    For those coming here in the future:

    - Turn off wifi immediately on boot, or go into safe mode and do it there

    - Turn off the setting Settings > Network & internet > wifi > turn on wifi automatically (which is an insane one to begin with)

    - Turn off all app permissions involving wifi

    This will allow your phone to work on 4G internet until these retards make a fix.

    Nokia support is a bunch of useless cunts. Suggest either sending the phone to their support centre, which is more expensive than the phone was at launch, to factory reset (does nothing since the update's still installed) or wait a month or more for an update fixing this.

    Android support on twitter doesn't even deign to respond.

    Ran into this myself yesterday. Seems like this is just all G20s being affected. Posting here so that people who haven't done the update yet can avoid it.
