Update process was fairly smooth and seems to have worked, at least the phone is up and running

 

The Install took about 5 minutes and so far so good. VO-Wifi seems to work, at least I was able to send a txt message with it enabled.

 

I had to restart MS launcher but so far so good

 

 

 

 

A month on how are you finding Android 11?

 

Still no sign of an update for my Nokia 7.2 on Skinny

 

 

 

 

No Androis 11 issues what so ever. There was a UI issue with Androind 11, but a quick google soplved that.

Interesting, as I'm on Skinny too.

I hope it works, as the slider to toggle VoLTE in the settings screen is disabled! [It's on, just can't be turned off]

Spark 7.2 purchased. Has not been on the network for several months. Got the update on Wifi after topic was bumped this morning. Looks like it's the Feb release. Anyone happen to know if there's a later one in the pipeline? ; ).

Anyway now I'll be able to hand this on with an up to date OS. Very happy although it's been a long wait to do this..

Which screen as I can't find the option on my phone - if it is  “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” this is disabled on my phone

That's the one.

Weird.

On the flip side, the phone is now REALLY SLOW when sending an SMS, sigh.

Hi @gajan; wondering if you're in a position to offer an opinion on why two Nokia 7.2 with the recent Android 11 update would vary like this? [Mine with VoLTE enabled; @openmedia's with it disabled].

I also think it's weird the setting itself is disabled 'on' in my case

And the SMS taking 1 minute to send is definitely a pain - I'd choose to have no VoLTE and faster SMS sending if that was an option; but given I can't turn VoLTE support off...

Thanks in advance for any advice!

um, does VoLTE actually work during a voice call?

Indicator on in status bar and I can hear and respond when people ring, so yes, I'm assuming it does.

That sounds hopeful. Does it work if 3G is disabled?

Have you tried a reset network settings ? If that doesn’t work what exact version / build has it upgraded too? I’ll need to check with others next week…
