Thank you SO much for your post! I didn't upgrade from my Touch Pro to a Touch Pro 2 until Fall, 2010, and I didn't have any problems with the calendar until the change in daylight savings time this spring (2011). As soon as the time change occurred, all of my appointments were 1 hour late (and this impacted more than 300 appointments!) I spent more than an hour on the phone with someone at Sprint Tech Support who told me he had never heard of the problem before, and his suggestions (rebooting, removing battery and rebooting, turning synch on and off, etc.) didn't help. He then suggested I manually change all of the appointment times, but I didn't consider that an option, especially since he couldn't guarantee I wouldn't have the same problem in the fall, when the next DST change takes place. Installing the DST patch I found online later didn't work for me either, and I've been inputting all future appointments an hour late, with the correct time typed in next to the title of each appointment.

As soon as I tried your suggestion, and changed my zone from the correct US zone to Lima/Bogotoa GMT-5, everything synched up perfectly. All old and new appointments are showing the right time.

Blessings to you and this forum -- I am VERY grateful for this simple workaround!
