Quick Update: I backed up my data and did a factory reset on my phone, which resolved most of the issues. Around 90% of the problems are fixed, though I’m unsure if they might return. For now, the UI feels much smoother.

After the 3.0 update, I noticed several bugs, like a random mouse cursor appearing (similar to using a Bluetooth mouse via OTG). That issue is now resolved. I also found the new app archive feature, which wasn’t available before the factory reset. However, I’m still unable to set wallpapers via the Nothing Gallery app. It works if I enable Google Photos, but that makes Google Photos the default, which is inconvenient.

Network issues are mostly resolved, though occasional inconsistencies remain, which seem to be caused by the operator.

With more storage now, the system feels fluid, but I still need to test it with heavy apps and games. I’ll provide an update after a week. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions—it really helped resolve these issues.

    Have you been installing non play store apps? It sounds like spyware is making your phone lag. My Phone 2 runs nothing like you describe.

      The phone slowness is pretty real after 3.0 installation. After pressing the lock button it actually takes 2-3 seconds to turn the display off.

      Faced the issue of phone restarts, never happened with 2.6 but with 3.0 it’s happening often. Not sure how to collect the logs and report it. I feel even the beta release was more stable.

      The thing is they are very bad in transitioning Android. I did a reset today sacrificing my Sunday and everything is working fine. Its even more smooth now. Battery backup is very good. Hope I don’t jinx it. 🫤

        hauntedwolf then it sounds like there’s malware running in the background. The phone lags because the apps you are aware of using are not the only ones active.

          Update:- I am still facing issue with Network. I don’t know why. The same family member with same operator with another phone model has good or way better stability than me. Its very inconsistent.

          AAQIF BHAT I also feel delay in turning bluetooth on and off in my phone 1 on os 3.0 beta

            I live in Europa, and I’m also experiencing issues with the WiFi connection on this device. I have a Ubiquiti WiFi 7 system, and I understand that the phone only supports WiFi 6E. The problem is that it struggles to connect to the 6 GHz band; it always defaults to the 5 GHz band, even when the 6 GHz band isn’t congested and I’m right next to the access point.

            AAQIF BHAT now you mention it I suppose it is abit jittery on Bluetooth sometimes, it’s very minor though and it’s only the beta
