I am still in love with my phone (2) and never had battery issues since i optimize it very well on the app open source level and neglet services like google or meta.

But i remember going to work and arriving home with about 50% battery. The essential glyph was a life changer for me without having to turn on the screen on every notification, saving battery, so i barely charged it on daily basis.

I guess it degrated since the “steady sleep to charge” or whatever did not work as i would like.

Anyhow, seems that os 3.0 reduced battery life even further… even with like 10-20% degradation.

Media apps consume a alot of battery while i sleep, no matter what i do. I think it is a oem issue even on pixel phones.

In the camera department.. i never cared.

Gcam is always better, and having a snapdragon chip is the cherry on the cake. Too bad the selfies are too “beauty” mode on the regular camera… I just want my detailed ugly mug.

I guess it did not have much success as a new company with flagships, or that many beta testers as other phones, so we are getting slower updates.

The focus is where the money comes. New cheap phones.

I only want Nothing to do a better OS optimization as prior to 3.0, nothing else.

Next time i will wait a few months before os 4.0.

Nothing ground breaking, still stable as ever, but optimize this thing. hell.

@adbo Its quite disappointing to hear the company focus only on upcoming phones now and after the release may or may not turn the focus on previous ones.The fact is these 3 series will become old when newer phones come.This cycle continues.

What Nothing company means service.I came from the legendary Nokia trusted almost 18 years of my life and I know what service and support is.

Although Nothing made Phone 2 with flagship priced without flagship properties,we waited to give the company the time needed to make it right through software and support almost 2 years from the release.Are they forgetting where they came from and how they become now ?

    I am the owner of nothing phone 2 and nothing ear2024. I have no problems with the battery, it holds great. But I’m still very upset that I don’t get constant updates and improvements. There are no built-in apps, in nothing design, but they keep making more and more devices. I know that np1 is still being updated. I hope that np2 will not be forgotten for another couple of years. if the situation with working with user feedback is as sad and I only keep track of the goal of making money on new devices, I will be forced to switch to another smartphone. It is a pity that the speed of work on adding your attachments and realizing the desires of users is so weak. we don’t have any features other than glyphs and pseudo-integration with gpt. But, again, I’m not worried about the system right now - there are no lags or bugs, I’ve already said about the battery - everything is fine here, there’s just not enough new stuff. One of the most infuriating things is when I listen to music and swipe the player icon on the lock screen, I don’t understand how to turn it back on and to change the music or rewind I need to unlock the phone. and if I swipe the player in the upper panel, then I will have to expand the upper panel completely and only from there will I be able to control the music, and so every time I accidentally swipe and until I restart the smartphone, I will not return the player. I really really want to improve the performance of both the front and main cameras.

      What’s your logic for this? The latest Phone (2) update started rolling out yesterday, which is bang on time. Considering the last update was 22nd January, and the promise was always bi-monthly updates, the next update was due by the end of this month, so the team have delivered early.

      Furthermore, Carl already announced that a camera update including the new presets feature will be coming to the older devices too - it just takes time.

            adbo These are updates of “something”. I don’t feel them. I just read the change log and say “ok”. I don’t feel any camera improvements, I don’t see any new apps, new features. I don’t see any fixes for what is being raised in the community.

            Camera presets don’t sound or look like a killer feature.

            I don’t want to be misunderstood. I am pleased with np2. But at the moment, it feels like a diamond that needs to be polished to become a brilliant.
