output of syncevo in ~/.cache/syncevolution when an all-day-event is created in evolution and then synchronized

Whenever a "all day event" is created in evolution and then synchronized, the event in the mobile-calendar has one more day.

Example attached:

a "all day event" was created for the 13th of May in Evolution. In the mobile calendar(after synchronization) the event appears as a "all day event" for the 13th + an event till 00:00 for the 14th. 


For completeness a similar example in the opposite direction is attached(all day event created in the mobile and then synchronized). This case works properly.



Evolution version: 2.28.3
Synevolution version:   1.0 beta 3
MObile: Sony-Ericsson W595
Platform: Linux. Ubuntu Lucid.
Time zone: same time zone in both Mobile and Computer

Does the phone have "real" all-day events that are created and displayed separately?

The key problem is that vCalendar 1.0 (in contrast to iCalendar 2.0) can only represent events with a specific duration, so the phone uses
DTSTART:20100526T220000Z
DTEND:20100527T215900Z
in its local time zone to represent an all-day event.

We send to it:
DTSTART:20100513T000000
DTEND:20100514T000000

Perhaps it would have worked if we had sent
DTSTART:20100513T000000
DTEND:20100513T235959

When an event is created in the mobile, it is possible to check a box that says "all day". All the events, normal and "all day", are displayed in the same way in the (monthly) calendar of the mobile.Only when you a see a particular day, then you see the time of the event for a normal one or "all day event" for an all day event.

this would probably work. What I do not yet understand is why it only works in one direction. I mean, whenever an all-day event is created in the mobile and then synchronized, the event on evolution appears as an "all-day-event" as well. but the other way round not.
