Android 11 on Nokia 7.2

ozgurkinaci · March 27

Hi,

I'm not happy with lack of updates, either.

However, I can manually download and install Google Play system update from APK mirror. Use latest R (Android 11) version.

This app only changes the date of Google Play system update, it doesn't install the actual update. There's a thread about it on xda. The app is obsolete, it doesn't update anything.

Leaving nokia soon.

Switching to Moto Edge 20 Pro.

Any thoughts?

It was the XDA forum. I know I took the risk, that It wouldn't work and that the android version there won't be "clean", but everything seems to be OK.

Here is the other one https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-nokia-7-2-from-android-11-to-10-via-fastboot-commands/ which looks like quite professional, but also much more complicated.

I don't understand why HMD, and why not all the other similar companies, wouldn't share the older versions, because there might be a lot of reasons why people would like to go back to previous versions.

You think HMD is bad with updates? They don't hold a candle to how bad Lenovorola is.

Is Lenovo/Motorola (or any other brand) leaving their customers without working camera for 2 months?

I wish I still had A10

iskanje · April 7

Oh wow, A11 arrived today on my 7.2 in Finland.

Hope to hear some real life user stories before I jump into this upgrade, I don't want to go through the downgrade hassle again :D

Hoping that the update won't happen automagically...

I don't know, after waiting almost 2 years for the Oreo update for my Motorola G4 Plus with little to no security updates in between, plus another bad experience with a Moto e 2015, I decided to buy a Nokia and never look back.

Then the history repeated itself sadly.

Zimmermann · April 7

Yaay so far so good with the new update, arrived as well to Sweden this afternoon and fixed front camera 😊 Seems like it didn't break anything either but haven't really used much my phone yet. Any issues anyone after latest update?

Zimmermann · April 7

Oh maybe just one small thing, I had to set screen timeout manually again, otherwise it just kept the screen on all the time.

Nokia user06 · April 7

I received the update from Italy. Before updating it I would like to know if you have updated your Nokia 7.2 and noticed any bugs. Thanks

radioactiveman69 · April 7

For now there are no new bugs compared to A11/February.

For me the known bugs are not solved. Still no working NFC....But to be honest, I'm not even surprised.

It's up to you to test the new and fresh maybe or maybe not working version.

I'm tired to contact the support again and again, doing all the steps again and again, do the factory reset again and again. We are on A11 with 02/22 Security Patch level. Let's expect one more patch in July, patch level 04/22. After that, we're not going to hear anything more for that device. Fire&Forget

Mluostar · April 8

Hmm... It really seems that there is an A11 update (V3.690) available with security patch 2022-02. I don't dare to do the update until I hear some experiences from other users. As I told, I did rollback my phone back to A10 and I really wouldn't like to do it again. Anyone tested this update? My phone model is TA-1196 and in first A11 round I lost my front camera, did have some charging and screen issues.

How this happened 😳

Zimmermann · April 9

I installed update and used it for a while. And at first it seemed smoothed out, fixed front camera, smoother recent apps, nfc payments worked, WiFi 5ghz connection stable... until last evening. Camera still works fine but the rest, man, I feel like in old good days when I was flashing nighties and betas to my old phones. Only this is third official "stable" release. Recent apps begin to stutter again, nfc payments stopped working and WiFi 5Ghz can't be used again. I'm really curious what kind of imbeciles are developing software for HMD. This is below all lowest standards.

Anyone having any issues?
