Nokia 7 Plus €399

Find the camera very good tbh. Not particularly slow.

heebusjeebus

The camera is very fast but some of the shots can be overexposed.
Hopefully that will be fixed in the update.

Thanks guys! Its for my dad upgrading from a 6P, was looking at the op6 but after learning that it can't even stream netflix etc in 1080p.. meh. For even less money this looks very appealing if the camera is good.

Good choice I got the 7 for the smallie,prised him away from the iphoney crowd,loves android, and Nokia,and he's bloody picky

Go into messages, the three dots in top right, settings, general, notifications and turn off vibrate, change notification etc.

How are you guys finding the camera, out of interest Looking at this or a op6, but this intrigues me more with android one and all that

Camera is the main reason I want to keep this phone.
Mind not made up on the battery ability, the is freeze, or Bluetooth staying connected yet.
But I do like the camera.

My phone just dropped, or can't get internet on broadband, though it is working with the laptop.
Did I manage to turn something off on the phone?
I can't think...



Edit: turns out after 1 hour of contacting Vodafone the modem needed a reboot. 🀦ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸

Sure the current lot is day, next batch will be later evening ones.

eh i dunno

Is it just me or does the screen occasionally freeze and you have to lock and unlock to get it back working?

Nope I'd same issue with my Nokia 3/5/6/8 and now this 7plus

If I'd known about this I wouldn't have bought. Definitely a big negative for me. I don't think the screen is sensitive enough either but maybe I'll adjust to that.

No nothing like that with mine, maybe you have a rogue app hogging resources.

breeno

No such problems for me either. Very happy with the phone.

GBX

Just got mine today. Lovely device.

Yakult

Not experiencing any screen freeze either!

I'm getting it too but don't have to lock unlock all the time...

I'm hoping it will improve and I won't regret holding onto it.

marcbrophy

Have gotten it a few times, most recently a few minutes ago while emptying spam in email.

These things are usually as simple as an incorrectly tuned CPU governor.
Hopefully, it's not too much hassle, and we get a patch soon!

Pugzilla

No screen problems for me.

Vodafone have this listed at €319 on their site at the mo.

Someone over on the Nokia Forums found an easy way to upgrade the phone to 8.1

https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000023851/page/12?url_locale=

Look for a post by quigger half way down the page:


I've replied on another thread but just to spread my feedback... I went for the Nokia developer preview, downloaded the "current roll-back image" method.

I was 8.0.0 Feb security.

1. I signed up to the Nokia developer preview, downloaded the "current roll-back image"
2. Transferred it to an SD card via my computer.
3. Put SD card back in phone.
4. Rebooted phone to check file before using recovery mode.
5. However, when the phone rebooted it found the file on the SD card itself and offered to install it whilst phone was active (no need to use recovery mode).
6. I accepted and waited for the 100% to install, and then had to reboot.
7. Once rebooted I was on 8.1.0.
8. I only have April security update at present. (I suspect EE (UK Network) are blocking the May one).

Now, to me, they looked fine!
Good even.

Didn't know goggle had a video maker!

That tune is going to be stuck in my head now, thanks very much :pac:

Yggr of Asgard

So I did the above method to update my phone.

After 1 hour on 0% progress I had enough and just restarted and voila I was on 8.1 April update. Strange but it worked.

Checked again for an update and it downloaded the May update and now I have an up to date phone.

GBX

Any reason why I'm not getting any notification dots? I have it selected in the settings but none appear.

The option in your gallery mode allows you to create vids or collages.

I followed these steps - onto SD, reboot and got the update install ready notification. Completed in about 30 minutes.

Did you afterwards got a prompt for the update to the may update?

No not yet. I restarted and "checked for updates" but still nothing yet.

Yeah, I take about 7 pictures a year I'd say, so I never noticed it before

That's the way YT renders resolutions from an upload. 360p first, then the others become available after YT processes it in the background and strips out all the quality, so that it streams better

Colleague in work bought one of these today in Vodafone and it's unlocked running on Eir no problems.

Any sign of any Google Home Minis? The terms of the offer seems to suggest that they will be issued within 28 days of applying which is approaching in the next week or so I think. Looking forward to playing around with it.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're never delivered.....

Ended up buying one of there this morning, was going to go for the Honor 10 but they're sold out and are locking the bootloader.

Have to say, it's a lovely phone.
Just signed up for the Google Mini as well.
I have an Echo and Echo Dot here but I'm sure I'll find some use for it

I picked I've of these up from Three yesterday.
Seems like a lovely phone, and I'm looking forward to installing Android P on it in the coming days.

Forty euro cheaper unlocked PAYG from Vodafone though so that's the best way of acquiring one IMO.

P is only in Beta at the minute, as I'm sure you know.

I'm not sure about others, but for me, I couldn't get wifi to turn on and the lock screen said Emergency Calls Only, even though I had a network connection and could make calls and texts!
Just a bit of a heads up, so that you are prepared for bugs.

I came back to 8.1 after a few hours, and I had to get help from XDA, it was a pain in the hole

iggy

Tried two Vodafone shops in town today and no stock.

Wanted one for tomorrow.
