I've just installed the LOS 18.1 Nov 1st update. And OMG... what a difference that new keyboard driver makes.

They do send spare parts, but I have no idea if they have spare FP sensors. P.S. Eske is just a power user, not affiliated with fxtec nor working for them. So he has to guess exactly like me.

I'm interested in the phone and it's design. I wonder if it is possible to install /e/OS on the phone instead of LineageOS or Ubuntu Touch?

We're really glad it helps :-)

Thanks, Doktor, I suppose that is enough to go by. I will try to contact support, than 👍

Sad story, though at the least you got the camera fixed. I have no idea if any other phones fingerprint reader would match. I have not heard it mentioned. But would be great if a more widespread device uses the same cable, as the cable is definitely vulnerable opening. Others have reported tearing it, On the torn membrane, I would try with tiny pieces of (non conducting) duct tape and see if that would do the trick. My guess would be that they wont have the membrane as a spare, but would replace the 'entire' side print with all three contacts.

I have not heard it mentioned in here, so I do not think so.

Hello, everything started with one problem - the stock camera app froze right after start and even though OpenCamera did show the camera input, it was not able to focus. My idea was that the problem is in the software, so I backed up everything valuable, than loaded LineageOS. As you probably guess, the problem was still there. I believe that fingerprint sensor did work at this stage before first opening correctly. So I opened the phone, having no clue, what to do. But Heureka! I found one of the camera connector completely disconnected. So I connected it back and the camera started

Another one bites the dust. Ghost touches, bottom half of the screen, most of the time unusable. I can't find a pattern, because it seems that it "starts" by it's own. I didn't contact yet FxTec support, but I will. Based on the response time, I preffered first to buy a screen from aliexpress. Anyway, I'll ask FxTec to send me a screen so I'll replace it myself, to avoid the back and forth delays ans costs. If it'll arrive after the one I've bought, it'll be a spare. Because the phone has a mind of it's own when clicking trough the apps and menus, it managed to disable my speak
