Album has different date in Mobile vs Regular Website

Postby dmark44 » Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:48 am

I took some test pictures this morning 9am EST Apr 22nd.

If I go to the Eye-Fi Center on my PC or the Website (http://center.eye.fi) the album is correctly displayed as April 22, 2011. But if I go to the Mobile website (http://center.eye.fi/m) the same album is called April 21, 2011.

So it appears the wrong date is being applied on the mobile website but it is correct everywhere else.

I'm using direct mode to send photos to my Android phone, with the option to upload to Eye Fi View and my PC. I was checking the mobile website on my phone.

Thanks in advance for any help I receive!

Hi dmark44, it sounds like the mobile version of web center didn't get the right time zone offset from the mobile browser that you are using on your phone. We store all the dates in GMT on the server and apply a time zone offset stored in a cookie on the login screen. Can you try logging out and logging back into center.eye.fi/m on your phone to see if that clears it up? You can also try center.eye.fi/m in your desktop browser (although it will really only look ok in a webkit browser like Chrome or Safari) and verify that the dates are ok.

Just went center.eye.fi/m in Chrome on my PC and album is called April 21, 2011. Then went to center.eye.fi and the pics were in April 22, 2011.

Thanks for your help so far!

When I look at the albums in the Mobile Center, the date is one day off from the date the picture was taken and uploaded. Clicking on an album also displays that same incorrect date at the top of the page. But when I go into one of the pictures, the date appears correctly on the button to go back to the album. I should also note that this is true for ALL albums (I have two others, and they are also both off one day), not just newly created ones.

I tested this on both my Blackberry and using the Mobile Center in Chrome on my Macbook.

When I use the regular Web-based Eye-Fi Center on my Macbook, the correct date appears at all times.

Please try logging out and back into the mobile site and see if the dates are correct now.

The dates match now. But the change occurred on the regular website so both my albums are 4/21 instead of 4/22. I checked my phone a few hours after transfer and GMT settings and date appeared correct.

If you log in and then load the following link and send me the results I could try and get to the bottom of why you are seeing the wrong date. I suspect it has something to do with the way your browser is reporting the local time and dst, but I need to know a few things about your browser type and locale in order to try and recreate it here.
