FAQs

 

Smart Lock does not work/ disappeared after the last update. How do I get it back? 

Go to Settings > Security & location > Trust agents; disable Smart Lock and restart your phone. After the restart enable Smart Lock again and your Smart Lock should be up running again.

 

Why are there no specific Nokia built in apps? 

Nokia 1 is part of our ‘pure, secure and up-to-date’ pledge. This means providing a ‘pure Android’ experience, without any pre-installed apps or skins. Our consumers can pick exactly what applications they want on their phones.

 

When do I get the new Security Patch?

Google’s Security Patches are released monthly and depending on the hardware in your phone. As these releases have specific hardware dependencies, we will need to ensure your phone is fully supported before we can test and release those to the operator. Once the quality has been assured, the Security Patch will be delivered to your phone. Due to this, the Security Patches are dependent upon your device model, operator and also your location.

 

What is Android (Go Edition)? 

Android (Go edition) is a version of Android built for devices with 1GB RAM or less. With apps designed to run faster and use less data, Nokia phones with Android (Go edition) will come with even more space out of the box, and faster, optimised apps.

 

I still haven’t received an update, even though it was announced. What can I do? 

Software rollouts are a phased process so the timing of Android upgrades will vary by country and operator. In case you haven’t received your update yet, get in touch with our support team to learn more about it.

A few questions for the FAQ:
1. How do we disable the startup sound? Nokia ringing in an office cubicle is embarrassing! I leave my phone on silent for a reason. Please post a fix/work around ASAP.
2. How do we remove the Google Go widget from the Home screen? I don't need it, I would rather have my music control widget or weather widget there in its place. Having a Pure Android and customizable experience would be appreciated please.
3. How do we migrate SD cards when we want to upgrade its capacity and not destroy apps/data in the process?
4. Please post that Q2 2019 will be rollout of Android 9 Pie for the Nokia 1.

Upgraded to Android Pie recently, now I'm having issues with my lock pattern. My phone seems to forget my unlock pattern from time to time, it's very random and I don't know what causes it. When I try to unlock my phone with the correct pattern it claims the pattern is incorrect until I block it. When I restart my phone the pattern works again as if nothing went wrong.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, and how did you resolve it?

user1542056347283
