lingavignesh this update doesn’t fix anything related to Bluetooth, try to send feedback to nothing team. If it’s software issue just took backup your data and reset your mobile. After that also same issue then it might be a chance to Bluetooth hardware issue you might need to visit service centre.

      MDMijanSarker you can backup your whatsapp data using backup option available in WhatsApp, if you have laptop/ pendrive that have otg just copy all required files into them. Else use Google drive and google photos to store your data, contacts sync to google contacts. That’s it.

        thennarasu3112 I don’t think it’s h hardware issue. Because whenever I restart the phone, bluetooth services works for awhile then turns off automatically. Then become unavailable.. it’s the issue..

        Device connected via bluetooth suddenly gets disconnected in between. It’s the issue we’re mentioning here..

        If it’s hardware issue, then how bluetooth works whenever the phone restarts?

        I think it’s software issue.. Need all your suggestions & need nothing support team to address this & resolve

          Can the update be made available for download so we can install it manually? The XDA page for downloading updates manually has not been updated with recent updates in some time.

          Still not receiving anything on OTA. Support referred me to XDA which doesn’t have the update as stated above.

            Hey, I don’t get that update so i don’t know the answer. I don’t have Bluetooth issue at all?

                Thank you for contacting Nothing Customer Support.

                We’re sorry to know that you’re not receiving the Nothing OS V3.0-250218-1552 OTA update for your Nothing Phone (1), please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this matter. Let us help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

                Here are some steps you can follow to resolve the issue or manually install the update:
                1. Check OTA Update Availability*

                • Ensure your phone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has at least 50% battery.

                • Go to Settings > System > System Updates and check for updates manually.

                2. Understand Staged Rollouts

                • Nothing uses a staged rollout model, meaning updates are released to users in phases to ensure stability. This could explain the delay in receiving the update.

                3. Manually Install the Update (Sideloading)
                If you want to bypass the wait, you can sideload the update manually:

                Steps to Sideload the Update

                1. Download the Correct OTA ZIP File:

                2. Prepare Your Device:

                  • Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Developer Options.

                  • Install ADB tools on your computer.

                3. Enter Recovery Mode:

                  • Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

                  • Use ADB to reboot into recovery mode by running:
                    bash
                    adb reboot recovery

                  • In recovery mode, select “Apply Update from ADB.”

                4. Install the Update:

                  • On your computer, run:
                    bash
                    adb sideload <filename>.zip

                  • Wait for the process to complete, then reboot your phone.

                4. Use Local System Update Wizard
                Alternatively, use Nothing’s built-in offline updater:

                • Place the downloaded OTA file in a folder named ota in your internal storage.

                • Dial *#*#682#*#* to access the offline update tool and select the OTA file for installation.

                *
                If the issue persists or you require additional assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us again.*
                 *
                Warm regards,*
                 *

                  Nicol_s_XmgnXEMWGu not sure why this does not work for me. But I have come across this issue being discussed on reddit as well. So look like there is some bug.
