PranjalGoel the bug of what’s new in 3.0 that you can not able go next or skip, share a screenshot if this issue can be reproduced or you have taken a screenshot

PranjalGoel

Ethan Walker So everytime I restart the device the What’s new popup is there. I have managed to clear the system apps data as well but did not help. I’ve tried to record the issue.

Natalie ✨ after the update my glyph progress massage is showing, but actual glyph lights are not working for the calendar or uber. So sadd.

Been using Nothing OS 3.0 on my nothing phone (2), which is my primary device. Here’s what I’ve noticed:

Bugs:

The new control centre is looking good. Yet there’s a bug that causes a few toggles from the third row that shouldn’t be visible to show up when the slide back animation is initiated. (I have attached a video please take a look)
While recording video indoors or in low light - the exposure shifts instantly instead of gradually increasing, which sometimes makes the video feel very cheap. Yet no such issues in outdoors or in HDR video
Network issue - I’m sometimes getting missed call notification yet no ring or incoming calls are shown
Network icon bug on status bar - the WiFi and network icon sometimes glitches.
Front Camera during video calls - preview from my phone has a very low frame rate as well as have the exposure glitch mentioned above.

Improvements:

Overall animations feel smooth as well as app opening times.
Tried some portrait and night shots and I can clearly say there are certain improvements.
New lock screen looks really good. I wish more customisation like depth effects for clocks were present.
Getting very good battery back up compared to NOS 2.6. I noticed this more as I was able to use this phone in an emergency situation until the battery level was very low.
New smart app drawer creates friction. Apps buried within folders are perfect for someone like me. It helps me do less mindless social media scrolling.

I will update this info if I notice any other bugs or anything important. Kudos to the software team. Waiting for the stable release.

Updated.

Fantastic experience and overall experience is something I can live with till next OS update. Please add couple of more fonts.

Existing Security concerns still unaddressed

Able to switch off phone when locked.
Able to turn off WIFI/Data when locked.
Able to turn on Airplane mode when locked.

Request the team to address this.

belthur Switch off phone when locked is true.. the rest you can disable just turn off the toggle see the screenshot attached below

belthur you can add the quick settings to your lockscreen here’s an example

belthur

Nothing001 Thanks. That’s what I am using now, but its a compromise.

I want flashlight when locked. But don’t want to add it as a lockscreen shortcut because it might get accidentally switch on. Quicksettings is a nice place to hide.

My old Samsung could do that.

Ever since I updated from NOTHING OS 2.6 to 3.0, my camera quality has significantly worsened in my NOTHING Phone (2)

SevoPlus It seems it won’t even be in the final release, they probably busy to add things like gallery, that’s what most people in the community wants. 🙁

Installed the Nothing OS 3.0 beta a week ago, and it’s made my phone noticeably slower. Before this update, the OS was extremely smooth and clean. Now, I’m experiencing lag on the lock screen, and after using certain apps for a while, the phone often returns to the home screen automatically—even with YouTube, which is quite frustrating. I got my phone two weeks ago, and it was unbeatable before the update. Now, I’m regretting it. I hope these issues will be fixed soon. Can someone tell me how can I delete this update??

SreekumarSujish

anayathassan8 haven’t noticed any of this issue yet. Why don’t you try a factory reset maybe that will help. Also do check if any background application is causing this issue

aadvaithshinde

G0rdonn even i have the same problem. have you figured out how to fix it yet?

When will there be a completely black theme for the Nothing Phone? To make the most of the OLED screen with dark mode

Natalie ✨ I have a Phone (2) as well as CMF Buds Pro 2.After NOS 3.0 Open beta update the buds do not have any audio output.This lasts for a very long time and expecting it to be rectified in the next update
