Ear 2024 - Unequal battery usage

Razz · 2024-11-29T13:40:09+00:00

I have observed that my Nothing ear 2024's left ear bud drains faster than the right one. Initially the difference was 10% only between the two buds. But it seems to be increasing by the daily usage. Now I see a difference of 15% after listening to music for 30 mins. After 1 hour the difference was 30%. Anyone facing the same issue? Should I claim for replacement with this behaviour?

I have purchased the Ear 2024 yesterday and I also observed that Right ear buds drain 5% More compared to Left buds…still observing and running old firmware.. reading the battery drain complaint on community i didn’t updated to latest.

Hi there,

It’s been 2 days I am using nothing ear. I observed one thing after putting back the earbud in to case I always found right one has more charge than the left one. May I know why?

Thanks

Visited Nothing service centre.

Team tested product for 15-20 Min. Issue confirmed & they replace my nothing ear with new one 👍🏻

Was it a firmware issue or a hardware issue?

Hey guys,

Any updates regarding the unequal battery drain? I’m pretty sure that this issue is caused by the latest firmware update.

Thanks :<

From switching on itself the right buds’s charge is dropping faster ( from the start it shows 95 whole left shows 100). Is it a bug or defect?

Daniel

GauthamKrishnaA I’m guessing resetting the earbuds didn’t help?

GauthamKrishnaA

Daniel no it didn’t

This has been going on for a few months and they did nothing lmaooo. And no, resetting the airbuds doesn’t help.

@Daniel pls escalate this issue.

My right ear buds always charge till 90% whereas left got charge till 100% and secondly I have seen my ear buds charge to 100% if it’s battery percentage is less tha 50% . Is it comman or it’s just with me .
