Unfortunately we cannot fix that in Timer. When we are set new alarm for 9.00 AM, the alarm will ring at 9.00 AM local time. Example: 1. Let's say we would like to set Timer for 15 minutes and local time 9.00 AM Timezone +0 2. From Timer, we are setting up alarm for 9.15 AM Timezone +0 3. Now we are changing time zone to -1, so the local time will be 8.00 AM Timezone -1 4. Alarm will be the same, so 9.15 AM Timezone -1
Current result: - Alarm/Timer will start ringing for 1 hour and 15 minutes Expected result: - Alarm/Timer should start ringing always after 15 minutes, and should not be dependent from timezone For timer we would like to ring in absolute time (UTC), not dependent from time zone. Maybe there is some way to setup alarm in UTC? If yes, I would love to implement that in Timer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512180 Title: [datetime] Standard alarms are not work correctly for Timers, after timezone/DST change Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in Timer: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu Clock App: Incomplete Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Standard alarms will not work correctly after changing timezone and during DST change. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Timer from Store: https://uappexplorer.com/app/timer.mivoligo 2. Set timer to 5 minutes 3. Open Clock app. Look for alarm, and notice that alarm is correctly set 3. Switch to System Settings -> Time & Date -> Time zone: 4. Change Time zone to something different (eg. New York). (Or wait for DST change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time) Expected behaviour: - timer ringing as expected after timezone/DST change Current behaviour: - alarm is not ringing. (you could check active alarms in "Ubuntu Clock app) Proposal solution: - introduce new type of alarms, which is based on UTC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time) and independent from time zones. - This alatms will not be visible in applications which is using standard alarms (Ubuntu Clock, Ubuntu Calendar etc.) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1512180/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
