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 … for past 20 days usage.

The no. 1 most irritable ‘slow time waster’ is the camera photos and videos ‘animations / processing blurry to sharp end images’ 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 – which ofc NP doesn’t care since it has already earned mine. darn! crap! "oO

For its price in 2024, it’s ridiculously value, but … camera snaps processing photos+videos is a CORE expectation of smartphone users, unless it’s 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?

    Android auto is still not working pls fix

    [deleted] mate its just a software patch, things will be better in future updates.

    Not that Nothing gave you a different hardware as to what they advertised.

    Merged 2 posts from Battery drine .

    After more than half a day with 2.5.5 update:
    - No battery issuses even after updating. Battery charges from 10-100 % with a GaN charger in a bit over 60 minutes. At first i got a notification that charging will be much longer however but after reataching the nothing phone 2a cable to the charger and connecting the charger to power source it was ok
    - Camera after update? Seems to be ok didn’t check it extensively.
    - No heating issues.
    - No issues during connecting external usb C drive and downloading pictures and files.
    - The transisions in animations seem to be less laggy

    Overall this is a good update 🙂

    DexTer_e03TBYSe6f yup… is ridiculous to wait sometimes 5 seconds to preview 1 photo. I have other China brand budget phone that cost lower than 200USD can be fast and good. Maybe you can check it out. Like Poco or Vivo.

      The phone offers to update to 2.5.5. - but I don’t want to.

      It says it will update automatically tomorrow.

      How to disable this automatic update to stay on 2.5.4.

      p.s. disabling auto-update in developer options doesn’t fix the problem.

        Anyone have this issue after update?

        The phone keeps charging and disconnect and charging again and just loop… so the beep sound just repeated….

        Merged 1 post from Nothing Phone 2a after 2.5.5 (charging problem).

        I think except the workers of nothing no one will suggest nothing phone 2 to others after using the worst product.and service is 10000% worst

        Experience after one day with this update is good so far. No heating - battery drain or lags so far. Can’t say about camera, haven’t had a chance to try that yet.

        Got myself an interesting situation here. Phone battery easily lasts me 1.5-2 days but the SOT isn’t what it used to be before the update. I get like 4-5 hrs SOT now compared to 7+ hrs couple of weeks back. It could be incorrect SOT reporting by the system. I dunno 🤷‍♂️
