Doesn't the new nothing os 4 Feel boring?

For a major update, it looks and feels almost the same as before. The Ul hasn't evolved. There's still no haptic feedback for the brightness or volume sliders, the battery icon is unchanged (even Google updated their years-old battery status icon) while even Pixel OS, known for being minimal, includes these touches. On top of that, there's no lock screen customization at all, which makes the OS feel outdated compared to other brands. I know this is still in beta, but it seems most of the features are already finalized - and right now, Nothing OS 4 feels underwhelming and lacking polish.

GalibHossain_EuIYRZpoTs well said man ! Asking for features.i mean the basic feature of showing how many devices connected to hotspot its still not here and when I wrote the other day .. these fan boys and girls started defending it’s minimal and futuristic what the heck is futuristic in not showing how many devices are connected.. these people need to chill out .. and NOTHING itself should show what’s coming and what’s not rather than just doing that hype train videos and clips .. no one needs that we need improvements !!!!

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 is that an improvement. I’d consider that clutter, to be honest.

You people are pretty unbelievable, lol. Let me be a fanboy now, because proving you wrong is apparently being that, and show you that you are clearly wrong.

But ok, despite of it being spammed everywhere and you cannot miss it, let’s believe you instead with your “I mEaN tHe BaSiC fEaTuRe Of ShOwInG hOw MaNy DeViCeS cOnNeCtEd To HoTsPoT iTs StIlL nOt HeRe”. There simply is no basic functionality in Nothing OS!! We need Dynamic Island and Liquid Glass to fix that 😍😍

Edit: I can’t wait for you to ignore this completely - again - and go again with how basic functionality of how many devices is connected is simply not present anywhere in Nothing OS 😂

CMF1_hacker really? Every OS(UI) has it !! And it’s been that way since the early android days ! Man what you talking about.. I’m a sea marine where data really is needed and it’s most important. So when I share with people I should know who has been connected.. it’s basic feature.. which makes my life easier so I don’t consider that clutter . That’s what I was talking about.. every time I ask for a basic feature fan boys starts their thing .. man this community is worse than isheeps..

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 I remember using the hotspot on my 1+1 and even before that on my Samsung Ace and not once have I needed to see who was connected?

Are you worried about getting hacked? This is nonsense that clutters up a UI.

Edit: I have Filipino friends that work on cargo containers that I catch up when they’re at the Port of London , so I’ll let this one slide. Ahoy matey.

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 So let me get this straight, you cannot do this to see it immediately at the top? The whole process is faster than pulling the panel (quick settings or notifications) down:

That is simply out of question for you because you want to do it the other slightly slower way to achieve the same result?

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3

Anonymous931 . bro ! I am a sea marine .. and we have to save up data .. for 6 months straight so that I can call my family and friends sometimes.. data costs a lot on ships if it’s satelite connectivity like starlink !! So every bit of GB is needed and when my friends ask for hotspot sometimes random people connect by sharing qr codes and all and then I have no luck to contact my family for remaining days or I just have to buy data ! Soo I need that thing ! It’s in every OS ! It’s not clutter it’s just not useful for you ! But it is for me to save my time and not always unlocking the phone go into settings and see who connected while working.

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 and we have to save up data

So you are saving data by pulling the notification panel down but not by doing what I just showed you in the video? Ok, got it 🤝

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 sometimes random people connect by sharing qr codes

Block random people so you wouldn’t have to worry about that? Change password and tell friends to not share it/QR it around?

Anonymous931 2 devices are currently connected one’s my TV second is my daughter’s phone and it doesn’t show anything not even in settings like it was in the picture you shared ! And it’s same in my phone 1 , phone 2 & 3a pro

GalibHossain_EuIYRZpoTs boring man, they should have added the setting to change the battery icon or something there is absolutely no change in the os can’t be called a major update

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3 Hotpot is on but they are not connected. There, I can do the same:

You skipped this very conveniently:

😁

Arbaaz_rRhvxSXQI3

Anonymous931 they are connected!. Forget it man

Didn’t know years old battery should be necessarily changed. Only a few geeks care about this cosmetics…

They only thing I’d wish them to have is having a dark lock screen clock colour because I can’t use light wallpapers because of that. It still should be connected to a selected colour theme.

Almost everyone was a geek up until 8-10 years ago then, and almost everyone will be a geek again from 2027 onwards then (the EU mandates to have easily user-replacable batteries, they can be sealed but user must have an easy access to replace it if they wish) 😁

themountofmint

Anonymous931 user-replacable batteries is not the same as changing icons in UI, at my point 🙂))

Anonymous931

themountofmint You didn’t quote anyone there so I wasn’t sure what is that about about, my bad 🥴 I was just reading the other thread here, how sealed irreplaceable batteries are great because phones are “tougher” so thought that was somehow related to that, sorry 😄

titanOmega

Yes changes are very less they didn’t even integrated the new material theme and animation from Android 16 atleast gives us an option to choose well if they can’t do tht atleast give us an option to resize the app icon its the most basic thing every ui has now a days default icons looks soo big and hedious
