Hi,
I am seriously considering returning this. Its so nearly great but my unit is suffering from the following:
1. Stuck on Android 8 and Feb update. See seperate thread.
2. Touch screen touch sensitivity has some real issues. Scrolling around will occasionally "jump" or reverse direction briefly. I see this a lot on cheaper Android devices.
3. The default notification sound is a ringtone that goes on for 20 seconds approx. I have to change this for every type of notification for every app.. Its maddening.
4. Camera is... meh. Good for the price, but a long way off the top tier.
5. Auto brightness isnt good. Changes too fast, too often. Its all over the place.
UPDATE! 6. Developer Options seem totally broken. Settings dont persist or they do and the UI doesn't remember selections. What a mess.
NOTE - there are lots of positives, but these are well covered elsewhere.
All in all... this feels like any other cheap-ish Android phone. Needs updates, and dont kid yourself that this is the bargain of the century. Its good value, but its clear where compromises have been made.
Lot of bluetooth issues with 8.1. Sound is lagging when paired to my Sony WH-1000XM2. Other devices might loose connection after a while and needing to be re-paired.

2. Is the touchscreen a software issue?
3. Surely there has to be a better way of dealing with this notification ringtone? - Anyone got any ideas?

For 3, I may have solved this myself - there is a default notification sound option which can be changed from the 20 (approx) seconds ringtone. I changed this and still got 1 of the long notifications, but the rest were normal.
As for 2), hopefully this is a software issue. The touch panel has a firmware version which is why I am so keen to get the 8.1 update (as it *may* have a newer version?) as mine is stuck on older software.
I have problems over several apps:
- Instagram no sound in stories
- Snapchat video quality is very very poor and pixilated
- Camera Zoom in Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp sometimes works and sometimes not.
- Stock Camera app, sometimes there are glitches when the camera is switching from wide to tele in lowlight.
- Playstore and Recent apps window sometimes lags
Anyone else experiencing those bugs?

I just checked your first 3 issues, I don't have any of them. I didn't notice any glitches with the camera either yet, but I haven't tested it that much. Only thing is the lag when switching between recent apps, Playstore works fine though. Maybe try and clear the cache of the apps you have problems with? Or maybe you didn't update them?

i just found out that my instagram audio is not working when i have my phone in vibration mode instead of ringing mode, although media volume is on max.
As soon as i change into ringing mode the sound in my instastories is working! Should be a software bug, but not sure if from instagram or nokia.
EDIT: are you able to do a smooth zooming in snapchat or only "1 step"? Because after reinstalling the app i was able to fully zoom in, exactly how i am used to it. Afterwards i started the stock camera app tapped the x2 button to zoom in. Then when i went back to snapchat i was only able to zoom "1 step" like i would press the x2 button in the camera app, instead of a continuous zoom.
My volume key temporary disabled after use instagram or some local apps. Uninstall TalkBack help me this. You guys who had trouble with sound should try.
I can agree to some of these issues.
The most annoying by far is the auto brightness. Sometimes when I unlock the phone it turns the brightness all the way down, even when I'm outside. Makes the screen all but unreadable. More interesting is that it makes the adjustment even though the auto-adjustment is turned off.
The bluetooth sound is choppy sometimes.
No complaints on the screen or the camera from me.

Infact uninstalling talkback and a few other useless apps solved my instagram problem with no audio in the stories! Thanks for that hint. :good:

yeah, the auto brightness does not work as good as it should. Just had a 2 hours call with a bluetooth headset and everything was just fine! Maybe you could try a different protocol in the developer settings for bluetooth codec?
Hey everyone !
I received my N7P a few days ago and i noticed that everytime i record a video, this message pops up : "OZO audio is deactivated".
I live in France and this the European model.
Do you have the same problem ?
I noticed that they also removed the face unlock. Any news on that ?
Thanks for the support guys ! :good:

Hey, I am curious about how the WH-1000XM2 sounds in nokia 7 plus. Is it better or worse than your other devices except for the lag?
I'm in the UK, just the received the phone and am also stuck with the 8.0 + Feb security patch. It's saying I'm up to date.
Also, is anyone else's system storage taking up 14GB? Should it be that big? It's already using 22% before I've even installed an app. Tried a factory reset and same thing.

After updating to pie the aod shows the charging status & estimated time on the bottom that to in white font & it is not moving
It can cause screen burn plz forward this to Samsung offical as it is a serious issue

You realize you can change the AOD to Tap to Display, so it's not always lit up. Or if you typically charge the phone overnight like me, you can schedule AOD to oy turn on during the day.
But if i charge overnight it will be there for the whole night . As it in white & it doenst move so it can cause screen burn very easily.
& i like to have aod on all the time

Then that is the risk you take. If you don't want it to burn in, then change it to tap to display or turn AOD off while charging.
Sir it was not like that before so it must be bug . As it not suppose to be there . They know that if you want that info to be there then it has to move .
Turning off is not solution to it

It's not a bug, it's a design decision from Samsung. You have the solution, so whether you choose to implement it or not is up to you. Glad I could help and have a great day!!
Its not there in note 9 or s9 or any other phone then why would they add the feature in 2 year old that to in new system update. Its common sense.
& using aod is just tap to show is not the sol. If they wanted that then the same thing will be there in note 9 or s9 .
Have you tried factory resetting your phone? Sometimes OS changes can cause bugs.
Or did you try clearing the AOD data and cache?
I would do a factory reset and see. (I think Samsung will tell you the same thing to make sure it's a bug and not a corrupted file from the OS update. )
Use the Samsung plus app to report the bug or Samsung's own forum where they monitor.
We at xda can only give you some ideas to try but we can't fix it because we don't work for Samsung and this is not a Samsung company forum.
It's a good idea to always reset the phone for new OS upgrades.
Let us know after the factory reset if the bug is still there.
Yes sir,
i have tried cleaning app date thing but it still the same . Also i have reported it to Samsung lets see if they reply . In Meantime i was just pointing it out here so if any one can help or any 1 is having the same prob can comment on it.

Incorrect. It is also present on my Note 9 running official Pie. I'll check my wife's S9+ after it updates to Pie, but I bet it's on there as well.
Again, it's NOT a bug. What it is, is a design decision you don't like. You can turn off AOD to avoid the burn-in. You can set it to tap to display.
I'm telling you how to fix your problem, but you are so determined you are correct, and you aren't. It is not a bug it is a feature of Pie.
Again, its NOT just the Note 8. I have in my hands right now a Note 9 running N960USQU1CSAA and the charging percentage and estimated time to charge appear on the AOD when the Note 9 is on the charger.

Have a look at this thread here. This person posted a screenshot of the official changelog for the Pie update. If you scroll down the screenshot a tiny bit, you will see information about the AOD and it explicitly states the charging information has been added. Like Mr. Orange keeps trying to tell you, Samsung did it intentionally, just like they did other things on the Pie update that people don't like. If you don't like it, find a way to work around it, or go back to Oreo. Those are your options.
Ok got it they have added it .
But if i want aod alwyas is there any way around to be safe frome this ?
as its not moving like other fonts & also it in white

Well, you're not supposed to leave your device on charge for 6 hours at a time, anyway. You're not supposed to leave your device on charge over night. Ideally you would only charge it for an hour or two at a time, and even then, during that time you would be using your device at least once or twice, turning it on, thereby not leaving the AOD the only thing on the screen for that entire duration. And, even if you didn't use your phone while it's charging, it's very dim and not on full brightness, so the chances of it burning in that short duration is a lot lower.

You can't have both I guess. I wanted a Jeep Wrangler but also wanted to get 30 miles per gallon. Not possible. So I sacrificed gas mileage for a vehicle I enjoy driving.
You want AOD on all the time, but you don't want the charging status to show while you're charging it. You can't have both. So you will either have to shut off AOD while charging or risk screen burn-in I guess.
https://openkirin.net/ the first asop rom is here! i just installed it and seems very fast , you need the stock recovery and an unlocked bootloader. uses the emui camera so will still take great photos.
edit: i can not make or receive calls so far. maybe i am doing something wrong. will play around some more and see if there is a fix.

Thanks for bringing this out , would like to try it , but first I need to make sure I can be able to make and receive calls !
would you mind keeping us updated with your discoveries using the rom please ?
The rom is blazing fast, no issue so far but i'll keep on testing it for a while. I have no problem with callings, make sure that you flash the correct recovery_ramdis.img for your model. I also got the latest magisk installed no problem. My only concerns would be no more AI camera, and no 3D face ID.
Update:
Some stuffs I have notice:
-USB-C earbuds doesn't work, USB-C adapter + normal earbuds works.
-The phone run a bit warmer than stock.
-It seems like the auto brightness sucks, it almost always put the phone at full brightness. I toned it down manually and the phone seems to cool off a bit.
-Safety net passed but google pay still doesn't work.
-No stereo speakers.
-Fingerprint sensor works but no indicator on screen of where to place the finger.
-No idea how to change screen resolution
Updated one day battery from 9am to 10:30pm.

Any chance you can share the file ( if you have it ) to flash the stock recovery , for a single sim global mate 20 pro ( LYA-L09 ) ?
I've been "google browsing" without luck !
edit : nevermind , I managed to extract it from a full update (.228)
Gonna try the ROM now
Cheers !
After some reboot and adjust, the phone run alot cooler now as close as stock I would say. The battery is not as good as stock because it is running at 2k compare to 1080p like I normally use on stock and there is no option to change resolution natively. I wish we have official support for this rom soon.
Try to install gcam if it's work?
Why are there no screenshots / videos / etc. of the OS on the webpage?

Thank you!
ROM is amazing so far. Calls work and other than the fingerprint scanner, everything works great.

Fingerprint actually works, just no indicator on screen of where to place it. U have to max ur brightness for the fingerprint sensor to pick it up tho. So not really as imposible to implement as 3d facial.
Great ROM , superfast , runs really nice and smooth in my mate 20 pro (hardware)
I hope the developer post it here at xda , so we can all make it better together ( I mean with feedback , findings , tips , etc )

Dears,
I'm a new owner of a brand new x2 pro, everything's fine so far, but there's just a thing that hassles me and it's the missing notification LED.
I'd like to use one of these workaround apps designed for super Amoled screen but so far, can't find any properly working on my x2 pro.
Tried with AOE (always on edge) but it seems to work randomically... All I need is an app which, in case of screen turned off and with an incoming notification (e.g., a WhatsApp message), automatically switches on a notification effect on screen which should continue blinking until I read the notification itself.
Basically, something that recalls the good old rgb led on phones of some years ago... Is there anything which you tested on Realme phones and it's 100% working?
Thanks a lot
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Yeah, notifyBuddy did the job
I'd love to have a bit more chance on the notification type (only pulsing spot is available here) but hey, it's from a developer from XDA devs
Edit : nevermind, it doesn't work in a stable way. Most of the times notifications are ignored.
anyone knows if this working https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe

NotifyBuddy works perfectly fine on mine!
You will have to exclude it from power saving.
On my X2Pro, notifyBuddy works 1 time out of 4 notification, approximately. I guess it's due to the lockscreen as I disabled any battery optimization for the app.
On the other side, AoE works even worse... Still waiting for a solution for notifications.
There is a funny thing about heating issue. On my exynos 21ultra, I have heating(warm) issues from these apps.
Camera.
A simple word game.
Chrome(which I eventually disabled).
Then I have these apps that doesn't generate as much heat:
Asphalt9
Quora
Ludo
YouTube and other video services.
Samsung didnt get their thermal management right in this release of their software.
Yea thats for sure, I get heat from mt S21+ Exynos when opening apps that you dont expect heat from and viceeversa...
welcome to 2021s #exynosgate
Seems okay after a couple of days. First day had some heating issues when using the camera. Alternative, you can set to 60hz to test it.

Yes it heats up for nothing
Just having the view finder open on AUA4 was enough to cause my G998B to almost melt. Battery life was rubbish too.
AUAC fixed this for me and substantially improved the battery life.
AUAC here, still problems
Go into settings and type in notifications into the search bar
Go into included apps, turn off everything you don't use
Go into settings and type in deep sleeping apps into the search bar
Click onto deep sleeping apps, and put everything you don't use to sleep.
Clear cache and storage from camera app.
Close all apps from background, and reboot your phone.

No
Try completely disabling all power management.
Clear system cache.
If that doesn't get it, one or more apks is at fault. You'll need to track them down.
All cloud/backup apps and Google system apks are suspect.
Try disabling auto brightness.
Try a network reset.
ARcore was a super power hog on my 10+/Pie variant; I disabled it.
Disable any carrier or Samsung apks you don't use. Disable all carrier, Google and Samsung feedback.

I have been experiencing this, it's heating much when camera is on especially during Zoom meetings or other video conference. I have the latest update as of Feb 1.
I just noticed the heat when I lift my phone while on a zoom meeting.
