is being done, we're probably looking at something in the environment on the Win7\Outlook 2010 machine, something external (app, device, etc) modifying the item, or the application not respecting
    the machine's DST settings.
    Were I to get your issue: I would start by seeing how many and who is affected.
    You've narrowed this to Win7 w/ Outlook 2010. Are all Win7\Outlook 2010 machines affected? --If the script is not run, and you set "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet" to "1" manually, do you have the issue?
    Does anyone on the machine have the issue? --Have a working user logon to the Win7\Outlook 2010 machine and configure an Outlook profile and see if the issue reproduces.
    Is the affected user connecting to their Mailbox's Calendar from any other machines\clients? Devices? What about Delegates or people who have been granted access to their Calendar?
    If all the settings are showing DST disabled, but Outlook still puts the Appointment an hour off then we would likely want to get an iDNA trace while the issue was reproduced. The iDNA would allow us to track all the calls\functions Outlook 2010 is making
    up to and including the time shifting an hour off.
    At this point, I literally have nothing else to add or share with you. Please call in and I assure you we will help you to resolve this issue.
    Happy Easter to Everyone!

  • Incorrect VBFA entries for SO - PO document flow

    Hi,
    We are using a Third Party Sales orders delivery. I am facing a peculiar problem.
    Sales Order Created -> PR -> PO Created
    After PO is created, user has altered the Material Number and Ref. PR document number in PO for two items. That means the items were swapped (Ex. Items 220 & 230)
    GR is finished with confirmation from third party.
    When I see the SO document flow for each item say 220 - its shows both the PO items (220 & 230) actually it should be only 230 item inPO. The same case in the document flow of SO Item 230.
    Is there any program which corrects the incorrect VBFA entries for SO - PO flow. Already tried with program SDVBFA21 and its not working.
    My system is: ECC 6.0
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode
    http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
    I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
    In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
    It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
    I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
    This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

  • Iphone 5s calendar not accept entries after ios 7.1 update

    after ios 7.1 update the iphone 5s calendar not accept entries but will accept entries from sync with outlook connection via my MS desktop outlook

    So, sometimes you discover a "fix" totally by accident. I tried the following and it's worked for me 100% of the time so far. Any entries I make using this have appearded on my iPhone and on any device where I view my calendar. Hope this helps others: 
    Open your calendar and then view it in the "month view";
    Tap the hybrid view icon which is at the top to the left of the search icon at the top right of the screen; you'l see a list of the days activities at the the bottom of the screen.
    Now, tap the "+" icon at the top to the right of the search icon. This will allow you to type in the event, time, date, etc that you want to enter.
    Click "done" at the top right when finished. Now, you should see the event that you just entered at the bottom of the screen under the days activities. That should "stick" even if you close the calendar, or whatever. When I checked, it also showed up as it should on other devices. You can edit events, delete them, etc--it's worked for me.
    I'm not sure why this worked--or what it's the only way to be able to enter an event since the move to iOS 7.1--but it's working for me--so why ask why??

    hello, can i taken over the entries from an old calendar to a new calendar? example entrie from 2013 to 2015?

    Duplicate the calendar, go to the Calendar Settings and change the year to what you want.  Text entries to individual dates will remain but any photos added to a specific date will not.   Photos added to the photo page for each month will remain so you will need to delete them from the page and calendar if you want new ones.
