Re: Calendar appointments off 1 hr. -- this is absolutely driving me to drink!
 

For what it's worth ---> after doing a hard reset on my phone (for other reasons than this) I did the following and my appts are all fine

1) apply DST fix to the PC
2) made sure my Default Location (Setup Wizard) AND my Time Zone (Clocks and Alarms) on the phone were *both* set to the same time zone as the syncing PC
3) Did the active sync

I guess if the phone and the syncing PC were/had to be in a different time zone I'd have to be concerned about the "auto network time sync" option, but since in my case they don't, I'm not concened

Keep us posted. The problem seems to be that using these various "tricks" one can get things working right. But they will then spontaneously revert back to where they were, and nobody has figured out what triggers this.

Mine just once again reverted. I kept Auto Network Time Sync enabled, changed to London/GMT, then changed back to Eastern, and my times were once again corrected. So keeping Auto Network Time Sync doesn't seem to be the trigger factor.

But I have zero confidence they will stay this way...

Has anyone submitted the issue to M$ yet and have an open dialog? What if anything are they saying about this issue. I too don't understand why only some of us are having this problem.

I recently got the TP2 (Verizon) and I was looking forward to sync my calendar with Microsoft Outlook; HOWEVER, after spending several hours trying to figure out why my dates were an hour off and holidays were off....sheeesh, i'm ready for a drink too!! This would appear to be a simple fix for Microsoft. Any solutions yet? Besides getting another phone. Thanks

Here's an idea ---> is it possible that the problem comes from a cell phone tower that has it's own "clock" set wrong (right time, but wrong time zone) and that every time the phone syncs time to that tower it screws up appointments on the phone?

Re: Calendar appointments off 1 hr. -- this is absolutely driving me to drink!
 

I'm skeptical. It's certainly possible that this would happen very occasionally, but my understanding is that the clocks on the cell phone towers are a key part of their billing system. If so, they would keep them sync'd pretty religiously. I don't think that could explain a problem as widespread as this one.

I can tell you for a fact that this was a problem in my area when we first went 3G, it lasted for around 8 months before they fixed it.

On a different note I see that my PC at home (win7 64) downloaded another DST patch with yesterdays Microsoft patches!

Re: Calendar appointments off 1 hr. -- this is absolutely driving me to drink!
 

My problem is that, even though I uncheck automatic time zone synching, after a soft reset it is checked again. Anyway to prevent that from happening?

Hi, everyone. I'm a noobe, but just wanted to chime in on this one. I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2, and have had this problem from day 1. As a business user who has to make appointments in the future, I find this unacceptable as do all of you. I've done many searches on different forums, and no one seems to have the right fix, just work arounds like here. I just can't believe this is not a priority issue for Microsoft, and I can't believe the silence!

I have what's supposed to be the current ultimate business phone, and can't rely on it! I have nothing to offer here other than the fact that I have to believe everyone is having this issue, and I have to believe if we all keep the pressure on, someone over there at Microsoft has to find a fix.

Thanks to all of you for keeping this string alive!

I have the TP2 and my wife has the Palm Pre. I'm certain her Pre syncs with network time, but the problem only exists on my TP2. We both run the same version of Outlook 2007 (with SP2) on our separate desktops and sync with the same Exchange service. Scheduling an appointment for March 15 that includes both of us results in correct synchronization between both desktop Outlook clients and her Pre, but my TP2 is off an hour. I've been a loyal WinMo supporter for a very long time (love the control we can take over our devices), but am really starting to wonder if it's worth it. It's starting to seem like it's not...my time is too valuable to keep wasting hours trying to get these simple things working properly (especially when the time is wasted with no successful results).](*,)
