IQ200, 01 Apr 2023Hey Carol. Speaking of Chinese hardware and what HMD is ... moreOh no, again this false and stupid argument that HMD is Chinese, that they just slap a Nokia logo on a Chinese phone. I swear there is a certain sect of people who religiously believe in this lie and spread it for whatever reason. I am tired of disproving this. Which Chinese manufacturer makes easily repairable phones like Nokia G22? Which Chinese manufacturer makes phones from recycled materials like Nokia G60 and Nokia X30? Which Chinese maker has a phone tougher than Nokia XR21? What about Nokia phones manufactured in Vietnam and India? Haven't you read the news that Nokia will soon produce phones in Europe again? Just because Nokia got tired of their old design language and moved their cameras in the top corner similar to Chinese makers doesn't mean anything. Most makers have cameras in the top corner, even Samsung. When you buy a Nokia / HMD phone money goes to a parent Nokia as well, via patent money, which means you are actually supporting the real Finnish Nokia. And when you consider that HMD is also Finnish, it means by buying a Nokia phone you support two Finnish companies instead of one.

First take a look at the SIM, call your carrier for help, they might just have some problems with their 5G antennas. Givint the fact that 5G is quite prone to not working. Even a growing Tree crown, (after winter) can cause the 5G signal to stop.

I wanted a cheap 5g phone and this was good to start with - but it no longer connects to the network. Practically useless for my purposes now. Nokia was excellent until driven to bankruptcy, bought out and shut down by MS

IQ200, 01 Apr 2023Hey Carol.
Speaking of Chinese hardware and what HMD is ... moreThe devices are manufactured in China, but are designed by hmd OY not by somekind of ODM in China. You just described a part of a typical ODM product, you tell me then, another device that is exactly like 6.1, 7.2, x20, x30, g60, 9PV and so on and has another brand slapped on it? There are chinese "brands" that steal parts of design language (well, all of them do that), that is something else, and does not mean, just because there are similarities in devices, that they are all made by the same ODM. If you claim that, then you do not understand what you have just written.
What does fast charging to do with anything? And why would hmd not be able to use it?
Fairphone has a minimun charging of 20w and sell 30w chargers, i am pretty sure, that those chargers also charge the device at 30w. Don't tell me, they are also made by ODM just because they are manufactured in China? The charging power gives it all up.
The design language in their devices it is actually quite consistent, and first two languages, were actually pure Nokia design, or better said, old nokia design language.
From their first phone in 2017 (the nokia 6) to 2019 they constantly used the same design language with minor changes here and there, in their important Series 5, 6, 7, 8. Hack even the really cheap ones had more or less the same language.
In end 2019 they release their first change in design (letting nokia 9PV out, because that device is at another level) and started with rounded cameras (Nokia 7.2 and 6.2). This went all the way up till 2021 and "officially" endet with Nokia xr20. Inbetween they were using the same "2017" design language for really cheap devices. After 2021 till date, they started to introduce this "modern design" which i do not really like, while here and there still releaseing some "round camera" design devices. Now they are all in the "modern design" with all their devices. They are actually more consistent in their design then Nokia ever was. In this department, NOKIA the company was way more creative....well before the smartphone became a slab.

Speaking of Chinese hardware and what HMD is offering us. Tell me please, who makes phones for HMD Global? Who produce and design them? I'm waiting.
As far as I know in the past that used to be Foxconn and in that era Nokia branded phones were really premium quality build using only "western" doctrine of doing things and using the same quality components, even they were lagging behind in choosing the chipset, but their build and choice of components were like in ol' good days of Nokia oyj. What about now? Do you actually believe you are not helping Chinese economy with buying an ODM devices from HMD Global? Sure, everything made in China will help their economy, and in this moment most of things are still being produced in China but we need to recognise the difference beetwen OEM and ODM.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)
Since the ODM designed the product, it owns the “rights” to it. Example: Consumer electronics like phone cases and CHARGERS are examples of ODM-created products, which are more common in the food industry (think of the term “generic” and “store brand”).
There are a ton of generic models and companies just slap their logo on it and sell them globaly as a brand new device. I respect your principles, but ironically while you think you're going in different direction you're actually not.
One example just for the sake of argument. HMD Global Nokia devices are using a 33W "fast" charging. Now, tell me which "Western" brand use anything above 30W, except Samsung's own adversited 45W? None! So how can HMD Global use it? Google to find out.
That could be the reason why we see so many different aproaches of HMD Global for designing their phones. There isn't any streamline in their offerings, they all have different design language as they are all from different brand (because reallity isn't far from the truth).
I really loved the "real Nokia" but this "Nokia" with HMD Global is just a beating a dead horse with a stick while squising the last drop of money of Nokia "naive" fans, at least for me. Fairphone is way better in all regards you mentioned and you find important. Apple is not easy to love because they have their own unique operative system and the whole eco-system with it, so they can charge higher prices because loved it or hate it, noone has what they have.
Cheers!

Carol, 01 Jan 2023I told you more then once, the 6 GB limitation is not true,... moreread an article it's Google official system requirements for the software.
6gb ram needed
installation of Android os on unfit hardware specs results end badly ever time
It's just manufacturs cut corners everywhere even instill a os on ill suited hardware just safe few pennies and hit lower price point
They could just choose a older version of Android or androidgo but rather do the installation of full android 12 os on unsupported hardware specs

Anonymous, 14 Aug 2022Sounds like you have been lucky, or perhaps I was unlucky. ... moreYou should have replaced it. When i bought my nokia 9 it had the pixel retention problem, because of that, i gave it back and received another. 3 and a half years later, the screen is still great. Yeah, you had no luck, but that does not mean, that you need to keepit like this. Butof course, if the screen is not the only thing that bothers you, well, you can give it back and buy something else...
