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

kcf316, that is one of the FIRST things I tried several weeks ago. FYI, my gmail calendar settings were always correct. This does not solve the problem. Nor does it solve the problem for the many people who use Exchange servers etc.

Read the detailed information that is available on the links earlier in this thread.

The time zone setting in my Google calendar settings is already correct. If it weren't, the problem would affect all my devices. As it is, it now affects my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1.2) and MBP (10.10.2 beta) but not my iPod Touch 4th gen (with iOS 6.1.6) and not my Asus NPFI running KitKat.

We all know the only fix is Apple and we all hope they will fix it in 8.1.3 but we also know that some people have done different things that may have fixed it on their devices but will not work for other people. Kcf316 was only trying to help we don't have to pile on. At this time we are all just waiting on Apple as the only real fix so let's all just chill.

iCal is an Apple standard and Google is not required to comply with it. However, as stated many times here, Google is not the only interface that causes this problem. The issue, once again, is with Apple.

Sorry Technewby, it doesn't help re a new event, because a few seconds after saving it, it reverts to GMT. Your method works for events that are already created though (don't forget to adjust the time as well as the time zone).

I am having the same issue. Hey APPLE, if this does not get fixed...I will go back to the android. I have a small business where I make appointments for my clients everyday. If this was just a cosmetic issue I would not care. But this effects my schedule when you go back to edit an appointment and it shows the time for 5 hours later. I pay good money to have this phone. The calendar cannot be removed because Apple installed it. I need APPLE to respond! I thought it was a 4S issue with the last update. I have a client with a 6 and he is having the same issue.

Is Apple going to be paying any attention to this string? This is a complete DEAL BREAKER!! If I can't use my ICal, what the heck do I need this Iphone for? It's so dicey editing posts in GMT, it's not even funny. I'm in California where GMT is 8 hours ahead. On some entries, GMT takes my edited entry into the next DAY!! If I'm not super careful, I have the entry on the wrong day altogether. I'm considering Android. I really can't stand watching Apple go into the toilet, especially when its taking me with them!

I then asked, what about my Facebook events, and my calendar events from Outlook that are also showing GMT? He only said that they must use a Google server as well.

Are you serious? That's a ludicrous response from Apple support. Microsoft and Facebook are not using Google servers to host their stuff. Lord a'mighty.

Boy, I sure HOPE they aren't expecting Google to fix this, because that means it (maybe) will fix it for some of us, but it sure won't for JG in SB and anyone else who has the problem but doesn't use the Google calendar.

Maybe so, but I've never seen it show up in my ical as such. Google and ical have to work together on this. It's an unacceptable problem. It needs fixing sooner rather than later.

The way that Google is displaying the names of the time is not the problem. It displayed them that way long before this issue arose. It's just a label.

Google calendar has had a love affair with android now scuttlebutt has it that Google is soon releasing a new calendar app for iOS. Hopefully this will solve the time zone changing problems. "This will be the first time Google has offered a dedicated iOS app for Calendar, and it looks rather snazzy indeed." from thenextweb.com

Hi all

I'm new to this thread and been having this problem for awhile but living with it.

Just wanted to say thanks for the tips (I've tried a few without success) and efforts in getting Apple to resolve this.

Am eagerly waiting for the next iOS update with high hopes.

Cheers!

I found a solution! If you throw your i-device at the ground really hard, the incorrect timezone no longer displays. However, nothing else displays either. Come on Apple, this needs to be addressed. I miss at least one appointment a week because my calendar doesn't show the right time on the appointment, which is bad for my business.

(WARNING: Do not follow the advice from this post. I am being sarcastic.)

Events created inside the Exchange or Google Calendar itself seem not to have the issue that creating them on an Apple device generates. So, because your suggestion is to add the event using calendar.google.com, it works as you say. However, it's not always practical to create the event on Safari. I still need the fix.

For me this is happening on entries made in Calendar in Yosemite OS X. While Pacific Time is selected as the overall time zone at the top of Calendar, the individual entries in Calendar attempt to default to GMT. A pain.

Maybe my iOS devices/GoogleCal are interfering via sync? (Fantastical on iPhone and iPad.) I've checked across all the calendars including Google and GMT is not selected anywhere though I do spend chunks of time in both time zones and have to adjust accordingly. Reading this article I think the problem started about the time of updating devices to iOS 8 - though not sure.

But @Ryan Bartels comment below about List View is a relevation.
