Problem 1: My phone is in automatic time from network. Yesterday we changed time and my phone didn't. I had to reboot to get the time change.

Problem 2: The calendar app does not keep track of daylight savings time properly. Let assume the following: we are thursday, I create two calendar entries on google calendar from my web browser one for friday and one for sunday. Both a 17:00. We change to daylight savings time on saturday. In the calendar app the friday event will have the time 17h and the monday entry will have the time 18h. Both should have 17h since I'm not changing timezone but I'm just changing to DST...

Problem 3: The calendar app does not keep track of alternate timezone for events properly. (screenshots provided) I create an event for 19:00 pacific time (GMT -8:00) but I'm in Eastern time (GMT -5:00). The event show in the calendar as 22:00 which is ok since there is 3h difference between pacific and eastern time. BUT, if I edit the event, I have no way to know on which timezome the event was created. It thinks that the event was created for eastern standard time. (see screenshots)

Europe's doesn't change until later this month (I think the 27th), so I can't comment yet on these issues. But I am curious whether other people have seen these issues (so I know if I need to set two alarms for that Sunday).

I'm off by one hour too when I sync to my Outlook using Google Calendar Sync.  Why is there both an Eastern Standard Time and an Eastern Time (that are both GMT-4:00) when setting a new event in the Calendar app?  Shouldn't these be UTC-5:00 even though we're in daylight savings time now?
