Does anyone knows how to root this device safely without computer and unlocking bootloader directly on this device with apk?

Do we have any bootloader unlock methods for this tank. The one in developer mode is off mode and couldn't be turned on.

The "Tap to wake" feature in Nokia 6.1 (and some other phones) causes huge battery drain on idle. Disable it in Display - Advanced.

AnonD-785804, 17 Feb 2021No Boss. It's the processor which is not able to manag... moreI digress to your opinions.
Reasons:
1) The SD630 is built on 14nm process, the same as SD632, SD636 & SD660. They are all built with similar transistor architecture and SD630 is the most power efficient of the lot. On the contrary SD660 is the most power hungry yielding max performance. So to me SD630 is not the culprit. SD665 is built on more power efficient 11nm process, but that alone does not mean it will consume less power than SD630. It has way more transistors than SD630 for better performance and as such overall TDP will be higher.
2) Charging speeds have nothing to do with battery backup. However high charging speeds will produce more heat and reduce battery longevity. So battery capacity and discharge rate remains identical no matter what charging speeds are used 1 watt or 100 watts.

In the end the main culprit is subpar software optimization on the phone. I have an Alctael 5V fron 2018. It came with just 3GB RAM and slower Mediatek P22 SoC. Amazingly it is more fluid in operation than my Nokia 6.1 with 4GB RAM. The Nokia wins in every department over Alcatel, be it raw performance, looks, built quality but where it looses is software optimization and efficient hardware usage. The result is high battery drain and occasional stutterers during navigation, mainly effecting the 3GB model of Nokia 6.1.
The 4 GB RAM variant of Nokia 6.1 is till smooth in operation on Android 10. And I did perform hard factory reset after Android 10 update which removed a lot of previous junk from phone cache thus making it faster. Saying all that I love my Nokia 6.1, it is a gold mine to me as smartphones will never be made with this level of bullet proof built quality any more.

RishiGuru, 14 Feb 2021Stock Android is all bare-bones and more like bland vanilla... moreNo Boss. It's the processor which is not able to manage battery consumption. Plus the 18W charger which is supplied. Most of fast charge phones don't have good backup but charges fast instead. In practical if charged fast the discharge tends to be fast. So only 5W charger based phones with same capacity runs for some more time. Also processor is a culprit. Sd630 has subpar battery mangement. SD665 has good battery management but smoothness if nothing great than 630.

Whatever, 12 Feb 2021Nobody seems to mention the absolutely horrible RAM managem... moreStock Android is all bare-bones and more like bland vanilla flavor. I can live with it but I don't like it. Moreover Nokia seems to be more interested about Android updates and its security patches without giving any importance to software optimization.
Keeping all these in mind I bought the 4GB RAM variant of Nokia 6.1 @ $100 brand new. It can run 4 apps simultaneously without killing any of those. Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 6.1 are two of the best ever phones produced under HMD banner. I have both. It is a pity such great hardware and built quality are somewhat going down the drain due to unoptimized software.

Nobody seems to mention the absolutely horrible RAM management. 3GB of RAM and yet you can't keep two apps running at the same time,they load again when you switch. Hell, i can't even keep two browser tabs open. The phone is set to kill processes aggressively, making the big amount of RAM completely useless.
I've been using this phone for two years and each update since Oreo broke it even more. I had to endure horrible battery drain when idle, random app crashes and many more for one year. Android 10 fixed some things, but the phone's RAM management and overall speed were never the same. Specs are good, software is a piece of trash. "Pure" android my butt, with loads of stupid things added to it.

Maybe it is a problem with my own phone's hardware, but the volume and power buttons keep breaking. Battery also drains really fast. I had to get battery changed as well as buttons repaired not 6 months ago, yet it is giving problems again. Camera quality is fine for me since I'm no professional. But buttons are giving an unacceptable amount of problems with no warning (they stopped working suddenly).

For 3 years we been buddies at work and at play.
Never let me down. I use this phone in my inspection jobs and the camera helped me get credible reports. Charger is really fast.

I regret I didnt search all reviews abt this phone. Its terribile. I have it by 3 weeks, even the old phones I kept works better(nokia 113 and huawei 560).Its stuck (i have to reset) ,black screen(i escape with reset)sound is awfull during calls(hear crackers), radio is not working at all (all frequences sound fffssffss -with headseat or loudspeaker-same noise), camera has no autofocus (i have to step back and move hands to find the focus,pics with biggest resolutin has no cristal shape.I have to take with me old phones ,just in case the Nokia let me down.Very weird is I recharge same:every day i complete the battery (not full empty) all 3 phones. This nokia has 3000 mah but is not any difference . Very disappointed,not more Nokiia . I have version TA-1043 with Zeiss camera (pff).On one pic i saw some white waves and i am sure was not from sun or some reflection outside, i guess this phone can not handle some angles for pics,. I contact nokiaservice in email and i got 2 advices: nr1 send back,nr 2:reset factory.I did but during reset factory was stuck;I give up; reset and try again and now i got the message 'cant reset to factory'.Very very dissapointed.Updates was all in short time:to android 10 and few (3 or 4) for fix ; the last was with dated dec 2020.Is not working better, .My old phone keep the battery exactly like in first day, good pics , rarely some lag but is not bothering knowing is old but it save me .No more Nokia.
