        @Vehi_MV thanks for that and it is good to hear you got yours working after a few tries. I was not thinking that it is hardware due to the fact that it was working fine on Touch. I will be flushing it with android and back again to see if there is any hardware issues though.

          @UKPhil Just put a sim in my bq 5 which has not had one in for ages its on r2 now. Started it up and sim was detected straight away. So may well be sim or phone related as mentioned above. You could also try changing the channel to release candidate and try that after its updated, and say hello to the nice new stet up screen.

            @Lakota I had not thought of changing, but what a great idea. Like you say I can say hello to the new screens. Cheers.

              I have had a similar issue when I was syill on OTA-15 or so from Canonical. I think turning the phone completely off, swapping the sim slot and howling at the moon sorted it out for me.

                I have solved this issue by doing System Settings ->Reset -> Erase & Reset All.

                This proves this was a software not hardware issue.
                It is also a pain in the backside as I now have to re-setup my phone.

                Double pain in the backside as I have already placed an order for a replacement Android phone! I will now have to decide which of my 2 phone I now use daily and which is the spare! HoHum... 1st world problems!

                Thanks people for your thoughts.
                Thanks UBports team for continuing the ubuntu touch journey... Great that there has been an OTA2 shame about the rough edges.

                All the best

                  Could you have been caught up in the recent huge EE outage? I've got two sims fron different providers and they both seem to work fine before and after the recent update and the change over to UBports.

                      It may be the bug #1615474
                      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1615474

                      And the solution :
                      "mv .config/connectivity-service .config/connectivity-service_date"

                      had worked for me.

                        I have a similar issue for Nexus5.
                        Wifi works, but mobile data does not appear in the top, even tough if I pull down the top bar, I can tell that a connection has been detected.
                        I can't change anymore the settings for mobile internet from 2g/3g to another option. I only shows that it is working without ever finishing.

                        I guess it is a Christmas bug - to spend more time with the family and less with the phone. 😉

                        And I realize that my technical english is limited:
                        Also nochmal auf Deutsch: Das mobile Internet funktioniert nicht mehr. In der Statuszeile wird nur fehlende Verbindung angezeigt, wenn man diese jedoch herunter zieht, zeigt er beständig wechselnde Verbindungen (E, H, 2G, 3G, 4G) an, ohne, dass dadurch eine Internetverbindung hergestellt wird.
                        Ich kann nicht mehr auswählen, ob ich eine schnelle oder eine langsame, stromsparende Internetverbindung unterwegs haben möchte. Das Telefon arbeitet, ohne dass der Kreis zu drehen aufhören würde...
