ActiveSync 'All Day Events' 1 day early on WM6

[Guest mattartist]

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.

i noticed the other day that all my calendar entries after march 31st are 1 hour ahead of the actual time. i set up my work shifts for the rest of the year using outlook 2007 on my pc then sync-ed with my device. my pc has the correct times but my device is 1hr fast during bst!!

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. :D

I also get this problem and only noticed it when I checked the bank holidays for Easter. Good Friday was in Thursday and Easter Monday was on Sunday. I also noticed that 2 weeks before the change to BST I had a notification on my phone to say that Daylight Savings had been applied, however there was no change to the time. I thought it strange but since it hadn't changed anything I just left it. When the clocks did go forward I noticed the time didn't change at all. I can't find any setting for DST or automatic clock change but I have checked that I am in the correct time zone.

Two weeks before?

Are you in the UK? Two weeks before the UK changed they changed their clocks in the USA.

If I was you I would check my regional settings.

I have checked, double-checked and triple checked and the Home is set to GMT London, Dublin. My Visiting (which is not active) is set to GMT-5 Eastern US. However if what you suspected was true then surely the time would have changed even if I was in US time zone?

Maybe I got the message based on my visiting time (even though it wasn't active) and that's why it didn't change on my clock but doesn't explain why a. BST didn't update and b. why the entries are a day early (I don't think all of them are though). I think I need more research on this....

EDIT: I've also tried setting the Visiting time to GMT and resynching with my XP laptop with Outlook 2003, this hasn't changed anything so far.

Strange! Try changing you 'Visiting' to GMT

Check:

Start->Settings->System tab-> Regional settings and make sure everything is set OK there as well.

I have tried the visiting GMT change but not selected.

Region - English (UK)

£, dd/mm/yy etc....

As far as I can tell everything is set to UK. Where are the DST options in 6.1? I can't find them anywhere.

I don't have a WinMo device with me. So I can't check. Sorry.

Thanks anyway. I'll check my 2003 device later as I don't think that has the problem. I can also check DST settings on there aswell so I'm not sure what happened with wm6.1 if they just enable it automatically or have buried the setting somewhere (or I'm just blind).
