Nokia 6 — Is there any issue with Android Messages App and Alarm App ?

I have Nokia 6 and from the time I updated my device to November security patch, there is some changes in functioning of almost all the apps.

Android Messages app doesn’t receive any messages. eg. From bank when I do any transactions, From my office about any details, or any security or permission messages from the all other apps like TEZ or paytm app.

Also, there is problem with Alarm app, Alarm doesn’t gets on even though passing the alarm time.

I am not able to get notifications from Hangout app.

I have checked background data saver mode, or cleared cache and data or factory reset my phone & tried all possible solutions as advised from Nokia Chat support app

Check if you have an update on play store for the Carrier services and alternatively try Pulse / Textra, 3rd party messaging applications. I switched as I felt the default Android Messages application was the issue.

And for the Hangout app issue. It could be the application is not running on the background.

Regarding Background activity manager on 7.1.2 Update.
You can choose which applications you want to run in the background. Like running the Mail application to continuously run in background and notify you as soon as u get a mail. Else you will get the mail / notification updates only after opening the application manually.

It surely is a good way to stop applications sucking battery and checking for mail/ updates if you have limited mobile data.

Also, Check Settings > Battery > Battery Activity Manager > ‘Application’ should be added in Whitelist (So it can run in the Background).

PS :I noticed that after each application is updated, It is automatically added to Whitelist !!

The best Nokia phones available

Are you looking to get a new phone, but would rather not dig too deep into your bank account? Nokia may have the solution for you. While many manufacturers are moving towards expensive flagships, Nokia is hunkering down in the mid-range market. The best Nokia phones won’t pack high-end specs, but you’ll save a nice chunk of change when you decide to pick one up. Let’s help you find the right one!

The pros and cons of Nokia phones

What does Nokia have to offer, aside from nostalgia? While their classic indestructible phones had their place in history (and made a comeback), the company has evolved. Currently owned by HMD Global, Nokia plays a vital role in the budget and mid-range smartphone market. One of the obvious benefits of going with Nokia is that their prices are very reasonable and features are great for what you pay.

Something else you might like is the fact that Nokia doesn’t mess with the software too much. In fact, many of Nokia’s devices run Android One, which offers a vanilla Android experience with no bloat, frills, or confusing interfaces. And the phones that don’t run Android One are still pretty much left alone in terms of the Android OS. Regardless of which you pick, Nokia devices come with clean Android experiences.

Sadly, this business model has its downsides. Because Nokia has focused so much on value, they really have no high-end devices we can truly go all out for. Those looking for a powerful device with the latest and most potent specs will simply be forced to look elsewhere.

Furthermore, while the build quality tends to be good, Nokia’s designs are rather conservative. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but these phones sure lack that “wow” factor and don’t do much to stick out from the crowd.

The best Nokia phones:

Editor’s note: We’ll regularly update this list of the best Nokia phones as new devices launch.

Nokia 8.3

The Nokia 8.3 is 5G-ready and packs some of the best that Nokia has to offer. The Snapdragon 765G chipset won’t win any awards, but it’s plenty good for most casual users, and it can handle more than true budget processors.

As for the device itself, Nokia went for a massive 6.81-inch display, a healthy 4,500mAh battery, and a quad-camera set-up. A 64MP primary shooter highlights the array, and an 8MP ultra-wide lens offers enough flexibility to capture the moment. Nokia also chose a Polar Night finish for the 8.3, which resembles the Northern Lights when you catch just the right light. We must say it has one of the coolest designs available from the brand.

Nokia’s 8.3 runs on Android One, which ensures that you’ll get a few years of updates, and 8GB of RAM along with 128GB of storage should keep you going for a while.

Android 11 roadmap for Nokia phones

As you know, we have been rolling out Android 11 for our Nokia phones.

Here is the full Android 11 roadmap:

If you haven’t received the upgrade yet, this roadmap will tell you when to expect it.

So, stay tuned, and get ready to welcome Android 11!

How come Nokia 6.2 is shown in both Q22021 and Q32021

Why’s the monthly security patches not coming for Nokia 5.3 which is still on outdated Feb security patch?

Because this is another f. joke of Nokia!🤬

This is fixed now.

Thanks for your swift action.

What the function of the third camera in Nokia 3.4

Nokia 5.3 Android 11 update pushed from Q4 2020 to Q2 2021. Is this a joke. Even though they have release new Android 11 update roadmap, still I have doubt. No gurantee that they will stick to this new roadmap.

Yes I agree with you, there’s no guarantee whatsoever.

Thank you for the update 🙂 here’s hoping that things go as planned now.

So, if you plan to give to 6.2 the Android 11 update on the 3rd Q of the year, WHY THE @#$ is it May and we still have the March security patch. 🤬 The only reason I didn’t yell about this, till now, was because I though you were much occupied preparing the Android 11 version, so you got back a little bit with the monthly updates.

Have you realized that you have lost all your reliability over the most advertised feature of your phones? The timely updates? So, better take off that [email protected]#$ «Trust» word from your nice and fancy new logo of yours! My next phone will certainly be a PIXEL. Worth the extra money! 😤

P.S. 3rd Q? Really. That’s when Android 12 will be launched! An Android One phone getting the latest Android version A WHOLE YEAR after it’s official launch! NOKIA, better QUIT the Android One program. 😂

Be sure they won’t. I don’t believe Nokia on anything now.

I was waiting for Android 11 on my Nokia 7dot2 since it was launched. I was daily checking for any new updates twice a day because Nokia told me that they will upgrade my device in Q1 and Q2 of 2021, I compromised and start waiting agar but today, after watching this post, I got too much disappointed and going to install unofficial android 11 on my phone.

Nokia. Stop defining yourself «AndroidOne» because other companies have beaten you. You are worth nothing ahead them.

It’s very sad to hear that Nokia 7.2 will receive Android 11 in Q3. What a shame on Nokia.

Yeah, shame on Nokia support and Android one program, unfortunately the most reliable manufactures are still Google and Apple. I actually thought that Nokia might make a good up to date support, but it failed. I’m using 7.2 and 5.3 and probably will sell both to have a proper phone (

Samsung isn’t a android-one, bit very, very better in update and upgrade. Ik had several nokia’s for the android-one update scaduals, bit more meer a Nokia again. You can’t trust them. Nu net phone Will be a phone front a brand that is trusted.

This is just pathetic! And at the same time quite hilarious, but somehow in a tragic way. Some of your phones will receive Android 11 when Android 12 is released. That’s comically late. And you call this «timely updates».

Meanwhile, I use a Nokia 5.4 for work, which is stuck in kind of an update-loop, and where for some reason Google Pay just doesn’t exist, even though it should, and I was hoping the Android 11 update would fix my issues — but now I’ll have to wait even longer.

You are about to lose a fan.

The reason behind Juho Sirvikas switch Nokia to Qualcomm 🙂

I agree. I am just disappointed with Nokia 7dot2. It was not a low end device to receive the update that much late..

This is the end for me with Nokia.

After 8 nokia phones..this was the last.

Nokia 7m2 has been a disappointing phone from thr beginning. It was said to be android 10 ready and it got android 10 after 7 months, now its last 2 patches have been a month late, we are still on march patch, its already nearly mid May and android 11 has been pushed to Q3. Great going. Goodbye nokia.

Androidone goes downhill. It is annoying for the only flagship on the list to receive the update last. It’s probably time to leave AndroidOne.

I got a Nokia 6.2 knowing other phones in the price range have better specs. The one reason I went for a Nokia was for the clean android experience and timely updates. Ever since, my expectations have constantly and consistently been crushed by Nokia. Nokia is busy adding phones to their portfolio that people are never going to buy.

Juho Saravikas also left the company and there is no sense of direction left here. Never recommending Nokia to anyone ever again. Unless there is some miracle, Nokia’s mobile business will go under in 2 more years.

Having both a Nokia 6.1 with Android 10 and a Nokia 8.3 5G with Android 11 I can say that you aren’t missing out on much TBH, don’t get me wrong it’s nice to have but there aren’t that many changes.

As you know, we have been rolling out Android 11 for our Nokia phones.

Here is the full Android 11 roadmap:

If you haven’t received the upgrade yet, this roadmap will tell you when to expect it.

Why did you HMD guys keep months of silence?

You did just so much harm for customers. Trust is gone.

Google officially released the A11 OS on September 8 2020 and started rolling it out to its Pixel phones on day one.

Nokia 6.2 wait one year?

The Android 12 Developer Preview program runs from February 2021

We expect Android 12 to reach Platform Stability at Beta 4 in August 2021.

What will HMD do about A 12? Are you out again like with A 11?

Thank you for the roadmap. Well, it seems that the updates are going in a horizontal order according to what I’ve seen happen lately.

I’d like to know when it will arrive for my Nokia 1.3 and 1 Plus, and which one will get the update first, but hopefully it won’t be buggy.

I will just add that in the future it will complicate the sale of new phones if you do not know how to deliver a new Android to old phones in time. So the only benefit of the Nokia X series is gone.

As you know, we have been rolling out Android 11 for our Nokia phones.

Here is the full Android 11 roadmap:

If you haven’t received the upgrade yet, this roadmap will tell you when to expect it.

The Nokia 6.2 was pushed from Q1 to Q2 now we’ll be the last device to receive the Android 11 update, by then Android 12 would be in full operation with Pixel 5A and probably 6. You’ve failed at your attempt to give quick and reliable updates to Nokia phones and I feel the Android one tag is a form of corruption.

As you know, we have been rolling out Android 11 for our Nokia phones.

Here is the full Android 11 roadmap:

If you haven’t received the upgrade yet, this roadmap will tell you when to expect it.

I can’t be sure of anything. So, I will stay netural and hope that it goes as planned.

The crazy promises and then underdelivering are already killing the brand’s trust. If they wanna survive, they should do better.

Indeed. The stock Android 10 and 11 are just a few cosmetic changes away. The only major thing users will notice are the bubbles and a bit more orgnized notifications. That is fine.

But the whole problem is the «promises». They have sold all of their phones until 2020 with the updates and updates as the sole marketing point. I can feel the pain of the users who bought the devices on those promises. Like «Okay, I will settle for fewer features and specs, but I will get updates regularly and my major Android release will also be quick».

And add to that the always bad communication and keeping users uninformed. It goes such a way that nobody can communicate about the statuses. The support has never had even slightest clue about when updates will be pushed and nobody else from HMD even responds anywhere.

The 5 Best Basic Cell Phones of 2021

Sometimes you just need the bare essentials

• New York University
• London Metropolitan University

Our editors independently research, test, and recommend the best products; you can learn more about our review process here. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links.

Not everyone is in the market for a high-end smartphone. As great as they are, these fancier phones do come with a pretty high starting price (the latest iPhone models start at $700, for example). They come with a lot of capabilities, but also a lot of complexities.

If the main goal is to be able to phone someone, you can make life easier by going with a more basic phone. And if that’s what you are looking for, just buy the Nokia 3310 3G. It’s likely the phone you are thinking of without even knowing it. You can listen to the radio or even some MP3s if you’re so inclined, or just use it as a basic phone to keep in touch.

Best Overall: Nokia 3310 3G

Connectivity options include Bluetooth and 3.5mm jack

Small, hard-to-read display

If you were to ask a child to draw a basic cell phone, it would look like the Nokia 3310 3G. The good news is the Nokia 3310 3G is better than that drawing. No offense, kiddo. The 3310 is a classic

Nokia phone updated to the 3G network (which means it’ll work most everywhere). You can text, make calls, and even listen to the radio or some MP3s.

But to cut to the chase, if you need a basic cell phone for modest cell phone needs, the Nokia 3310 3G is what you are looking for.

_{Screen Size: 2.4 inches | Resolution: 320 x 240 | Processor: 460MHz | Camera: 2MP | Battery Life: 6.5 hours}

Best for Verizon: Kyocera DuraXV Extreme E4810

Sturdy, lasting flip design

Certified for hazardous conditions

Exceptionally loud dual speaker system

Limited advanced features

We have to give the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme E4810 credit, they aren’t kidding about the extreme part. You can drop this 5 feet onto solid concrete or let it sit in 6,5 feet of water for 30 minutes. The phone is also certified to be in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations. We’re not even sure if we’re capable of being there!

Extremeness aside, this is a good, basic phone with camera and video capabilities, really loud front-facing speakers (if you need them to be loud), and it can act as an LTE mobile hotspot for 10 devices. Simply put, this is a basic cell phone that can be put through more-than-basic conditions.

_{Screen Size: N/A | Resolution: N/A | Processor: 1.2GHz | Camera: 5MP | Battery Life: 9.5 hours}

Best for T-Mobile: Alcatel Go Flip 3

4G and 4G LTE network

Supports Google Assistant

Mediocre internal memory

This phone is only for T-Mobile customers, but if it weren’t the Go Flip 3 would likely be our best overall pick. It’s got everything we look for in a basic phone. In fact, thanks to features such as web browsing, email, calendar options, and, heck, even supporting Google Assistant, it’s fair to call this a «basic plus» phone.

It runs on T-Mobile’s 4G/LTE network, so calls should be clearer than those limited to 3G networks. The battery is rated for 7.9 hours of talk time, which should be more than enough to get you through a pretty full day.

_{Screen Size: 2.8 inches | Resolution: 320 x 240 | Processor: 1.1GHz | Camera: 2MP | Battery Life: 7.9 hours}

Best for Texting: ZTE Altair 2 Z432

Full QWERTY keyboard

Long battery life for texting

Compatible only with AT&T

The ZTE Altair 2 Z432 works only with AT&T. With that out of the way, it’s a great phone for folks who primarily communicate via texting. It’s got a physical keyboard for those who find that more comfortable than using a touchscreen.

The phone’s screen is large enough to read incoming texts, navigate the menu, and screen incoming calls via Caller ID. Keep in mind if you get this phone we mean it when we say it’s best for texting. The phone’s talk time is limited to just 4 hours.

_{Screen Size: 2.4 inches | Resolution: 320 x 240 | Processor: 460MHz | Camera: 2MP | Battery Life: 4.5 hours}

«The ZTE Z432 clearly gets its inspiration from classic BlackBerry handsets, with a 4:3 rectangular screen above navigational buttons and a full QWERTY keyboard.» — Andrew Hayward, Product Tester

» data-caption=»» data-expand=»300″ data-tracking-container=»true»/>

Best for Seniors: Easyfone Prime A1

Compatible with hearing aids

Not compatible major networks

SIM card not included

As phones turn into computers, their complexity goes straight up and understanding how they work goes straight down. The Easyfone Prime A1 is aimed at senior citizens who need a simple phone to make and receive calls.

It’s got a big screen and big buttons to help those with poor vision, plus a hearing aid compatibility mode to avoid electronic feedback while talking on the phone. In an emergency, the Easyfone A1 has an SOS calling feature that will rapidly dial up to five contacts and features storage for critical personal and medical information that first responders can access.

_{Screen Size: 2.4 inches | Resolution: 320 x 240 | Processor: 460MHz | Camera: 2MP | Battery Life: 22 hours}

If you don’t want to think about which basic cell phone to buy, then buy the Nokia 3310 3G (view at Amazon). It’s what you want without even knowing it.

As smartphones have become more complex, the basic cellphone is here for people who want a more simple experience. It’s usually a small phone without a large screen, and often a flip phone. It’s got large keys, and a large, easy to read screen and interface. They usually can’t run apps, but they are the perfect way to keep in touch for those who struggle with a more modern smartphone.

The price of a basic cell phone plan can vary, but there are a variety cheap cell phone plans if you don’t want to pay the price of a major carrier such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Smaller carriers and MVNOs including Cricket Wireless, MetroPCS, Visible, Republic Wireless, and others offer plans that can save considerable amounts for people. Instead of signing up for a full prepaid plan, you have the option of getting a plan that allows you to pay just for the number of voice minutes, texts, and data you need and can use. Some of these plans cost as little as $15 to $20, making them a great deal cheaper than mainline options.

If your main concern is privacy and security, a basic cell phone can offer some advantages because not all of them have full WI-Fi connectivity, GPS, apps, and sophisticated operating systems. But like any cellular device, they can be used to track you and your whereabouts, and that’s true even of a basic cell phone. That said, if your cell phone has no apps to speak of, and you don’t use it for web browsing, that’ll limit a good deal of your exposure.

Most new basic cell phones come with 4G LTE connectivity at a minimum, and you should avoid buying 2G-only devices since those networks have been shut down in the U.S. and many other parts of the world. 3G service continues to be supported, but its end is also scheduled in the next few years, so your best bet is to make sure your device supports 4G LTE.

What to Look For in a Basic Cell Phone

Battery Life

In the world of basic cell phones, you’ll often find that your battery life is measured in days or even weeks. Unlike smartphones, basic cell phones don’t have to continually process many complex actions. Thoroughly review the phone’s specs to identify the one that offers maximum talk time and standby time. To eliminate how often you need to charge your phone, also consider how many advanced features there are, as they may cut into your battery life.

Ease of Use

If you’re buying a basic cell phone, it’s at least partly because you don’t want to deal with the complexities of a modern smartphone. While most basic cell phones are inherently simple, some are surprisingly complicated. Today’s basic phones can include features such as texting, taking photos, or listening to music. Aside from premium features, some fully loaded basic phones have complex interfaces. While looking for a basic phone, make sure it has an interface that makes it fairly easy to place and answer calls.

Expandable Storage

Basic phone users and smartphone users alike can benefit from extra storage. Today, most basic cell phones include a camera. If you plan on taking photos or videos, you’ll want to ensure the phone has enough storage. Getting a phone with expandable storage can help if you’re unable to transfer your memories from the phone to a computer. With expandable storage, not only are you able to add more capacity, but you’re able to easily swap memory cards when the current card gets full.
