when will it available on the Swiss market?

I was able to fix a serious low call volume issue by following this advice from support.

Let’s go Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Phone-> Force stop -> Storage -> Clear cache -> Go back to app info -> Select the 3 dots on top right of the screen -> uninstall updates -> Restart the phone (Then hold the Power Button + Button Volume UP for 10 seconds until your phone will switch OFF - release the keys.)

I see others here have or had the same problem.

I was able to fix the low call volume by disabling Enhanced 4G LTE Mode for voice calls, may or may not be there depending on your SIM card. Once the little VoLTE icon is gone from the notification shade, calls were loud again. Maybe some kinda bug?

When is Nokia going to fix the apparently widespread issue with the Smart Lock trust agent?

Wheather all Nokia 7.1 has heating issue? 

user1544585115532

Why the phone not having the feature 'Tethering & Portable hotspot'' ?. Without this feature, I am not able to connect my mobile data with laptop.??  ( Only USB Tethering is available which means the phone keep on charging when I use the USB tethering which I do not prefer.)

user1544585115532

I still have problem with Tethering portable hotspot. Data can be shared only through USB tethering which means all the time I have to keep the phone connected to Laptop via USB. Why Nokia is not taking action on this problem which is very important for those who constantly use 
data from phone to Laptop. Connection via USB means the phone gets charging all the time.

All the other model phones I used previously has the portable tethering and now I regret buying this Nokia 7.1..!!

I have just used the wifi tethering on my Nokia 7.1. It is there under Settings>Network & Internet>Hotspot & tethering. This is on TA-1095 International version.

user1544585115532

The version I have (recently launched in India) do not have Portable Tethering feature. It has got only USB Tethering. Anyone have Nokia Customer Care email address???

Nokia 7.1 does not support native Youtube HDR videos nor Netflix HDR then whats the point of including HDR 10 Compliant screen?

user1544585115532

Also, I am not getting  missed call notification unless I unlock the phone. So, every time I need to check if anyone called in my absence, I have to unlock phone. Even cheaper Chinese  phones have all these features and I am not happy with this Nokia phone,,

Nokia x7 ( china ) androi 9 . camera before error when calling messenger or zalo. Camera photos are disastrous

Hello,
since I have no idea how to start a new thread (maybe I can't?) I am going to ask here. Does 7.1 support mirrorlink? I cant seem to find a single post about it on the internet  Thank you!

Tavsi

I am also not sure how to start a new thread haha. Just wondering why the dark mode in Android settings doesn't change notifications, the actual settings page, or the Google discover feed. Is this planned in a future update?

Hi lovely ppl is this phone worth the price of $200 3gb variant I found it on sale.
I am resonable at this price I am looking for a phone that works normaly day to to day usage with no lagging and I don't care about gaming or camera so is this phone acceptable in terms of quality? I heard the nokia 5.1 plus and 6.1 have a usb and charging problem, kindly let me know what u think?

Also why doesn't the Nokia 7.1 support the LDAC codec, considering it is free to implement and part of the AOSP?

Hi, if I download a game or app my phone randomly saves pictures to my phone of people's profile pics which are no benefit to me whatsoever or saves videos from adverts.... Anyone know how to stop this? Thanks

Hello

I am not seeing the same issue please download Gsam battery monitor app from play store.  So you can better see what is happening.  This is probably an app issue.  Have you done a factory reset without restore ?
