daylight saving times causing problems

I have a cingy 8525...
Is anyone haveing problems with using activesync and outlook calander?
All of my holidays that occur during daylight savings time that appear in my outlook are 1 day off on the 8525. Independance day (4th of July for us Yanks) shows up on the 3rd of July on the 8525, It apprears fine in outlook on my PC. Halloween, which is on Oct 31 -and shows up on the 31 in outlook, show up as Oct 30th on my 8525.
Thanksgiving, which is after DST is fine.
It looks like the appointments end up 1hr off. pushing the holidays back an hour to the previous day. When I create appointments during DST, They are an hour off.
I have checked pc that I sync with and DST is turned on. Outlooks is configured to use DST also. Any ideas?

No solution from me.. but oh.. thats the cause of it. I started to notice I have birthdays 1 day off. Anyway, now you know you are not alone.

This is a known WM5/ Outlook/ Active Sync/ DST etc issue
If you google on Daylight Saving bug wm5 you'll find lots of sites/posts
Unfortunately there appears not to be one single solution or any solution for all.

Over on microsoft's forums, They suggested it was a problem with time being updated by the tower. I turned off automatic tower updates and the problem went away. This morning I turned it back on and re-tested and things seemed back to normal. I think cingy was doing something to the tower that was causing the handset to ignore DST.
Is there a way to log what is being updated when the handset receives the updates.

Problem with clock sync

Hi guys, I have problem with clock syncing +1 hour everytime I connect to active sync. I'm pretty sure this got to do with daylight savings as the problem occur a week ago after daylight savings. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

Daylight Saving Time recurring event issue

Has anybody else had the issue where recurring events are misplaced by an hour once DST has passed. It is showing correctly on the web, but not on my phone.
Does anybody have a fix for this as Google seem to be ignoring everybody's plea's in the help centre.

it happened to me that all birthdays were 1 day before the date >.<

[Q] Time Zones Don't Match

Hi there, I just sent a message on Google Talk to a friend, at 5:25pm, there reply came back with a time stamp 4:27pm, so appeared above the message I sent?!?!?
I noticed something similar on a calendar event. My shift in the calendar looks to be 7am to 4pm, which is an hour early. When I tap it, still 7-4, when I press details it finally says 8 to 5, which I know it to be.
Any ideas what is going on? This is a rather major issue if I don't know what time meetings are booked!
Thanks.
**EDIT** Okay, silly me, it looks like it might be as simple as I was set to GMT not BST... Quite why in one view it showed 8am and others it showed 7am seems a little odd...

Mine was showing the correct time but an hour wrong for timezone after initial setup, despite me choosing the correct option at the time. Was resolved by going into settings, date & time, and choosing (for me) London, UK, which then correctly set the timezone as GMT+1 (British Summer Time). I also then had to correct the clock by an hour.
I think that during initial setup it doesn't take into account the difference between BST and GMT for UK users, and sets it to GMT regardless.

[Q] NS4G ICS 4.0.4 OTA Exchange Services 3hr batt life ?

Since the OTA update to ICS on my NS4G, my phone is warm to the touch constantly and the battery only makes it 3hrs now.
The battery data shows it is Exchange Services that is the culprit.
I've run it on push, 15min, 30min, 1hr updating with no improvements.
I've rebooted the phone many times, removed the battery a few times, still an issue.
Wi-fi was already set to off unless plugged in.
All my other apps, FB, Twitter etc are all set to poll either manually or at the longest optional intervals.
I'm configured basically the same way I was with the initial build that used to last me most of a day without issue.
I pretty well have to keep Exchange for work reasons or I have to carry a second phone.
Anyone else seeing this same issue? I basically have to leave the phone plugged in all the time.

double spaced?

Buy 2 more batteries plus a wall charger... that's the only solution I've found for mine.
Although my phone last 7/8 hours... (24 hours = 3 batteries for me), try with a different battery and look for high mAh!!

I disabled the Exchange account and rebooted
Going to see if removing the Exchange account will stop the issue. If it does, I'll try re-adding it and see if it continues.
I'm hoping that the migration of the account may have fouled something up. We'll see.

Nice deal:

This is a known issue for a while it seems
From Google "ics exchange services battery drain" I found out this is a long standing known issue they have not yet fixed.
I've fully disabled the Exchange Services under the app manager for now.
It looks like that unless Google comes up with a fix, ICS just may not be a platform to use if you need access to corp Exchange services over an Android phone.
Thanks for the charger suggestion, I'm just afraid I might break the flimsy battery cover on this phone if I had to swap batts all the time.

You can try freezing exchange services, through the manage apps tabs in the settings.

Hello all.
My Exchange Services are using around 3% of battery, on ICS 4.0.4.
I think that battery consumption could be affected by traffic, settings and Exchange version too.
For comparison I have around 40 emails per day, and very few calendar and contacts changes. My settings are to push sync email, contacts and calendar.
My Exchange version is 2007 SP2.

It may be the Exchange version
I'm unsure what version Exchange they use here, but it's very old. Via OWA under options there is nothing about Active Sync as was given as a suggestion to check for possible multiple account registrations under Options -> More Options -> Phones.
Now that I've disabled Exchange Services completely through the app manager, the phone is behaving normally again. That's a plus at least.
I had all the sync for mail, calendar and contacts configured when it was running. The calendar for me is actually more important than the mail was. Bummer.

Most business would not approve or allow but I have a 2nd Gmail account that I use just for work calendar. I have the Google calendar sync installed on my work system to sync my outlook calendar. Maybe an option for you.
