Nothing Phone (1) battery degradation.

artsher

So, I’m using this phone for about 1,5 years. There were no hard scenarios for battery within this time: no gaming, no overheating, no overcharge, last 6 months I’m charging subject at night and using 5w adapter. And the result of all of this is 69% health. Just want to ask - wtf? Can someone tell me your opinion and lets compare your battery health. Is the battery in Nothing Phone (1) scam or not? Its cant be possible to degrade such hard for only 1,5 years…

Use genuine nothing charger my battery health ( phone 1 ) is around 90 % after 1.5 years

Stefan I’ve done some investigation via adb, and found that I have around 717 cycles, I cannot be sure about it. So, with some maths, I can say, that its approximately 80% health. But again - without any other proofs. I hope, that one day android devs and vendors will make dedicated monitor for battery health…

After about 500 charging cycle done, battery start to degrade faster. My opinion for you is to charge your phone 60-100% to help you in better battery life. I write everything about this in topic “Phone (1) battery drain”.

artsher

Stefan the problem is that we are actually cannot get a real number of cycles, there are no any 100% working ways. So, I’ve found other app, and it says, that I’ve around 4250mAh still. So I dont know what to think lmao. Devs must to implement some sort of a health monitor for battery…

I know perfect app to check battery health information. Its “a battery” on play store. I personaly used that app and display chagring cycle.

I don’t understand why no one seems to care about this issue or provide any fix for it. After each new update, the phone’s camera and battery performance get worse. I think they might be doing this deliberately to force us to buy a new phone. When I contacted them to replace the battery, they told me they don’t support my country.I don’t understand why they treat us like this. They are a new company and should try to win the satisfaction of most customers. For me, I will change this phone as soon as possible and will never recommend it to anyone. It’s the first company I’ve seen where the phone performs better before updates than after.

darkseid 100% true. I really like how NP1 looks and feels, it’s unique and feels expensive but it has some heavy problems. Its sad, but I’m gonna swap NP for something else too…

It’s frustrating that I posted this two days ago and received no response from the moderators or anyone in the community. I don’t understand the benefit of this community if they don’t engage with users or address their concerns for future updates. I feel like I’ve been misled with this phone and the company.

For me camera and battery is awesome. Battery last long and cameras are pretty good. I don’t understand how people get that problems whit camera and battery performance. For me every new update fix battery and for me last even longer. Video from camera captured in 4K 30fps is beter then before. 🙃

i bought my nothing phone 1, on October 1, 2023.

I used to charge my phone with a 20w adaptor, one-time a day. 100% to 25% cycle.

I measured my Cycle its almost 260+

But my Battery health is on 94-93% (used third party app)

Total mah is now “4235mah out of 4500mah” (used third party app)

Is this normal?

Some methods I personally use to extend the battery life of my phone (1) which is almost 2 years old now and still gets me 6-7 hours SOT. Do note that I’m not a heavy user.

Change refresh rate to 60 hz

Disable auto brightness

Enable dark mode

Disable Wifi/bluetooth Scanning under location services

Disable RAM expansion feature

Enable smart 5G in network settings

Never let the battery drop below 30 percent and ideally below 50.

Always use the nothing charger and remove any case/cover while charging if possible.

Hope this helps!
