[Nokia 7 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] bebotette:
really disappointed with updated for 1062 [updated]

This is an updated version of my post yesterday

I've been waiting for this pie updated on my 7 plus 1062 but I already got bored so yesterday morning I tried sideloading the stable version from this thread. The process was seamless and after the restart, the Pie update was immediately working. However, I am not pleased. In fact, I'm pissed. I have a 1062 Nokia 7 Plus. Here are some of the problems I encountered after an hour of going around:

1. No navigation gestures. Just none.

2. The pattern lock is not centered sometimes (it's a bit to the left. after putting in the right pattern, it then moves to the center. Yes it unlocks, but this is clearly a bug)

3. No lift to check phone gesture.

4. No battery saving mode, though the adaptive battery is present

5. No double tap to wake.

6. Sometimes, pulling down the quick settings tiles get stuck in the middle. Probably an animation bug. I had to repeat pulling up and down to make it work properly.

7. Brightness slider has a weird 'jiggle' after swiping or tapping for adjustment

8. I have some apps that seem to stop auto-starting too (specifically, tasker, app info mini, tuffs pro, kinscreen). Though swiftly switch, for instance, is autostarting just fine.

9. My call recorder app just won't work.

10. Wallpaper gets chopped off or not centered, I don't know what exactly. This happened when I tried changing wallpaper. The only fix was a restart. Tried this twice.

11. Hiccups here and there. In other words, not smooth. Oreo 8.1 was waaayyy smoother in comparison.

12. BIG ISSUE: last night my phone just went black for no obvious reason. I'm not sure if keys also stopped working; couldn't really tell because the screen was just black. Buttons and fingerprint doesn't seem to work. My batt was at 15%. I was so sleepy so I just ignored it and went to bed. This morning, it alarmed (which means my phone wasn't dead, but only screen-dead). The only way I did to turn down the alarm was to press the volume button. I tried restarting the phone using the power button but I didn't get any response. Ultimately, the power button + volume up button worked. But after working for a minute or two, same problem happened again. I'm thinking this is an issue with the battery saver feature because when I tried to plug in my charger, everything went back to normal.

13. Battery saver icon missing/empty at quick tiles. Pressing it doesn't do anything too.

I also realize from yesterday that factory resetting my phone won't revert me back to oreo. There's no really official/stable way to do it for now. I also found out yesterday that I am using a WW (worldwide) version of TA-1062 (global ROM), but my play store says I'm not certified.

Yes I acknowledge that there's one thread here that says there's a way to rollback to oreo, but I still don't feel confident about it because I don't think it's stable especially for TA-1062 builds.

I'll update this post as I see more bugs. Until now I still don't understand why HMD/Android had to exclude or marginalize this particular 1062 build. It's using the same hardware as the other builds, and I don't see why they have to consider this model less important or less 'legal/official'. Why the delay for this build? Why such complications? Why other builds like 1046 can do everything just fine when 1062 is like being discriminated? Why for this build, they had to disable essential features, including the well-known gesture navigation? Just why???

if you please have any better solution, I'd like to hear them. Thank you.
