Glad to see that the screenshots issue is addressed. Iā€™ve already made a lot of accidental screenshots.

For me it feels like the frame rate issue after screen notifications issue is finally gone.

The frame rate issue appears to have finally been resolved! The update went well and was available almost instantly with dual SIM Simpel (NL) and Congstar (DE).

The option to disable screenshots is also great! I already had a collection of accidental screenshots because of the button placement.

Not being in N. America, Iā€™ve had no issues of rebooting. However I have not been offered the latest update as of today (11/11/2025). Is the roll-out in Europe envisaged soon?

@Kes Please provide the information about your country and provider so that can be followed up.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my post. Iā€™m in Luxembourg (provider is P&T Lux) and my order was placed in the Netherlands.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Taking screenshots when locking the phone

Iā€™m unable to update, unfortunately. The process results in the message ā€œCouldnā€™t update. Installation problemā€. Anyone with any wild guesses on how I might be able to solve this?

Are you rooted? Is your bootloader unlocked?

Well, not really but kinda. I tried to get /e/ OS installed utilizing their online installation tool but never got beyond the fastboot step right at the beginning. So I just went back performing a factory reset and locking the boot loader again. Considering your question, I suppose I broke stuff. Is there a way to still get updated somehow?

So your bootloader is locked? Then normally this should be no problem.
But worst case if you donā€™t mind losing data, you can try this:

Since in the Developer Options the ā€œOEM unlockingā€ switch is not greyed out, Iā€™d suppose the bootloader to be locked. I will try to gather some more info on my situation in the next couple of days and ultimately follow your suggestion if this leads me nowhere near the updateability.

Thanks for your time and patience!
