Calendar is showing GMT after iOS 8 update

I'm trying to get a single thread about this. Please go here:iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

I have this problem too. Have you found a solution?

I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?

same thing was happening on my iphone 8.0. it took me forever to figure it out.. but go to Calendar and do not choose your email as your default.

i chose calendar as my default. and for some reason GMT never showed up again.

I was struggling with this problem until just now when I toggled the "all day" button on and off while editing the calendar item. The GMT indicator disappeared. I tried this with a couple other problem calendar entries, and the GMT time zone disappeared right away.

Toggling "all day" on/off seemed to work for me too. Thanks for the tip. We'll see if it sticks!

Thanks,

this 'toggling all day on/off - work around" seems to be the only solution that really works.

But what's the actual problem?

I'm syncing with google calendar (settings on all devices GMT + 1 (Berlin))

If I create a new event in my google calendar browser, the events on my idevices (iPad Air, iPhoe 5s + 4 s, IOS 8.1.2) are shown correctly.

If I create a new event on one of my idevices after a few seconds (=after sync) the events are shown in GMT.

This bug was definitely introduced with IOS 8 (I didn't see this on 7.1.2) and has not been fixed so far.

I'm not even sure whether apple has agreed so far that there is a serious issue that requires immediate fix!

It's driving me crazy!

For me that just moved the event to the GMT time. That actually makes it worse because it shows up 5 hours later.

yes, after toggling the all-day switch, the dual time periods disappear and you have to edit to your time zone. I couldn't find any way around this two-step edit. What a pain.

Me too... I have this same issue and don't know how to get ride of it.

It is very frustrating and it makes Google Calendar not so trustfully anymore...

I change GMT to Local but it comes back wrong and my calendars are getting crazy in time.

Hope they will find a solution very soon.

Good luck to all.

This may not work for everyone, but I was very frustrated and this worked for me. Below is from a top level support person at Google. The main point that worked for me was deleting my "accounts" on my iphone where I had set them up as Gmail and re-add them as exchange. example@googleapps.com username and password, server m.google.com

I tried adding an event afterwards and everything worked fine. Hopefully it works for others as this has been a nightmare for me for weeks.

Thanks, justin

There are a couple of known issues based on how the Apps account or the phone are configured.

These are the steps we recommend:

1. check the configuration of your device according to Apple Support articles athttp://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT203483 and http://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202195.

2. make sure CalDAV/CardDAV is enabled in 'Device Management>Mobile>Device management settings' in order to fully utilize all Google Apps features on iOS devices. You can find more details on how to adjust your settings by visiting https://support.google.com/a/answer/6088059?hl=en

3. Be sure your Google account is added to your iOS device as an Exchange account.

And not as a Google Account.

Once your account is added on iOS device it is really important to access account configuration settings at https://m.google.com/sync/settings/ directly on your device using a Safari browser. These configuration settings are not global and the same process needs to be repeated on each device you wish to use with your Google Apps account.

Thanks for the tips. However, these sound like instructions for a Google Apps account. Does it work for a plain jane "@gmail.com" account?

and youtube video with good suggestions to contact Apple. good luck

Hi,

my problem is that all of a suddden the 'toggle to all-day event-workaround' does no longer work for our google calendars.

It seems as if the GMT bug appears as soon as goole gets synchronoused with IOS calendar.

The only calendar I found that works for us is "Sunrise" which seems to synchronous with google directly ignoring the IOS calendar!

Does any body knwo whether apple accepts this problem an an IOS 8 bug????

The whole thing is extremely frustration and I'm puzzling whether I should throw away my iPhone 5 and buy a cheap Android instead to have a device I could work with....

where do you mean "go to Calendar"? Are you talking about going on the phone to settings>mail,contacts,calendar then default Calendar on the bottom??
