Nothing OS Wishlist (2024)
For nothing phones (All models)
Please add an important features (security) like
When phone is in lock mode if some one (instead of mobile owner) tries to switch off phone, tries to switch off internet, tries to keep in flight modeā¦..e.t.cā¦. It should ask password permission to unlock mobile (for mobile owner also) for using such operations and also disable force shutdown operation. Due to this every one can enjoy peacefully with this security.

SaiAnand I agree, Sai Anand. Much more than the aesthetics, if the Security features are concentrated upon along with useful time-saving features [read my post] and a better image processing in future updates, then NOTHING will not be ANYTHING ! Like I said in my post, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
NotP2a Please remove the 3rd option from your list except that your list is good, we donāt need that 3rd option cause android are smart enough to do those things on itās own. And if you want to clean junk/cache from your phone then you have very good applications to do so.
In the case of storage and security you can find this in settings app why include bloatware to a polished experience. If you coming from REDMI or REALME or OPPO etc.. they include those for manipulate/steal userās data please donāt suggest this.
Opensource app for Cache Cleaner
DexTer_e03TBYSe6f This feature is already available in Nothing OS via the āDo Not Disturbā quick settings tile.

SumanKumarDas In the 3rd point āA dedicated Phone Manager app for cleaning Junk, boosting RAM and which shows storage and Security status of the device.ā, I havenāt mentioned about a third party cleaner software which may be unsafe for various reasons mainly for the permissions it may seek and the T&Cs which it may throw in and which the Consumer would barely read. The point I am making is about a native Nothing (home-grown) app which brands like Samsung and Asus have. These features have been used by me earlier in the afore said brand phones and I didnāt find them to be intrusive. I believe that, these brands have evolved a lot in the last decade and are (like NOTHING) listening to the consumers. An example is Asus retaining the 3.5mm headphone jack in even the latest device and keeping the UI clean and another example is Samsung promising 4+ years of OS upgrades in their devices and keeping the One UI clean and efficient.
I have not used Xiaomi phones or phones of brands under BBK Electronics till now.
Taking a leaf out of competitorsā books doesnāt mean that you are copying. You may end up doing better than them, if proper plans are in place to use the available resources effectively and efficiently which leads to the ultimate goal i.e., a solid feature-packed device. If you want to punch above your weight in this Smartphone market, then you must leap in the right direction which is in the direction of consumers. And there are a lot of areas, where one can become a pioneer in like what NOTHING has done with the Glyph interface, the overall phone design and minimalistic UI. A solid start for everyone to notice and start thinking about NOTHING. And that is why, I have shared the features wish-list because I want a brand like NOTHING to grow and steer clear of the competition in a league of its own and take the Consumers in a league of their own. I see shades of uniqueness and the thirst to be the best like what once One Plus was and like what Asus and Samsung try to do with their higher end phones. In the end, it will be a Win-Win situation for both the Company and the Consumers.
Need AOD more customisation and color also
Please add the ability to select multiple apps on the home and apps screen for easier app deletion and customization of placement of icons.
And Higher contrast option for the apps screen is a must
I want the glyph to blink when there is an unread message. For example, to make the bottom point of the glyph blink.

Yes, feature exists as = Do Not Disturb ā> Under Alarms and Other Interruptions ā> Media Sounds (Off/On Toggle).
Have you tried this feature? It has never worked out for me so far (after trying various combinations) x Bedtime Mode (Settings, not app). .. Has it worked for you? If yes, do sound off any guide/tips. Thanks!
#TURNING ON DND MODE WITHOUT TURNING OFF MEDIA SOUNDS
DexTer_e03TBYSe6f It works for me. Go to Settings > Sound and vibration > Do Not Disturb > Alarms and other interruptions and enable Media sounds. Then turn on DND. Using this configuration, the calls and notifications will be muted while media sounds will remain enabled.

I tried the exact steps as you laid out.
It works** under a specific set of conditions, manually turning on DND Active, Media sounds are On and Adjustable. 3hrs ago.
When my DND based on clock schedule kicks in (automatic per settings customized), Media sounds are Off. 3mins ago.
The only steps I taken 3mins ago till as of currently composing this message, are as such ā
I turned OFF DND, Media Sounds (via volume up/down rocker as a quick check) are On adjustable.
I turned DND ON, Media Sounds are still ON Adjustable.
In conclusion, Nothing OS DND when automatically set to be active, will NOT turn on Media Sounds (ON) per userās custom preferences. Not pleased, not great, not working out for me/my phone. Sigh ā¦
Request feature = TURNING ON [*automatic by schedule*] DND MODE WITHOUT TURNING OFF MEDIA SOUNDS
thank you. =)Nothing OS

Dear Nothing Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a loyal user of Nothing products and have been impressed with the innovation and user-centric approach that your company embodies.
I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly enhance the security of Nothing smartphones: the implementation of a password requirement before powering off the device.
Hereās why I believe this feature would be valuable:
1. Theft Deterrence: Requiring a password before powering off the phone would act as an additional layer of security, making it more difficult for thieves to turn off the device immediately after stealing it. This would increase the chances of recovering stolen phones and discourage theft in the first place.
2. Data Protection: Many users store sensitive information on their smartphones. By adding a password requirement before powering off, you can provide users with peace of mind knowing that their data is more secure in case their device falls into the wrong hands.
3. Customizable Security: This feature could be optional and customizable, allowing users to enable or disable it according to their preferences and security needs. This flexibility would cater to a wide range of users, from those who prioritize maximum security to those who prefer convenience.
I believe that implementing this feature would further solidify Nothingās commitment to providing users with innovative, secure, and user-friendly products. It aligns with your mission to redefine the boundaries of technology while keeping user experience at the forefront.
Thank you for considering my suggestion. I look forward to seeing the continued evolution of Nothing products and the positive impact they have on the tech industry.
Best regards,
Sudarshan
100% agree with you. I had aslo sent feedback to nothing support to implement the same asap.
Requesting all to send the same by going to phones setting> system>feedback
A 90hz option would be great addition for the display refresh rate cuz 90hz is the sweet spot for both experience and battery. Ik ppl will suggest dynamic refresh rate option but itās not a smooth experience. It misses out in a few places. So requesting nothing team to add 90hz option for refresh rate
