When I create a new meeting in my pc thourgh Outlook, the time of the appointment in the HTC is one hour before the right time (for example 15:00 instead of 16:00).
When I create a new meeting on the HTC - there is no problem, and the accurate time is seen in my PC Outlook.
(same problem appears in the calendar app which comes with the HTC as well as with TouchDown app which I prefer to use)
I've verfied that the exchange server, my pc and the phone - are all in the same time zone (GMT+2)
I've tried to uncheck the "automatic use of network provided values" in Setting/Date & Time, but it makes no difference.
The exchange server version is 2003.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Gal
I detected a bug when you create on outlook a meeting each last working day of the month (for ex remember to send your timesheet), the phone works for the first meeting and then repeat it every day

Hello,
I have used almost all the ROMs WM6 posted on this site. Since the first one, the calendar is bugy. I hoped the next ROM would solve the problem but it seems not.
Here is what happens. Sync with Active Sync 4.5, I create a new appointment and click OK. The calendar hangs. If I kill the process (End task) the appointment just created will display correctly.
Maybe it is an issue with Active Sync 4.5, I just went back to the original ROM and the same issue happens.
I used Pocket Mechanic to look through the queues, but nothing duplicated.
Anybody has a solution? The first tyme I sync, I have aroun 70 appointments, mostly the last two weeks and repetitive ones.
Regards,
Bogdan
Ok I know this question was posted a long a time ago but when I searched for an answer to the same problem the only user reporting exactly the same issue is this one so I think the better place to put the solution is right here.
This thing happened to me with three different ROMs, so is not a ROM issue I guess. One of the "tests" I did consist in erase all the records in both, the outlook calendar and the device calendar, before that I made a backup of the outlook calendar in my desktop and then open it with another name, so I had 2 calendars. One by one I moved the appointments (don't have so much so I took my time) and after moved 1 appointment I made a sync with the device. Finally I created a new appointment in the device to check if this issue in particular appears, I repeated this process for every record in my calendar and nothing happens until I copied the recursive ones, so the problem is in this kind of records that occurs more than once in a period of time.
The solution, I think, is to recreate this recursive appointments, this way it didn't hangs the calendar again and I was able to sync this records with the desktop without problem.
Hope it helps (and I hope I'm not reposting some "old news")
and sorry for my english btw
skip to the end for the solution!
Our IS department helpfully upgraded our exchange server overnight to exchange 2010.
After putting in the new details we hit a problem - the calender refused to sync and just came back with the unhelpful "an error has occurred"
We did a bit of googling and realised that quite a few other people were having the same problem with 2010. Most had placed the fault with HTC or Android - we were able to do a bit of digging and certainly with our problems we found a solution.
We tried to sync with another account on our phones (2 different Desires one orange branded one "normal") another test account synced fine - no errors. So that narrowed the fault down to our specific exchange accounts. A bit more googling suggested that possibly corrupted entry's in the calender were causing the sync to fail - or open ended repeating appointments (such as birthdays)
Our IS department found 1 corrupted entry in my colleagues account (a meeting that appeared to be set for some time 3072 ....) I deleted all of my repeating birthdays (they were all in my Google cal anyway). Once this was done both accounts started to sync with no problems.
So the short version - if you cant sync with exchange 2010 on your HTC Desire - find and remove those corrupted entry's and/or delete/edit open ended repeating appointments.
Hopefully this will be useful to someone who will be able to avoid the same couple of hours of panic that we had this morning!
Argh. I cannot tell my users to delete all their open-ended recurring appointments when we migrate to Exchange 2010 later this year...
We also had this problem with exchange 2010 and a number of Desire's and have resolved it by following the advise on/showthread.php?p=6305877#post6305877"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6305877#post6305877[/URL]
When we selected all appointments, assigned a category, then selectd all appointments again and removed the category. waited 10 minutes to ensure Outlook cache and Exchange has synced.
After this the phones worked fine.

the open ended thing maybe not the solution - it may be that one of the recurring appointments was corrupted - could have just been coincidence
the category solution sounds much better !!
alternative for low number of users of exchange
sync emails and contacts normally, download htc sync to computer for calendar. Not Ideal but it works from exchange to the phone but not from the phone to exchange
I want to bump up this thread, as a form of thanks to TS, because after hours of troubleshooting (on why my calendar doesn't get sync), and numerous factory reset, I found out that it's indeed some corrupted entry in the calendar that causes the calendar not being able to sync!
Thanks ever so much!
This solution worked for me on a HTC Wildfire with Android 2.2
As advised, I went into my Desktop Outlook calender, and either deleted or "Saved & Closed" all recurring appointments. Used the month view for this. Works like a charm now! Thank you once again
i never had problem syncing with exchange 2010
Guys,
I had the same issue where the calendar wasn't syncing. The fix that I found was that I had some recurring appointments in outlook with no end date. I put an end date on these in outlook, let it sync back to the server and then the calendar synced first time.
Hey there. I've a problem with my Facebook synced contacts. The birthdays are all wrong by one day. If I look at one of these contacts then there is the birthday if written in and the facebook birthday which is wrong. Any idea how to solve this?
greetz Floh
upz for you as its happening to me as well ...
used to happen to windows mobile 6 when birthday was all day event and phone registrered birthday to next or previous day (i think it was previous). after several different sync i had 2 or 3 birthdays for each contact. really annoing.
i find that this is also happening in the new OTA 2.2 sense roms.
does anyone has a fix for this?
me too!! its just weird. And only some of the contacts (probably about 20%) are having such problems. The rest are fine.
help?
bringing this issue back for discussion.
I have similar problems with the facebook birthday sync it is one day earlier.
However, when i access the facebook page in the browser, the birthday is correct!
Makes me wonder if it could be due to time zone difference, as in the syncing is not adjusted for time zone differences.
for e.g. i'm in Singapore GMT +8:00. But in facebook, maybe its default is US time which is GMT -4 to -7, yet I cannot find anyway for me to choose my region and timezone in the facebook website, not in account settings or profile or etc...
Are people facing this problem living outside USA?
Mine was wrong by one month!
Anyone hv any idea ? I also facing the same problem. Birthday wrong by one day in calendar ....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Same problem here. Not all, but many birthdays are off by one day (displayed 1 day earlier).
Yup.. can be embarrassing , my friend at work had " two " birthdays ... was not sure so I broyght her a card on the wrong day ...a month early ...
Same thing here.
Mine too, I ended up putting everyone's birthday's that I cared about in manually.
Would be interested in a proper solution.
You can easily export your birthdays from Facebook to your PC and sync it with your Google Calendar. Later sync the whole thing with your HTC, works like a charm to me.
It has something to do with the time zone. I switched it from Central Time to GMT and the birthdays went from behind one day off to the correct day. Not sure how to fix it.

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue, i.e., duplicate instances of a single appointment. My MS-Outlook account is through my work so the settings are pretty much fixed. I have the account setup to push updates to my device. Here's an example of what's going on. Today I created a single one time instance of an appointment on my MS-Outlook client from my Laptop. When it arrived on my phone is shows on my calendar as 15 instances of the same meeting. Then like 10 minutes later I deleted the one instance of the meeting from my Laptop MS-Outlook client and it won't delete or remove the 15 instances from my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steven

For me the following finally helped..(after discussing with Samsung Developer Support)
backup all you calendar items in outlook using separate offline calendar.
once all items moved from this calendar do a sync.
then one after the other try to move the appointments back.
I tried with 3 appointments and since it worked with those 3 I moved all remaining at once (around 1000) and it worked
hope that helps

Correct. .no more issues. .
Update my HOX to 4.1.1 two weeks ago. Found out one strange issue related to Exchange Activesync Calendar
If setup an all day event of D day (one PC with Outlook or on HOX), Although the event will show up correctly in the stock Calendar App (at the top column of day view, as 1st attached picture), but if you tap it and enter the detail view, the event will show up as from D day 0:00 to D+1 day 0:00. <--as "Test Exchange in attached picture"
Setup a All day event in Google Calendar will have no this problem. When tap and enter the detail view of event, it will still show as "All Day" (as "Test Google" in attached picture", instead of "D day 0:00 to D+1 day 0:00"
This problem will make Calendar related APPs behave strangely. Like Smooth Calendar will show this "All Day" event whole day, even it was setup to hide the "All day" from SC's view.
Anyone has same issue or a solution?
It's confirmed that it's not happened before upgrade to 4.1.1, my other phone (Desire) with Gingerbread has no this problem when sync to same Exchange server, neither.
Thanks!
262 views and still no reply? Anyone confirmed this problem?
Probably just the way the two companies handle their calendars.
Outlook may be based on time.
Whereas Google may look at them as days, unless a time is stated.

Thanks for the reply. However, before update to 41.1, everything is okay... All day event is represented same for both Exchange and Google...
Since it's broken through the system (different calendar app shows same result), I suspect it's in the underlying Activesync code in 4.1.1, not just the problem of Calendar app.

Same problem here. All day events in Exchange calendar show up from 11:00 pm actual day til 11:00 pm next day. No solution found yet.
With Google calendar everything is okay.

Is there any update on this? I've got exactly the same problem with some all day entries (typically birthdays or anniversaries) appearing as starting at 23:00 on the correct day and running until 23:00 on the following day. Phone was updated to JB a few months ago and I only added the Active sync account on Monday. It is definitely an Android based problem as other devices (iPad, BlackBerry) work fine.
Waiting in antici.................................pation of an update.
I have the same issue with HTC One and Asus Infiniti tab The only thing that seems to help for now is to open every such recurring all-day event in Outlook, open the series properties, change the event hours from 00:00-00:00 to 00:00-23:59 (duration 2879 mins), save it. Wait for the phone to sync, open the event in Outlook once again and change the event hours back from 00:00-23:59 to 00:00-00:00 (duration 1 day). Wait for the phone to sync, everything is OK then. Little tiresome workaround, but at least it works. What is interesting it is definitely Android issue, because all my devices with Android 4.1+ have the same issue. I think it is somehow related to time zone issues. The other trick is to remove problematic event and create it directly from the phone's calendar app.
