Otu I believe its best to have choices, such as turning on and off option in settings. To me current state is convenient, and I have no fear of device being stolen (and if its is, burn the SIM, disassociate phone from Google account on computer, buy new one and restore last backup).
So I am with you, as I understand the risk, plus having visibility on screen left as option (not as default) as its very convenient in daily use.

    main purpose of power saver is to save battery , which means it will turn on dark mode….
    its basically same as asking for phone ring even if phone is on DND..

    Nothing please! Consider this on the upcoming nothing os 3.0.

    a. I was really into nothing’s dotted fonts even before I bought a nothing phone. And watching it going away in upcoming update , that i don’t want. Maybe it would be quiet good id they place an option to chose old font over the new one.

    b. About that new lock screen pin keypad design. I just like the old one.

    c. I was done using third party app to set a widget for countdown for a date. Glad to see the official widget for that.

    d. See I really never used auto brightness and I prefer to change it manually but I have to swipe down twice before i can adjust brightness…..please consider placing the Brightness slider only one swipe away.

    e. About volume level. If we can make it so that it gets even lower that it already is would be great. (I really like to watch movies at night without earphones)

    f. There are a lot of other things i would like to see on the os 3.0 but i guess i should first complete my assignment that i need to submit tomorrow morning.

    Many have tried to bundle good app pack that would replace or complement Google default services and apps, but no one has succeeded so far.

    Key is everyone tried to reinvent the wheel their own way.

    I would love to see Nothing have great apps that would distinguish it from any other phone/OS and I believe key is using in what is good on market, and making a deal with app makers to do special edition that would fully support NothingOS feats and Glymph and be optimized for 4 plus models.
    Also, bugfixing and feedback and feature development would remain on companies and Nothing could give them like 1$ per phone or some other stimulative share to do long term development and support.
    No ads, no slowdowns, no multi function of apps, focus on what it needs to do, simplicity, streamlining, no data collection, no spyware etc.

    mp3: Something like Dub Music
    Maps: Organic Maps, HereWeGO but offline option
    Editor: Writer +
    Browser: Vivaldi

    Quick messanger: Signal

    They could be e.g. rebranded to Nothing Music, Nothing Web, Nothing Comm etc.
    Dialer and message app needs special love :slight_smile:

    Also, a Nothing Center app, like old Nokia Suite
    or e.g. Mudita Center for Mudita phone and could

    could integrate OS update, help, user feedback and bug reporting, easy file transfer, typing Notes or SMS from computer keyboard, advanced settings etc. and would be useful to have for Win 10/11, MacOS and Linux.

    Please consider such things for bright future, since I believe it gives edge in user conviniece.
    Moder Android settings and functions have become complex and app could simplify and center.

    Hope other users agree.

    Sincerely,

    I really want the Nothing team to make their own music player. I’ve owned a nothing Phone 2a for a few months now and I’m extremely happy. I’m glad to hear that there will be a gallery, but a music player is also needed. If they decide to make one, it will be the best music player, in terms of design for sure.

    Please make it easier in next update. In One UI one can share a Contact from dialing history, but here we have to go to Contacts from where it can be done. Make things easy as promised.

    I travel a lot…and I Think many Nothing users too.

    Would Request Nothing to please introduce Roaming plan with esim embedded in Nothing OS 3.0 for data usage while travelling without requirement to look for some local physical sim.

    This would be a great help for Nothing users who are travelling around the world.

    Hi all,

    I’d like to suggest new functions to be added in the upcoming OS update:

    • Pro mode in camera allowing for 50 MP photo capture in RAW and JPEG
    • Pro mode for video recording
    • Quick settings widget for brightness control - size 2 X 1, enables sliding to change

    These ideas might have been brought up already, but recently there were quite a lot of situations where I felt like something was missing.

    Well I will simplify it.

    1. Preserve Original Design: Instead of replacing or drastically changing icons, widgets, and design elements with each OS update, give users the option to keep the original design (e.g., the original Nothing OS icons).

    2. Introduce New Designs as Optional Add-ons: New icon and widget designs should be introduced as additional options, not mandatory replacements. Users could choose between the classic look or newer designs.

    3. Customization Freedom: Allow users to mix and match new and old elements, giving them greater control over the appearance of their OS.

    4. Long-term Consistency: This ensures that even after several years of updates, users can retain the familiar look they love while still benefiting from new features and enhancements.

    5. Design Library: Over time, build a library of various design sets (icons, widgets, themes) that users can apply according to their preferences.

    This approach would give users more personalization without forcing changes they may not want!

      Private space should be generated for secret files

      I posted some comments before here but i want to add a small but convenient one.

      • Please add widget folder feature. I add many 1×1 system config widgets(mic-camera on-off, location, nfc etc.). But they consume a lot of space. I want to add them inside a folder and put it grid formation. Therefore i can use them without more than one click and put them in a more dense formation.

      Keeping it short and simple:

      1. Allow users to choose fonts, colors, bold/italic styles, and justify text left/right within the OS, menu pages, lock screen layout, and settings.

      2. Some users prefer sharp edge window layouts and different tab styles in the OS.

      3. Provide options to hide, auto-hide, or always hide the top status bar. Removing default time display is practical when a clock widget is present.

      4. Offer unique app drawer transitions and hidden drawer behaviors for added customization.

      5. Allow more variety in icon size and shape customization, and options for color, single-tone, dual-tone, or monochrome icons.

      6. Integrate an efficient in-built cleaner to remove cache without bloatware, providing genuine space recovery.

      7. Disable certain quick settings when the phone is locked to prevent unauthorized access. Only biometric or face unlock should reveal these options.

      8. Implement real-time spam detection and blocking in N-dialer, and introduce a secure N-message app with chat features, ensuring data trustworthiness.

      9. The camera is good, but the software processing struggles to capture distant objects like clouds, trees, birds, or light rays with clarity. Unlike my previous OnePlus Nord, this device loses detail. Please improve the camera’s quality. Allow a RGB curve option in pro mode.

      if any of my request things are already on its way please ignore them. If any of them are potential features, please bring them asap.

      Since NothingOS is overallhaul of Androud I would kindly ask to put File Transfer (OTG) hidden in Android 13 plus as developer option, to some normal accessable place like Advanced options -> File Transfer ON

      I hear its hidden since someone can hijack your phone via it, but lets say its fast mp3, picture or video transfer with computer we do need. If someone gets full access to your phone, there are plenty other ways he can do harm from factory reset to abusing account access.

        Please develop the apple home screen widget for nothing X so that we can quickly see battery life! Would be much smoother than having to enter the app and presumably quick and easy to do

        Instead of having separate apps for Nothing X and CMF Watch, I wish there was a single app that could access everything. It would be great to have a dedicated section in the settings for managing the watch and headphones together.

        This is my wish in next OS update

        Hello Nothing Community! I’m a enthusiast owner of a Phone 2, and I’m wondering if it will be possible to add an old but great feature of my old Honor 8: if i have the rotation locked on the phone globally, but I would like to rotate a picture in the gallery, now there’s a button to do that, appearing on the lower left corner. Is it possible to make the rotation automatic only for the gallery without the appearing button?

        Hopefully in future software updates, CMF Phone 1 comes with changelogs for adding custom fonts. Display > Fonts > Adding Fonts:

        1. Default Fonts
        2. Custom Fonts

        Big Thanks!

        “Hi everyone, excited to share a new concept! Imagine receiving a call where a title appears on your phone screen, giving you a clear idea of the reason for the call before you pick up ”

        I have few suggestions I think worthy enough for your attention 🙏 & adding them in The Nothing OS 3.0

        1. Password to Turn Off the Phone

        2. 2 Fingerprint/Password for unlocking the phone. Wherein 1st finger/password will unlock main device while if we use the 2nd finger/password then it’ll unlock the second space maybe guest mode or another user mode. So that to assure full Privacy of ourselves while giving phone to someone for any work or emergency.

        3. Add some editing tools for photos & videos. In short a mini image/video editor app inside the Nothing Gallery app itself.

        4. Emergency Details on Lock Screen through a Lock Screen Widget. We all keep our phone locked then how can someone know a crucial info or call or get in touch with relatives in case of emergency. So a widget for that so that if someone doesn’t want to display it then they have option to Remove. But can be more helpful in Emergency.

        5. Add password for accessing the hidden apps. What’s the point of hiding an app in the first place if anyone can see it by just a swipe.

        And the list goes on. To Be Continued……..

        Currently there is no option in nothing OS to assign seperate Ringtones to Sim 1 and sim 2 which is available in almost all android phones. It’s a very useful option for those using personal number and work number in same phone to easily identify the number in which the call is being received. Please add that option in the upcoming Nothing OS 3.0.
