Prevent quick settings access when phone is locked

I would suggest submitting this as a feature request using via your phone’s Settings > System > Feedback option.

After 2 months of using the Nothing Phone (2) i have compiled a list of feature updates and notes I believe might add value to the User Experience.

—

Nothing X Widget

• Widget defaults to the “X” graphic when inactive/no bluetooth device is connected. (widget functions remain unchanged). Reason: Adding the trademark “X” logo that is already used to denote the Nothing X App retains continuity and helps to beautify the Home screen as opposed to the current square tile that says “Turn On Bluetooth” which IMO seems borderline condescending to the user… Also, might I suggest using a round tile with the “X” logo (defaulting to the square, as it already is, when widget is active. In other words no other changes to the rest of the widgets graphics )

File Viewer

• Add icon to delete a file/picture on-screen in preview mode. Reason: When reviewing a photo in file viewer the user must click the top right settings drop-down to select “Move to Trash”. Adding a trash can icon adds more intuitive interface and less complexity for the user.

Volume Control

• Increase resolution of volume increments. (add more segments between max/min) Reason: Increments for ringtone, speakerphone, and call volume are too aggressive. The volume seems to suffer from a, “too loud” to “too soft” in a single click, condition.
• Add option for “Adaptive Environment Control” for speaker volume. Reason: This feature would not affect the actual slider but would help to intuitively supplement the offset of an environment with varying levels of volume. When used, the volume is slightly (and tentatively) increased based on background noise. It should be subtle, so as to leave actual volume control to the user; while keeping the user from constantly reaching for the volume control.
• Add option for “Volume Envelope” for any audio output (to include bluetooth). Reason: Today, Movies, Youtube, Ads, Podcasts, news… The medium really makes no difference. There is a phenomenon going around where one minute you are listening to someone speak at an audible level. Then the scene changes in the movie, or another guest speaks, ect. and the speech is so soft you can no longer understand it. Adding volume envelope processing keeps the speech at a fairly constant level.

Glyph Composer Features

• Change to an 8/16 beat drum machine style input interface. Reason: Quantizing is not implemented in real time or post-processing resulting in less than perfect results. Furthermore, this requires significant skill and trial/error on the part of the user. 8/16 beat drum machine matrix completely eliminates the need for quantization and delivers crisp results.

Battery Conditioning Features

• Add ability to limit max charging to 85-95% and maintain. Reason: Li-Ion batteries are proven to last longer when charge/recharge cycle is kept below the maximum (and minimum) capacity threshold.
• Add ability to choose whether phone charges at accelerated rate. Reason: Li-Ion batteries (as well as many other battery chemistries) respond positively and last many more cycles when recharging at a reduced wattage (in relation to its maximum “C” rating).

Agree with the feature request list.

I would like to add two more-

1.Some “musical” ringtones for us older people. Don’t like the funky ones offered so far.

2.A semi transparent unobtrusive small sized display of day/date/time/current temperature&weather on the home screen.

Users can now easily toggle Wi-Fi, and airplane mode from the lock screen, which may increase the risk of unauthorized use. It’s better to disable access from the lock screen.
