I thought that compass and gps are allready fixed? No issues with that at my phone now...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phantom96:
Did you factory reset your phone?

My phone's compass and gps are still not working properly. Other than that i have no problem with my nokia 8. I really enjoy it and i hate to get rid of it because of these two issues.

I could downgrade it, but i want the latest android too.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rakaloah:
That was fixed in April MR update, or version 5150. No fatory reset needed, some re-calibration would do the trick.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phantom96:
Can you tell me how to recalibrate it? I've done it in google maps but still doesn't work properly.

Edit: i think is working now after i recalibrate it.

Nokia 8.1 get Android Q not even real flegship
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alberto4:
Who said that only "flegships" are getting newer Android versions? It is newer than our 8s and it is Android One, so it has all the reasons to get Q. Getting Q on Nokia 8 would be nice too, but if we don't, I'm sure someone over here will be able to port the Sirocco Q to the Nokia 8 as the phones are pretty similar
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Geemaggio:
I bought this phone under the impression that it would get fast updates.

Instead we got temporary fast updates and a nice locked bootloader to fend off any XDA Developers for the phone's lifespan.

A hand full of absolute XDA heroes are working on this phone but way less than I imagined. HMD fecked up with this one.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teo'123:
If they don't put Android Q on Nokia 8 it would be like they dig their own grave final beta of Q is out so it's within the 2 yrs they promised all updated possible...and there are many still with Nokia 8 it's no good year for new phones since 5G announcement! Btw my nokia 8 in Greece is sleeping ...stuck on March update!!!
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
do we really have to sideload the full updates first and then flash the incremental updates every month when a new update comes out? it seems like just sideloading the latest update fails.

Thanks for boot image. I have a question why after flashed boot image cpu frequency has changed from 518mhz to 300mhz?

after rooting via magisk: https://images.tinypic.pl/i/00987/qgypi8c199tl.jpg

why magisk change this?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILoveAndroid77:
it doesnt. I checked with cpuz, frequencies Change aß expected from 300 to 1900.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mati5000:
Before root Idle frequency was little higher 518. Why magisk change this?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILoveAndroid77:
again, it does not, not for me. maybe a change between july and august, but not from magisk.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mati5000:

This is an official infographic posted on Twitter by Juho Sarvikas:

[IMG="nokia update schedule"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECk8iulUYAEgJV5.jpg[/IMG]

Nokia 8 is nowhere to be found here, that's why everyone says Nokia 8 won't get Android 10.

Nokia 8 Sirocco is there, which has same specs (well, almost the same), so maybe there's a chance.

But 8 Sirocco launched on Oreo, so it hasn't got 2 major updates yet.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Disharmonic:
I'm receiving all the updates today. Took them a while
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxbatul:
good for you. how many ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] galvakojis:
this is deeply sad, knowing all the history with broken promises and crapy updates. I think only bad decisions were made during this phone
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
So you would rather have more empty promises from Nokia regarding this phone? Okay.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] galvakojis:
Hard to say, both ways are too frustrating. Of course I would be happy to get a android ten, but yeah your point also have some value
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Lets hope that somebody will port the Sirocco Android 10 rom to Nokia 8. I think the chances of one of us doing that are much higher than Nokia doing it. Trust me though, I would love to have android 10 as well
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxbatul:
what 's the point with android 10 ? there are nothing but some minor changes , better call android 9.1

nokia 8 it a great phone with good support.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pabliell:
What I'd like from Android 10 is the permission overhaul. More control is always good. Other than that, full system-wide dark mode.

Nokia 8 is a great device, but HMD provides really bad support.

Do I need to remind the compass bug?

So maybe it's for the better that we won't get a new bug-infested update, that will need half a year to get fixed.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxbatul:
thank you. for 120 Eur it 's not better device now.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haleytheslayer:
Actually Android flagship in 2017 stop in android 9, except the Pixels. So i think, we should not blame HMD for this ending, lets enjoy our nokia 8. I using this phone for 2 years and totally satisfied my choice ?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimifoti:
Google is not the only one. Essential PH-1 and even Oneplus 5/5T will get the 3rd major update. Therefore i for sure blame HMD for lack of respect for their customer base that chose to support Nokia’s reboot from the very first flagship.

Hey guys had my nokia 8 for about 1 and a half years now and im still on android 7.1.1 nougat. I have been holding out on updating but i'm thinking og updating now.

Should i update to pie? Or stay on my current firmware?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pabliell:
Go ahead and update. All major bugs are already patched, battery life is really good, at least for me. No crashes or problems either.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mannypro:
Just updated now thanks man.

Btw is the finger print issue fixed or not? The dissapearing finger print issue.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pabliell:
I actually never got it. I might be a lucky one, or they actually fixed before I updated. I waited myself for the compass bug fix, they fixed that around May, so then I updated. Never got any issues fith fingerprint reader.

It's the end of December and my phone is still with the October update. What's the latest security update for Nokia 8?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Geemaggio:
I think it's the end of the line for this device. I feel I should have waited for Nokia to get warmed up before purchasing the first flagship. Great phone but the support and feature updates slowed down fast. The difficulty of installing a custom ROM was also very disappointing. I was hoping for more of a OnePlus vibe but I got quite the opposite vibe unfortunately. Locked down.

Currently using the OnePlus7 Pro and using the Nokia 8 as a spare device. The Nokia 8 is a powerful, stable, simple device, and will likely last many years. Security updates would be a concern though without being able to easily install custom ROMs.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alberto4:
Nokia announced this summer that the 8 will get quarterly updates only. It means that the next update should arrive in January, then April/May and so on

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon0501:
The following text comes from the Nokia Board. I can confirm the problem and many others too!

I've noticed some odd behaviour with NFC on Oreo when trying to use Android Pay. I've managed to use it alright with Nougat though I've only used Android Pay a handful of times.

So, I've been playing about with NFC a bit and have confirmed the following behaviour on two phones:-

Prequesites

- Updated to Android Oreo (8.0.0), security patch level 1 December 2017

- Start with NFC turned on

- Fingerprint lock configured with PIN

- Behaviour observed with glance either on or off

- Testing on an NFC enabled card with "NFC Reader" by Adam Nyback, downloading from Google Playstore

NFC does not work

- Start with screen on

- Lock phone with power button

- Screen should either display glance or be turned off

- Unlock with fingerprint reader

- Attempt to read NFC tag, NFC will not work

NFC does work

- Start with screen on

- Lock phone with power button

- Screen should either display glance or be turned off

- Wake screen with power button or double tap on screen (if gesture is configured)

- Unlock with fingerprint reader

- Attempt to read NFC tag, NFC will work

Note the additional step of waking the phone before unlocking seems to be the key. Once the phone has been unlocked in this way the NFC reader has worked consistently for me (tried 30 - 40 times over a short period of time before I got bored).

If anyone else could confirm this on their handset then maybe a moderator could forward this as a bug report.

I will believe the Pie update for Nokia 8 TA-1012 (UK) when I see it. I also have a Nokia 7+ TA-1055 (UK) Android One which has neither Pie update nor Nov security patch available and am fed up contacting Nokia chat as all they can say is it is rolling out by region and some will take longer. This is bull...t. They are releasing too many phones and cannot keep up with updates.

Don't mind not getting Pie update yet but definitely would like the latest Nov security update. After all the 7+ is supposed to be Android One and to get the updates when released.

I root my phone last July SP, bit lost root access after update.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] theviking33:
No you cannot root with that latest update (not via official Nokia at least)! Read here how its done! Go back to Oreo, get unlock code from Nokia and do what needs to be done. Then go back to the latest. That's all.

What i don't get is why did they told November while the update was available on their servers as post december update
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
As I understand it, the update that has been leaked is an internal build and likely isn't 100% finished.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Software isn't made with magic, it's not always possible to meet deadlines. I would much prefer they wait until it's perfect before they release it rather than push it out with it still having issues.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toedwarrior:
Yes i use the internal build, what i am trying to say internal build has to be flashed top of the december security patch so that means it was already known that pie won't come to our devices before december sp yet they told us we would get it in November
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
Oh I see what your saying.

This is just my own opinion, but just because to get it installed it was necessary to flash them in that order doesn't necessarily mean that they were going to be released in that order.

OEMs have access to the security patches well ahead of thier release so for the internal build it may have been nessecary.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeddyBeers:
They just made seperate security update, than pie.

Simple as is, and much easier to test.

What's the big problem to merge them both together?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuffynet:
Really? I thought that Santa's elfs made the software with a touch of pixie dust and pufff ... Pie build for Nokia 8. :rolleyes:

You don't make promises if you can't deliver. It is not professional. Period And I bet that the final version will have bugs...as always.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajgftw:
No no Santa's elves are too busy this time of year to be making software. It's the Easter bunny usually does the coding this time of year.

Either way, your not wrong. It'd be better if they had met the November deadline. But as long as it's coming I'm happy.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
So is anyone running the Pie internal build going to check for aptX? Thanks!
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stransky:
I would not hold my breath waiting for the Pie update. I also have a Nokia 7+ which has had Pie released for most of Europe since Sept but here I am in the UK and still no Pie nor have they released the Nov security update and the 7+ is an Android One phone. So go figure.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzfan1989:
Did you try a VPN?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stransky:
No, but I tried sideloading and it did not work. Kept getting installation failure. I think it is because I am on Oreo 8.1 with the Oct patch and Pie update has Sept patch so there may be a conflict.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzfan1989:
I was able to get the Nov patch in the UK, by using turbo VPN and setting it to Germany.

phonearena.com/news/Nokia-8-Android-Pie-update-delayed-Nokia-8-1-sales_id111760

This bad news if its true
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
"According to one source, the Android 9 Pie updates for the Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and Nokia 8 are all ready to go and have been for quite some – this explains the recent Nokia 8 benchmark. But in the hope of boosting sales of newer models, the company is currently withholding the updates."

"Despite the promise of receiving the update last month, it’s claimed that HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, took the decision in early November (when the update was ready) to push back its release. The reason behind this being that he believes a delay will force consumers to buy the newer Nokia 8.1.

Reportedly, the original Nokia 8 will now receive its Android Pie update on the last day of December or possibly even early January, essentially two months later than promised."

Wow...
