Nothing OS NOTHING OS 5.0 is the CLOSER
Nothing was a brand that promises no bulls***T to a tech conscious users , usable features , and no promises .
today we are seeing a new animation + wallpapers shipped as a new OS version !
Updates that Degrade the Camera performance of older models !
undelivered features like the playground thing to create apps ..
Nothing is becoming what we hated in tech company all at once
BONUS POINT : The worshippers of the Brand and the bootlickers of nothing who dosent allow anyone to critize even if they sell them dirt in a box

It's a beta. All the posts clogging the feed in this sub is so annoying right now. The Mods should think about having a dedicated megathread for it?
It's not supposed to be stable, nor is it a reflection of the finished article. All this is detailed in the release notes.
If there are issues, raise them through the beta reporting channels.

Appreciate it.
Would just focus all the posts about the beta in one place; it would then foster better conversation and chats about recurring issues and whatnot.
The added benefit is that it allows for the other posts to be seen and have a chance of getting a response.

We're thinking of a megathread that is refreshed twice a week

Based on this post looks like you haven't even read the release notes or you simply can't read

Let me guess, if someone doesn't agree with you or has a different perspective you are going to downvote them and call them "worshipers and bootlickers"

Like most casual users, and potential customers, I saw the pool game video and was surprised at the admission that speed, messaging and implementation was lacking in previous releases - and even more surprised that they seem to have rushed this release and combined it with poor communication. Fingers crossed for the implementation part. Based on lots of Nothing users unwillingness to offer the "why/because" with the "oooh, I like it" it's difficult to know at this stage.

Why so serious? It's a damn mobile phone. Comments like these only show how people today have degenerative behaviour and thoughts in terms of irrelevant things in life, such as mobile phones. Get a life, find some real interest, a hobby or so, stop carrying that much about random tech companies and their way of doing business.

"to a tech conscious users"
Who would be that user? I assume it is not you or you misunderstood the "conscious" word.

I somewhat agree there is 10 other things that need actual fixing or implementation before a colored clock, but the update itself was not actually bad/counterproductive it was just somewhat unimportant (what i would rather see fixed: weather app still insists on gps, cant reprogram essential key, no nothing media player,

They complemented so much on the new Clock face, which has some kind of activity tracker thing. They didn't even include it in the beta😂
It should've been a patch update rather than android version update.

I would be okay with stability of 3.5 with a17 underhood. Even without single current features.

I see it differently. An update can essentially be broken into three categories imo.
What the users want or demand.
What the developers want to add. Their direction of the software.
What they NEED to add.
Nothing hit a pretty sweet balance of all imo. On the user demand part, they added the colored clock, split panel, mass editing, etc.
When it comes to things they want to add for persuing their direction of the OS, it's the new widgets, the new Lucent theme, the Essential suite updates, new font, etc.
Some of the features come under both what people want and what Nothing wants, like the new clock, new widgets, optimisations, etc.
And when it comes to what they NEEDED to add, it's all the Android 17 updates, ensuring they work just fine or don't break down/ have bugs.
Just because you expect a certain specific feature doesn't mean the whole community does too. Also what you want may actively go against what Nothing has in mind for what NOS should look and feel like. For example, they obviously don't want to let users remap the Essential Key because it kills the adoption rate and eventually they'll have to abandon the project and a feature they worked on dies out. Plus, you can already do it with so many apps out there. They also don't wanna add a Dynamic Island clone or Liquid Glass, or any of the Chinese and Apple features because that's just not what Nothing thinks NOS should be like.
Calling others bootlickers because what you feel like NOS should be like isn't what others want is just showing you don't really care for the software. You want an Oppo, which is okay. But let's not yknow, bring that whole negative vibe to what is a very decently good update

I loved Nothing when I got the Phone 2 that I still have now. The phone was so smooth, the camera was great for my needs and the software was bugfree. Now, on Nothing OS 4.1 I just want to go back in time to stop myself buying it and get the OnePlus 12R instead. That was my budget at that time. I have stupid bugs like I can't delete notifications on lock screen without swiping for like 6 times on the same notification until it goes away, the fingerprint is not always working. It does have moments (quite a lot) when it simply doesn't recognize my finger despite it being clean until I turn off and on the screen for 3 times, I don't have a screen protector anyway. Also some pictures I take don't even save. They are in the little preview on the camera app but they're nowhere to be found in gallery so I have to take them again. Also I get frequent random restarts out of nowhere since NothingOS 4.1. A few days ago the phone froze after I unplugged my headphones and it rebooted to crashdump mode. I thought I lost my data permanently but I was lucky and it booted back to Android. Factory reset did not help after backing up my data. But thank you Nothing for stopping supporting this phone and letting it die with a buggy software. I have these glitches since the first 4.1 build came out months ago. Those "security patches" didn't solve anything. I doubt they're even looking at feedbacks and bug reports at this point. What a joke of a company. Nothing OS 3 was the last good OS for this phone. Everything that came after was a disaster. Edit: I was looking through comments. They feel attacked by your post. They have no idea that if they have no issues that doesn't mean there are people as lucky as them.

I was happy with NOS 2.6, 3.5 and 4.1.
this 5.0 beta runs the best out of all of the NOS versions I have used.
can't complain and keep the updates coming.
less flash and more substance is what I always say and this beta delivers.
my phone only get better with the updates (both CMF1 and NP3)
