It just automatically receives calls and text msgs if you have a working sim card with a good enough carrier signal. Check if you have deactivated the second sim card from the settings.

Scooby, 29 Nov 2018Hi All,
I hope everyone face this issue after the updates.... moreI rarely use the default Nokia camera, but once i read your issue i tried using it. But seems like it's the other way around. Once you take a selfie, it shows the real view of it,not the mirror image. Think, if you have a birthmark on you left cheek, and once you take a selfie, birthmark will be on the photo's left cheek. (in a mirror, the birthmark will appear on the right cheek)
And yes, seems like we can't choose between the mirror and the real image.

Hi All,
I hope everyone face this issue after the updates. When u take photos with front camera. U get the mirror images and we don't have any option to change it in settings... We need to use the app. Even with the app sometimes. I recently noticed it however, I am using it since 7 months no other issue. How can get it fixed... @Nokia... Please fix this issue.. Sometimes its pathetic we get mirror image. I think even for the back cam. Don't remember. Need to check again. If anyone else facing this issue, please raise this concern to Nokia so that they can change it with the new updates..
And battery as everyone says I don't get a complete day if I am using it heavily.(no heavy games). just max 7 hours with overall function
. I don't know when they will fix that
Rest this phone is a beast.

With this type of behaviour it is quite clear their is a defect display and the device should have been taken back, crying here about how you own a defective device it ain't gonna help you much... so i consider it?

The display, it's a bigger 18:9, yet FHD panel vs a smaller 16:9 QHD pixel denser panel. So yeah it's a tough call, and seems in your opinion Nokia 8 is the clear winner.
Well add to that list, audio department on Nokia 8 is also better than 7 plus since 8's sporting a 24bit 192kHz deck compared to 7 plus's ordinary headphone jack. And also the ip54 splash resistance. And also the phone is more pocket friendly sized.
Hmmm... could you do something like, exchanging the brand new 7 plus to a brand new Nokia 8 from a retail shop(from an authorized dealer) , i think now Nokia 8 is much cheaper than the 7 plus?

No comparison between the two.

First it had three 3-4mm gray squares in specific locations on screen, with a very thin vertical blue line from each square pointing towards the top or bottom of the screen.
Then shortly after unlocking, the screen would show three vertical bands black/white/black that take over the screen over a period of 5 seconds after unlocking.
Then only showed half the top status bar garbled.
Then total blackout - a black screen.

Did the screen get spoi... moreFirst three gray squares (about 3-4mm each) appeared in specific locations on screen, with one very thin vertical blue line originating from each square and pointing towards the upper or lower edges of the screen. Then it got worse with the screen displaying three vertical bands of equal size (black / white / black) shortly after the phone is unlocked (5 seconds), then half the top status bar (garbled) with the rest of the screen black, then no display at all. The deterioration occurred over a period of a week or so.
The phone was never dropped or been subjected to liquid spills. It looks as if it had just been unpacked from its box.

Lens is clean right? If the problem persists, you'd have to visit a Nokia care center

So yeah, i think it's a great deal. Device is snappy and smooth. Recommend installing Google Camera for better photo quality. Buy under warranty :)

Nick 20, 24 Nov 2018Less than 6 months after purchase, the display of my Nokia ... moreI don not think the Nokia 7 plus is inferior. It's a really solid device. Snapdragon 660 is the only downgrade (well it depends on your usage - snapdragon 660 is equilant to snapdragon 821 as i heard). Batery life wife, 7 plus is a better choice. And the display, you're getting a 18:9 panel and a marginally better camera. And you'll receive android Q which you won't receive on Nokia 8.
They're replacing it with a Nokia 7 plus because, Nokia 8 is no longer in production (i think). If you're comfortable using a 6 inch device, Nokia 7 plus is pretty much better than Nokia 8 right now, specially because of the camera.
Review your options after contacting Nokia, if you do not want a 7 plus, try asking them to replace the display or if there's no other option, 7 plus is a great device. (my opinion)

Less than 6 months after purchase, the display of my Nokia 8 (which I use only for data, it sits on a stand on my desk 99% of the time) progressively degraded to the point where it no longer displayed anything. Contacted Nokia Support who requested that I take it back to the point of purchase for repair under warranty. It has never been dropped (which would leave indelible marks on the outside of the phone) or been subject to liquid spills. It has no external signs of any wear and tear.
Took their advice, and brought it to the nearest authorized service center.
i) They claimed they do not repair, they replace;
ii) They will not replace it under warranty (they charge US$ 50); and
iii) To add insult to injury, they want to replace it with an inferior Nokia 7 Plus.
I complained by e-mail to Nokia Support, who ten days after receiving my initial complaint, and a reminder did not even bother responding.
Anyone with a remedy recommendation?
