Is anyone facing mobile browsers apps getting freezed when developer options is turned off. It works fine if I switch on developer options any specific reason for this?

Why nothing you are keeping the worst feature of apple. Clicking off wifi toggle now Both on quick settings and widgets. Doesn’t turn off the wifi. It just disconnects the wifi connected. And after sometime it again auto connects to wifi. So now you have to manually open the wifi menu and then turn wifi off. Why the extra click. It was better before. Just click it band then it’s off. This issue is already a problem for apple users. Why coping it I don’t understand

TechDepthStudio

AlexMrngstr69 I suppose you will have to disable the WiFi from turning on automatically, that setting is enabled by default in most Android smartphones

AlexMrngstr69

TechDepthStudio well it’s already off. And it’s happening still. They have copied this implementation from the current apple way of toggling off wifi.

And btw my location is also off. It uses location to turn on wifi. But it’s not on. And still happening

TechDepthStudio

AlexMrngstr69 I don’t think that the Nothing team would explicitly override such a fundamental core feature. If it indeed works the way you described it then it should be an Android 17 feature. I did not observe a similar behaviour so far but maybe I was not that careful, I will carefully observe the behaviour for the next few days

Kairav

AlexMrngstr69 bro have every feature on home screen 🙏😭

@“TechDepthStudio”#p311

@TechDepthStudio try it works like that . Maybe then Android 17 needs to be tweaked. But in other phone one ui9, with Android 17. It works as it is. Nit exactly sure if it’s Android 17 feature

These are redundant, What’s the point of having both? Just let me choose between one or the other. Also, a lack of a “previous” button in the control center menu is counter intuitive. Moreover, you can’t even turn this off in the control center menu, at least give the option. Right now if you have media playing you just have that in the control center and in the notification sheet, hiding it in the notification sheet doesn’t remove it from the control center either.

Personally I would prefer it if the option for media to be completely pushed to the control center menu and removed from the notification sheet altogether was there.

The Nothing OS 5.0 took 10 Days to respond to the “Uninstall” Button

Zac 🛸 the battery drain in my 3a pro is too high

RafinMahdi

Can anyone tell if the camera performance is upgraded or degraded? I am very much concerned about their OS update and camera degradation system.

Hi Nothing Team & Carl,

I recently updated my Nothing Phone (4a) to the Open Beta build, and the user experience is extremely unpolished.

Major issues:

1. Jerky Notification Shade: When pulling down quick settings/notification panel, there is no fluid motion or bounce. It drops down flat and heavy like a piece of cloth falling.

2. Touch Latency & Missed Gestures: Swiping back and tapping frequently lags or misregisters.

3. Lack of Fluid Animations & Visual Depth: The UI feels flat, stuttery, and lifeless—like running a “Lite” app on low-end hardware. There is no smooth transition in the control center.

Please fix these physics and latency issues in the next Beta hotfix.

Device: Nothing Phone (4a)

Build: Open Beta @
