Nokia released a 4th Android beta, this time named Pie, as per it's official name.
This time though it has an ota option, working like a dream so far on my 7+

Yggr was saying on the previous page that, they can't use Pay app anymore!
Do you use that one yourself?

No worries, you're better off that it doesn't affect you!
Just wondering if others on the final Beta are having the same problem with that app!

I might move over to the Beta myself at the weekend.
It seems to be more or less there from all accounts!

It looks like the device is no longer certified once you install the beta.

If you go into store/settings look under "Play Protect Certified", for me it now shows as not certified.

Yeah, I used to get it before when I'd root devices, but not install Magisk.
One telltale sign, apart from Pay not working, is that Netflix isn't available in the store. And if you had it installed, it's gone from the device.

I just didn't think they'd that a beta would be uncertified.
Well hopefully the full release is around the corner, and you can get back to using Pay

Wife dropped phone and cracked the screen.
It's still working.
Anyone find a cheapish place for screen replacement?

Be careful with that one. There is a Nokia 7 and a Nokia 7 Plus. It says it's for the Nokia 7 so may not work with the Plus (assuming they are different of course).

GBX

Ah right. Didnt know.

I got an update for the camera today and it does seem to have improved an awful lot.
Less blown out images from what I can see and feels a lot quicker to take a snap.

An android central article from last weeks states that we will get the full release of android 9.0 pie during September.

https://www.androidcentral.com/nokia-7-plus-will-receive-android-90-pie-stable-update-september

And while we could have guessed that ourselves, it's nice to have a rough date, even though it may be next week or 4 weeks away

Beware of this which HMD are failing to address https://youtu.be/czCyeaiVXPw

Touch wood my phone hasn't had that issue yet. The usb connection is solid.

For those who don't want to click and watch youtube to understand what is referred to.

The person there says that the USB port is of poor quality and disconnects or does not allow charging when the cable/phone is moved slightly around.

marcbrophy

While I don't have the issue of the the 7+ Jim, I think it may be an issue with usb-c as a connector type in general.
I had connection issues on my OP5 and less so on my OP3, but they were there.

Keep harassing them on Twitter, most companies give in after a few tweets and help out

Best of luck.

Seriously thinking of buying one or the p20 really like the look of the Nokia.

I had this issue with the galaxy a5 2017 before, I thought the issue was that the port was loose but in fact there were things like crumbs had got into the port. Using a pin/needle to clear around the port helped sort this issue out.

Anyone bought one from Three and checked to see if it's unlocked? They have them for €299.99 so €20 cheaper than Vodafone.

Hey,
wondering if anyone here is having difficulty with GPS sports tracking Apps (Strava in particular) on their 7? A quick google brought up a lot of hits but I couldn’t see any offering an actual solution (Strava intermittently works, more often app self closes down during the activity) I have contacted the Nokia support and they claim it’s an issue on Strava’s end “Strava needs to calibrate their app to the Nokia device”. Anybody out there know any more on the issue?
Cheers

Vodafones come unlocked anyway so for the extra 20 euro it's worth it in the safety you know it will work with your sim. Unless someone can confirm Threes' model comes unlocked.

I haven't noticed the issue with me but it's only a few weeks old. I got it from Amazon though, so if it encounters a problem I'll be sending it to them instead of Hungary.

Another Android Pie beta update started rolling out today, with September's security patch!

GBX

Fingers crossed wont be waiting too much longer for the OTA update.

The new update wipes the phone but Netflix works, which is nice

I missed the memo about the phone resetting when updating. Annoying hour of logging back into everything although I did manually add Lawnchair V2 launcher which is a nice update.

Did you do an OTA upgrade or did you flash your device?

I did OTA and I'm still getting that I can not use google pay for payment in shops as my device has been altered.

Why would Netflix not work on this phone??

It could be an issue with DRM, Google’s Widevine Digital Rights Management protocol.

A good few Chinese branded phones have issues with streaming or playing HD video content because they're not compliant or configured properly to work with the DRM software.

I seem to still be on the July security patch..

Netflix works fine.

There are some incidents where when you use the Android Beta Ota upgrade the device looses it's google play protect certification and hence Netflix or Google pay don't work.

No., Just the original OTA update to 8.1 I think it was...

Yes but you are not on the beta as per your post above, so it will work.

Issue are only for some on the beta as the device looses the play protect certification if you do an. OTA to the beta.

Netflix works for me.
I am on the Beta, which was an OTA install.
Previous Betas could not be installed OTA, but recent versions could.
Still not the official stable release yet.
And doesn't explain why some are having Netflix issues and others aren't.

Also does your google pay work?

Nokia once were kings of all there was and they had their day, but their time is done. This is merely a Chinese company that have bough the right to use the one great name, selling inferior junk

What an ignominious end for this brand.

This junk is not Nokia

For Phones the name Nokia is licensed to former Nokia Employees who founded HMD Global for that purpose.

HMD Global OY is a finish company (located in the same building as what remains of Nokia in Espoo).

I don't know what gives you the impression that it's a Chinese company that got the rights, that is wrong.

Maybe you should look at http://www.hmdglobal.com/about/ !

For those on beta with netflix problems, looks like this can help:

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688?ba=SwiftypeResultClick&q=Netflix%20says%20%27Device%20failure%20occurred.%20(501.-117)%27

Seams the current netflix app version requires specific DRM components and google play certification to facilitate the download part, the version in that link does not.

Yes a Chinese company who had paid for the right to use the Nokia name thanks
