Hi - I am syncing a Samsung D500 phone using Samsung PC Studio v. 3.2.2. I
have both my PC and my phone set to 24-hr time. For some reason, the
appointments show up as two hours earlier on the phone when created in
Outlook and synced to the phone. Help?

Are both the computer and phone set for the same time zone and dst setting?

Sorry, just realized I had the phone model wrong. It's a Samsung D900, not
D500.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I have a Samsung D600 and I used to
synchronize the calendar just fine with Outlook 2003, but recently the
appointments on the phone came out 2 hours earlier on the phone. It must have
to do with the fact that i'm in GMT+2 (GMT+1+DST). When I set windows/outlook
to GMT, that moves all my appointments in Outlook back two hours and that
synchronizes to the same thing - appointments two hours early. So the PC
Studio gets the GMT data from the calendar item and adds that to the phone,
irrespective of time zone settings on the phone or on the computer.

I think it may have to do with the fact that my organization recently
upgraded to Exchange 2007. Do you know if your organization did that too?

Renny.

No, nothing about Exchange 2007 and I am using Outlook 2K. Were you able to
solve the problem?

No I haven't. What I did find as a substitute was to use the Phone Editor -
import your appointments from outlook into the PC - Appointments folder and
then drag appointments to the Phone - appointment folder. And the other way
around. This way there is no time zone problem, though certainly not as
convenient as using the sync.

Hi, I've solved my problem. Turns out the included updater screws up the
software so that it doesn't handle time zones properly. The solution is then
to roll back - download the software and don't use LiveUpdate. The version on
this site works:

http://www.samsung.com/nl/support/download
/supportDownDetail.do?group=mobieletelefoons&type=com.sec.dotcom.support.to.DownloadCompareTO%4015c1b27&subtype=toestellen&model_nm=SGH-D600&disp_nm=SGH-D600&language=&cate_type=all&mType=SW&dType=D&vType=L&cttID=431075&prd_ia_cd=01013200

Let me know if this works for you.

Renny.
