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:

Hello everybody,
i have problem with Events in Updates in People Tab.
It shows me event date + 1 day. :/
Example:
Event was yesterday but it show as it is today. It adding everytime add 1 day to event date :/
I try changing region in facebook (time change or something) but nothing help :/
Is it any solution for it?
I try to search.
Was wondering if this was possible.
I will in no consistent way, schedule appointments to either chiropractor, or physio, or whatever. So one week I may have chiro on monday, next week it might be thursday, etc. It's always the same chiro location and doctor, but not always the same day each week....so the repeat feature is no good for me. However every week I have to enter all the info in again and again.
Is there a way to save an entry to the phone for "chiro", that I can recall in the calender and it populates all the chiro data into the entry?
perhaps there is a calender app that would do this better for me?
A question came up elsewhere about having a recurring meeting every first Monday of the month except not on Jan 1st or July 4th. In ICS format it would be like this:
Code:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130603
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=1MO
EXRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=1;BYMONTH=1
EXRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=4;BYMONTH=7
DESCRIPTION:
LOCATION:
SEQUENCE:0
STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY:Event first Monday of every month, except Jan 1st or Jul 4th.
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Now, importing this to Google Calendar works and it seems to skip correctly on July 4th 2016 and January 1st 2018. Only problem is, it doesn't show up in my Galaxy Nexus at all. Somewhat differently if I import this to Outlook and sync via Google's email app, I get the meeting in Outlook and phone but it doesn't skip.
So is the unfortunate conclusion then that EXRULE is currently not supported in the Android Calendar app? Any suggestions for apps that can handle this?
