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.

AdityaChoudhary_0px1gm7YRt what happen. Why are you in such hurry? Mid October means between 10 to 20 Oct. Keep patience.
If you worry about bugs, why did you install Beta on your phone on first place?

I think I’ve found a pretty substantial bug with Nothing os 5.0 I have a 3a pro and randomly my phone will go through bursts of turning of the WiFi, not disconnecting because of range. Fully turning it off.

This is severely annoying to use/have, it tries to find WiFi but then just immediately turns off. No matter how many times you turn it on it turns it back off, randomly it just stops and it will randomly just start, mobile data still works perfectly fine it’s just WiFi

Now the nothing phone 3a feels to much laggy on opening the phone swiping control center the laggyness isss justtt .. I hope this will be fixed in stable release

The new Control Panel looks really good, but there’s one small issue I’ve noticed. Whenever I swipe up to scroll through the panel, I accidentally touch the volume slider and change the volume. 😭

This happens mostly when using the phone with my right hand, since my thumb naturally passes over the volume slider while scrolling.

I think making the slider a little less sensitive to accidental touches or adjusting its position could fix this.

Is it just me, or are other right-handed users facing the same issue? 👀

Nothing, please look into thi

I am unable to comment on this but idk if this is good or bad for the open beta on 4a

I genuinely wonder whose idea this gem was. It’s pure visual poetry, a UI that’s a joy to watch and experience…

…not.

I’ve noticed an issue with the low-battery warning on my phone. When the battery level becomes critically low and the phone is about to shut down, I don’t receive any warning or countdown beforehand. The phone simply powers off once the battery is depleted.

It would be helpful if Nothing could provide a clear low-battery warning a few minutes before the phone shuts down, ideally with a short countdown or notification. This would give users enough time to connect the charger and prevent unexpected shutdowns or loss of ongoing work.

I believe this would be a useful improvement before the stable release.

grepGander my bad g just wanted opinion on the battery life

grepGander

Aaryyee My comment was not against you my friend, but about that bad new community redesign where vertical images are shown in full size so it’s borderline unusable from a PC due to the amount of scrolling 🫩

Sirius_EU

grepGander Yeah, the new forum design is really terrible, if you access it from a PC the images are huge and you have to scroll a long way down the pages.

grepGander

Sirius_EU Yep. I like it in general, looks more compact but also has nicer readability than before even with smaller fonts. But that makes the contrast of small fonts vs absolutely MASSIVE images even more annoying, meh. Really poor UI design choice.

Heya,

while scrolling around the setings menu, I have encountered what seems to be a bug: when you press Join Beta in the Nothing Beta Hub, while already being on beta, the phone will receive a rollback OTA update. This will format the whole device. I have turned off automatic updates via developer settings to prevent this from happening, but how can I cancel it? I already restarted the phone.

Thank you!

Hi Nothing Community,

This Nothing OS 5.0 have been so much better and I basically loved it. This got some new controls and new styles but I do notice some features were still missing so yea I guess I have to wait for it. Overall even if it’s good I noticed some problems after updating to Nothing OS 5.0 is that whenever I charge the phone it heats up and the charging speed is a bit slower. And it lags alot, tho the best thing about this update what I felt is that the battery life of a single daily usage has very well improved like if I charged in morning 8am full 100 percent and at night like 10pm it will be atleast atleast around 20 or 15 percent. Overall I loved this update.
