[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] SirGarmaples:
Well, you could sideload the update, but that might result in incompatibility issues and/or bugs, but we don't know for sure since not many people have done that and that it is recommended to do a full wipe before sideloading it.

And yes, the OTA for Beta 4 will wipe all data on the phone's internal storage, not just app data, and there is no known workaround other than sideloading Beta 4 on Oreo, which might not turn out good.

I think it'd be better to stick with Oreo for now, especially since Pie does not support Substratum and it does break some older apps which have not been updated for it. Also, I guess you would be knowing this, it makes the device "Uncertified" in the Play Store.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
What do you mean noone has tried that. I didn't wipe my data before sideloading for, and neither did many other people here.

I, personally, have had no issues whatsoever.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Does anyone have any idea when the official stable version of Android Pie is coming to Nokia 7 plus?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] ivo777:
+1
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] bvanaerde:
Actually, there were some problems that I (and others) noticed when sideloading a beta version without wiping.

Nothing really major, but it might be worth noting that there's a chance it might work not as well as with a clean install.

What I recall from the top of my head:

Already registered fingerprints not shown in the overview, resulting in not working fingerprint authentication unless you add at least another fingerprint.

Problems with GPS fix, resulting in Google maps or Waze being unusable. Waze was fixed by clearing app data, but this did not work with Google maps.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I meant that I have had no issues whatsoever after sideloading the preview. I will update my post
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] SirGarmaples:
Just to be clear, you sideloaded from Oreo to Pie without wiping?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
Yes I did.

After rolling back to Oreo via OTA, I don't get August OTA update. Everytime I check, it's showing no update available.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rajeev:
Known issue bro. Simply sideload OTA package
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] shailinder:
What about on Pie beta? I am on latest beta and yet to receive Aug security update. Should I be sideloading it?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
There is no August update for Android Pie beta. It's only available for stable Oreo. In order to get August OTA update, you need to roll back to Oreo. But like I said, there is a problem. Even after rolling back to Oreo and unregister from the beta program, I am not getting Augist OTA update. And there is no way to sideload August OTA as it is not available on Nokia developers website. If you select manual roll back, it will give you the Oreo zip file of July.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] shailinder:
hmm..Got it. I wanted to know this from last couple of days.:highfive:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] nul800sebastiaan:
Sorry but you are joining a beta program, not all issues have been smoothed out yet. You should not join a beta program if you're not ready to run into bumps and roadblocks. You have no guarantee and general support staff is not yet trained on beta versions, which is to be expected. Be happy that we're getting very fast updates, and be happy that they've been fairly stable.

Today I rollback to oreo now I got August update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Hi,

You blamed me for putting dots in my posts and "caused the stir in first place". Can I request you for the section where it is mentioned that we can not use dots instead of writing "Deleted"? I know the law very well. And I also know you can't blame someone without proper note. The question that was asked to me, should have been asked without being provocative. Putting dots in a post (as there is no way to delete a comment) is not a crime (nowhere in the world. I bet it's not a crime on XDA as well) and should not be reacted with taunting comment.

You are teaching me a lesson to be polite and respectful to others when the matter of fact is, your way of talking is more ill-mannered and disrespectful than mine (your above comment is the proof). Rule should be same for everyone. I have already forwarded your above comment to MikeChannon and requested him to see if this is the way a moderator/admin should talk. I have also taken a screenshot of the message for future reference. You are asking me not to consider XDA my personal blog, but your way of talking confuses me if XDA is your personal property.

I will wait for Mr.Channon to decide if your way of comment is justified. Then I will move for the next step. Like I said before, I know the law very well. So, I am not gonna digest this insult easily.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] divvykev:
Did you roll back manually or ota?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] sarath medithi:
Downgraded using OTA.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] shailinder:
If I may ask the reason for rollback. Was it August update or something else?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] spaha-bih:
I downgraded to Oreo the first day we got the latest pie beta update. Had some bugs and had to roll back.

But still I got the august security update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
You have to go to Nokia support website and unregister your device.

I did the same and it was there after a while...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Yeah I finally got the OTA after unregistering my device from the beta program
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] sarath medithi:
The reason for downgrade is not the August update. i had a problem with Bluetooth connectivity to my newly bought smart watch.

I didn't unregistered with beta program still I'm getting OTA updates. With DP3 also i got all three updates.

Is there a way to change screen calibration settings in the P beta? Like a "Natural" profile similar to what Motorola implement.

I love the LCD screen they've used on the 7 Plus, but the default colours of the screen are far too oversaturated and ugly. Trying too hard to be an un-calibrated, Samsung AMOLED by the looks of it.

Hello. I have a few questions:

1. What is the real advantage of going to android today?

2. are there any bug or failure with respect to android oreo?

3. Does the installation of android cause a total erasure of data?

4. When is the release of android P official?

thank you all.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] urshurak:
This question doesn't belong in this android P-beta thread imho, but I'll try to answer it.

1. What is the real advantage of going to android today?

It's more flexible, more choice of phones, and usually cheaper phones. If you're a Mac-person and use only Mac-products or are very much into safety/privacy, and don't mind paying more for a phone then an Iphone is your choice. and there's also still Blackberry of course.

2. are there any bug or failure with respect to android oreo? Sure, it's software. If you choose an Android One phone you have guaranteed security-updates for 3 years. Oreo is running stable and smooth. Even the Pie-beta dp4 runs pretty smooth and stable for daily use already.

3. Does the installation of android cause a total erasure of data? It's on your phone already when you buy it, upgrading OTA (over the air) is easy and usually without data-loss, unless you take part in beta/developer programs, but then you still have the ability of sideloading without dataloss. I don't know if upgrading to Pie-final causes data-loss. but you can backup almost everything on google-drive. The N7+ doesn't have a gallery so media is already stored in google-photos. You only have to login on your apps again and perhaps store some doc files in the cloud yourself. Be careful with the google-authenticator-app though, it doesn't store your data!

4. When is the release of android P official? The official release has already occured on august 6 2018. We on Nokia 7+ expect it very soon, somewhere in September, but like I mentioned before, you can already try the beta.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] alessa:
I am really confused ...

In fact every time I wrote Android P, the Google translator wrote Android but not the P!

I thank you all the same for your very clear answer.

Despite this, I will rest my questions correctly.

1. What is the real advantage of going to android P today?

2. are there any bug or failure with respect to android oreo?

3.Does the installation of android P cause a total erasure of data?

4.When is the release of android P official on Nokia 7plus?

Just to make it clearer. I already have a Nokia 7plus with oreo.

I apologize again for this situation.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Jacobofski1:
Download the update manually and a manual update using ADB. Do not wipe your phone. The phone start normally without a Setup procedure. No data lost. It is always a good idea to make a backup of your data onto a SD card. I have done this twice already.

If you want to go back to Oreo, you will unfortunately have to do a wipe of all your data.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
:laugh: At first I was also confused by the missing P on most of your questions, but the fact that you mentioned Oreo made it quite clear that you were asking about P :laugh:
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vahtmestar:

At a media event in New Delhi, HMD's Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas confirmed that the Nokia 7 Plus would be receiving the stable*Android 9.0 Pie*update in September, becoming the first Snapdragon 660 device to do so.

Portrait works here (android p beta). But if I take photo with are stickers on, picture gets odd aspect ratio
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] urshurak:
Ok. In your second question you were mentioning bugs/failures of Oreo, so why do that if you mean Pie. But just make sure everything is backed up and try it, you won't regret it. I rolled back because of the august-update on Oreo and am already back on Pie cause I really missed the gesture-navigation of Pie on Oreo.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] safron35:
Android p

Just updated my phone to pie and don't like Google assistant on the bottom of the screen,is there a way to remove it, thanks
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Sanjayrao20:
It was always in d bottom. Even on Oreo.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
Not true. On Oreo it comes at the top by default, while on Pie it comes at the bottom and cannot be removed or moved.

This should be fixed in the next update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Sanjayrao20:
Do ull mean the search bar or assistant?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vahtmestar:
You mean that search bar on bottom off screen ? That's feature of quickstep and cannot be removed. So it's not an issue, it's feature of android p.

Sound output

Sound output while playing music from gaana app is extremely low, did anyone notice and plzz tell me how to rectify.

On the latest beta. never tried ganna on oreo though.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Amazon Prime Music is working great. Using it with Bluetooth headphones though. Dont know about speaker volume or wired headphones.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
Is it too difficult to do? I see the tutorial on Nokia's website is pretty large and confusing...

Thanks
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] urshurak:
If you mean the searchbar, you could use a launcher like Nova Launcher.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] jaskiratsingh:
No such problem on oreo
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Jacobofski1:
No, it is relatively easy. But it will be your worthwhile to read the Documentation very carefully and follow it step by step. If you are not sure read it again. It is imperative that follow these instructions step by step. To make it easier on yourself, copy the Update file into the same directory as the ADB directory, and rename it to OTA_FILE.zip. It will make it easier to type when loading it. If you are still not sure, it might help if you can find someone with Computer knowledge to help you through this process. It would have really helped if you were a developer.

If for any reason you want to go back Download the Roll back file last. This is because the Time Stamp on the Roll Back file will be later than the Update file. Because if the time stamp on the Roll Back file is set earlier, the device won't allow you to roll back.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
Thanks a lot for the explanation.

Guys, is it only me or after upgrading to P beta 4 the dual tone flash doesn't work anymore? Just the top "cold" led turns on, when I turn on the flashlight or in the camera app.

As soon as I can I'll report it, but should I report it to Google or Nokia?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Doktaphex:
In theory you should report it to Nokia of course, however, there is no point as it is a well known issue.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Adrepixl5:
It'll surely come later. Nokia has always been adamant with software updates. In the meantime, can anybody tell me, why since the P update i can't use gcam? Even before 155. On 150 i'm sure it wouldn't work either
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] urshurak:
Maybe empty the cache? I tried several mentioned here and they worked. Like GCam_5.3.015-Pixel3Mod_Arnova8G2-v4Beta4.apk which I have installed right now. But you should post your question in the gcam-thread I think.

I have been facing a weird issue on Android Pie (July patch). I keep losing some features on Gestures. Everytime I reset the device, those options come back, but after a few hours they go away somehow (See the screenshot below). My device is unlocked anyway. But I am sure this issue has nothing to do with unclocked bootloader. I don't know what is going wrong.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
It's the same with lock screen message, it also goes away and shows up...that's why it is called beta and test release...

Patience my friend, patience...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Also, a few magisk modules do not work (especially Viper which is the only reason I unlocked bootloader for). I'm not sure if they are not compatible with Android Pie or if they are not working only with beta rom. But one thing I like about Android Pie is the smoothness and the animation when opening and closing an app.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] pujolsk:
I think it is up to Android Pie, and we should wait a bit more for full support.

I also like animations and transition effects on Pie, and I am sure once the stable version is out we are going to be happy :)

Asking a question to the fellow testers out there : I'm on 8.1/Aug patch but my 7 plus is one of those suffering from that annoying issue with the headphone jack (reversed detection and routing to speaker instead of headphones - only workaround is to restart with headphones inside the port ).

Did Nokia pull back the latest Nokia Camera app update? Because previously when I rolled back from Android Pie Beta (July) to Oreo, I got the update of 247mb. Then I upgraded to Pie Beta again after a few days. But now after rolling back from Pie Beta (July) to Oreo (August), I am no longer getting the Camera update (waited for almost 2 days). Surprisingly, I am getting update for all other apps. So, I think Nokia pulled back the update for XYZ reason.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] frankee207:
Hello,

I think so. I did not do the update because of bad comments on play store, now the application does not appear anymore on the "to be updated app" on play store.

So I also think Nokia pulled back the update.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
One more thing. When I select a pure black image as home screen wallpaper, I see a shadow of white light at the top of the page. It's like the white light is dripping in the screen. I noticed that on my previous Mi A1 as well. I'm not sure if it has something to fo with IPS screen.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:

You wil get Rollback OTA with July security patch. Later August OTA update will popsup. all you need to do is wait for OTA notification.

Depends where you live, your carrier etc as according to HMD they are the ones blocking the latest August update. :rolleyes:

Here in the UK its a problem with all their phones but they keep blaming others.

When I rolled back it went to July update and then I had to sideload the august update.
