Other: Display of connection state to provisioning service on the phone
On new or factory reset phones with v14, the provisioning screen is displayed immediately after startup. This covers up the date display and unfortunately does not allow any conclusions to be drawn as to whether an IP address has been received or whether the provisioning service has already been contacted for the processing of codes. This often results in the code having to be entered several times until provisioning is successful or it is recognised that there is no network connectivity.

It would be helpful for the person setting up the device to be able to recognise this information on the screen without having to close the view for entering the code and then having it displayed again.

I would find it practical if the date were displayed in the header area of the provisioning screen (the NTP server is usually communicated in addition to the IP address), possibly with a tick or a similar indication next to it after the first communication with the provisioning service.
This would make it easier to recognise errors when setting up the device and when entering the provisioning code has a chance of success.


Kind regards,
Benjamin
