Haven't seen this mentioned here. It's been confirmed on Twitter that the Nokia 8 will get ARCore support and face unlock.
No ETA yet, but it's really cool to see the continued support for Nokia OG flagship :good:
Next year this update will come or not.... They promise other things and nothing comes....

I don't really think they did. They did, however, promise to look into it at some unspecified time while making clear it's not a top priority: Twitter thread. It's probably even less of a priority for them now.
I'm not worried about ARCore and face unlock :cyclops:
lol, ARCore on this phone won't have any devs. You know why?
Because the majority of devs ditched this phone because of no official bootloader unlock.
Ironic, isn't it.

Isn't the point of it getting ARCore that it will be able to run standard ARCore apps? I can live without creepy Samsung cartoon emoji ?
Phone has been out for 10 months, receives regular updates on time so who cares about unlocked bootloader..? And if it's so important to you why did you even buy it without making sure it can be unlocked at first. Typical XDA whine...

Has also got me out of the continuous wipe, flash and setup routine. Liberating. Just hope Nokia at least decide to support development when they stop.

Firstly, How long do you thing you'll recieve regular updates? HMD almost have started abandoning their first flagship.
Secondly, when the phone was released, who knew that hmd will not be providing support for unlocking bootloader. Everyone bought it with a hope and love for Nokia brand
But the face unlock is already in the security settings. Just active the trust factor for Google Smart Lock and you've got the last option on Smart Lock list which is face unlock.

Disable SmartLock, restart the phone and enable it back again. It should do the work.

Anyone know if root kills Netflix hdr, hdr etc on the 7 Pro? This was the case on earlier OnePlus phones, but I have a Pixel 3XL rooted and keep hdr Netflix content with no issues.
Was never an issue on the OnePlus 6T, I don't see the 7 Pro having an issue either.
How was it not an issue? you root, you loose security L1 and move to L3

He probably doesn't know how to check to see his security level for Widevine. If he's rooted he's on security L3 not L1

It varies device to device. Pixels (and apparently your HTC) retain L1. A bunch of Chinese devices do too - Xiaomi, etc.
My pixel 3xl had the widevine keys deleted from vendor firmware_mnt after I unlocked.
So be careful, you might not get the keys back.
I will relock soon and see if it helps

You should Magisk hide Netflix. Apparently some people are able to retain L1 (it should be impossible with unlocked bootloaders.. Oneplus will lose l1 status upon unlock..) I'll see about trying to keep l1 on oneplus 7 pro.

Do elaborate. I don't think it's possible either but would love to see exactly why that is. Nothing is impossible in this world.
Unlocked bootloader = widevine L1, period.
You can download Netflix app that apparently circumvents this and still displays HD video, but not working here (plus it's old version without full screen anyway).
With the Huawei Mediapad M5 Pro, my tablet I still use, as Oneplus is not making awesome tablets , I used a Custom Rom from Openkirin.net and I was able to keep Widevine L1 and Netflix in HD.
Do any of you know of good Custom Roms that have Widevine L1 enabled? (it was at least their resurrection remix version for Kirin devices that kept Widevine L1)
Maybe some devs are reading along and have perceived a way to add it to a Rom and would think about adding it :-o

My p3xl permanently lost l1 after a bootloader unlock
Re-locking didn't change it.
Hi, i am very curious on the rooting scenario.. what happens if i unlock the bootloader and root my op7, wich features do i miss out on and does it do anything special? I want to use substratum, since i like to theme my phones ?
You will lose Widevine L1 which will means you cannot view DRM video in anything but 480p. (ie. Netflix will not play HD video)

Correct. It reads the security level as L3 and just downloads the content in 480p. I've tried this before and it was still just L3 and not L1

Is it permanently lost, or can you recover it by re-locking the bootloader?

On older Oneplus Phones it is recovered by re-locking it (read here for example), haven't read any statements for the OP7, though I would assume it's the same.

Lmao! Come on now this isn't like back in the day where you entered line by line in adb.. They could also just want to unlock the bootloader to convert their tmo OP to an international and don't really care about root.

A lot of banking apps won't work on rooted devices due to the security risk it poses to your accounts with those banks. I have also read that Pokémon Go also does not work on rotted devices. You will also lose Google Pay.

Isnt there some app like gearbox or something that can hide the detection in apps? I think i did this back in the day ?
Yes, you can just hide those apps using magisk hide in the magisk manager. It works with all banking apps, for me.

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.
