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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Indicator Date and Time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236288 Title: [indicators] The time indicator should always display time in 24h format Status in The Date and Time Indicator: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in The Unity 8 shell: In Progress Bug description: The time indicator should always display time in 24h format to make better use of the available space in the indicator bar.
