[DST] Check Your Calendar Appointments!

**[sammich]** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-10-2010, 01:51 PM

To discuss the solutions to this issue, please see this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=110285&page=5

I am asking EVERYONE to check the times on their phone calendar appointments occurring AFTER 3/14/10. It appears many users' phones are showing appointment times after 3/14 as 1 hour earlier than they really are. I have noticed my phone is now showing all-day appointments as occurring 1 day earlier.

I am trying to get an idea of how many users are affected by this, so please post here if you have this issue, and use the thread I linked to above to discuss the fixes. THANK YOU!

Additional notes:
On Microsoft Outlook and Exchange, the appointments are showing all the correct times/dates, however when I sync, my phone shows anything that occurs after DST incorrectly.

confirmed same here. Hourly appointments on device show 1hr before. "All-Day" appointments are showing 1 day before. wow.

Daylight savings starts on the 14th of march. Maybe that has something to do with it.

All my appointments after 3/14/10 are earlier by an hour on my phone, while Outlook displays the correct times(I sync via Exchange OTA).

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
