T650i: iSync doesn't handle daylight saving?

Feedback Type: Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: Mats.L.Nilsson Thursday, October 18 2007 @ 02:34 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Computer: Mac OS X 10.4.10, Time zone (nearest city) = Stockholm
Phone: T650i, Time zone = GMT+1, Daylight saving = Yes (current date is October 18, 2007)

Today October 18 we're on Daylight saving. I start my usage by resetting the phone with iSync. Date range for Daylight saving (DD) = 2007-03-25 – 2007-10-28. Result is that all iCal activities (on phone) within DD are correct. Outside DD they're 1 h off.

Then if I create activities within DD and outside the result is:
- activities are always correct on unit where created, phone or Mac.
- on unit that didn't create activity, the activity is 1 h off if activity is outside DD, otherwise correct.

Is this a bug or are my settings somehow wrong?

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the way the calendar in Sony Ericsson phones handles the clocks changing - all Sony Ericsson phones do it.

Currently there is no workaround. All you can do is to re-sync the phone after the clocks change. This issue is mentioned on the Support pages.
