What's the timezone of the yahoo calendar? Yahoo calendars I think are commonly created with GMT 0, which would cause the time to be 10 - 10:30 AM on device (Yahoo = 0 GMT, Your Timezone = -8 GMT).

The only timezone I'm able to change (that I can find) is the one on my yahoo account, of which I show in the attached picture is set to US Pacific. The other picture also shows the timezone set on my phone.

Account settings isn't what's going to drive the calendar timezone - it's the calendar's timezone setting itself. You can find that by going to the Gear icon in the top right corner of Yahoo Calendar and selecting Calendar Options. You'll see under Time Zone which lists what the timezone of Yahoo Calendar is.

I just created a Yahoo Calendar for testing to verify this - my analysis is correct. Yahoo Calendars are created in GMT 0, which would cause what you are seeing here. Therefore, this is invalid.
