Does Lineage OS 16 runs on Nokia 6.1?

I am looking to find if the Nokia 6.1 is able to run Lineage OS 16. I didnt find a Nokia section in the [official list of supported device](https://download.lineageos.org/) . I looked online and find this list from [thedroidguru](https://thedroidguru.com/lineageos-16supported-devices-and-release-date/) (same list on [alldroidtips](https://alldroidtips.com/lineage-os-16/#List_Of_NokiaDevices_Getting_Lineage_OS_16)) : > List Of Nokia Devices Getting Lineage OS 16 > > Nokia, or HMD Global, has already maintained a nice record when it > comes to providing Android updates. Though these devices did not > receive any support from LineageOS 15, it is expected that LineageOS > 16 would support the Nokia 8, Nokia 6 2017, Nokia 1, Nokia 2, Nokia 3, > Nokia 5. As far as I know, the Nokia 6.1 is the name of the Nokia 6 2018. Is this list accurate? If the Nokia 6 2017 can run the rom, the 6.1 should be able to do so, shouldn't it? So, Does Lineage OS 16 runs on Nokia 6.1?

How to turn off Nokia theme tune on startup?

My Nokia 6 always made the Nokia theme tune when it was turned on from being completely off. However, for a short period, I had another user account on my phone and it didn't make the noise every time, but there were still a few instances where it did. **I've Tried** * Putting my phone in Do Not Disturb * Using the Complete Silence DND option * Having my phone on silent * Aeroplane Mode * Having my phone on charge and off charge makes no difference * Looking for a setting that turns it off(suggested in a previous anwser) All of these were done before I turned the phone completely off. I've done some research on Nokia forums and other sites and most answers suggest one of the following above but none of the above have worked. Now I have removed the other user and I am running the single user account with no guest user. It is making the noise more, but not every time as before I would say that it's roughly 40% of the time it makes the noise now. Is the fact that I created the other user account linked to the noise stops, its the only thing I changed on my phone which is why I'm making that assumption. Is there any way to stop the noise compleat as it can be annoying(and embarrassing) when turning my phone on in public? I'm running Android 8.1.0

If yes, how can I stop and exit this test mode? Do I need to factory reset?

I got a Nokia 6.1 for my son in an effort to get him out of the Apple world. One of the big advantages for him was the ability to store Netflix videos and large games in his SD card enabling him to expand storage when necessary. However, Nokia 6.1 does not have the option to format the Micro SD card as internal storage. What other options do I have to move the apps for him? I don't want to shell out money again for a new phone.

I have a Nokia 6 with Android 8.1.0 and a Bose QC35 II headset. It has recently started disconnecting frequently, from approximately every 10 seconds to every two minutes or so, seemingly getting more frequent over time. The batteries are both near full, and the headset is the only Bluetooth device paired with my phone. So far I have tried - restarting both devices, - removing the pairing and re-pairing, - toggling Bluetooth off and on again. - clearing the Bluetooth app cache and storage and - resetting all network settings in Settings - System - Reset options. While typing this the device has reconnected at least five times. I was not transferring files or audio at the time. It happens in public and at home, where there are only two other Bluetooth-capable devices. The sound is often choppy when it does work, so it's as if the signal is terrible even though the devices are less than a meter from each other. When connected to my PC the sound is fine and the connection is stable for hours. Edit: This no longer happens with Android, but I think it has something to do with the connection type. There is only one connection type which gives even close to reasonable sound quality, the other one crackles and spits and emits irregular "call from: [nothing]" garbage.

Previously I've had my phone (Nokia 6.1 plus running android pie) set to use the "None" lock screen option but after doing a factory reset this option no longer appears. I'm only able to select the swipe, pin, password or pattern options. I find this extremely infuriating and am probably going to have to buy a new phone if I cant fix this. Any help would be appreciated. **Things I've already tried:** - Clearing the credentials. - Disabling all device admin apps. - Setting a password and then trying to find the option. - "hard" resetting the phone through the device recovery menu. - Removing my google account. I've searched high and low for a fix for this and nothing works. Thanks for your time!

Transferring from Samsung to vanilla Android
I am going from a Samsung Galaxy S7 to Nokia 6. The setup downloaded all of my apps, but none of my files, sms and settings. Of course, I wont get the things I got from Samsung, but there are games I have to start all over and other nuisances. How can I get at least almost everything back?
