I searched for update on 3 operators and 2 different land internet connections (wifi) and I get nothing. Is any method to force the update? I get it, update is in batches but is already 3rd day.

mohammedtaufeeq_uPwHpDmNPm there are many third party gallery apps available on f-droid and the play store. I recommend fossify gallery.

TedJ Does it have Erase ᶠᵉᵃᵗᵘʳᵉˢ?? Does it have Bokeh ᶠᵉᵃᵗᵘʳᵉˢ?? Does it have recognize text on images ᶠᵉᵃᵗᵘʳᵉ? ☠️

I’d like to ask if users that got the v2.6 update (including July security patch) before, will get this new update too. There are features being shown like limiting the charging percentage, which my Nothing Phone 2a running on v2.6 doesn’t have. Thanks in advance.

TedJ

Nothing001 No, but we were discussing lightweight alternatives to Google Photos.

mafcarvalho

Nothing001 I guess most gallery apps don’t have those features, specially at the level Google Photos has evolved. If you want text recognised in photos you can use Google Lens which actually does a good job at it.

I recently bought nothing phone 2a,This phone does allow switch off the phone without lock and it should have very to power off feature other phones already have this thing this should be fixed imagine if my phone got stolen then it’s very easy for the theft to switch off and turn off location. I hope nothing will fix it and 2.6 update is bit lagging sometimes.

SeikiTHK

I still have issues with the media player widget as it says “Please open any music app” . It used to work when i bought the phone but all of a sudden it just stopped working

Im using Spotify and NP2a

Any fixes??

AltaafAlyidrishi

Today its sept 8 n im still not getting this upadte why

Nothing001

mafcarvalho That’s why people are requesting a gallery app with those inbuilt features who needs Google gallery plus Google lens to do that kinda of task?

Some Cons of Google Photos

Limited storage

No red-eye removal

Lack adding text function in video editing

Don’t have direct share option to Instagram

Don’t automatically back up device screenshots

Hope now you get my point.

Hi Firmware bot
I’ve recently updated my Nothing Phone, and I’ve started noticing some issues with media playback. Specifically, when trying to open apps like Prime, YouTube, or Hotstar, the video occasionally hangs, and I have to restart the phone to resolve it. I’m unsure if this is an isolated issue with my device or if others are experiencing the same problem. If this is a widespread issue, I hope it can be addressed in an upcoming update.

Thanks!

mafcarvalho

DivyanshVirhe it won’t solve your problem though. Any Android phone when you press the power button for about 10 seconds will reboot without any password/PIN/lock code.
