Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3

@peat_psuwit
Hello Ratchanan.
I noticed that with RC2, the phone’s USB-C port was powering my Lilygo LoRa board.
In RC3 (and in 24.04-2.x), the USB-C port no longer powers it (OTG?).
Forget it, it seams that the board has to be connected during reboot after a power off of the phone.
It's working now. -
Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 is released. Thank you everyone for testing.

@adorsaz Alright, y'all. I have fought since December, when it all of a sudden just clicked that I all at once, am on a countdown, because I was google-naive, all 25 years, plus I thought well, they got it, so I'll use what's there. Not noticing, cause my eyes were wide shut. Ao, now I dig through cobbwebs of a very minimal computer science base in my head, but whatever, right? We built it in Jr. High, so here goe's nothing. First long trip around probably since cillege. Four months of Verizon sandbagging me on a bootloader unlock code, to finally had driven them crazy enough, I guess I finally got the truth. Now, we got like 140 days on the countdown, and I was more googled in, than I'd ever dreamed, or known. Welp, now I'm back to Jr. High level brains, when I leaerned all of thia with gopher. Here's my plea. I don't script well, but I can read one, decently. It's thw knowing of the when's and the where's. I haven't had any mobile data I pay for on this, but just got it last week. It will ring and call out, but the data stays down, unless om wifi. Y'all should know, at tge last minute, and with nothing to unlock to start with, I jist took the next step too, in the purchase for the sake of time and a ton of what=if's, knowing this is where I stay now, as long as it will just continue to work. Being entirely away from Google has given me no greater of a feeling, since I made it under the wire, but if anyone, no matter who reads this, might be able to help me port in, where I can get some data. I also can't send or receive any pictures, under any circumstances. I will need help, even with this terminal. Maybe I'm ONLY SO USED TO Termux, or just get lost because phablet is already connected? I've inherited above my head, willingly; because I have faith, and I'm not bowing no man! Even if I get called an idiot here. I'll eun, limping, as stay with google. They lied to me, for 25 years and I never even had a clue. Just business to them, ia the end of now, most of our live's, that have waited to see if anything is even gonna bw worrh the having, now. I know this will likely be the lasr of the internet for me. I'll just forget thw whole deal. Home phone is already being installed on Monday. Just grateful, I'm not young. I wouldn't know how to do any if life, without the demon box leading their way. No coding agents, either. I am the DI (dumb intelligence, still beats fake, in life, but not in performance). I didn't degoogle, just to ask something else to do something for me. I appreciate the open source program so much I was only even on a plan once, ever. My first time. Apple 3gs. Hated the proprietorship manning uo to 16 hours on dial up with that thing corded to itunes for 16 hours somw days. It nwver left the computer. So, since the ipod touch, I've alwaya sat up my own phone. I newd a step by step roadmap, or someone to back and forth with me, to port mine the rest if the way, in. Finding you guy's, Google also makes impossible to even do. The very page I'm typing on right now, wouldn't even come up, in the old phone. Those arw my only two lags, and on the whim I tiok, just becauae I was born here. I know how crooked red all white, so you can see right through everything, and the blue, will soon be green, or green will be added. The writing is already on the wall, to me. I fought ti be able to find you people to trust, and sillicone valley satan don't even let those devices access like ubports.com Phamtombot or something will always come along. Disable it as many times as it take's. Sorry it's long windy, and fullbof typos, but if I could get stronger service, I think this is what it needs. It wouldn't even ring until 2 days ago. No clue. Startes working after a week out if nowhere, on it's own. I was grateful. Taking what I can get. It won't be easy, but we're a different brees anyway, I guess. Evwryine else is all telling me ro leave stuff alone. They really kniw what they're doing. I'm like, EXACTLY! So, now I have to go pull out what I learned early 90's in Jr. HIGH. Hey. It's progress for me, the minute I hit tge send button, now. Thanks, ALL!!!!

I've asked one of the developers in the relevant area to look into this. Although, given that this is a cosmetic issue, it might not be fixed before 24.04-1.3 is released.
I have updated this morning from 1.2 stable to 1.3 stable and have the same issue. Is there already a bugreport for that? All other things seems to work without any issues

clock which indicates H-2 hours (France) until the time and date icon in the system settings is pressed.
FYI an issue has been created on Gitlab.
As the hypothesis exposed in the issue description needs some confirmation, the next moment you see the problem (before going in the system settings), could you please issue this command in terminal:
sudo systemctl start systemd-timedatedif it fixes the indicator, the theory will be vindicated and it will be a step toward solving the problem.
If not, it's nonetheless interesting to know. So if you can report the result of the test in the issue, it would be a good thing.

Is there already a bugreport for that?
I browsed the recent issues a bit and did not find anything about it so I'd say not.

Sorry it's long windy,
Honestly, I tried to read your wall of text and failed. If there is a question in here, can you please restate that?

Always helpful, I invoked Saitan for you and got this:

The author recounts a recent struggle to break free from Google‑centric services after 25 years of reliance.
After discovering a “countdown” (likely a device lock or security deadline), they spent four months dealing with Verizon to obtain a bootloader‑unlock code.
Once unlocked they realized they had very limited technical knowledge—only a basic junior‑high computer‑science background and familiarity with Termux.
Their phone can make calls but has no mobile data; it only works on Wi‑Fi, and they cannot send/receive pictures.
They seek step‑by‑step help to get data connectivity and to port the device to an open‑source platform (presumably Ubuntu Touch/UBports).
They emphasize a strong desire to stay “de‑Googleed,” expressing frustration with proprietary ecosystems (Apple, Google) and a wish for community support.
They mention upcoming home‑phone installation and a general feeling that this may be their last chance to get online.
In short: they need practical guidance—especially via the terminal—to enable data on their unlocked device and complete the migration to an open‑source mobile OS.
