The bugs were really fixed but rhe 4.a update is causing a little warming and there’s definitely a drop in the battery life of the phone now, is there a fix?

Instead of releasing thousands of updates for the 2a you should focus on updating once and for all the 2, which has been left to its fate with a lot of bugs and lousy camera performance. I can’t understand that having thousands of users furious for not having an update you guys don’t do anything. It’s embarrassing to say the least. The Nothing phone 2 is a good phone, but because of your shortcomings in optimization and bug improvement, plus a lousy transparency policy, it becomes a low end phone. A disaster. Do something about it.

Remi F

FernandoAlonsoRom_n lmao again those comments that have nothing to do under a thread like this 🙃

A reminder :

don’t make your perception a generality
Phone (2a) needs quick fixes updates as it’s new
Phone (2) is in its mature state, which means : near to 0 bug to fix (I don’t have any myself), and only refinement.

But anyway, I guess my comment will be ignored/insulted like the other times.

ReddyAnna

FernandoAlonsoRom_n make your own thread for NP2 updates. I’m tired of people crying about NP2 updates under every post. I get it, updates are important for you but leave other threads alone. Thank you.

My Phone 2 works great, no issues.

Remi F pal, you’re the one who spews out rude & racist comments, casting slurs on an entire country if anyone posts complaints about the Nothing company or the NP2.

That’s the big issue with you & you do need to be sensitive about it.

That apart you’re as entitled as any other member to post comments about the phone & others are entitled to agree or disagree.

Absolutely, Remi. I also often wonder if people have even understood how a forum works before they post wildly.

On the other hand, the Forum structure also invites them to do so. Directly on the homepage, all topics are confused in the middle. Maybe Nothing could think about improving the forum structure.

Remi F hey remi i know for you phone 2 has 0 bugs but i also hate this update cry babies but 2 things i have faced in past 2 weeks like when switching from wifi to data sometimes it takes to much time or no network also phone 2 camera sucks in everything stock camera or social media it’s just plain it’s like i’m using a 20k phone still i’m hoping they will improve it👍

love2sing

I think if you talk about camera performance, phone 2 is still at its beginning stage, maturity level is still far away.

FrancescoFumelli

love2sing for camera, buy a Pixel.

Should the forthcoming update fail to rectify the battery drainage, overheating, and camera deficiencies, users of the Nothing Phone 2 intend to express their dissatisfaction by posting critiques within the community.

We will wait for the update but don’t disappoint us by not fixing the issues , remember it’s your flagship device right ??

Remi F

Gun_Put thank you for confirming what I said in my first comments… : I guess my comment will be ignored/insulted like the other times.

First time I’m being called a racist, funny.
Anyway, back to helping people on this forum.

After updating 2.5.4.a, my phone 2a lost mobile network. It shows E and not getting 4g or 5g network. Please help immediately as I am working remotely using mobile network.

Sambhrant

Oh wow, they really did fix the camera lag. Wow

ShubhamSharma100

Sambhrant please explain bro…

ReddyAnna

Jeez, I forgot why I opened this thread! I received the update this evening and it’s installed successfully. I haven’t really tested any claimed fixes though. Hopefully someone updates on the state of charging and camera saturation levels.

Sambhrant

ShubhamSharma100 Opening any app that used the camera or the camera app on it’s own used to devastatingly stutter the entire phone which they seemed to have fixed. There still needs a bit more refinement but I’m happy with the updates they are pushing.
