AnonD-842232, 05 Mar 2019I agree. No issue since Pie is installed for me.Do you mean that the compass function is working on your Nokia 8? On many phones, North and South are reversed.

I basically love my Nokia 8, but my goodness, HMD Global have really made a mess of the excellent hardware. The firmware/softwate is NOT up to scratch. Android 9 Pie has totally messed up the compass, with North and South reversed, but not East and West.
The stock camera has various issues, including 3 seconds to focus / adjust exposure of your shot before the camera reverts to default. Video sound has clicks, unless you record a couple of test videos before filming what you want.
Filming in 4K produces good video with full field of view - it uses Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). BUT if you film in 720p or 1080p, the app uses Electronic IS (EIS), which vastly reduces the field of view (the proportion of what YOU see and what the CAMERA records. THE PHONE ITSELF, however, can use use OIS in all three resolutions. This is obvious when using Filmic Pro, an excellent 3rd party app. The Nokia 8 fulfills all the requirements of the latest Android version this app, which is used by professionals.
NOKIA 8 = SUPERB KIT, AMATEUR FIRM- & SOFTWARE.

Anonymous, 23 Feb 2019Which version of GCAM is best for the Nokia 8. I downloaded... moreHi. I am using one recommended by a German guy on the Nokia 8 discussion site. “https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_N7P_ test2.3.apk”. It works well, makes smaller jpeg files than the stock 8 app. The video function does not support the Nokia OZO spatial sound supported ONLY by the stock camera app. You can test the two apps in succession to find which you think is best. The jpg files get saved in the same places in memory, but where the Nokia 8 stock app 13 MP jpegs are 4160 x 3120 pixels, those taken by the Gcam app are 4158 x 3118 pixels (you can see this by swiping the photo upwards in the Photo app to reveal the megadata.
Happy travels

Therefore this app should enable you to send your phone to the nearest repair center. It worked for me very well (my microphone was malfunctioning).

I bought my Nokia 8 Dual SIM March 2018. Less than a year later the number of issues keeps on increasing. Nokia support is dismal and the people behind the chat sessions have no clue about the phone. After every firmware upgrade a new problem arises. First I lost the ability to change the preferred SIM for Calls and now with the android 9 upgrade issue is solved. Last week I was having a TC on my phone and the speaker died so currently my phone does not ring and obviously speaker does not work. Android 9 upgrade resulted in a new interesting problem, I no longer receive SMS messages on one of my SIMs, when I insert the SIM in a different phone all works perfectly. When roaming my Nokia 8 keeps on rebooting itself randomly. Unfortunately I am obliged to retire my Nokia 8 and this will be the last time I buy a Nokia phone.

Anonymous, 02 Mar 2019Where I can find the compass in Nokia 8 ?You have to install a 3rd party app from the Google Play Store. I tried using a couple of apps, the sensor isn't working as it should be, my device shows West as East. But do not worry Google maps works just fine...

drageti, 24 Feb 2019ay did reset on factory delite but camera is still in chaos... moreI actually think that is a very presonal opinion. Yes sometimes having the system.up to date,can be a bugger. When developers do not update their apps. Some apps my crash, some may not open. This has nothing to do with Nokia. The good and the bad in having the latest updates. Anyhow, i have encounter only one or two apps that were conpletly unsuable on PIe. So what apps do you use? Actually.... As for the camera, is not the greatest, Nokia had better days, but it ain't the worst, not by a mile.

drageti, 24 Feb 2019ay did reset on factory delite but camera is still in chaos... moreI'm sorry to hear that. I've been using my Nokia 8 for about a year now and I haven't encountered any problems. Maybe your device is a faulty one. Go to Nokia Care and then they might be able to resolve the issue or replace the device if you're under warranty.
