Tonight / this morning is daylight savings time for me [Nova Scotia] and my phone is acting weird. It didn't move the time automatically [even after reset]. I had to move it myself. However, now in Atlantic Standard Time, my phone is reading every event in my calendar an hour off [earlier]... Google calendar is accurate in its web version on my laptop.
In order to have an accurate calendar on my phone, I had to choose a different time zone and manually set the time.
Anyone else have this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Same I am in NS just go into the settings and change the time to the correct, my calender still shows the same times so it is good, just the clock needs to be updated manually.

I changed the time automatically, but all my events are still off [1hr early] in Atlantic Standard Time. Still accurate on Google.
Talked in person to another user. We both neded to set time manually and calendars are off. My phone is now set to Greenland time to have the calendar times accurate . Help?
just noticed my calender is missed up too, i guess it is Greenland for me lol
Any further thoughts on what's wrong with our phones / calendar sync?

Is there a way to have more than 1 calendar event show up on the home screen like there was for the Touch Cruise?
thanks for your help!
Maybe the same as SPB Diary so like 31 days???
I've been looking for a way to show more calendar entries on the home screen too. Haven't found anything in any of the options or settings. Maybe in the registry?
Dunno either but will be watchingthis thread with anticipation !
1. Is there a much better calendar that can be installed and totally take over the existing calendar (even show events on the home screen)
If not, anyone know how to stop the calendar going straight into Agenda view when u hit calendar on the home screen. Ive set it so it shows in Month view as default. But this only works if you run calendar in Programs. If you run calendar via the home screen - it still takes you to agenda view. Even if I have an event there I still prefer to go to Month view
the calendar ONLY shows today's appointments.

Not even that. Sometimes it only shows the next appointment, sometimes it shows two. I haven't figured out what the second appointment has to be in order for it to be shown. Maybe only "busy" status? It's weird. I wish it could show upcoming appointments like the regular Calendar today item.
In the manual it says that it will only show 1 all day appointment and up to 2 timed appointments. I've found the first timed appointment always shows, but sometimes getting the second to show up is a problem. Don't know if it's status or time.
Sure there is, have a look at the freeware TodayAgenda
With the main clock minimized, the TouchFLO should show up to 4 events.
Hopefully this will work in the next version.
I'm looking for the same. (Thanks search function!)
I agree it shows only one full day appt and one timed in my case. I didn't find any tweak.
Hi,
TF3D shows 1 all day appointment and 1 or 2 appointments. It shows 2 appointments only if the first is already started. So the actuel started and the next to come.

This app only changes the default links that TF3d connects to - not the look of touch flow. I.E. if you install Pocket Informant (which is excellent by the way) it will now link to that rather than the default WinMo calendar.
One compromise to improve quick viewing of calendar, tasks etc is to install Second Today and then a today plugin such as Pocket Breeze.
Hi I am actually wondering if Calendar is able to show the next upcoming appointments that is due in a few days time. My appointments will only show if the appointment's timing is on the following day.
this seems to be one of the most complained about short comings of tf3d. thought HTC would have addressed the issue already.
think I must have spent my first day owning a diamond crawlingthrough the registry looking for a value to increase the may appointments.
sighz. So no tweaks to display the upcoming appointments eh?

By using SecondToday, is works perfect. You just need to tap & go instantly. Mentioned by earlier post by "ericsson68". Maybe more convincing by looking at the following screenshots. Click on the lower left will bring you to Second Today screen. Click OK return to 3D TouchFlo screen. Isn't that amazing . . .
Hi Guys,
I updated to FroYo on my N1 and everything is working perfectly except for my exchange calendar. It is showing all my appointments a day early.
All my emails etc are correct time. My phone shows correct time. All the appointments from google account show on correct day.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Bumping. Hmmm either no one has the problem or no here is using exchange on FroYo?
working fine for me.
Calendar sync is working perfectly for me - Happy Camper over here!

I'm experiencing the same problem but only for "All Day" events.
I've got the same issue for all-day events... Something occurring on say the 25th of May would be shown as both 24th & 25th. Hopefully they'll release the source code soon and we can fix it!

check time zones and daylight savings on both the computer and the phone, I've seen that happen in the corporate world when an all day event is entered in eastern and someone looking at it from central time zone sees it over 2 days
Same problem here only with "All Day Events" - they appear one day earlier. It is possible that since my exchange server is in the UK and I work in China - the 7 hour time difference may be the factor - possible, but I doubt it since others are experiencing similar problems. When I open these events on my phone, they show that they span over midnight.
All Day Events created on the phone appear just fine - both on Outlook and the Phone.

I had the same problem.
It was a time-zone problem.
Thus my clock was indicating the right hour, somewhere in settings my time-zone was incorrect.
I changed it and in a second, everything came back to normal schedule.
Hope this helps.

My outlook client and phone are on the same timezone. If I create an all day event on the phone, it shows properly both on the phone and outlook client. If I create an all day event via outlook, it shows properly on outlook, but on the phone it is behind by 1 day. It very well may be a timezone or setting issue - but I can't find any options to put it right. Suggestions? I have checked the settings via Outlook Web Access and those are also set same as my outlook client.
My work around now is to not set all day events, but rather set their time - at least now I can see the event on the day it was intended.
I added some screenshots to clarify. I created an all day event via Outlook Web Access (my notebook is at the office) - Vacation set for 3 JUN (all day). When my phone syncs, it appears as an all day even on 2 JUN. It does not appear to matter if my OWA timezone settings are set for GMT or +8 HRS like here in China.
What are your reminders set to? I don't use them on my all day events, and set them all up using my exchange email account on my work computer (when I get my schedule, I add it in right away... also always adding in other things, such as testing/training reminders, client call backs, etc.)

Thanks... that was my first thought as well, but looking at the activesync data sent, the server is using the correct timezone:
I.e. I'm currently BST (GMT+1), and I've added an all day event for the 2nd:
Code:
<POOMCAL:Subject>
Testing
</POOMCAL:Subject>
<POOMCAL:StartTime>
20100601T230000Z
</POOMCAL:StartTime>
<POOMCAL:EndTime>
20100602T230000Z
</POOMCAL:EndTime>
<POOMCAL:AllDayEvent>
1
</POOMCAL:AllDayEvent>
But the phone shows that as being for the 1st in the agenda view, and if you click on the appointment, it says Monday, 31 May (!!!) - Tuesday, 1 June. I can't begin to think how it's getting that from the above activesync transmission... :-s
Just checked my original report to Google and that's now been updated in an encouraging way:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8529
The dates from facebook that go into my calender are showing up in my calender a few hours off. Ive tried other calendars, and it doesnt seem to help. Right now im using Pure Calender. An event on facebook that starts at 4pm is showing up on my device as 9am. Anyone know whats going on? Ive already tried messing with the timezone on my computer and facebook.
It's a timezone problem with Facebook. The only solution I've found is directly importing my FB events to google calender and just getting them from there.
How do you import the facebook events into google? I think I need to mention that the times only show up incorrect when they are on a widget calender that I have placed on my home screen. The actual calender itself shows them correctly, just the widgets ive used show them hours off.
I have this issue when syncing the TouchWiz calendar with Google calendar. My times is off by one hour, so I checked the timezone settings on both the phone and google's, but none of them were the issue. I still haven't found a solution.
I also replaced the Touchwiz calendar with the stock android calendar, but I still have the same issue.
Any other ideas?
I have same issue on my HTC Desire (2.2). Would be cool if Facebook added time-zone functionality for their events, or if someone made it possible to chose an off-set on your device for Facebook events before importing them into calendar.
You can export Facebook events and/or birthdays and import them into Google calendar with FB application called Fdcal (it has time-zone option). Application is not working flawlessly, I got my events to show into Google calendar, but couldn't export birthdays for some reason.
But this will not solve your issues, because there was no way I could get those events to show on my phone. In Gemini calendar you get an option to check on those additional calendar subscribed on your Google one, but they don't show in my phone either for some reason.
The only workaround I found so far is that once those event show in Google calendar, you can easily duplicate them (save them as Google calendar entries), and those will show once the sync kicks in.
I'm waiting for someone to come up with easier solution

i'm having the same issue, the event is 8 hrs late when it appear in my SGS calendar
Has anyone already solved this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my SGS and the XXJPO firmware.
Well I haven't done anything, but problem IS solved on my HTC Desire for quite some time now. Can't say exactly when it was fixed (or if it was fixed by HTC or Facebook), but event times in my stock calendar that is synced with Facebook are now ok.
On my Touchwiz-Calendar it's working fine, too.
Just in every calendar widget I tried so far, the facebook events are shifted by one hour.
So I am in the time zone GMT+1 but the event gets displayed like I would be in GMT+0.
As a workaround I switched the time zone in my phone to GMT+0, so now the times for the fb-events are correct, but this is causing other problems now.
When I open calender and switch to month view, I try to select a future date for which I have nothing scheduled and instead of going to the day I selected, it goes to the last day have something scheduled. Does that make sense? Anyone else find this annoying ?
Yep - happens here also
I work night shifts and want to figure out how to get the times to show up on the lock screen instead of Wednesday - Thursday as I don't work the same times everytime.... :/
Doesn't happen to me - when i press future date from month view calendar, it goes to the future day i selected.
Calendar option: Windows live is ON
phone name and model: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.07004.0
FW Rev#: 2250.09.12302.728
Same as BlueGreenWhite, doesn't happen on mine. When i select a future date from Month view, it opens up that date.
It depends whether you are in a day or agenda view (before accessing the month view). If you are in a day view it'll go to the selected day, if you are in agenda view it'll go to the next day with appointment which makes sense as days without appointments aren't displayed in agenda view.
There you go, Mystery solved
Thanks, makes complete sense
Calendar working good.
I sync with Gmail Contact and Calendar. Everything works fine except that the Birthdays recorded into Contact cannot be show/sync on HD7 calendar.
Thanks for the tip, it does now make sense!
Another problem I have just found, after one month has passed calendar appointments disappear from handset calendar (not reoccuring ones) but remain OK on Windows Live Calendar on PC/in Outlook. This is a problem for me as I like to keep all my past appointments with me on the handset.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

I wouldn't call that a problem. Why is it so important to have past appt's on your calendar?
Past appointments are important to keep on the handset as sometimes I need to refer back to certain dates in meetings.
Past Calendar is IMPORTANT

Yes. Agreed. Past calendar is very important when you need to trace back your appointment.
I do have the same problem, I think something wrong with the Sync . . .
Under Windows Live (Primary), the setting only allow to check/uncheck the Mail.
Under Gmail, the setting allow to check/uncheck the Mail, Contact & Calendar.
Sometimes can sync and sometimes can't. Waiting for the FIX from Microsoft.
Yes, I am hoping this will be fixed by Microsoft in the next update. Will be most dissappointed if it is not.
On a recent trip, with the autoupdate time on, the phone time changes correctly to the current time zone. However, every calendar appointment changes by the offset from the original time zone time to the local time. For appointments, reservations etc. this requires you to remember the timezone and time of the appointment as opposed to what the calendar shows (i.e., meeting at 3 p.m. which is now showing as 4 p.m. since you moved from CST to EST). Samsung confirmed that this is the case and had no workaround. I see this with other Samsung phones going back to 2008. It looks like you can either have accurate time or a hosed calendar. Is there a fix other than using some other calendar or synching to to some other calendar?
Have you tried creating the events on your google account, instead of the phone's "My Calendar"?
Thanx but no, I am looking to use the phone and its calendar only.
