New firmware update arriving soon, 8107.12070
The following is a compilation of all known fixes & improvements in 12070:
• Battery drain issue has been fixed
• Lack of audio Bass when listening through headsets has been addressed
• Auto-white balance issue with the camera has been fixed
• Hardware buttons backlights are now always illuminated at all available screen brightness levels
• Diagnostics app has been updated to prevent users from receiving misleading technical readouts about their device
So why Nokia continued to say there is no battery bug, I do not know, if they claim that there's a new battery drain issue that has been fixed?
And why do I get the feeling that they've fiddled with the diagnostics to give you the readings you want to see?
Sigh, no tethering still.
Nice. Battery fix, just what I need to make me love my phone again.
Nice to see the lack of bass is going to be fixed! Thats my only gripe with my phone.
You can load the firmware 1270 with Nokia Care Suite.

I still haven't received the previous update... How long will that take? ...
Discharging is almost about one half smaller..on the network, wifi, flying mode etc
May be I would be able to write it will stand the same as HTC Titan
I send you a picture from a really bad conditions so pls forgive the quaility..
Looks nice! Do you know, when it's going to hit the public?
And does it fix audio problem for real? Because some song sounds really bad...

Music sounds a lot better than before
You can simply try vf nz.
I downloaded the 1600.2487.8107.12070 firmware and compared it to another phone I have running the older firmware. Whitebalance (picture quality) is much better, there is more bass in the music (same volume) and the battery drain seems to be cut in 1/2 at idle (as shown by the diagnostic tool).

give me tethering and I'll have one with in 24hrs
i squezed 4.5 days (on edge) out of the battery and i use purity monster in-ear earphones and listen to trance, the highs and lows are crystal clear, like Nokia always promisses. i can't complain much about the bass but i'm waiting desperatly to check out the latest firmware.
I can compare L800 to iP4S and N9. MS should work harder to improve battery life.

Does anyone know what these updates do? They just showed up on my phone today!
Was wondering the same thing. Just got them today.
I can tell you that the sound enhancer does not stop stuttering in video unless it's shut off as the previous.
HTC really needs to tell us what each update is supposed to fix grrr.
Hmmm, I got all of them except the sound enhancher. Lol that's the only one I actually use.
I´ve got all updates. Does anyone know what they improve?!
Same boat here

I was thinking.....these may be updates for Tango. Remember MS said last week or so that 5%of all apps don't work. They said they would contact those publishers and so them how they could reduce the memory the apps use. I've been getting alot of updates the past few days with no changelogs.

Might be, i have not noticed anything new about the update yet.
I also got the updates, hub, camera modes and sound enhancer. No differences noted.
Crazy that HTC releases an update for the sound enhancer that does not fix an issue they are aware of...

I was really hoping it would fix the stutter...but for me, it seemed like the stutter was a little better with sound enchancement on in 360p, but maybe it was just a placebo :/
deleted
I've had so far since the release of Titan (have it 3 weeks post-release)
4 camera updates
2 sound enhancer updates
don't use hub and watch.
The 2nd and 3rd camera updates I think fixed some issues earlier.
But the recent camera update and sound enhancer update - barely shows any difference. However I do notice that the camera brightness is little lower post-update. Anyone notice that? Or is it me feeling a placebo?
Usually as soon as I go for camera my phone used to turn to full-on brightness, now it's like 70-80% brightness, or at least feels so.
About the camera mode brightness, honestly i think it is still the same (100%)
Nokia is rolling out GDR2 update from 15th Aug and in 3days will be covering all countries.
I am tracking news for the big Lumia Amber update which includes Microsoft's GDR2 update too.

Bluetooth v4
FM radio
New Music player
Better notification (backend, great improvement in whatsapp notification etc)
Better battery ( for some 8hrs battery to 16hrs )
Nokia Glance
I am still trying to gather the list. Also can somebody share when will the update be released?

I hope they release GDR2 soon without any bugs like HTC.
Please update your findings from new Amber update.
All the sites are claiming August release now for the update due to a twitter post made by Nokia Spain. I can't wait for the update myself. The whole reason I switched from HTC to Nokia was all the rave about Nokia giving you a reason to stay through quality updates. So the ride has been great so far but it would be nice to have radio back and some of the smart cam features would be lots of fun.
Of course....Nokia Spain's announcement of it may not necessarily mean it's the same for the rest of the world and last month all the sites were saying the update was coming in July.
Hopefully it does come out this month.
The FM Radio is nice to have, yeah. Not sure about SmartCam. I think it's a bit overrated and that you may end up using the stock camera as well (no control over flash, video recording on my Lumia 920 with GDR2).
That said, the update is nice.
I have tryed the euro dev rom with amber and french rom with amber.
I'm from argentina and my phone don't connect 4G, so i went back to my old firmware
Good 4G for me
Using the method that was found on XDA on my ATT and its working great so far, I just got the update for the peak today and now I have wifi tethering so needed that one.
It is said that Amber with GDR2 will release from today, 30 countries and regions included in the first batch, and 3 days later second batch.

Thanks,my friend above!
I can't post with a link even in a quote, and the limit is so strict...
I have Amber installed (by official OTA) for 2 hours, I like all the stuff nokia added to our phone DDDDDDDD
Cant find my way around two features...
The new camera effect that lets me take 10 pictures, how do I use it? And I've been through the full settings list, and cant find anything about the new lock screen (double tap, standby screen, hover hand over to turn it on).
Can anyone confirm if bluetooth 4.0 is present in this update?
Glance. Enable it. Make sure you select "timed" option. Lock device. You'll see the standby clock. Wave hand directly over device. Should be in display + touch in settings. A little reading wouldn't hurt either

Bluetooth 4 is present in this update
Battery life is improved
Whats app and other notification improved
I have a developer device and still waiting for OTA update.
still no update. why does it always last so long?? is anyone still without GDR2??
Finally got it for my unbranded Lumia 920. Those are some very welcome features
I'm currently on MIUI 10 10.0.6.0 and I have my phone region set to United Kingdom but the volume in headphones is 20% lower then if the phones region is set to India
Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed?
Is the same with Italy... too low

First off, thanks for replying
This wasn't an issue on the last MIUI 9 stable ROM but for some reason was introduced on MIUI 10 stable ROM. I just don't get why it's lower for us but not for people who have their phone region set to India. I haven't tried to set my region to any other region apart from my own (United Kingdom) and India
I brought a pair of 1More Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones to go with my phone and was very happy before MIUI 10
I get the feeling no one knows lol
Don't know if this is the reason, but a few years ago the EU set sound level limits on personal music players:
https://blog.mediamusicnow.co.uk/2015/03/23/eu-commission-control-volume-mp3-players-ipods-other-players/
It may be different again now but it would explain things.
If the volume is louder when set to the India phone region it would tend to point to the limitation being in software. I'm sure I've heard of apps that can give you greater than 100% sound level.

Thank you for replying. I would think that was the case if this also happened while running MIUI 9 but it didn't so I can't see that it is.
I do use PowerAMP to listen to music so I guess I'll just have to increase the volume that way but doing so wouldn't that distorts the audio?

I suppose it would depend upon how much you increased it by; you could take the level up to at least of the Indian phone region level. If you can't hear any noticeable distortion at the sound level you feel comfortable with then it's not going to do any harm to anything.

True but it's only a quick fix for audio/MP3 only. Doesn't fix the fact that it also affects audio for videos also.
Please set your region to India and play some music and videos then change it to United Kingdom and play the same music and video again and you can hear how quieter it is

There do seem to be Android apps in the Play Store that claim to increase volume for media, ringtones, etc. I don't know how well they work but it may be worthwhile investigating.

Yeah looks like I'm going to as I just updated to the latest stable pie ROM and the problem is now worse than what it is.
If anyone is reading this I recommended you stay well away from the Stable Pie ROM at all costs
Before everyone gets their S22+, it would be nice for those who have the S22+ to share bugs here. Pre-ordered an S22+!
Question: What bugs have you been facing with your S22+? Do you think they are hardware/software issues?
When surfing in Chrome and Google, the screen turns off, turns completely black, and you have to slowly swipe your finger back to turn it on.
Bluetooth does not work on Renault R-link 2. It is constantly disconnected.
Bluetooth connection to the Jabra Talk 30 does not always work smoothly.
Faceunlock is a disaster, almost unusable.
And scrolling the screen is jerky in most cases, incredibly bad.
So far I have used Xiaomi MI 10 and after switching I am not happy.
I hope the first update will fix some problems.
Amazing to know about this.

I dont have any of this bugs
My only big issue is Google play services drains battery xD the rest all good, no big bugs, camera awesome, BT also
When I tap the lower half back of the phone, it feels like a spring. I think the vibration motor might be too loose. Does this happen to anyone else?
Received mine two days ago - no problems yet. The fingerprint scanner is way better than the S20, but face recognition is still unreliable.
I was impressed with the Samsung Smartswitch app that wirelessly copied everything from my S20 and set it up exactly as it was - apps, settings, alarms, custom sounds, themes, screen layouts, widgets, and wallpapers.
I'm facing an issue in the Samsung's version of Google Messages. Grouping does not seem to work for me at all. I tried clearing the app cache and rebooting as well. Not a huge problem, but still worth mentioning.
Been using it for only a few days now, and I'm very happy with the performance. Coming from an S10 with Exynos, it sure feels much snappy with a Snapdragon.
The biggest issue/bug of that phone is battery... I don't really get it, why SOT is so embarrassing... :| Other things are brilliant, but because of battery i'm loosing every inch of pleasure with using this phone... :|

I'm not sure... Year after year there is more preinstalled applications in this phones :| Samsung app + Samsung Dex, Google Apps, Microsoft Apps... Hardware is great i don't doubt it, but software is too overloaded in my opinion and they obviously aren't able to control it somehow :|
Dex is a nice feature, but samsung free, facebook services and other preinstalled stuff that don't really contribute are annoying

Yes, that's ture. I agree, Samsung Dex is nice feature. I hope, that next update will change something positively in SOT I really like this phone, but until it happend i'm a little disapointed because of Smartphone for that price ;D
Update: My battery issues are related to either mobile data or location services. I only used my phone at home and connected to wifi for a day and my maximum SOT per 100% doubled!

Hi Everyone,
I'm in Canada and thinking of picking up the GT 2 Pro (global version) from a local store.
Currently on the Fido network and was wondering:
1. Is anyone having any issues connecting to this carrier? Or any other Canadian carrier?
2. Are there issues updating to Android 13 (comes installed with A12)?
3. Does WiFi connect/disconnect?
4. Should I stay away from this phone and look at something else?
tia
I'm on Freedom, no issues, except no VoLTE available (might be just a carrier thing).
It's cheaper to get Chinese version and flash Global.
Netflix may not work due to Widevine L3 (at least on chinese).
Thanks Quake.
So no issues with dropped calls or wifi cutting in/out?
Are you on A13?
I can get the global version for around $840 CAD

No issues, it's a solid phone. I've had it since summer last year. I'm on A.13 C.12. Check Kimovil.com or other website for full specs on modem bands.
Realme has been pretty good with updates and fixing bugs, they have been releasing updates approx. every month.
Double check current warranty policy. When I bought mine, Realme did not support Canadian/US market.
If you have more cash, you might want to consider Galaxy for better warranty and popularity.

1. I dont know (living in EU)
2. Nope, smooth update, without bugs.
3. Nope, wifi works great (2,4 GHz and 5GHz on WiFi6, WiFi 5 and 4 also OK) for long distances (better than any other phone I've had).
4. This phone is a good deal if you buy it at a reasonable price ($840 CAD is OK) - good cooling system (SD8 gen 1 is disaster in many phones), 3 mayor Android updates, fast charging, SOT 8-9 hours, nice OS (easy to clean), nice display.
Some may be disappointed by the lack of wireless charging and no IPxx (rain and moisture are no problem).
Thank you guys for the feedback.
It's weird that some people are having issues with this phone (i.e. battery drain, wifi/carrier connections, etc). I guess it depends on the ROM????

That's the only explanation I have. I've been using the European rom since day one, and 0 problems (A12, A13, all OK...).
My experience: Mobile data, Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC are fine, no problems. The battery could last more SOT 6,5 hours during two days of use.
I switched from HTC U12+ and I am satisfied.I only changed the launcher, but that's just a matter of taste.

Maybe competitors testing the phone
Some of the issues I have encountered:
1. Low volume on USB-C to 3.5mm adapter -> workaround is to set automatic run of a shell command via Tasker to adjust gain (needs root)
2. Stock camera app isn't color-accurate -> fixed with GCam
3. Some of preloaded Oppo/Realme apps can be annoying -> remove via adb or root app manager
4. Google assistant's read/reply to message while driving function is broken for me - not sure if this is Realme-specific or a common issue. GA will read message, but stop listening for reply.
5. No official free recovery flash tool available. Current EDL flash tool is one-time token based, so you need to pay someone (like $5) to unlock it, in case of a brick.

- Don't expect 8-9 hours SOT, some users claim to get that but most user can't get near this....5-6 maximum is what you should expect from it.
- stock camera sucks, specially for videos, if you not into using gcam and other apps for photos and videos specially if you use the front camera think twice. If you ok using gcam and, mcpro24fps for example you can get good results.
- screen doesn't seem to match the specs advertised, brightness doesn't seem the advertised and touch sampling rate is advertised at 1000hz but it only reach 125hz.
- if you want to play with flashing the device there is no oficial free tool to flash it in case something goes wrong, so in case you get a brick you gonna have to pay a ramdom stranger to access you PC via TeamViewer and flash it for you, and you gonna pay for it.
- don't expect any custom rom for this device.
- snap 8gen1 is power hungry and likes to throttle, but that's not a Realme only problem...
Those are the problems I can remember right now.
