📱 Phone (2) - Nothing OS 2.5 Changelog

Firmware rollouts are usually staggered, meaning not all users will receive the update simultaneously. This approach allows us to monitor for any issues and...

Option to write feedback from Settings->System -> feedback is no longer there for 2.5.1 - polish language 🙁

And I have a rather important feedback to report: while using third party Dialer app I can’t initiate any phone call. I tried three different dialer apps. I have set all permissions to yes and have set third party app as default phone app. One of the app (Right Dialer by Goodwy) is displaying this information as a popup “Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start activity Intent {act=andr…”. In Beta 2.5.0 third party dialer app was working without problems.

JacekWielog_rski it’s a Runtime exception in Java, kinda bad actually but hopefully they will fix it. You try to reset app maybe it will get fixed by doing so.

JacekWielog_rski

eddie_lauder Yes I have the same issue, it also happens in any third party dialer app. See my other post for details.

JacekWielog_rski

MarkM_gYwgF1fnwE Same here. No feedback option and camera sound is getting back by itself.

I am not so eager to runt about bugs. But it is really anoying, especially since beta2 was IMO less buggy than this final (see my other post about phone dialling from other apps than stock dialler) Fix it ASAP please.

JacekWielog_rski sounds like it is not worth updating asap then. Thanks for sharing!

kodo12 not really bro. There are 2 possibilities for bug

Bugs that comes with the ROM
Bugs that come because upgrade from Android 13 to Android 14.

My phone right now running this Nothing OS 2.5 and so far no issues atm. Major functions (call, SMS, camera, speaker, network Wifi/cellular and screen) work great and smooth.

If you asking me how my phone is ok, it is because I factory reset it after update 2.5. From my understanding, Android 13 and Android 14 have different frameworks, kernels, systems etc.

Don’t want to format also ok, but you will face some issues in future. 😆

To get this do I need to be already enrolled in beta? ?

AmirHussaini

Raj3sh No need to enrol Beta bro because 2.5 is stable, no longer Open Beta.

But, if you want to install Nothing OS 2.5, the only route that can install early or faster is from Open Beta 2.

I rolled back to 2.0.4 because want to stay on Stable until 2.5 but I have not received it yet, thanks to the staged release. So I updated/installed Open Beta 2 and I got a 2.5 update from the System update. Not Beta update app. 😂

Even when I factory reset on Open Beta 2, it still shows me Nothing OS 2.5 update is ready to download and install.

And phone one how long or so need to wait another month I gave up Samsung for this device I pay good money I want what every other nothing phone users have android 14 or am I an after fault 🤔

Raj3sh

AmirHussaini Thanks man. I’m just waiting for it

kodo12

AmirHussaini Sounds fair, however I don’t plan on performing factory reset. Will give it a try without reset then 🙂

Unbelievable to publish such a flawed rom. a smartphone with which you cannot make calls from your contacts. Only direct number entry works. No change after factory reset, still the same error! Guys, in twenty years I have never seen the basic functions of a smartphone NOT work.

J_n Clearly, despite all the hype, N has a small team which lacks the skills & experience.

To go thru 2 betas & come up with a “stable” update which messes with such basic functions is unbelievable.

I’m on 2.0.4 & will stay there until N manages to iron out the glitches.

Better to have a phone that works than to be in a hurry to get the latest.

Guys to fix the contacts app glitch, you can go to play store, uninstall updates for contacts and reinstall them. That should fix it. If that doesn’t work then go to settings, then apps, see all apps and from the top right menu, reset app preferences. This should fix it.

They need to fix this asap, this never happened to me in beta 2. I don’t know why and how they updated a good beta update into a bad stable update. This is why Android has QPR betas, to find stuff like this and fix it.
