After updating to Android 16 I don’t see the song title and the band on car stereo while it’s connected via BT and it’s playing from Spotify if it’s YouTube or something else it’s working.

There seems to be a green tint issue as well. You can see the green tint all over the screen for a short duration on low brightness and tapping on the fingerprint sensor. The colors do change due to it, and the screen flash hits real at night.

Hi I am having phone 3 phone but still I haven’t got security patch for March already new model like 4a and 4apro got nothing os 4.1 but phone 3 haven’t got security patch

NicoSchiffer_Seelenreisen_

Wann kommt endlich mal wieder ein Update ? Die Update Politik von Nothing ist totaler Schrott. Mittelklasse Geräte bekommen eher und schneller Updates als deren Flaggschiff

Til21 🇩🇪

NicoSchiffer_Seelenreisen_ Last update was von 24th February. So at this point Nothing is far far away from a delay, they promise bi-monthly updates. To be honest at this point I cannot really relate to your complaints….

Luca

NicoSchiffer_Seelenreisen_ I tend to agree. I love Nothing and Nothing OS, but it has to be said that the update schedule is terrible. This is particularly true for a high-end device like the Phone (3). I’d also add that receiving an update with security patches that are nearly two months ‘old’ is pretty bad.

ra_ronin

Luca I also agree. It’s kind of disappointing that their 1st flagship phone is crippled by the update schedule and feature compromises (e.g. not being able to dynamic zoom when setting the camera to 50 MP, lack of setting defaults to the camera — setting HDR for video and 50 MP for the photo as defaults).

I also invested in Nothing and I would be sad to change the brand after my Phone 3 doesn’t fulfill my needs.

SL_Neutrino

Since last update, my nothing phone 3 overheats while using android car/ Hotspot or aodnotify.

I have deleted aodnotify, but the overheating problem is still there. I can drive 30 mins than its got heating like hell and android car is no longer working. Hotspot get also deactivated. I don’t charge while driving!

It is android car and not a high-end game 😂 My old A52 5G don’t had this issues and this phone is 5 years old.

Battery is also very fast down…

Is there a fix? 😊

DiegoP_

Fix the black crush/green tint issue please.

KarlKeppler

What exactly happens if you don’t get an update every month, does the phone stop working?

lolifnotely🇮🇱

KarlKeppler He’s simply more vulnerable to manipulation and remote control…

georgios1

KarlKeppler When one pays 799 pounds for a phone, then they expect at least an update every 2 months. We are past 2 months

Alex

georgios1 we are - in fact - not past 2 months. If they publish a new update till april 24th, they are perfectly in time. Though I have to admit, the release of the 4a series with NOS4.1 felt like it was already 2 months ago without a trace of the new feautures on their “flagship”

DiegoP_

Alexa, play Time is Running Out by Muse.

Hopefully new update this week. Phone (3) feels kinda abandoned right now.

Firmware bot This is about the Nothing Phone 3 you guys should be ashamed.. this is about the Nothing Phone 3 you guys should be ashamed we are talking about the Nothing Phone 3, it is the most premium phone and yet it has the January 2026 security update After this you have not given any update till now, you have given update in the later mobiles as well, you have given update in the ones which are older than this, don’t you think that you are doing wrong with your premium customers? Maybe I made a mistake by leaving Samsung and buying Nothing phone, this is my worst experience. Who agrees with me, it’s April 22, 2026, and your most premium phone still has the January security patch.Very useless I did not buy Nothing Phone 3 thinking this you are fooling people you gave regular updates on your new devices there is nothing for old devices and for Nothing Phone 3 No one is even talking about it. Next time I will think twice before buying any premium phone from Nothing.

Anonymous1363 phone 3 user already talked and criticised about it and nothing also gave answer about it…you’re late to the party 🥳

Anonymous1363 last update for nothing 3 was in February. It’s on a 2 month update cycle like every nothing phone. So next update will be this month. Just chill out. It’s not that deep

PinoLY

Anonymous1363 I’m not here to judge your opinion, I’m only telling you that tagging “Bot Firmware” is pointless — just look up the definition of “Bot” on Google.

AaronWhite_N3LrTKEj1S The update is not from February, it is from January, check your mobile.
