Bugs noticed on Android 10 for Nokia 9 PureView

I thought it was used to open up web pages within any app. But in Android Pie, it was disabled by default as web pages in-app were opened using chrome. Why did they revert? 🤔

I think the fingerprint unlock works better after January and March updates.

Delete all your prints and re-register but don't press hard lightly touch as many times as it takes. The finger print is much better in Android 10 than pie.

I know you are just trying to be helpful. I have had this phone from the first day it was for sale. I have re-registered my fingerprints more times than I can recall. Each time has made no difference for me. I can register my right thumb multiple times but when I actually try to unlock the phone or even just use the fingerprint verification function all I ever get is not recognized. My index finger is a bit more successful in that I can get it to read that finger about once every 8-10 tries. Essentially useless. Throw in the other issues like camera reliability and the phone randomly rebooting itself since the Android 10 update and I am one unhappy camper (and yes, I have done factory resets). I had looked so forward to getting a new Nokia phone 13 months ago but now I regret my decision completely.

The same happens to me, the only way to fix it is by rebooting.

My problem with Nokia 9 Pureview

1)Fingerprint reader speed is too slow

2)Fingerprint reader sensitivity is too poor

3)Camera picture quality too poor

4)Missing Night Mode!

5)No fast charging on enabled display!

6)Speaker volume steps is very big different!

7)HTC Type-C headset volume is very low

8)Missing VoWifi support in my Country!

9)Wifi randomly drop connection!Factory reset not resolve problem!

10)Camera autofocus is very bad!

That's it...

Its such a shame to see this phone is still causing problems. I jumped ship and went to the iPhone SE (2020). It's a dated looming phone, but I've not had any proverbs written it.

Wish Nokia had sorted its issues.

Don't tempt me to do another reset... 😂

When you do a factory reset it has to be without restoring apps so the issue is not restored. Add the apps back manually from the play store so its a fresh install of apps too.

If you don't perform a factory reset properly its like it was not even done. Apps must be installed manually after the reset. As many phones are fine its best after a factory reset to contact Nokia Support if you still have issues. This is not every phone but a small handful of people so its related to specific devices not all in general. A lot of times apps cause issues and everyone's phones have different apps and data installed. My 9PV has zero issues and is running android 10 with latest security patch.

And, we are talking about a flagship. It should be taken care of as such. Truly those of us who express our disagreement in this forum are people who want it to be resolved. And we are getting no response other than "factory format". It is a joke.

I have mistaken you for an HMD employee. You're right, it's a forum. Then I tell you, or I tell everyone. Nokia does not resolve the claims, they only tell you to format factory, clear application settings or test in safe mode. Nothing works. It is not an application because it is impossible that all of us who have the 9PV and have the same problem have installed THE SAME application with problems. And we all say that with Android 9 it worked well. Since you are not an employee of HMD, the fact that there are few people who have problems will tell you that it is wrong. You can google the opinions of this phone. You must be a lucky person who did not have hardware problems. I congratulate you, enjoy your phone. I only inform the rest of the forum what is happening to us (to many). Also thanks for your help.

I don't have to prove anything to you. I'm glad for you that you have a phone that works well. Mine after 3 factory reset only with WhatsApp installed the camera 1 out of 4 photos does not save it, it has old notifications on the lock screen and the fingerprint reader works half the time. It is like that and that EXACTLY happens to other users. Period. Thanks for your help. Unless you have a different tip or test, I think we're done here. Greetings and thanks.

The latest builds correct the at a glance showing old notifications. I have not seen an issue with pic saving yet. Try taking less than 4 and see if the issue is still present. The fingerprint reader has also been improved over time and works as well as other brand phones its just and awful place for a fingerprint reader and a dedicated physical reader is much better.

U.S. User here, Android 10, updated to August 1, 2020. I have Glance view off. I disable most of what I consider superfluous stuff, such as the fingerprint reader which I read was unreliable. Some have said to use the first finger, the pointer finger instead of the thumb; I don't lock the phone anyway.

I have developer options on, and things speed up a lot with Animations turned off.

My battery life is good - better than a day - but I did find initially that the battery life was not as good. I do no Social crap, so am not plagued with notifications constantly waking my phone. I don't sync Email or other accounts either, because I do not want them on my phone.

The OS is extremely buggy though, and I cannot stand that it is impossible to buy direct from Nokia, at least here in the U.S. That meansI have to go through a reseller, such as Amazon or Best Buy, and then Nokia hides behind the reseller wall when problems arise. I have had this phone not yet a month, and I have had more problems with Andoid10 than I ever had with my HTC. I really regret buying this phone now, but the specs were goodfor the price, despite the fact I got extorted by Best Buy for a $50.00 activation, which just required changing the SIM card.

The problems:

Apps open by themselves.

Flashlight sometimes comes on at will.

Dropped calls

Erratic WiFi connectivity, poor Network Connectivity that just started recently

Need to restart/reboot the phone often. That has never been my prior experience with Android.

Very slow camera

Balky Bluetooth

The pluses:

With Window animations off, the phone is wicked fast.

When calls do not drop, call quality is excellent.

Pictures rival many dedicated cameras.

Phone quality - appears well made, if not slippery'n a greased pig; I have it in a case, although a shame to cover the beautiful back. I really like using naked phones, but can't risk breakage.

I feel the battery life is acceptable to good. I usually get better than a full day out of a charge, but I use it mostly for calls, messages and pictures; I am not a streamer, gamer or a music maven. I have other devices that play music better, although it is usefull with my Ion Pathfinder 4, the Qi charging ability is useful, albeit slow - probably affected also by the high impact case. I should try it naked (the phone, that is<G>).
