Hi chr,

Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes it's the Volla Phone X, you are perfectly right.

I have to add that in the last times I used the device with Volla OS running on it, both back and front camera stopped running. Maybe it was a side effect of toggelling on and off the phone sensors for enhanced privacy purpose. Volla OS support has never been able to find a solution to this problem but I always wondered if it was not related...
Of course it could be a hardware issue, but I had no damage with the device (no drop nor shock of any kind).

Concerning WLAN, GSM and bluetooth, they are all fine.

Thank you again for your help and for your time.

Hi Phil,

Upgrade via OTA does not work. It's still on the todo. The url must be set at build time.

About the camera. You got a "Volla Phone X" right? It's an assumption that it shall work, vollaOS ran fine on GX290 as the devices just differ in RAM-size. So let's find another user, is this a general bug or just your device:

Is WLAN, GSM and bluetooth working?
