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

I agree that it's likely something to do with iOS, but it's also not as simple as "it happens on the upgrade" I've been on iOS8.1 for months and the problem just started on my phone, and iPad, today. I upgraded my phone to 8.1.2 to see if that would help, but no luck... I changed no phone settings, I didn't change time zones, I didn't change calendars, but it just suddenly started happening.

I've gone through all the settings, changed them all back and forth multiple times.

Again, in my case the problem started weeks after my last iOS upgrade... it seems that for the majority of people here the problem started with an iOS upgrade, but for me it just happened after several weeks on 8.1 with no problems. Yesterday it was fine - today it was not.

Today in the course of troubleshooting, after doing all the obvious restarts etc., I tried installing 8.1.2 to see if it would help but it did not.

Just tested with my hotmail calendar. It works fine. Making appointments on IPhone targeting the hotmail WORKS FINE. No GMT nonsense. I guess the only thing I can pin down this bug is on Google. Even rolling back to 8.1.1 does not fix it and I have not mucked around with settings in a long time on either IPhone or Google Calendar.

Guys have you not read the many posts that show this is not just a problem with Google calendar?

Go back to Page 8 and read JG in SB's thorough explanation - the best theory yet for what is going on. THEN comment.

Sure, I read that. I am telling you that it is not a problem with Hotmail, just with Google. From my personal experience. I guess there might be other variables in play here, but currently it is a problem with Google and Google only for me. So yes, read and commented.

Yes, it does make sense. Thank you for the long write up (where do you get that energy? LOL). Well, I guess it is one **** of a coincidence that I saw my issue right when I did my upgrade and the system time got whacked on my google and the bug showed up due to faulty code on iOS. I would imagine we can see this issue seemingly in a random way; presumably due to WAN clusters spread geographically and your account getting load balanced.

It amazes me how many people log into an issue thread like this and reply with, "I'm having the same issue..." then proceed to explain how they are having the exact same problem. News flash...THIS DOES NOT HELP ANYONE trying to get to a solution. It just wastes their time by having to weed through 10 pages of "I have that problem too..." replies. We can all assume that you have the problem or you probably wouldn't be on this website. Nobody cares if you have the same problem. People are just looking for a solution.

I am really NOT trying to be as *** here. I am merely trying to ask people not to do this because it is VERY annoying and wastes people's time.

Thank you in advance for not doing this in the future on any other troubleshooting threads.

After talking to the supervisor at Apple, he assured me that it is not their problem and that certain bluetooths and Google need to go one step forward to sync with the new IOS8. Do you know differently?

JG,

Thanks for the input. I passed this on to the supervisor from Apple who I talked to. He had sent me an email with an attachment on how to possibly fix the problem and that attachment came from apple discussion group. What an idiot, like he must think that I don't know about the forum. I can only wait to the fix from Apple at this point and I did put in a complaint via email, as well.

I wonder if it has something to do with how the mail, contacts, and calendar account was set up on the iPhone. My account is set up as a Google account, I used to be able to set it up as an exchange account, but I can't do that any more. Is yours set up as a Google account or an Exchange account?

Mine is set up as Google. I don't use my Google calendar on my PC only on my phone. So I don't know if there is a problem on the PC. Others have mentioned that it is not a problem, only when you sync I guess.

The reason your feelings are hurt is because you are one of the people that I am referring to. In case you missed it, I'm referring to those who simply state they have the same problem. If someone says they have the same problem but go on to add valuable information are contributing in a positive way. If you cannot understand that those who reply here to say they are having the same problem are wasting everyone's time, then you are part of the problem.

You can insult me if that makes you feel better, but I will not waste another character space here explaining it to you. So don't be disappointed when I don't respond to your next comment directed toward me. That would be wasting everyone's time which I will not do anymore by explaining this. So go grab yourself a Hot Pocket and heat it up in the microwave I'm sure your Mom bought for you so you never have to leave her basement...and calm yourself.

Chevy baby, I looked up your one other post, back in June. Almost a carbon copy of your rant here. You have a problem boy. Please go away, you are the one who is a waste of time. As far as me and my Mother making me a Hot Pocket, that's pretty funny stuff. However, I have no doubt I am a much more accomplished and successful man, in my business life and family life than you will ever be. It's easy to tell from the way you write. I feel sorry for you. Oh, and what have you contributed to this issue? Hmmm, let me think.... oh, absolutely nothing. Done with you now. Go back under that rock.

Hey JG, thanks for posting the link from AppRiver. Hopefully, Apple will give this issue the attention, coming from a company and documented as an official blog entry (fingers crossed) instead of just a "bunch of users" complaining. Also, put in my bug report as well.

i just noticed i left out a few words that could have made one part of my above post a little clearer. I clicked on edit below the post so i could add those few words in, but then she i clicked Reply to submit the edited post, i kept getting a message that said 'your content could not be saves. please try again in a few moments,' which is BS, i could try all night and the edited post is not going to post. I am guessing that would be because my limited time that Apple allows for editing ran out, all i can do is guess.

Anyway, so, i'm writing this post to add the few words to make that one part a little more clear. It's the fourth to the last paragraph which starts out with "I have just replicated this solution numerous times…" The words i want to add are where it says "...What was confusing me for a while is that some of my events, for example a vet appointment for my dog for tomorrow, is set to the iCloud sub calendar, in this case, Pets." What i want to add is, " but I was still getting the GMT info under the event name even though the iCloud calendar was used."
