Hi, I just got my qtek 8500 and wanted to sync my contacts from outlook. But after using ActiveSync (4.1.0) all of the birthdays on my smartphone are off by one day, when in outlook the dates are still correct!! I tried playing with the regional settings but that didn't help me. Please help......
Check the clock settings, as there is an option for the timezone under the screen that allows you to set the time.
I have checked the options, the timezone is exactly the same as on my desktop computer, but the birthday dates are ALL shifted by one day (all remaining calendar entries are correct!)
Any clues ?

Everytime I reboot my phone it screws up the time and data generally I lose 8 hours from the correct time it was set at before reset.
I have it set to Enable Autoupdate and it is set to the correct time
Hi, I've this problem too. So how can I solve this problem ?
Is it maybe a problem in the ROM ? Maybe can an update solve the problem ?
Thx in advance for help !
I "solved" it by disabling the "Automatic Time/Time zone" setting. (In Settings - Clock & Alarm - Date and Time)!
But I still had to manually remove all the duplicate entries...
that is normal you can test this on every windows mobile device (new and old version). it is a work by design error from MS.
the format in that the date will be saved is the problem but there is no way to change this.

I'm using the T-Mobile 2003 edition of the MDA 1. I've attached a screen shot (pc_capture1.jpg) in which you'll notice that my calendar reminders continually place bell icons at the bottom of the screen. The second screen shot (pc_capture2.jpg) shows that I've configured it to not show any reminders for calendar entries. I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of the bell icons that keep filling up my system tray.
Anybody know how to get around this?
Thanks very much...

Hi - I tried both programs as you suggested, yet I still keep getting my system tray filled with gold bells. Is that one of the things that those programs are written to remove?
Thanks again
Are you synchronizing with Outlook on a PC?
Are you creating your appointments on your PC?
Are the reimders on for Outlook on the PC?
These settings in your screen-shot apply as the default when you create an appointment on your XDA, but when an appointment is created on your PC, the settings there apply.
Just a thought.
Hi Brosenow -
No I'm not using Outlook on the pc - it's actually Steltor Corporate Time by Oracle, for my work's email system. It's a conduit that sends the appointments to the PPC. All appointments are created on the pc, with reminders on.
So it sounds like the reason this is happening is because I have reminder set on my pc. Is there any way to get the PPC to ignore that setting? I would think that if I tell the PPC not to show reminder than it just wouldn't show them.
Thanks again...
Greg.
Try this -
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
Select the event Reminders and de-select all options. I think that may do the trick. Of course, if you are using a profile program like PocketZenPhone, you will want to disable reminders in there as well.
Hope this helps!
Nope, it's already set that way. No luck. This is a strange one!
I have a user who's Eris has a recurring appointment that shows up 1 hour earlier than it's scheduled to be. He's syncing through Exchange and the appointment shows up at the proper time in Outlook, just not on his phone.
Manually changing each event works but if you try to change the entire series it stays at the incorrect time.
The originator of the appointment won't be back until next week otherwise I would have her delete the meeting and resend it. Any thoughts on what might be going on? All of his other appointments are on time. This seems to be the only one.

Maybe the time zone or DST is off on his phone?
I have the same problem as this with an HD2 running a Desire Android build (MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 [kernel: MDJ S6.1)
I have used HTC Sync to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts to my HD2. This is all OK but the appointment times in both Android and HTC sense calendars are showing as 1 hour early, i.e. Appointment with real start time of 10:00 shows as 09:00.
My time settings all appear to be OK, GMT+0, London for UK. Time is correct. Auto update is enabled and working.
What is more weird is that I have installed the Android version of Pocket Informant, as I use this in WM6.5.x mode, and this shows the times correctly.
I've searched forums for solution and found many fixes for incorrect GMT settings or DST problems, but these do not seem to fit with this issue as Clock times appear to be OK.
Not sure if this is a problem with this build, or a more general Android problem.
Any thoughts gratefully received.

Hi
My calendar stopped to sync from about Thursday or Friday, after I read something on Gsmarena about n security hole that was fixed.
Here is the exact problem:
All my appointments are still there when I log in Google Calendar using my PC, but there is nothing on my phone. My phone is 'blank'. Also, the when I open my calendar, it goes to Jan 1970. WTF?
But, when I open an appointment (on the PC) and change, say the name of the appointment, and save it, that specific appointment will sync with my phone. Does this mean I have to open all ten thousand appointments, one by one, change them and save them to sync with my X10 again?
Is it only me?
Any help please.

I had the same problem of the calendar not showing my events anymore a few days ago. I fixed it by wiping the data for Calendar storage with Titanium backup and letting my data be resynced again. You could also try clearing the data through Settings>Applications if you don't have Titanium backup.
Thanks!! that solved the problem.
I've searched everywhere and could not find an answer to a very simple question:
How to control frequency of synchronization for Mail/Calendar/Contacts for a Google account ??
For me, they never synchronize by themselves. They sync only by manual request.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Google accounts are push.... normally instantly, are you not getting your info right away?
Settings/battery and data manager/battery mode

Thank you all for the suggestions but nothing works so far.
When I receive a new email in my Gmail account, it does not sync to the phone automatically. When I go to Settings > Accounts > Google, I see "Sync Contacts/Gmail/Calendar" but the last sync time remains the time I sync'd them manually (currently - yesterday).
Settings > Battery > Battery Mode is Performance.
I'm really desperate, as I cannot use my phone for one of main things I wanted it for.
Please help!
PROBLEM SOLVED !
This forum does not allow me to post URLs yet, so I'm copying the solution here:
Sync was apparently turned off via the Power Control widget! This is a really obtuse and unacceptable situation. The only way to turn this back on is to add the widget back to a screen and click on the round double arrow button so that its enabled. This is not at all obvious and I accidentally turned sync off and then removed the widget because I didn't know what the different buttons did (they aren't labeled). That is a bad widget design (obscure) and the fact that sync can not be re-enabled (or even detected that its been disabled) from the system configuration menus is not reasonable. If sync can be turned on & off it should show up under say the Data Manager as a check mark option, it should most definately not only show up as an unlabeled button on an optional widget.
Hello there..
Got the Lenovo A806, and i installed the VIBEUI_V2.0_1501_7.80.1_DEV_A806 ROM and it's Android version 4.4.2 .. yesterday i saw the synce on any account, include Google, is off [with this gray circle and text saying Sync is OFF] and i can only sync it manually by tap, since then i tried many things from online and by trying many phone options for many hours, but the Auto sync is still off and woun't come back..
I did saw many places when they say it's under data usage manu, enabling "Auto sync" option there, but checking thoroughly in my manus i didn't find anything speaking on Sync options, besides SHAREit or SYNCit built in apps which has someoptions but it has nothing to do with, also with many built in apps, theres' this green Security app which is very "control freak" and is all over the place, and it has data usage monitoring thing, so from remembering all the data usage references from the web, along with the fact the Auto Sync stopped from a week ago [So i saw last sync for all accounts was May 28], which is the date i remember i was almost finished all my operator data usage of 3GB, and that Security app gave me a notification and sort of Red Alert about me going to exceeding the limit, so from that i was thinking that it [the Security app] was blocing to auto sync option for reduce data usage or something like that, so i tried to unlock frozen apps and tried to clean it's catch and data from "apps", also playing with the data saver options, same to data "firewall apps", and there's no reset or restore to defaults option, so i think tried everything..
Can someone help please? any ideas why it doesn't Auto Sync any account? include Waze Hotmail an Corporate..
It's very important to me to have it autoSync as for everybody i guess so please someone to help, it will be very much appreciated!
Thanks and have a great day!
