On your device: Go to Settings -> System -> Feedback. **Firmware rollouts are usually staggered, meaning not all users will receive the update simultaneously. This approach allows us to monitor for any issues and ensure a smooth and stable deployment.** ### Nothing OS 3.0 This update transitions you to the official release of Nothing OS 3.0, powered by Android 15. Full of exciting new features and improvements to enhance your everyday experience. Here's what's in store: **Shared Widgets** 🔮 Use widgets to link up with friends and family. See another person's widgets displayed on your home screen and interact with each other through reactions. A new way to stay connected. Shared Widgets are currently only supported between Nothing devices. And only Photo Widgets (square) can be shared. We are rapidly developing support for other widgets, so stay tuned! Notes: As Shared Widgets are in beta, you might encounter some issues. We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance your experience. **Lock screen** 🔒 Introduced new lock screen customisation page. Access by long-pressing the lock screen or via the Customisation page. 🕰️ Choose from a range of new Clock face styles. 🖼️ Expanded widget space, allowing you to place more widgets on your lock screen. **New app drawer style** 🤖 Added AI-powered Smart Drawer to automatically categorise your apps into folders, keeping your app drawer organised and making apps easy to find. 📌 Now you can pin your favourite apps to the top of the app drawer for quick access to your favourite apps. **Enhanced pop-up view** 📱 Drag the pop-up view to any position on the screen, for convenient multitasking. 📐 Easily resize the pop-up view by dragging the bottom corners. 📍 Pin the pop-up view on the screen edge, for speedy access. 🔔 Swipe down incoming notifications to enter the pop-up view. Allows you to quickly view information without leaving your current app. Enable via Settings > Special features > Pop-up view. **Elevated design** 🧩 Redesigned Quick Settings, and an optimised editing experience. Allows you to effortlessly tailor your shortcuts to your preferences. 🖼️ Redesigned widget library. Choose your favourite Nothing Widgets or swipe left to browse third-party widgets. 🎨 Enhanced Settings with updated UI visuals. Network & Internet and Bluetooth options now display current connection. 👆 New Dot animation for fingerprint unlocking and charging. **Other improvements** 🤖 Allow AI to learn your usage habits and prioritise your frequently used apps. Keeps them active for longer intelligently for a smoother and more efficient experience. 🔋 Improved the lock screen charging status display to help you easily know the charging speed at a glance. 🗃️ Added support for auto-archive function. Automatically frees up storage space without removing apps or data from your device. 🖥️ New partial screen sharing, so you can record just an app window rather than the entire screen. 🚀 Updated setup wizard to version 3.0 for a smoother introduction. ⬅️ Enabled predictive back animations for apps that have opted in. 🛡️ Update Security Patch to December. **Notes:** During the upgrade, the system will optimise in the background to enhance your user experience. The device may experience temporary overheating and increased power consumption, but will quickly return to normal after the upgrade is complete

Does anyone know when the update to OS 3 will come out for the UK 2a phones?

huttonstephen5

A UK based company and the UK are still waiting for an update? If this delay is deliberate, then it will not score any points with their most important market! However, if the rumours are true, the Nothing 3a phone and its proposed Feb 2025 launch date is the only phone worth waiting for

ElliotHerbertson

Big announcement and PR about a release and then no update for us UK folk….can’t quite figure the logic.

Hi anyone can tell me how to switch from Beta os 3 to stable os 3 in nothing phone 2A plus?

huttonstephen5

2a plus updates are at least another month away, going by their failure to update 2a UK so far

ElliotHerbertson

“NOS 3.0 is rolling out to Phone (2) and Phone (2a), staggered throughout the end of the year. This will be followed by Phone (1), Phone (2a) Plus and CMF Phone 1 at the beginning of 2025.”

Official announcement above, but clearly this isn’t the reality. 4th Jan and still no update for the 2a….I’ve given up checking, will just wait for some notification to pop up.

SujayRangrej

Any Idea When Will Circle To Search Will Come In Phone 2A Plus??

It could be, not saying it actually is, that the rollout has been cancelled due to the number of issues reported here.
I am from the Netherlands and I haven’t received an update yet either.

But let’s be honest, I rather have a bug free (or almost bug free at least) new OS, than a shitty one.

I have already got Android 15 in both “Pixel 8 Pro” and “Xiaomi 14T Pro” and there are no obvious bugs out there so I would not expect any major bugs with Nothing Phone 2a either

huttonstephen5

I suspect that the delay maybe due to the fact Mr Pei insisted on those whom WFH to “get back to the office” full time or your out! that would mean all those more proven productive home workers would down tools until everyone is back at the office…tomorrow As it is only a small technical team as opposed to one of the larger mobile companies, nobody’s currently in the office.

Same problem….stuck on new in OS 3.0 Screen. Any solutions?

After the Android 15 update, I have noticed that the VoNR and VoLTE icons are not showing, and during that time, I am unable to make or receive calls. This issue lasts for a few seconds. I have observed that it happens when my phone screen has been off for more than 15–20 minutes. I am not sure why this is happening. I always keep the power-saving mode turned on. Is this a bug, or is it part of an aggressive power-saving feature? Please help, and if it is a bug, kindly fix it as soon as possible. Jio True 5G is still showing
