Hey everyone, ⚡️ The Nothing OS 5.0 beta is rolling out, and if you’re on it, you’ve probably already got thoughts. This thread is the place to share them. 💬 Whether you’ve come across a bug, found a feature that you want to share, or just want to hear what others are experiencing, jump in. The more people comparing notes, the easier it is to work out what’s a widespread issue and what’s a one-off. A few things worth discussing: Bugs you’ve encountered and how much they’re affecting day-to-day use Surprising features and how you are using them Anything that’s actually working better than anticipated What you’d want addressed before the stable release 🚨 While this thread is a great place to discuss, the official feedback channels are still the most reliable way to get issues in front of the team, so if you’ve found something reproducible, make sure it’s logged there too with the following steps right on your device. ⚙️ Settings > System > Feedback.

I’m having some isse with Bluetooth in the Beta. It randomly autoconnescts to nearby devices. I enjoy this Feature with my Headphones but my Bluetooth is also connect to speakers and more. I Sometimes get a Pop-up that Some devices want to connect to my Phone. This wasn’t the Case with OS4.

Could this be an issue with the Beta or ist this a setting i can Change?

Greetings!

Please fix chrome bug and give update

Anonymous1598 Enable device developer options - that will fix Chrome.

Til21 🇩🇪 this is an excellent video that finally captures what is transporting.

It’s not a display issue as hardware overlays are diabled when the Appswitcher is employ and it’s full GPU being used.

This is identical to Disable Hardware Overlays in developer options.

It’s probably SurfaceFlinger/HAL not being optimised.

Personally, I don’t care and if I cared I would simply Disable Hardway Overlays in Developer Options.

Don’t use BETA software if you can’t afford the risks and bugs. Stick to stable.

grepGander this is not the solution

Mr Steel 🦾 As described right here, which you already read when joining the Beta:

Since this is beta software, it may interfere with your data and require a factory reset. In this instance, your data will be lost. We strongly recommend backing up all your data before accessing and using the software.

Anonymous1598 of course it is. No one is forces you to use this beta. It’s beta for a reason.

Daniel

Anonymous1598 Then rollback to stable. Btw, what is the issue to disable developer options before using an app that blocks it? it’s just a few taps away.

Anonymous1598

Daniel this is not the solution, i asked for. Quick fix, as all the users are facing the same issue, I can’t factory reset my device at this point

Daniel

Anonymous1598 There is no other solution.
