Android Pie on the Sirocco - The Issue Thread

[doomslyr]

Am i facing these issues ?
--Unable to remove the google search bar. Any idea how to remove it ?
Update- checked with nokia support, cannot remove the bar.
--Increasing volume using side key increases the media voliume and not the ring volume, unlike earlier. Very confusing.

Media volume instead of ringtone volume seems pie feature ? also on pixel 3.
Hate it too...


Pie fixed a bug: automatic bt connecting when phone bt on. Now it seems to work


Battery still great

Missing feature is pie navbar, mostly the recent scrolling feature :/ was great for Multitasking

Pie navbar is under system, gestures, swipe up on home button.

Why would one want call log in app drawer...

Unfortunately mine has been rebooting itself twice after I installed the Pie update last week.

Ok Google is not working for me.

- ok Google doesn't work
- navbar gets cut off and becomes too small to use
- phone (scrolling, typing, etc) lags randomly without any apps open. Only restart fixes it.
- sometimes when taking pictures there's a pop-up saying "saving image" but the picture won't get saved and I can't access my gallery
- Bluetooth range and connectivity is terrible and makes Bluetooth Headsets unusable with phone in pocket
- random restarts while/after charging

Even in the safe mode the phone laggs like hell.
Feels like the official support team has given up

Hi

Mine works very well. Except the launcher issues i do not have any issue.
I have changed the launcher to apex.
No issue with bluetooth, using it daily paired with a ink'd 2 wirelles headset
Using Gcam, so no issue with saving pictures
No lag
No unwanted restarts random or not.
Multitasking is great
Ok google does have aome issues, is not working as it should, sommetimes it detects "ok google" sommetimes not. Also it is not understanding very well what i say to it. I think it is microphone quality issue, it would explain all the problems regarding the "okay google" feature.
P.s. : i try to keep to a minimum of installed apps that uses background tasks or that use push services.

See attached picture. It is a old release from Fu24. I'm sure that newer versions are available, but since i do not have issues with this one i see no reason to update right now.

Download from here (a hub with all gcam ports ever released, updated) : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

I've since been using back.riders Nokia 7 Plus ports (N7P) its regularly updated and they seem to work pretty flawlessly with my Sirocco.

Try intalling the Nova launcher (or some other) and you'll be able to remove the search bar. It worked for me. [emoji4]
