JP The update came out like it was an official stable release, but now we’ve found out it’s actually a beta version. They didn’t even mention it, and I’m wondering how they can push a beta update without us installing or signing up for the Nothing Beta Hub app.

JP

dirtyfingers ohh… strange…this is a working solution before.. will update here if u find something

DJ yup… i also thought why there is a B in update name… maybe they pushed it because people are too exited and got toxic… ,

DJ

JP But they should mention in the setting page that it’s beta.

people are too exited and got toxic…

I agree ☝️

Same, I’m also having np2a plus and still not got any update yet. Is there any reason for not having any update on 2a plus

Firmware (bot) I really thank you very much and you are very amazing, but I have done all the tips you have taught me and posted in your threads. The only problem is that it may not work without the internet in Iran because of the filters and sanctions.

Firmware (bot) When the official announcement of Nothing OS 4.0 rollout was made, the update was visible in my phone N2A Plus.

But due to some reason I did not update it at that time and then I come back after 1 hour and check the update but the update is gone, there is no update now.

Is this a bug, a glitch or is there some problem from the official Nothing team’s side?
