Hi guys, I just got the N7.1 last week, with Android 10 already on it (December update). Both are new for me, so I have no idea if these are Nokia or Android issues, but hopefully you can help me:
1) Ring volume is very loud! Even the lowest setting is still way louder than I've ever had before. Is this normal?
2) On Mario Kart Tour the sound is awful. Even on low volumes the game produces a loud crackling sound. Might be very game specific, but it's the only one I play atm
3) On the lock screen the upperleft corner of the statusbar shows the carrier. When you go to home screen this changes to clock. Quite often the carrier 'sticks' and also shows on home screen. I then have to go back and forth a bit to get the clock back.
4) Not always, but like 80% of the time, when I unlock the phone directly with my fingerprint, the home screen will show. This sounds quite normal, but I mean that it minimizes any app I was working with / had open while the lock went on. I've never had this behaviour before: it used to just go back to the app I was using.
5) Sometimes I get some serious lag while typing, until now I only notice this in message boxes on forums, like the one I'm typing in right now. During typing the letters stop appearing and everything seems to freeze. Then when I hide/lower the keyboard on my phone, the typed letters appear instantly and I can continue.
Cheers!
There are many bugs in the Android 10 update Nokia released. There are multiple topics about them in the Nokia 7.1 subforums. I know audio issues with games and other apps is one of them. As far as I can tell, Nokia has not acknowledged these bugs (even on their own forums) and there is no ETA on fixes.
I now see some reports of crackling sound, but do you guys have the other issues as well? There are a lot of annoying bugs!!
Yes!
All the other issues you face are common. The loud ring volume you acknowledged is common too and i too, face it and get disturbed by it too
The crackling sound you get in games is common too.

I've had a couple of units (I had to return the first unit because of a possible 'dust under the screen'-issue). But the first unit that I had, and that I returned, was quicker overall, especially on the screen rotation. It was especially noticeable when sliding out the keyboard from the home screen and then press '1' in the popup launch menu: whereas my first unit would launch the SMS app almost instantly with no spinning wheel, my current unit brings up the spinning wheel and takes about 2-3 sec before opening the SMS app.
I did some investigating and pinned down the problem to the screen rotation: it doesn't launch the SMS until it has finished rotating the screen, and since the rotation is slower overall, it brings up the spinning wheel.
My first unit blew me away overall with its speed. My second unit is generally quick, but that's it. I've also read at least one review stating that his phone was very slow, as if the CPU was constantly working.
FWIW, my ROM version is 1.14.402.0 (unfortunately I didn't check this on my first unit), and the radio version is 0.24.30.24.
So how quick are your phones, especially on the screen rotation and opening up the SMS app from the quick launch menu?
mine is 1.14.407.1
The phone is very fast switching between V to H (if there are no application running) and it takes ~2 sec to enter sms
switching between H to V is slower...
You have a slightly newer ROM.
Anyone else who cares to share their what ROM version they're running?
My ROM is 1.14.401.1. I notice short lag when switching between landscape and portrait, but it's short enough to not bother me.
My rom is 1.14.404.0. Works perfect, no lags in menus.
Anyone problems with the gps? Mine doesn't get a fix. Resetted three times to factory defaults and now working. Hopefully it stays working

No problem with the GPS. On the contrary it gets a fix within seconds even indoors. Might be an issue with nav-software (I use Garmin XT).
I edited my home screen by removing the missed calls (you get the missed call icon in the status bar anyway), mail (don't use it), getting started, and the weather app (quite useless given that it doesn't show the current weather on the home screen), hoping for a speed improvement in the screen rotation. Now it's subjectively a little faster, not by much but enough to make it worthwhile.
Hi there,
Firstly I'm new to this forum and it's great to be here.
Recently I've unlocked a Novogo device - T700. It has iGO6 in it and I replaced it with iGO8.
There was a problem that the software was muted (there was not sound at all), but I fixed it by enabling screen-taps sound in the Sound settings in WinCE CP.
But now the problem is that it makes sound only after I tap on the screen, for example it starts navigating through the route, and when it shows me to turn right (for example) it does not say it, only if I tap on the screen (doesn't matter what point of the screen). Let's say I'm approaching a square, it doesn't say anything, but when I click on something on the screen then it says "square in front of you", even if I've already passed that square. That's really annoying.
Thanks in advance
hmm, bump...
Hey all,
I'm experiencing a strange touchscreen phenomenon. I'm rooted and was previously using xtrSense. Recently I switched to xtrROM and while I LOVE so much about this ROM, I have been experiencing some touchscreen issues that arise with increasing intensity and are making my experience with this phone increasingly frustrating. I seem to encounter dead parts of the screen; consistent areas where the touch screen becomes unresponsive or acts strange.
Examples:
Keyboard - There are consistent letters that just will not recognize when I press them or can only be accessed by starting on one letter and then sliding over the the one I want, e.g. the L and M in landscape, the V, I and caps toggle in portrait. Other things go in and out as well, i.e. the sensitivity of touching one letter. There are times when the keyboard just wont consistently settle on one letter when I try and select one.
Other buttons - I am consistently having issues selecting buttons in gmail, like the OK button on a pop-up window. I have to play the rotate my screen game to get the button to work. Also, the OK button in the window of many SENSE programs, like alarm clock and mail. I press in the area of the button all over and I get nothing, but the CANCEL button right next to it work without fail.
I do have other screwy touch screen issues at times as well, e.g. my home, back, menu buttons won't respond, or will think they're part of what is displayed on the touch screen. I also on occasion have bizarre issue switch the LP dock. It won't find it's home and will constantly shutter between two rows.
The question is, has anyone else experienced this, either with the ROM and/or LauncherPro? I'm going to be re-flashing the ROM, and maybe even loading up some other ROMs to see if that alleviates the issue, but I wanted to first see if before I go through this if anyone has been through it before and can impart some hard-earned knowledge. I've tried to do some digging on the forums but didn't find much of anything.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

I have not had this experience at all. I used to use both xtrSENSE and xtrROM for several months, although I currently use FroShedYo. It frankly sounds like a hardware issue.
Just to eliminate the possibility, you could 1) do a fresh FULL wipe and flash of xtrROM, 2) go back to xtrSENSE or even better restore a nandroid of your xtrSENSE from before and verify if the problem still persists, or 3) try a completely different new ROM just to see what happens.
If the problem still happens on other ROMs, which I'm very sure it will, then you will know it's a hardware issue and if your phone is either still under warranty or you pay for insurance, then I would exchange it for another Eris.
Yeah, I figured as much. Like I said I am going to do some ROM work, but it may come to admitting that the hardware may be going bad.
Thanks for the reply.
PS GO BUCKS!
I'm really enjoying this phone when it is running smoothly but it seems that inconsistent behaviours are happening that is kind of annoying, anyone else having any of these following issues?
1) When the display turns off and I tap the power button to turn on the display it goes right to my home menu and skips my password and lock page.
2) Some songs and videos it will say are not compatible, even though they are mp3 and mp4's and I have watched them numerous times prior.
3) the app icons on my home screen don't have there own unique images they just have the default white background with the green droid icon. (not a huge deal just weird)
4) when composing a message and choosing who to send it to normally I could type in the start of the last name "smi" for ex: and it would bring up Mike Smith for an option, now it only finds people by there first name so I would have to type "Mike" (again not a huge deal just odd)
Overall they are not deal breakers by any means, just a little annoying and odd.

1. I usually have this issue. I just restart the phone to fix it. It does get real annoying though.
2. I never listen to music on the phone so I don't know.
3. Never had that happen.
4. I have that issue as well. Don't have a solution.
Hi, I got my phone this morning and no doubt its a very good phone, but...
Is anyone else having trouble with the speech recognition. When I speak into it the mic graphic seems to indicate it's getting good pickup, but then the waveform it displays after is very flat and the recognition accuracy is very poor indeed.
Also I'm finding the capacitive buttons very unresponsive.
Any hints or tips?
I don't use speech recognition so can't help you there but I agree the capacitive buttons are a pain. I find a firmer press or a slight slide upwards works best. You do get more used to them the longer you use the phone but for me they are the biggest niggles on an otherwise fantastic device.
Remove the screen protector that came with the phone from the capacitive keys.
They should get way responsiver after that.
I was wondering as well if removing screen potector would increase capacitive buttons responsiveness. Anybody tested it already, or is changing screen protector in near future?
I use the voice recognition all the time. Do you have a weird accent?
For the buttons:
Have you tried just swiping them from the transparent bar up?
After I started doing that I had no issues, and they respond just fine. If you want to just do the touch method, aim for between the screen and the silver dots, but I find the swiping method easier and it's a no-fail way
The voice recognition:
Only used it a few times, and only on my X10, haven't tested it on the S yet.
I have 2 problems also with the xperia s, the battery life and the unresponsive capacitive buttons. Its really a hassle always thinking if it would register after hitting with your thumbs. Is there really a solution to this? Would the ICS upgrade be of help when it comes out?

No I used to use voice on both my samsung and my htc all the time with no problems.
Actually, this is the first phone that allows me to use speech recognition to call my wife, all other phones failed to do it, so I rated the mic as very good but didn'tell it to the wife...
I don't have any of the niggles with voice recognition or the capacitive button sensitivity (to me they are the same sensitivity as the one's on the galaxy s2 which I got used to). The problems I've experienced so far are -
- Video focus problems
- Audio playback clipping when using google navigation.
Hopefully these are bugs that will be ironed out soon via firmware.
