The value of a mobile phone is not just the hardware and the marketing. It’s the HW, the SW and the support provided. Support means timely and quality updates, among other things. If Nothing wants to play with the Big Boys, they should know this.

Marketing announcements to drive Xmas sales is not going to cut it if your customer base is not happy.

I don’t want to force anyone. But anyone can manually upgrade to 2.5.1 by following the post #684.

I didn’t notice a single issue. Everything is working perfectly. Call app, msg app, contact app….no issues.

Music visualisation perfectly synchronised with audio.

Battery is same as before.

Please note, I haven’t factory reset the phone after the update.

Rather waiting, if you want, give it a try.

That’s right Bro, everyone asks and demands and they have the version there to install manually in 5 minutes and no one seems interested when it works perfectly, I don’t understand it either.

AKSHAY rest they will delete it or strike it, if we don’t tag them they won’t read it

TejasMaisuriya

Shyam

@Update Name @Firmware (bot) can you shed some light ? Is NOTHING running a propoganda for year end sale or new year sale? #TRUTH is I’m looking for. Delay in updates are fine if it is well communicated. #BeProfessional

adharsh

TejasMaisuriya

@Firmware (bot) @Update Name atleast let us know about update when will it be available?

SrsThewrongguy

Ferny666 It is what it is. 😊

BIGDAVESNOKIA

Ferny666 yeah apart from an issue with 3rd party launchers that I’ve logged a bug for. It’s great, no issues, battery is even more insanely good than 2.0.4 (currently on 17 hrs since charge with 8 hrs screen on time and 46% battery left - insane) Manual update ftw!!

It’s all about choice. You choose to install it manually… no problem. I and few more choose to wait for OTA… shouldn’t be a problem there too.

Illogical is.. when a company rolled out updates it should have reached to all by now.. that’s an expectation. Now, it’s ok if they are cautious enough and looking for more hamsters before the become a news headlines tomorrow morning. I’m ok to wait or with this delay… but tell a date.. PROFESSIONALISM can be expected from a global player.

None the less, I can only be a keyboard warrior here and waittttt till it hit my phone. 😆

Custom ROM like PixelExperience/LineageOS OTA rollout faster than Nothing

AbhishekSingh_H4LRjJi4jk

[deleted] brother you’ve got it wrong. Those bugs are already known ones. That have been reported by community a lot of times using that same feedback process. It would be nice if there was some sort of bug tracking for the OS, similar to github issues I guess.

I think you think that this manual update was done by anyone or came from some dark place and that is not the case, my friend, this update and its installation instructions were sent by the Nothing technical service to the colleague who installed it and also to me. next day with the same guarantees as the one that will arrive by OTA, it is totally legal to wait whoever wants, but you should not think that by doing it manually it will work poorly or that it is not as official as the one that I received through OTA

ParthaPratim

Well since we haven’t received the new update yet, let’s just discuss on different topics

Is there any bugs present?
Is there battery drain issue
Does the new update cause green line issue
Is the new update gonna get me a gf :⁠-⁠\

ParthaPratim

Yes you will get a gf “Glyph Function”

SergioMart_nez_ztk3HxjDIX

Does it happen to some that when carrying out the manual installation steps mentioned in comment #684, typing the number after creating the folder and copying the file comes up with the beta instead of 2.5.1 and on top of that it gives an error and does not leaves?

Ferny666

SergioMart_nez_ztk3HxjDIX

Did you download the ROM from the file that accompanies the message? I had no problem following exactly those steps by putting it inside the folder created as ota
