Syns Issue / All-day-Event / Recurring /Birthday

[KNeger]

I have just switched from HTC Desire to One X and experience this with most of my contact birthdays with the OneX (not on Desire before) in the standard Google Calendar App. I sync my calendar from an Exchange environment.
Birthdays of people before, approx, 1984 now show as appointment starting at 23:00hrs and ending the next day at 23:00 hrs. This is messing up my overview of a day.
Now I just entered a new contactperson with Birthday 17th of March 1984 and shows correctly as All-day-event on top of day-view starting at 00:00hrs at 17th and ending at 00:00 18th. When I change the birthday to 16th of March 1984 (or earlier) it switches back to starting 16th at 23:00hrs and ending at 17th 23:00hts again...
This could implicate couple of thing...
- I live in timezone UTC+1 (CET), so there could be a Time Zone issue, but they are all correct and the same as far as I can see
- something is changed in DST, but as far as I know not the case in Europe
- Microsoft is mentioning a DST change tool, that would be for USA DST change, but the date does not correspond with 1984
- Microsot has rolled-out a work-around in all of their products, but in the back-ground the data is still corrupt.
- Android has a serious bug to fix?

Anyone any idea? It really makes me crazy

P.S. my iPad, Outlook 2010 and OWA all show birthdays correctly

Hi
Have the same problem, no one has a solution to this?

Nope, nothing, yet! Have called HTC yesterday and have to call back today. I hope they have a solution, but it sounded like they heard about the issue for the first time

HTC wants to test with a test account, but cannot arrange that... Set my phone back to factory defaults and the calendar looked fine again. Now, 2 days later I received an update to version 3.14.401.27 and my calendar is messed-up again!
So it must be somewhere in there...

Found that there was an update released in december 2012. Just installed it, but issue still remains...
Should I get back to factory defaults...???!??!?

Well, one step further in the issue... we switched to summer-time last weekend and now the issue is even bigger; birthdays now show at 22:00hrs. To me, it looks like their is time substracted from the original GMT; this used to be 1 hour and is now (due to summer-time) 2 hours...
No one a solution, yet????

Well, it must be an Android issue!
Just tested my Exchange account @Nexus10; Calendar also messes up most of the recurring all-day events...
Will try to post it @Google
