This section addresses common issues and provides solutions.
How can I install available updates?
Navigate to Settings > System > System update > Check for update to check if updates are available. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest software version.
How can I close an app that has stopped working?
Open Settings on your phone and select Apps. Then find the app you're having issues with and select Force Stop.
I want to conserve battery life. How can I activate the Power Saver mode?
On your phone, open Settings, then choose and activate Battery Power Saving.
How can I back up my files?
Navigate to Settings > System > Backup, and switch backup on.
How can I reset my smartphone's network settings?
Navigate to Settings > Network & Internet > more_vert > Reset. Performing this reset may help if you're having connection issues.
How do I connect my phone to my carrier network?
If your Nokia phone and network are compatible, place your SIM card in the SIM card tray using the included SIM card removal tool. Once your SIM card has been inserted, power on your phone and proceed through the product setup steps. If you are not able to connect to your network after finalizing setup, please contact your carrier support for additional assistance.
How can I ensure other people hear me on my microphone?
Ensure the Google Assistant button is not stuck or dirty. Check that there is no dirt or debris in the headphone port. If clear, disable the microphone permission of the Google Assistant by going to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Google App > Permission > Microphone > Deny.
How can I turn up the volume to my speaker?
First, ensure there is no dirt or debris in the headphone port. Make sure “Do Not Disturb” is not enabled (Settings > Do not disturb). If off, navigate to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume and move the Media slider to the right. Check individual application volume settings if the issue persists.
Why is my phone feeling warm, closing apps or occasionally slowing down?
During extended operation, the device may feel warm, which is often normal. To prevent overheating, the device may automatically slow down, dim the display, close apps, or switch itself off. If the device is not working properly, take it to an authorized service facility.
How do I reboot my smartphone when it’s not responding?
If your phone is unresponsive, perform a “soft reset” by pressing the volume up key and the power button simultaneously for about 15 seconds (or until the phone vibrates). Your phone should then restart momentarily. This is a safe way to reboot without losing data.
My phone won’t charge. What should I do?
First, check the power source or socket by trying a different outlet. If the socket is not the issue, inspect the power cable and charging port for damage. Try turning your phone off completely and plugging it in; if the battery is completely drained, it might take 2-3 minutes to show charging.
How do I fix touch sensitivity issues on my phone?
Ensure your product has no physical damage, has not been exposed to water, the screen is clean, and your fingers are dry. Remove any third-party screen protectors, as they may decrease touch sensitivity. If issues persist, perform a hard reset to factory settings (back up your data first). To hard reset, press the volume up key and power button simultaneously for about 30 seconds until the root menu appears, then choose “Wipe data/factory reset”. Alternatively, go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset > Reset phone > Erase everything.
