VaibhavSingh_xetXSqZoeE Charging meter is not available in 3a or 3. You have to use a separate app like GlyphNexus

This NOS4.0 is little bit buggy. I am using Nothing phone 3a. The NOS3.2 was not so much buggy it was good 😊 but this update i face a little 🪲 bug almost every day but in NOS3.2 I faced a 🪲 bug in like a month. So Nothing please fix it.

Bei mir überspringt die Akkuanzeige seit OS 4.0 immer Prozentpunkte. Von 100 direkt auf 98 oder von 51 auf 49. Hat das noch jemand?

Sometimes when clicking pictures in 4X or 5X zoom or any zoom , the photo doesn’t show and it says :- “Can’t load the photo , Try again later” and after some time it shows :- “Can’t show this photo” . Why this error is coming in showing photos sometimes even in a good midrange phone , even cheap phones in the market don’t have such bugs , Please fix it

I have been getting this problem since Nothing OS 3.5 but didn’t posted it thinking that Nothing OS 4 will fix it , but it still exists, don’t know why?

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Since the Nothing update (OS 4.0), an error message has appeared mentioning this very issue (Logtool problems). It appears and disappears quickly, and it’s been happening every day!

(I have the Nothing Phone 3a Pro) (Model A059P)

I tried dialing (*#*#570#*#*) but it closes abruptly. I also cleared the cache and restarted, but nothing changed. I hope a developer sees this and releases an update fixing this bug.

Hi, catastrophic update, everything works fine, but mobile data is catastrophic. Everything reset, no improvement, only 10 Mbit/s download. On Samsung A34 the speed is 13x faster. What happened, the CPU is bad, is there a problem?

ArpanPatra_mMaktrjnZD I don’t know about the rest, but suddenly services and apps stopped responding on my (3a) Pro, too. This wasn’t an issue before, but this week I met with this issue way too many times. At one point YouTube stopped so critically that I couldn’t even interact with it.

AndrewHumphreys

Has anybody who bought their Nothing (3a) Pro through EE received the Nothing OS 4.0 update via the usual over the air update process?

roberthodgson

AndrewHumphreys hey ,I got mine through EE and I still haven’t got my update yet how long have you had yours

AndrewHumphreys

roberthodgson I updated manually via offline updater tool. I’m trying to find out if EE is blocking the OTA update for those who purchased a Nothing phone from it.

roberthodgson

AndrewHumphreys how did you do that pleas I’m completely new to all of this .

AndrewHumphreys

roberthodgson follow the instructions here:

https://github.com/spike0en/nothing_archive

roberthodgson

AndrewHumphreys ,thank you very much my friend mission accomplished ,both mine and the wife’s phone is now updated ,you are a absolute legend .

AndrewHumphreys

roberthodgson it wasn’t me who set up the archive. Did you buy your devices from EE or directly from Nothing?

roberthodgson

AndrewHumphreys I know it wasn’t you mate I’m just saying thank you for the link and the advise ,I got mine from EE.
