Can someone please help me solve my problem with Nokia 8. For about two weeks now the phone keeps on rebooting itself, I have done factory reset and still it keeps doing that. Is so annoying that it can reboot itself for about ten times in just five minutes. I seriously need help because I love this phone.

At first it might be very awesome and cool but after 5 months or so the phone will start to reboot when we take the camera app. Then it will start rebooting at 50 % then 80% then 90% and so on. I can now only use the phone when it is charging .
    If i stop charging it will keep on rebooting and the device becomes very hot sometimes.


    Very Bad device by Nokia . Please dont buy . Not worth the money .

          have been using this phone for over a year...still got google security update and performance still good. but recently I have been having the reboot issue when battery is down to 50% or when I use the camera apps, and also the sounds stutter at some apps. I will try to replace the battery and see how it goes since so far that is the only solution that I have read online.

            But well they kept their promise (except for the much awaited camera update) by giving Nokia 8 two major updates and monthly security patches up to three years which is still going on.

Now the issue is that I have voided my warranty by unlocking the bootloader, what are my options as someone said they have gotten the battery replaced. How much does it costs, I am 100% sure that its battery issue as when I plug in the charger then all goes fine.

Also, nokia 8 is not in the android one program like sirocco. And lagging? I do not know what to say about that, never lagged on me.

                  It not only lags in SIMPLE apps (AliExpress, eBay...), it turns off by itself sometimes (Google Assistant is off). Also, it makes me more angry that Nokia 8 will not have Android 10 update (I want to throw it in trash!), but 8 Sirocco will! Good thing that I'll upgrade to Samsung S10+ soon. Nokia, please, follow OnePlus example (OnePlus 3T update).

                    May I know how to increase the battery life on my nokia 8?

                        Anonymous, 28 Sep 20191 YEAR REVIEW: 1. Performance: It plays PUBG on Ultra... moreTip:

                        For better battery, I suggest:
                        (i) Turn on Battery saver mode.
                        (ii) Turn off Location, Hotspot, Bluetooth, Mobile Data when not in use.
                        (iii) Turn off useless services from Settings, like Auto Sync, Face Unlock and Scans (including WiFi scanning, Auto Update & Google Play Protect).
                        (iv) Review App Permissions and Notification Access of apps. Turn off the ones that needed.
                        (v) Try All-in-One Toolbox. You'll want to disable a few things in its settings, but Auto Boost at Screen on and Boot Speedup are useful.
                        (vi) Lower its Display Resolution using ADB.



                        It manages heating well, but just for your knowledge:
                        Turn off Hotspot, Location, Mobile Data, Bluetooth.
                        Don't play games while charging or just use a lower watt charger.
                        Lett your phone cool down after charging.

                          1 YEAR REVIEW:


                          1. Performance:
                          It plays PUBG on Ultra HD without lag. Ultra HD is unlocked by default, without GFX Tool.


                          2. Heating:
                          Heat management is very good. It only starts throttling if you play PUBG on Ultra HD for 3+ hours.

                          That's good because Pocofone F1 has liquid cooling technology and still heats up at HDR (lower graphics) after 3 hours of PUBG.


                          3. Quality:
                          It's very durable. In my 1 year use, I haven't faced a single problem. It has been dropped number of times but hasn't suffered any damage.


                          4. Camera:
                          It's excellent. If I must compare its camera quality, I'd compare it with minimum of iPhone 8 or 8 Plus - leagues better than iPhone 7 Plus.

                          But you must install Gcam because its default camera app is very poor. I found (P3v11_GoogleCamera_6.2.024.apk) to take best pictures.


                          5. Battery:
                          Its battery is good for a 3100 mAh battery phone. It can last till bedtime if you don't play battery demanding games for long.

                          In PUBG, it lasts 6+ hours if you do the following settings in GFX Tool. Otherwise, it lasts 4-5 hours.

                          Resolution: 960x540 (it's sharp) or 1024x576
                          Graphics: Smooth HD (So Smooth for best battery)
                          FPS: Your choice (30 for battery).
                          Anti-aliasing: Disable
                          Styles: Your choice.
                          Render Quality: Low
                          Texture Quality: Low
                          Effects Quality: Default
                          Improvement for Effects: Default
                          Objects LOD Distance: Medium
                          Foliage LOD Distance: Medium (Players aren't affected)
                          Color Format: 32-bit
                          Detail Mode: Low
                          Light Effects: Disable
                          GPU Optimisation: Enable
                          Sound Quality: Your choice.
                          Save Control: Enable

                          For Shadows:
                          Graphics: HD or Smooth HDR
                          Render Quality: High
                          Shadows: High or Ultra (Dark shadow)
                          Shadow Distance: High is enough.
                          Moving Shadows: Enable
                          Rest as above.

The performance is super snappy for sure. If you're looking for a solid reliable phone that will run any app you throw at it and a brilliant high resolution screen even in bright sun.

                                        Best phone. No problems whatsoever. Been using it for more than 3 weeks. Runs all games super smooth. I also have an iPhone 7 plus. But this one is pure pleasure. Absolutely gorgeous copper frame. Super cool display. No complaints. I prefer this phone over iPhone. Super versatility.
