I just swipe up randomly on the screen, no specific area. Works for me. (Maybe I misunderstand the issue?)

Sometime when my finger are not recognized the phone I ask for a pin code.
I have not found a way to swipe to enter the pin.
Has anyone ?

I have just upgraded to Android 11. Seems alright so far. It took a few reboots until the phone remembered about its microSD card, which messed a bit with apps that have data there - now my music player will spend some time rebuilding its 40K track database...

Gestures also suck compared to physical buttons.

'Most people don't get it '
Xcover pro mobile phone is simply great in so many ways.
So many that it's hard to grasp for many.

Missing physical buttons for home/menu/back ... what a joke. The project manager should be fired, Xcover brand means a tough usable phone in difficult conditions, that's why we need physical buttons. Xcover pro should be like 4S or field pro with the screwed back cover, but with the extra cameras + thermal maybe. They had the perfect design with the xcover2 then they just got worse and worse. And this is just another phone with an unreplaceable hard case.

Most people just do not get it.
What we are seeing is a whole new direction for smartphones that could entail a much more environmental and ecosystem friendly direction that we all should support.
A way that could lead us away from excessive exploitation of the earth's limited resources.
Why people don't support repairability and longevity will be asked by our children and their children.
Wake up folks.

I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro from Amazon with a 30 day return policy (to use with Verizon because Verizon didn't have any available yet) when it first came out based on reviews and it being designed for Military, Law Enforcement, and Worksite Uses, better able handle rugged use, cool Bixby stuff, alleged programmable buttons, great camera, and other bells and whistles. Sounds like the perfect phone for anyone really. ADVERTIZED as completely compatible with every cell phone provider's service. The first thing Samsung, Amazon, and Verizon do not tell you or make public knowledge is that you cannot download from the Google play store many of your favorite Verizon apps that would have come preloaded if you bought the exact same phone through Verizon. The second thing they don't tell you is that none of the work around alternate apps you so diligently search to find on the play store will sync or work properly with the phone, or other Verizon apps that are available, or their service without freezing your phone at times, or taking over so much control of your whole phone, and requiring you to give up all your privacy that they make your new $500+ phone useless except to make phone calls. And those not without issues as well. And that it will take you more than 30 days to find all this out which is past your return date. So my advice is, if you like certain apps preloaded by any provider and the phone NEVER BUY AN UNLOCKED PHONE FROM A NON PROVIDER OR MANUFACTURER. ALWAYS BUY FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDER. The provider phone can be unlocked around 60 days after purchase anyway. Oh and this zoomy cool phone is now nowhere to be found as being touted to be what it was a few months ago. But I had to have it at the time because it worked with my Bluetooth Phonak VA issued hearing aids and the app they upgraded to not work with my LG G5 even though it claimed to be compatible with it. So, BUYER BEWARE of the deception by omission everywhere you turn.

It's a scam.
Citation from SAMMOBILE:
All in all, it’s a phone designed for first responders and enterprises first and foremost, but anyone who’s looking for a rugged device with a removable battery can buy and enjoy the XCover Pro as long as they don’t expect flagship-grade performance.
It's simply a great mobile to use.

It is a bit early to tell for sure, but I think yesterday's system update fixed my issue with the battery drain from the CameraLightSensor system app.

But mobile phone manufacturers must have persuaded Google not to.
That is their way to get the public to buy anew.
Hindering repeatability, gluing battery, dropping headphone jacks, using all glass on backs ought to be banned.
Up until now the EU has only succeeded with the C-type
USB connection.
What a shame.
