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

jaw444 - Glad to hear that this fixed your alert problem!

Google made a change to their Calendar service on about Feb 3rd. Before this change, new iOS Calendar events were converted to GMT, the base time zone for all Google Calendar events. After this change, new iOS calendar events adopted the user’s time zone setting in Google Calendar. Since most folks usually have the same time zone setting for iOS and Google Calendar, the GMT problem effectively disappeared for them.

There is it, with the update, under "BUG fixes".

Bug fixes

• Fixes an issue in Maps that prevented navigating to some favorite locations
• Addresses an issue where the last word in a quick reply message wasn't autocorrected
• Fixes an issue where duplicate iTunes purchased content could prevent iCloud restore from completing
• Resolves an issue where some music or playlists didn’t sync from iTunes to the Music app
• Fixes an issue where deleted audiobooks sometimes remained on device
• Resolves an issue that could prevent call audio from routing to car speakers while using Siri Eyes Free

• Fixes a timezone issue where Calendar events appear in GMT

Try this one extra step and see if it makes any difference. From within the calendar app click on "Calendars" located at the bottom. Remove the check mark next to each calendar. Then click on "Done". There should now be no events in your calendar. Again from within the calendar app click on "Calendars" located at the bottom. Select each calendar to add it back in. The check mark should now appear next to each calendar. Then click on "Done". Is the GMT time still showing next to your events?

Solution:

Change your iCloud settings at www.iCloud.com from GMT to your correct TimeZone.

Delete your calendar entries that are in error.

Add your calendar entries back into your calendar.

I Had the same issue on post with a different time zone, check on general settings> calendar> time zone override it mist be off

Yep... Removed the GMail account, made sure Time Zone Override was off, and recreated the account. Good to go.

It stems from Gmail. Go to your gmail, open your calendar settings, and change your timezone. Hit save and boom! you're done

Try turning off Time Zone Override. If that does not work call 1 800 my apple

Perfect. After deleting and adding back all accounts, shut down phone, restarted, and all synced. Thank you, HofstraJet

Apple has released iOS 8.2 that lists the GMT bug as being fixed. Just thought I would post this in case someone didn't see the news. Hope it works for all.

I just updated to iOS 8.2 and the issue has been resolved. I didn't have to do anything else (change setting, edit existing calendar events), only complete the update.

Yep, mine too. Only on my phone though. On iCal it's fine. The Time Zone Override didn't do anything on my end. The only thing that worked is to switch to LIST mode instead of a traditional calendar block view and it appears correctly with Begin and End times. If I click the view toggle back to calendar block, it's all GMT. It's a bug that will have to be addressed obviously. Until then, I'm viewing it in list mode...

I am experiencing this issue for a VIP. Here are some observations:

• Turning off the time zone override,removing the calendar and re-adding the calendar did not work for me.
• I am able to reproduce this issue on multiple devices
• Putting my calendar on his device does not cause the issue
• Putting his calendar on an iOS 7 device does not display the issue
• He uses Microsoft entourage to retrieve his mail from Office365, which is no longer support.
• The calendar entries show in the right "slot" on the day view
• If you open the entry, the correct time is displayed within the entry.

I have the same issue; appointments that I have created in Outlook sync to my Apple devices and appear at the correct time but have the (GMT) time shown as part of the description. It's more annoying than anything else.

Time Zone Override is off.

I live in New Zealand.

This was definitely a result of upgrading to iOS 8 - and hasn't changed after installing iOS 8.1 today.

The only way that I have found to resolve it, is to open each affected appointment on my iPhone or iPad and edit the the time zone against the start and end times. That isn't a very good fix as I have lots of appointments from the sync with my Outlook work calendar.

I've searched through the forum and Apple support site and can't find any response from Apple so I am going to try and raise a support request with them.

If anyone works out how to resolve this, please post it here!

1) Verify your ICould settings and if your timezone is incorrect, change your iCloud settings at www.iCloud.com from GMT to your correct TimeZone.

Then, regardless of whether your settings were correct or not:

2) Delete your calendar entries that are in error.

3) Add your calendar entries back into your calendar.

I use gmail for my email and have an iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.

I had this same problem this morning and the steps above worked for me. The Apple email client now allows you to incorporated drive time into your schedule so maybe something has changed that affects older calendar entries. Also, I had just signed up for iCloud to use the reminders (which uses iCloud email) so my timezone was incorrect. Your situation may differ but steps 2) and 3) should fix your problem anyway however your timezone got changed.

My existing icloud setting is to the correct timezone already. Do you have Timezone Support set to On or Off?
