New phone, Google Calendar events messed up

Hello!

I got a new FP5 and when I synced everything from my old FP3+, nearly everything went well.

See it seems that all my Google calendar events show 5 hours too late. This happens in a a widget I have on the home screen as well aswhen I open the app itself.

However when I open the events for editing, the times seem to be right. And then when I save it again, the times are 5 hours too late.

What is this?

It does sound a bit like a time zone problem to me.

Just as an example. I’m in the Berlin timezone (UTC+2).
When I create a new event at 12:00 but inadvertedly select UTC as timezone in the edit dialog it would look kind of ok. But once saved, my calendar would show it as 14:00 (assuming the phone timezone is correct).

The other possibility would be: the timezone of the event is correct but the timezone of the phone is wrong.

Thanks a lot! Problem solved. It was an issue with Google Calendars time zone. For some reason in the new phone the calendar app’s time zone had changed to China.
