I don't see a setting where we can say we live in AZ?
That is only one of the three variants. But Arizona is problematic, because they do not observe Daylight Saving Time. So when the time changes for everyone else, the Calendar feels obligated to change everything for them, as well.russellhltn wrote:The calendar adjusts to whatever time zone your device reports to the webserver.

You don't even need to be near the state border...if you live near the Navajo Nation (northeast Arizona), I suppose devices on "automatic" could get tripped up, as the Navajo Nation does observe Daylight Savings Time (and the Hopi Reservation inside does not). I've been reasonably aware of Daylight Savings/Summer Time practices in various parts of the USA and the world due to scheduling IT activities, but I don't think I realized the Navajo Nation differences until this summer when we traveled through northern Arizona.russellhltn wrote:If the device is a phone and near the state border, I could see where it might show the wrong time.
I am constantly in different time zones and adding things to the calendar. I have always thought that when scheduling an event, the time should be based on the time where the event s taking place (the building does not change time zones). If, after I schedule it, the calendar wants to show it based on my device's time, that is fine but I am scheduling a building for a time and that should be static. Luckily, I have never had to "fix them" unless I didn't calculate the time zone offset correctly.lajackson wrote:Another challenge is that the time of an item also depends on where and when the person was located who originally added the item to the calendar. I once loaded a stake calendar while on a business trip, then had to adjust the time of all the events by two hours when I returned. The Calendar was not able to properly compensate for the difference between my location and the home location.russellhltn wrote:The calendar adjusts to whatever time zone your device reports to the webserver.

Not all events take place in a building.RBeatse wrote:I have always thought that when scheduling an event, the time should be based on the time where the event s taking place (the building does not change time zones).
'ZACTLY!!!russellhltn wrote:I'd think my enhancement would be to display what time zone is in effect and allow you to change it. Or perhaps allow you to set a "preferred" time zone. The idea of using the device's time to auto-set was a neat idea, but clearly it has created issues.
