  • Nothing wrong with my battery, but I get restarts. However only ever when streaming radio, mainly with TuneIn but once after several hours on BBC iPlayer Radio. TA-1004

  • Hi,
    I am from Bangladesh. I have the same issue . But Here, Nokia care also said that i need to replace the battery ..They said they don't have battery.. why they don't have battery??? and they also said they will get battery in 3 days or 7 days..now 2 month is gone..why they are wasting my time ???...
    I will request Nokia to visit Bangladesh and take action for them
    Thank You

    Great number of failed components probably depleted their reserves. They don't have any spare components and they are certainly not making new ones. So much for a flagship Nokia phone. Buyer beware.

    <div class="QuoteText">I bought Nokia 8 in January 2018. After using it for one year, it randomly restarted 4-5 times in row. It will restart maybe once, or 10 times in a day. It is mostly restarting when I open camera app. Although this doesn't happen when I am charging the phone. It only happens when I am not charging the phone. There's also a sound issue where the sound freezes or is not audible when the volume is full. Again, it doesn't happen when I am charging the phone. I tried resetting the phone several times. Last week, I sent it to the shop. He first said that it's a battery issue and today he told me it's a motherboard issue and I need to replace the motherboard. My phone just lost warranty in January 2019. It will cost me 16k Rupees to fix my phone. I don't know if the shopkeeper is lying or not. Any help will be appreciated. Let me know if this issue is common in Nokia 8 and what should I do next. Thank you

    Solved by replacing battery in my case.

    Hello Karan,
    even i am facing the same problem since i got the updates in Feb 19.
    Just tell me if you got any software based solution for this.
    I just tried to downgrade the phone to Oreo but after oreo is getting installed still phone is searching the pie update and problem continues.

  • This is not the software issue. Buy the new battery and those issues will gone. Happened on me.
  • Same problem here... I lost faith in nokia... I will never buy nokia again.. this nokia 8 is filled with full bugs... I am using this from 2 years.. there is no single day as it has no problem... The worst experience... This hmd is fooling loyal customers... they are treating us as we brought a cheap phone..
  • After sale service is worst in nokia
  • Yes, mine too restarted it was 2 times the day I was playing games...
    But after that it doesn't happen again...
  • Same problem for me.
    Anybody got the solution??
  • Battery life less than 1 year Then why should we spent 25k to 30 k to buy this waste
    WTF???
    Worst than Chinese smartphones

    Find a battery replacement, if you cant find it on your local market, then buy it from ebay/alibaba, i found it for around $6, then ask profesional technician help to install it
    Your phone gonna work normal again
    I've endure this problem since feb/march till i replace the battery yesterday
  • Facing same problem since last 2 weeks, phone restarts randomly whenever I open games, camera, flashlight and any other intensive 
  • And also sound lags all lot, when playing music/YouTube/any kind of notifications... M just frustrated

  • And to my surprise, m not the only one. When I read all of urs comments... 
  • What's wrong with Nokia, really disappointed
  • Will rolling back to Oreo would fix this problem?

    If you updated to Pie 2 weeks ago, maybe. Otherwise, no.
  • @user1519486478347 What's wrong with "Nokia"? Sorry, it is only a name. Nobody would buy an "HMD Global".
    The "Nokia's" from "today" have nothing to do with the former original.
    The result you/ we can see, when you read the comments here. And, when you use the actual "Nokia's" with her "high quality cameras" and the different bugs.
    They roll out many new smartphones over the year, but they don't repair not on of the "old" smartphones.

    This is Nokia, a, sorry, HMD Global. 😡
  • Nokia is such a bad product, my sound skips, phone goes off anyhow, phone keep restarting. I think it's hardware problem , changing of battery won't do ****, the way out is to start saving for a new phone .
  • Disable phone camera app 
    Then try with other app

    :/ My phone is restarting by itself, the customer care in Nokia is absolutely of no help, just irritated over this Nokia 8 problem, lost trust on nokia phones
  • All the people having same battery issues exactly as the same time . Isn't that strange 😐
  • Nokia 8 processor, i.e. Snapdragon 835 lacks hardware AI engine. You just have to turn off Adaptive battery from settings. Doing so, will let internal P.S.U. to work, which is not only responsible to hand over heavy works to higher frequency subdies, but also controls liquid cooling mechanism.
  • My Nokia 8 has started to restart when I am using the phone......eve when I open camera..... This phone already restarted twice before I have written this command since the time I have started writing 😥

    <div class="QuoteText">I'm yet another user from India who can confirm all these problems in the last 3 months.
    1. Extremely slow charging
    2. Random freezes with a beep and reboot. Initially it was rare but now it gives up randomly, 5-10 times a day.
    3. Camera causes instant reboot.
    4. Very distracted audio of notifications. Alarm and message tones especially.
    5. Definitely reboots when trying antutu benchmark meaning any process intensive task is causing reboots. Whenever the processor needs high power, it reboots.
    6. Again, like other users mentioned. No issues when charger is plugged in.

    Guys even I'm out of warranty and this phone is unusable now.
    HMD has through bad updates broken our devices and we paid big amount for this so called 'flagship'. We should definitely start a petition and spread the word so that HMD fixes whatever this mess is.</div>
