adbo Hey Adbo. First of all congratulations for being elected as Community Board Observer. Now I am enjoying using my Phone (2) and its great but I feel their Glyph API support could be better. I am making an app which uses glyphs and for API I have submitted form requesting API Key via google form. And after submitting the form they mentioned I would get reply within 5 working days. But its been 2-2.5 weeks but still no reply from them. And last time I requested using form and there also it showed within 5 working days. This I requested without starting the app and for that also they took around 4-5 weeks even tho they mentioned within 5 working days. And this time I have a part completed and sent all the videos and photos evidence. I know they have tons of work to do. But then in google form why not say approximate timeframe to get reply and reply in that timeframe. In this they mention 5 days but they take weeks

Thanks in advance

    Just to let people know what the direction is - I was warned for calling out AI as the wrong direction. I guess we can expect the focus to be on that instead of the everyday usability.

      The camera is currently the weakest link of the Nothing Phone. I know Nothing is aware of this and actively working to improve it. In the meantime, while working on enhancing camera processing, it would be great if Nothing could provide enough tools and features that give users more control over how the camera processes images and videos. This would help users take photos and videos closer to their expectations.

      Suggestions include:

      • Expert mode for videos

      • Better exposure control in regular mode

      • Photography styles, similar to those on iPhones, would be a great addition

      Additionally, it would be amazing to see resources and guidelines to support the community in working on their projects.

      Wassup adam,

      I’ve heard a lot of feedback about the software, but one thing that seems to bug people the most is the lack of native apps like a dialer and messages. I know there’s one in the works, but could it be any faster?

        After 7 months with my 2a i can tell you that:

        Pros:

        • System stability -works cpretty clear
        • Battery life - great screen times i ending the days with 40% usually
        • Widgets - delicies
        • Screen - big and good quality and refresh rate

        Cons:

        • Camera - sometimes the photos isn’t sharp

        • Charging speeds - could be faster

          To developing team - keep doing simple system design.

        Need more wallpapers and ringtones.

          It matters bro, because this is the product where people are gone to take intrest very much ! I am telling the launch event not for sell day . People will see the launch day as the date is related to it ! As 30th is Sunday many people will watch on YouTube of release of Nothing Phone 3 !

            adbo Hey I am from India. In India, most of the internet providers give daily limit to our internet data. But in nothing phone, there is no option to see daily usage data. In other phones we can see this option. before using nothing phone I used Redmi. Redmi have this option and its very helpful to know our daily data usage. can you rise this issue in the upcoming board meeting. we want this feature as soon as possible.
            Thank you for your time

              I got some issues in Phone 2 after update, that many of Apple & other Charger got blacklisted and slowed down speed to 5W, while they can charge faster at speed of 15 to 20 Watt on OS 2.6,

              Battery Drain is happening a little bit (It’s fine for me, but noticed hence told You)

              Just want to know from meet, when will Gallery will natively added to Phone 2 (Google Photos is still default gallery app from Camera Application)

                  NOS needs a security check when you try to disable network access from the lock screen. It is there for location tracking, but I can still put the device in flight mode without any security check from the lock screen.

                  This is a really glaring security issue, since any thief can just shut down the phone and therefore disable tracking a stolen device.

                    Are you aware you can fully disable Quick Settings access from the Lock Screen settings menu? 🙂

                          adbo I am, but that is completely overkill as there are more quick settings than just the problematic ones. That’s like suggesting to turn off the phone to save energy.

                            adbo can we make it virtual for community people , so people can join and ask queries about product and current issues directly?

                              bytesizedreamer well said…the software need to be very minimalistic and much more fluidic

                              @mladen @Rob ⚡️ requesting to adress the concern.

                                  Hey dude, congrats on the new position.

                                  My concerns are from the perspective of the Series B investors.

                                  We were the OG Crowdcube fanboys that scraped up whatever they could to invest in an idea and a bloke we believed in. We came from all over the android universe. Some of us, like me, were ride or die OnePlus. Until the day Carl jumped ship and we all went with him.

                                  We were promised the opportunity to join in another funding round (as would be the norm for Series B investors) but after two additional rounds the fear is we will be passed over and forgotten.

                                  The culture of ‘Community’ is something that has defined Carl and his approach to the business. It’s what draws us to his products. Why else would so many of us invest everything we had in a dude and his ideas, and no products?

                                  I’ve reached out on a couple previous posts to the former CBO, so now I’m back to plead with you to advocate on our behalf.

                                  I know there are many of us that have been patiently stuffing their piggy banks in preparation for the next opportunity.

                                  Cheers mate!

                                    adbo I would like you to suggest the developers at Nothing to give a detailed documentation(if possible with more examples) for the Glyph Developers Kit. Right now there are a few things missing to be mentioned and definitely not beginner friendly so I request you to add this in the upcoming meeting.

                                    Thanks in advance in behalf of all developers out there.

                                      adbo I’m nothings phone 1 user & recently bought cmf phone for my partner.

                                      1)Allow to replaces google app on swipe to oneplus shelf like option.

                                      2)Focus on digital wellbeing, its been long googles wellbeing on beta. I’m not sure google wanted to do this or not.

                                      3)Restart phone just after plugin to charger if phone turn off due to no charge.

                                      4)Need better CMF phones.

                                      a. Poor display, some text are badly displayed with white boards, got vertical lines & green line after 2nd time power up.

                                      b. Please dont launch cheap phone or at least “a” equivalent. We liked the concept. Allow more gadgets like magsafe like accessories.

                                      c.Make back case economical.

                                      5.We need UI consistent apps like notes and more, google drive can be a storage option.

                                      6.Hide glyph lights paths so more people can enjoy nothing devices. When it glows we can can see that other wise that look normal.

                                      7. Introduce alternative file sharing system. quick share wont work consistently. use dedicated wifi module for sharing.

                                      8. Screen is refreshing on charging phone.

                                      9.New apps to folder in home screen not directly.

                                      10.More consistent widget. Even google doesn’t have consistent widgets.

                                        adbo Is there a way to manipulate the glyphs on Nothing phones, especially Nothing 1 and 2? For example, give it a new app or change the rhythm of the silent mode?(I am leaving this message as an Iranian user and since I bought this Koshi I have been extremely satisfied with it and I am happy that I bought this phone)

                                          adbo Maybe talk about display issues of 2a and 2a Plus(green tint and HDR bleeding). It’s really ruining the experience of phone, literally can’t watch a movie properly.

                                            As an investor, I understand Nothing is raising $100m. Can we hear more about this raise. What are the funds for, and what are the terms of the raise.
