Why can’t Nothing phone take long screen shot in apps like Samsung phones?

insanepotato

sunil_lekhwani what do you mean? You absolutely can. There’s an icon with 2 arrows after you take a screenshot that let’s you take scrolling screenshot.

Nothing phone 3a not got updated

Battery related information

Yes

Grigius I’d argue with that. I think to make everyone happy, deva need to give that control to users, either from glyph settings or developer options.

Grigius

X0R Exactly, that’s why I would like more options

Hi Community,

even since I updated the NP3 with the December update i am seeing a huge battery drop in idle time.

Like I full charge it, go to bed at mid night with 100% and wake up 8 hours later and phone battery at about 80-85%.

Anyone else facing same issue?

kkr8474 With AOD enabled, I lose about 6-8% overnight in 8-9 hours. During use, I notice a higher consumption than before the latest update.

I don’t have the AOD enabled even then it’s that bad.

AngryBadger3 you can turn it on or off in the settings, however it will still show next to the battery when you pull down the settings menu

AngryBadger3

nljh yea I’m fully aware of how to change the status bar display. That was not my complaint. I said I don’t like it inside the battery icon. It’s hard to read inside.

I like having my percentage showing. If I didn’t have it showing, I wouldn’t care where it was.

Firmware (bot) I think the camera needs to be optimized.

The new battery %age is awful… Practically illegible even with my glasses on! So now I have to lock my phone and read the battery % off the lock screen now??!

Who asked for this anyway??! So many other issues/requests by users and this took precedence??! Eg I’m thoroughly fed up with Nothing OS killing background apps and tasks (especially Accubattery) even when Battery Optimisation for that app is set to OFF, when other OEMs have implemented App Lock for years now…. Yesls, I have submitted Feedback on this already and gotten a blah blah response back…

Few about time to, just arrived in the UK. Downloading now, then let’s see what’s what.

So my phone is in dark mod , when I try to open my apps which are app locked through fingerprint, the left side of the side became little glitchy only for the moment when I unlock the app. After that it becomes normal is it a bug or something??
