Bulged Screen; Burn lines on screen

Guys, I have something worse to report. I bought my mother this phone (Nokia 7 plus) for mother's day. I had put a screen protector for her before she started using it. Suddenly, one day, the screen protector popped out and I starting noticing strange lines on the screen (see pic below). I used to tell her that for her use, she will get 2 days battery backup easily. But I noticed that the battery dropping nearly by 30% overnight.

I carefully noticed the phone, and the screen phone was bulged from the front (Pic 2). I have been using Android since ages and I know this was a bulged battery issue, and overheating has caused the LCD screen to burn some pixels (possibly). I quickly notified Amazon (from where I bought) asking for replacement because this seemed a very serious issue. They said that they have only 10 day replacement policy, but I can get it replaced at any Authorised repair centre.

Fast forward to me visiting the repair centre today. I met the front person and explained him the issue. His first statement "This issue will not come under warranty, this has happened because of overcharging". I sincerely chuckled, because I have been working with phones that charge over weeks at work and nothing happens to them. And my mother always charged with the Nokia charger (fast charger). I asked him how and questioned his ideals, he was blunt and rude. I asked that I would like to speak to the manager. He said that he is the manager and the sole owner of that service centre. I couldn't bare it. After some talking, He took pictures of the phone and sent to HMD and said that he will get back by Monday and said that it could be water damage (my mum has never dropped even a drop of water on it, considering that she has never damaged a phone ever).

Now I am just waiting, but the way he interacted seems to be an issue. Calling it an issue of overcharging, and saying it is not under warranty.

Leaving that aside, I informed amazon too, and they were so courteous, that they said that they would replace the phone, if I got a "replacement denial letter". I requested this from the Manager, and unsurprisingly he said no I won't.

I'll update this with further developments but for now look at the images below. It clearly seems to be a faulty battery.

Also, the Manager (obviously don't want to name him yet) said that it is perfectly use the phone in this case. I made my mum start using her old phone for safety precaution because I don't trust a word he says.

Any suggestions guys?

Edit: I Will be sending a mail to support@hmdglobal.com

TL;DR: Bought my mum N7+ on mother's day. In three weeks, it bulged and deformed with screen burn lines. The Authorised Nokia centre guy said this won't come under warranty, but later I negotiated and made him take photos and sent a mail to HMD to enquire. I hope HMD doesn't deny that this is battery issue.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.khiladi:
If they still don't replace it, escalate the matter to consumer court.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] tr.supradeep:
Thanks for the suggestion friend. I surely will. I really expected their after market service to be good. Can't believe that Amazon is ready to go out of the way to get it replaced.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
This is really sad man. Post the same on Nokia forums. Although, I haven't seen anyone with this particular issue either on Nokia forums or on XDA but now that we know of such things, I guess we all will try to be a bit cautious.

.

1. Pics are not clear. Maybe use different angles.

2. Use social media to your advantage. Ask for help from Youtuber [MENTION=5209816]c4e[/MENTION]Tech. He always helps on Twitter and asks the company directly.

Hope it helps.

this is the situation with every phone nowadays, no matter how expensive it is and to which brand it belongs. Nokia has given this phone a tagline "a phone you can rely on" but in reality people over the internet are reporting many issue some being major like yours. Brands these days are using sub standard quality hardware components because of which phones do not last long and are not dependable at all.

planning to buy a nokia 7 plus. is it available offline? does app clone works in it? anyoyne could help me out!!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
App clone is not an inbuilt feature of the phone but it'll work if you download some third party cloning app from the Playstore.

Don't know if it's available offline or not

Found a Gcam that's working! You have to play around with some setrings though like change the model to Pixel II XL and some other things to make the portrait mode work. I'll attach my set os settings below. Also, if portrait mode doesn't work at all just uninstall the app and install and it again and make the changes it should work. Also, there is no option for slow motion video.

Charging issue

Sometimes, when I put my phone on charging, it starts flickering like charging on off on and off...

Anyone facing this issue???
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Try pushing the cable in and attaching it perfectly. Maybe, due to a loose connection it's flickering. It the problem still persists, get your device checked at a service center. Such problems are hardware related mostly so there isn't much that you can do about it.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
When i hold the power botton and select the power off option, my phone's screen immediately black out and the phone actually turns off after a lot of time. This is a bit unusual as most phones say "powering off" and then turn off within seconds of that screen disappearing. Please check if you also have the same issue.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kinghappy:
Did anyone checked is phone giving any response like vibrations on empty battery when we press Power button without inserting charger, like Motorola shows white screen empty battery logo or Redmi note 4 shows red led notification for empty battery

I have just seen a weird thing with my device. There is no hotspot icon in the QS tiles menu. Is it due to the substratum or something else??

Already did a reset in the qs tiles menu and nothing

Previously there was the icon and then suddenly it became unresponsive so I did a reset amd its gone and bumch of other icons too.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] timurdis:
Yes, I have this issue on my device too! For the first few days I thought the device would indeed get power off quickly then I noticed while charging it was still on even after screen goes off & took a while to turn off. Also, I might be wrong but the time it takes to turn off completely also varies.

Another issue is that, sometimes when the device is charging whilst it's turned off & if tried to turn on by long pressing the power key the device won't turn on instead the screen keeps turning off & on, then it would eventually turn on after several failed attempts. This is random & happens only sometimes.

Furthermore, after June patch I factory reset my device to get rid of some trivial bugs but instead few more bugs were induced! LOL

Now the twitter video feeds when scrolled get scrambled sometimes, Google feed left swipe still does not work sometimes when wallpaper is changed, App lock when used for Instagram keep asking for unlock several times in search window, weird black strips flash sometimes when scrolling through Chrome window.

And the old issues are still there like web browser's & keyboard's brightness varies automatically. God knows when I will get rid of these bugs!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Yeah trying to turn the phone on while it's switched off and on charging is a bit problematic. I agree. Rest, i did not factory reset my phone nor do i use twitter. Let's just hope july security update fixes these issues.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
It's there on mine. See ss below.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vishuxperia:
I had it and used it a week back. It was there till I resetted the Qs tiles.. now its gone...
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
MAJOR BUG

So there is this one bug that i have from the start like when i had first received this device. It's the typing bug in gBoard. It also happens in keyboards like the chrooma keyboard and basically in all other keyboards too. But in gBoard (which is most preferred by me) it is much more pronounced. I've attached a video of it in action. Please let me know if ypu also have the same issue. Also, my touch screen works just fine and it is super responsive. Just the keyboard is problematic. So often when i type a word, only a letter the starting letter of that word appears. My "swiping" is also not that bad that the phone wouldn't recognise the word as i had Le 2 earlier and it worked just fine on that. Please do see the video and revert.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
I don't know then man. Have you tried not using the theme or like factory reset? Also, do look at that other bug I've mentioned.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] vishuxperia:
I have yet to try substratum reset and if that does not work then a factory reset. I haven't tried it but will try it tomorrow and update the results here.

Also I do not have the same keyboard issue as you've mentioned.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Oh okay, thanks for the reply man. Do let us know if your problem get's solved after the factory reset.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] nikhil felix:
bro dont need to factory reset. just go to settings system & system ui tuner arrange it hotspot. :good: after that notification bar setting icon long press remove the system ui.

Jio is my primary sim and i don't use any secondary sim, earlier (but even after june security update) my sim and volte would work perfectly but since the last 3-4 days, after the news about hmd fixing the volte issue, mine doesn't work properly. Im not getting calls and have to at times switch my phone off and on to make calls. Please help! Even the data stops working at times.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] K.singh:
Installed twitter today. yes, it's very problematic. Plus, takes hell lot of time to show the feed. It just doesn't load up also many times.

if you are buying it for the full price then better go for Zenfone 5z base variant with 3k icici instant cashback for 26999 INR. What do you guys think?

Yup. That sure is a better device if someone is fine with notch and Zen UI.

No issues. Got One Plus 5T used. Thanks anyway .. And how we get Zen 5Z for 25k ?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] kirankowshik:
Original price for base version is 26999 and with cash back offers it's effectively lesser

I hv been used samsung, one plus and HTC but I can say this mobile is smooth and fast.

U can compare it with One plus 5 even.

When I try to flash a custom ROM with TWRP it gets flashed successfully but after flashing when I try to boot to the system the phone gets turned off after displaying the ASUS logo for 5-10seconds and again when I try to boot the process gets repeated... :crying:

So, is there anyone who knows how to solve the problem...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] garfield2412:
hi Guys,

i have some questions here and i seriously need your help.

I'm a RC-Model enthusiast and i own a Remote Control Transmitter manufactured by JR Japan.

This RC Transmitter is operated by an Android System (4.0.3).

http://www.jrpropo.com/english/propo/28x/

Unfortunately JR Japan has gone bancrupcy and so the production and support for the 28x is gone and no further development will be done.

The mayor point is:

I'd like to hack this thing... meaning first:

- get root access

- do a full rom backup

- install SuperSu App or anything else like that

- activate Bluetooth (disabled by factory)

- reverse engenieer the apps any modify them if possible. every app seems to control some registers on another board (main RF-Board). so for example there is an app called "subtrim". With this app you can modify the neutral pulse which is send to the receiver via the RF board.

- so i got adb access and shell already and tried some things.

- can install various apps and download the installed apps

but without root everything else is worthless.

so the speciality is:

there seems to be a Texas Instruments Board inside. I researched this one AM335X-EVM-SK (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335X_EVM-SK_Android_Devkit_Guide) --> system info

On this Board/the Components Android 4.0.3 is runnig.

I Figured out that there isn't a normal bootloader because you can't boot into bootloader via ADB Shell.

I'm scared about using the "standard" root apps/methods, because i think the special Mainboard and Booting method isn't compatible to anything else compareable in the "Mobile-World".

--> soloution?

--> what further infos do we need?

another thing is the bluetooth activation

if you enter the following comands @ via ADB Shell, you can try to get Bluetooth enabled - but there isn't an option to click "yes" on the display, when the system asks for the permission to enable BT. only some display thatr bluetooth can be enabled, but nothing else happens. Normal BT activiation isn't in the settings menu!

adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_ENABLE

adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE

so i think bluetooth is inactivated somewhere deep inside the kernel. and without root access .... you know what i mean.

if i install the superSu ap, it doesn't work because the device isn't rooted.

it would be very great if someone can help me and tell me what things we can do, to hack this thing.

I'm not a developer (yet) but i have some serious interest to get inside and learn how the things work here.

Thank you so far guys

regards

hi i bought this tablet few weeks ago and i have in my hands for around a week , i'm having some serious issues to use it because the rom basically sucks (continous crash of almost every app, sometimes it reboots by himself etc.)

i wanted to ask if other people have it and if they're facing the same issues , and the most important thing :if there is a twrp and a custom rom to replace this abomination :D

sorry for my bad english

I received this tablet a week ago and it just restarted once. Not that bad.

I just have another issue: battery charging. Just 3 days ago, I found that the i8 max couldn't be fully charged! Charging stopped at 83% even I plugged in for whole night. I will try the soft-reset tonight and see what happened.

Anyone having similar problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snufkin:
Tried using Power + Vol- but the device kept rebooting. Then pressing Power + Vol+ gave me a boot menu. I selected wipe cache and reboot again ...... no luck. The battery meter stayed at 86% after 8 hours of charging :mad:

Seems we need a better rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoniob91:
Finally i succesfully unlocked bootloader , flashed a twrp (starting with a xiaomi redmi note 4 twrp i make the porting to make it works on voyo)

And flashed superSU too

But the experience on this tablet still sucks

The firmware from voyo website is not able to flash with sp tools , or twrp so is useless .

If somebody successfully port or create an alternative rom for this tab let us know
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgaine:
If you could share instructions and files for bootloader unlock and root to the forum, that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoniob91:
Now it's easier

For unlock bootloader you need to download mediatek drivers on Windows and activate usb debug and oem unlock bootloader (or similar) in dev option , from then open a powershell and use adb like other phones

For twrp , google "voyo i8 max twrp" guide and download link are there (i think it s not allowed to post external link)

For root download superSU and flash from twrp

If you need other infos , ask :)

Sorry for my bad english , it's difficult to write a guide in another language
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgaine:
Hi. Thanks. My difficulty is actually to find the TWRP file for the i8 Max. Googling it leads you to the GetDroidTips website which gives you a link to the twrp file that is on a Russian forum page. However the download link on that Russian forum page is dead. I tried to contact the writer of the article on GetDroidTips website, but he's not responding. All I want really is a valid download link to the twrp file. Everything else I should be able to do fine from there...
