When I change the time zone, either manually or automatically, the times of my appointments in the calendar app all change as well.
For instance, if I travel from central time zone to eastern time zone, all of the appointments will shift to an hour later.
I travel a lot, and this has become quite problematic. Can anyone help?
anyone?
It's driving me 'round the bend.
I do not understand why this is a problem....
All appointments are linked to UTC/GMT.
Therefore if you change timezone, your appointments follow suit.
The HD2 has the ability to work with two timezones
(windows key, settings, more, clock)
Tab time, if you set "visiting" your appointments will move in time. (because of lock to GMT)
If you on the other hand changeyour home time it will also automatically change the times. (because of lock to GMT)
The only thing I can suggest is plan your appointments in GMT time, then all appointments will automatically move to the correct time in the timezone.
What I mean:
If you need an appointment at 13:15 EST (UTC-5), and you are in Amsterdam at the moment (UTC+1) (Note UTC=GMT) then the appointment should be planned in at 19:15 (conversion from EST to UTC adds 5, from UTC to Amsterdam +1)
This is actually also the time you should make a phonecall to someone in EST at 13:15. (To rech a person at 13:15 in EST, you will need to call them at 19:15 Amsterdam time..)
Now if you move to the EST region, adapt your clock, all appointments will shift in time, resulting in the planned appointment beeing scheduled at 13:15.
The other option (if you do not like this), is to look for a second clock, which looks at the earlier mentioned "Visiting" time, without activating visiting Time (leaving allways on home time, not adapting that one to your new timezone)
Clocks Like SPB Time, handy clock ar just two apps wher you can see multiple timezones at once. (Commercial apps, quite expensive)
But there are a lot of freeware alternatives too, but then you will have to look for yourself (and WM6.5) as loads of freeware clocks are for PPC2003, wm5, wm6 seldom for wm6.5
I hope this will help you.
Hi Wilco !
I am facing exactly this problem since now I use my HD2-Sense calendar as my calendar "on the go" (till now I used Google-mobile app to call up my calendar)
I am syncing now my Google-Calendar via Active-sync/Exchange and it is really annoying when I am in a different time zone that all my appointments shift in time and it would be a hell of work to register appointments in UTC and wouldn't make sense since when I look up appointments in my home place they are shifted to local time too.
On the other hand I need the local time on my home screen when in a different time zone.
Isn't there a handy way to overcome this ? Having the clock show the local time AND the calendar keeping the appointment dates to home time ?
Maybe a reg-tweak?
Does maybe anyone know where in the registry I find the coding for the calendar so that I can play around a bit .............
Just for info: got in contact with HTC support. They answered: it´s not possible to have local time AND calendar dates correct. It´s an either - or
I mean: how stupid is THAT ??????
Now finally I found a somehow easy solution to this problem since HTC is of absolutely no help and won´t solve in the next 30 years
Before You leave Your time-zone call up google calendar in any browser, go to "settings" and switch time zone to the time-zone of Your destination.
Then resync Your calendar.
Once You come back change time-zone again in google calendar.
Hello everyone.
Quick question regarding the calendar widget.
How do I set the calendar/widget to show all the upcoming events, or at least all in the month, and not the nearby events?
I've got, eg, an event in two weeks time and it's not showing in the widget... Bummer
I use CalWidget on my phone for displaying upcoming events:
http://android.eggenstein.net/calwidget/
Hello Everyone.
Could you please help me? How can I teach S Planner repeat the event every 4 weeks?
For example, for tomorrow (Sunday, June 23) I need to put an event that would be repeated every 4 weeks.
In the settings there are two possibilities.
Monthly (every fourth Sunday)
Monthly (on day 23).
It is logical to assume that the first option is the one you want. But as it turned out, event marked on the fourth Sunday from the beginning of each month, not the beginning of the event ..
So, having to me the repeated event should take place on July 21. But S Planner marks the fourth Sunday of July - July 28.
I would be very grateful if you would advise how to solve this problem, or suggest a similar planner with the necessary functionality to me.
I have been looking for the same, but still not found how except to do it on Google calendar, was hoping they would have update this but it seems not.
If you hear from anything, drop a line.
Create the event in Google calender at every 4 weeks. Sync Google calender to your account. Then sync it to s calender. It shows up in s calender at every 4 weeks.
Hello,
I'm using S Planner to create events in my schedule and Every time I type a new event in the title event box a new box opens that shows me the earlier events that I wrote that starts with the same prefix, is there option to delete that history?
Sincerely,
Hi,
I'd like to find this out too?
Anyone?
Hi to all.
First of all i would like to greet the developer for such a piece of software.
I've been searching around and can't find a way to log all the wake up paths as they happen.
For example, a few days ago I discovered that Twitter was waken up whenever I recieve an SMS. I didn't cut-off that wake up path at the moment and hibernated the app. Later I tried to cut it but it wasn't there anymore.
I don't know if this feature is implemented (just couldn't find it) but I think it would be nice for Greenify to log whenever an app is awaken by something different than the launcher and keep a DB of it maybe counting the number of events for each one.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english!
Best regards.
