Buk, 04 May 2018What is the best music player for Nokia 6Buk, I'm not sure how kindly the powers that be takes off topic discussions. Anyhow, I'll try.

What is "the best" app varies greatly, mainly from user to user (as there are no major device specific limitations/requirements with apps). For me "the best" app is such that does the job well __and__ does not require potentially dangerous permissions. That most often limits the selection into apps that are published as true/honest Freeware, Open Source, under GPL or such. For me this is purely a question of security, not at all about the price (I donate for such apps when that option is available). In case no such app are available then I prefer Payware over Adware (to the extent that I do not have any Adware apps installed) because the Adware apps are in my opinion the least secure (and Ads are very distracting).

I have the following players installed: DJD Player by Mikael Ståldal, and Musicolet Music Player by Krosbits and VLC for Android by Videolabs. They are all "the best" for me.

    MikeN, 03 May 2018No gallery option? You mean to view your photos and videos?... moreIndeed, and in general: The Nokia 6 has all the same software and all the same settings that phones sold under the brand name Google, for example. Note that the MO of the OP is rather characteristic, first some vague mumble and nonsensical "irritation" or "disappointment", and then the main payload is at the end of last sentence. A sad attempt of misinformation distribution or a mental retaliation strike.

    It is interesting to see the impact of the Nokia 6 (as well as the whole Nokia line) on the superheated market where Google and all the other phone manufacturers a doing their best to persuade the users to buy a new very expensive phone after every 6 months. Now as the Nokia 6 (international version) has been on the market for the duration of nearly one year already, it still is more new phone than many of the competitors models that only feature Andoid OS v.7.1 or v.8.0. Nokia 6 has Andoid OS v.8.1.

                I don't have much of the 3rd party apps. I am coming from windows phone, so I don't have much debt. I use mobile only for calling and some browsing. Which are all handled by the bundled apps. The only app I installed is authenticator.
                I have good knowledge in electronic gadgets and mobiles to the point that I am the go-to guy for buying decisions.
                I am not deliberately bashing, as you can understand from my previous post where I have highlighted the pros of this phone as well as hinted that the cons are solved via latest updates.
                The reason I mentioned that issue is because when I bought this phone I recommend my colleague to buy this too. He too got the loudspeaker not working issue and he got fed up and sold it. That's why I wanted to inform prior to buying.

In __extremely__ rare cases, that are due to component/hardware failures, it can be a real issue, and sometimes major, as an example the case where some ppm of the delivered batteries explodes (note: it is not necessarily the battery product that has such a random fault).

                              Obviously a software bug very very rarely is random by nature, so when one user is affected by a software bug then all user are affected __very similarly__.

                              Now then, when very many users reports about a specific (very similar) issue, then it likely is real issue, but not necessarily a major issue.

                              Currently the situation with Dolby Atmos option is a minor real issue, it affects to the level of sound volume of ringtones/notifications, videos and music, but not to the volume level of phone calls. The bypass for this minor issue is to switch the Dolby enhancement to OFF, this makes it possible to use the phone without irritatingly loud notification and entertainment volume levels. I'm a music aficionado so to me personally the current issue with Dolby Atmos sound enhancement is somewhat a "big deal" but practically, in the reality, it is just a minor issue and therefore I do not jump from forum to forum lunging out about my "disappointment" daily. Because most of the players apps that I use have a built-in equalizer that provides quite similar tone adjustment.

                              Yes, I do follow the community forum (and several other Nokia 6 and Android forums) daily but I no longer post to the Nokia community forum anything because I have other things to do than to write directly into the sensors waste bin.

                                      This is also a lie: "Currently one of the two loudspeakers is not working after 8.1 update"

                                      There is a real issue in Android 8 updates with volume level of ringtone and/or media (that is videos and songs, not with the volume of phone calls). That issue is related to the Dolby Atmos audio enhancement and is not limited to just Nokia 6 (or Nokia phones in general), the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. appears to be geared towards irritatingly loud volume levels: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dolby+atmos+volume+too+%28weak+OR+loud+OR+hiss%29&ia=web

                                        Check for the latest models. I would advise not to go blindly for brand name. See if the model matches your requirements and then the manufacturers software update/patch support and warranty support.
                                        I have Nokia 6 and in my opinion is a good mobile, little costly for its tech specs, but it's build quality is awesome. Display is better than others in its price range, and it recieve regular updates - security patches around the first half of every month and upgrades in around 4 months.
                                        Face few issues like alarm not working, heading etc during the initial updates which were resolved in subsequent updates. Currently one of the two loudspeakers is not working after 8.1 update, which I think is resolved at service centres by software update, as per online forums.
