Phone (2) - Battery Drain Discussion
- (Edited)
Hi, I am having a issue with android auto, would love to know if its normal or it really is an issue. So when I use android auto my phone connects then the screen goes off on my phone. However the problem is android auto drains the battery very quickly. I checked my battery info and it shows android auto is taking screen on time but my screen shows turned of. Shouldn’t it be showing background battery as screen is turned of instead of screen on time? so I don’t know if this is a bug or this is normal. Please view the screenshots below

Use the official Nothing 45 W charger. I typically get 40 W and above charging speeds on the same Electron application

The phone charge is not keeping up, it’s getting reduced fastly within few hours, and also I was playing low spec game like temple run, even for a min the phone was really hot. I could feel the heat sensation outer from my phone’s case , ther is to be noted I was inside my house at normal room temperature, so that’s a big issue of the phone , when I charge at morning and take back at 80 percent to my office, it barely survive 3hours or even a half , and as for camera, the recent photos are getting destroyed I don’t know why this happens , the quality is too bad, I have noticed from the biggning every user complaint on camera and it’s shots, although company tries to bring the updates , that doesn’t solve the picture quality problem still now. Not quite sure I do feel like you guys out there same feeling that the company focuses on newly released fresh phones too much for their user experience and ignoring the previous models even if they tag them as “FLAGSHIP” . The os is getting worse day by day . This is not a complaint it’s just a concern from a truly Nothing user. I do wish my phone and the successor and it’s predecessor gets be in their top notch form,
Which firmware?
You are not the first, and not the last talking about the heating problem…
And honestly? I’m getting scared. I’m waiting for the NP 2(a)+ to get my very first Nothing and I hope that those issues will be patched soon!
m.i.tsui. we have bought 2 phone 2a’s and one phone 2 which i am using and all of the 3 work fine, go ahead for whatever you are planning, def the phone 2a+ is better than the regular 2a
Rob maybe upcoming software updates will help?
Abdul-Muhaymin Just wait brother and your phone will be like NP2 in a year or so with all the issues we are facing. They are releasing new phone with good optimized software and when it passes the warranty mark, the problems then start to arise. Nothing’s software is very good and their business tactics are not good. My NP2 phone is super smooth but the battery and processor is bleeding like hell. In a matter of time its health will degrade and then I am going for other brands.
Abdul-Muhaymin yeah I really hope so… Especially for the copper plate that they put on the back of the phone to prevent overheating apparently… High hopes
totalsandy stop shaming the product just because you got a faulty unit or you didn’t use it properly , this is not a good thing to say since i plan to use this phone for 5 years or so since i bought this phone with hard earned money , not some bucks from trees . So stop making someone feel bad that their Phone will die in sometime

Abdul-Muhaymin I am saving your reply for the time being and if you are in this community forum for 5 years and crying back for the same, I shall post the screenshot back to you. And fyi everyone purchase gadgets with their hard earned money as if you are not the first one to do so. Stop being a fanboy and there is not point fighting with a stranger behind a keypad. Good luck to you
DhelipanRaj same battery darin issue for my nothing phone 2
Hey mate,
you say your NP2 is 2 days old? It does take a few days for all the various usage algorithms, processes and applications to get their baselines. The phone is learning about you, how you use it and when you use it. There’s a ton of setup activities that go on in the background of a fresh device.
First check you have adaptive battery turned on… settings > battery > adaptive battery. That will help in the long(er) term with battery drain. Also if you’re tethering that does use extra battery, especially if signal strength is weak(er).
Chess & YouTube are using significant battery. Check they’e updated and Nothing OS is up-to-date too.
I’d suggest…. give it a week to 10 days, if battery drain persists, speak with support. But, this doesn’t look out of the ordinary for a new device.
