I see a similar problem on my XA2, but restarting the ofono.service doesn’t help.

Just to be sure. You insert the SIM card AFTER you started your phone?

The sim card is allways in the phone. I did not remove or plug the sim when the phone is powered on.

The problem is still on 4.5.0.16 :roll_eyes:.
The update process shows an error (or warning?) because the ophono process was not running.
It seems that some communication could not be done during update :thinking:.

After the update, have you tried running devel-su pkcon refresh and devel-su pkcon update in the terminal (or similar with zypper, depending on what you use)? Some packages may not have been updated. I always do it this way after the reboot is complete after the update.
I update Gemini with the sfos-upgrade utility (you can find it in SailfishOS:Chum or in Openrepos.net/Storeman). When updating to 4.5.0.16, I had to complete the process by restarting the Power+Esc because the process did not complete.

I tried zypper, pkcon, sfos-update, … without success.
I read at ‘https://matrix.to/#/#SailfishGemini.de:matrix.org’ that there are more users concerned by this bug. One user wrote there that there is no IMEI after startup.
And digging deeper i/we see, that the ophono service is started, but only after restart the sim card is detected and the IMEI is shown.

Additional the wlan is on but not connected to a reachable net on startup. Switching the wlan off and on again the connection become established.

As i wrote above, it seems that there are some race conditions on the network stack on Gemini PDA - the problem did not occurs on my FP2s.
And on my tablets i have no problem with the wlan connection on startup :thinking: …

And it is also present on 4.5.0.18.
