āFixed an issue where the Night Light feature was ineffective on the lock screen.ā

To
Nothing team.
Respected all,
I would like to draw your attention that the recent update released for nothing phone 2a were totally useless. I have seen many comments of the buyers and those update didnāt make any difference for them too The UI is still jitter and some app jitters too while opening it.
Especially, The updates for camera was horrible. Over saturated photo is seen. The human face is like a ghost. Motion pictures are impossible to take as the image processing takes decade of time and the image will be blurry.
I just want a simple phone which decent Performance, camera and looks.. i donāt know what you are doing in your offices. But we are suffering alot bcoz of pathetic camera performance especially ā hold you phoneā while taking picture. Flairs are visible. Whitish picture to be seen. But if the object is still and the lighting conditions are perfect then it takes good pics.. then only.
Kindly understand our frustrations and helplessness. So, Please release an update which resolved the above issues.
Thanks
From your,
Frustrated customer

Iām not sure why people are still asking for this update. Itās buggy you shouldnāt get it. Be patient and wait for the next one.
If you flashed it manually and you donāt like it, then you messed up.
On the other hand, Nothing needs to acknowledge things are being worked on. The user experience does not end at unboxing the phone starring at how shiny the phone is.

Dear Nothing Team
You are doing a good job and keep it up.But plz focus on your updates take your time and work on bugs and glitches sensibly and before rolling out updates plz check it weathere updates are working or not, plz be focus and donāt give anything in the name of quick updates. we can wait more and wants good updates.
AakashDev_3opYbToDSZ VERY BAD UPDATE HDR videos jittering and lagging a lotā¦ kudos to nothing team phone 2a performance degraded
If the update has made the phone worse (I donāt know as still not available on my device and Iām not side loading it) I would suggest giving feedback via your device (Settings > System Settings > Feedback) to let Nothing know as I donāt think reporting it here will make any difference.
The update has not been pulled, I just got the notification on my phone.
Stringfellow_hawke Updating now as well
AakashDev_3opYbToDSZ after this update my phone nothing 2a shows heating issues as well as battery drain issue is there.
Firmware (bot) optimise the charging speedā¦itās taking more than 2.5 hrs to charge my 2a via CMF GaN charger
Support for 3rd party chargers is only partially fixed. My phone 2a now works with my 25 watt pd power bank but still does not work with my 65 watt ubon pd charger. Please fix it ASAP.
How was the camera quality for all of you before the update?
Because I am really disappointed with the current camera performance (2.5.5).
Bad updateā¦ nothing change on the speed of the camera saving the photoā¦. feels like getting slower when processing.
Quite useless to use to take photoā¦ cos every time taking group photo or friendsā I need to keep waiting to see the previewā¦ and everyone just waitingā¦.
Stringfellow_hawke Whatās your experience with the update so far? If all the comments here are accurate, it shouldāve exploded your phone by now due to lots of new bugs. I havenāt gotten the update yet, so canāt really comment.
Schippie Well so far, still got all my limbs.
Canāt say much yet, did the update and let it charge for a couple hours to let it optimise first. But first impressions, performance wise seems fine to me.

Just installed the update, finally arrived for me too. Not seeing any bugs so far. Photos seem fine, YouTube 1080P HDR seems OK, no heating of the phone. I did reboot after updating though, perhaps that helped. However, there were a lot of reports in this chat, so if some of you could please share your test cases I can try to replicate.
neikees yeah, so far I am enjoying phone the more I used and explore and interact by adapting my old phone habits to this new Big, Heavy NP2a ā¦ for past 20 days usage.
The no. 1 most irritable āslow time wasterā is the camera photos and videos āanimations / processing blurry to sharp end imagesā v v slow for a modern 2024 phone.. i cannot believe it. Takes 2-3s per preview
yea, not all imperfections are equal. I kinda regret buying this phone .. =[ , **gotta rethink, rebudget a 2nd phone ā which ofc NP doesnāt care since it has already earned mine. darn! crap! "oO
For its price in 2024, itās ridiculously value, but ā¦ camera snaps processing photos+videos is a CORE expectation of smartphone users, unless itās a low low 10% bottom priced smartphone, which ofc NP2a is not!
Can you add AOD timer 10 sec (or select more time range) if user want see AOD but not want use long time for saving battery life?
