I would try it, but it took me several hours of trying just about everything to finally manage to flash this (unofficial) LineageOS ROM onto the phone, I almost bricked the phone several times until it finally worked and installed properly at some point, and I’m not sure what I did exactly to make it work.

I don’t really want to ruin the installation at this point :) I’m not sure I’ll be able to re-flash the stock Nokia ROM again safely, and I’m certainly not sure I’ll be able to return back to LineageOS. I think I only got lucky once with that one.

But I don’t need to do that: I used that phone for a very long time with the stock Nokia ROM and it worked fine.

I’ve been reading reports of this problem also happening in other brands of phones with the stock ROM also. Like this one for example: the guy has the problem with a stock Redmi phone and solved it by installing a custom ROM. Kind of the reverse of my experience :)

I think maybe it has something to do with latter revisions of Android: the last Nokia ROM my phone ran was Android 10. This LineageOS ROM is Android 13. I have a feeling the Android version number is the clincher here.

I thought perhaps Google in their infinite wisdom unilateraly decided to disable something useful in AOSP like they usually do, and perhaps there was some adb trick to bring the usefulness back. Hence my initial question. But come to think of it, my Fairphone 4 running CalyxOS is also Android 13 and it works perfectly fine. So maybe not…
