Wish-

Anonymous1052 It’s there, please check again. I can see it in the settings of Nothing X and in the developer options as well. I’ve checked it with Nothing Ear 2, with LHDC V5 turned on. But I always keep it off because of battery.

Ergonom

Song covers in music player are too dark in 4.0.

Minor but annoying bugs on my NP2 after updating to NOS 4.0 -

When the theme changes to light mode at sunrise, the notification panel stays in a greyish tone. (FYI, extra dark mode is enabled)
The F1 playground widget doesn’t have a light mode.
The Gallery app is still inconsistent. When I open the Album tab, some folders don’t show the thumbnail.

Please fix these bugs in the next update. The bug in the Gallery app has been there ever since its launch.

Coldpaw

Regarding 3:

Have you tried deleting cache and data of the Nothing Gallery? I never ever had missing thumbnails on NP2 or NP3 with the app, even though I got thousands of photos on my phone. Since recently it also finally shows .gif

4ki

Coldpaw No, I haven’t. Is it ok to do that?

Ergonom

Why HDR photo and video save in 8bit depth?

4ki

Spark I have the same issue.

ShantanuBarhanpurkar

Ciao Community, mi è arrivato l’aggiornamento NothingOS 4.0(Pong-B4.0+251119-1654-EEA) sul mio NP (2) attualmente al OS 3.2. Mi consigliate di eseguire l’aggiornamento o di attendere un altro pò. Grazie

MassimilianoUrioni dopo l’ultima disavventura con l’aggiornamento precedente (non so se ti ricordi ma come te ero uno di quelli con problemi gravi di connessione), sono venuto anche io a controllare se qualcuno avesse avuto problemi gravi. Sembra di no ma nel dubbio aspetterò qualche altro giorno. Quel bug dell’altra volta è stato un dramma per me.

My WiFi doesn’t works. The same difficulty, I’m not able to verify the update…I’ve changed the phone. But when it will works (sometimes happens) I will try.
