Not sure what's going on with your setup, but AS is working perfectly  
for me on many different devices, including iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch.  
Also working fine on my normal day-to-day Android phone. I'm fairly  
hard on my calendar, and edits on the server and/or devices sync fine  
both ways. Something obviously is very broken on your setup.

With what, exactly? If you are asking about the above posted issues, I  
have no idea until I see a *complete* sync log, server log, horde log,  
and possibly wiretrace. As mentioned, this is working fine here.  
Duplicate events are usually due to some error during the sync process  
that prevents the server from recording the sync state. Would need to  
see the above mentioned logs to further track down. No idea about the  
mismatched dates/times. I have not yet come across such a bug report  
yet. Possibly a problem with timezones, datetime format being stored  
in the database.

 From Kronolith? You can't. You can manually remove the event entries  
from the kronolith_events table if you like, though.

 From the dynamic interface, it's on the calendar detail dialog (click  
on the arrow to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar). From  
the traditional interface, it's an application menu item.

Could also be potentially corrupt data in kronolith. You can try  
creating some new events on a fresh calendar, or alternatively try  
importing only a few of your events one at a time to see if one of the  
events is triggering the errors.
