Can anyone help me solve this issue!
when i add an event in my calendar directly on my iphone, it immediately turns it into GMT time.  there is a memo under the event that says GMT and if I go into the calendar its locked in gmt time.
If i enter the same event in calendar on my computer, NO GMT.
I tryed the apple store and all they succeeded in doing was wipe my phone clean of all my settings.
Still a problem.  
I used to be able to add events with this GMT stuff, but no it shows up on everything!!

Hi Keveen,

Bill,

I am having the same issue as Bill (also only on iPhone and iPad but not computer) and spent an hour today with a "genius" who said that he thinks it is a bug in gmail not an "i" device issue.  If you find someone at your apple that can fix, please suggest that they share company wide.  Thanks!! 

My calendar app is doing the same.  I contacted Apple and they said it was a known Google issue, but that there was no fix as of this time.

I'm not sure if you've found a fix for this yet, but I just updated my 5c last night to iOS 8.1.2 and once i was in the add event area of the calendar and was entering my start time, I was able to select the correct time zone & GMT is no longer showing  Hope this helps.

Following this forum and I also have the same problem.  I have done the update and test wassen my problems started. So I don't think update is the answer.

Yesterday I did the latest update hoping it would correct this calendar issue. No such luck. Why are some of us having this issue and others aren't? I feed my emails into Outlook on my laptop but not into an exchange server. Does that matter? I have tried every suggestion possible. Absolutely nothing will fix this. My husband is convinced it's my phone, however, I've owned my 5s for a year. It's driving me insane!!!

I disagree, I contacted an Apple representative this morning and the issue is with Google. I went into Gmail and checked my account settings in Calendar and my time zone is set to (GMT-5:00) Eastern Time... Thus, when I sync my calendar in my phone with Gmail, it schedules my events and then also makes the start time for the event five hours later. This is an issue with Google.

I've got the same issue on my iPhone 6, but only with the calendars that are linked to my Google Calendar. All my iCloud calendars are not affected - this adds weight to the evidence that it is a Google issue.

David, that's what I've been doing however you also have to change the time back to the correct time for your time zone.

GMT - 5 hours IS Eastern time, so that option is the correct setting in Google Calendar.

Keveen, I tried your suggestion and it didn't work.

My experience with Apple is that they're oblivious outside the Apple ecosystem.

We all need to contact Apple support so they're aware of how many users it's affecting.

Yes, you're right - you have to re-correct the time/timezone.

There are no options called "Time Zone Support". Instead there's an option "Time Zone Override".

I tried turning it on and off, setting it to my current timezone but nothing worked.

I'm having the same issues--the annoying GMT shows up on events that I create on my iphone or ipad but not from my mac laptop.   I tried the time zone override under settings--mail, contacts, and calendars and it didn't help.   I'll be watching to see if anyone else figures out a fix--at least I'm not alone!!    If one would contact Apple--where specifically is the best way to communicate with them.

Here my discovery: created an event on my iPhone for an ICloud calendar; no 'GMT' showed up.  Then, I moved the event to a Google calendar and the GMT showed up.  Certainly a Google issue.  

Creating it on apples calender and moving it to Gmail doesn't prove its google's issue or Apple's. If I create an event on Google calender there is no GMT either until it's synced with ICal. So in the end there's an issue between Apple and Google calender. Who's causing the issue seems to be up for grabs at this point.

Hi Sam,

I don't think we can say it's definitively a Google issue.

It's either:
a) A data transmission problem with Apple (ie it doesn't send the correct timezone info to Google's calendar); or

b) A data reception problem with Google (ie it doesn't receive the correct timezone info from Apple's calendar).

Agree totally! 👍

Odd. When I create an event in Google using Safari on a Mac, I don't see any GMT issues using the native calendar app on my IPhone 6. The issue only pops up with Google (not other calendar apps) which- again- suggests a Google issue.
By the way, when I create an event on my IPhone, I can go to Google on my Mac, edit the Time Zone, and once the event syncs, the GMT issue goes away [for that appointment only] on my IPhone.

Seems- as a previous poster mentioned- Google doesn't correctly preserve the time zone information. The issue seems to only happen in one direction (Apple to Google) and only after syncing. (I don't see the GMT issue until I can see the appointment on my Google cal)

Not an IT guy at all. Just wanting to fix the issue. It almost caused an issue today when I edited an event on my iPhone. Guess Google/Apple have been given a heads-up, so we just wait now?  

You're right Sam, it is an 'Apple-to-Google' issue, but what we can't determine, is whether it's Apple's transmission problem, or Google's reception problem.

Thanks David. How do we go forward?  

If it were an Apple Trans issue, we would see GMT pop up if Apple synced with- say- Yahoo?  I just tried that and had no such problem. And, again if I switch the cal from yahoo to gmail I get the GMT issue. Again, not an IT guy and not trying to be argumentative. Thanks.

Nice Sam! Looks like a Google reception issue then 😊

To report this issue to Apple, go to: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Thanks Pam but I think this is a Google issue. Seems the way to get the message through to Google is via this Forum. Happen to know what that process looks like?  Thanks!

Having the same unwanted GMT problem on my iPad. Time zone corrections can be made for each indivdual event, but this is not optimal.  

I recently returned from an EST to PST back to ESt trip. Any correlation?

Hi everyone, 

It's an Apple iOS 8.1.2 issue because the common denominator is iOS, not Apple's Mac OS desktop platform, not Windows, not Android, Windows Phone, or Blackberry - all of which continue to work seamlessly with unchanged Google Calendar. Google Calendar hasn't changed; iOS 8 has changed with issues galore. It's on Apple's end. QED.

By Apple tribal fan boys' reasoning, the conclusion will never be that it's Apple's fault. Antenna Gate? Users' faults for holding their phones wrong. Obsolete 0.5" screen form-factors? Steve said modern big screens were dumb, so people who wanted bigger screens were dumb and causing polar-bear-killing global warming with their modern big screened Androids. Apple Maps' innumerable fails? The US Air Force was obviously screwing with the GPS constellation while satellite manufacturers were distorting satellite pics to make Apple look bad. Yeah, the Google Maps that Apple blocked worked fine on every other platform, but it was not Apple's fault! LMFAO. >$1k for an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB with more errors and less screen real estate and capability than an Android at half the cost. I see I made a good choice.

Fan boys' heads explode whenever Apple doesn't just work.
Glitches have plagued iOS 8 iterations ever since they released - documented in countless iPhone forums blowing up.

How many non-iPhone forums have been blowing up about Google Calendar switching time zones to Greenwich Mean Time? Zero. Apple's got your money. Now go stand in line for 2 hours at an Apple Store for a 10 minute session with some unshowered hipster telling you it's a Google issue, your 60 days support for your $1,000 device is expired, and you should drop another $100 for an Apple Support plan, where 4 different non-native English-speaking phone reps can give you 4 different answers.

Don't worry. In October, you can give Apple $1100 for an S model "upgrade." Tell any Samsung user about these Apple-just-works problems and how much you paid for your i-conformist-awesomeness.

Wow, jkirk, angry much?  Why do you have an Apple product if you hate them?

Just to address a few of the issues you mentioned:

1. It cannot be an 8.1.2 issue as I have not downloaded that update.

2.  All other calendars work w/o changing events  to GMT.  That problem is limited strictly to Google Calendar.

3.  Let me state first that I do not work for Apple nor does anyone I know that would cause me to benefit from saying the following:  Apple customer service is awesome!  I would venture to say I've had tens of thousands of dealings with companies in my lifetime.  Most have been nothing short of completely frustrating.  Apple & Canon as well, are superior in the training of their employees.  I ALWAYS get an English speaking representative & I've never been transferred or left on hold for ridiculous amounts of time.  I've received assistance without being charged even outside of my warranty.  I've had a representative call me back just to check that my issue had been resolved.  
Yes, the stores are ALWAYS crowded, but that indicates a banging business!  I think you're jealous!  I know I wish I had a piece of that Apple!  Lol.  As far as price, my 5s cost me a whopping $75.  If anyone is paying full price they're crazy.  

In closing, Merry Christmas, jkirk.  I hope Santa brought you some Xanax; you could use it!   ;)

Oh & jirk, I have a Galaxy as well.  It's getting upgraded to an Apple next month when my contract is up.

Agree Kelmye. Really seems to be Google issue and glad to see that a Google representative gave their calander team a heads-up.

actually, you get 365 days of support for your Apple device... and 365 days for $99 with applecare...along with being able to get a broken phone replaced twice for only $79 rather than the $200 insurance that you already pay $10 a month for...

Me too...and Verizon, Apple and Gmail all pass the buck to each other.  Any idea who I report my problem to for real resolution?

Please see also the following cross-references:

Still another discovery: I downloaded the Sunrise calendar app onto my IPhone 6 and do NOT get this GMT error when I create events in Sunrise.  

I only get the GMT error when the event is created on iOS no matter the device: be it an iPhone or Mac, etc. Events created in Google do not show GMT on an i-device upon sync.

Events created on an I-Device and synced to a non-Google calendar (ie Yahoo) do not create this error.

I can correct the GMT error several ways including going to Google via Safari (or whatever), editing the event and selecting the appropriate time zone.

This error happens even on IPhones that haven't been updated to the last IOS.

***All devices, accounts are set on the correct time zone.

Just another data point. As a test I set up a calendar on my own server that connects via caldav (same protocol Google uses). I got the same bad behavior on iOS 8.1 as with my Google-hosted calendars. And, as with the Google calendars, the problem does not occur on other platforms (e.g. OSX, Android Kit Kat). Looks to me that iOS 8 doesn't play nice with caldav.

My iPhone is doing GMT time too! It's such a relief others are having same problem and that something is being done! After changing settings the time shows correctly if my phone is vertical, but if I turn it sideways to see the week, the times all convert to GMT! It does work to manually reset the time zone for  each event...and to change the time back to the correct time.
Verizon tech rep said to wipe my phone clean and reset everything. If I understand correctly you all are saying that won't fix it?

Same issue. IDK who's issue it is, but when I use the iOS calendar, I always get GMT in my Google calendar events. If I use any other calendar app, I don't get the problem any more. So long IOS calendar!

I would be interested in receiving information about the fix as I am having this issue since upgrading from iPhone 5S to 6. Thanks.

I have been having this issue for several weeks, too, and I am glad to find out I am not alone. I have a 5s and have already upgraded to ios 8.1.2. I still have the issue with that update installed . Like everyone else, if I input the calendar info on my computer's Google Calendar, it syncs fine with my iPhone. It's when I enter info into the iPhone when teh GMT switch happens. I double checked today when entering something to make sure I was putting it onto EDT (my time zone) and it was set for that, yet when I saved the entry it switched itself to GMT. Hoping someone either on Google or Apple's side comes up with a fix.

I agree with your assessment.  That has been my experience as well.

It can't just be a Google issue because it happens on my Yahoo Calendar also...

Jarrett Gorin-you are AMAZING!!! Thank you for all of the info!! You are correct-I've had this problem since September. I cannot wait for this bug fix. It's killing me! Happy New Year!!

Just to add - I have the 4S, using Google calendar to sync to the Apple calendar app.  Problem started with my recent update to ios 8.1.2 - which was about 3 weeks ago.  Not sure if that's just the timing of the issue between Google & Apple or if the update caused the problem (not likely, based on responses here, so must be coincidental).  I used online chat with Apple, and wiped the phone clean, and it didn't work.  Went to Apple store, they said "must be a Google problem since when the test event is posted it shows correctly, and takes a few seconds to change it to GMT - once it syncs with Google".  I can't tell you how annoying it is to have to go into EVERY event I create on my phone and edit it back to the correct time zone.  I primarily use the calendar on  my phone and not on the desktop - the desktop sync is simply a backup function for me.  However, I did notice that when I enter the event on the desktop as a test it does not switch to GMT.  It is definitely some function of Apple not talking to Google or Google not talking to Apple in the correct format.  That's my totally non-IT explanation. :)

Here's a question for you all - is there a Google calendar  app I can use instead of the ios app and solve this problem? Or is there an easy way to migrate my Google calendar data to an icloud calendar?  I just want to use a system where I have a backup in case my phone is lost, dies, etc.

I was at the Genius bar at Apple today with this same complaint and they tried to pass it off as a Google problem!!

I was at the Apple store yesterday with this exact same problem. The genius actually told me that it was a problem with the iOS update. What we did to solve it was to install a Google calendar called CalenMob. The free version is okay but I upgraded to the $6.99 version that has all of the features. This solves the problem of switching things to GMT time zone. But because you're not going to the ICal calendar anymore, Siri doesn't know what your plans are for tomorrow, but that's really not a big issue for me.  

So until the bug in the iOS update gets fixed, the best solution seems to be just install that app with the new calendar. I think the app has a better look to it anyway but once again, that's just my opinion. Good luck!

This procedure has worked for me on both my iPad and iPhone.

Add the event to the calendar as you normally would, but make it a weekly repeating event that has an end date less than one week away. It then appears in the calendar in your local time zone and does not repeat.

This worked for me too. It's a bit of extra work, but effective.

Thanks Jarrett for the detailed answer!

I've had the same problem and have given up waiting for Apple to fix this bug.  Try the free Sunrise calendar by Sunrise Atelier, Inc.  Does all that Google calendar does with some nice refinements.

same issue- so annoying. Just spent 2 + hours on Apple "chat" support. No solution. Please update if you hear that apple fixed it on IOS. Thanks.

This is not an apple calendar issue. If you switch your calendars to iCloud they won't show GMT.

I spent time today with a "genius" at Apple Store. They are seeing more and more of this. Google and Apple agree that it is a problem in the IOS and Apple is working on a "fix" so look for another update. This started happening on my iPhone and iPad after the last update. Very frustrating.

We can only HOPE they address a fix quickly. Been dealing a this for over s month!'

I've had the same problem for several weeks now. Tried this fix and it works! Great temporary solution for me. Thanks!

Which fix are you talking about?

This fix that worked for me:

I was having the exact same problem.  Super annoying and confusing for anyone I invited to a calendar event.  I needed to manually select the correct time zone when I created the event on my iPhone to make the GMT go away.  Hopefully that helps until whoever is responsible fixes this bug.

I was having this same problem with GMT time on my iPhone running IOS 8. What I did was - go to: Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; Time Zone Override: turn green button on.  Then select the city of your time zone ie: New York. Go back  to settings and to your desk top. Check your Calendar and it should now reference the new city.

Mine corrected itself partly...when I put in an event it shows correctly in my time zone, UNLESS I turn my phone sideways! Then the event shows up in GMT time. For now after I add an event, I edit it (while holding my phone sideways) by changing the time and the timezone on the GMT event and that takes care of it. The time override button in settings didn't affect the GMT on my phone.
Hopefully since there seem to be partial fixes going on, it means Apple and/or Google are fixing the problem!

Fixed the GMT time problem on my iPhone running IOS 8. What I did was - go to: Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; Time Zone Override: turn green button on.  Then select the city of your time zone ie: New York. Go back  to settings and to your desk top. Check your Calendar and it should now reference the new city

See my post on 1/7/15. Instructions are there.  Good luck!  User Me...

https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/ is one place to try to contact them. I am having this issue as well, very annoying.

The only thing that seems to work is to change your default calendar to "home" instead of your email.  However, not sure if this means you won't see the event on any other devices.....

Just got off phone with Apple Support.  They have been hit with lots of phone calls and finally realize there is a problem.  Hoping to have it resolved by Monday.  Something in the latest ios update caused glitch.  Thought I was loosing my mind and my husband told me I must have done something to my phone and settings.  I am not the most tech savvy person and don't venture into settings and changing anything.

I did all the "fixes" mentioned above and it works for a couple times and then goes right back to GMT.  

This didn't work for me.  THis issue just started happening with me at the first of this year.  It was not a problem prior.

I love how they pass the buck. Totally NOT a google issue.

unfortunately I've tried this several times and it did not work for mine. 

Same issue here. UGH! Tried everything.

It can't be an 8.1.2 problem since I didn't download that update.  

What you can do as a temporary fix is to add your appt. time alongside the event in the title & then select "all day event".

Attached is my chat with an apple support rep on this issue. There was no resolution or decent work around. He ended up saying that both apple and google engineers are aware of the issue and are working together to resolve it. He initially mentioned that this was a google server issue. I don't know what side the issue falls on, but if they are aware of it then it may be fixed soon. 

Jonathan Stauffer...thanks for posting your chat with Apple! It's encouraging to know Apple and Google are at least aware of the problem!!

Correct. It doesn't wirk.

any progress?/

I'm so frustrated that this STILL isn't fixed!! It's the only calendar I use for our whole family so everybody can see anywhere. Ugh so annoying!!

I  believe it is an upload error from iPhone to Google.  If I add an event to iPhone there is a slight delay to when the "GMT" label shows up.  Which would seem to mean when the event syncs to Google the time zone is being changed.  If I then go the Google calendar and open the event for edit the correct time zone is shown.  Then if I save the event even though I didn't change anything, the event refreshes on the iPhone to the correct time zone and the "GMT" disappears.  So there seems to be an sync error (or time hand-off error) from the iPhone to Google but not from Google to the iPhone.  In addition this also happens on an old iPhone 3G running iOS 6.1.6 .

I need to modify the steps above.   When the event is changed in Google calendar the event shows no time zone in the edit window.  If you click on the "Time Zone" and save it as your current time zone, the iPhone calendar now shows the correct time zone and no "GMT".

I sent a message to apple about these Calendar bugs in 8.1.2  If we all send them a similar message--perhaps they will pay more attention to this matter.

Not sure what else to do --short of driving down to Cupertino and knocking on their door.

This is the web address for Apple Support and complaints.... Perhaps a 100+ emails will get their attention
Thanks to all

I had one event with a repeat that worked correctly yesterday.  Then I made a test entry a few minutes later, with no repeat, and it went back to GMT.  It did take longer to "reset" itself to GMT than the second or two it normally takes - it was more like 30 seconds.  Don't know if this means they are working on it or not.  Changing time zone override does nothing for me - that was one of the first things I tried.  When I went to the Apple store about 10 days ago, he had never seen it before and simply said "it's a Google problem" since it changes once the event syncs with Google.  The real question is - is it that iphone is not talking to Google correctly or is Google not talking to iPhone correctly when the sync happens?  Hope they figure it out soon - but I bet it will require another software update which may take weeks.

This doesn't work-great suggestion but the trouble is more complex. Suggest everyone go to Apple,com site and send contact to Apple.

This problem is maddening!!  What isn't this being fixed pronto????!!!!!

My iPhone has dropped the GMT!!! Yay! Thanks to all of you who took time to officially complain!

I read the last post & was super excited.... Only to find my phone still adds the GMT.  Did u do something specific to make it stop?

Hi all,

same here

I cannot believe this issue has not been resolved yet. Regardless of who's responsible, for a niggling issue like this affecting 2 tech giants to be unresolved after a month is ridiculous!

You think a month is a long time? The bug where Mail shows empty messages dated 1/1/70 has been there for years and it's still not fixed today. So this could take a loooong time.

This is true for me as well and only since Daylight Savings Time went into effect in November: NOT when I got my new phone in September - I have tried adjusting setting in my google calendar - but it continues to revert to a 5 hour time difference.

Kelmye,
All I did was after each event was added, and the event would automatically show up as a second event in GMT time,  I'd hit edit for the 2nd event, change the time to the correct time for my timezone, and then change the GMT timezone to my timezone.
After doing this for a while, my phone stopped adding GMT...I thought Apple or Google had fixed something...

Commenting here to Bookmark this. I have the same problem.

I called apple today and they said its a bug they are aware of and will have to be fixed by the google/iOS engineers.  They couldn't guarantee when it would be fixed but that it will be patched in an update at some point.  

Issue: every time I add a new calendar event, it automatically changes to "GMT" within 1 second.  

Jan Waluk - THANK YOU for figuring out this workaround.  It does take a couple more steps, but that's less annoying than the GMT appearing. 

Jessica Shanberg - I can't convert my calendar to iCloud - my events won't transfer over from Google calendar.  I'm all for it if it would work.  I just want to have an online backup of my calendar and that's the only reason I started using Google Calendar a couple years ago.

well unfortunately when i talked to apple, they said it's a google issue. so no one is taking responsibility!

I am having the same problem.  Verizon could not help me as they don't know what to do.

As of right now it seems to be an Google issue, since this doesn't do it with my iCloud calendar but does do it with my google calendar. Apple has stated its aware of the issue and is working on it. I have given the feedback and got a reply for Apple Engineering. Unfortunately when call apple you are talking with a person sitting  at there house and they don't know everything that is going in with Apple. I've contacted Apple engineering and they said they are working on it and it's an issue with specific types of syncing accounts and how the sync. Some people are having the issue with exchange accounts also.

Thanks.  Let's all keep up the pressure and contact google and Apple.

I am experiencing this issue as many others are. Again, it happens when I create an event on the iOS device, not when an event is created on Google Calendar and synced to the iOS device later.

Me too!!!!

Jarrett, thanks so much for the detailed contact info.  I think the best that we can do is to make "noise" about the issue regardless if it is with initiation or transmission.  We are all experiencing the frustration and confusion the GMT listing is creating and unless you edit every appt added into the iOS, there isn't much we can do right now.  Let's just "make noise" and get our voices heard!

A miracle happened a day or so ago. My calendar issue is resolved. I didn't do anything. Do you think they are only fixing a few at a time? I was watching for an IOS update but haven't reveived one. Hope I don't jinx myself by sharing!

mine is fixed also !!

Thanks everyone
L

I was getting excited.  Mine still doesn't work.  Did you power off or do anything?

I didn't do anything. Happened by itself a few days ago
(I have an iPhone 6 running version 8.1.2

This looks right.  I finally found the setting.  Go to your calendar app and check the time zone setting under settings.  Seems to work on mine. 

Go to your google calendar, click on settings, and check your time zone there.

Whew, I'm glad it's not just me going crazy and that this seems to be a legit bug. Hopefully it will get fixed ASAP! Never had any issues in the past. I've been able to work around it by posting the event (which gets converted to GMT), then going back into the event and changing the time to my time zone manually (which it is already set as, but with this bug, I have to do it again). It's a pain in the ***, but at least my stuff is entered correctly. Meanwhile, get on this, Apple!

Me too. Quick work around. Create appointment on iOS calendar for Google calendar. Quickly select appointment again after adding. Toggle "all day" on then off. Close appt. No GMT. Gotta be quick though otherwise it gets added in.

Just FYI.  This happened to me before I updated my phone to iOS 8.  I waited as long as I could (almost a year) because I had heard so many people tell me that they had problems after the update, such as losing their contacts because they didn't back their phone up on the computer first.  The reason I updated to iOS 8 is because I was having the GMT time zone issue when I went to edit the event, which is where it showed up.  If I clicked back to my list it would still show the correct time however (unless I did any editing).  So weird.  Tried turning off my icloud calendar and that didn't work.  Hope they fix this soon!  For now, if you want to edit the event in any way or put a start and ending time, make sure when you click on the start time and end time that you also change the time zone below it to the correct time zone or it will show up wrong in your list when you go back to the list view. Good luck to us all. 

Any news yet? My phone still hasn't corrected the problem.

Nothing that I have seen. However, there is a long pause before GMT POPS up now. Maybe they care close.

I agree, the GMT is taking a bit longer to pop up, and I've even had a couple instances where it never did change itself, but overall the problem still exists.

HELP!!! My phone self corrected GMT on 1/12/15 ...BUT on the same day EVERY EVENT up to 1/12/15 disappeared from my phone calendar!!!! I have the settings set to sync all events...they all synced to disappear!   I am technically like a dinasaur compared to the rest of you on this forum...any suggestions or comment on if it's even possible to retrieve my calendar would be hugely appreciated! THANK YOU!!!!

Forbes published an article about this today:

I just found a Facebook group, "GMT bug," that collects information on it.   https://www.facebook.com/pages/GMT-Bug/1647531145474588

I don't even use the gmail calendar, I use outlook, and I have the same problem. Is infuriating that Apple hasn't fixed this.  

Unfortunately, David,even if I create the event on my Google desktop, it still shows GMT on my iPhone :(  And then I have to change it to eastern time.also, events I create in Google on my desktop sometimes don't show up on others shared calendar on their iPhone.seems to clearly be an Apple issue.

To clarify, if we are on east coast, is "GMT -5" correct /appropriate ? That's what I'm seeing on my phone.

I have been having the same problem. I took EVERBODIES advice, JK just the advice that didn't waste a ton of time, and I fixed it. Here's what I did.

Are you on the East coast US? Then GMT -5 is correct

Hi Lynda,

When I calendar tap the gmt then edit it to your time zone and fixed!

The calendar puts everything in GMT tine on my iPhone and iPad . I spent over an hour with the apple support staff , no help, they believe it's Google Issue. I have tried several of the suggestions in the blog and no help..Google, HELP,!

Have you been able to locate that "Support Timezones" option on iOS side? (Can't give more detailed instructions as I'm an android user, sorry)

I just updated to iOS 8.1.3 and the GMT bug persist. Until Apple officially patches the GMT bug it is best that you read the threads and refrain from posting "I fixed the issue by doing this ..."

See this Youtube video so you understand very well what's going on: Informational Rant - iOS 8 Calendar BUG (Converts Appointments to GMT)!!

Alternative solution is to use Sunrise Calendar App.

I don't use iCloud Calendar or Exchange Server. I use Google Calendar!
To remedy the GMT bug. I use the mobile version of Google Calendar from my iOS devices.

Additional info found in Apple Discussion forum regarding the bug: https://discussions.apple.com/message/27559263?ac_cid=tw123456#27559263

I just got off the phone with Apple support and the rep escalated the issue for me after checking all my settings on my Apple devices.

And that's why the problem started with the latest iOS-Update?

I'm having the same issue I'm getting very irritated

8.1.3 update doesn't fix it 

that doesn't work either

Was excited there was a new update.  But it did nothing to fix time zone. Ugh

Has anyone tried 8.1.3? Did it fix the problem? Does 8.1.3 have any other problems that are worse than the calendar problem?

Did not fix the problem.  It fixed some issues I had on my iPad.

I've got the same problem. I can change it manually event by event by clicking on GMT but that takes forever. Google calendar works fine on the I pad and the computer.

8.1.3 did NOT fix the issue on my iPhone 6

Bahhh. this is such a nightmare. Obviously no one from Google is listening. Same issue and it is with Google. I have two other staff members with calendaring meetings that this is happening to.

Hey guys,  I seem to have found something interesting.  iOS calendars will show the events from a calendar properly, but it requires that the calendar event have a time-zone specified.  If you create a calendar event in Google or from an Apple device, it doesn't set the time-zone for the event.  I discovered this while using a third party application that adds events without them turning to GMT.  When it adds them, it specifies the time-zone for the event, causing there to be no issue.  If you specify a time-zone in Google when creating the event, it also has no issue.

Having the same issue as of 2/1/2015.  Using iPhone 6 with all the latest updates

Glad I am not the only one with this problem. So annoying

Keveen:

I prefer Klonipin. But it looks like I just solved this problem. When I looked at the time zone it said GMT. I x'ed it out. It gave me a search option. I put in New York. It seems to be working now. I don't know if this will help anyone but I hope so. It seems too easy, doesn't it? Take the Klonipin/Xanax anyway before you try it. BTW I have an iphone 4s. Don't know if this makes a difference.

That will correct the issue for that single event. You will still have the issue with every new event created.

I installed the 8.1.3 ios update yesterday and it did NOT fix the calendar bug!  Still an issue; does anyone know when this will be fixed?

From what I've been told the Apple software team is saying that it's a problem with Google's servers storing their calendars in GMT time, and they do not have a current planed fix for it, they are marking it as "working as expected". Personally, I would start making appointments on a different system, I personally moved everything over to my exchange server and don't use Google Calendar for anything, just the e-mail. 

Is there a solution yet? I seems to have the same problem.

Mine just started to work properly!

I just tried nad it still doesn't work.

After dealing with this issue for 2 months, mine just started working correctly too!! (thanks for letting me know - I tried it and was stunned)

Holy cow!! Mines working now too, I almost don't believe it!

Finally, mine is also resolved. Great news!

I just did the update to my iPhone this morning to the iOS 8.1.3 and it appears that they did in fact fix the bug for GMT calendar events (gmail). I did several different tests on my phone (yes, it was isolated to my phone and iPad - not my Mac computer) and they all remained on my CST zone. What a rather frustrating last several months, but thankful that they seemed to have finally fixed the issue. Hopefully, everyone else is seeing the same results from the update! Thanks Jarrett Gorin for the helpful information (1/2/15)!!

Update to iOS 8.1.3 and it should be fixed.

My calendar is FINALLY working properly too, but it has nothing to do w/ the update.  I'm still using 8.1.1.

My calendar is also finally working.  Thank God!!!

Thank you for everyone's help and input.  I was starting to feel that I was the only person.

This is fixed for me now in version IOS 8.1.3. It was not immediately fixed upon upgrading. I had to remove my gmail calendar from my iPhone and re-sync it in order to fix the issue. Go to Settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> gmail account -> turn off Calendars. You'll be prompted with a message confirming that you want to remove/delete the calendar from your iPhone. Confirm yes -> turn the Calendar back on (i.e. set to green) and your calendar events will resync to the iPhone calendar. Now it's fixed. I don't see any GMT times and when I edit an event, everything shows up in my current time zone as expected. 

Note: My guess is that Google actually fixed this on their servers. Somebody just mentioned that this was now fixed on their calendar, but they had not upgraded their IOS. They were still on IOS version 8.1.1. This makes me believe that this wasn't really an Apple issue. Google must have fixed it on their servers. I'm just glad it was fixed. Thanks to all of you that raised this issue with Apple and Google.

Glad to see everyone rejoicing. And I'm here to confirm that I no longer see GMT in my events that I create from iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1.3.

Mention the settings.

Google Calendar CalDav.

I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 when it first came out and it didn't correct the GMT problem. Something happened today (or in the last day or so) to correct the problem. It appears that Google did something on their end to stop the GMT addition to Calendar events. I didn't have to reset, delete or resycnc anything. It just now works... as it has for the 4 years that I've had my iPhone.

Absolutely and iOS 8 issue right? Obviously you were wrong and Google fixed this recently. People on various iOS versions are having resolution and after updated to iOS 8.1.3 it wasn't fixed right away. Dont be so dogmatic in here. We are just trying to give people info.

Umm, not sure why you are accusing me of being dogmatic. I'm stating fact and providing information. I've been following this issue over in the Apple Forums for several months now and it appears to be an iOS bug. I'm saying that Google did something to fix it, not Apple. At least that's what I believe based on not having the problem fixed by upgrading to the latest iOS.

Hooray! Google has fixed it yesterday in their back end.

Per Keveen  - I went through his suggestion - My iphone 6 called it time zone override turned it on and everything is ok

I am facing the same issue. By default Google Calendar timezone is displaying GMT (no daylight saving) for logged out user. 

I have found the answer...

Thank you for the heads up that it was associated with Google calendar. I signed in to my google account/calendar and went to settings (in the calendar). I changed my time zone there and now it comes up with the correct time zone via default

I have set the general settings and calendar settings to (GMT+00:00)London. I found that when tried to access the google calendar from US the time is set to 5 hours ahead. I also found that when someone is logged into their gmail account, they can see the proper event time, but when they aren’t logged in it shows up wrong. Could you please help me?

Assume I had set the start time of an event named "party" to 12 AM (GMT-05:00) EST, In my website if I click on the event name "party", It will redirect to a page where the event details is displayed. If a user is logged in to his gmail, then the event start time is shown as 12 AM. If a user is logged out from his gmail account, the event's start time is shown as 5 AM. ie., 5 hours ahead of the EST. Could you please let me know how to fix this?

Its a simple fix for this issue and it is that we need to append &ctz=America/Chicago to #URL# and now logged-out users see the correct timezone.

AND... on my Outlook/iPhone.   I don't have Google in the mix AT ALL, so I'm laying this issue on Apple.

Thank you, this worked for me.

Not a Gmail issue. Happens to me on iPhone with Microsoft Outlook.com and Exchange accounts.

Come on Apple. Makes it very difficult to accurately amend appointments.

I have this same problem and thought it would go away when I switched from a 5S to the IPhone 6. Apple is clueless. Note to Apple, this is not a Google problem, I do not even use Google.  Figure it out you, Apple!

I have been having the same issue for months, and just figured out how to fix it.  I have many calendars on Google, one for each member of my family.  I noticed that only certain ones were coming up with the additional GMT time.  I fixed this issue by going into each individual calendar on my desktop, and checking the time zone. Low and behold there were some set up with only GMT, and not Central time.  So my fix was to change the time zone for each individula calendar, then delete the google calendar from each device and reinstall.  This will reset the ical with the new settings.  I hope this helps!

iOS 8.2 claims that it fixes the issue—"Fixes a timezone issue where Calendar events appear in GMT". I'm downloading it now and my fingers are crossed.
