I don't have a problem getting the phone and computer synced. The problem is the data being synced is not the same in Outlook on my PC as it is on the phone.

I'm using the phone to show a list of my bookings on my rental house. I have a booking for April 13-17. It shows that on my PC, but on the phone it shows the 12-16. I have dozens of other bookings that show the exact same problem.

WTF is causing this, and how do I fix it. If I can't have the dates right, this phone is useless to me.

This ****ing piece of **** is driving me crazy. If I make an all day appointment on my computer for may 2nd, it shows up on the phone for may 1st. If I do an all day appointment for may 2nd on my phone, it shows up on the computer as a non-all day appointment from may 2nd to may 3rd.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

I ****ing hate technology, it never ****ing works right!!!!!!!!!

Try to uninstalling Microsoft ActiveSync and reinstall it. I would try the 4.1.0. version, rather than the newer ones. This has always worked for me, so I have not upgraded ActiveSync. It is a very touchy fickle program. Also check the dates and times on both your computer and phone as well.

No luck.

It's still doing it. All dates on 8525 are 1 day earlier than on pc. Unless I put a specific time and not have it an all day appointment.

Also, if I set a time on the computer, it's off by an hour earlier on the phone, but as far as I know, the date and time settings are correct.

This is driving me insane.

OK, I think I may have found the problem. I think this is an issue with the DST change that is coming up this year. I found a patch for windows mobile, and I ran that, and it may have fixed the issue.
