Merged 1 post from Nothing Phone 2 battery draining after 3.0 Update .
Since updating to Nothing OS 3.0 on my Nothing Phone (2), I’m experiencing SEVERE battery drain. Screen-on time is drastically reduced, battery depletes rapidly in standby, and the phone runs hotter. I’ve tried basic troubleshooting (restarts, checking battery stats, adjusting settings) with no improvement. This makes the phone almost unusable.
Is anyone else having this issue? @Nothing, please acknowledge and investigate this. We need a fix ASAP!

Had something similar, the route we took (a bunch of people here with this) was disabling 4g, or 4g calls, and it solved the issue. This was on 2a, so it might not do anything but it’s worth a shot?
Hello All,
Ever since updating Nothing 2 to OS 3, I have been facing serious battery drain issues, and the keyboard is also not smooth. Under battery usage CPU seems to be running at high usage. Also charging is very slow. Has anyone else faced this issue or knows how to fix it?

SudharsanChandrasekar I also heard this issue from many users I think u should factory reset the phone if u are comfortable with it as it is os issue or wait for hotfix update

SamarthNP1 that’s a fingers crossed for me. Scared of what if I miss out on some data even though I take back-up. I think I should wait for the update (I hope they address this. They literally forgot about Nothing Phone (2) is what I feel)
Wow unlike you guys my batter life has increased drastically earlier the LTPO only went down to 10,20 hz now it goes down to 1 for me not just that I’ve been experiencing drastic raise in screentime

I personnaly experienced some battery drain at the begining, but after a few, days, it seems to have stabilized. I wonder if there is not a battery optimization process running somewhere and that it starts to last longer after some days of usage 
My battery life has actually improved after the update significantly
spacexfan Oh yes, it could be that as well.

Still no improvements in battery live for my case (Nothing Phone 2), hope that the next update will fix this
Yeah. Its interesting that it feels like even with the screen off, the battery drains just like i would use the phone..

"Hey guys,
Is anyone else facing battery drain issues on the Nothing Phone (2) after the OS 3 update? My phone is losing 10-15% charge automatically without even using it.
If you’ve experienced this or know a fix, please share!
Yes i also feel that my screen on time reduced after updating to os 3
RobinYohannan Yepp same on my phone the SOT has greatly reduced.
RobinYohannan I also had this issue, and I changed the preferred network type from 5G to 4G in the settings and the issue was fixed.
