Something weird with RTM - dates not matching phone vs online (DROID)

jasonpbyu says:
Online it shows 4 things due today and 6 things due tomorrow (Thursday), but on my Droid, the date is right and it shows these 10 items as being due today. Then things that online show due on Friday show being due tomorrow on my DROID.

Things showing Sunday online show Saturday in my phone.

Anyone seen this? HELP!

Further... I just added something online for May 1, it syncs to phone as April 30th but still shows online as May 1.

What is going on?

one final note, it appears when i put in a task on the phone it syncs fine, but when i put one in via web, the date is 1 day off on the phone.

I just added a "test test test" on May 1st, when i hit sync it showed Apr 30th on the phone.

Has worked fine until today, anyone???

Jason,

You may want to double check that your time zone settings are the same in the website (Settings) and in the Droid app.

I hope this helps,
Leah

Ugh, where is the RTM staff? I found a thread with the same issue over in the DROID forum... they said that if the phone, computer and web settings are not all the same time zone, it will cause problems.

Well what about those that travel a lot? I work in Texas for 2 weeks then Utah for 1 week, then Texas for 2, Utah for 1.

My laptop and web settings are on central time, so when I'm in Utah (mountain time), does this mean that RTM won't work?

If so, I need to find another solution which is made for people who aren't in the same time zone 365 days a year.

Unfortunately RTM doesn't currently support shifting timezones; when a due date is set in one timezone, the task will be due at the start of that day (i.e., midnight) in that timezone.

It's something that's on our list to look into supporting in the future.

You may find that leaving the tasks alone works in some cases (if possible), or changing your timezone on the website and your computer.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Leah, my computer is set to central -6:00, the RTM settings are set to central -6:00 (chicago is the city)... my phone is now in Utah so it is going to be Mountain time, but I will be in Texas again next week... surely this program can adapt with people who travel out of a timezone.

and there is nowhere i'm finding in the app to specify timezone, i assume it pulls from my phone. so right now my laptop is central, my RTM settings are central but my phone is mountain. help!!
