same signal issue on fp4, the bar is empty in areas with "bad" connection and half bar where it usually is full. i also get full bar in some areas, but the threshold has changed. Devel from 06.04.26 did not have that issue.

I installed it, don't see the problem about update channel not displayed. It may have been a fluke.

I noticed one regression: in the top bar, the cellular network indicator (the triangle on the right of Bluetooth icon) is always empty. It does not report the signal strength. Fortunately calls/SMS work like I reported above.

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 can no longer create photo albums on my Pixel 3a.

The version v1.35.5-1 of the Min Browser, is now compatible with UT 24.04-1.3, can you confirm it solves the problem for you?

(I will also publish very soon a new version of Rocket.Chat, so that all my apps are compatible with UT 24.04-1.3

EDIT: I've also published a new version of Rocket.Chat, that is compatible with 24.04-1.3 )

@peat_psuwit Today on Volla Quintus sveral apps did not work, i.e. Mastodon, uDiaspora. After a restart everything went fine again.

I mean, power consumption is slightly lower with Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3.
Pixel 3a /Wi-Fi/Decco 2, BT off, no other apps open, no calls, no SMS, only on the table.
About 10% lower power consumption.

Could you describe a bit more what happens exactly ?

I tried to create and populate a photo album on my Fairphone 5 running under RC2 and it was not straightforward but I finally succeeded.

Do you have any error message displayed on the screen ? In the logs (journalctl -b in the terminal or better with Ssh) ?

And are you sure that it's a 1.3 specific problem ? are you managing so many photos album that you are creating new ones with every sub-version of Ubuntu Touch ? (I'm asking because in 6 months of use of UT I was not even aware of photo albums )
