When using iCalendar 2.0, this should happen that often. The local time zone check in libsynthesis is rather crude: it's only based on the time offsets against GMT. Better use http://chrislord.net/docs/libjana-ecal/libjana-ecal-jana-ecal-utils.html jana_ecal_utils_guess_location() to find the exact location and then use the corresponding libical timezone. This needs to be configurable, so we need to improve the Synthesis configure script first (bug #3471). ------- Comment #1 From pohly 2009-12-02 00:45:49 PST (-) [reply] ------- (In reply to comment #0) ... should *not* happen that often... ------- Comment #2 From pohly 2009-12-02 04:40:57 PST (-) [reply] ------- Congwu, you ran into this when testing with a phone, right? So it seems that is a bit more important than originally anticipated, raising priority and pulling it into 1.0. Congwu, do you have time for this or should I ask someone else, like Raji? ------- Comment #3 From Chen Congwu 2009-12-07 18:07:11 PST (-) [reply] ------- (In reply to comment #2) Yes, but detecting local timezone does not have direct effect on phone syncing.. 1) If the phone does not support UTC time, the engine needs to use 'UserTimezone' (That is the timezone for the phone) when syncing not 'SystemTimeZone'. 2) If the phone supports UTC time, the engine can send UTC time. In my case, the N7210c did not declare support 'UTC' in devinf and 'UserTimeZone' defaults to 'SystemTimeZone', this then triggered the problem. After Lukas pointed out some phones just forget to declare 'UTC', I tries and it solved my problem now. Considering this is a bug need to be fixed but not very high priority. I will come up with this later when ready. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
