Zac 🛸 Nowadays After updating my phone 4a to Nothing OS 5.0 Beta version, the essential notification aren’t working..

Like for example I set a rule that missed calls, chat notifications and essential space notification is my essential notification.. then when the notifications arrive it comes like ab ordinary notification the glyph will not light up (GLYPH BAR IS FINE AND ALL THE LEDS ARE WORKING).

Also it happens randomly that whatsapp chat notifications are going silent automatically and something they didn’t even make sound of incoming notifications…

I tried resetting the WhatsApp notification settings and essential notification rules and also restartting the device but it didn’t work..

Pls tell me that wheather it’s a beta OS bug or it’s a bug in Nothing OS 5.0. Also my glyph bar is working completely fine all the white LED including the red recording indicator is working fine I checked it manually..

I gave the feedback to the Nothing team through the feedback option in settings..

Wanted to know that is anyone else facing this issue???

Stupid is 5 beta spammed me with “do a downgrade to 4.1” I accidentally clicked download & install on the notification Menü, now I can’t restart my device, other wise my device will be reset what I DEFINITELY DONT WANT!!!
Is there any chance to revert the downloaded update and prevent it from downgrading?!

Nothing os 5.0 beta feedback on phone 2a

1) brightness and volume sliders are buggy.. brightness gets auto adjusted same with volume

2) animations lag at times

3) on dragging and dropping widgets on the lockscreen there is a noticeable lag and the positions are not predicted properly

4) fonts are inconsistent

5)add an option to get quick settings when swiped down on the navigation bar in one handed mode

6) add the option to move the media player in the quick settings

7) increase the size of the navigation bar

8) horizontal sliders in the quick settings

EliasK_ninger_ARZETsVgNN Stupid is 5 beta spammed me with “do a downgrade to 4.1”

Every time, someone ends up clicking the ‘downgrade…’ notification “by mistake” and then starts crying because they risk losing their data…. incredible!

Sirius_EU so you would like to loose all your data ?
And I also think you were a “mistake”

Sirius_EU

EliasK_ninger_ARZETsVgNN You’re the one who risks losing the data, not me… by mistake!

I installed the beta on Nothing Phone (2a) and so far it is great. The ui is smooth, I like the animations, the icons, the design and I have yet to encounter any problems. But yes I am the 1 millionth person to say this but please Nothing can you make the icons transparent to pair well with the widgets?(I understand that this may not be easy). Also some widgets are not transparent like the fortunes one.
