Hi,

is the same problem as with the 2a device. This is what i wrote about it in the 2a forum:

The mobile phone loses up to 15% battery overnight, not always. But quite frequently and without any recognisable pattern.

What I found out with the GSAM Battery Monitor app is that it is not an app that causes the problem but the kernel itself.

In the graph of the app you can see that the mobile phone goes into deepsleep normally after a while and the processor clocks down. But then the problem occurs. Without the mobile phone being used, the processor utilisation goes to 100%. Fortunately, the processor does not clock up to 100%, otherwise the mobile phone would be empty in the morning!

In the monitor app, you can see that the system kernel has utilised the mobile phone and not an app.

Therefore, this problem can only be fixed by updating Nothing!

Here is another screenshot of the Monitor app:

The mobile phone has been charged to 80%. Used for a while and then not touched again. As you can see, the clocking and usage is going down, as it should be. But then at around 9 pm the usage goes up to 100% and the clock rate increases. At the end of the screenshot you can see a small peek when I use the mobile phone again.

I have reported all this. But as always, nothing happens.

Nothing is a brand like all the others. A lot of fuss about the alleged connection to the community. But at the end of the day, it’s all hot air and it’s all about the money.

Buy the product, shut up, don’t bother and buy a new product soon.

and this:

The problem doesn’t occur often enough for a malware app, and I can see in the GSAM Battery Monitor app that the kernel is the problem. Unfortunately not exactly which process of it. What would be the point of finding out exactly which process is causing this. I couldn’t do anything about it anyway.

I also did a factory reset and the problem was still there afterwards. (without installing any apps)

I haven’t installed any ‘weird’ apps either, just the ‘usual’ stuff and not even that much of it.

I now have no hope that the problem will be fixed. There are too many things that are wrong and Nothing doesn’t care.

Battery drain, charging performance lower than advertised, touch sensitivity, pale colours, inconsistent low backlighting and so on.

All things that have been reported and discussed here in the forum, but nil happens. No real bugs are fixed but rather new features like the shared widget are added. *slow clap*

The 2a plus is my first Nothing Phone and most likely the last.

It’s the same rubbish as OnePlus. At the beginning everything is great and fresh, but after a short time everything falls apart and the quality drops.
