Certainly sounds messy: https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000023851/page/9?url_locale=

I would assume or hope it's just teething problems.

Double tap to wake always worked for me. The phone also feels a lot snappier now and less apps reloading when switching between them, also the battery is draining less.

Follow that and you should be good.

I'm still trying to understand this, do you have a developer build of 8.1? or you used that method to somehow update your phone?

No the developer update is for Android P the second file below is the official roll back method with 8.1 I never installed the P preview I just ADB pushed the roll back so I could get the 8.1 update.

I've managed to do it now took me a while, think I'm getting old lol, had an issue with the USB driver at first then I updated it selecting 'Intel Android Composite ADB Interface' and that seemed to work, now running on 8.1, also downloading a new update it found straight away, updating this way won't effect future updates will it?

edit -

Also you can clear all your apps from memory by scrolling to the top and then 'CLEAR ALL' appears, it appears a few people reviewing the phone online didn't know this.

Just been reading on XDA and it seems people using EE aren't getting updates, but switching SIM to O2 it will work, hopefully now we have updated it will just work.

Ixon · 21 May 2018 at 08:00

Looks like some carrier fault or bug with EE.

Got fed up waiting for the 8.1 updated so sideloaded it then i was still stuck on the April patch, so replaced my EE sim with a Giffgaff one & the 2.22A May update appeared.
Hope this get sorted can't be bothered keep swapping sims every time there an update.

LostPhil · 24 May 2018 at 22:20

Well, if it's any consolation; those with the Nokia 6.1 on EE/BT aren't getting updates either!

Stevio · 25 May 2018 at 10:23

Nokia are pushing out the 8.1 update OTA now - mine's in the middle of updating.

The update info says it has the April security patch built in

Edit: It's downloading a second patch now. First was 8.1 V2.13B (I think) now it's getting V2.22A

Edit2: The second patch had the May security patch in it

One annoying thing is that the updates reset some settings - for example ringtones on both sims in mine have gone back to default nokia tune.

Hi.
Looking at getting one of these handsets to mess around with.
How close to stock Android is it out of the box?
Also, keen to try the Android P beta which is apparently OK for the 7 Plus.
Has anyone in the UK installed it ye?

Timber · 31 May 2018 at 09:11

It is stock Android, as these are Android One phones. The only thing they have changed is the camera software/app is my understanding.

Squid Vicious · 4 Jun 2018 at 14:02

Was getting a little concerned with the delay on the OTA 8.1 update but came through this weekend (I'd had my wifi switched off for about a week so not sure exactly when it became available).

My faith has been restored

Does this have a pro camera app. Have a Nokia 8 but the stock app is awful and wondering if the 7 plus would be better?

It has the same camera app I believe with the Pro mode built in, I find it easy to use, I do also have the Pixel3 camera app installed for photosphere mode.

Ah, its the pro mode I think I need. The stock one on the N8 just isnt good enough - cant adjust exposure for example.

Nokia say the pro mode is now available for the N8 there is a update rolling out.

If so that's just saved me £349! Thanks!

No problem, keep checking updates, people have shared pictures on twitter of the update notes from their phone.
