Sprint Mogul - appointment time always off by 1 hour - Mogul, XV6800 General

Hi all,
With my Mogul WM6 device, when I receive a meeting invite via email, WM6 Outlook will identify that as a meeting invite and allows me to open the email and click "Accept".
However, I noted that EVERY single invite I receive is always off by 1 hour. Example:
- meeting invite sent via Outlook 2003/2007 for appointment at 1:00 PM
- email invite received in Mogul as an email and when opened, appointment time is for 12:00 PM
- When I opened the same email invite in my Outlook 2003/2007 or GMail, the appointment time is correct (1:00 PM).
So the issue seems to apply to the Mogul only. I checked the following:
- timezone is correct
- Time Synchronization is NOT checked
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Login to Outlook Web Access and see what time zone you're account is set to.

Both Exchange (from Outlook) and Outlook Web Access (OWA) are set to the correct timezone (PST).

maybe?
This is just a thought ... could it be you need the Daylight Savings Time update? Maybe it got lost along the way or something ...

I'm wrong a lot, so this may not help at all.

there is also a Feb 2008 cab I have on my phone for DST update for leapyear. I could e-mail it to you if you want.

I installed the 2007 DST update, but I don't see it in the device Add/Remove program.
I PM'ed you for the 2008 DST update.

sent! hope it helps.

I applied the 2008 DST update and still no go. But I found something else:
I had my friend sending a meeting invite from his Outlook and lo and behold, the hour was NOT off by 1 hour. So it looks like my laptop / Outlook configuration is messed up.
However, I checked the Timezone on the following and they are all correct:
- Outlook 2003
- Windows
- Outlook Web Access
I wonder what else I need to check?

I've recently discovered the exact same problem on my Mogul. I've done some research and tried all the recommended updates, ect. but have had no luck in resolving the issue.
Any other recommendations beyond checking the time zones on both the Mogul and the PC, installing the DST update on the Mogul, switching back and forth between time zones on the Mogul?
Nothing seems to have worked so far.

same here on my ATT 8525 WM6.1
This is crazy. I dealt with the exact same issue last March with my Wm5 8125.
I can't believe that I'm having to go through this again with Microsoft. I'm sorry, but this is just a silly thing not to have fixed by now.
I was able to get around it a little by switching my time zone from plain Eastern - 5 over to Eastern (Indiana) -5.
I think they don't quite subscribe to the new DST dates so it's a temp patch until the rest of the country catches up on the normal date then I can probably switch it back. (Reminds me of The Langoliers - ever see that movie? )

Only 1 out of my 2 email accts retrieves new email messages?

Hello guys,
Currently I have an HP Ipag h6315 running Windows Mobile 2003. I have setup 2 emails account on my PDA ( Gmail & Bellsouth ).
I set both accounts to connect and retreive new messages every 2 minutes; however, only the account "checked" under ACCOUNTS will be the one that connects and retreive the email messages.
Shouldn't both accounts connect every 2 minutes and get new messages?
for example:
- If i go to inbox, it'll default to the inbox of whatever account i have checked under "accounts". if i check bellsouth, i'm able to see my messages from my bellsouth email address; however, after i close it and go back to the today screen, then only "Bellsouth" will connect and get new emails every 2 minutes.
- If i want Gmail to be the one to connect the every 2 minutes then i would have to go to inbox and check Gmail in order to gmail to be the one to connect every 2 minutes.
I dont know if that's the way its supposed to be, since i have set the option to connect every 2 minutes on both accts.
If anyone knows of this issue and happens to have a solution for it, i really appreciate it. Or perhaps is just a non-fixed bug.
thank you in advance,
Will V.
Unfortunately I think it's a bug in the Universal. I've been dealing with this problem since I got my Universal several months ago. Originally I thought it was a Windows Mobile 2005 problem, but I've had confirmation from several Wizard users (which is also WM2005) that their devices will check multiple accounts automatically.
For the time being I've gotten used to making sure my universal is always on my most important account and simply switching to my other account and manually checking it periodically. I'm hoping that this will be fixed in the next ROM upgrade.

Same problem for me in my Qtek 9000. Only the "active" account cheks mail automatically, no the others accounts. I´m asking for the solution in several forums but no possible. I think is a problem on WM5.
Actually it might be a problem with both WM3 (what i'm using) and WM5 (what you guys are using) kind of sucks to be having to switch in between accts in order get your new messages... if that's the case, that's a quality that the blackberrys will always outperformed the Windows mobile devices.
I'm sorry Will, I misread your first message. I believe it's a known issue in WM2003... it was supposed to be fixed in Wm2005, but there are still problems with the universal, at least.
Brett
I have the same issue.
Its a Pocket Outlook issue, as when I bought and switched to WebIS Mail, there wasnt an issue anymore. Works like a dream, no issues w/ it EVER and wil try to use wifi instead of gprs if you are on a wireless network, giving you a good speed burst w/ the universal...
Still on Pocket Outlook...is it possible to have a 'replay to' address specified for an e-mail account?
I can see that webIS Mail has the opiton but couldn't find it on Outlook.
thanks,

DST first timer, help please

Greeting,
Sorry if this has been covered but every search comes back blank.
I live in Perth Western Australia and we have just started daylight savings for the first time. Problem is when I move my clock forward the 1hr it keeps changing all my appointment times by 1hr also....which I don't wont to happen!
I assume I'm doing something wrong but can't see the solution, could some please advise how to change times without changing appointments.
Cheers all,
marto
A further update on this. O2 don't have any solutions, there advise is to "uncheck" the "Synchronize Mobile Device clock upon connecting" box which is under the Options tab in Microsoft Activesync.
The other strange thing is all dates in my Outlook calender since the commencement of daylight savings have moved themselves forward 1hr even though the time on my mini are still correct??
Perhaps microsoft have a solution or answers.
marto
Here in Europe DST starts on the last Sat/Sun of March and ends on the last Sat/Sun of October. As long as the timezone and regional settings are right the OS pops up a message asking the user for confirmation of the time change. Your PC must likewise be set accordingly for appointment times to be in sync.
I think this auto on/off of DST is built-in in the OS. Since it is the first time that Australia is using DST, I'm not so sure if would work for you automatically. You might have to manually advance the clock by 1 hour to both your unit and PC.
We've just started DST (Sydney, Australia) today and I noticed that my PC (Vista) changed automatically but my PDA (JasJam) updated with HTC WM6 didn't change. I can't find anywhere to sync the clock with the computer in Vista Mobile Device Centre and can't find anything on WM6. I did a sync and soft reset but it still stayed on non-DST time. I manually changed the clock and synced and the time stayed and my appointments stayed ok in Outlook but I'm not sure what's going to happen with my invitations to other ppl though.
Is there supposed to be somewhere to change the region/time to DST??

Appointments 1 hour off fix (maybe)

Good afternoon all,
I've spent most of the afternoon trying to resolve the problem of entering an appointment on the PC at 2:00PM and having it show up on the Device at 1:00PM.
First, a little background.
My Device: A T-Mobile MDA
My Device OS: Faria v3.3, All up to date
My PC: Windows Vista, (I don't want to, I have to)
My Office: Office 2007
In my testing, I noticed that any appointment I enter in outlook prior to March 4, 2007 shows up correctly, On March 4th or beyond, They show up an hour earlier.
If I enter the appointment on the device, It would show up correctly in outlook.
I tried the MS DST Patch, Didn't do anything.
I tried the HTC DST Patch, Didn't do anything.
I tried changeing my time zone to Indiana, Didn't do anything
etc, etc, etc...
Finally, I disabled DST on the PC by going into Control Panel, Date and Time, and clearing the checkbox for "Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time" and everything worked normally.
I'm hoping that someone smarter than I can tell us why this is happening, or at least come up with a better solution.
My biggest question is Why March 4th? I could understand March 11th, but the 4th just has me baffeled!!!
Also, has anyone experienced this with WM6? (or did Microsoft get this one right...HA)
Either way, I figured I'd post this here to help the many who have helped me.
Good Night and Good Luck
X2K
didn't work for me, I guess I'll just enter everything in on the PPC
there's a fix for that problem on ms mobile site for download
I didn't know that tool worked with WM6 I'm trying it now.
Disabling the auto update does work, if you disable and then reenable calendar syncing after you change the setting in the WMDC
the MS timezone tool from windowsmobile.com, reports install as unsucessful
but the Xevious2K method is working for me, we'll see what happens at daylight saving time
Timezone Problem
I had this problem. I made sure to change the timezone on PC and on the PPC to somewhere else and back and it seems to have gone away....
Of course this is after manually arguing with the device trying to figure out why it happened.. lol...
You did install all 3 updates correct?? That would be the PC update, MS outlook update and then the PPC update....
I spent a good, (or bad), three hours trying everything. I patched office, windows and WM5 and even tried WM6. The only thing that worked was disableing Auto adjust DST on the PC.
I will post an update next week after DST starts and let you all know what happened.
It doesn't suprize me that microsoft can't get their own systems to talk to each other. Working with their products everyday, I am amazed at some of the stupid things they do. But, I have to look on the bright side of it...Without Microsoft's ability to write software like they do, I wouldn't own my own computer consulting business.

Please help me with Calendar

I had the Calendar issue where holidays were shown one day too early - for example New Year Day was on 31st December. Somehow I managed to fix this by downloading a DST fix for Outlook and the PPC.
Yesterday I did a hard reset and I am in the process of loading everything back. I can't manage to fix the Calendar. Whatever I do it shows the holidays one day too early. The same fix is not working this time.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Joe
What about other appointments, does it show one day too early too ?
Have a read on this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx
Maybe you just missed a few steps or have to redo the whole thing.
HTH.
to azahidi - yes it affects all "all-day" appointments and holidays in the daylight saving period.
to izzyzc - yes that is what I did: removed the DST update from PC and the phone, removed and ended Active Synch relationship, connected the phone to the PC, installed the update on PC and the phone, set up a new relationship and synchronized the Calendar. Everything is OK now.

Exchange meetings from different timezones are on wrong day

Hi all,
Have done a search through the forum and have not seen anyone with this same problem. So thought I'd shout out to see if it is just me, or if anyone has any ideas on a fix:
My Hero syncs to my work emails and calendar via Exchange 2007 using the built in Exchange sync functionality (Work Emails I think its called).
I am in NZ but I work with a lot of people in the US and often have meeting requests that are set in EST.
Any meeting that is set to NZT comes cross to my Hero with the right day and time. BUT if someone has set the meeting to EST- the phone adjusts the time correctly, but the day wrong!
For example: A Monday 3pm EST meeting is 8am Tuesday NZT.
But on my Hero it displays as if the meeting is 8am Monday NZT.
You can imagine how frustrating it is trying to figure out which day is the correct day for meetings.
I previously had a WinMo device and it was fine- so it must be something particular to the Hero/Android.
Has anyone seen this before? Or have any tips about if there is a workaround/fix?
Yups, I have the same problem. No idea how to fix it. So I have to check it against my Outlook calendar just to be sure.
