Same here, clearing data and cache have no impact. Disable SE Linux don’t help Reboot don’t help iodé App - disabled protection - details - ota.iode.tech - #18 - rx 96kB - tx 25kB Info: Sometimes iodé app don’t show any connection, anyhow all messangers and browser still work fine. ---

@Revan335 and @ubIx and others, there was an error in the metadata used by our online update service that caused updates to not be found for the Shiftphone 8 (and a few others). It is now solved: > [@Iode updater problem](https://community.iode.tech/t/iode-updater-problem/7815/11): > > This is related to [Unable to update to update described in News app - #9 by vince31fr](https://community.iode.tech/t/unable-to-update-to-update-described-in-news-app/7818/9) Some files were forgotten for updating from v7.2 to v7.3, for Pixel 4, 4a, and shift 8. This has been fixed. You should not use anymore the v6-v7 updater, whose purpose was only to upgrade from v6 to v7. ---

Thanks, works now ---

Is there any progress? I expect, that the reason is the missing signatur of iodeOS on the shift phone (visible via bootloader meaaage). This is not available on CalyxOS, /e/ and ShiftOS L, where the Fingerprint reader was wirking. ---

Can you please clarify what issue we are talking about? You are not able to update to newer versions of iodéOS or you are wondering about progress on FP sensor support? ---

Wondering about 2 things. 1. fingerprint sensor support status. 2. According my research, the reason is the missing signatur, which will be indicated by a message at boot from bootloader ---

> [@Shiftphone8 Fingerprint geht nicht](https://community.iode.tech/t/shiftphone8-fingerprint-geht-nicht/8167/12): > > An upstream LineageOS commit just enabled fingerprint functionality when the bootloader is unlocked. This is the fix I think we have all been waiting for, as it not only will “trickle down” to iodéOS so that fingerprint unlock will work regardless of lock state, but I think it would also allow it to be accepted as an official LineageOS port.

The fingerprint sensor is now working on Shift8 with the last beta version of IodeOS(v7.6). ---

The official version of IodEOS has shifted to 7.6, so the fingerprint should work for everyone, now. ---

Yes, works. Only at my wives phone (with old 3 buttons) the light will sometimes not switched off immediately. The fingerprint light, stays some times some seconds on after unlocking. ---

> [@ubIx](#): > > the light will sometimes not switched off immediately. This is a known issue with the fingerprint firmware. As it only occurs rarely and sporadically, Shift has not yet managed to debug it. ---

Since the 7.7 version (or maybe was it already the case in 7.6 but I failed to check it), this Trust page is all green. Both Platform and Vendor “Android Security patches” are reported Up to date. There is only the “custom key” functionality missing, now ☺ [Previous page](https://community.iode.tech/t/the-shift8-is-now-officially-supported-and-in-stock/7071.md?page=2)
