How about WiFi  settings and other account specifics? Did you restore those?</div>

I signed back in using my Google account and had to setup WiFi passwords manually.  As I reinstalled all the apps most of them logged back in automatically and the rest I logged back into and restored from the app specific backup.  I used SMS backup and restore for call history and sms backup.  Apart from no Google feed and Google Pay not working atm i'm happy, it appears to be a lot smoother and the dark theme is gorgeous.</div>

So you DIDN'T select restore from back up and then skipped all your apps</div>
</blockquote>
Exactly, DON'T restore from backup</div>

Okay thanks for the info!</div>

I have faced following on OTA beta : 
- once or twice per day phone will go totally black and hardboot only helps. 
- if I download pdf file example from web site it cannot open it even Acrobat installed. 
- calls are working fine as well as wifi

Are you using Chrome for download, If yes then use different browser cuz i tried downloading multiple file from chrome, it shows like download is complete but file is not present in down

For those who has issue with the call try updating the phone app from playstore after joining the beta program.. I installed the beta version of phone app and it works fine now 

I am already on beta version but problem still exists.

so, so far i don't seem to be having any issues with the mic not working. if anything, apart from my banking apps and the lack of Netflix, this build is quite stable.
any other issues just seem to be optimisation problems

The bug with the calling feature... Is everyone having the same issue??

No.Do not restore apps from PIE, do a clean install everything will work fine

Already installed the update and restored the apps... Will a factory reset solve the problem?? With clean installation of apps

Well I used it for an hour or so and I couldn't listen to the other person on the line. Like it's totally blank. I can only listen to them when it's in speaker mode or using an earphone.

Also, after rolling back I am getting the old June Security Patch (59E_SP02) but not the August update which was released a week back (I did update the device before installing Beta 5). So why can't I get the August Patch till now ??!?? Not even the July update.. like please respond to the issue in build 5 and also release the August Patch.


P.S. 
I can't even unregister from the developer portal even after rolling back to the public release!!!!


@matteo.m and @HMD_Laura please respond to this ASAP.

I used the OTA too but never had speaker problem! If you installed OTA one thing you shouldn't do is restore apps from PIE it renders everything unusable

So what do I do about my apps and their data ?? Start from scratch ?!.. Never had that problem in My Nokia 7 plus with android pie developer preview.. It was really really stable as the public build.. 


Also another thing.. does your phone get stuck sometimes showing nothing but a white screen.. I had to wait for almost an hour to make it restart..

In android Q they have implemented a lot of basic file system related changes and tightened  security measure "Which were not available in previous versions" so thats why its in compatible with previous versions. And yes to your second point it does restart with either  a black screen and i have to manually restart it or a white screen error which automatically reboots itself!

Will we get the Beta 6 version before the final update to Android 10?

Taking much time to release beta 6,already they have OTA functionality in beta 5 itself , don't know why yet to release for beta 6 . But google planned stable version release on September 3 

I think that HMD will stop the Android Developer Preview programme weeks before they release Android Q for the 8.1 - this is what happened with the 7+ last year.

I have the same issue.. hope this will be fix in coming update 

Mahesh Srinivasan said:
I upgraded to android q beta release 5 on  my 8.1 which became available OTA last week. Since the upgrade am facing 2 issues:

1. The person I call does not hear me well if I speak with the phone held to my ear. They can hear me fine when I put them on speaker

2. When my phone is locked or in my pocket for long, I am unable to unlock it as the display does not come back on when I press the power button. It seems the phone just switched off an I need to hardboot it using power and volume down buttons.

Anyone else facing this?

1. DO NOT restore from backup, start from scratch and this problem does not happen

2. Never experienced that one

Yeah bro. I am also facing the same issue.
Had to rollback to the public release.
Never faced these issues in Android P Developer Preview.

Just thinking about the same thing...

Manoj Shenoy said:

Guys anyone know the fix for hanging issue ? Day by day the phone hangs frequently.. today till now had to reboot the phone 8 times .. 

sameeee! what's the FIX ?

it's happening more and and more

Rvalusa said:

I also have the same microphone issue on call. Please someone help if you got any solution 

As I have said before, when you upgrade to Android 10 DO NOT restore from a backup.  Instead start afresh and install all apps from scratch.  Then the mic issue DOES NOT occur!

you all manually installed it, i can not take risk, i can wait for OTA update

It's a very easy process. Easy to install, though I can understand your fear.

Can Android be downloaded on Nokia 6.1?

JD1999 said:

Does anybody knows how to use screen mirroring (non-chromecast) In Android Q, cuz NPU shows its working in its device.

Same as that in pie
