seedy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Bought a new S5 in May, put my flight details in the Planner, using Pacific time. Came to Thailand, changed to BKK time, - a 14 hour difference at that time. All my planner events got moved forward 14 hours. Found this out today. So my flight leaves BKK 3 May 2015 at 1625, the fone changed it to 4 May 2015 0625 Any way to stop this from happening ? As an aside, this is just one of a long list of reasons I will not buy another Samsung. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1Str8 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The solution is not the switch to another os which is not any better, only different. Besides if it's Android then Samsung is the best choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 There is an option in Calendar - Settings - "lock time zone", that ought to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Where is the issue? You entered the flight details in Pacific Time, the phone converted them to local time when you changed the locale. Of course, if you entered the flight details in Bangkok Time when the phone was using Pacific Time but didn't tell the phone the event wasn't Pacific Time...... My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Calendar has the facility to set a timezone for each calendar event 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Bought a new S5 in May, put my flight details in the Planner, using Pacific time. Came to Thailand, changed to BKK time, - a 14 hour difference at that time. All my planner events got moved forward 14 hours. Found this out today. So my flight leaves BKK 3 May 2015 at 1625, the fone changed it to 4 May 2015 0625 The phone hasn't moved *any* events. It is simply converting them to local time for Thailand after you entered them as PST. If you wanted to enter them for Thai time, you should have been on the Thai timezone. The phone isn't being dimwitted - you are. Please change the topic to "I don't know how to use Smartphones", because you'll have this problem on any calendar that adjusts if you don't know how to use it properly.

seedy Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Checking it out - still can not lock the Planner the way I want. Would like to input in Pacific time, lock those times, input BKK time, lock those times. Not working so far. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Calendar has the facility to set a timezone for each calendar event Just may have to do this. I entered an event, locked to Pacific time, went and checked, planner now has event in BKK time. Will have to check when I return to N. America if it changes back I guess.

DogNo1 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Use the calendar in Outlook. I have entered appointments for both Japan and Thailand and their scheduled date and time does not change when I adjust my compter for new time zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides if it's Android then Samsung is the best choice. Only if you like to spend too much money, the Moto G is a stonking phone for a third of the price.
