What I found in some of the phones having proper pie update... Adaptive brightness is an additional feature seperately provided on them... An AI feature that understands the users usage of using brightness level in different lighting conditions. As per previous adaptive brightness feature in oreo... Brightness level is automatically adjusted according to present lighting condition...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
In theory...on the Nokia 8 I have seen ZERO evidence that it took any account whatsoever of the frequent adjustments I have to make as it's way too dark in general. I briefly had the Xiaomi Mi 8 and it was the same problem so I'm not sure whether this feature is all that it's cracked up to be !
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abelcowl:
Digital Wellbeing is a feature exclusive to the Pixel line of phones and thus will not reach any Nokia phone. Navigation Gesture (yes, singular. It's only one gesture) will not be available since the phone has physical buttons and good riddance: Google's implementation of gestures is terrible and useless.

Either go the full Ubuntu Touch/SailfishOS/BBOS10 or don't do anything. The gesture to open multitasking adds nothing over tapping the Multitask button and leaving that space blank is just mediocre.

Yes, that's all it is. Supposedly the "AI" will learn from your habits over time and adjust the brightness accordingly, but it doesn't work. If you spend most of your time indoors, then it will be too dark outside and vice-versa. And now since the "AI" knows best, you'll undoubtedly end up wrestling the brightness bar every two seconds since it will "correct" your settings. As I'm typing this the screen is too bright because the "AI" refuses to let me set the brightness to a minimum in my pitch-dark room.

Anyway, the only missing features in the Nokia 8 Pie update are the battery improvements (if they are as good as their other "improvements" I'm expecting 5 hours less of battery per charge), camera improvements and the fingerprint reader. A bug currently wipes out all the stored fingerprints after a reboot.

If the Pie update seems underwhelming it's not because Nokia made a bad update, it's because Google dropped the ball hard with Pie.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haleytheslayer:
Anyone know the 277mb file in the last line is an update or??? I see the 71mb is the December update and 900mb is the stolen Pie we got in the end of November but dont know about this 277 mb.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jacobofski1:
Digital Wellbeing is not an exclusive to Pixel only, it is available to all AndroidOne phones. It is working well on my Nokia 7 Plus. Adaptive brightness take about two to three weeks to adjust to your liking of brightnrds. And I wonder where did you picked up the "bug" that wipes out all the fingerprints after a reboot. None of that on my Nokia 8. The battery improvements on Pie is quite spectacular on my Nokia 7 Plus. It also take two to three weeks to adjust fully.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Manuj4321:
Ya I too agree with this... I have Mi A2 also... And digital wellbeing works pretty well in that case .. as far as finger print censor is concerned... I have not registered it again... And previous one is is also working great after Pie update...

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeddyBeers:
So that's why I just lost my stored fingerprints.

Also I had a big problem adding them as it would not let me add the same fingers.

Other fingers could be added without any issues, but not the ones that I've already used.

The only way around it was to start scanning them from the part they probably wasn't scanned the last time - far away from fingernail.

Yes, this is an update from build 5110 to 5120. I got it installed through sideload future in recovery.

What exactly it does? - haven't got a clue as I have the same bugs as stock update.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Strange about the fingerprints, mine have survived reboots using Pie. On the other hand "adaptive brightness" does not work at all and it must about a month now since it's installed.

Sirocco it is part of Android one and dont has hard button like nokia 8 , so it will has some gesture, digital wellbeing....which 8 never got (at present).

So , what is happening ? *New* version of official pie is out?Different of the one we sideloaded ? We have , if i am not mistaken ver 5110 and i see a ver 5120 (~270mb) going around in forums?Is that a patch of some kind ?

We have a link for it?Can we sideload it as we did with 5110?Can be done over this version?And has someone installed it?Does it change anything crucial?

Thanks in advance for any answers guys.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haleytheslayer:
I sideloaded this 5120 update and found that nothing change compared with 5110.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Caramidariu Alexandru:
Hi all , new update appeared on my screen , I was happy , it requested restart , I said ok , and now is bootlooping with a logo that says "android" and there is a sound now and again (is like a small speaker noise) .

It won't get into recovery , it does not even reset if I keep Volume Up + Power , so I always have to wait for it to drain all baterry before I can try starting it in another mode .

Any ideea how to solve this ?

Strage thing is if I connect to PC it appears as "Nokia 8" in Bluetooth and other devices , and the CD-Rom icon appears in My Computer .

I'm on Pie update

From time to time my Nokia 8 reboot itself.

Maybe because I have to make a clean install, factory reset the phone?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankoid:
I had random reboots on Pie, tried factory reset but they kept happening so downgraded back to Oreo, haven't had one since.

If the update was released to the general public then it is 100% official (No inverted commas needed) and any 'bugs' would become just normal everyday official bugs.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] coursemyhorse:
I assume Pie update just hit UK on this phone? My friend and I both have unlocked 6gb ram models of this phone and just received the update notification today. I am postponing this update based on what I have seen of Pie though in the hope that they will address some of the issues or at least make some of the "features" customizable. Is it possible there will be a follow up release like Pie 9.1? I don't want my clock on the left hand side and I don't want a crippled notification area for notchless phones like the Nokia 8. I also don't want my notification pull down crippled and made white eveywhere. The gesture system looks a bit half backed to me. Oreo is so good I'm tempted to keep it on Oreo and keep the phone running it for another year. I guess Nokia 8 is however extremely unlikely to get Android 10?

Thoughts appreciated.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

For those that install the update, is it recommended to factory reset afterwards or has it been stable from just simply updating? All data and settings kept ok?

What do you think of it?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] midomashkel:
I had got Offesial Pie 9 update in Egypt just tody.

The notification said it is build 5110 with December security patch 1573 mb but I afraied to update because of ver 5110 many bugs but while I am trying to download by desktop it shows only 1535 mb zip file . now I am downloading it after finishing i'll see if it is same version or not.

For anyone who's interested how to capture those links.

1. Enable developer options

2. Run System update. Wait for message "new update available"

3. Go Developer options and run full system report.

4. Once captured, email it to yourself.

5. Open zip file om PC (or phone with txt editor capable to open 24MB file)

6. Search for "android.googleapis.com".

7. This is your link to official OTA.:o

Pie finally arrived on my phone today. So I need advise. Do I just ignore this notification and keep using 8.1 if im not ready?

Also what do i need to do beforehand if i decide to let it it restart my system? I want to make sure i do everything right so I dont lose files or data.

Will my apps still be there after the update and will my settings still be the same? Or will it wipe out everything and i'll have to start from scratch? How do I proceed without messing up big time?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] paja97:
Don't worry all your settings and data will be saved also don't expect some big difference
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Thanks for the quick reply. Are you saying that i should probably wait for a better update and leave this one alone?

Its a shame such a phone has not much community support given its high end specs at a cheap price. I was shocked to know that we dont have a custom rom like oxygenOS for the nokia 8 nearly 2 years after its release
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancake:
In fairness they only allowed the bootloader to be unlocked at the end of Sept 18.

I would run the update to Pie personally, good update and I like the changes. I'm not really too sure what the people who are moaning on here were expecting - I think some still have a bee in their bonnet over the fact it was 'late'.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankoid:
I also think it's good in general and like the changes, however I rolled back to Oreo because I was getting random reboots/shutdowns every few days on Pie. Are you getting any random reboots etc?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancake:
No issues here, running the beta version that was originally made available with Dec security patch.

Did you factory reset on Pie before rolling back to Oreo? Shouldn't be necessary but may be worth a go.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankoid:
Yes I tried a factory reset on Pie, still had reboots afterwards. I was on build 5110, are you on that or 5120?

Upgrade to Pie 9

I had upgrade to Offecial pie 9 build 5110 and I was surprised to find that most of issue and bugs is not there.

Perormance is Exellent no lag at all, nearly same as oreo 8.1

I caved in and decided to update this morning. Been using it for over 12 hours now. Havent experienced any of the problems people have been speaking of. All my apps work as expected. One thing ive noticed is that the update cured the lag and random freezes while using the Google Camera app, so im happy about that. Also the update seems to have fixed the issue I had installing apps from F-Droid. The installation would hang and crash in Oreo but now it finishes without crashing.

The speed really seems yo be the same and I havent yet noticed changes in battery life. Right now I am at 47% battery after charging to 85% and the current SOT is 4hours and 54minutes. So i guess not different from the stats i got with Oreo.

One thing I don't like is the new battery setting menu. In oreo it used to be easy to monitor apps that drain battery because I could easily compare the time of use together with the mAh units used. Now they decided to remove the mAh unit stats which sucks, but its definitely not a deal breaker.

All in all after half a day of use im enjoying Android Pie and have had no urge to downgrade to Oreo.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mKay00:
I haven't read the whole thread, but one bug I have found is that alarms with the app "Alarmy" doesn't work reliably anymore. This is a rather annoying bug, because if you try the alarm, it works, but I guess if you sleep for some hours the battery management system disables background activity and thus no alarm goes off. And sometimes it works apparently, because it took a few days for me to figure this out. I thought I forget to set the alarm or that I just slept through the alarm. :D

I had this issue constantly on my last few weeks on Oreo (most apps). Upgrading to Pie fixed it (probably by wiping cache somewhere).
