Outlook.com / ActiveSync / Contacts birthdays / iOS


Question

This is a question for anyone who is syncing their contacts via ActiveSync (m.hotmail.com) on their iOS device.

My contacts are currently showing the wrong birthday on my calendar on my iPhone. If I look at the contact it shows the date is set to their birthday plus an extra day. Example my Son's birthday yesterday is today rather than yesterday. I can correct it on the phone but when I look at the People in Outlook.com it is set to the correct date already. Obviously if I change it in iOS it then appears too early in the People section of Outlook.com

Anyone else seeing this?

I am wondering if its something to do with importing my contacts from GMail/Google Apps although the fact they appear correct in the People section suggests not.

I am also experiencing this very same issue. I had to go through all of my contacts in Outlook People and fix it. It was far from ideal. I deleted my Outlook profile in iOS then re-added it, but everyone's birthdays are still +1. They now display correctly in People, but incorrectly on iPhone.
