Re: Nokia are you listening world is moving to 3 Android +4 year SP
@shriram fowkar the post was removed because of lack of content. You dropped a title and just a link in the body of the post; which is kinda bad for a place where you expect to do discussions.
The initiative by Samsung is rather nice. But see how they leave out their cheaper phones out of any such promises. So, whilst they have a great update policy (now) for their flagship and higher mid-range, their lower range is still a place of suffering, and that's one area where hmd is still handling things pretty well.
HMD should certainly rethink its business decisions to extend support for more years (which will definitely require you to pay higher prices for the phones since the costs of supporting an older hardware are quite high), but beyond that they actually need to make their phones better in terms of software and user experience. Even if Samsung is delivering 2 extra years of updates now, I'm certain they won't market their phones for this only reason (whereas hmd seems to be having only the updates as a reason when selling its phones).
Massive mobile data problem in Android 10
Ok, got a Nokia 6.1 phone that was working perfectly on Android 9. Upgraded to Android 10 and then a problem started with mobile data. I'm going to explain slowly and step by step to show how I recreate the problem. I can recreate it 100% of the time.
I have wifi on and mobile turned off. Then if I turn wifi off then after about 1-2 seconds the H+ icon displays by the signal bar. I confirm that all the wifi and mobile data toggles are off (Wifi switch to mobile data automatically setting always off). Confirm it in settings again, but the H+ data icon still displays. More alarmingly, I go into Chrome to see whether it will work and its using my mobile data (but the settings are off!!)
Ok, test 2. I leave wifi turned on, but keep mobile data off. I move out of wifi range and 1-2 seconds later, the H+ pops up again and once again mobile data is being used.
Ok, test 3. Put wifi on and mobile data on. Turn off wifi, turn off mobile (in that order). No data connection. Good.
Test 4. Put wifi on, leave mobile data off. Turn off wifi. H+ pops up. I enable mobile data and turn it off again. No data connection. Good
Test 5. This I discovered after working from home and only having wifi on and mobile off. I received a message from my service provider that my mobile data was running low. I checked the balance and moved on. Next day, I check the balance again and it is slowly decreasing. My phone is still using mobile data in tiny amounts even though the mobile toggle is off and I'm only using wifi. (It has been depleting my mobile data for the last week already and I'm on wifi only. No mobile usage shows on data usage screen for mobile. It's not a lot of data, about 1-2mb per day, but still, mobile is off, it shouldn't be using anything.) In test 1 and test 2 it uses full mobile data as if it was turned on, but it shows it is off.
Please HMD, fix this! I can cope with the whatsapp and games sound popping and cracking after the Android 10 update, but not a phone that is using mobile data when it shouldn't! I don't want to leave my wifi area and then an hour later my phone has used up my mobile data and then it will start using my airtime at out-of-bundle rates. If this doesn't get fixed, I'm afraid this loyal Nokia fan will have to find another brand.
Re: Nokia 7.2 Display problem ( showing previous app on other screen)
yup it happens when you overuse an app, but it will go away in some time nothing to worry, its not permanent. but the thing is that it should not happen lcd screens and ips displays.
Re: Android 10 Bug fix update
This kind of sums up my worries for Android 11 coming to the 8.1. Bugs for Android 10 were not addressed and this will presumably be the case with Android 11 but the difference this time is Android 11 is the last chance saloon for the phone.
If HMD don't follow up and fix the bugs we are going to be in the same position as the Nokia 8 which got buggier with each release and rather than ending its life as a matured device it ended its life with many problems what remained unfixed and some of them were known about for years. The 8 was a much better phone when it was release, HMD made it worse not better and you can just see this happening with the Nokia 8.1

Re: Android Auto not working after update
I had this same issue on my Nokia 8.3 5G.
I found the Android Auto 6.1 APK and installed it, the Google Play version is only up to 6.0.
It fixed the issue and Android Auto works fine once again.
The link I used is...
Hope this helps you all :)
