| Turn time zones off? | JGrubb | 6/8/09 5:54 AM | My band uses Google calendar while on tour, etc. We experience problems when accessing the web version from the iPhone while traveling between time zones. I've tried every janky workaround in the book, but the simplest solution would be to turn the |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | kazemi | 6/16/09 11:37 AM | I want to second this request. The current time zones feature is making Google Calendar completely unusable for me when I travel, and it would be really helpful to just turn off the time zones feature and have every time I enter for events stay the |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | JoeClark | 6/19/09 12:48 PM | I'm similarly frustrated by not being able to specify the timezone in which an event occurs when adding it. I have some calendar specific time zones set (for calendars that correspond to specific geographic locations), which are different from my de |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | red rider | 8/19/09 8:58 AM | I'm right there with you all. I'm new to Google Calendar and rely on it to tell me where to be on my phone. I spent a long time planning appointments for a week long trip with multiple destinations. Everything got knocked around whenever I travele |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | _Jack_ | 9/15/09 11:50 AM | I would like to "fifth" this request, if there is such a thing. The time zone deal is wreaking havoc with my calendar. I'm an airline pilot and I am trying to use the calendar to keep track of my kids' and wife's schedule while on the road. Now I am |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | gooberman | 10/5/09 12:24 AM | Yes!!!!! I can't enter all day appointments from another time zone because when I get home the calendar overlaps the days for the reasons mentioned above. The time zone feature is a massive annoyance, and I wish I could just disable it. |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | fspevak | 10/7/09 3:06 PM | I seventh the frustration. I think that there should be a way to designate an appointment time as absolute - meaning DON'T CHANGE TIME BASED ON TIME ZONE. The multiple calendar idea seems to be a bad workaround. Do I need 4 US calendars to schedul |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | amurdaugh | 10/22/09 7:32 AM | Agreed. I missed a wedding gown fitting on a recent trip back home because Google calendar tried to be "helpful" and converted my 12pm appointment to a 3pm appointment. Please let us turn this function off! |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | Downwitda | 11/1/09 2:34 PM | Add me to the list of people who would like this feature changed and/or disabled. I access Google Calendar on my phone often and wouldn't mind the time zone feature if, when creating an event (i.e. plane flight), you could specify the time zones for |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | agedashi.tofu | 11/19/09 8:44 AM | Im in the same boat--I travelled to eastern USA from Pacific.. everything switched to +3hours when I was travelling, but it won't switch back now that I'm back in Pacific... it switched automatically to the travelled-to time zone, but it doesn't swit |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | JGrubb | 11/19/09 9:34 AM | There is time a setting on the iPhone for Time Zone Support to be turned on or off, but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything to help our problem that everyone seems to be having that Google for some reason has a Help Forum set up and a dozen e |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | tomdef1 | 12/17/09 3:39 AM | YES!!! I am having exactly the same problem as JGrubb, we want to use for our artists schedules (they are all based in different countries), we need to enter events which should be displayed as 'local time' wherever the artist is, if they subscribe o |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | ericspenguin | 12/17/09 9:51 AM | Turning time zones off, making entire calendars timezone-agnostic, would be fantastic. I use my calendar the same way I used my physical datebook: both to plan future events and as a record of past events. Because ever changing my time zone will sc |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | mckenrick | 1/9/10 2:14 PM | Edit Averaging 240 days a year "on the road" an accurate calendar is very important. Until I switched to the Droid, I entered the time based on what I knew would be the local time for that appointment where ever in the world it was. I could us a fun |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | scottnan | 1/10/10 3:53 PM | I agree with everything said above. I am adding this reply in the hope that with enough replies, someone at Google will notice this thread and recognize our overwhelming desire to disable this feature. To summarize my frustration: it is logical that |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | ChristinaAdams | 1/19/10 3:27 PM | If I'm sitting in Chicago and schedule a meeting for 9am when I'm going to be in Los Angeles why in the world would I ever put it in my calendar for 7am?! Please, please give me a 'no time zone' option! |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | pf2112 | 2/3/10 9:22 AM | Clearly we are all facing the same issue here. I have the Moto Droid phone with Android and every time I change time zones Google Calendar shifts the times of my events. I knew I was traveling when I put those appointments on my calendar. I know t |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | ksmrfrd | 2/11/10 2:36 PM | Same problem as all above. Does anyone know of a calendar application that works better? All this changing of times if driving me crazy... |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | jbferree | 2/13/10 7:14 PM | Add me to the tally. Google, please give us a "disable time zone" option. |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | fwallenberg | 2/15/10 6:11 AM | Sign me up!!. This is not only a Google Calendar problem. Apple has the same issue in iCal. I suspect that the problem is that the ical format includes time-zone information ... someone must have figured it was a great feature. Now add another flag t |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | kotsatos | 3/2/10 1:49 PM | Yes, we need to be able to either specify a time zone, or specify no time zone when an event is scheduled. This is useful for flights, etc. Similarly, the time of my appointment in California, should stay in Cali time, even when I'm in New York unl |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | daisybelle | 3/7/10 8:37 AM | I'm adding my vote to this too. Changing timezones on my Google calendars wreaks havoc with my Palm OS syncing, among other things. |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | Keram2 | 3/8/10 2:16 PM | This is a real problem. I manage an artist that's touring in Sweden, and our inability to specify time zones is becoming such a pain we're considering moving to a different service that allows for time zone agnostic events. |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | ericspenguin | 3/15/10 11:48 AM | I was just filling out a feedback survey and discovered that Google Calendar has a twitter account: http://twitter.com/googlecalendar A potentially useful and public forum for expressing these issues. |
| Re: Turn time zones off? | Spathaky | 3/23/10 10:11 AM | I have just returned to the UK from Australia and have found all my UK appointments have been altered by 11 hours. How DARE Google do this. If I enter an appointment for 9 a.m. it means I need to be there at 9 a.m. by the local time of the appointmen |
