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

If Apple fixes this, it will be definitely a pleasant year, if not a happy one. LOL

Just throwing my name in the hat as another beneficiary of the GMT dilemma. Entries are made via macbook calendar  and always ends up GMT vs CST.

Eager for a solution!!!

I've been having this problem since the iOS8 update in September, and nothing has worked. Calls to Apple and Google Apps have been time consuming and futile.

For MacBook iCal, remove your Google calendar completely, restart your computer then re-add your Google calendar and give it time to sync.

If you use iCal on your phone, and enter a new event there, the GMT issue will still be there.

Hi,

The only calendar I found is "Sunrise" which seems to synchronous with Google directly ignoring the IOS calendar!

Does any body knwo whether apple accepts this problem as an IOS 8 bug????

The whole thing is extremely frustration and I'm puzzling whether I should throw away my iPhone 5 and buy a cheap Android instead to have a device I could work with....

I had encountered this problem before and fixed it... I thought. My family uses google calendar because we were running android and IOS devices and needed a way to keep track of all appointments with one calendar. I don't know if this is the most efficient way but it works for us as I can make a change on one device (phone, tablet, or PC, etc.) and everyone knows of the change in minutes when they look at their calendars. I don't remember what I did but it took several hours of recreating events and checking settings on time zones with google calendar and iPhones and iPads etc. But as of the latest ios 8.1.2 it has returned.

I confirmed this by checking events that were added to the google calendar using my iPad prior to the December update and editing them and checking other devices. I also confirmed this by using an iPhone 4 that runs ios 7.1.2 and adding an event to my google calendar. The iPhone 4 still shows the event at the correct time however when the iPhone 5s and the iPad (both running ios 8.1.2) show the GMT glitch.

I use the Exchange calendar for work as it is tied to my work email account and I have it listed to sync with my iPad and iPhone that run ios 8.1.2.  I have tried to get the events to display the GMT glitch by adding on the ios 8.1.2 devices and it works correctly (the GMT is not an issue). It only seems to happen on my devices when I use the google calendar combined with the ios 8.1.2...

Problem solved temporarily (until solution from Apple) with 3rd party app named "CalenMob". No GMT.

also throwing my hat in: i have spent hours and hours and hours going through and trying everything suggested here.

this on top of recent major problems with yosemite on my macbook air (that caused me to lose two days troubleshooting and a week of work) has me really thinking apple is done for. this is totally unacceptable & insanely irresponsible to completely screw up the basic things people have come to depend on.

Whole Company is on Google Apps for Business. Anyone with an iDevice is having this problem and it is driving everyone crazy. I can't believe this post has so many views and apple can't solve it.

New Events, created in EST, opened two seconds later, time zone is "updated" to GMT. Who the **** cares about GMT time zone when 95% of meetings are in EST?

Heard back from my contact. Apple engineers are working on a fix for the next update release.

Your simple fix did it for me, pogster.

In attempts to fix it on my own, I'd turned on Time Zone Override, and thus was seeing events listed in both local time zone and in GMT.

But when I turned Time Zone Override off, then did a restart (holding down power and home buttons), all was fixed. I'm back in my zone.

I know there are tons of posts and I've been reading for over an hour now. I did not read every single post and I hope not to have to. This GMT issue literally just started today for me on my iPhone 6. I made an appt. on my IOS8 without issue and 10 minutes later created another event (both from my phone with Google as my default Cal) and BOOM, GMT showing up everywhere since the post today. No previous days have been affected. I added events from my Google calendar and it synced perfectly with the phone and did not have any GMT issues, not one which tells me its Apple. It is obviously an iOS issue. I just can't get over the fact that it's not a setting being that I've had NO issues with this, or even heard about this issue, until my problem began late this morning.

Don't know if someone had a fix concerning IOS 8 and Google so I'm just asking if one exists, please advise and I will look further into this on the posts. If not, then I'll wait until an update to fix this extremely annoying issue. Seem to have quite a few of these extremely annoying issues with my brand new million $$$ Iphone 6 !!!!

On my second call... My FOOLOW-UP Call. 21 mins so far. First was s Call director who chk dmd out and pushed me over to AppleCare. 10 min hold to get to person who has heard of this GMT bug ..I ask what is status on this...any hints on fix? Now on hold while she checking with IT guys and see if they have a workaround?  so will update as I move along.

They did find my case number from 2 days ago.

Perhaps you have noticed that since Wed 12/31  to today 1/2  the views of this thread went up 6,000 to 102k.  Wow people are at least looking in on this. Perhaps Apple will take a peak? I WILL suggest it.

Well  6 min holding ...

OK off phone now.  pretty much same story. They = APPLE for sure knows this a problem...and are working on it. I update the TIER 2 Person with the View count of this thread. I got my case number just fine. And first name of the Wednesday person. So left her a lengthy vmail.. The direct number seems to be 877-203-0418...then you add an extension for your person. Good Luck. I was told we / I would get a heads up notice when they get a fix.

Not sure what to say about the poster above who says they fixed it with a full restart ( simple fix did it for me, poster.)= lmilne? wonder how long it lasted??

So how long has your fix worked?  I think several others have tried the full restart. I will have to check just how complicated that is,.. as in how much of a task to reload your apps and data and such. I know there are several levels of "re-" choices, restart, restore..? Thanks, Brogan
