Windows 10: Calendar events don't align with time of day

Hi,


Using the Win10 Calendar app, all the events on my weekly calendar don't match the times on the left. It seems like everything is shifted by 15 minutes and the hours don't match the dark lines across the week. For example, the 1-hour events in the picture start at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm, but none are aligned correctly with the times. Any idea to solve this?

:)

 

Google calendar event times are shown as -1h

Summary:

When I create a new event in the built in WP8 calendar app to a Google calendar the time of the event is being displayed as one hour earlier.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new event in calendar. Choose one of the Google calendars configured (I have two configured in my phone). Set time as 2013/07/17 16:00. Save the event.

Expected behavior:

The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00.

Observed behavior:

The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00 for a few seconds. It then automatically changes to 2013/07/17 15:00.

Other notes:

• I have two Google calendars configured. I can observe the same misbehavior on both.
• I also have a Microsoft (@hotmail.com) calendar configured. This works as expected.
• When I log into my Google calendar using a web browser, the time is shown as expected.
• When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and sync my Google account directly, the time is shown as expected.
• When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and use it simply as an interface to the built in WP calendar the time is off again showing 2013/07/17 15:00.
• The timezone on my WP is set to (UTC) London.
• I started noticing this perhaps a week ago. It was working as expected before.
• Phone model is Nokia Lumia 925
• Phone OS version is 8.0.10327.77

Notes 1-6 suggests to me that the internal calendaring module in WP8 fails to recognize DST (daylight saving time) in timezone (UTC) London or misinterprets relevant information fields on Google calendar objects.

Note 7 suggests to me that this is related to an update to my WP8 phone or a change in Google calendar API.



Any help is much appreciated, this is driving me rather nuts.



Thanks,

Kaarel

 

Calendar Timed & All Day Events

I think it's fair to say the the Lumia 920 Calendar app is pretty rudimentary.

I am looking for an app that will display both timed and all day events on the same wide live tile.

I have tried MyNextDays and Week8 and whilst they are both better than the in-built app neither allows me to do what I need to do?

Is it a Hotmail thing or a phone thing? For instance, if I ditched my Hotmail calendar and synced to Google instead would this solve my problem?

Any suggestions??

Thanks

 

Calendar Timed & All Day Events

Yes, thanks, I did. I was initially put off by the poor reviews but I threw caution to the wind and spent the £0.79 anyway!

It may have been the selection of events in my calendar at the time - I'm on leave - but it also appeared that if you checked the 'All Day Events' box, you eliminated the timed events from the tile

But mostly, it was because there was no calendar to review your schedule in more detail when you clicked on the tile. So I still needed a second tile for the native calendar.
