Packed with exciting new features to make your smartphone experience as efficient and personal as possible. To deliver the most perfected update yet, we’re in the process of Beta testing on Phone (2). Open Beta 2 is your chance to get early access to our newest improvements. Plus an exclusive preview of Android 14. In addition to what we shared [in the previous phase of our Beta programme](https://nothing.community/d/1935-nothing-os-25-open-beta-1-phone-2), this update includes: **Glyph Interface:** * Glyph Progress integration for Google Calendar. Keep track of your upcoming events with a 5-minute countdown via the Glyph Interface. * Glyph Timer now supports time presets, allowing you to quickly set your desired duration. * Glyph Timer can now be opened directly from the lock screen without unlocking. * Added an option to open the Glyph Timer pop-up window by tapping instead of holding. This also works with the Quick Settings widget. * Added a new Glyph animation when NFC is used. **Other improvements:** * Predictive Back is now supported on all Nothing apps. * Added more options for the double-press power button gesture. * Improved the reliability of the three-finger swipe gesture. * Updated several status bar icons. * Many other minor UI improvements. * General bug fixes. **⚠️ Disclaimer: Since this is a Beta version, there’s a very small chance the test software may interfere with your data and require a factory reset. In this instance, your data will be lost.

rammurti1186

SURENDRAKUMAR_vUxibwHrLA disable Developer mode if enabled?

KrishSolanki

I wish they make the dark mode a proper black theme, not like the current greyish one.

Also I would want to see a new dialler and call ui.

ZohaibKhan

ZohaibKhan Can anyone please confirm this?

Sickchild72

ZohaibKhan Factory Reset recommended but not needed for transition.

Sickchild72

Why is everyone still “waiting” for NOS2.5 even though NOS3.0 is coming?

Hint; Q3 Community Update YT video

SURENDRAKUMAR_vUxibwHrLA

Sickchild72 I don’t think so nos 3.0 is coming Q3 also

Mr Steel

ZohaibKhan This is what I am expecting, and what has happened in previous beta’s.

ZohaibKhan

Sickchild72 Thanks for the confirmation. So no need to reset. That’s good. Also after stable version is released and installed, future updates will be all stable and not beta. Right?

AmanKumar_988KO0JH5K

when we will recieve stable update on nothing 2

Rob ⚡️ Could you consider the possibility of using a USB-C microphone to record with the video camera? The option doesn’t currently exist, and it’s essential for content creators. Recording conditions aren’t always optimal; I have to resort to using Google’s GCam, but it doesn’t work correctly.

SoumyaNC

Not able to understand new battery stats in Android 14. Even after charging the mobile to 100% it is not resetting. Not even the screen time. Can anyone through some lights

ZohaibKhan

I want to use passkeys with third party manager but i can’t find password and identity option. Can anyone please provide some info

Rob ⚡️ any update on camera improvement during night mode can nothing team improve overall picture quality taken during night mode. Hdr is over processed picture look animic. 90 percentage time failed to capture better photo on moving object. need option to capture non HDR photos. Glyph interface need option to choose only one glyph light for call notification when the phone is ringing I want only one light to be blink without using glyph composer . Nothing phone 3 please release two versions one with smaller screen size and bigger one like nothing phone 2. If nothing improve the overall camera quality and add an option to capture timelapse photos without any special option to choose on pro mode then this will be the better camera than most of the phones
