I know this is an android forum but i would just like to know if anyone could assist me with this flight mode issue as I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.
I have a Nokia Lumia 830 that keeps going to flight mode, If you try put flight mode off it just keeps flashing between flightmode and mobile and it wont get a signal. The phone is fully functional aside from this, on wifi aside from phone calls the phone is fine with internet etc.
I have tried the nokia recovery tool, I have loaded older software, I have tried the latest software and I have tried loading the windows 10 developers software with the windows insider app all doing exactly the same thing just going to flightmode. I took the phone to a nokia repair centre and was told that the flight mode is part of the LCD and the whole screen would have to be replaced as the phone has water damage. I dont remember getting water damage but I wasnt gona dispute this as I was really drunk one night so theres a good possibility that this is true. I however dont buy that because a month after I bought the phone I had the same problem and I sent it in under warranty and they fixed the problem by replacing half of the phone speakers, cover, LCD and I dont know what else. I stay in south africa and vodacom only have one repair centre for the entire country so I presume they just replace parts till they find the problem and charge whatever they want.
I am no phone expert but I dont see how flightmode can be part of the hardware, surely its just software that disables specific mobile functions... anyway I would just like to know if there is anyway that I could disable the flightmode function in the manufacturers settings or load completely different software like android. Its just such a waste of a decent phone, when its working, and I just cant justify spending half the phones value on a new LCD.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As the title states I can't get my fitbit charge 2 to come up on Bluetooth and the fitbit app won't recognize it either. The fitbit is performing perfectly and synced with my tablet due to the honor 6x not pairing with. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!
This makes no sense to me, but my wife says her fitbit charge 2 didn't want to pair (BLN-L24) until she turned location on.
Thanks for the quick reply, I definitely had location on. I requested a replacement from Amazon before I give up on it.

My fitbit alta pairs normally with honor 6x, its true you need location on, also on my older galaxy s6 the location had to be on
That's good to read. Hoping I just have a bad 6x. Otherwise I think the phone is fantastic for the money spent.
I've been having the same issues. Syncs perfectly with my old one plus one, macbook air. But ever since I got my 6x even when I turn everything on (wifi data Bluetooth location) it simply can't find my charge 2.
Called huawei and there response was they knew it won't work and couldn't give any idea when and if it would work. I returned the phone for a refund. I find it very hard to believe that it's just a software issue. It's a shame because the phone was nice.
That's odd...my wife's been using hers for almost 2 weeks now with no problems with
Honor 6X BLN-L24C567B110
Fitbit Charge 2 FB407SBKS
Too bad they didn't say what the exact issue is...kind of curious.

Sad you had to return even though you liked the phone and more important, no solution was given... thats sad
I just purchased new Honor 6x from Amazon in India. I tried watching VR videos today with Aura VR headset. The video was constantly shaking. I did not see such issue with my earlier Honor 6 (no x..). I tried to calibrate the gyroscope using a few apps I could find in the playstore but nothing helped. This is a great phone but gyroscope is really messed up. I tried using Bubble Level and the reading continously fluctuates on a flat surface from 0.2 to 0.6 on both axis.
Is there a way to fix this issue?

Ignore this text ...
Ok. Received the replacement phone and it has the same issue.
After talking to Huawei Tech Support, I did, firmware upgrade (though I had the upgraded version already) and factory reset. Nothing seems to be working and my phone still feels earthquake on a flat stable surface.
Is there any non-rooting way to fix this issue? I am being asked by Huawei to take my one-day-old phone to service center...
Went to Service center. They did software reset but no help. They wanted to keep the phone to do hardware testing and I denied - didn't want to have a one-day-old phone opened and played with. I returned the handset. Issue still exists.
Ur phone is not defective
It is rhe problem with all honor 6x devices and not just urs maybe it will be fixed in updates.. Just to let u know Ur device is not defective sadly gyroscope is like that in all 6x
All the Honor 6x's have the same problem because huawei decided to cheap out and use the accelerometers as a virtual gyro. It sucks but i dont use gyro that much, no big deal for me.
Hello, I need a new phone and I'm looking at the Nokia 3 because it has an e-compass and gyroscope, sensors that are a must for me.
Sadly most brands are leaving e-compass behind. So I got really exited when I saw that all nokias have it.
So far the only thing that keeps me from buying it are the bugs I read about the phone in this forum and others: screen that doesn't turn on, battery drains, charging that stops at 80%, phone getting slow/choppy, phone that hangs after using the camera.
So I need to ask you this... how serious are those bugs? do you believe they're gonna fix them or they are not doing anything to improve it? is it worth it?
Thanks.

Personally I haven't experienced any of those bugs, the only thing that once happened to me is that once the phone ran down and refused to charge or come on for a while. That said, I'm not sure other phones don't sometimes have similar or worse issues.
Might I ask, why do you need a phone with a compass sensor? Can't you just get a camera app from the play store, or wouldn't such an app work without the sensor?
Anyway bottom line is, the choice is up to you. I believe getting a phone without issues is sometimes a hit and miss situation. Ultimately you'll have to make the decision for yourself. I'm not really sure I can advise you on that. I got my Nokia 3 because I'd always liked the Nokia brand (but couldn't stand the WP os) so this was my way of declaring solidarity with Android on Nokia.
My biggest issue with the phone is the lack of backlight on the navigation buttons, which can be inconvenient in dark places. If that is not a deal breaker for you, you can go ahead and get it, but I'd recommend searching for info on people who have used the compass sensor first

Hi there !
First,I want to say Nokia 3 phone is for me a very good choice :
-have a clean pure android OS without bloats(thats why I am not sure it is a wise choice to root it or unlock boot)
-is a very fast phone if you disable apps you dont need(faster that a rooted debloated Xperia)
-I use MX or FV5 camera for taking very nice photos (at 8Mpx)
-Charging never stops if you know that Nokia 3 have a new protection system for battery-if phone is on charger and you use it a lot on 4g internet the temperature of battery is increasing over normal and automatically is trigged the protection suspending the charge until temperature drop to normal.
So is not a bug,is an enhancement for better battery life.
-If you search the guys who are over complaining you will see they work for competitors of Nokia.Dont forget is a tough competition and there are a lot of high end phones who are not on Oreo update program.Nokia until now keept their promise to deliver monthly updates and upgrades .
Also suspicious is the fact that MTK had double time to deliver drivers but is still delaying.
If you want the best budget phone Nokia 3 is by far the best choice !
All the best !

Hi, I'm using this phone about 2 months, and i had no bugs so far. I didn't tested compass so i can't really tell you about that function. I think that Nokia will fix those "bugs" that other users experienced because they release OTA updates often so you can be sure that you are on latest version. Design of this phone is nice, my friends like it too. Battery life is great for me, it lasts whole day without charging. Sound quality of speakers are ok, i would say average, sound quality through headphones is behind average, but that's my opinion. Customization of this phone is so far good. We have unlocked bootloader, TWRP, SuperSU root and Xposed. I hope that Nokia 3 can have some good Custom ROM. Performance in games are good. I play GTA:SA, Asphalt 8 without bugs in medium settings. Multitasking is ok, i can have 5 apps in background and no apps will be restarted.
I recommend you this phone, i think that it won't disappoint you.
Thanks for your replies!

I use a few astronomy apps regulary, those need e-compass/magnetometer to work. Also I'm a mapper and use a lot the GPS, GPS without compass is only half as useful. Being able to register where you were facing while taking a shot or registering a note is very useful in mapping, astronomy, hiking, etc.

My advice is to buy TA-1032 variant which is European variant and have dual-sim because it have twrp and stock rom in case you bricked your phone.
Other variants are ok too, but only TA-1032 have twrp and stock rom at this moment. I hope that twrp and stock ROMs will be available for all variants.
I'm from argentina so I don't know wich variant i'm gonna find here... I know it is dual sim, but that's all i know about the nokia 3 they are selling here, EDIT: appearently the most common variant here is the TA-1028, very few sellers has it at this time that aren't even official stores and it's not that cheap, they are selling it here for USD 200-270. That's why i'm worried too because probably I can't get any local support.

TA-1028 is single sim, TA-1038 will probably be the dual sim most common. I don't know if Amazon ships to Argentina, if they do and it doesn't cost too much, I think you can get the TA-1032 model there

sellers says it has dual sim :/
Sadly I'm not willing to buy it outside my country because there are high chances that the postal office steal the package when it enters the country. Also import taxes adds up to 50-60% the price, so the risk is worthless. Easily I prefer to pay those USD 200-270 and be 100% sure I'm getting the phone. After all these troubles I need a really trustworthy phone.
Hello !
We changed a screen on a P30, we transferred the old fingerprint to avoid malfunctions BUT now we have connectivity issues. :
- The WiFi works 1 day by a week... Mostly times when we try to connect we have an error "Access denied".
- GPS doesn't work, on Maps my localization is wrong.
- Bluetooth power on and then go off few seconds after.
We resetted the phone many times, we tried to flash the last full firmware directly on boot and OTG (DLOAD).
I'm pretty sure it's just a software issue and maybe the modem image is bad... What could we do now ?
Thank you for your help <3
UP !

No... Maybe if we take off the new screen and transfer it to the old frame ? Did you try that ?

We tried to transfer everything back to the old frame but using the new screen connected to the lcd connector and guess what ? Everything was working again ! But the LCD is really too hard to unmount from the new frame...
This sounds like you left the antenna cable loose or maybe it got damaged, did you check the antenna cable or replace with a new one?
