Google calendar and daylight saving time

In Czech Republic, yesterday there was a change from summer time to winter time. Time changed without problems, but events in calendar are since that day one hour earlier (but in google calendar on web, or synced with my notebook are the right time).

 

I tried to solve it by turning off network timezone, by removing google calendars from synergy and several restarts, but without effect. Events are today still one hour earlier (events in last week are ok).

 

Does anybody know where can be problem? Or how to fix it?

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

And one more interesting thing. My old 3G Pre works fine with webOS 1.4.5

I didn't find any settings, what I can set different (expcepting installed Ubercalednar on old Pre, but it shouldn't affect it. Or it can?).

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

I noticed that this happend only to repeated events (repeated since 1 month ago to future throught our change of time).

Other events are unchanged.

 

Any ideas, what can be wrong? Or does anybody read this?

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

I had this issue as well.  I have long since set up repeating events to stop at daylight savings time and I start a new event (same event) after daylight savings time.  As such everything syncs fine.  This is not unique to WebOS although we have had our share of issues.  It appears daylight savings time takes everyone by surprise every year.

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

But as I write, on my old Pre same calendar works well and on new Pre 3 it is broken.

Or can this fixed UberCalendar patch?

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

Not sure what is fixed by Uber Calendar but I have very few calendar problems since I used the google sync patch and the Uber Calendar patch.  I really love the functionality that it provides.  If nothing else, you can set the calendar to open to weekly view and make the time increments at 5 minutes when setting calendar appointments (like pre 1.45) which is worth its weight in gold.  I would highly recommend Uber Calendar patch.

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

Installed both patches, but no change. So I'm going to change that events after time change.

It I realy anoying, that the same is working on old device, but not on new. And that there, on official forum, is noone who can explain this behavior.

Re: Google calendar and daylight saving time

Only help came to me on precentral.net forums. There is noone interested ...

As solution, you can accept to split repeating events into time before and after DST. This would help, but it is not the clear solution.

I am sure it's not the case that no one is interested.  Mods like myself read every single post on this forum, every day.  I did watch this post but never replied because I had no idea how to fix it.  I am glad you found some help at PreCentral.  I am sorry no one could help you here, but we don't know everything.
