Nokia G22: Nokia G22 keeps rebooting at random moments

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 18:55:33 -0700

My Nokia G22 keeps rebooting at random moments. Sometimes it reboots while I'm using the phone, sometimes when I'm not using it. As far as I can tell, all my apps are up to date and I have enough memory and storage available (usually >1GB RAM and >50GB storage). As far as I can tell it doesn't happen when I'm using any specific apps. A reboot also occured when the phone was in safe mode.

Sometimes it reboots five times in an hour, at other times it can go days without going through a weird reboot.

When it reboots, the screen freezes for a second and then goes black for about a minute. Then it quickly boots back up, without showing the android logo or playing the Nokia jingle like it would after a normal boot or reboot.

The unlock screen reads "Need pin after rebooting", so the phone does recognize it as a reboot.

I also sometimes feel it buzzing a few times in rapid succession before it reboots, similar to the buzz it makes when unlocking with the fingerprint sensor.

Another issues I have experienced is that sometimes phone keeps hanging at the login screen. I enter mij PIN and press enter, but the phone does nothing. I can see the button being pressed (multiple times) but it doesn't unlock.

Any ideas what it could be? Hardware or software?

EDIT: a full factory reset fixed all problems!

Nokia G22: The battery take too long to be fully charged.

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 12:59:09 -0700

The Nokia G22 (64 GB memory size) take too long to be fully charged.I use provided wall charger and cable in product package

The problem started when Android operating system was upgraded from Android 12 to a Android 13 operating system. I believe there was a standard time up to 120-130 minutes for a charging period from 20% battery remaining percentage within Android 12 OS. Currently with Android 13 OS if the phone in ON position it would take up to 8 to 9 hours !!! to finish it. But if I put the phone in OFF position ( Power off the phone) the battery still become fully charged within 120-130 minutes from 20% remaining battery percentage. I have missed many incoming calls.

Nokia G22: Weak WiFi Signal on Nokia G22

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 12:40:39 -0700

The WiFi signal on the Nokia G22 is very weak compared to other devices using the same hotspot. Have tested multiple WiFi networks and devices with the same result.

WiFi analyser app shows the Nokia with -65dBm signal, while a Motorola shows -54dBm.

Nokia support are useless and just keep telling me to reset and clear caches (done multiple times). Seems it is a design fault. Next step is sent it back for repair as they won't refund.

Any one else has this issue?

Nokia G22: How to fix a Nokia G22 screen on screen assembly

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 22:03:41 -0700

My Nokia G22 screen recently broke, and due to the fact there is a monopoly on phone repairs in my area, and my Nokia G22 was marketed as self repairable, I decide to repair it myself. When I bought the part I just got the screen and not screen assembly, I don't want the part to go to waste so I want to replace it myself, but I cant find anything online about how to.

Nokia G22: My Nokia G22 is not booting

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 16:40:49 -0700

Hello,

I forgot to charge my phone last night so I went to work and the my phone died at 3% battery. Not a big deal and nothing was suspicious - the phone was working fine. So I plugged in the charger that I have used before (at least 20 times) but I didn't power it up. So some time passed and I went to check my phone and the phone didn't respond at all. I tried other chargers and sockets and stuff - nothing. Interesting thing is that when I plugged it to the laptop's USB I can hear the Window's sound of connected USB device but nothing happened - because the phone is turned off. I tried to hold the power button and also power+volume up/down kombo.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Nokia G22: No Wi-Fi networks showing after about a day of use

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 02:33:59 -0700

So,

after about a day of normal use, Wi-Fi networks stop showing. I can't find any. I try and enable Airplane mode, disable and enable Wi-Fi, but no success. I have to restart for networks to show up again.

Had the phone for about a month, and I think the problem came after updating to latest system version ... Android 12, Security update on 5th June 2023.

Any suggestions?
