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.

It is high time we need a nothing OS style settings icon instead of this default Android icon.

Hey, I was just wondering why are these dots sometimes white and sometimes grey in OS5 Beta?

Was this on purpose?

Does it convey additional information?

Is it possible to turn it off (make them all white again)?

Thanks in advance!

turkaslan do a proper Nothing account sign out in settings and then login again in your Nothing account in settings. Maybe reboot. After that sign in to essential apps.

My friend, please don’t misunderstand me.

I’m tired of seeing this method suggested.

I don’t know how this ridiculous tactic worked, but…

The number of people who have tried this and failed to find a solution is greater than the number of people who have tried and succeeded.

HIMANth hi, same issue for me. Only way for the moment is to reboot the phone. But I have the issue multiple times per day.

Does anyone know when are we going to get next OTA update to fix chrome issue? I understand developer options is a work around, but just wanted to know what are the timelines for the update

Will I get the next beta versions if I accidentally clicked on rollback?

Yes, you can still get them. I haven’t tested it personally, but I recommend backing up your data.

Nothing OS Feature Requests

Frosted Glass: Add a subtle frosted-glass/blur effect to the Quick Settings panel and App Drawer for more immersive look.

Wi-Fi Toggle: Please make the Wi-Fi Quick Settings toggle a true one-tap on/off switch, so tapping it fully disables Wi-Fi instead of only disconnecting from the current network.

Please Nothing thing please please i am begging you. Please add the 😭😭😭😢🔹🔸

Please please please please please please please Nothing Team please 🙏🙏🙏

yaa the new lucent theme i want also in apps icons control center choice based and and in system wide integration hope uh nothing teams is reading all the feedback most of theme are asking of this only 🤞 hoping suprise on stable update

aleexreid Thanks for the detailed report, really helpful that you’ve broken each issue out separately.

A couple of things that’d help narrow it down: does the scrolling lag show up right after a reboot, or only after the phone’s been running for a while, and is the typing lag following the same pattern? That distinction would tell us a lot about whether this is a memory/thermal thing building up over time or something present from boot.

Some app not open

Hello nothing team, why doesn’t the NOS 5.0 support Lucent theme in the Quick settings and app drawer. Plese make it happen it will look cool.

Second thing please give an extra option so that in lucent theme we get those nothing red instead of getting expressive colour.

Third the bluetooth and the wifi tile doesn’t fully turn off the service isntead it just disconnect the connection.

I hope Nothing Team reads this thread and my comments.

My chrome or any browser does not open when I click a link it just gets stuck and hangs up the phone. This was on beta os 5.0

DJ

AdhishBharadwaj To fix the Chrome issue. Enable developer options and reboot your device.

Major problem. My Chrome app has stopped loading. Facing same issue with all the other google apps. May be because I use google apps only. But the apps are failed to load. Pages in chrome are not loading since 3 days now. Please help team
