Events saved using wrong date/time
When adding an event to Etar, it seems to save it correctly, but it always saves the event using a wrong date/time.
It used to work correctly, but this has been going on for a while, making the app unusable.
I have exactly this same problem, probably appeared on 1.0.34 (latest). Here is an event created through Etar, start hour is 19:30:
On the agenda, start hour displayed is 21:30 (alarm will go off using this erroneous time) :
Same problem when displaying the event :
Proper start hour is 19:30, displayed properly when editing the event (but wrongly processed then, giving way to the above problems) :
This makes Etar unusable to create events. Events created through another app and imported into Android calendar (here, thanks to Caldav) are okay.
In case it could be useful, currently GMT+2 here (Europe/Paris timezone).
I was wrong in my previous comment :
Events created through another app and imported into Android calendar (here, thanks to Caldav) are okay.
As a matter of fact, NO, events created another way have the same problem except that the hour is «correct» in the calendar/display event, and 2-hours early in the edit window.
In case it could be useful, currently GMT+2 here (Europe/Paris timezone).
When editing an "all day" event, the event is saved to the next day in the future. I must stop using Etar because this is a serious problem and I cannot trust events that are being edited.
@eshattow Please try the apk mentioned here in #1387 and report back.
Thanks, I will try this. At first look it is an improvement but I will test further.
Small (but I think relevant, especially wrt #1387) bit of data : all « wrongly timed » events start as full-day events (add an event when in monthly view, mainly). If an event is added when in agenda, weekly or daily view, since it does not start as a full-day event, no problem arises.
@eshattow Please try the apk mentioned here in #1387 and report back.
Trying that. Will keep you informed.
Tested and wrote my findings as https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar/issues/1387#issuecomment-1736048337

As far as my tests have gone (not extensive), this APK does solve this problem (and it's great, thanks !)
Does not address the full-day problem, but that's another bug report.
