Q&A - Have questions about the Nokia T20? Ask us

I received the Nokia T20 TA-1397 SS LTE 4/64 IN BLUE.

But this device doesn't support to receive or make a call.

When I tried to install "Phone by google" app through play store it says your device is not compatible.

But Internet is working fine when I insert the SIM card.

Please address this issue!

The tablet doesn't support calling features. The SIM support is only to serve as a data provider. It will not be used for calling. Sadly, that's how it is. And that's how most tablets used to be. I'm not sure if things have changed recently.

Because they mention on the box "3 years of monthly security updates", but they don't mention when the updates will start. To be fair, the tablet is still one month old, so I am hoping for an update this month.

Time will tell if Nokia respects their promises and my wallet will vote accordingly ;)

Update available! This brings the device to October security bulletin. Very good Nokia!

One problem though: although the update is available since November 11, I cannot get it, my tablet says that there are no updates.

Check here, select Nokia T20: https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/security-updates

Use Google. Enter nokia t20 user manual. First two links are good.

P.S. You can do this with other queries you might have in the future, it is faster than asking in a forum.

Hos do I avoid the 'swipe ledt to see new content'?

Just enable FIle Transfer mode from the notifications area.

I think Tidal also might require DRM licensing, so in T20 Hifi option would not be there most probably...Some other Tab with a snapdragon processor would be better. 🙄

Salut @tudor georgescu ,

My T20, bought in the same country, has GPS. But it is the version with 4G modern included.

When will the tablet be available in Slovakia?

I spoke to Nokia support today about the Widevine L1 issue, they seem more interested that they could not find my device IMEI in their DB, it turns out the support operator did not know that devices purchased from amazon are not supported directly by Nokia so are not in their DB, but I got nowhere with L1, suggesting I reset the network connects and increase the device resolution.

Quote from the T20 site:

"Nokia T20 makes light work of your day-to-day (and night) viewing with a captivating 2K screen. So, whether you’re viewing a work presentation on the go, or just relaxing at home with a movie, every detail will look fantastic"

"Nokia T20 brings the classic Nokia quality to the big screen, and helps you find better work-life balance. Its crystal clear 2K screen lets you see both work presentations and movie marathons in stunning detail"

NOTE: 2K is approx 1080p

NOTE: L3 restricts video to 480P

There was a change on the website that is interesting:

On the original Nokia T20 website 9 Oct there was no mention of DRM.

Then on the 29 Oct they added note:

"2 Nokia T20 supports up to 1200*2000 resolution. Actual playback resolution depends additionally on other variables such as quality of the connection when streaming and possible digital rights management requirements."

Nokia needs to respond to this forum, I think this device is a dud and they will not update the Widevine version, the first big update (5 Nov 2021) dropped 15 Dec 2021).

I just need to know so i can return my 2 Nokia T20 whilst in the Amazon return window, as apart from this issue the device is excellent.

Hi @RewsterUK, as answered earlier, the T20 only supports L3 playback and it will not be improved via an update. The L3 level will affect only those apps that rely on DRM to serve content. As such, YouTube will not be impacted, but Netflix will be. So, depending on which apps you use, you may or may not be able to play full HD content. And if you spend considerable time on apps that rely on DRM + you have paid for higher quality, then yeah fair to look for another device that suits your needs.

I will also add that as mentioned earlier, Netflix will still not play full HD resolution even if the Widevine was L1 since they do not support the CPU that's used on the T20.

I want to buy T20 flip cover when it available on online sell. India

I am living in Finland and bought T20 from India through Amazon when I was on vacation. This tablet has several problems mainly screen getting off automatically and disconnecting the Bluetooth device automatically.

Is there any solution ?

The Google's "At A Glance" widget is taking way too much space on the home screen. It does not seem to be meant for tablets at all.

Anyone have reasonable tips on how to remove it?
