Here is possibly (maybe) the reason (feedback from Franz):
applet-device-wifi.c: (used for WIFI to create icon)
1480 case NM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVATED:
1481 strength = ap ? nm_access_point_get_strength (ap) : 0;
1482 strength = MIN (strength, 100);
1483
1484 *out_icon_name = mobile_helper_get_quality_icon_name
(strength);
1485
1486 if (ap) {
1487 char *ssid = get
mobile_helper_get_icon.c (used for WWAN to create icon)
613 case NM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVATED:
614 *out_pixbuf = mobile_helper_get_status_pixbuf (quality,
615
quality_valid,
616 mb_state,
617 mb_tech,
618 applet);
619 *out_icon_name = mobile_helper_get_quality_icon_name
(quality_valid ?
620
quality : 0);

Title:
[SRU] 3G (WWAN) icon missing
Status in Network Manager Applet:
Fix Released
Status in OEM Priority Project:
Confirmed
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in network-manager-applet source package in Xenial:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
In this report we are trying to address several issues network-
manager-applet 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 suffers by doing cherry-picks
from upstream 1.2 stable branch.
By using a 3G WWAN dongle, after establishing a 3G connection, the
icon shown in system tray should be a 3G indicator to indicate that 3G
is connected. However, in Xenial there is no 3G icon at all. After 3G
connection is established, it remains as the previous icon displayed.
[Test Case]
By upgrading to the -proposed package, the icon shown in system tray should
be a 3G indicator to indicate that 3G is connected when using WWAN.
[Regression Potential]
This update also includes patches targeting other issues which are not
related to this bug directly, but all these fix are clear and have
minimum changes, chance of regression is limited.
