[Bug 1236288] Re: [indicators] The time indicator should always display time in 24h format

 

Ted is correct that this is "broken" for end-user use in the US.  You
would never see a US roadside time & temperature display using 24h time,
nor would a phone for US users default to 24h.

One approach would be to have  a 12h/24h toggle available in ubuntu-
system-settings and to tailor the default based on region.

The phone profile is currently using a hardcoded format that ignores all
of the options (such as the 12h/24h toggle) available for the desktop.
If we decide to have a 12h/24h toggle in the phone profile, we should
think about reusing the dconf setting code that the desktop profile's
currently using.
