sairaj_sab No. Call me old fashioned/biased, but, I don’t have a good feeling for equipment that comes out of a repair service. If it’s gone there, then it’s gone for good.

I understand it might have helped majority of others. But I’m not a fan of it.

    Hi,

    I’m facing the same issue, mostly around 40% case battery falls 1% after placing buds for some time.

    I checked this following scenario based on what Nothing promised on the battery hrs for this buds as below(bolded). This is regardless of Case battery %

    I just run a test run by charging the case at 100% and usually switched between ANC on/off and dual connection. Then, I watched movies in ott, music and youtube with the buds and waited for the case to drain 1%. I checked my phone screen time for these apps to calculate the actuals hrs of buds usage.

    my average usage of buds per day is around 3.50 hrs for 6 days which is nearly 21 hrs and also have 100% batteries remaining in both buds which may add more or less additional 5hrs. so a total of 26 hrs, which is somewhat closer to the hrs said by Nothing (with ANC on and Dual connection on). but it is still weird this steep drain to 1% in the case after 40% .

    I also tried charging the case upto 30% and used buds for 2hrs after some minutes case drained to 20% not 1%.

    The charging cable i used was normal fast charging cable charging source is laptop. Case got fully charged as they say around 2hrs.

    from these scenarios, I’m not sure the case is purposely draining the battery for some reason after reaching a hours of use which may be around 40-50%, not sure if it is due to software issue?. hope they will fix in firmware update.

    Perhaps you can check the hours of usage if it matches the ones below:

    Hours promised in Nothing website:

    Earbuds plus charging case
    35.5 hours of playback (ANC off)
    24 hours of playback (ANC on)

    Facing the same issue. I went to service centre and got my buds replaced, but the replaced ones have the same issue. I think its there in the buds only. Total waste of money.

    Daniel i also do have the issue, the charging jumped from like 80 to 10… but still, the battery lasted long enough for me. I think it’s a software bug, where it doesn’t read the battery percentage left properly, cuz the battery is good.

      I am having the same issue. I’m definitely sure it’s a software bug because I was able to get the battery backup near to what nothing has claimed but the same issue keeps happening to me case charge automatically drops from 40% to 1%. Nothing should come up to fix this issue and many others with a new update.

          I agree with what others have said… Because I love mine, i think their the best earbuds I’ve ever had honestly. Battery last days for me. I was thinking about getting the pro ones too. Lol

            I have the same problem with my cmf buds, I bought them on May 6 on Amazon and the first time the battery went from 70% to 1%, considering that the charge was the factory one, I didn’t have any major problems, I charged them accordingly and today 60% went to 1%, I don’t know what to do I have them for return since they have no replacement on Amazon

            Well, I haven´t had the chance yet to drain the case. Usually I recharge it at thresholds around 50-60%, to be kinda prepared for a longer session without a fixed power source. I´ll give that / your question a try, starting now. I´ll come back to the topic then in the next days.

            Not sure if you’re talking the same thing. The thread is about the behaviour of the case, not the Buds. You talk about the buds..?

              Happening same with me. The battery backup I am getting is quite good. But the thing is the case battery isn’t displayed correctly. 80 percent of the time it displays 100 percent, then all of a sudden it goes to 40 percent. And hence it falls to 1 percent.

              The battery isn’t the issue but rather the software. Nothing should look up into the matter. It is happening to all units sold on Flipkart and Myntra.

              Please fix it with the next update Nothing, we have high hopes for you.
