Calendar is showing GMT after iOS 8 update

YES my two calls to Apple Care, both to Tier 2 they admitted it is a problem for many out here. NOT fully admit it is iOS 8. But most here seem to confirm this fact. I suggest all of us go over and track the bigger thread on this..with many recent posts...even a few pretty semi successful results ( gad I sound like an applecare tech...

Here is the more popular thread. bye bye... ==> iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

my two calls Apple Person agreed it is large bad problem see other larger thread. iOS 8 Calendar on iPhone showing GMT times for new events.

go to settings

go to Mail, Contacts , Calendars

stroll down to Calendars and open Default Calendar

and select Calendar under ICLOUD.

for some reason this worked for me.. but don't understand why

Thanks for the clarification. I have had no luck with this though. It'll get fixed eventually...

Here is my solution for this problem...
This worked for me and I hope it'll work for you all guys too.

Go to Settings -> General -> Date&Time, Turn off "Set Automatically" and make sure your timezone is correct (and adjust manually if necessary). Check your calendar app and the GMT timezone is gone. At this point I was afraid when I turn the Automatic time setting back on, the GMT timezone would come back, but it didn't!! So go to the Date&Time settings again and turn on "Set Automatically".

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. Still I get GMT after synch with Google calendar.

Selecting "Calendar" under Default Calendar" works for me, as well - for future entries. It did not change the problem that exists with any events imported from Gmail account calendar. I may be wrong, but I believe my problem is that iOS8 does not "play well" with Gmail calendar (and maybe others). Since it's an issue specific to iOS8 and previous versions continue to sync properly with Gmail, how can it possibly be anything other than an Apple problem even if they don't like Google?

No one is questioning the fact that it is Apple's problem 100% — except Apple, of course.

There is no Default Calendar menu item on iOS 8.1.2 (12B440 Verizon). So your instructions cannot be followed. When I scroll down under Calendars my choices are:

Time Zone Override

Alternate Calendars

Week Numbers

Show Invitee Declines

Sync

Default Alert Times

Start Week On

I have iOS 8.1.2 and am having the same problem. I add a calendar event and a few seconds after creating it, the time changes to GMT. This is very frustrating.

I had the same issue. I found that when I was setting the time for a new event there is a 'time zone' field that I can change. Touch on it, delete GMT, type in the time zone your in. I never had to do that before but it does fix the GMT issue. I didn't have to mess with the TimeZone Override or anything in settings. Although I tried and it didn't help.

I think Google Calendar causes events to display GMT times.

No, it isn't Google Calendar, because my phone does the same thing and it syncs with an Exchange server. Apple needs to address this annoying problem and give users an option of how they want this to work based on how they use their iOS devices and their travel and work in other time zones. Come on, Apple - help us out!

not true. See other better thread on iPhone gmt bug also sign apple p e t i t i o n. Good luck.

Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone
