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

JG -  ditto, did 1 hour of testing today across iphone, ipad, laptops, etc.

Net result -- no change whatsoever to the GMT Bug.... now 100+ days and counting.

P-word effort SLOW....

Media coverage of the GMT Bug is spreading worldwide and visibility is picking up... Apple unlikely to respond until PR is super NEGATIVE.

But, it's been a good week for the "voice of the customer" --  Intuit caved on TurboTax feature/function changes & charges, Marriott caved on blocking WiFi signals, and Verizon caved on allowing opt-out on "Super-cookies".  Maybe Apple will wake up -- after rolling in it's $160 billion cash pile -- and throw a few thousand dollars in resources at the GMT bug!

Here is the Test Used Today:

Equipment:  iPad Air2 (iOS v8.1.3), iPhone6 (iOS v8.1.3), Laptops (both Win7), MacMini late-2009 (O/S 10.10.2)

Calendar S/W: iPhone/iPad -- either Apple's iOS Calendar and Calendar5 (Readdle)

Settings:  iOS devices - All timezone stuff turned OFF (Settings/General/Date & Time/Set Automatically=OFF; TimeZone set to Portland, Oregon)

Email:  4 Emails accounts; 3 on Office365 (cloud) and 1 on MS Exchange (also cloud); no Google, iCloud, Yahoo, other Email services

First, I created a calendar entry on iPad Air2 using Calendar5 app (so I started without using Apple's calendar!)

• Event Created:  2/1/14 6:00-7:00pm local time  (I am PST - Pacific time; 8 hours behind GMT)
• Calendar entry shows as correct on Calendar5 and Apple Calendar app -- event is listed in LOCAL time on both (so far, so good)
• However, on iPhone6 (after sync) now shows event at 2:00-3:00am on GMT time (with GMT displayed on iPhone6 screen); any "edits" on iPhone6 now would bet against GMT time (the bug has hit !)

Second, I made edits to the event on iPad Air2 -- using Calendar5 App (e.g., changed event TITLE and moved to 6:30-7:30pm Local time)

• iPad Air2 shows 6:30-7:30pm local time (no GMT yet) -- on both Calendar5 and iOS Apple calendar
• iPhone6 now shows 2:30-3:30am GMT iphone6 shows 2:30am GMT ... expected behavior

Third, I edit the event on the iPad AIr2 using Apple calendar app (e.g., changed TITLE and moved time to 7:00-8:00pm local time)

• iPad Air2 Apple Calendar and Calendar5 now show event at 7:00-8:00pm  local time
•   iPhone6 now shows event 3:00-4:00am and GMT icon on display... expected behavior.

Forth, I edit the event on the iPhone6 using Apple Calendar app  (e.g., changed TITLE and moved event time to 2:00-3:00am, but left event in GMT TimeZone -- I did not change back to my PST timezone)

• iPhone6 shows GMT and 2:00-3:00am... expected behavior (given the way the bug works...)
• But, now the iPad Air2 Apple Calendar shows event time as GMT 2:00-3:00am and GMT icon/time shown on display... the "bug" has now hit this device
• Calendar5 is FINE... shows 6:00-7:00pm local time (so this calendar App never gets screwed by the iOS GMT bug)

Fifth, I edit the event on iPad Air2 in Calendar5 App…. To see if this edit/change fixes GMT on the iPad and/or iPhone6 (e.g., changed TITLE and moved time to 5:00pm local time – translates to 1:00-2:00am GMT)

• iPad Air2 Apple calendar is unchanged... shows 1:00-2:00am GMT;  same with iPhone6 Apple calendar
• Therefore, editing in Calendar5 does not fix the bug... not surprised (just means Calendar5 isn't using iOS "tags" like Apple's calendar)

Sixth, I edit event and "force change" (override) the iPad Air2 Apple Calendar back to PST local time -- moved from 1:00-2:00am GMT to 5:00-6:00pm local time

• iPad Air2 Apple Calendar now shows no GMT -- only 5:00-6:00pm Local time for calendar entry
• iPhone6 stays at 1:00-2:00 GMT

Finally, I edit event and "force change" (override) the iPhone6 Apple Calendar back to PST local time -- moved from 1:00-2:00am GMT to 5:00-6:00pm local time

• This fixes the iPhone6 (now displaying event from 5:00-6:00pm local time)....
• But -- the iPad Air2 gets the GMT bug -- it is now showing the event as 1:00-2:00am GMT and any edits on the iPad Air2 going forward are in GMT timezone.

Reminds me of the "Whac-A-Mole" game.... except far less fun!

Reminder post and also for people first visiting this thread who (understandably) are not reading through the preceding 47 pages of posts:

<<<<<<< DO NOT FACTORY RESET AND/OR WIPE YOUR DEVICE!!! >>>>>>>

Don't do this even if directed to by Apple support staff, many of whom STILL appear not to be aware of the GMT Bug.  Resetting your device does not fix this issue because this issue is generated by BUGGY CODE IN IOS.  Resetting just sets your device back to factory defaults including a virgin copy of iOS which STILL INCLUDES THIS BUG.

Resetting your device will at best, waste a lot of your time, and at worst end up causing you to lose data that you want to keep.

Instead of wasting your time doing a reset, go and register a bug report with Apple:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

And if you are really bored and/or frustrated with Apple's total lack of response to this issue, do a Google search for "iOS 8 GMT Bug" and go leave comments on any of the many articles about this bug in mainstream media outlets, including but not limited to Forbes and MacRumors.  Negative stories, along with lots of user comments to the effect of "I can't believe Apple has ignored this for over 4 months" etc. might cause Apple to get off the stick a little faster.

The GMT "bug" was intended to be a feature in iOS 8, and I won't argue the point, or respond to comments as to whether or not it is truly a "feature".  I sure don't like it, but I understand people that work with others in different time zones find it useful.  Regardless, it would be nice if there at least was an option to turn-off the "feature".

DON'T waste you time with workarounds.

DO let Apple know what you think by leaving clear, concise, and unemotional feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Unlike the Support Community, Apple does review comments sent to the customer feedback URL, and forwards valid comments and suggestions to the appropriate groups within Apple.

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

i have same problem...

now, i'm using Tempo calendar app until there's iOS update with a fix...

since Tempo doesn't have GMT issues, it must be Apple calendar app that has a bug...

Hi, I have the same issue with Google shared calendar configured added as CalDAV account. I expected that the problem will be resolved in iOS 8.1.3. The problem remains.

<Edited by Host>

Still having this problem using iPhone 6 plus and iOS 8.1.3. Best solution is to switch to new Outlook app!!

Come on Apple... This is just insulting. If you wanted to join the ranks of Comcast in customer service, keep doing this stuff.

Just fix it already. You have some of the best programmers in the world and a  bunch of ****** off customers. Seems like a pretty simple solution.

I'm thrilled you added a "new configuration options for education standardized testing." That's really great that the standardized testing, which is a load of crap in the first place, was a priority as opposed to getting one of the basic functions of your calendar app to work properly.

It is curious that we still see comments such as yours. You suggest that it must be a Calendar app bug. Perhaps you might read a few other posts to see other suggestions and facts. Good luck.

Borg22222,

It is a bug, have spent several hours with the Apple Genius and the first thing they addressed was did I do the update (was supposed to fix this issues) It did not, time zone support changed no effect.  it is definite an Apple issue. If you stay truly in the world of apple the bug does not surface but use another source to sync with -- the GMT "feature" get stuck on.

no ...not a google thing.

Yes of course it is a bug. I was just trying to be nice to M113K for a fairly clueless post. ...oh well..we can't make people read all the previous posts.

Having the same issue -- it doesn't sound like Apple is going to resolve the issue any time soon.  Mine only started happening when I did the Latest OX Yosemite "upgrade" to my MacBook and synced it to my iPhone.  They are still saying it's a gmail/google issue through the Apple tech support line.  I was speaking to a Senior Advisor who said it was a google issue. 

I need an upgrade to my upgrade..

...and Apple support is STILL trying to push this off as a gmail/Goole issue with no eta on a resolution.

Go to Google and search "GMT Bug" ..... LOTS of results with most of them accurately pointing to APPLE as THE problem. Come on Apple ... step up, publicly acknowledge the issue, and tell us when you will fix this problem!!!
