Public bug reported:
The time zone selection in the settings app is really weird:
It asks me to enter my current location which already seems odd.
=> I try Blaustein, no results
=> I try Ulm, which is the closest next bigger city, no results
=> I try Berlin, as that seems to be a known city for time zone settings,
suddenly I 12 results for Berlin, each them being a tiny part of the city where
I've never heard the name of. Which one should I select? They're all the same
in terms of time zone, aren't they?
IMO, the settings app should have a list of predefined timezones like pretty
much any other device has, means having entries like
Europe Helsinki
Europe Berlin/Amsterdam/Rome
Europe London/Lisbon
etc
The textfield on top should then filter the entries...
In any case, if we want to have the selection based on the user's real
location, we need to have a database including *all* cities, perhaps
even villages. If not, 1 entry per time zone should be enough.
I for one would prefer the 1 entry per time zone, with their commonly
known names.
