Once your SIM card has been inserted into the device, power on your phone and proceed through the product setup steps. If you are not able to connect to your network after finalizing the product setup, please contact your carrier support for additional assistance as every carrier has different steps to assist you in ensuring your product connects to their compatible network. How can I ensure other people hear me on my microphone? If you are experiencing microphone issues with your device and your product has a Google Assistant button, please ensure that the Google Assistant button is not stuck or dirty as this will cause the microphone to not function as intended. If the Google Assistant button is not obstructed, please ensure that there is no dirt or debris in the headphone port of your product. If the headphone port is also clear, please 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, please ensure that there is no dirt or debris in the headphone port of your product. If your headphone port is clear, please make sure that “Do Not Disturb” is not enabled. To disable this setting, navigate to Settings > Do not disturb. Make sure this is toggled off. If Do Not Disturb is off, navigate to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume > move the Media slider to the right to increase volume and test your speaker. If you are still not able to hear any audio, check the settings of the application that you are using from the Settings menu as many applications will have their own volume settings. Why is my phone feeling warm, closing apps or occasionally slowing down? During extended operation, the device may feel warm. In most cases, this is normal. To avoid getting too warm, the device may automatically slow down, dim display during a video call, close apps, switch off charging, and if necessary, switch itself off. If the device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility. How do I reboot my smartphone when it’s not responding? If your phone is unresponsive, you can perform a “soft reset” by pressing the volume up key and the power button simultaneously for about 15 seconds (or until phone vibrates). Your phone should then restart momentarily. This is a safe and quick way to reboot your device without losing or erasing any data. My phone won’t charge. What should I do? First ensure the issue isn't with the power source or socket you're using - you can quickly check this by plugging your phone into a different outlet, then checking if it charges. If the socket is not the issue, try taking a closer look at the power cable or charging port on your phone, ensuring everything appears as it should.
Then, try turning your phone off completely and plugging it into the socket - bear in mind if the battery is completely drained, it might take up to 2 or 3 minutes to start charging. How can I contact support? Our customer support page offers a number of ways that you can contact support. Please visit the Nokia website for further assistance. How do I fix touch sensitivity issues on my phone? Before performing any additional troubleshooting steps, please ensure that your product does not show any physical damage, has not been exposed to water, the screen is clean, and your fingers and hands are not wet or dirty. Please also remove any 3rd party screen protectors that you may have on the device as non Nokia branded screen protectors may decrease the touch sensitivity of the device. If none of these solutions resolve the issue that you are facing, please perform a hard reset back to factory settings. Please note: a hard reset will completely erase all the data, settings and content on your smartphone, returning it to the original factory settings. We strongly advise that you back up your device before a hard reset. Visit here to learn more about how to back up your smartphone remotely. To reset your smartphone and erase all its content, first make sure your phone is connected to a power source. We also recommend that your battery is at least 50% charged when you perform a hard reset. Press the volume up key and the power button simultaneously for about 30 seconds or until the root menu appears. Then choose the action you want to take from the root menu, in this case “Wipe data/factory reset”. Alternatively, you can also perform a hard reset by tapping Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset > Reset phone > Erase everything.Amazon’s description “AT&T 4G only, AT&T 5G not supported” is not correct. I’ve confirmed that the Nokia G50 can connect using 5G on AT&T’s 850 MHz band 5, which AT&T says is now available throughout much of the U.S. This likely gives a download speed about twice that available through AT&T’s 4G LTE. So although this is true 5G, it does not offer the tremendous increase in speed available at much higher frequencies (but also much shorter range) such as 39 GHz, which AT&T calls “5G+”.
The Nokia G50 does not support such high frequencies for any carrier, and as a practical matter, carriers are beginning to deploy these high frequencies in only a very few locations. The Nokia G50 does support a mid-range band for 5G used by Sprint and T-Mobile, which provides higher speeds than AT&T’s low-band 5G, but Sprint/T-Mobile now offer this only in select cities.
Regarding the Nokia G50, I can only compare it to my previous Nokia 6.1, which AT&T obsoleted when they discontinued 3G. (4G data still works in the Nokia 6.1, but voice telephone doesn’t). Anyway, my first impression is that G50 has a much snappier processor, apps and data transfer are much faster, and battery life is much better. I’m very pleased with the Nokia G50.Fingerprint reader works but it also works no matter what finger you use in my experience I put in my thumb only and it unlocks with all my fingers. The battery life is not even close to what is advertised. The camera is terrible even compared to a Samsung or IPhone from multiple years ago my iPhone 5c I had a long time ago had better camera quality. The worst thing is my screen just decided to absolutely conk out and be unresponsive to touch and is entirely unusable like if you have a messed up video cable on an old vcr kind of look there was no accident to cause this either it was working and then just did that within a second I was using it when it happened.
I tried to do a repair on it with phone repair tools as well and the outer glass they used is so thin and cheap is shattered when I was removing it to get to the actual screen I wasn't using a lot of force or an improper tool either. I've only had it for 6 months maybe too and for it to be complete destroyed when I've done nothing but take proper care of it is horrible I wish I could get a refund but I doubt I will. Also after about a month of use the OS will start to malfunction and give you error messages and massive freeze ups and loss of function without reseting the phone even then it sometimes persists. I would rather have a flip phone than this garbage I thought I'd branch out and try a different phone brand for once and this was a horrible mistake.My wife uses android exclusively until this phone arrived. She tried to like this, wanted to love it like her Motorola died after one year. Reviews are mixed, some good and bad, phone looked nice. I used Nokia phones many years. I appreciated user interface, quality, design and functions.
What she liked:
1.Facial recognition is flawless, never failed to unlock her phone, good color.
2. Price is reasonable.
3. Large screen and color.
4. Updated to Android 12 out of the box. Unfortunately some backed up items were deleted and settings changed during the backup. Three days later finally found correct settings.
What she didn’t like:
1. Button designs on both sides are too easy to mistakingly touch. A case reduced inadvertent button use, but they should be a few MM higher on both sides. She accidentally turned it off during a call.
2. Fingerprint Sensor, I think is on the side, not bottom or face. She didn’t use it or activate that feature.
3. Dropped calls. This is common issue with all cell phones. This one dropped two or three calls each day suggests hardware problem. As a side note we live in a small apartment never had this happen with my cell phone or her previous Android.
Opinion: I used android many years, 2002-2012. For personal reasons I changed to Apple IPhone for better Securit.Android programs require access to private info etc. Android system is decent, interface is intuitive, my issue allowing programs access to private data. Words with friends for instance is valid reason to access contacts. A different game program needed access to contacts, phone and email or it would not work. Her last two android devices were hijacked through a coupon website. We had to factory reset and slowly delete backup data info, cookies, programs. Installing virus protection discovered five hacking cookies we could not delete. Norton isolated and deleted them in minutes.
Android OS versus IOS is subjective choice/preference. I’m not slamming Android or promoting IOS, they both have issues.In summary this Nokia phone didn’t work for us.This is the most annoying phone I have ever owned. I need to reboot it everyday, why it locks up. I am not sure if it the hardware of the awful Android 12 that was pushed on to it. Camera is great, everything works well except when it locks up or when I am in a hurry to do something it refuses to respond. I have rebuilt the OS and did not solve the issue. I have used Nokia for the last dozen years in that time, one phone stopped working on calls, the others especially the Windows Phones were rock solid. I guess this is what you get when a Nokia phone is no longer manufactured by Nokia.
