the calendar is marking 1 day before returned from the database

When the calendar plugin tries to read the dates there are in the $scope.events, the calendar displays a day before (if in the $scope.events have de date 12/04, the calendar displays the event on 11/04). Apparently, the calendar is reading the date in a wrong way, because when I click in the day with a event and print de date parameter that cames in the dateClick function, it shows that have GMT -3 (Tue Apr 12 2016 21:00:00 GMT-0300 (Local Standard Time)) and I dunno from where it cames. How I take off this GMT and from where I should take it off?

The solution is simple - pass the entire date/moment in the event.date field, for example
Tue Sep 13 2016 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

When you give a date in the format as suggested "2016-09-13" the existing code treats it as UTC and then converts it to your local timezone. So for eastern which is -4, it would treat this as 2016-09-12 20:00:00. This is what is marking it 1 day before the date in the event array.

I originally just added one day to the date, a suggestion in a previous comment. This caused a problem for my users in timezones before UTC, like Germany. Then I put a hack in that checked their timezone and only added 1 day if the utcOffSet < 0. This started not working for certain android version, handsets.
