Wrong Date - Touch HD General

On my HD calendar Good Friday is shown as the Thursday before, Easter on the Saturday and Easter Monday on Sunday. Also a few other national holiday are a day earlier. Christmas and New Year are OK. I syncronize it with Outlook 2002 on my PC and the dates there are correct.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Solution
After a few hours of fiddling around I did get it to work. I am not sure what exactly did it but here what I did: first I downloaded the latest DST patches from Microsoft for both the HD and Outlook 2002. At this point after syncronizing still the dates were right on the pc and one day early on the HD. Then I clicked off the "adjust for dst" on the pc which now caused Outlook to display the holiday on the right date AND one day early! At this point I deleted all the Holidays and the readded them with the dst off and synced. IT NOW DISPLAYED DATE CORRECTED. I am not sure if it would have worked without the patches but I am not touching anything any more!

I can imagine
I have a simular (?) problem:
On my calendar at work I have added a repeating appointment till 31-12-2009, every Tuesday, 10:00 o’clock.
I sync my HD with this exchange server.
Now, on my HD it starts ok, but per 31-3 it’s suddenly scheduled at 9:00. At 27-10 it shifts back to 10:00 …
Somehow DST seems to throw in an offset of an hour.
What can I say? I hope the people I have those appointments with, do have a HTC Touch HD (or windows mobile) as well

Calendar Sync = Bad Voo Doo

I can not say when this problem started, what is happening say I have a appointment in my Outlook 2003 Calendar for 2pm today, once it is Synced with (Active-sync 4.5), The event will slow up on my MDA calendar for Tomorrow at some other time seems to be something like 14 hours later!
Yes all my clocks are set correctly my timezones are all set correctly as well. If I enable the Set Device time feature in active sync it sets the time to tomorrow sometime as well.
I have turned that off and have set the MDA to get the time from the GSM Network and that is fine.
I switched over from using a hp-6315 and did not have that problem.
My rom version is whatever this file name represents
RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe I am using it on the Rogers Network in Canada. Works well otherwise.
Any Ideas would be welcome.
I know you have touched on it but just to be sure can you confirm that you have checked the timezones on both your Wizard AND your PC.
Yes sir at time zones set to EST GMT -5 / or -4 dst
Now the real curious thing is last I looked my phone, were it says upcoming appointments and it had me having a meeting on Wed Feb 28 at 12:45am, it was in my outlook at Tuesday Feb 27th at 10:30am.
This morning I looked at the phone and it was now showing the correct meeting time! WTF! Now I look at the phone and it showing Feb 28 12:45 again.
and I have not synced with my Desktop since yesterday afternoon.
Crazy!
Do you perhaps have the visiting option checked in the time settings? Maybe a reset of the phone will clear up this time sync issue.
Nope visting option not enabled, and the time remains correct on the unit, its the caladar items seem to move around!
However Syncing Time from the sets the time and day wrong.
Ok Given the last comment from az99, I decided for a sanity check to check the clock settings for visiting time.
It was definitely set to HOME and the HOME timezone was correct GMT -5 the visiting Time zone was set to Paris GMT +1, I then selected visiting time zone and changed it to GMT -5.
Then changed back to the HOME timezone.....
All the calendar entries are correct again. This is odd because even if it was using the Paris timezone it would have been off by 6 hours.
See how long it will last.

**** Edit**** i thought the fix worked, but my later appts were still off by an hour. hard reset and trying again.
Its possessed, yesterday I looked at my phone and it said my 10:30 appointment was 9:30am at least we are within the same day now.
Forgot my phone at home so I can not tell you what it says this morning...
same problem here with WM6 (Xplore 1.1) and AS 4.5b. Calendar items 1 hour back.
other WM6 rom was ok...
solution?
OK, I think the problem is with the GSM updating the time from the phone system. DE-select that. That is buggy, and depends on the tower you are near. If you are near a bunch it gets confusing for the phone.
After that, go to options in Activesync in your wizard and delete the connection to your PC. (Not while you are connected.) Delete your Wizard calendar. If you have memmaid delete your notifications. Soft - reset. On your PC, delete the mobile device. Then double check your PC and Wizard time and region settings. Then re connect and set up a new partnership. After it synch's, you should be all set.
Good luck,
'problem is with the GSM updating the time from the phone system. DE-select that. '
how do i change this? sounds like connection settings...
TIA
Sorry, I'm currently running a rom where that was left out. I thought it was in the phone settings but I'm not sure. Click through all the "settings" files and menus to see if you see it. Otherwise, maybe someone else has it handy?
Regards,
figured it out, for me i had 05 GMT bogota but whe ni went to -5 GNT Easter US it worked.
amazing!
still all -5 GMT so not sure if it's a WM6 bug?

Sprint Mogul - appointment time always off by 1 hour

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? )

TF3D does not update appointments - big problem

Hello @ all,
this is my first post and that is why I would like to say "hello" to everybody first
My touch HD arrived last week and I am very happy with it, but I do have a big problem that goes on my nerves!
When I add new appointments, TouchFlo3D shows the appointments just one day before, saying: Tomorrow:...
Ok, let's say, I have an appointment today at 7 pm and I had one this morning from 9 to 10 am. Now, it is quarter past three (where I live) and the Touch HD still shows me the morning appointment instead of not displaying it as it is already over.
When I now start the calendar and edit an appointment, as for example the evening appointment from today and save all changes, then TF3D updates and only shows the appointment at 7 pm.
Why doesn't it update the appointments by itself? It cannot be the intention to either restart the device or to edit something in the calender, can it?
yes, have the same probs.
Appointment from 9-10 o´clock and at 10:30 o´clock the appointment still at the home tab. The bigger problem is, when you are have the sound-option "vibrate on appiontments" active, the vibration is at 10:30 still activated without an appointment around 10:30
same problem here......
Damn...well, I do not have remind functions activated...but nonetheless, it is not acceptable the way it is.
But according to http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/forumdisplay.php?f=211 many german user do not have this problem. I'm suprised that it works in many cases correctly. So what could it be? I hard resetted the device three times already but no change.
same problem here. I checked the date settings (didn't change anything) and went back to the home tab though, everything was ok....!!!
It is annoying, but is corrected when I update and save another meeting, then the old meeting disappears finally from TF3D. Seems to be a problem updating between the Winmobile calendar app and TF3D. So either MS or HTC have to come up with a fix.
I've the same problem and i am a german user
Switching trough the tabs or reactivate Tf3D will fix it here.sometimes a restart from the device also works.difficulty to say
Appointments do not update
I have the same problem. I had an all-day event marked in my calendar for yesterday. This morning it was still showing on the TFL3D today screen.
I went into the calendar and came back out to see if the appointments would update, but they didn't.
Had to soft-reset for the appointments to update. Surely HTC don't expect people to soft-reset every morning so that the appointments update? Has anyone worked out a fix for this? Mr HTC, please can you fix this!
Qas
Same problem here.
If I close TF3D and load it again, the calendar is ok.

My HD with DUTCH language has the same problems After a few calls to HTC Europe in UK its now finally registered as a known issue and I'm assured that they work on a hotfix to solve this worldwide problem.
A temporary work-around is to programm a daily 'empty' appointment from 0.00 till 0.00 without any alarms or whatever. It will show up on your hometab like all the other appointments, but it will trigger it to refresh the data each morning the 0.00 passes.

One week visibility
Do you know if it is possible two have one week visibility for the upcoming events on the home of the TF3D instead of one day ?
I've the same problem and also with my mail. I let my device retreive mail every 10 min from an Imap account. But when I turn on the device then it sounds and vibrates that there is new mail. But with TF3d off it will ring as soon as my mail enters the box. So I think that TF3D has a bug with updating from the registry.
Another user with the same issue. And just like sstolk, I also noticed that emails and sms messages only update after I unlock (as in resume from standby) the device.
Another one and the same problem....
i have the same problem, i hope for a fix.
A possible (temporary I hope) solution is to rely on ActiveSync.
Create a fake exchange profile in ActiveSync and set it to update every 5 minutes (might create a connection, unsure). From what I saw so far, every "sync" forces TF3D to update. Might not be foolproof, but for now it has worked for me.
Ok, the last suggestion turned out to be false hope.
But I have a new theory. My TF3D calendar worked just fine for 3 days now (without any resets). What changed? I have not connected the phone to my PC during these three days. So the new theory is that when syncing stuff over activesync TF3D somehow fails to reconnect to the database - turning it off and on after a sync might perhaps solve the issue.
Still haven't found a permanent fix for this...
Anyone else experiencing it? Any idea how to fix it?
Let's hope they post a fix soon! If anyone finds a solution, please post it in this thread.

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.

htc hd 2 - Calendar problem ---- repeat event

I have just noticed this and a bit annoyed
I am setting up family/friends birthdays on my HTC HD 2 and ive noticed an error
HTC Calendar
Birthday say 18th December 2010
Repeat every 18th December
For somereaosn it won't show anything against this date in the month/week view.
To get it to work you have to go into the windows calendar under start etcand put it in there and then you can see it in the htc calendar
VERY STRANGE, CAN SOMEONE TRY IT FOR ME
Edit/Delete Message
same issue.
I set it up with the correct details, but didnt add the repeat.
It added it to htc calendar. then go and edit, adding the repeat, and it stays there.
Yeah tried that and it works but you shouldn't have to do this.

It was impossible for me to set and quarterly appointment. Any suggestions?
noticed the same, and found somewhat of a fix.
Set the appointment for the day you want it without repeat. then edit it and turn repeat on with the frequency that you wish. it should work.
Also, if you tried to put a repeating appointment and nothing appearead, check 1st of janyary 2011, with my phone i had all the failed attempts magically moved there.
I had a similar problem.
Tried to save a friend's birthday on December 15th. So it was an all-day event, recurring every 15th of Dec., status free. Result? I couldn't see it... I gave it up to 5-6 tries, as far as I remmbered.
However, I've later realised that all of the 6 or whatever shots were saved... on January 15th!
I've notified HTC about this. They said they'll look into it!
In my opinion, it's worth you'll let them know as well

Is there any way to quickly jump to a date? I can only scroll it day by day or month by month.

Another person with the same problem - a really annoying bug. As Rhyn0 said all the appointments have been created on the right date, just in January 2011.
This is with the 1.66 ROM - where do i send a bug report? - EDIT: emailed them about it.
same here, appointments are there (myphone and standard calendar recognize them) but htc calendar is not showing anything on that particular day.
if you add a birthday to a contact, that shows up where it should.

I'm sorry, what do you mean? most of my contacts have birthdays and I use b2c (birthday2calendar) to add them as appointments, which works fine, except that now I don't see them in my htc calendar (neither do I see manually added appointments). But they are there, so it must be a bug in htc calendar.
