Interesting DST issues

M$ states that the DST fix for the USA is built into WM6, as the last paragraph here states. So I thought it was odd that a client with an Exchange 2003 server with one user with a custom WM6 Hermes 8525 and another user with a brand new 8925 Tilt both had All Day appointments changing to multiday appointments starting and ending at 1:00 AM. Then I tested creating a Holy Thursday and Good Friday All Day Calendar event using my Hermes and my Exchange server, same thing. Holy Thursday on the PDA changed to Wednesday and Good Friday changed to Thursday (not good!) Of course all my servers are up to date, as are the workstations. Installed the WM6 DST and corrected the appointments on my workstation, changed the time zone from EST to another timezone and back to EST per Billy Bob Gate's instructions and now all is fine.
Curious on other folks findings concerning this.

Thanks for explaining what is going on. I work nights so have repeating appointments from 10:30pm to 07:00 the next day. Don't sync with exchange just a pc but had appointments changing start and end times by one hour at random intervals. Also some full day events I had like holidays and Birthdays changed to multiple day events. Have just installed the Dst patch, and all appears ok now.

Update to DST issue
Determined my problems due to automatically getting time zone from Cingular (which I kind of suspected) If I turn that off and manually change it to something different than my EST, save, then change back to EST all is well.
If I don't, all my All Day events are one day earlier, freaking Cingular! I remember last year with my Wizard that it would show Indiana instead of Eastern and assummed that it was fixed as it has indicated Eastern for quite a while now.
Oh well, false alarm, kinda sorta

Thought I was going out of my mind when I saw my appointments for next week going crazy. I suspected it was the automatic timezone download from T-Mobile as well, so thanks for the confirmation! I did exactly what you did and all's well.

Interesting, it's not just Cingular and it's not just the East Coast.....

Also affects the West Coast, since a friend of mine is out in Seattle for a conference and he's got the same problem as well.

Calendar appointments off 1 hr. -- this is absolutely driving me to drink!

I've got a Daylight Savings Time problem that's putting me on a path towards alcoholism. Let me set the stage...
I'm running a Sprint Touch Pro 2 with MalRom 6.5.3. Desktop PC is Win XP, Outlook 2003 & ActiveSync 4.5. I keep the PC continually up-to-date with Microsoft Update. All latest updates have been applied. Timezone settings have been double-checked and are correct on both my PC and the TP2. On the TP2, I've installed the Daylight Savings Time fix from Microsoft.
Off a hard reset when I sync the TP2 with my PC via ActiveSync, all of my appointments on the TP2 during the 2010 DST period (March 14 thru November 7) are off 1 hour (i.e. an appointment that shows correctly starting at 2pm in Outlook on my PC shows a start time of 1pm on my TP2). Note that this ONLY happens during the DST period. My meeting on March 13, 2010 displays the correct times on the TP2. My daughter's piano recital the next day on March 14th does not. My appointment on October 31st displays one hour early. My next appointment on November 13th (after the time change) displays correctly.
This doesn't seem to be a widespread problem for folks like the 2016 text message bug. Searching for a solution here on xda-developers, only a handful of folks seem to be having the same problem and a chunk of those are having a problem with birthdays displaying on the wrong days, not appointments with incorrect start times. No one seems to have found a fix though.
SOMEBODY out there has had to have experienced this same problem and solved it. I've tried every update and reset suggested in the searches I've found, and to-date, nothing has worked. I'm at wits end and am running out of booze to make the problem go away!
Please help me.

[Q] Wrong time, day, month, and year displayed

I have a AT&T S3 running on straight talk, with the Baked Rom installed. Everything was working fine until today until after I had rebooted it it says that its November 26, 1970 and the clock is running about 30 mins fast. If I receive a text message it shows that it arrived today (July 17, 2013), instead of showing that it arrived in the '70s like the phones calendar thinks it is. I've tried numerous reboots and toggling airplane mode etc, as well as searching the internet but nothing works and I can't find anyone else who's had the same problem. I'd really like to fix the problem as I'm also not able to send texts anymore and my phone thinking its 1970 is just plain annoying.

Did u try to fix it under Settings, Date and time ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Just tried that and enabled automatic date and time (which some how got disabled I know not how) and everything is back to normal including sending sms and emails. Thank you! Don't know how I could of missed that.

Calendar limit

Hello,
I just started using Zooper so I don't know yet every command and parameter.
On my widget I have 3 lines that display the next 3 calendar events in the format "TUE 8 18:00 EVENT", but "next event" may be coming way far in the future. I'd like to limit events to those of the next 2 weeks (I don't need to know about things that are months away), how can I do that?
Thank you

I'm rather new to Zooper Widget myself, but I would think that you could make a conditional statement that takes the difference of the date of the event and the current date and if that is < 14, then do the following. Note that I have not tested any of the following, so you would probably have to debug and troubleshoot any issues if some arise.
$#C0SMMdd#-#DMMdd#<=14? #C0TITLE#$
To my understanding, this would say
If (First Calendar event month and Day) - (Current Month and Day) <= 14, then display the name of the first event.
However, there is one flaw with this formula, since it the values would be incorrect the following month (For example the 29th of April would yield the value "0429" and the first of May would be "0501", but the difference is well over 14, but they are within 2 weeks of one another).
Since the difference in months should be the 100s place, you might be able to just do another if statement that says
$[#C0SMMdd#-#DMMdd#>=73] && [#C0SMMdd#-#DMMdd#<=86] [&& #C0SMMdd#-#DMMdd#<-1000]? #C0TITLE#$
I didn't spend a whole lot of time on these numbers, so there may be a few errors. I thought of the worse scenario (Being the last day of February and an event on the next day (0301-0228=73)) and the other scenario being a cap so that you don't get events in the long distant future. The last is for the change of December to January.
As a said, I am rather new to using zooper, so there may be an easier way to do this. If not I hope this helped get you started.

That's definitely a good starting point, I went for
Code:
$#C0yDDD#-#DyDDD#<15?#C0TITLE#$
yDDD gives the date in the format 2014170 (year + day in year with leading zeros, from 001 to 365), so it should be ok in every case
Now I just have to fight with text jumping up and down whether the contain tall letters or not
Thank you very much!
(btw is there a way to stop the configuration window from closing and forgetting what I wrote, if the screen turns off while I'm changing something?)

Sadly, I'm not aware of a way to do that. Although, a lot of people use pushbullet and write the code on their computer and then send it to their phone to test.

Android Messages duplicate texts bug

I don't know if this is Pixel 2 specific, but it keeps happening on my Pixel 2 XL, and I can't find anything online about it happening to anyone else. If this is better off in another forum, let me know.
When I'm using messages.android.com] along with the Messages app for texting, it will sometimes (once or twice a day) send duplicate messages, but delayed by a few minutes or hours, and not always just the previous message I sent. It's very inconsistent and I can't find a pattern to it. It's been happening to me for at least a month.
I've tried:
* different laptops and browsers
* clearing storage to force the app to have a fresh start
* settings -> messages for web -> sign out of all computers
Example: this morning I sent a few texts from my phone, then a little later I logged on to messages.android.com, and it resent one of my texts from last night.
The only thing I notice is that it's always to a group chat, it never happens with just a single person.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great, thanks in advance.

Any update on this?

Nothing concrete. I upgraded to version 4 a couple of days ago and it hasn't happened yet. I stress 'yet' because it seems to be pretty spotty on when it happens and what triggers it.

Did you get this resolved?

I disabled automatic resending in chat features and it seems to have resolved it for me. It's only been a day, so time will tell.
