Firmware (bot) Can anyone pls confirm if the bugs and issues with third-party launchers are actually fixed now? On my Phone(2) with Niagara Launcher, whenever I close an app and open another in quick succession, the launcher just disappears and leaves me with the wallpaper only. And while playing music from Spotify, whenever I return to the homescreen, the music widget’s album art animation breaks for a second. These are among some of the other smaller issues and bugs with third-party launchers only found on NothingOS. Niagara works perfectly well with every other Android OEM.

Firmware (bot) Disappointed, but did not see improvement in camera section even taking more time to process image after click. Image color also much softer side after update 2.5.5. previous color processing was ok. Focus process has slowed. Jittering between lense switch.

Need to recheck and roll out a new update to fix camera. Thanks “team Nothing” for your continuous efforts!

Can anyone tell me if battery drain issue has been resolved or not?? Because they did not mentioned anything about battery drain issue.. please answer

Stringfellow_hawke

AakashDev_3opYbToDSZ You can’t judge battery behaviour immediately after an update. System will need to optimise itself again with each update and that causes more battery consumption. Let the phone charge overnight so that the optimisations are done at once or wait for a week or so if you don’t prefer to charge overnight and then see how the battery performs.

YouTubeQwerty

AakashDev_3opYbToDSZ it is not resolved

Rajattech

AakashDev_3opYbToDSZ VERY BAD UPDATE HDR videos jittering and lagging a lot… kudos to nothing team phone 2a performance degraded💔

MitanDutta

No update to Android auto, still not working in my Maruti Ciaz 2017 model. Blank screen on car display. Somebody was saying that in this update nothing support will correct this issue .. very much disappointed ☹️

SiddarthKaruppasamy

SanjayKumar_l6Iu5lEYrH me too facing the same blank screen issue during incoming call.. in pixel 7 pro i didn’t face this issue..

thalapathy

Stringfellow_hawke overnight charging?? Is it okay to keep the phone on charge for 8 or 9 hours continuously with 45W charger? Any effects in battery hardware, SOC and battery lifespan? I’ve read multiple things but not received any firm or 95% accurate information about it. Also, if we charge a cell 100% every time, wont it deplet battery backup and life faster?

Image processing after taking pictures is way faster now

IaPonselBogor

Hope nothing phone will arrived soon in indonesia so we can touch it all the system perfecly

SourabhnPrasad

I wish the nothing phone 2a will rollout the update for long camera image processing after capturing the image.

Also, i feel when i upload some image to instagram or whatsapp, it takes a while to process the uploading, which is quite annoying.

𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐨𝐥

Not_Rehan Didn’t work

yuvrajtanpure

Absolute horrors

Why are tweaking your camera I don’t get it…

It is clicking horrible pics…

Image is brightened out.

Nothing is looking natural…

Exposure has gone for a toss…

Most of the images have exposure blown out.

Please bring another update and fix the issue.
