At one point in time I was delighted to be able to get my hands on the new JollaC but the random crashes make life really hard to still love this phone / brand and keep on believing in it.

I still have not figured out on why my calender sometimes duplicates till the phone crashes, or why the alarms stop working out of the blue. But normally a reboot and/or a deleting the calendar db get the phone up and running again and I just go on with my life.

But what i have now? I have no clue on why this is happening. In the notifications I see an appointment at 15:45 and the same appointment in my calendar is at 17:45. For me there is no logic in this, and to be honest, I am a bit fed up with random stuff like this. If there is an item in my calendar at 17:45 there is no reason what so ever for that item to show in the notifications at 15:45.

I would guess, from the screenshot I assume you're in the Netherlands somewhere, that it's a timezone issue. 17:45 CEST (in the Netherlands) would be 15:45 UTC.

But I don't know why it happens or how to fix it unfortunately.

is this an "external" calendar (like Google or OwnCloud) or the local one on the phone? If it's server based, there might be a bug with different fields during sync

It is an external calendar (owncloud) and has always worked fine. It seems the timezone on the phone is gone...there is just , And tapping on the 'Automatic update' does not work. After a reboot it is fixed. But the time zone setting of the pone disappeared without reason it seems...weird stuff.

Hi.

In my settings, this is set to 'Automatic update' and works nice.

May I suggest you to post the result of the following commands?

pkcon search name | grep tz | grep Installed
pkcon get-files tzdata (select 1, installed)
pkcon get-files tzdata-timed (again select 1, installed)

Maybe we can get some clues from the output of the commands.

Regards.

Hi Pasko,

the first command: pkcon search name | grep tz | grep Installed returns empty (no result)

the second comand: pkcon get-files tzdata (select 1, installed) gives a very long list of

/user/share/zoneinfo/Africa .. .. /user/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab

the third command: pkcon get-files tzdata-timed (again select 1, installed) outputs this: /usr/share/tzdata-timed

/usr/share/tzdata-timed/country-by-mcc.data

/usr/share/tzdata-timed/single.data

/usr/share/tzdata-timed/zone.alias

/usr/share/tzdata-timed/zones-by-country.data

I had another loss of time zone setting two days later, I added that issue here: https://together.jolla.com/question/146244/bug-the-time-zone-setting-is-lost/

Hi.

Looks like you have the same packages (and files) that I have in my device, so I'm running out of ideas.

However: did you try the owncloud forums? A quick search brought this entry:

https://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=22616

You could also try the tzselect command-line utility, but given your description of the problem, I don't think this would help.

Regards.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to take a look. The problem was that my phone lost the time zone setting, but I still have not figured out why that happened. Now that the time zone is set correctly the calendar works fine. Cheers, Bart
