**This might work for you**
Tried it several times and it worked
All Hero roms I've installed have had the -4hr timestamp issue. I initially thought it was a time zone issue but it wasnt so here's what I did...
1) Click the clock and manually add your city (if you haven't done so already) and delete all other cities
2) Go under settings --> date & time --> (uncheck) automatic --> Select time zone and select Azores (GMT +00)
3) Set the time to your current time and exit to the home screen
4) Click and hold to discard the clock
5) Re-install the clock widget and choose current city and voila!!
Let me know how it works for you
yea i've been doing this since the good old WM5 days. Works for me.
but yea this is a temp fix as your MMS will be off along. You can also mess up the calendar times.
Haven't experienced any calendar or MMS issues, will update if I do
Been testing this trick out with all hero roms I've installed thus far and its worked with all of them. 200 views and 1 feedback?
just tried it.. so far so good.. im in Brantford just south of you.. im using JacHeroski 2.7.4r2 and it work fine with it on my rogers magic
this fix works fine as long as your not using google calendar, if you are, you need to log into your calendar and change the timezone to match the timezone on your phone. then you need to adjust all of your appointments by 4 hours.

+1 Good call, was using my device calendar and hadn't tested with any sync source.
Hi all,
Having the same issue. Am in Pakistan but got my hands on a Orange Hero running the Orange stock ROM. Time stamp issue really fracked up the SMS! Just changed ALL timezones on Google apps, desktop and the Hero itself. lets see if this works.
cheers,

Hi just wondering if anyone can suggest to me any good calendar application?? Well here in Australia, most people get paid in every fortnight (every 2 weeks), and sometime even rosters are scheduled that way. I need something that can remind you every two weeks. I think the default calendar doesnt have that?? I think it has every third week?? every month?? Also is there anything that will sync with non google?? maybe like outlook??

im using ''pure calendar'' very happy with it
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.org-koxx-pure_calendar-qmwt.aspx
My vote is for Executive Assistant, it has a tabbed windows with calendar alongside missed calls, mails, SMS's and RSS's.
Can all the above do a reminding in "every 2 weeks"?? (eg. Every second Thursday??)
i prefer to use jorte

and yes, you can add reminders but max of 1 week
Suggest you have a look at Gemini Calendar - http://gemini-mobile.com/
I believe it has the feature(s) you're seeking.
Google calendar from your browser
How about setting up your repetitive dates from the computer? Google calendar will allow you to set up repetitions as you need them and the customisation of the events is better still than any app that I have seen. I use Pure Grid Calendar and that is still basing itself off of the phones default calendar. I have hockey training on a weekly basis but need to change the times on occasions and I find it eas.ier to do it from the computer as I will still need to check times online

Totally agree... the goggle calender on the PC is still the most versatile and you can set appointments or reminders to be weekly, fortnightly, 3 weekly or whatever you like.
+1 for Google Calendar.
It took me a while to work out how to do it, but basically you would set up a new event on the day you get paid, then choose "Repeats: Daily", then "Repeat every: 14 days". Simples!
The app I like to view/amend my Google calendar is Calendar Pad Pro. Awesome looking widgets for day, week or month which allow you to see what your appointments are. Can also set the start of the week as a Sunday (which is important for me). Even the free Calendar Pad had all the functionality I needed, but I upgraded to Pro because I wanted to support the dev.

or click week, and "Repeats every 2 weeks"
Is there a reg edit that ads a fortnightly repeat choice to the pull down menu in the HTC Calender? I had the option on the standard Diamond calendar but not on the HD2.
Work around - Fortnightly remiders/appointments
I've found the following Registry entries, but not sure if I'm on the right track, and don't know what to change it to anyway, but thought it might help someone with better knowledge than me ...
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla
AppointmentsEvent (13887035)
Calendar_Reminder (10)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Settings\Shortcuts\Default
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Cappointments
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Calendar
I have also found a work-around as I'm not using outlook on my PC so can't do it that way ...
in the TASK MANAGER you can set fortnightly tasks!

If you scroll to the bottom of the calendar entry on the phone you will see a drop down box for event repetition.

I need some help. I've had my phone for almost 2 weeks. Beginning a couple of days ago, my phone is erasing google calendar entries.
What's particularly strange is that when I enter google calendar entries into the phone, the entries sync with my google account. The entries remain visible on the google account, but are not visible on the phone.
If I enter the calendar entry on google directly, it will appear and remain on my phone. So the problem is strictly with google calendar entries entered on the phone. They sync and then disappear.
I'm having this problem as well, but only for one of my secondary google calendars. Very frustrating. I'm thinking that using stock calendar might fix this...
FYI I just took a look at mine... calendar entries created on the web but edited on the phone do not seem to be affected. Can you confirm?
I too am having a similar problem (I use Google Calendar on the desktop, and my Vibrant calendar is synced to Gcal as well). I haven't had time to test out all the permutations, but the basic issue is: when I "Edit" a repeating event on the phone, and then hit "Save," the event disappears instantly (from both the phone's calendar and desktop Gcal). It doesn't matter whether I actually made any changes while editing -- it's just the Edit and Save that does it.
Once or twice, the event has magically reappeared a little while later -- but generally it does not.
I have also had the opposite thing happen: I've edited a repeating event and ended up with a DUPLICATE event (also repeating) on the calendar -- same event, same details, just one day earlier than the "real" event (which is still there).
Don't know if this detail is significant (again, I haven't tested rigorously), but it has been YEARLY repeating events (birthdays) which have been duplicated, and MONTHLY repeating events which have been deleted.
The only "solution" I've arrived at is to only edit events (or at least repeating ones) from the desktop, and not the phone (...and hope this bug is fixed in an update?).
(By the way, all my events have been created on desktop Gcal directly; so I can't speak to how creating events on the phone may play into this.)
One thing that's actually worked for me is to rename the calendar my phone kicks out. I've found that when I do that, things magically reappear. Currently, I'm on #4.

Interesting, thanks -- can you elaborate? (I went to Calendar settings, but can't figure out how to change names -- there's just "My Calendar," which I don't use, and the Google calendar.)
Yup -- I actually changed the name in the desktop/web client, not on the phone. It took a bit for the updated calendar to push to the phone, but once it did, everything was peachy again.

tried this and no fixy...
Does anyone else have the same problem I'm having? You "Edit" a repeating Gcal event on the phone, and it just disappears (from both phone and desktop) when you hit Save? (Even if you made no changes?)
I'm sure everyone's probably aware of this, but you never know (it took me a week to figure it out)...
The Samsung Calendar defaults to "My Calendar" and not your Google Calendar like every other Android phone, so that any new event created is created in "My Calendar" unless you select to create the event in your Google calendar every single time you make a new event. This can not be changed and is the case EVEN IF THE CALENDAR IS SET TO NOT DISPLAY "MY CALENDAR." (which is, possibly, the worst case of software design I can think of in recent memory).
There is an easy fix for this: use pretty much any other of the many free or inexpensive calendar apps. The Samsung Calendar blows. And this is coming froma guy that generally likes most of the other Touchwiz stuff.
I assume other calendar apps will sync easy with Gcal (it's just ActiveSync, right)? Any in particular you recommend? Thanx
I've been using Gemini Calendar for a few weeks. Takes some getting used to and it kinda ugly, but it's got plenty of customizations.
Thanks to a lot of great information in these forums, I was able to get the Superclean 2.8 ROM [3.7.2011] installed.
But I am having one problem -- the calendar is not aware that DST begins this weekend. All of my calendar events this week are displayed correctly. All of the events next week are one hour off. I have calendars coming from multiple sources -- Google, my company exchange server -- but all of them have the same problem.
On the other hand, I'm not able to find anyone else reporting this issue, so I'd guess it isn't specific to the ROM itself.
But what could it be?
That's interesting... sorry i don't have an explanation for you.
But maybe it'll update once the clock updates via the satellite?
Cuz i know on my older phones (this is my 1st smartphone), the time didn't update for over 12 hrs if i didn't make or receive a call
Everyone has this issue!

There hasn't been a fix to this yet but it is inherent in your Google Calendar. Your Gmail calendar will have the correct times but when it syncs, the phone calendar must still be on the old DST or something. Hopefully it will correct itself this weekend. Shocked that no one has tried to fix it. Hard to find it in message boards but many others are having this issue.
Yeah, this is an issue independent of the SC releases. The calendaring app seems to be extremely dependent on correct time zone information and there seems to be a problem with using the Automatic network-provided values for date, time and time zone. When I turn off the Automatic network date & time and then select my time zone manually, my calendar events display correctly both for Standard Time and for DST. Additionally, any appointments I create for a period within DST appear correctly. This was not the case when using Automatic. If Automatic is selected the appointment time for an appointment scheduled in DST is advanced an hour when viewed in the web-based Google calendar.
This issue created huge issues for my wife who uses the Google mobile calendar heavily.
I have the same problem with a different twist. Most of my appointments were an hour off but some of them weren't. Now that DST has hit, most of my appts show the correct time but some of them are an hour off. It's hard to trust my calendar now.

I tested this issue in many ways. If you created an appointment in your calendar and have your Android calendar set as default, it won't change (I think). I created appointments on my computer in Outlook and when it synced to my Smartphone, it was an hour later. I just create all my appointments on my Android device and everything is consistant. Now after DST has occurred, unbelievably, everything is fine. I wonder now if we'll have this problem again when DST is over.
Sorry I couldnt reply to elelinux's original post of realsing the
[ROM]Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.0 Android 2.3.4 (2011-07-16)
as a newbee.
Like titled in this post, I've found at least three of us reporting the bug, could anyone including elelinux please help to figure this out? It seems already happended since a very old realse back to Feb this year...
an earlier one found here:

Hello,
I'm really happy with this Rom, thank you to all participating on it!
One issue I found:
I cannot create another calendar with the calendar App. I only have the Google-calendar which is synchronising fine with my Google-account, but I would like to have a second offline-one.
Any suggestions how to add another calendar?
(normally you do it in the calendar app with the dialogue "my calendars")
Cheers, Otze

Hello,
coming from Cronos 2.2.0.0 Sense Éclair, I am using this ROM for a few days now and I am very happy with it. The only problem I have so far is the calendar, the same like Otze in post 965. There is only the Google calendar but I need the local Android calendar. Is this a HTC Sense feature or am I doing something wrong?
Any hints are welcome.

So people just read and never reply...

Hi guys, it's really like this,
when you flashed the elelinux 2.3.4 ROM, by default the feature of auto sync is not automatically enabled(activitated?) after you setting up either gmail or corporate mail accounts. Before you enable, you can only find gmail calendar in any style of calendar or agenda application. Even when you click on the accounts and manually sync them will make no change. So to summar up, the only thing need to do, is to enable the auto sync feature at least one to let all of your calendar and agenda software aware that you have your own calendar besides Gmail calendar. And I dont know if this is a bug or not... Hope elelinux saw this post!
Glad you solve it!
By the way, if people didn't answer you, it's very likely they didn't know what was the issue..
