After this stable version 4.0, I didn’t see any additional improvements. I believed the control panel should be more translucent and the battery icon ought to include softer edges.

Acid_css1754 HEY I HAVE DOWNLOADED THE NOTHING 0S 4.0 ( beta version) then I rolled back to 3.2 version from the link nothing has given under roll back section and now I am stuck at 3.2 os not able to update it to 3.5 or even get 4.0 stable

Hey guys, I’m wondering if I’m the only one who hasn’t received the update for the Nothing Phone (2a) because I’m on a beta version. Do I need to roll back to the stable version (3.2) to get the official update?

Allen_S_Kunnel

NODATA The same is happening to me. I didn’t enter beta program but after installation it showed that ur in beta. Again when I restart it it is showing that I am in beta program

KJ.

Did anyone else’s Nothing OS update just disappear? I received the notification earlier today, but I was busy so I swiped it away to do it later. When I went back to Settings > System Update just now, it says I’m up to date. The file is gone. I’ve heard people saying the new update causes lag and performance drops—did Nothing pull the rollout mid-way

//project2 It doesn’t work strangely for me. I don’t get this displayed.

Maybe because I don’t come from the beta? Could it be that it goes first to the beta people and then to the rest?

The job of the Guys Nothing team was to make the announcement, and they did that. Whether any update is received or not is not their concern. Frankly, my suggestion is to switch to another brand.

Grynd

Я писал в техподдержку, всё будет но постепенно, о сроках ничего не написали.

RajKishan_ovHSIp3sDn

karthie2 ok

karthie2

_rx_PU7U6HEKzi Okay, understood. Since no timeline was given, how long do we have to wait for the new update? This is really disappointing.

RamBod

This is the second Beta which is why you guys who weren’t participating in Beta version didn’t get the NO4.0. You should still wait for the stable version.

Syssm

RamBod It is clearly written in the announcement that it is a stable update and for everyone, Do you know the difference between stable and beta?

RamBod

Syssm

Just see the B4.0. Besides, when you restart your phone you will get the beta notification
