After the last august update the problem is almost gone...and when say almost I mean it may occurs once every now and then but it is not that annoying as it was before

7plus I am using since last 1 year, but from last month device is getting hang every now and then. During photography also it hangs. Is it the memory issue or some update issue.

Hello HMD, I am also facing the same issue where the screen goes unresponsive randomly and upon lock and unlocking the screen works back. When I contact support they asked me to do a soft reset the phone but that doesn't helped and still I'm facing screen unresponsiveness. What would be steps to resolve this screen unresponsive issue as at times the happening very frequent in a day.

Any European get the bug repaired in the Hungarian Nokia mobile care center? What will they do if i send it there?

dmt1992 · September 2019

I posted this issue in this website many times now. No change. It's getting so annoying now. No more Nokia.

Same happened with me but hard reset healed it.

Same issue, suffered for months, tried every method mentioned but here's what worked for me:
I tried that double tap trick but didn't work then I kept the double tap feature off by mistake for about a week and when I checked that after a week I turned it on. Everything is fine after that. Playing PUBGM was horrible before that.

After trying disabling double tap to wake feature the problem still persisted. I visited Nokia service center and they reinstalled the stable build of Oreo. According to them the latest release was problematic. HMD global should really test the software before they give it to customers. This is really frustrating because even the cheapest handsets don't suffer from this issue. But even after installing fresh software there's no guarantee that the phone will work smoothly. I bought the 7 plus solely because it'll get Android P. But if their are so many problems in HMD Globals Oreo implementation I wonder how many problems we're going to face in the Android P update. I'm simply not happy with what HMD Global is doing with the software side of things. How do u think u r going to regain the trust of customers under the Nokia name when u can't provide a stable phone? HMD global needs to think deeply about this situation. I can say this for sure that Xiaomi has much better software. At least it is stable.

You are right , it's a high specs device but it is too problematic, software issue , bugs , and so many other things ,I am disappointed at HMD Global

But it worked well for two days, but again the issue started and annoying more.... Nobody from HMD cares about this issue... Disappointing....

I tried to Factory Reset 3 Times but not fix....I think it's a hardware issue

durr-e-adan · October 2019

Got this phone yesterday and I'm facing the same issue.

seddik · December 2019

The issue remain unsolved untill this day. Sadly I cannot afford to buy a new device so I am hoping that the issue will be fixed with the upcoming android 10 update.

mansoor syed · January 11

O my! Having similar kind of problem.

While I'm watching YouTube and when screen is rotated, screen hangs and the sound also hangs. Phone starts screening till the battery

I got it done in Hungarian center.

First time i sent there they just reflashed the software. The phone worked well for a few days and then problem back

Next time I sent them and asked specifically to replace screen. They did and issue was totally gone.

I had to switch to horrible iPhone for a few days while my Nokia got repaired, but i am glad it got solved. Paid nothing (under warranty), free shipping and delivery back through DHL.

seddik · January 26

It is offical guys... Updating to Android 10 did not solve the problem.. Guess we'll have to adapt somehow 😔

Glad to hear you got it fixed. This seems to be the only real solution. Everybody else should try to do the same, or try to get a refund somehow.

vineeth56 · February 6

Issue persists even after factory reset or android10 update

Manjeet Poonia · February 9

After updating Android 10 I am also facing the same problem. Screen hanged again again and only solution is lock and unlock again. This problam occurred many times in a single day. Is there any solution?

Factory reset did not solve it...nothing will 😔

boatbluejay · February 13

Try turnng off adaptive brightness

Viktor Streich · February 13

Send in the display, mine was repaired twice, now I got a replacement device and there are no more bugs.

Naveen · February 13

I had similar issue. My screen got damaged. I have replaced it now. For 3 days I did not see any this issue. So it is a hardware issue. Those who are facing and under warranty better to replace the screen

surfer dad · February 14

I stupidly rushed out and bought a Nokia 7 plus when my phone died and have not been able to use it due to this "screen" issue.

It's been returned under warranty via the retailer her in Australia and it got a new screen.

The "freeze" unresponsive and need to reboot, lock unlock had gone after new screen.

But, the navigation button issue (freeze, not work, lock, whatever you call it) then was an issue (wasn't issue with old screen).

So, it's gone back to retailer for another warranty repair.

I WISH I DID NOT BUY NOKIA.... Again. Stupid me.

As buyer influencer for my corporate business with 2000+ phones, users, we have made executive decision to NEVER BUY Nokia.

This 7 plus phone issue is a repeating problem with Nokia. They do not test Android with hardware enough. Fast updates still need to work!

I have Nokia try. 3 phones, 3 ongoing issues taking WAY TOO LONG TO FIX. Silly company Nokia.

Users need phone that works.

Aof · February 14

Now I found the way to fix this touchscreen freeze....I bought new phone not use Nokia anymore...
