[Bug 1567940] Re: time displayed wrongly on production phone

 

So, I wrote a simple script to test my branch by looping through
rebooting the phone and asking indicator-datetime what time it thought
it was.

* Wednesday's runs: 'automatic' time setting with London specified as
the tzid

* Thursday's runs: 'manual' time setting (as inspired by Ren's comment
#8) with America/Los_Angeles specified as the tzid

1000+ reboots later,  I checked the outputs to see if they always
increased over time or if there were outliers that jumped to the wrong
timezone. The output looked like this:

>                  variant                      string " 7:40 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:42 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:43 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:44 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:45 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:47 AM"
>                  variant                      string " 7:48 AM"

For these two cases, at least, It looks like this branch is working.

  time displayed wrongly on production phone

Bug description:
  My phone displays the time an hour out on the lockscreen and notification bar. It is a production BQ 4.5 phone, and I am using it in the UK where Canonical are based, so this isn't a weird edge case situation at all. I have reflashed it altogether, and upgraded yesterday to OTA-10. It has a read only filesystem.
  If I go to time and date, and try to change my timezone it shows Europe/London UTC+1 and below it shows the correct time ticking away with BST at the end of it.
  If I try to change the timezone I get the daft list of cities, selecting them now highlights them in blue rather than orange, but I can't choose any of them. I have zero clue where there might be any indication of an error log to look for.
