Used audio through a Bluetooth device (car Bluetooth) and of works just fine. Informing because I had read online on some other forums about the audio coming out through Bluetooth connection is breaking or muffled. But, on my device it is absolutely fine.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Yeah. There have been reports on the Nokia forum about this.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vivek638:
I am having a colour issue. The upper part is bluish in colour but the navigation button part is little yellowish. I have also read on reddit people having these issues. So should i replace it or return the device. Its only 2 days in my hand
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Yeah. That's a hardware issue.

What is this thing about batteries being explosive and stuff that people are talking in the UK thread in Guides and discussion section...

Is that trolling or we need to take action on it?

I didn't see a single report of any Nokia 7 plus exploding. It's trolling.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
The display of my Nokia 7 plus sometimes flickers in some apps while typing. It's completely random and this happens while the phone is at low brightness.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vivek638:
Nokia is going to be trolled for it. As per of my experience
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
They are already getting trolled for their update process RN.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Optimisation issues perhaps. I can certainly say that over time using the phone the jitteryness is gone but I still hate how much swiping right for Google now lags. Hope they will fix it in the next update. This happens no matter which launcher yyou use. I've used lean launcher, pixel launcher and the default launcher 3 and lags are preswnt in all while swiping for Google now.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Yeah maybe software issues because everything else with the display is fine. No touch or ghosting problems. Just that when the brightness level is set low, the brightness doesn't remain constant over white pages. It increases and decreases like a cycle as I scroll on the page or sometimes type and the brightness changes with the taps on keyboard. It's completely random.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Xebeck:

.

So are you gonna ask for a refund?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Nope. It's not much big of an issue for me and I feel it's a software issue because there's nothing else wrong with the display. It has no yellow blue tint, no ghosting, no tinting, etc.

Just this minor niggle.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Any new phone may and can have software issues but these aren't a deal breaker especially when a company is promising regular updates. So, according to me, all the issues and bugs will eventually get fixed in the coming updates.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Has anyone of you encountered this?

This is popping while the phone is on charging and gets kinda hot and also while I'm using it when its charging.

Yeah. It always happens at 77 - 78%

Hey guys my phone just came in yesterday and everything is great except one thing. Even though vodafone has listed this phone as supported by Volte on its site, I am not getting Volte to work. I tried connecting with Vodafone and Nokia for this but both failed to address this issue. Vodafone guys told me that the phone is not supported for volte. Also i could not find any setting to switch volte on / off in the phone settings.

Can anybody help me here? TIA

Settings - Network & Internet - Mobile Network - Click Advanced for Sim1 which should be Vodafone in your case as this phone is not Dual VoLTE yet...

Then see pic attached here

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
I dont see the "Enhanced 4G" setting in those options! See attached screenshot. As per Nokia support, that is enabled by default.

That is the level of my expertise... Sorry
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Are both of your sims on 4G?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
Yes. Both networks are Vodafone 4G
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Then only one can work on volte at a time. The phone doesn't support dual volte simultaneously.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
It didnt work on single vodafone sim with VOLTE. The same sim showed VOLTE on Oneplus 3.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] mantazzo:
As far as I've heard on VoLTE for this phone, the dual VoLTE support should come with an update later.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Then, it's not turned on by Nokia on the 7 plus for Vodafone. A bug maybe or who knows. The current state of software is really buggy.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
I'm using my phone with Jio and 4G VOLTE works just fine. Are you able to make and receive calls? Also, many manufacturers provide volte for different service providers like (airtel, voda, idea etc) through software updates. Also, there is no VOLTE sign in this phone, it's just a 4G and besides it an LTE one with calling.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
My dad uses an Honor 6x and his phone got volte support first for Jio, then for Voda and then Airtel etc etc through the software updates. Also, my sis has a Op3t and the same case was with her phone. First Jio and then consequently other service providers.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
The sign just near the 4G signal with a phone symbol is the VOLTE service being active in you phone. For me that sign is not displayed. And during calls, the network drops to 3G or drops fully.

Battery & sd card issue

I got my phone yesterday & its running Android 8.1 with the April security patch. I have noticed 2 particular issues -

1) When I restart my phone, the memory card is not detected. Have to restart again and then it is detected.

2) I feel the batter is draining. Please have a look at the screenshots and let me know if the battery consumption is fine or its draining fast. The fourth screenshot shows the the battery dropped by 1% in 4 mins of the phone being idle with the display closed. Also the stock camera app is consuming a lot of battery
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vivek638:
Give ur phone sometime to adjust. As its new it will get better after 3 to 4 days. As of now the battery is not good but it will get better. Restart ur device a day atleast bcz many hiccups happening will be solved through that(as in my case).. Watch it again after 4 to 5 days it will definitely improve
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] hansel_mendonca:
Thanks Vivek... Will monitor the same.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
I think your battery is working just fine. See it depends upon the way you're using it. And like you have 2 hrs 50+ mins of SOT halfway through the battery ie some 50℅. This translates that you will easily get 6+ hours of screen on time. So no worries there. Plus, give your phone a weekor two, it'll get better.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] hansel_mendonca:
Thanks [MENTION=6686888]K.singh[/MENTION]

But what about the camera? It's the stock camera app and it's continuously running in the background consuming battery

Face lock is back in smart lock settings
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
I am not too sure about the stock camera app issue. I've attached some screenshots for reference but my stock camera battery usage seems to be 0% (optimal) and well I hadn't also used since the last charge. My SOT seems to be less but then if you see the standby time, it balances it out. I guess we'll just have to wait for an OTA update for all our problems to be resolved.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Well, here's a good news!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] hansel_mendonca:
Here are some screenshots of my battery life today. My brother suggested that I drain the battery fully to 0 and then full charge the device.

Swiping for Google Now page on the homescreen is still laggy. Rest everything works fine. I'm satisfied with the performance. Also for me, gBoard swipe typing doesn't work like it's not good at all so I use chrooma keyboard. No other issues.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] timurdis:
Hello,

I have been using this phone since a week now, received update for 8.1.0 & May 18 security patch yesterday. Here are the issues have faced so far-

1. With 4G LTE data on & using camera simultaneously, phone heats up quickly under normal room temp.

2. (very frequently but not always) When wallpaper is changed, swiping left for Google app does not work. To fix this, either have to restart phone or in Home setting disable & re-enable option for Google app for swipe left. I am not sure if new update has fixed this since it's been not even day I received it, but I'll check later.

3. These apps are giving disastrous performances-

a) Amazon Prime Music : not sure about online but offline downloaded songs while being played stop abruptly & then resume play . It also once stopped responding & took long time to respond again & btw this happened after new update.

b) EA sports real racing: This stopped responding only once.

c) Paytm: freezes sometimes

d) ICICI Bank app (iMobile): always take ridiculous amount for login in

4. During my first ever use, all of a sudden alarm ringtone automatically started ringing on my phone, I could sworn there was no alarm set at that time. I was scared & I had to restart to stop the ringing. I still do not understand how this happened.

5. Sound quality from audio jack is abysmal. Even after crossing 70-80 volume mark it's still relatively low (mostly for old files), I even tried Sennheiser headphones but not much difference.

6. Screen goes off (though double tap works; no need to unlock) much before the set screen time out! Is this normal?

7. When screen goes off & if app with fingerprint lock (using Applock app) is open, first fingerprint scan works to unlock phone but next immediate scan doesn't work to unlock the app. I had to lock & unlock the phone again to make it work. This happened seldom but multiple times.

Has anyone faced any of these issues as well or is my device defective (which I doubt since it works normal mostly)? If anyone knows any fixes for these issues? Please let me know, many thanks in advance.

So far this phone is sheer disappointment for me. I never expected that this phone would perform this poor. The only pros I can say are good rear camera, good battery life & (hopefully) timely updates.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] hansel_mendonca:
Here is my battery use after consuming one full charge
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Lag and stutter while swiping for Google has to maybe do something on the Google side. There have been reports about it being laggy even in pixel devices I guess.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Mine doesn't warm up much.

Also, can't say anything about Google swipe from left cause I dont use it.

No app freezing issue till now. Many app issues can also be because they haven't been updated to API levels for 8.1

Sound quality is great through earphones for me. There's an equalizer that needs to be accessed through the player you are using and this equalizer doesn't work with online music players and youtube.

Screen going off before set time. Didn't encounter it.

Don't use locking apps. So, again can't say.

Hey guys, earphones are not going fully inside the jack,is it same for all or problem with my device? Sound seems to be fine when listening
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Man I really can't say much. Overall, the phone is surely giving you a good battery. 5+ hrs of sot and 30%battery left still. You can easily get 6+hrs of sot in a single charge from 0 - 100. But camera being only used for 2-3 minutes and the launcher... I don't know why they're consuming so much percentage of battery. But nevermind , if you're getting an overall good performance from the phone then stats are of no use. Just enjoy the phone I guess.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
The phone had EIS(Electronic Image Stabilisation). In order to stabilise the video footage, the phone crops into the frame. It of normal and it is a feature.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Can't say anything about your other issues but Amazon Prime Music whether offline or online works superb.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] timurdis:
I would like to update my response since then.

1. Not sure about 4G data but camera use for a while does warm up device .

2. I haven't observed Google app swipe left issue lately perhaps since 8.1.0 update. Hopefully it's fixed.

3. Amazon Prime Music went from bad to worse, I had to uninstall it. I will try re-installing later & check.

For now it is the only app which is not working well, rest are all fine.

4. For other apps, sound quality though not loudest it's still fine but for older files it's still low, same complaint with the phone's speaker though the ringtones, alarm tones are adequately loud.

5. Fingerprint app lock issue, I haven't faced in a while.

6. I reckon screen sometimes still goes off bit earlier than time-out set, I am still investigating this.

Overall, it seems that performance has been improved & the only changes done were the 8.1.0 update & background activity manager. I had allowed nearly 40 apps to run in background & now reduced them to just 9 :silly: Not sure what exactly fixed the issues if they're indeed fixed.

Multitasking is fine, no jitters & lags observed on Twitter, Gapps, Instagram etc.

With average usage now battery easily lasts for 1 & half day, it's only the camera which consumes more battery!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
The power saving in Nokia 7 plus is aggressive. It doesn't keep game in the background for more than 15 minutes I guess or even any app.

Also, sound quality through earphones is fine but lacks depth. I used poweramp and that made quite a difference. There's a headphone jack bug also which happens randomly.

The Content adaptive brightness setting is also incorrectly calibirated.

Overall, performance though is good but still there are frame drops and stutter.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Two Major Bugs

1. OZO Audio

Recently I had shot a video with OZO audio enabled and it was a disaster. Video and Audio were terribly out of sync. Although, the video quality+stabilisation was great but audio being out of sync is a major let down.

2. Headphone Jack

I had plugged in my earphones to listen to some music and the audio just wouldn't come out of the earphones. The phone was unable to detect the earphones or something. I tried with Nokia earphones, Phillips earphones and even skull candy. It just wouldn't work. Fortunately somehow by the next morning I was able to play songs via nokia earphones ie the jack started working. I havent used it with any other earphone still because I'm scared it would stop working again.

Please let me know if anyone of you have suffered the same.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
The headphone jack issue is happening after the may update and it's random. Sometimes happen and sometimes doesn't.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Nirmal98kumar:
So can I confidently buy this mobile. I was a bit shaken upon hearing these issues
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Nirmal98kumar:
I asked Nokia via chat support and they told me that if we contact them they might provide software update specific to that device
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] timurdis:
I guess I spoke too soon...

The May update didn't fix the Google swipe left issue, it's still there though I noticed it only occurs when I change wallpaper but not always. I have uninstalled the Google app updates & now the app is back to it's stock version, let's see if this fixes the issue.

However, there is another major issue I've recently observed on my device!

I know many users have already reported about the tint at the bottom of the display, but mine is sort of different one with below given nuances-

1. On home screen, there is dark/smokey tint at the top & brighter tint at bottom. (see pic 1 -solid yellow stock wallpaper)

2. When swiped left for Google dark tint present at both top & bottom. (see pic 2)

Can anyone check & confirm if these two are norms?

3. On white background however, I observed dark tint is still there at top but there is smokey/grayish tint at the bottom (see pic 3)

4. On other apps the issue is same as mentioned in 1. but not that much visible(possibly due to non-white background), (see pic 4)

5. All above issues were observed at 7% brightness but the issue can still be slightly observed till roughly around 35 % & at full it's still there but very minuscule. (see pic 5 -100 % brightness on app)

I'm horrified now & I can't stop thinking about if there is any hardware issue with my device. I didn't notice these issue before because they were so elusive but since now I noticed I can't look away them.

Has anyone faced similar issues? Any help will be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
I dont know about the 1st issue because i havent used the nokia camera app to shoot videos.

I did face the 2nd issue once. I was able to hear very light volume through the headphones when they were half inserted. But after being fully inserted, the headphones went silent. I also observed that the earpiece also went silent at the same time. Speaker was working fine for calls though. I restarted the phone and it all came back to normal. I faced this only once since i have bought the phone on 11th May.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Your phone is fine. Even mine has that tint in the wallpapers. But that tint on the Google feed is not there for me maybe cuz I'm using the Pixel Launcher. Don't worry though, its normal. I've attached a few screenshots below and one with a yellow kinda wallpaper like yours so you can see for yourself. Even if the tint isn't showing in the ss due to some software change, I can firmly tell you that yes it's there.

Update: the tint is not therw for me on the stock launch ie launcher 3 on the Google feed also. So you might wanna check with someone other people about the same.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] timurdis:
Thanks, I was afraid that I was the only one who was facing this issue.

Also regarding Google feed, I forgot to mention that I didn't notice any tints at top & bottom when I was using it's updated version, but because I was facing the left swipe issue after changing wallpaper I decided to uninstall the updates & now Google feed is back it's stock version on which the tints are observed.

There is also one more issue I observed, in pitch-dark I kept the brightness very low (don't know exactly but I think it's 7-15%) & while browsing when suddenly ad popped-up it was slightly brighter than the rest of the layouts of the web page. Again I never noticed this before...

Today, I even showed my device to my colleague for first time to check these issues but he couldn't notice anything. I guess you need to use the device for a while to encounter these issues or am I overthinking......?

My gut feeling is still telling that the display is not properly calibrated, I just hope it's not some hardware fault.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
This issue is present. It happens only when brightness is under 25 - 30 percent. Sometimes typing will affect brightness, sometimes a video playing in one corner of the device will affect the brightness of the whole device and so on. It's random. Also, this happens when scrolling on mostly white pages.

It feels to me that it's a software bug which is related to "Content adaptive backlight settings". Improper calibiration of these settings is leading to these brightness issues.

Refer to this thread I made - https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000024254

Some other people too have seen this issue.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] grubber24:
To those who are trying to get Vodafone 4G Volte on this phone, email your issue to your regional vodafone officer and stick to your point that the phone supports Vodafone Volte as per their website. I finally got it working and it was just a simple process of switching it on from their side.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
I believe it can be a software bug but to be honest with you, it really didn't bother me much. Yes, I've noticed the keyboard and brightness issue and also the video playing in the corner like in netflix when you press the home button. But, it's just a software thing and it can be easily fixed via an OTA. If you still are concerned, try getting it checked at a nearby Nokia Care Centre.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
Yup. These brightness issues are there but only visible under low brightness. It feels like a software bug like the software is calibirating the screen brightness according to the content but only focusing on one type of content or sort of dynamic content that's changing like the keyboard taps or playing videos or scrolling through white pages mostly. The software goes haywire with the brightness control.

I would say that do post this issue in this thread so that Nokia knows what's wrong with the software.
