I haven’t been following your problem specifically but it may be unrelated to the original topic of this thread.
I ran into a similar issue because I travel between TX and NY (central and eastern time zones) often and didn’t have my time zones strait between my computer, outlook, and phone. If I made appointments with outlook set to EST and then displayed them in CST they were an hour off and all-day appointments would display a day early because they would start 11pm on the previous day instead of 12am on the correct day. After doing all of the following, there was some weirdness that didn’t fix itself until a hard reset and re-sync from scratch. Confirm the following if you haven’t already.
- On your PC double click you clock then -> time zones -> make sure zone is set to central (GMT-6) and adjust for DST is checked.
- In outlook go to Tools -> Options -> Calendar options -> time zone -> make sure zone is set to central (GMT-6) and adjust for DST is checked.
- On phone make sure zone is set to central (GMT-6) and adjust for DST is checked.
- Install the MS patch in this thread
If everything looks correct on your PC but is still messed up on your phone, it may be one of the many faults of active sync. I would recommend deleting all of your appointments from your phone and re-syncing from scratch but I am not sure how to do this safely without active sync doing something stupid like deleting all of your appointments in outlook.
You could try this (at your own risk):
- Disconnect phone from PC
- Confirm all of time zones are correct per above
- backup your phone using PIMbackup
- use PIMbackup to delete all of the items that are synced with outlook. Click options -> delete all -> appointments, tasks, contacts,… where applicable (i.e. I don’t sync my contacts with outlook).
- Then in active sync go to file -> delete mobile device to break the association with your phone so the stuff you deleted doesn’t get deleted from outlook also.
- Then re-sync from scratch the way you did when you first got your phone.
