OFono should expose the timezone from the SIM

[Omer Akram]

Right now whenever I flash my phone the default timezone is UTC-0. The phone should detect the timezone from the SIM and set the right one.

Currently we have to set the timezone manually always.

This has hitis me as well and I feel is one of the immediate bad impression of the Out Of The Box (OOTB) experiences of the phone, fix this and we at least have a longer mean time to "bad impression".

I wonder why this isn't set by NTP? Also, wouldn't it be better to have this set by some kind of setup wizard? Afaik system-settings has this but it's not run on first boot (like the edges-intro is)

@Omer

I checked both the SIM ( TS 11.11 ) and USIM ( TS 31.101 ) specifications and cannot find any reference to SIM files that contain a time zone.

If you can point me to a specification that documents a SIM file that does contain timezone, we certainly could expose it.

I've changed the Status of this bug to Invalid as described.

That said, we will be working on an automatic timezone feature, however more investigation is needed to determine if this is something that can be finished for RTM.
