[DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

[00_MACKIE_00]

Wow, I have seen this mentioned no less than 2 times in each major rom thread. One of them was by me. lol

you can check the other thread for more info but here is my experience and warnings
If you try the DST patch for your phone from microsoft I would delete all appts from your phone, apply the patch and then activesync (i.e. uncheck the sync calender in activesync- it will then clear from your phone-apply patch then re-enable and then sync again)
Otherwise you will end up like me with your hourly appts fixed but all the day appts shifted one day earlier!!

Honestly I am waiting to see what happens on sunday morning- maybe all those appts one hour early will show up corrected- if not I will do the procedure above again
One other warning about the patch- you will notice that when you open up that day you will first see the "hour early" time first and then it will quickly correct to the right time

All appointments remain correct on Exchange/Outlook and my phone after using the posted CAB....I remain connected "as items arrive" full time during business hours, so if it screwed anything up I would have seen it my now.

do i need to do this? because i don't use or sync with exchange/outlook and i currently don't have anything set in my calendar.

i guess the better question is, does everyone, in general, need to do this fix?

I sync with Exchange - and appointments that I entered in a few days ago for dates past March 14th are correct. Appointments that I made today for the future had the one hour glitch. I applied the cab mentioned earlier in this thread, edited the appointment on my phone to correct the time - and both the phone and exchange are in sync once again.

I have the problem too. Running Mr X's 2.5 ROM. I always assumed it will sort itself out after DST change this weekend.

I am going to assume that once the DST hits, it will work itself out!

* i hope *

Installed the update... Realized my Birthday events were all borked. Proceeded to spend the next hour trying to get myphone, outlook, and my TP2 in sync without duplicates and without b-days on the wrong day.

Finally got it, but it was a PITA for sure. Tried to use the birthday to appointment cab floating around here, but it displayed the b-days lastname, firstname on the events.

Thanks but no change, still 1 hour ahead for all apts after 3/14. I also sync with Exchange and looks good on Exchange, just the TP2 is screwed up!

My "ALL Day Event's" are one day earlier. For example St. Patrick's day on my TP2 is on the 16th and it says Easter Sunday falls on Saturday. All of my normal appointments appear an hour early as well..... Wtf?
