i honestly thought it’s only going to be a week but I’m wrong. Maybe we’re lucky that we didn’t get the update given the bugs

The Nothing Phone (2) exhibits abnormal behavior when receiving calls on WhatsApp or through the regular call function, leading to the mute of the caller’s voice while I am engaged in Youtube, resulting in an inability to hear anything until I restart and redial.

Bring the Recent App/Task Lock to avoid clearing it. The below video link is FYR.

Just got latest update 2.5.2 in UK, phone works flawlessly, better battery performance that’s for sure, animations are bit janky but overall so far so good

Also wow now the finger print sensor works much faster, finally!

Hi, , after updating to the latest Android 14 update on nothing phone 1 (2.5.2), on standby ,battery drain is excessively high, my device was connected on wifi and also battery saver was on , the charging dropped from 71% to 55% overnight on standby, if I turned off the battery saver mode , one day battery dropped from 60% to 20% on overnight standby. There was no such problem on Android 13, standby time was good on Android 13. Please fix this.

VikramVikrant it’s normal to experience this shortly after an update. See how it goes over the next few days and if you’re still having unusual battery performance then please provide feedback via Settings > System > Feedback

For me, i don’t have these problems whit battery life. For me battery is very good on 2.5.2. I don’t know how you lose that much battery overnight, i lose like 2%.

Hi Guys, After the recent 2.5.2 update, I notice that whenever I lock my phone inside an app and unlock it, it directly goes to the home screen and not to the app that was open when I locked. This is so annoying when I am in call also, it goes to the home screen and each time I have to reach the status bar and open the call screen. I have searched the settings thoroughly on whether there is some option to disable it and I got nothing. So I think this is a genuine bug. Can some one please address this issue or some one who is currently facing this, any way of resolving it?

I tried to update the software to nothing os2.5, but I getting installation error.bhow to resolve the issue

Please bring back the original screen on time graph

Or at least give us an option to change the view of the graph

I can understand that the phone battery isn’t performing as expected but this new way is just not that meaningful

When I am talking to someone during a call, if I answer the call when another call comes in, the sound cuts out and the sound disappears during the call. after the android 14 update.

SamArya

After the 2.5.2 update in phone 1, I am not able to hear the voice during call. Everytime I need to restart my phone and then the call seems fine. This happens randomly.

Gert_NnBI1snPYx

After the 2.5.2 update in NP1 , my phone have strange issue. When I charge or hold the phone on car magnetic holder and I unlock the phone, then the

voice level indicator comes and leaves itself from screen.

Now I understand that this issue is related with car bluetooth connection. When the phone is not connectid with car bluetooth system, then everything work perfectly and when I connect phone to car bluetooth system then the issue started. With android 13 was no such problem, issue.
