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-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.

I browsed the recent issues a bit and did not find anything about it so I'd say not.

without any link to a web site it's unlikely.

I tried to read your wall of text and failed.

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

*** <begin Saitan reply> ***

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.

@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).
