[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
Have you tried the suggestion I linked to above? Nokia itself suggested it, too:

To try and get your phone to update to the latest Android Security Patch and Version, could you please do the following: First, please go to Settings >> Applications >> Three dots on the top-right >> Show System >> > Cache >> Carrier Services >> Storage and tap to clear it. Remove any SIM Cards on your device and shut down your device (Long press the Power Button >> Power Off). Wait for about 15 minutes, then turn on your device without the SIM Card. 10 minutes after it loads, please connect to a stable Wi-Fi Connection and check for your System Updates by going to Settings >> About Phone >> System Updates. Should this not work, please go back to step 2, but on step 3, please insert a SIM Card from a different Network Operator and proceed to step 4. https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000023194
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Sorry, I could have been clearer in what I said.

I am with Vodafone in Australia and they haven't released an update since android 8.0 (December security patch).

However my Nokia 8 is currently on Android 8.1, April security patch.

I have always kept my girlfriends and my own Nokia 8 running the most recent update available using a method similar to the one you're referring too.

For reference, my current method is:

- Remove the Vodafone Australia SIM

- Disable GPS Location (including WiFi and BT scanning)

- Enable an always on VPN set to another country where the update has been released (Germany or Denmark typically)

- Clear the data & cache and of Carrier Services

- Reboot the Device

- Check for updates and download and install the update.

Unfortunately, in Australia at least, using another carriers SIM wouldn't help much because they are often months behind other countries carriers at best.

But of all the Australian carriers, Vodafone, in my experience, is the worst at releasing Android updates in general but they are plain lazy when it comes to the Nokia 8.

Currently they do not release security patches as they are made available by Nokia (i.e. every month), and instead choose to bundle the updates and release them every 6 months (or more) to users.

This is why I suggested in my previous post that trying a Vodafone (Australia) SIM wouldn't help at all. ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
Updates for Nokia phones using Vodafone in Australia are particularly delayed because Vodafone is the only carrier selling Nokias, and so it's decided to do its own testing.

Yeah, I'm in Australia and was stuck with 8.1 beta for months on my Nokia 8 before I sold it. I wish I'd known about these tricks then. While I tried a VPN at the time, I didn't include the other steps.

Looking back at a previous post of yours, I see you ended up wiping in order to receive the 8.1 update. I wonder if that step would have been required if you'd included the step of Settings >> Applications >> Three dots on the top-right >> Show System >> > Cache >> Carrier Services >> Storage and tap to clear it. That may achieve the same thing as wiping, without having to reconfigure your phone.

Can I ask which VPN app you use?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Yeah the first time I went to update the phone nothing I did was working to trigger the update. And I mean I tried everything.

So I just wiped the phone based on the theory (wild guess) that because Vodafone are doing thier own testing and releases, the firmware on my phone might have a different version number than anywhere else in the world which might be why I couldn't get it to work so I took out the SIM card, factory reset the phone and followed the steps I posted above.

As for which VPN, I use CyberGhost (Premium).

But I didn't use the app as it isn't able to create an always on VPN, I had to set up a VPN profile and then add it to the phone manually.

There may be other VPN apps that can create always on VPNs, but I'm already paying for cyberghost so just did it that way :P

[MX Player] IevgenSobko:
Hi.

Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.

But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.

When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.

HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.

Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.

TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.

How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
[MX Player] biobio76:
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,

have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Kindly share the bug report collected from MX Player help menu.

until or unless you share the bug report collected from MX Player, it's very difficult to identify the actual issue.

I've been trying to get Amazon Prime Video to run on mine but it crashes every time, Android 7.1..2
[MX Player] IevgenSobko:
[MENTION=4258555]Thirumalai.K[/MENTION] any update on this?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.

Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.

We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.
[MX Player] IevgenSobko:
Just tried 1.9.19 and it works Thanks for implementing this. Will wait it to appear in Google Play Store for Pro version that I have purchased.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
As we are rolling out in a stages, it may take a while. If Google Play is not yet showing the update, youn download the same from our website (http://mx.j2inter.com)
[MX Player] IevgenSobko:
Many thanks. Somehow missed link to player web site in Google Application Store. Downloaded PRO beta from there. :good:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
Edit: If you want this edit on the Oreo update (I just received it today) you must add the APN before updating. They have remove the button to add a new APN.

If it is added before you update it will stick!

I have only tested this on my sprint V30+ and am assuming it also works on the Sprint V30 and probably also the G6 but i cannot test them

also this should work on all the providers that require dun be active in the apn.

Even though the apns are locked(grayed out) and we cannot edit them they still allow us to add new ones.

so i tried adding an new apn with all the same settings as the default "internet" apn but adding in ,dun.

Worked Flawlessly!:D hotspot activated no hesitation.

Those of you who have other providers an wanna try you will need to get your default APN.

If your on sprint yours is probably the same as mine so you may skip to step #2.

Step #1

To view your current apn settings without your msl you open the dialer and type in ##debug# (##33284#) to open the hidden debug menu.

click on "Active APN Connections" and click on the default internet APN (Mine is titled "internet").

you can view all the settings but once again you cannot edit but right down your settings and then move on to step #2.

Step #2

now that you have your APN settings open settings and click More - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.

hit the 3 dot settings icon then hit add APN.

For Sprint only change the fallowing items leave everything else alone.

Name - hotspot (this can be anything you want)

APN - x.ispsn

Username - null

Password - null

APN type - default,mms,dun

APN protocol - IPv4/IPv6

others who decide to try this add all your settings in but like always add ",dun" to "APN type"

Now hit the 3dot menu again and save and thats it you should now see your new APN in the list of locked ones.

you do not have to do anything else in that menu just go turn on your hotspot and enjoy.

This method also holds through reboots.

Also...

Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments

you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.

Edit

If Restore default settings does not show up in your menu after adding a new APN you can still reset them by typing ##scrtn# into your dialer an hit ok
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Thanks for this. Will try later and report back..

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

I dont see a "restore default settings" option in the 3 dot menu.. just "add apn".. How would I start over or go back to the default setting if necessary?? Thanks...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
The option for restoring defaults only shows up after you have added an APN
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Dont have that option for some reason. Strange.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
Hmm that is strange tell me is yours leased or under an installment plan?

I'm wandering cause mine is uicc unlocked due to mine being bought outright I'm just curious if that makes a difference.

Also may try ##scrtn# in your dialer it's suppose to reset your network don't know if that includes apn or not
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Mine is leased actually.. But I did follow your instructions to get hotspot working and it seems to be working. However something strange is happening. My daughter connected her phone to my hotspot and works as it should but with her tablet it connects fine but no data seems to be transfering.. just weird..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
So that may be what is different... and as for it not working

I had the same issue when I first figured this out I was at work testing it with my buddies phone and it would connect but no internet seemed to go through but then I went to hotspot settings and changed it to 5 GHz and it worked fine I changed it back to 2.4 right after and it worked fine from then on even on his phone (I wanted mine in 2.4 GHz because my car does not support 5 GHz )
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try it tomorrow see how it goes..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
Ok keep me posted thanks for testing this also if you don't mind my asking is yours V30 or V30+ ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Will do. V30+
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:

question...does this work with T-Mobile to bypass the speed limitation for included HotSpot?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
I'm not sure only way to find out is test it
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Llew292:
Also did test ##scrtn# in your dialer does clear your apns

So you can reset that way
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
I did. And yes, it does reset apn.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lurien:
Had to do the reset.. my phone started acting funny with error messages and data would stop working after a while after changing the apn to get hotspot working... Just strange..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] acefr:
I am on the T-Mobile business plans. It does not seem to do anything for me.

Do you want to test it and compare with my result?

Two methods for S-ON or S-OFF device, please do it under Nougat 7.0 firmware installed.

S-ON

1. Reboot to TWRP recovery

2. Use the command below to erase persist partition

adb shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

S-OFF only

1. Reboot to bootloader (not download)

2. Use the command below to erase persist partition

fastboot erase persist

Is that possible to downgrade without S-OFF??

Please watch my video, HTC 10 can downgrade in the same method!!!

PS. This video is for HTC One M9, please use Nougat RUU/firmware for HTC 10 to do downgrading.
