About iSync 1.5‘s "All day event handling" feature with some phones

Learn about the iSync 1.5 (or later) "Sync all day events" feature, which can be used with some phones.
Certain phones, including the Sony Ericsson T68, T616, and the Siemens S56, work with a special iSync option, "All day event syncing."

This option is off by default, but you can turn it on by clicking the Options button at the bottom of the iSync device drawer. If the Options button is not present, your phone doesn't work with this iSync feature.





What happens after "Sync all day events" is enabled in iSync?

Once the option is enabled, iSync will sync iCal calendars to the phone as read-only entries. All day events should only be changed or modified on the Mac and then synced to the phone. If the entries (calendars) are modified on the phone, iSync will display an alert during synchronization which explains that the calendar is read-only and that any calendar changes made on the phone will be lost.

What if the phone's time zone changes?

Changing the phone's time zone will not affect the event. Rather, it simply adjusts the event for the new time zone. This does not modify the event or cause any iSync alerts during synchronization.

What happens if "Sync all day events" is disabled in iSync?

Any "All day events" on the phone will be removed during the next sync. This does not affect the events in iCal. You can get the events back on the phone by turning the option on again and syncing.
