What apps? Because some time ago Google made changes to how this works and apps must ask user to grant them permission to draw over other apps. When upgraded to a newer version of Android, permission was not removed for already installed apps. But on new device, you most likely have to grant...

Google recently updated its support page about 5G network compatibility to explicitly state that 5G will work only on carriers that Google enabled it.

I've encountered this, but only with my 5 port Aukey charger that does not support PD on its USB-C port and it happens once battery is charged over 10%. Someone on Reddit also had this only with 5 port charger without PD support. Issue does not happen on official charger from the box for me.

Well, there is strictly Android TV version now (it was released with software update for some Sony TVs), but it also fails to work on other devices (says software update is required) - Source.

I had this issue fresh after restoring from backup, but once I restarted the phone later, crashes stopped.

Currently every phone must be approved/whitelisted by carrier for VoLTE / VoWiFi or you must download carrier's app for VoWiFi (if they released it). It's a good will of a carrier if they approve phones that are not sold by them.

Yes, it was visible and I could connect to it, but there was no connection to the internet. So your problem must be something different then.

Check if your APNs hasn't changed to IPv6. I know that with my operator (Orange Poland) hotspot for some reason doesn't work when IPv6 is used, so I have to switch to IPv4.

Anyone noticed security patch level is 1st August instead of usual 5th?

You can revoke Digital Wellbeing access to usage permission, this would essentially disable it. Wysłane z mojego Pixel 3 przy użyciu Tapatalka

Could you be more specific?

You can't unless Nokia released such patch (and from what I know they didn't).

After February update it's quite good, the only thing people are still complaining is GPS/Compass and that it didn't improve camera :)

You can use 'adb sideload' method (you download update on a computer, go to recovery and load update through USB cable). Instructions are linked earlier in this thread.

This thread about stock update, not rooting. So please keep it clean and either ask this in existing thread about rooting or create new one if it doesn't exist yet.

Well, Nokia 8 went on sale in September 2017 and it already got two big updates (Oreo and Pie) which is usually limit for flagships. My guess is it won't get Q and from now on it will be getting only security updates for another year.

Yep, I was on Pie beta, than January 2019 and now on 5.140 (manually installed).

This update is already being discussed for a few days in this thread.

Here you can find detailed instructions how to manually install OTAs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/link-internal-ota-update-to-android-pie-t3872542

Installed manually using ZIP from link few posts above (over Pie with January 2019 security patches) and from what I see there is still no App Actions (no sign of Google's Actions Services package) and location using only BTS (with always on Wi-Fi Scanning disabled) still doesn't work. But...

It is. But first of all it requires re-partitioning of the device memory (unless it had unused partitions that can be re-purposed for Treble, like in OnePluse case from what I remember). Second, it's the kind of software feature that is hard to do by community developers, since it requires a...

Sure, you can flash GSI. But without Treble support, it won't boot.

There won't be digital wellbeing until Google allows it on non Pixel and non Android One devices ...

Nokia 8 is not Android One phone, how many times this has to be said ...

Google removed those options in Pie to simplify setting as they were "confusing for users".

Official support for Digital Wellbeing is required for this to work. So until Google will officially allow devices other than Pixels and Android One to install Digital Wellbeing, wind down and blocking will not work on Nokia 8. This is staged rollout, so it takes time before it reaches...

Both are OTAs, difference is that this is something called "full OTA". It means that it can be installed practically on any firmware as it's like full ROM image. Typically you get something called "differential OTA" which can be installed only over specific firmware versions (since it only has...

This is change made by Google in AOSP due to notches and AFAIK no OEM changed this behavior for phones without notches to shows as many icons as possible.

Nope, HMD joined Android One in February 2018, so every device released before that date is not part of it. Also, all Android One devices have logo of this program included in bootanimation and most of them have this logo on the back of the device too.

It makes sense, as algorithm itself is better than HMD's. Besides, with that many pictures for one shot, you loose ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) and can easily end up with a blurred photo due to hand movement and long capture process.

None are lost, it's just Pie on Nokia 8 is lacking new features that are available on other devices, but are not part of AOSP. Adaptive Battery being the prominent one (OnePlus has it, so it's not exclusive to clean Android), Digital Wellbeing is no surprise as it's Pixel/Android One exclusive...

Adaptive Battery is actually not part of AOSP (at least not entirely) - from what I gathered it requires Device Health Services package from Google that is not part of AOSP (or it requires separate package for calculations, but so far everybody uses the one provided by Google).

MR - Maintenance Release. Update with more changes than just security patches.

They say that beta users will get next (January I guess) security patch before getting MR (most likely with February security patch) since official Pie will be the same as Beta minus Feedback app. At least that's how I understand it. What concerns me more is that means, official build also will...

First of all he is talking about Nokia 8 Sirocco, not normal Nokia 8. Second, Nokia most likely did not want pay for L1 certification for a beta and are waiting with it for a stable release.

I'm running Pie beta and set only 9 shots as I want to have HDR+ with ZSL to avoid any blur due to hand movement.

Seems like Google has removed this in Pie and plans to add it in a "future release" - source.

I think Sirocco uses this styles settings as Nokia 8 and Sirocco were the only ones using Glance instead of Ambient Display AFAIK. After those two HMD seems to have dropped Glance, possibly due to it being more limited than Ambient Display in case of notifications support.

I use 0,5x for window and transition animations, leaving rest on 1x. This way I have quite fast transitions, while still having animations for them. For me 1x feel too slow.

Never had this problem with Spotify.

For me battery seems the same, but I carefully select apps that I allow to run in the background. Can't say about free RAM as I don't check it. But apps are kept in the memory and are not killed while in use (for example Spotify playing in the background), so I'd say memory management is good...

Based on Oreo beta from last year, we'll get OTA to stable version. But you may have to wait for it the same as everybody else still on Oreo with your model/operator/country combination (Oreo beta participatnts didn't get stable OTA immediately after its release as one would expect).

There won’t be any as nav gestures require software nav buttons. We just get new multitask UI and that’s all. Also, to have that new UI with dock and access to apps drawer you must use system launcher. If you change it to 3rd party one (like Nova), you’ll only see recent apps on multitasking...

For those on Pie, MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.0_TlnNeun.apk seems to work well.

Looks like it's not recognized by Beta Labs as Nokia 8 (no phone image). I'd try to remove it and register again. If this doesn't help maybe beta is not available for you variant/operator/country.

You must go to Beta Labs website and click "push OTA" button every time new beta starts, just being registered is not enough.

Official Pie Beta (from Beta Labs) still does not have Adaptive Battery, but it passes SafetyNet test, so Google Pay should work (will test it tomorrow). Camera app seems to be a little newer - it has Google Lens button, which version from Oreo did not have, but there is no Google Motion...

For me it looks like HDR+ is not working at all on this build. I use MGC_6.1.021_FINAL_V1b_A8.1+.apk and here HDR+ works properly, but Night Mode on the other hand seems to have less "power" (but it works and images are a little bit brighter than in normal mode).

Digital Wellbeing has to be installed sperately from Play Store and it's available officially only for Pixels and Android One devices (Nokia 8 has clean Android, but it's not part of Android One program), so you would have to install manually via APK.
