[Bug 1283236] Re: Alarms are triggered in UTC tz despite saving in local tz

 

We just agreed with renato that SDK Alarms will transform (not convert)
the alarm time into UTC value, and set them as alarm values. So the fix
will come from SDK.

Bug description:
  Setting an alarm in the local timezone is not respected by the system
  since the alarms is triggered in the equivalent UTC timezone.

  Mako build 200, 205

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1. Ensure that phone timezone is something other than UTC. For instance eastern tz (UTC-5)
  2. Set an alarm for 3:00 PM in the ubuntu clock app.
  3. Indicator shows a pending alarm for 3:00 PM
  4. Check a minute or so later, indicator shows an alarm pending for 8:00 PM

  What happens:
  The alarm does not go off at 3:00 PM. Instead it triggers at 8:00 PM

  What should happen:
  The alarm is triggered at 3:00 PM
