We'll be rolling out even more features for Nothing OS 4.1 in the future, so please stay tuned. Take a look at what's included in this update: **New Features** ⏲️ Introduced the lock screen clock face from Phone (3a) Community Edition, co-created with the community member Jad Zock, featuring an exclusive typeface style and unique waking-up effect. 📡 Live Updates now work across various scenes, such as the lock screen, notification panel, and Glyph Interface, tracking real-time progress from apps, like Google Maps, just at a glance. 💬 Essential Notifications settings UI has been reworked with a cleaner look and descriptions for easier use. 🫧 Notifications that are frequently interacted with may be suggested to be set as Essential Notification. **Notes:** Live Updates compatibility with apps depends on local availability and specific app integration. **General Improvements and Bug Fixes** 🍃 Optimised the stability of Time-lapse mode shooting in the Camera app. 🔭 Fixed an issue where the SuperRes zoom frame could remain on the screen when switching presets. 📱 Fixed some display errors in the notification panel and Quick Settings. ⚙️ Enhanced overall system stability and performance. 🛡️ Updated to April 2026 security patch. **Notes:** Your device may use more power and feel warmer during installation. Performance will return to normal after the update is complete.

So, I’ve updated to the new 4.1 version yeah, but ever since I can’t seem to make calls or recieve them. Same goes for text messages. The volTE icon doesn’t appear on the top right corner. Can anyone help me with this issue ? Thank you.

I have noticed today that my battery is draining a lot more after the new update

I’ve sadly stopped using my 3a now and in the process of selling it. My main issues are:

Battery life has gone from 9-10 hour+ SOT to 6-7 with ZERO change in my apps or usage
Camera has always been unreliable for my use case (I only take photos of family)
Phone calls randomly don’t work and you have no idea when it bugs unless you try to make a call and realise it’s non-functional. Seems aeroplane mode can fix it, but it’s a pretty critical bug all telephone calls in or out just cease to function at random. This possible affects a lot of people and they’ve never even know about it unless they attempt to make a call…

I’ve started using my work issued Samsung S25 as my main phone and surprised a bloatware filled Spamsung with a 4000mah battery gives me better SOT than my Nothing 3a now.

Does anyone have a feeling that recently the performance of high res zoom and and night shots have significantly degraded?

The photos used to be crisp and somewhat good but now there are hell lot of grains and no details.

SelvakumarM nothing phone 3a update 4.1 to 4.0, will it cause any problems with the phone? Will I get the next updates after coming to 4.0?

TusharSabbir try to reset. I don’t have these kind of problems. I am from Bangladesh. For me, so far experience is good. I still think of original android 16 control panel is great, I don’t like nothing control panel.

Hey guys,

the 3a PRO still has the Andoid Auto issues with Volkswagen/Skoda cars. It continues to get recognized as a generic “VOLCANO_QRD_SN” device and the connection between the car and the phone fails. Is there anyone aware of this? Is this a bug in the car firmware or on 3a PRO?

And yes, befor you ask: I tried different USB-C cables, other phones (2a with Android 16 works, phone1 works too), and USB developer settings on 3a PRO
