  I think you are right, no matter what is said on here or via any other just media it just falls on deaf ears, the only way to get the message across is with your wallet.

  
  

  It is a shame really because my experience with the Nokia 8 has been very good overall, support up to Android 9 was really good but since the android 9 beta was released it seems to have all descended in to a massive shambles of silence and bugs.

  I have to disagree, we all knew Pie wasn't finished when we installed it and yet OP thinks the grass is greener on the One Plus side. I guarantee that it won't be, their devices will have issues as well.

  I don't think they should have released the beta as a stable mate, they should have said we're having problems please bare with us but they rushed it to try to please everyone.
  

  
  

  I am still hoping someday soon a wonderful version is going to be pushed and my Nokia 8 lasts a year or so more.

  If someone is unsatisfied with Nokia 8 and wants to buy another phone, he should do so. These discussions have no benefit for people. I would rather welcome solutions to problems.

  My brother is using oneplus 6. He installed pie in September and faced no major issue like in Nokia. Mainly because oneplus launches 2 phones in a year and nokia launches tons of it. You cant compare the support they provide to phones.

  Yet Samsung faced major issues when they released the Oreo update so no manufacturer is immune to issues, if you don't like Nokia devices then don't use them. Go buy a OnePlus device and be happy but there is a reason why Chinese infrastructure products are banned in some countries.

  I don't think you can given the reports from everyone, if it is pretty mild then blast it with a pixel fixer for a couple of hours, this does seem to alleviate it but the chances are the screen will need replacing under warranty.

  People knew that Pie was incomplete feature-wise, but the compass issue was not a generally known about failure, mountain range, if you like.
  Just enjoy this picture (taken yesterday by a friend near Zugspitze) until the next update comes with a fix. :-)

  I brought up the compass being wonky while only the beta was available and i reported the issue as did many others vis the feedback app but sadly HMD still forged ahead and released it as a stable release.
  

  
  

  Nice photo BTW

  Okay, I agree the Pie update isn't perfect. But this also happens to other companies. I am an Apple fan (I own a MacBook pro and an iPad - I have made websites for these products too). Every year there is a system update for iOS. But every system update has lots of minor and major updates too to correct bugs, implement new things etc. Have a look here for iOS 10 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_10): 11 updates, iOS 11 even had 15 updates ... Lots of people complain there too that Apple didn't listen to their complaints etc. 
  
  According to me my Nokia 8 - Android Pie is still a very good phone with a very good camera. But that being said I hope that the obvious bugs will be dealt with in future Pie updates. On forums like this one we should focus on three things:
  - report bugs (and workarounds) and hope that these bugs will be dealt with
  (the people who bought the Nokia 8 when it was first released have a completely new system and a completely different camera today thanks to forums, reviews ... and the update policy of Nokia!)
  - give tips and advice to get the best out of our phone.
  - show people who have real software and hardware problems what to do best.

  @ mrbelter Thanks, a friend sent me the photo, and when the bug in this forum system - which HMD obviously aren't in any rush to fix, either - asked for the 4th time which photo I wanted to upload, so...

  @jdan I too still think this is a great phone, and I frequently get terrific daylight shots, even though they don't all get tagged. Other phone makers certainly don’t do much for their users. I’ve had Samsungs since my Symbian Nokia E6 died and I never ever saw an upgrade.
  The Nokia 8 has a lot going for it, including video, if a decent app is used, unfortunately they don't come free. My workaround is to use FiLMiC Pro, with which the Nokia 8 performs very nicely indeed. Most of what it doesn't do with the stock app, it does just fine with FiLMiC, which I also use on an iPad. The audio isn't brilliant though, because only the stock video app can work with OZO. Sony's audio app, however, appears to use all three mics to make good solid mono audio. Filmic only uses one and often sounds tinny, particularly outdoors.
  In summary, let’s all report our legitimates woes to HMD Global and dream on. How nice it would be if HMD had got a team together and soon provided a fix - or rather a whole bunch of them.

  I keep reading about Chinese devices being banned in various countries. Shouldn't we, as HMD customers, be as worried as other Chinese brands customers, since HMD/Nokia devices are also made in China? What's to stop Foxconn from adding privacy violating hardware/software? Even under Finnish supervision of production (if that's even the case)...

  @marsic - exactly nothing, but the ramifications of Chinese industry will be devastating if this happens (and gets discovered) - almost all mobile phones are manufactured in China  from every brand. 
  
  The chips are sometimes produced elsewhere  and that make it more secure, as the chances of detection are huge if the "back-door" is implemented in software or separate silicone. Best chance of getting past control is to implement the back-door in the main chipset silicone - so as long as one use qualcom chips, one are fairly safe 😉

  You are saying battery itself having issue with your phone, then what other issues you are still expecting? Battery issues are major problems in every phone
