Firmware rollouts are usually staggered, meaning not all users will receive the update simultaneously. This approach allows us to monitor for any issues and...

CARLos PEIter If you haven’t already, charge it to 100% and leave it, idle without using it, charging for an extra 2 hours or so. System should be fully optimised again after that update and this may improve you battery performance. It’s what I always do with any phone after each update and I got 7 and a half hours of SOT yesterday with around 25% left (though SOT is subjective and not a good measurement).

CARLos PEIter

Stringfellow_hawke do you mean that connecting to the charger for 2 more hours after making it to 100%

Sambhrant

CARLos PEIter Yes.

Stringfellow_hawke

CARLos PEIter Yes, that’s what I meant.

CARLos PEIter

ok I will try, Thanks

Stringfellow_hawke Ok thank you, let me try

Not sure if it is just the Phone 2a, but VoLTE seems to be buggy. Many people are experiencing the same issue, and especially in S.Korea, SK Telecom carrier users are experiencing 1) calldrop 2)unable to call others while picking up the call is working 3)many other volte call related problems. Hope it gets fixed soon as it is a critical one.

As Phone 2a officially launched in S.Korea, I thought there wouldn’t be a problem with registering the device but it requires additional work with the carrier services (registering the device ID, IMEI manually to make 5G connection work). It’s quite a hassle to do so, and I am quite dissapointed with Nothing as it seems the company has done zero communication testing in our country. If Nothing contacted carriers prior to the launch of the product, there wouldn’t have been a problem.

I seriousy hope Nothing to take a closer look at this issue and solve it asap.

MitunManav Are you hearing this crackling sound on a call? I am facing this issue while on a call.

MitunManav

Vengadesh_01 yeah during call

ShubhamSharma100

Vengadesh_01 absolutely mate…it’s evident on speaker at Max volumes

This gives a sense of vulnerability.

Please include this basic yet important thing in the next updateNothing OS

These are my personal hand-on feedback and experience of my Nothing Phone (2a) 8GB/128GB which i bought in Soho, Central London post 2.5.4 update after a full seven days of use:

Processing of photos could be faster (for a 12MP size photo)
Swapping / transition between camera lenses when taking photos could be a bit smoother
4G and Wi-Fi network speeds and connectivity needs more optimisation - very erratic and patchy, reconnecting to a network i.e. from 4G to home Wi-Fi is slow (despite in an area with very fast Wi-Fi and 4G area in E13 London). It feels like the speeds are actually being throttled.
Battery standby and endurance needs more optimisation - I don’t believe in standby time benchmark but this could be better
Playing a recorded video on Google Photos sometimes takes frustratingly long - Needs optimising (even if it’s in 1080p/60 format)
App opening and loading STILL needs to be more faster (Culprits are Google Photos and YouTube so far but have noticed a mixture of some of my news/weather/note-taking/productivity apps)
Colour saturation in main and ultra wide still needs more refining/ dialling down - colours still appear a wee bit strong
More glyph lights customisations especially in terms of giving us the ability to use the glyph lights on ANY notification & ringtones (assigned to a contact) that have been downloaded off an app such as Zedge via Google Play Store or via messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Telegram, MS Teams, etc.
Dark mode randomly turns off for no apparent reason at any time of the day or task that I’m doing - BUG ALERT!

This has happened at least three time once a day in the past three days of use.

I like the phone with its great speakers, sharp display, decent battery life and the quick updates. But I’m beginning to be frustrated with the Nothing OS UI & UX as it needs more refinements, optimizations and updates.

I also do not like the heftiness and size. it could have been much slimmer and smaller to distinguish itself from the flagships.

I do hope Nothing is listening and reading all these feedback as this will make or break the success of the Phone (2a).

The Pixel 7a exists (and the Pixel 8a is incoming) and the Galaxy A-series have also arrived. This is your chance to give everything you got.

GinoGuillermo Also, lens flare issues and over exposed blur around strong light source in the background. Lens flare is really causing an issue for me as its destroying the entire picture/videos with weird transparent lines of light in both indoor and outdoor environments.

MarketView

still no improvement in camera….high colour saturation

Remi F, bro what about 90 FPS IN BGMI AND OTHER GAMES(free fire)

GinoGuillermo

TheSensibleOne I never had any lens flare issues so far. Maybe because i have been shooting mostly avoiding direct sunlight or near artificial lighting.

I have reverted back to my Pixel 7a as it is still superior in the cameras but i want the bigger battery capacity, stronger speakers and sharper display on the 2a.

TejasMaisuriya bcuz u have phone 2 thats why u think like that

Installation failed

PIYUSHSHARMA

MayankSingh_mFF9znREeC In 10 days after launch nothing gives continuously updates for their Np1, Np2 and Np2a. Don’t follow the track or traditional route created by other smartphone brands. Believe in Nothing, they better knows to answer.
