Nokia 7 Plus No Software Update to 8.1

I've been using my Nokia 7 Plus for quite some time now, and it's been stuck on Oreo 8.0 and Security patch level : February 1. I haven't got any notifications for the already out Oreo 8.1 update. Does anyone else have the same issue? [wrong section, can a mod move this to Questions & Answers?]

Sorry, that didn't seem to work for me. Are there any other means people use to get the 8.1 OTA update?

Nokia support just said that the 8.1 update will be coming soon with a May 2018 security patch.

Something that seems to work for some people is to remove your sim card, disable the GPS, clear the cache and data of carrier services under the apps menu (you'll need to click on the three dots and show system apps first), clear the same for Google Services Framework, reboot, connect to the Belgium server using Psiphon Pro (a VPN app). Choose to tunnel whole device. You could also try other locations like Germany and Denmark in Psiphon Pro. Some people have found that if it doesn't work, a factory reset prior to connecting to the VPN has triggered the update, but that's pretty extreme. Let us know if it works, as I don't own the device and I'd be interested to hear if it's effective.

Sorry, but I didn't try the factory reset method but the rest of the steps didn't work for me on my phone.

I just skipped the update !!! in Spain TA-1046, downloading !!!

I've just got the update. Can a mod please close this thread?

I have been using this phone for a week now in India. Haven't recieved the update so far. I'm also bit tensed as I am unable to register my phone for Android P Beta program as well. It shows that my device is not eligible.

Just got the update, had to remove sim and reset the phone, ta 1062 received 8.1 Orso at boot.

I am on the 55 model, still stuck on February security patch and 8.0, not even a VPN has helped, no idea how to get this thing to find the 8.1 update.

I'm on the 1055 in Australia. Got the phone a week ago and when I was doing first setup it didn't let me continue until I did the 8.1 update. So mine showed up during setup.

I'm in the UK, bought the phone unlocked and using it with EE. Switching to an O2 SIM temporarily made the update appear literally immediately.

April security patch released in Spain for SM-A750FN

On April 27th, it was released the latest security patch in Spain. This firmware can be found in Sammobile.
This update (A750FNXXU1BSD6) is not the same as in Russia (A750FNPUU1BSD2). The changelog only says that it brings security improvements, and I haven't found anything new.

That's very complicated. You should try to install SmartSwitch app from Samsung. I havent had recieved any OTA too. But when I connect to the SmartSwitch you can easily update your phone if any update available. I got the second pie update today in SmartSwitch. If you use SmartSwitch and no update will be there, then you can go into the manual update. Im from Slovakia too BTW

It was updated last night, and the pie is terrible. Changing my device. Farewell friends ?

Please go to Settings--> About the phone (down)--> Info about software, then do the printscreen and upload the picture here.
Or give me the software version carrier (it´s something like SAOMC_SM-A750FN_???_???_...etc)
I will try to help you to find if any update is available for you.

I've attached the screenshot here. Thanks for the help.

It seems that there is no PIE for you. You probably have XME Malaysia version of firmware.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-A750GN/XME/ please see here your firmwares. If the update available, it will be here in the list.

[App] Googlefier Easiest Way to Install GMS or GApps

I read about Googlefier a week ago in an XDA article over here and was overwhelmed to see how easy the process has become to install GMS.
Guys who don't have Google Mobile Services yet and want to try their hands on after knowing how easy the process is now, can head to the thread in the below link and try themselves.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/googlefier-install-gms-huawei-honor-t4180485
Don't forget to report here if it worked for you or not so that other P40/P40 Pro users can benefit.

I had GMS installed on my phone since June until 3 days ago. Everything was working flawlessly until i changed password on Google. Hence changed password i had to login everywhere again. That's when nightmare began.
I had to redo my phone, so I made a backup via HiSuite(latest version) and then used HiSuiteProxy to downgrade, but it didn't work with last version. I installed older version of HiSuite on my PC(550 I think) and was be able to downgrade.
After downgrade I tried Googlefeier. At first it didn't work and I was a bit stressed because everything took a lot of time then I had in plan to invest into this process. I tried to restore back up but it didn't work. While restoring password prompted was not right. I fixed this by updating HiSuite. So remember, you can restore your back up made by HiSuite only with same version of program. You can't use different versions of HiSuite to make/restore backups.
Ok, back to Googlefeier: Read and remember carefully instructions said by program. Watch some video clips. After about 3 times with trying to install/deleting, i was finally able to do it. But keep in mind that I came to step 8 and stopped there because everything works now.
I send picture of how program should look like.
If you fail with it, delete everything through program and re-do.
Also one very big thing not mentioned by Googlefeier. Once chinese G application has been installed on your device, press home and launch the app. Click on only one option you can click, written on chinese and then switch to Googlefeier app, continue set up.
One more time, do not continue set up without launching chinese application. Run it as soon as you install it because Googlefeier wont do it for you.
Best of luck to everyone.

Typically French. Speak your language on an exclusively English forum.
If you can't open it. Downgrade.

Match entry okay Google works there

Hello, after uploading the google application (googlefier), do you have the option to update the system? Because, it keeps telling me that version 134 is up to date and not showing newer versions ... Thanks and regards

Hi there,
I just bought Huawei y8p keeping in view the Google fier app.
My emui version is 10.1.
When I try to install Google fier and after backup the G app doesn't work. It says it is not compatible with your device in Chinese. Or something like that.
Yesterday my phone updated but the G app wasn't working on the older version as well.
IDK from which emui it updated to which. But current version is 10.1.
I think I checked before and before it was also emui 10.1
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Try enter HiCare app (ou Support app, dont know that app name in english), chance your country to another, for example Portugal etc, then check "Quick Services", and tap on "Updates". In that way It will work. If it's not, change country... In onde time or another, It will work.

I wouldn't bother mate.. I bought this phone after seeing the dual space way of getting Google apps. Installed them all and worked fine even getting notifications, next day nothing worked.. Installed all again, logged in etc, again next day nothing worked...Seems I was actually lucky to get them installing as a lot of people just get spinning downloading from play store and never install. I'm now just trying to live life without Google and logging in online for all my banking / shares / pension stuff etc

26MB size.
Just installed it, so I can't say anything about it yet, the usual problems with this device usually start a few days later.

Google for Xiaomi Firmware Update, and check the website, all the links are there. It's not a scam or anything, it links to the original xiaomi servers. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/daisy/ bookmark this link.

It could be just my imagination, but it looks like i get massive battery drain after flashing the update. Also performance seems to be much worse.
I already restarted the phone, not sure what else I can do (factory reset is not an option).
Anybody experience this also and found a solution?

Does VoLTE works with the current updates (enabling/disabling)?
Background: I still have August 2019 (which works very stable), but our local carriers are stopping 3G service. It seems that entering *#*#-Codes doesnt have any effect, for example for enabling VoLTE. I know that in earlier versions there was a VoLTE option in the settings.

Does VoLTE works with the current updates (enabling/disabling)?
Yes and vowifi also.
