Possible local Time Zone inconsistencies between Google Calendar & i.doit.im ?

Platform:All

I am a newbie by using your GTD web app for my personal & work week planning as I have been done it by using Google Calendar since its inception. I synced all my more than 15 calendars with i.doit.im. I use each calendar as a sort of project or context, so for me your GTD app is what I was looking for. Also I am using your Android 4.0+ app.

I set on your Preferences > General Settings > Time Zone: Preferences > General Settings > Time Zone: to (GMT-6) Central America and when it synchronizes with Google Calendar, it moves all my calendars one hour earlier. A task schedule made for 08:00 on i.doit.im appears at 07:00 on Google Calendar.

Please advice asap for get your full version.

Hi,

Please make sure that the time zone in Doit.im is the same as the one on Google Cal.

Are tasks show the same start time on web version and Android version when you set the same time zone on them?
Note: The time zone for Android app follows the time zone of the Android device.

Best regards,

Hi there,

Yes, both time zones are the same. Android device has same time zone as laptop device. Android Calendar widgets & google calendars shows same times for all my calendars on laptop web browser.

I.doit.im - google calendar time sync issue remains. Please advice.

Hi - similar question - I just synced up my Google calendar (just one) with the iPhone app and web programme, and it has now moved EVERY appointment to a different time - not just an hour ahead but totally different times. In some cases it's moved appointments to different days. What's going on?

Hi - both my Google calendar and doit.im are set to (GMT+00:00)London. I'm not sure what I could screengrab to prove my point - basically *every* event has changed time completely in my calendar.

Hi,

Do you mean that all day tasks will go to another day and not all day tasks will go to another time?

Could you please give me more detailed informations? Tell me a task title and the time on Doit.im and on GCal by private comments?

Hello MGShanks ,
I have the same problem. Both time zones are set for Prague (that is GMT+1), but events in Google Calendar are planned 1 hour later (instead of 8PM Google Calendar shows 9PM).

I think that the problem is in summer time. Google Calendar has the setting GMT+1 because it is Prague, but it knows that during summer all Europe moves time 1 hour ahead (@MGShanks: I dont know if you are familiar with summer time). So it actually uses GMT+2, but data from DoIt comes with GMT+1 and therefore it moves all times 1 hour ahead.

This is however just my theory.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Is the time right when events sync from GCal to Doit.im?

We will check this issue.

Same here, in Hungary. Since the daylight saving time change on 29th march, Doit and Google Calendar works fine together with Doit on UTC, while Google Cal on +1 with DST. Before that using the same +1 for Budapest, Hungary worked fine.

Without changing the time inconsistent in Doit with GCal, the 2-way sync ruined my appointments by one hour. Though it's not a good solution, since Doit keeps giving me wrong reminders now.

Please, implement DST for the different countries that use them. I'd be more than happy. Otherwise, this is the best ToDo App I've tried so far, and with the trial period being almost over, I'm definitely going to buy a subscription.

Thanks,

Gyozo
