I’ve noticed something about the vibration behavior on Nothing phones (including my Phone 2a Plus) that feels a bit unintuitive and different from most other smartphones.
Right now, vibration for incoming calls only works if the “vibrate for calls” option is enabled — regardless of whether the phone is in ring mode or vibrate mode. And if I turn that off, there’s no vibration at all, even in vibrate mode.
In most phones, the behavior is simpler and more flexible:
Vibrate mode → vibration only (no ringtone)
Ring/normal mode → ringtone only (no vibration unless explicitly enabled)
Silent mode → no sound, no vibration
But on Nothing OS, vibrate mode doesn’t behave independently — it still depends on that separate toggle. This removes the expected distinction between modes.
Personally, I don’t see the need for vibration in normal (ring) mode, and having it tied this way also affects battery usage unnecessarily.
It would be great if Nothing could:
A small change like this would improve usability a lot and make the experience more intuitive.
Hope the team considers this 🙌
