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.

SpinalZero

The update broke my mobile data. I literally get 0.2kbs pretty much at all times now! I need an immediate fix

Morgan_gQLx67pTAW

Ever since the updates I am basically unable to use my mobile internet in any capacity. It has drastically decreased the general speed I would get when browsing. I have obviously tried moving and being within better signal and that also does not improve the issue

Looking for some guidance as I primarily use mobile data on my 3a as I use it whilst travelling

I have tried resetting my network settings with no luck as well as auto DNS off but neither of these

Is anyone facing battery drain issue after updating to the new nothing OS 4.0 in Nothing Phone 3a

Tom_Ho_ej_

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?

Nothing Phone 3a Pro, OS 4.0

Ponche_D9tQL0nFH1

I’m using a Nothing 3A, and ever since the recent update, a strange popup appears and disappears extremely quickly during use.

I had to record a video and extract it frame by frame to identify it—it says that the “log tool keeps stopping.”

The app can’t be deleted or disabled, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue and found a solution?

shubhesh_jha

Ponche_D9tQL0nFH1 yes for me too

SpinalZero

I got the update finally

The data usage shown in the Quick Settings data tile keeps changing. Even when the data cycle is set to the current day, it sometimes switches back to showing usage since the 1st of the month. Please look into this bug. I am attaching screenshot before and after restart.

Anonymous1078

MubeenAhmed I reported that bug during beta… lol

MubeenAhmed

Anonymous1078 Then, why these guys are not considering?
