Hey everyone! To help keep things organised, we’ve created this thread for all of your comments and discussions on our OS3 Beta on Phone (2a). To clarify...

Why am I not able to find the gallery app on NOS3 Beta

hrry

VikramSavioMoses The gallery app is not part of the current NOS3 Beta. The app is coming soon but, timescales have not been confirmed.

Heera

VikramSavioMoses they haven’t included yet . Maybe in next build they will rollout

yash_3 I’m having issue autofilling login/password details with bitwarden as well. I found a workable workaround, but will be reporting more to nothing.

Another issue that I experienced is that YubiKey is not working with Firefox. Solution was to download Firefox Beta and it worked there.

yash_3 I am currently using nothing OS 3.0 beta since 5 days now, to be honest I am not facing this issue. It’s perfectly working on my phone, even autofill on keyword is working..

ShubhamVedpathak

has anyone noticed a better battery backup after 3.0 update or is it just me?

Shiivampatel

ShubhamVedpathak Even I had experience way better battery life on my nothing phone 2a in 3.0 beta, Even I am also happy now with my charging speed (using samsung 25 ways watt with original nothing cable)

2nd Review (update after 7 days .os 3.0 beta 1 )

Pros

Everything feels smoother . No lags or jitters.
Battery optimisation done nicely no idle drainage issues faced.
No call drops or mobile data drops but ( 1 con related to it discussed in cons.
Camera opening speed has improved but jitters while opening recently clicked photos although processing time is on lower side from 2.6.
Quick settings design change is a welcome especially auto brightness.(Some cons related to it also).
Lock screen customisation is also nicely done and easy to use. (My pov is in cons)
Call quality remains good.
Battery health updates although not shown in percentage but cycle count and health like good is shown and also charge limitations like 70,80,90% were good additions .

CONS
1. Biggest issue i have with nothing 2a from beginning is its charging speed is very slow especially if it is hotter then may be 3 hours but at room temperature takes 1.5 hours and in ac at 16 takes 50 or less.. like seriously my op7t used to charge in 50 mins yeah 3700 mah battery but with only 30watt..
2. 2nd biggest issue and no solution in Android 15 for it also that is when using camera from third party apps especially telegram, or whatsapp or snapchat ,camera behaves like nokias 2mp cameras . And in snap chat it cant focus or have a clear quality videos .
3. Related to Mobile data : while downloading something mobile data becomes unavailable on its own like i switched off it this also happens in morning when i wakeup and unlock the phone. I used to face issue mobile data temporarily unavailable while switching data jn 2.0 .
4. They revamped quick settings without thinking and if i remember this was a concept used by a community member before official reveal. Yes it is good but removing tile names removes minimalistic approach of nothing.
5. They have removed flip to glyph from quick settings and added a seperate button for glyph torch.
6. Also in lighht theme it gets very difficult to find what is turned on and off.
7. Added clock designs only in white colour. And u cant change colours and all.
8. No options to change screen recording quality or a floating button to start or stop screen recording.
9. Issue with mail notifications until u open mail app u don’t receive any notification even though u have notifications turned on.
10. Yes It is googles fault while using Android auto phone getts hotter and u cant even use a app properly or open it it will lag like Samsung’s 2014-15 phones.
11. Minimalistic approach faded for nothing only widget adding can’t make phones minimalistic.smart drawer (yes beta although) cant let you change folder location or swap or drag apps in another folder.
12. Pinning apps should be like even though if you pin a app either pinned app section should be fixed while scrolling drawer or app that is pinned should be also available in drawer as sometimes you forget you pinned a app and then boom after scrolling u remember and there goes minimalistic approach. This is it but there are more cons and less helpful features .. like no media output selection option in volume drawer.

Do I understand correctly that it is now possible to limit the maximal charge value of the battery?

burcandy quoting the post that announced NOS 3.0 beta:

“Phone (2a) users in Japan will not be able to participate in Open Beta 1 due to FeliCa restrictions.”

Hi,

Few apps are crashed and not opening in OS 3.0 beta (example : Instagram, Myntra and few third-party apps.)
I disable notification on lock screen, but it still shows the notification icon for 1sec , it’s not working as expected.
Music visualisation isn’t working as expected.
Please add Ndot font, and other as well, so user can choose their preferred font.
Please add more features to AI create wallpaper.

Hafeez_Shaik_2 I suggest you report any issues through settings > Tips & Feedback > Feedback in order to be sure that your problems will be analysed. While it is important to make the community aware, the feedback system is actually the only way to assure that tickets will be generated/processed.

I am having trouble playing music connected to my car. The Bluetooth connects without any issue. The music is playing but the sound is coming from phone instead of car. Also to note, I have reset the Bluetooth and paired again to test the same. Also cars firmware is latest and my other phones are working without an issue. Anyone with any pointers or suggestions?

OmerSheetrit

everything that has been said that will be added is there but the countdown widget, screen saver, nothing gallery, widget sharing and a lot of dot matrix is gone which is a shame but for what there is and should be, the update is great

readability of the n-dot font? Seems like the majority want it back. I had no issues reading it and I am an old fart with bad eyes. Switching over to my cmf phone 1 so I can still have the n-dot font on the phone. At least for another 2 months that is.

Why change the password dialer to this from what it used to be on OS 2.

This feels like every other cheap android phone with lazy skins with zero design identity.

Please fix it back to how it was!

The round key targets were more user friendly with clearly defined targets, and looked way better and in line with the overall aesthetic..

Why strip it down to these naked digits??

Hope it’s a bug!

mafcarvalho

AyoMartins from my point of view it’s actually better now. The simple animations make it harder for bystanders to guess and memorise our pins.

I forgot to write this in review..

Are you guys facing issue while playing music there isn’t any media player shown on lock screen? And i have enabled disabled everything but still it doesn’t show up on lock screen?..

Shiivampatel

Amarjeet4320 I am facing this issue (but very rarely) with YouTube music player, sometimes it’s not showing on lock screen…but after you lock and unlock the phone, it’s back to normal!
