Hello,
another thing I have to complain about regarding my nothing phone 3 😅
Main reason to buy the 3 instead of the 3a was wireless charging for me. Since my car has a wireless charging pad I thought it would be so nice to just place the phone on the pad, wireless android Auto connects and boom, it just works. But it doesn’t.
(Sidenote I restrict charging to 80%). Even when the phone is full (80%) after 20-30min of android Auto the phone 3 goes into overheating mode and stops every app. When using wired Android Auto and charging the phone still gets very hot and I get notifications about thermal throttling (like Google maps is unable to render 3d buildings etc) but at least it works. When battery ist low (like 40%) it starts charging up to around 60% then it stops charging due to heat…
I would love to turn on battery saving mode during android Auto/charging to reduce CPU power and reduce heat but android wouldn’t allow this while charging…
Another sidenote. I run a german app (blitzer.de) which notifys me of obstacles, traffic jams etc. Which probably also contributes quite a bit to the thermal load. Haven’t tried it without. But anyways, I think a “flagship” phone should handle these things with ease and without excessive heat and especially without overheating and shutting off…. My old xiaomi redmi note 10 did, though only with wired charging.
Starting to get disappointed by the phone…
