Finally Nokia is getting into the Tablet game. It's pretty nice to see that the only brand you love start to improve gradually overtime. I wish Nokia could regain it's lost fame back and be the champion again.

[@ayteaq]

I feel like Nokia is covertly trying to tell us that they're getting back in the game by giving us small treats like this (and XR20 and pureview and 8.35G) until they release flagship material. Here's hoping Nokia claims its throne once again! I truly do love Nokia, I trust Nokia and I keep Nokia :)

[@pishta74]

They need to bring back Meego. Then they'll be on the throne. And that's a hard one.

[@TheManOfMuscle]

I got one and noticed that it gets warm on the top of the screen when placed vertically. Is it supposed to be warm there? Because I'd assume it's only the back that's supposed to get warm. Happens at max brightness.

[@abcun17]

@@TheManOfMuscle I cannot say that I've noticed that problem with my unit. I've had the tablet for months now. I used it moderately and pretty much only inside. I also have a screen protector and case on the tablet. That happening to your T20 doesn't necessarily mean it is defective. It may be that it heats up because you are using the screen at maximum brightness (for too long). It could be also be if you are using it outside in the sun. It also depends how much you use it (length of time). If you do a lot of gaming (with higher graphics) or watch a lot of content (especially HD content) etc. It may be if you maintain a lot of apps open at the same time or leave them running in the background. Try using Adaptive Brightness for the screen (it doesn't always work well but it may help) or at least maintaining it (and adjusting it manually) at about 50-80% brightness. Also use the Adaptive Battery function for your apps as that regulates how much power the apps use. If that doesn't help try using Nokia's My Device app and seek more information or Customer Support there, in the tablet (T20) section. Get some feedback or suggestions from Nokia customer service or other T20 users. I hope that helps.

[@TheManOfMuscle]

@@abcun17 Thank you for the response. These tips are good, I've only had the tablet for 2 days and I only use it indoors. Although I did use it at maximum brightness most of the time so maybe that's why. I follow most of the things you said except keeping adaptive brightness on. So you keep it between 50-80% huh? Guess I made a mistake thinking most people would max it out. Although I do usually stay in the 70-80 range myself on my phone, and will do the same for the tablet once I start using it regularly. It's best to test things in the preliminary stage, or until the return period is over. But I was further testing this tablet today and found that the heat generated on the screen was actually less than my phone's screen when I put them side by side running the same apps/games. The variables were kept the same and my phone was warmer than the tablet so my worries have eased. Thanks again for trying to help.

[@thedarkknight1971]

Yep, I agree deffo about that strange placement of the headphone jack... I mean, why? On which planet/alternate reality/universe did the designer reside who came up with that idea??? But generally, with your points, I agree, generally well set up unit. I hope that Nokia (as you mentioned in an earlier post reply to me) possibly come up with a T30/40/50 etc, going on that Android Tablets are making a bit of a return into the tech world, by way of the excellent tech like, the Samsung Tab S6 and 7 series.... My ex has a Tab5e, and even that (in the field of tech) 'Old hat' device, quad speakers and all, is still a solid device... You know, I'm still rocking an Nvidia Shield K1 (though connected to my TV and providing sound through to my 25 year old Technics Class A Amp & 4 x Sony bookshelf speakers, and operated by a Logitech BT Keyboard/trackpad combo).... I did my best, but failed to get one of those Pixel C or Pixel slates, a tad costly... At least Nokia have the software support over another equally cheap, but pretty darned powerful and well received XiaoXin Pad Pro (approx half price of its basically exact hardware clone but big company name branded Lenovo P11 Pro), If you're unaware, ETAPrime & TechTablets both did a review on it's SD870/UFS3.1/90Hz screen design - can still be bought new for £200/250. What do you reckon fella? 🦇😎🇬🇧

[@AbdullaZaki]

That sounds like a good deal! But I always have preservation about brands with short backgrounds as they usually don't have the same service and after sales support, and they also don't have a couple of decades old reputation to withhold, so it's a bit risky

[@thedarkknight1971]

@@AbdullaZaki Yeah I know exactly what you mean, tis why I said, if Nokia can get making at least 1, maybe 2 levels up in tech, for a couple more tablets then, yes, naturally you'll have back up with OS & Security. As, alas, I have found with this 'supposed' decent level Moto G9 Plus I got in December, I only got the Android 11 update coupla weeks back, and like others globally, I am encountering teething issues, bugs, glitches n such.... I suppose that's the difference with A- Nokia only having a handful of models and being mostly on Android One, and Moto, just happy to pump new models... Ahem.... Weekly... Lol.... See the 'disgruntled-ness' in Captain Baldy at TwchSpurt.... Even he winces when he announced, "oh joy, another week, another Moto" lol..... 🤔😏🙄🙄🙄

[@B.B.Digital_Forest]

I didn't know Nokia released a new tablet. 😄 I've been thinking of getting a Samsung A7 lite just for reading at my couch. Instead, maybe I can connect this to my Fosi Audio DA2120 amplifier via Bluetooth. I'm tired of using my Nokia phones to play music via SoundCloud and KZbin. I'm sure the speakers on the T20 are fine, if I were to go by the Nokia 6 and 8. But I prefer hooking up to my Pioneer Andrew Jones tower speakers. I don't need it for games or taking pictures. I just want something for private home use.

@@TheManOfMuscle Bro...I haven't experienced heat at the top...may be because my brightness is low most of the time and I don't play games.

Yesterday, I watched some movie on Netflix andI felt the entire back pretty hot...checked the temperature using the built in app and found it to be 41 degrees. My whole room was very hot, though. If the cpu is in the top, then may be the cpu is getting hot more than the battery. You may consult with someone from Nokia.
