Bug Description

Calls in the call log are all listed as 23 hours. This is similar to an old bug that was supposed to be fixed in the new dialer-app, but unfortunately seems to have crept back in.

This has happened before and was fixed, so it's regressed again.

Still present on my phone, tried taking a screenshot, but it just says:
s@s-Air:~$ phablet-screenshot Desktop/23hours.png
I: surfaceflinger detected

and hangs indefinitely.

Current version (r121 if I remember correctly), on mako. Timezone settings were set using whatever instructions were on the release notes page at the time. I've been using it since February just upgrading through the normal mechanisms.

Anything I can run to give you more information?

Is this still happening for new calls?
The ones that are already in the log are probably going to still have the wrong values, but new ones should be ok.

Yes, my last call was the 18th, 2 days ago, still shows 23 hours.

I reproduced this
- changed my timezone to utc
- made a call, the call showed as 16 hrs (I am in EST)
The system date/time was changed but it did not seem to propagate to the shell/qt level as the indicator never adjusted)
- rebooted the phone, everything showed the new time, and all calls in the log were 23hrs, not just the recent call after the change

After resetting the timezone back to my real local time, the call log is fine again.

f the phone is set to automatic in date/time, then there is no 16 hr duration and no need to reboot the phone
(I had been playing with manual settings so the symptom was different)

Also noticing that the call time seems to be saved in the local time at the time of the call. When the timezone is adjusted calls are listed not in the actual order they were made.

I would suggest always storing the call time stamps in UTC but display relative to current local time.
Note that android avoids this by showing the call time relative to current time (2 hrs ago), and not an actual time (13:22)

Interesting, I've had mine on automatic date/time for ages and still get the problem.

  * o not pass the phone number as a parameter when pushing the live
    call view for an outgoing call. The correct value will be taken from
    the callManager. This fixes the problem of the header not updating
    when switching between multiple calls. Re-add try catch around

  * tests: Drop expected crash for LP#1240400, it's fixed now. (LP:
    #1240400)

  * Fix a typo in the default avatar setting on history page.

Seems to have fixed it for me too. The entire call log is displaying correctly now, which means it's always been storing it correctly, it was only an issue with displaying.
