[Q] ERROR? Contacts birthdays one day wrong - syncing from Exchange

I'm syncing all my contacts from my Exchange account, and have birthdays as part of the contact info for some contacts. Now I found that on my Desire Z (unbranded, never rooted, original ROM), all the birthdays appear the day after the actual birthday of said person. Not cool to miss a friend's birthday by one day
I made sure that time zone settings, date format, etc. are the exact same on the phone and the server, but that didn't help. I completely removed the exchange account after messing with the settings, to make sure to give it a chance to update correctly. No luck.
This was not a problem on my HTC Legend which was syncing with the same Exchange account.
Of course I tried searching the forum, but didn't find any issues similar to this. I'm sorry if I just missed it.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas as to how to resolve it?

Just to note you are not alone.
But in my case the birthday is one day to early and has a time added (22:00:00.000Z).
Also didn't find a solution so far. Didn't have this problem with original HTC ROM. So you should also mention which ROM you are running. Have this problem with CM 7.0.3 and also observed it in Enhanced Email which are both based on original source.
HTC may have fixed this already.

Same problem
I have the same problem on my Sony Ericsson Experia Pro. Birthdays are one day earlier than on Exchange Server. Did someone find the solution?

Which TimeZone are you in?
Cause I know if you use NZST (GMT +12) it has that same error.
I have contacted HTC about this bug previously, and they reckon they are working on it.
their recommended fix was using another GMT+12 timezone.

I had this same problem. My solution was to use Google Calendar and to use Google's Calendar Sync to sync to my Outlook, rather than my phone syncing directly to the PC.

[Q] Sync problem with Facebook app CM7

Okay I am running CM7 on my HTC Wildfire (Buzz),
The problem that I have is every time I log into Facebook on the official Facebook app that I downloaded from android market it always asks me to sync my contacts even after telling it that I don't want to.
with your answer please consider that I have also tried actually syncing as the app requests but I still receive the question every time I log in even if I did sync so how do I stop it from asking? anyone else experienced this? it never happened on HTC stock Roms...
Thanks to any answerers.

Hi, I'm running a similar set up to and not received any issues. It did ask me to sync the 1st time but i've not seen it come up again.
If you go to settings and then accounts & sync, see if your FB account is in there and turn sync to OFF.
You do this by clicking the account and then unchecking 'sync contacts'
See if that helps

ICS4.03: Email exchange issue?

My email worked fine with Exchange server in Gingerbread but since I've upgraded
to ICS is not working ok, it doesn't download all emails and I keep getting
"Connection Error" messages.
Who else is having issues with Exchange server in ICS4.0.3 ?
Can we report this issue somewhere to Samsung?

Got the same problem, contacts and calendar syncing, also in two days i got 3 emails on the device as well, but the oldest ones. Have bought Enhanced Email and is working perfect.

Mine is fine on bone stock LP7 or LPQ
check the exchange server for errors if you have access. the mobile device policy might be doing something funky

Problem I'm having is that when I configure my works's exchange environment settings, only the email and the contacts synch, the calendar is not synched at all. Same problem with the Enhanced Email app only mail and contacts and no calendar? Is this something with ICS specifically or with the kernel LP7.

running STOCK LPF with XXKL1 Baseband. was experiencing battery drain. apparently its a known issue with ICS 4.0.3. Tried couple different things and deleting account and re-adding seem to do the trick for me at this point

Same here

Having the same problem. Mail/contacts sync like a charm, but the calendar just gets stuck. Lot's of wakelocks when I enable it too...
Have been searching my *** off to get this fixed, but thus far, no solution. Tried re-adding the account, even wiping the whole phone, installing AOSP calendar/mail... nothing helps
A search on Google taught me it was a 4.0.3 bug btw, and google is kind of neglecting the whole thing :/
Bottom line is, you need to delete ALL of your reoccurring events. That's the only one i haven't tried yet
Edit: Just tried it, it worked! I just deleted some random events which were really old and sometimes in Outlook 2011 giving some problems with reminders. Now my calendar is syncing again. No wipe needed btw
What I did:
In outlook 2011 for OSX (but can be any mailclient) i created a local folder. I searched for reocurring events, and started moving them one by one to the local folder, which removes them from exchange. Every 3 items, i tried sync again, and after a few tries, my calendar started working.
The problem for me was with some birthdays, which were added from the contacts by my HTC Desire in the past

Syncing issue with stock mail app. Help.

Hi all. I am currently having sync issues with my hotmail on the stock mail app. Previously I had it setup on the actuall hotmail app available in the play store but have decided to go back to the stock app. Now, I set my account up, all setup is fine but when it syncs no emails show up.
I go into the settings and sync settings, it is all on push (even tested with manual on) and then hit sync and it says currently having issues and will be back up shortly. It's said this for the last 2 days. I checked the hotmail servers and they are running fine. Many people I know aren't having any issues.
I set up my email as pop3 and that worked fine but obviously no push. It was syncing perfectly when I was using the hotmail app.
I have a feeling something has gone wrong when I rooted the phone a couple weeks back because no one else seems to be having this issue, all other apps are syncing fine and it syncs fine with the hotmail app. When I first got the phone I was using the stock mail app and it was working fine that's the only reason I say something could've gone wrong in the root, I dunno.
Has anyone had this problem before or no of what this issue could be and how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam.
