I think that there is the the real adaptive battery.

When there are some apps that use too much battery in background, the voice that normally is "Apps are running normally" suggests limiting the background use of these app. If you accept, in the Adaptive Battery menu appears the new section with the restricted apps (see the attachments).

P.S.: with the build 5.140 there is also the compatibility with the Google Device Health Services (linked to the adaptive battery and brightness)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Yup, saw that already, but in other phones, like Nokia 6.1 plus, it's mentioned "adaptive battery"itself there and not "battery meter". Also, anyone having this issue of the light sensor still working even when proximity sensor is blocked during a call? I mean, when a call comes in bright sunlight, you accept, put your phone on your ear, and then when you take it away to press the end button, the screen is too dim to see anything for some time until the light sensor again adjusts the screen? It's not that major a bug, but very annoying.

Me too, it is not fair, and I think that hmd doesn't want to update our Nokia
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
You can just sideload the updates yourself. Basically, what you have to do is this:

Go to https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1 and download the file "NB1-5140-0-00WW-B05-update.zip" from the folder "OTA"

Shut down your phone, then hold volume up while connecting it to a PC via USB

When the "No Command" screen appears, hold down the power button and tap volume up

Use volume up / down and power to select "Apply update from ADB"

On your PC, do adb sideload <path to NB1-5140-0-00WW-B05-update.zip> (if you dont have adb: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)

wait until it was applied and then reboot

It's basically the same as getting the update officially, except that you remove the randomness of a staged rollout.

I don't want to sideload it. I want to receive as OTA.

My region used to be in the first wave to update, but now it doesn't receive any update.

WTF ARE THEY DOING AT HMD
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Well if you dont then just sit and wait until you get the VIP treatment of an OTA that you so desire. Complaining on this thread and then refusing advice from other members won't help with anything.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mateus109:
Yep, me too. Came through this morning. Think I'll hold off updating though as Pie's not getting good reviews, right? :confused:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Pie works fine. Dont listen to fear mongering from a few here that overeact to any update. On my TA-1012 everything works fine. I dont use GPS however so i cant comment on the compass situation. Battery life is great too I get 8-9 hours of SOT discharging from 90 to 20 percent everytime over a 24+ hour period. Just try it out and see for yourself before making decisions.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] al mak:
U are wrong...

Pie is good enough... except compass&poor camera quality
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] revanmj:
After February update it's quite good, the only thing people are still complaining is GPS/Compass and that it didn't improve camera :)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
And OK Google detection not working
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] L_UK_AS:
Is there any way how to update security patch 2019-02 only and not to upgrade to Pie? I have the notification the update is available but I don't want Pie I my phone. Tried beta and it was horrendous. Can I side load just the patch?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] revanmj:
You can't unless Nokia released such patch (and from what I know they didn't).
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Why is there no March sp yet for the Nokia 8, neither any fixes for the compass or a better camera as promised? Usually, we used to get the sp on the same month at somewhat near 20th... But now it's April, still no sign of it.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deoliveiranv:

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZxCv84:
Asked Support if they abandoned the device. Just got promised some more soon and soons.

Don't know how they can be so ignorant. Maybe a Xiaomi with nightly LineageOS is the way to for me. Tired of this vendor lock-down when they do not do anything.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foxbatul:
what it's not working? On my n8 everything it s perfect. smooth, great batt life. android it's very clean.

latest update - 1 febr.

so what "abandoned" device are you talking about?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Quick question. Does uninstalling all google apps (except for google play services and the google services framework) plus all these useless evenwell apps prevent getting OTA updates? Ive been contemplating removing them but dont know if it will stop OTA updates from coming in. Ive already disabled almost all of them, but I'd like to make sure none exist in my system.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Obviously, the compass is not working. And there is surely some issue with how the system handles file actions like copying, coz while copying some file to sd card (note: I've got a 128gb ufs u3 card, so that's not slow) or a thumb drive using otg, the copying might get stuck midway sometimes, and almost all times, while copying large files (like i tried with many 1gb files) the whole system ui become laggy and the whole device get stuck. No response to touch or button presses. You could only wait for 30-40 seconds for it to respond or force reboot. Also, the issue where light sensor still works and dims the screen while the proximity sensor is blocked by placing the phone on your ear during a call, and when you try to end the call, the brightness is much low that you cannot see anything under light.

Plus, the camera with new ui... We were promised that after Nokia/hmd mistakenly pushed the wrong camera update 2 times... We were promised we'll get it along with pie. All we got more is a Google lens button in the camera interface.

Pls, I'm not complaining. Hmd is totally good in providing updates unlike some other companies. But this is not entirely acceptable, considering the n8 is a flagship, and even n6 2017 got most of the promised things on time.

You need root for that right? I think once you are rooted, you won't get ota as it is.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I have a rooted phone. Thats not true. I did get the OTA updates while rooted, just couldnt complete the installation so had to unroot and flash stock recovery.....then complete the OTA installation. Im just concerned about whether or not the OTA update will work if google and evenwell apps are uninstalled. BTW i pulled the trigger and uninstalled evenwell and google apps except for playstore and google services. The issues im having is crash upon launch of Yuzu and FOSS browsers. I decided to replace them with Fennec browser which works fine. The XDA Lab app also somewhat crashes when i open articles from within the app. I suspect it might have to do with me uninstalling Google Chrome and ChromeCustomizations apps.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abelcowl:
The Nokia 8 has guaranteed security updates within 120 days of Google's release. So they technically have until September to release the security update.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Truly one of the most ignored flagships :(

And they don't even care to fix the current bugs, like bokeh mode crashing on first click, the erratic behaviour of the compass, etc. Plus the so called "new camera ui with ai effects".

At least they gave an explanation, that's good. But i don't think it's being greedy, but I'm asking what will they do about the April sp. It's almost time for that too, and i seriously hope all the sps will not be a month late. Also, i hope the update is not just the sp for us Nokia 8 users, as there are some bugs to be fixed too. They need to release a MR.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
That's great Nokia what about those that are stuck on January patch with pie beta.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
Still on pie beta? I was too, but i got official one back then from beta itself, i think with January patch itself.

If the updates are not showing, try removing your sim, use some vpn with some country where official pie is available for beta users and try checking.

If installation failed, but updates were shown, try a factory reset. If it still doesn't work, flash to oreo and let the phone update to the latest build of pie itself. Sometimes, it may go through beta before installing the official one again.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
Which country did you get the update from beta in?

PS I'm in the UK and others here have got.

Been around the world in a magical VPN tour. No joy unfortunately!

Sorry for replying late, i was busy with my exams?

If you still can't get it, try downloading the official ota zip and flashing it from recovery. You can find the link somewhere on xda itself.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
India was one of my VPN stops lol
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hem981:
? Then they might have other parameters set for verification, rather than just availability in the server. Tried removing the sim, reboot, then vpn? Yours is not carrier locked, right? Still, then you would want to consider manually flashing the ota package (about 1.45GB download)

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Is it really that hard to sideload the updates via adb. I really dont get the complaints about updates if they are already available online. Especially for xda users who are supposed to have the technical know-how to upgrade manually. Complaing on this thread wont help HMD Global fix the issues any faster.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusct82:
I didn't responded to you last time you quoted me (about the " OTA VIP treatment"), but now i will respond to you.

I've flashed many phones from many OEM's till now.

I know how to do those kind of things.

But if i don't want to flash my device this means that i have a specific reason (warranty, access to a PC.... IS MY BUSINESS NOT YOURS)

It's not your business what other people do with their phones.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
I added the OTA .zip file and the stock boot image for 514A - which is march security - to my collection of images & stuff at https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1

If you want to update manually, sideload the OTA zip file in stock recovery. If it errors out, download the 5140 (february) update, sideload that, then shut down the device, reboot into recovery and sideload 514A again.

If you want to root 514A, either use my generic TWRP image or take the stock image, preroot it in Magisk Manager and flash it to boot via. fastboot.

If XDA users would know everything, we wouldn't have to write tutorials anymore. We write tutorials because we might save someones day with them, who doesn't know how to do better. If someone wants to not follow those instructions it's prefectly fine, because they will have reasons for it. It is easier for us to ignore them when they are angry about HMD, than it might be for them to manually flash their phones. Hey, I could imagine people not doing it simply for the sake of having payed for the phone that is supposed to get updates without much hassle.

Also, it's not like this XDA subforum is not a huge HMD flamefest already :P

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Germ2501:
I'm just hoping the updates will be back on track after this. A few devices got their March security updates missed/delayed. One of them is even the 9 Pureview. That's right, even their supposedly "latest and greatest" phone.

I haven't been on the forum for weeks so I apologize if this was mentioned here previously.

But I saw someone mentioned on the r/Nokia subreddit that updates were delayed because of some things going on behind the scenes with Foxconn currently. (FIH Mobile, subsidiary of Foxconn that apparently does software for the HMD phones)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
Sure, but complaining on this thread isnt gonna make HMD work any faster to please you. Why don't you post these complaint on their forums or send them directly to them. Im sure it will have much more impact and will have better chance of being seen by them than posting here on xda.

So the boot image is not the exact image the updater expects. But why?

After failing I tried to restore/repatch the (presumed) stock imags - inactive slot was ok, but install direct in magisk to current slot fails.

After "Unpacking boot image" follows "! Unable to unpack boot image".

Question: does somebody knows how the ota patch does work?

If current slot is A, will the patch be applied from B to B (so take boot image from B, and patch and write to B), or shall the patch be applied to the boot image from Slot A and written to B?

So if it logs "Expected: sha256|hex = 7FD77A72E20FCE38F2F0C09B82261B9F3318EAE7C19764939D4CF607F6F43ADC" - does the update expects the hash of active slot A or of inactive slot B boot image to be "7FD....."?
