1081862 - Presetting the device time to something close build time if both NITZ and NTP fail to update correct time

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::First Time Experience, defect)

Description

[Wayne Chang [:wchang]]

Often times the device would get started up and loaded into homescreen without network or SIM card at first, and hence failing to retrieve time from NTP or NITZ information.

The default time is 1970/1/1 and causes all SSL connections to fail including marketplace. If we can setup the device time to something close (within a month or so) then this should be avoided in most cases if NTP or NITZ fails.

Starting this bug for discussion and solution.

It really depends on the flash procedure partners have.

Take our flow as an example:
we will use below commands to update the device time after flashing the image.

	run_adb wait-for-device &&
	run_adb shell toolbox date `date +%s` &&
	run_adb shell setprop persist.sys.timezone $TIMEZONE
