    Why direct video call option not active from dialer on Nokia 8.1 ?
    It's available.I does Video Call On Same Carrier i.e.Jio to Jio.
    In my device there is no such option for direct video call from dialer for any network not even Jio ... Are you using Jio's call app @nitin kachare??

    It is for only Jio @Argho Sarkar Jio to Jio when you go to contact and then click on any contact you will see video if it is blue in colour then you can call only if reciever using Jio too.

    It works flawlessly only when you receive/make calls on same sim you enabled data connection as well, otherwise data temporarily disabled for a while till you finish your call.

    No.When you call any jio number i.e.Voice then you will get option i.e.Video Call On Screen after receiving the call.

    - Edited by Super User to remove the screenshot that revealed the phone number.

    Have any of you had been facing outside noise level dominating voice call volume bcoz of low voice call volume at the earpiece when traveling outside?? Am facing this issue but not sure whereas, it delivers enough voice call volume hearable while in indoors. Is this something can be solved through OTA update??

    May be a reason I think they are delaying it for including update to camera as well along with Jan Security patch release??

    Yes I've. 1st one over sharpening over side lines of image as well some grains, 2nd image is having only grains when you zoom In. Similarly 3rd one is having grains visibility over human subject. Ideally am expecting indoor shots also supposed to be grain less with Colors punchier but am not sure about how other flag ships phone performance in that area.

    Security patch /update can't come soon enough. Occasional Bluetooth audio disappearance issue needs fixing along with the WhatsApp freeze issue (also occasional).

    Front camera has over exposure issues. I don't use the default camera app and use the Google camera port instead. Back camera images out of that are almost Pixel 3xl quality. Highly recommended.

    It works flawlessly only when you receive/make calls on same sim you enabled data connection as well, otherwise data temporarily disabled for a while till you finish your call.

    @Narayanan.R I use only single sim that's AIRTEL and what you said only happen with JIO that I tested yesterday. And volte is also not showing with any of the sim except JIO.

    If you are using single sim, both data & Voice call should work simultaneously irrespective of network operators. Airtel volte, Nokia 8.1 is not currently in their compatible handset lists. You may reach out to service provider to know more.

    @Narayanan.R so that's why I'm unable to use volte as 8.1 is not in their list for volte?

    And I updated 6 hrs ago @rajathsshetty 😂 but it has not change exposure issue much, just a minor change. Need more update to completely fix this front camera issue.

    Camera app is just an application and might be updated from the Google Play Store. I don't think Nokia will be fixing it through a software update. OTA Software updates mainly focus on the OS, performance issues, security updates and other bugs.
