Q: iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

Hi everyone,

 

Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8, the Calendar app now shows all my newly added events with GMT times, and not the local time (as I am not in GMT, I am +9 hours). All my previous and existing entries are displaying normally. I have not changed any settings at all. However, if I open one of the new events and enter the events details screen, the local times are clearly displayed along with a GMT equivalent time underneath it.

 

I have tried changing settings but nothing shows my events in local time as it did before the upgrade to iOS 8. Any ideas? Is this a bug? Am I missing a new setting? Many thanks in advance for your help or advice.

 

Cheers,

James.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8

    Not only has 8.2 not solved the issue, it seems to have completely severed my phones connection to google servers- nothing syncs UP to the cloud but can download. Can't belive I'm about to have to spend money on a third party CALENDAR app! Bug  report has been submitted but im over this nonsense

    This sounds like an entirely different issue altogether.  You should start a new thread on it.

    To fix this you must open the calendar event ics file in notepad and verify the time zone in the first part of the coding is the desired time zone. It should be the tzone. Mine said UTC and it should be Central Standard Time.

    CCorrect it and re save the event To your calendar. It should display the right time zone when you subscribe on your iPhone. Not sure if it's Apple issue or outlook issue.

    It can be fixed, you shall try by following these steps

    go to - settings

    go to - mail, contacts, calendars

    Then - Scroll down to the calendars section

    Finally - Set the "time zone override" option to the required time zone.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Hello,

     

    I was having the same problem on my new computer. What I did solved my problem.

     

    I went on settings-date & Time - Time zone tab- and then I selected the corrected time zone. ( I am in Los Angeles and the time zone was set for Chicago. My calendar was going crazy).

     

    If you having problems on your Iphone I would go on:

    settings- mail - time zone override (choose correct location) or just turn it off.

     

    I hope it helps?

    Thanks. I don't have the problem anymore because I too switched off the time zone override. Note I did not say my problem was fixed because this is just a work-around and I have now lost functionality. Pretty poor on Apple's part when you think they have had several opportunities to fix it!

    Rich, thank you for posting this. I was banging my head as to why I had entries showing grid wise as local time but had an EST associated with every entry. I followed your steps and did the time zone override and it is now fixed.
