Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

If you replaced the battery and still have that many issues you definitely have faulty hardware. Probably best to get rid of it.

Don't blame the employees, there was a lot of BS going on at Nokia

Jolla is a company solely focusing on one phone and one OS. I think you'll find their product will be much more refined

I'd like to say I noticed 4% bug appears more often if you speed charge your N9 with strong current chargers. I switched from 1A to 2A made by BB. Then suddenly I get the bug after 2 years.
Switching back to 1A and less seems to avoid it. Just my 2 cents...

Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

After trying out the I-Phone 5 for a day and using a GS4 for two I have decided to keep my N9. The commercials in the States will make your mouth water to try a new phone..until you use it and get to know it personally. It's like listening to happy hardcore after you've been used to Omar Santana. Or better yet like listening to Britney Spears when you're partial to Aphex Twin. I just don't see all the hype. It's nothing to be gained for me. All phones have their bugs. I've heard enough bitching and moaning from all of my other friends with their phones to know there isn't a safe place in the phone world unless you already expect less from it. I have had no real issues with my N9 nor have seen anything new product-wise exciting enough to make me switch..yet :)


To the OP, everything has a fix. I have seen too many people freak out on the forum because of an anomaly or corrupt file that didn't take a whole lot of time/effort to fix in the end; and usually afterwards everything is trouble free and they forget it even happened. It's usually something stupid or a small task. A lot of people here are willing to help if you ask nicely. :D That's why I love this place. You never know how much you will like the phone once it works like it was meant to or like you want to, but you also never know how much you will hate a new phone that may end up bugging you just as much. Maybe this will help, but in the end, I hope you find what you are looking for :)

Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

how about charging via PC's usb2/usb3?

i always charge my phone via nokia's charger or pc's usb port. and never have the battery bug, unless at last 20%...which is rare since i always charge my n9 when it reach below 50%

My phone is really good. It could stay with me 2 days with active usage of 1hour and half. There was a nice tweak to disable search app which gave that results. If you want to same more energy change the network to 2g instead of 3g, it will give you a fantastic results. You could find these tweaks in the web

Uh-oh Lumiaman on a hate quest against MeeGo - what a surprise ;)

Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

The battery issue is a known bug, not much can be done with it. It was a "fix" but it didnt work for me.

1 thing I do is I used the QuickTweak App and tweak ff to give me QRefreash then I will restart my bme, it usually gives me a little more juice.

Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

I have come to the conclusion that the HW of N9 devices varies somewhat, since many people complain on bugs (especially regarding the power&charging of the device) that other people never have had.
There are various HW revisions of the device and it might well be so that some revisions are worse at handling the charging algoritms. Also, the phones were manufactured in different countries and there might be some differences in build quality even as I strongly belibe it's just hype.

I've never had any of these faults, the power usage of the device is very constant. When it's fully charged it will give about 2 days of light usage, about 1 day of heavy usage before it needs recharging. The device never goes to any "4% drop" or anything like that, and frankly I would not know what that bug would look like...

I have experience on 2 devices, my own 64G rev.1501 and my wife's 16G rev.1603


Yes, that intrgration is not done correctly I have to say.
My experience is that often "Maps" will just tell you "There is no possible route for destination" and refuse to open "Drive".
Workaround is to open "Drive" directly and find the destination from there.
However I don't recall it ever hanging on me.


Each to his own, I have only had good experience on N9/Harmattan, and so I am waiting the Jolla device with anticipation. I expect it to be at least as good as N9, propably better.


Of course I am not condemning you, your concerns are real.
I would like to know what is your HW revision, as it might give some light to the situation?

Re: N9 is the most unreliable phone I've ever used
 

Exactly the same experience, used my PlayBook Charger and thought I'd ruined it, switched by to USB off my Time Capsule and no problems since.
