** Description changed: As discussed in private bug #1430666, the default alarm ring duration of 30 minutes is really long compared to other phones. This got called out because it will cause unnecessary screen-on battery drain. IMO 30 minutes should not be the default option -- if a user doesn't dismiss after 10 minutes, adding another 20 feels like overkill. + + In addition, datetime (rightly) turns the screen on when an alarm + triggers. It's kept on for the duration of the alarm, even if it rings + for a half hour. That's a pretty long screen-on time to pay when the + user's inactive. So, two questions. 1. Can we change the default alarm duration from 30 minutes to something shorter, e.g. 10 minutes? The 30 minute default is specified in <https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1JvDyhsW17d1-Mz8OY1YMBKwfRI2z9qgyRjbujEsxEMk/edit#slide=id.g36c1a0cdd_010>. 2. Datetime should release its "screen on" hold after the first few minutes, so that even long-ringing alarms don't drain more battery than necessary.
