HI guys,

I've got a TyTnII and ActiveSync it to my work PC's Outlook 2003 calendar and sync the contacts to my home Win XP Home PC. I've just noticed that All Day Events are showing on the TyTnII as a day early - i.e. a Monday event on work's calendar shows as Sunday.

I've searched on MOdaco and to my surprise couldn't find anyone with this problem. IT's a well known problem as illustrated in this MS forum, https://forums.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/...=0&pageid=0

It seems to only affect March-October entries. American posts refer to a DST patch that adjusts according to new Daylight Saving dates. I wonder if somehow my auto updates have downloaded this. Although I've checked everything is GMT London and UK based.

From others' experience it seems hard resets and reinstalling of software yields no fix at all. Although one person talks about unchecking all DST auto changes. I've yet to see if this works when I get to work.

But has anyone had this and know of anything more?

Cheers

Matt

Sounds very much like a BST propblem - is your date/time/region set correctly on both your phone and the PC?

The DST thing in the states is because they moved by one week when DST came into force and will not be your problem.

That happened to my appointments, and it was a result of Daylight Savings Time screwing things up, but it waas directly caused by having the "Automatic Time Zones" checkbox turned on on the phone. If you're lucky, you should be able to uncheck that box, verify that your time zone etc. is correct on the phone, and resync. I, however, had to make a backup of my phone using Sprite backup, then I hard-reset, restored the backup, but left out "Personal databases" from the restoration. I then made sure the Auto Time Zones box was unchecked, and synced with my computer. It was a pain, but it fixed the problem right up.

If you're using SPB Diary then that's where your problem lies. There was a bug in the current production build regarding the leap year and exactly the same thing was happening with my phone - recurring appointments were being displayed one day out.

If this is the case (you are using SPB Diary) you need to head over to the SPB Forum where they have a new build posted with the bug fixed. I installed it and it fixed the issue.
