Unfortunately is still unavailable in Italy…😐

Hey there! Firstly thanks for releasing this update. I have successfully downloaded and installation and setup process was very smooth and quick in my phone 2a SE. My initial surprise was how smooth and extremely fast the slide animations, touch response was. If I compare with android 14 Nothing OS 2.6 UI Speed with This new Android 15 OS3 has significant faster responsiveness in UI. I am still exploring everything hidden in the settings and widgets area, the new lockscreen, new watch faces, and to my surprise again, am so glad you guys added the nothing community app inside the settings page now I can directly post it from my phone without going for external browser and do logins again and again - (please add a new user profile page with nothing style customizable options in later updates).

  1. I just started using camera in dull interiors and while trying to capture the TV screen the camera software somewhat unable to fix on tap to adjust exposure to the tv brightness where in previous OS 2.6 it automatically captured based on light sensitivity, for normal subjects its taking decent photo but I have not yet compared it with OS 2.6 photos to spot any major difference (I will edit this post once I find any).
  2. Widgets menu: Compared to OS2.6 widgets, I felt like some Widgets are missing from the menu but it was mentioned in the release notes that they are in this update but I couldn’t see any! (need some clarity).
  3. I just rebooted after the fresh update and It looks even better with new display fingerprint animations, loved it. and while keeping the phone on charging that screen effect I loved it.
  4. NDot font yes I am a fan but I am giving this new font a chance and honestly It looks way more attractive. But still I am happy you guys kept the options to choose between Ndot font.
  5. Alright, I’ve just tested the camera with different light conditions and compared to OS2.6 there’s a major loss in LOD (level of details) in near to far distance when capturing in 2x. This wasn’t in 2.6 and 3.0 camera rendering need lot of improvement. Having 50 mp camera and not able to use it is hindering my experience. (Need this fix asap).

I will update this list once I am done explore all new features and see if we are missing any major features from 2.6.

Deepakpurohit i don’t know what I did wrong as not getting any update from nothing team that’s why I tag carl why I get strike 😔

    Smooth and clean OS3. Thanks for adding home screen layout frozen. Thanks again…..

    Merged 1 post from Smooth and clean.

    BTW, background music in the introductory video is a good ringtone candidate. Anyone knows the track name?

    Wishing to see nothing gallery or photos application and many more. Cheers to the team 🎉

      Aw, do that’s why, I did read the post multiple times, must have slipped trough while looking. So it’s per region then right? Can’t wait!

        phillip_mcgraa as stated the rollout will take place between now and the new year for (2a) + (2).

          before the update i could run games greater than 60 fps and 60hz by simply opening the game, putting it to pop out view and then double clicking to return to it and it would apply the 90 fps or whatever the game allowed.

          with nothing os 3, i cannot do that anymore. my games are all stuck in 60 fps and 60hz. hope someone can help me.. thanks!

          After updating to Nothing OS 3.0 the Bluetooth keeps disconnecting.

          It connects, and after about 1 second disconnects, and then connects again and the process repeats until I turn it off.

          I’ve tried restarting my Nothing (2) and forgetting the connections (Tried both with my car and earbuds), it did not work.

          Rob ⚡️ I know it’s great for Nothing community to experience this NOS3.0 update. Yeah it’s great but it still forgot to improve the camera bugs. You can see my earlier posts for reference. And this is not only me but many other people are facing this same issue. We thought this major update would resolve this issue but there is no single improvement on camera. @Carl Please let us know when is this problem going to resolve.

            Finally, it’s here! But it seems like a half-baked update. Most of the major Android 15 features are missing — even themed app icons are also missing.

            Circle to Search seems to be available in the OS, but has been gatekept by the Settings app. Don’t know why they did this. The Settings app already has the code for enabling/disabling CTS, but it just won’t show up in the Gesture Navigation settings. I even found strings in the Settings app that say that the Hide Navigation bar feature needs to be turned off in order to enable CTS.

            Even Private Space seems to be available in the OS, but just like CTS, has been gatekept. The Settings app has Activities to enable/disable Private Space, but they can’t be accessed.

            I’m not too sure about the App Archiving feature, i.e., if it is available in the OS or not (it should be ideally), but the Settings app has some strings related to archiving.

            Satellite Connectivity also seems to be available on the OS side. The Settings app also has some Activities related to it. But I don’t know if it works or not as I don’t think my carrier supports it. On Pixel devices, it works with T-Mobile in the US, so if someone uses it then could they please share if it works or not?

            • Other things like Themed App Icons, 16KB page size (available when searching), default Android equalizer (not sure if it has been removed by Google as well) are missing.
            • The “Powered by Android” badge on the boot up screen is still the old one whereas some of the other Nothing phones use the new badge with a capital “A” as per Google’s terms.
            • Changing the order of the ring, vibrate and silent buttons was unnecessary.
            • A new option called “Scanning for deceptive apps” is there but it turns off as soon as you go back.

            Otherwise the OS is working smoothly without any hiccups. The new animations are nice as well and the lock screen clocks are great too! The new quick settings menu is also working pretty smooth. The Landroid screen saver also looks cool (thanks for keeping it).

            Also, it would be nice if someone from the team could clarify why these features are missing from Nothing OS 3 and if they will eventually be available or not.

            Note: Some of things mentioned above may just be code left behind by the Nothing team and which in reality would not be running at all.

            Rob ⚡️ Hello, I’m from Italy and the update notification hasn’t popped out yet. Also I don’t know if my nothing phone (2) can upgrade to android 15. It doesn’t give me any updates at al
