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
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.
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.

Just installed this update -- looks like it's a Maintenance Release in addition to Security Patches, as per the Nokia site. Does anyone know where I can find a more detailed Release Notes, at least about what's in the Maintenance Release?
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?

Go ahead and update. All major bugs are already patched, battery life is really good, at least for me. No crashes or problems either.
Just updated now thanks man.
Btw is the finger print issue fixed or not? The dissapearing finger print issue.
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.

18For all those who are still waiting for Pie, this is the captured OTA URL: https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../59bd9a533025ca61629b32eb85fd6e410705c1dc.zip
Don't worry about the TA-1004 references, the OTA will work on all models.
If you want to update to Pie directly you can download that zip file and install it by either sideloading it through the stock recovery, or by renaming it to "NB1-5110-0-00WW-B05-update.zip",
copying it to the root of your internal storage, and then dialing *#*#874#*#*. This also allows you to keep root by installing Magisk to the inactive slot. It doesn't matter which security patch you
have, you only need a stock boot image. I will fetch stock and TWRP prepatched images later and upload them as well (maybe after christmas though, let's see).
Have fun with your Christmas Pie! (or rather Dough given the actual features
)

UPDATE: Stock and TWRP-prepatched images: https://bit.ly/nokia-nb18Maybe I'm just showing my age, but it seems that many users don't remember what it was like years ago when monthly security updates didn't exist and OS updates were a luxury and usually arrived months later (if at all) and still contained countless bugs and you NEVER got any communication from manufacturers except for "it will be ready soon".
Now everyone is getting worked up over the OS update being a few days late based on a suggestion from the company on social media that it would be ready in November. I mean it was on Twitter, it wasn't a signed contract.
Anyone who has actually developed software or built android ROMs will know that it can take time to fix bugs and get a release ready for users. The backlash they would get for releasing an update that wasn't near perfect would be so much worse than any backlash from delaying the release of the update.
So if they are taking the time to get it right, good. Likely they have learnt their lesson and in the future will be much more vague when communicating with users and will just say "it will be ready soon".5
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
