I swear this must be a joke!
After all this waiting, see below for the email I finally got from from the developer team. These people do not know what is going on in their own company. They are not even aware that the only way to get the phone in the US is through the developer program. It is disgraceful. This is either incompetence, or bad management, or whatever… But it is hard to trust a company that is managed so badly. I am done. Such a shame…
Thanks for your application!
We got your application. Your idea is cool.
Why not try to make a demo first? In fact, you can debug the Glyph Interface without GDK.
Debug mode will be automatically disabled after 48 hours. With the GDK, you can remove the 48 hour limit.
How to enable debug mode?
Step 1: Make sure your Nothing devices are running Android version 14 or newer
Step 2
For Phone (1) and Phone (2) users, you can debug the Glyph Interface via adb command: adb shell settings put global nt_glyph_interface_debug_enable 1
For Phone (2a) users, you can debug the Glyph Interface in developer options
Send the demo video or images to us. Show your features.
And we will check it.
Looking forward to your masterpiece 🙂
The Nothing Team
And here is my response:
Dear Sir or Madam,
After a month of trying to hear back from you, do you still not get it??
I DO NOT have the Nothing 2(a). I applied to the developer program from the US because that is the only way I could get the phone.
Do you guys not know what you are doing within your own company? Do you not know that the 2(a) is sold through the developer program in the US and you can buy the phone only after the approval?
How can a place be managed in such an incompetent manner. Honestly, right now, I cannot believe that the phone is really that good, given how bad the management practices in this company are…
Respectfully,
Gökçe Sargut
