CoBo55 · 01-08-2019 2:46pm

Delighted with mine.

Tazzimus · 01-08-2019 2:49pm

Seemingly HMD used different manufacturers, rather than just the one.
This could explain the difference in experience owners have with it.

Phone fell from my pocket while getting out of the car today. Took a mighty hit off the asphalt and I managed to crack the screen. Thankfully just a hairline crack at the bottom right corner. Considering how many falls this phone has taken and all without a case, I would definitely rate it a durable phone :pac:

I dropped mine on a tiled floor screen down no case made crap of the screen cost me 160 to replace.

Mine got wet behind/in screen last Tuesday, and no amount of time in a bag of rice is helping things.

Side buttons and finger print sensor fine but touch screen completely dead. Gutted. One of my favourite phones ever. Can't believe they're still 200 on Adverts etc! Just need to find a cheap solution with Android One, NFC, 3+GB RAM now!!!

Tazzimus · 14-08-2019 12:44pm

August security patch popped up on mine earlier, installing now.
103MB ish I think it is

Incredibly after 15 days and repeated attempts it started working again! Unbelievable, one of the best phones ever!

Steve F · 27-08-2019 11:17am

I took the plunge on this phone and after 10 days so far all I can say is this is a beast of a phone...superb
Got it on a "free" upgrade with Three so very very happy

Paremon2 · 04-09-2019 9:41am

Screen replacement (cracked); any recommendations of where to go in Dublin or Wicklow? Value-wise.

Yggr of Asgard · 04-09-2019 10:49am

So it looks like we have to wait a long time for our Android 10 upgrade, looks like somewhere at the end of the year:

GBX · 04-09-2019 10:50am

I wasn't expecting it immediately but its not too long a wait. Let them iron out any issues on other models first. I'll just be glad to get it.

Yggr of Asgard · 04-09-2019 10:56am

Maybe we are lucky and the do allow another Beta Labs around for the device so we can get it early as part of their beta.

Paremon2 · 04-09-2019 12:44pm

When approx are updates expected to cease for this phone? Android One is for 'at least 2 years of Android OS upgrades'. Whereabouts are we on that 2 year timeline?

Debating whether to replace the cracked screen on my 1.5 year old 7 Plus for €100 (which also has the notorious flaky charging port) or buy the 8.1 new for €287 delivered (but poorer battery life & lower overall ratings vs 7 Plus)

q85dw7osi4lebg · 04-09-2019 12:46pm

Charge point issue here also. Any solutions? Starting to drive me nuts. A pity as I love the phone (better than any iPhone I've had)

GBX · 04-09-2019 12:49pm

The updates for this phone guaranteed were security updates - not necessarily updates to Android. In saying that, Nokia (HMD) are forging ahead with providing updates for most phones in their catalogue. I personally would imagine we might get up to next year out of updates.

GBX · 11-10-2019 4:04pm

Got the latest security update today.

Tazzimus · 11-10-2019 4:08pm

Meant to say this earlier actually.
Phone was connected to the Wi-Fi in work so didn't even realise it was out til I was prompted to reboot.

Just get it fixed under warranty. I just got mine back. Picked up by DHL on Wednesday and returned on the following Wednesday. So just over a week.

I raised a ticket through the phone support app (which actually just brings you to https://nokia.ebuilder.com/auto/repair). Got an automated email with DHL shipping label in a few mins. Very straightforward.

emo72 · 11-10-2019 5:00pm

I thought my phone had the charging issue. The port was just full of gunk. I went in store to get it repaired and the girl just stuck a pin in and cleared it out. Totally sorted it and didn't have to go without my phone. Just double check, I couldn't see the gunk myself till she started pulling it out. Jobs Oxo.

I did this the other night cos mine was giving hassle, you don't realise the amount of fluff and crap that actually gets in there

robinwing · 18-10-2019 6:58pm

will 7+ work with drones ?

GBX · 30-10-2019 11:55am

Gonna post this here as its somewhat related to my Nokia 7 plus.

I was trying to get RCS messages set up using this reddit post but it doesn't seem to work for me - It wont verify - maybe Google have closed the loophole (?) Anyway, no big deal for me was more curiosity to see if it worked. I use Whatsapp 99% of the time anyway.

One thing I've noticed in the messages settings is that the number keeps changing to a different number than mine. I've reset it to mine in trying to get the above set up but it will change itself back. Do sim cards come with a precoded number only to be rewritten once it is allocated a proper billing number? Is the phone pulling this number from the sim and rewriting it in the settings?

Dual SIM phone don't support RCS yet.

I'm also seeing the SIM number, not my own ported number. It's fecking with my OCD.

Thats the thing, Mine is TA-1055 = SingleSIM

THey say to keep trying until it goes through. Clearing data, force stopping apps etc...

I got myself a 7+ November last year on PAYG. Start of this month, USB port fails and the phone wont charge. Contacted Nokia on 04/11/2019 and used their webchat to describe the problem. Phone was picked up by courier 05/11/2019 and today 12/11/2019 I have the device back in my hands. Port seems to be fully repaired and working normally, no movement in it like it had developed before. Pretty impressed with the turn around to be honest.

It'll go again,my advice look for a brand new phone from them,then at least your warranty will run on a bit longer- total waste of money,and a worldwide problem yet they don't fix it as in a recall

24 month warranty
Is the 7 plus out that long?

Tazzimus · 12-11-2019 3:38pm

Released last Feb, so should still be in warranty.

I must have gotten one of the good batch, no issues whatsoever with mine since I got it last March.

Same here. However certain posters continue to wage a campaign on this and other Nokia threads.

Charger issue here, getting unusable now. Possible move to Google 3a xl incoming. Pity, as I've loved the phone otherwise.

If it's still in warranty try contacting Nokia? I can only speak from my own experience but they had it sorted out really quickly.

90% sure I only had a 1 year warranty with it, was it supposed to be 2? Will have a look for it.

That's brilliant thanks, looks like it's still valid! Now to find the receipt..

How long was your phone away for ?

From courier pick up to return was seven days. They didn't ask me for PoP but card statement would be fine if you don't have receipt.

Just having an issue lately with mine where people on the other end are hearing lots of noise and disturbance when I'm not talking.

Anybody else have a similar issue? Possibly something to do with noise cancellation and the mic?

CoBo55 · 11-12-2019 4:25pm

I'm having trouble with Waze and Google Maps being very glitchy jumping etc it looks like it can't find my location accurately.

Charging issue started manifesting itself a few months ago and was getting worse. Checked the warranty and, to my surprise, I am still in the warranty period.

To be fair to them, their repair service is pretty slick. Logged the fault, DHL picked up the phone from my house on Monday 9th December. I got an email yesterday to say the repair had been done and the phone was on it's way back to me, due to be delivered on Tuesday.

Not trolling at all,just trying to make ppl aware of Nokia's terrible customer care number,+ to try and get the Nokia plus 7 changed before the warranty runs out,as was done to me ,had loads of the old Nokia's no problems,but this particular model has internationally been highlighted as having severe charge porting problems yet Nokia officially deny it
