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-timedated

if 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.

@kristatos Same for me on FP5.
It depends on the cellular connection selected.
With 5G selected signal shows empty, with 4G it's either low or half and with 2G or 3G its full.
All of these previously were full signal I'm pretty close to my nearest cell mast which has 2G/4G/5G

I don't see the same behaviour on my FP5, that is, the FP5 displayed quality is not constant. I have no external way of have an objective estimation of the actual signal strength.

Although while I wrote that I noticed that the symbol is now stuck to empty like you said. Restart the phone just now. The symbol is not varying like before. Maybe it's the fact of switching the wanted signal type (5G/4G/3G...) that is making the signal strength get stuck to empty ? I never did that before. Or it was a fluke and the signal strength is really changing fast at my place.

While I can't know the real signal strength, last time I checked the official info, my location is not well served (my provider's nearest tower is behind a small elevation).

Signal strength isn't the issue, I wouldn't expect them all to be the same.
I know the signal strength is displayed much lower on 1.3 for 5G and 4G compared with 1.2 is the point

@gpatel-fr I switch from RC to stable. H-2 again. I did the command line and i confirm it solved the problem : good clock.

@domubpkm

interesting. Now this behaviour is a bit surprising since the service is supposed to be activated on-demand, so it's pretty normal it's stopped.

I did not check where and how in the code it's tested that the service is stopped but it's astonishing that such a check is even done.

Nonetheless, if starting the service actually fixes the clock it's an indication that this hypothesis deserves further research..

@gpatel-fr I seemed to see that at the end of booting the smartphone (before I entered the pin code) when switching to stable, the screen showed the correct time (H) and very quickly went to H-2.
