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

sorry no solution here, just jumping in to say I'm having the same issue on the 6. I hope there is a solution as this is pretty confusing.

Hi, it appears to me as well that the problem is corrected but I have 2 questions.

1. All newly created events seem to be fine but events that were created when this bug was ongoing seem to have stayed the same on my calendar. Is there a way to fix this? I already downloaded the update.


2. Let's say I'm taking a trip from Texas to New York which is an hour ahead and I have a 4:00pm NY appointment.

I create the 4:00 appointmdnt in my calendar while im in Texas. Will the appointment change to 5:00 once I land in NY due to the time zone change?

Thanks

Hey there, you can set up a second calendar in GCal with the other timezone

and toggle between the two. This might help you out.

Otherwise, as your phone updates with the time based on your location, so

too would the calendar event (in theory). I recall testing this out awhile

back, but now with so many iterations and this bug, something might have

gotten knocked around.
