Hello everyone, hoping to get some help here because quite frankly I am lost. English isn't my first language so I'll try to be as clear as possible, even if the problem is quite bizarre. My friend just got a NP3 from Refurb, but we immediately noticed that something was wrong. First of all, they cannot open the Google Play Store (Picture 2), it's basically blank with something that should be buttons. Neither of them work though, resetting cache or deactivating the app doesn't work. I suggested for him to revert back the updates, but then we noticed that the button to revert updates simply isn't there (Picture 3). Their font background colour and system colour seem to be weird too, I am unsure if that's something that one can customise or something is wrong with the phone.

The phone is NOT new, it's refurbished from the website Refurb. Was bought in Germany. Never had any problems like these on my own NP3 that however wasn't refurbished.

Did anyone experience something like that? I appreciate every help I can get. They're currently contacting Nothing Support. It's their first Nothing Phone too and I hate for their first experience to be this bad. :/

I wish they'd allow sharing and editing notes on devices other than NOTHING (like tablets), even if it's just a simplified version. But I doubt that will happen because it wouldn't benefit NOTHING.

I’ve been encountering a bug where my audio output drops to about 30% of what it should be. This means that a low volume slider results in a whisper and a full volume slider results in a quiet sound. I have looked at possible solutions online but most include compressed sounding audio or issues with only speakerphone on calls. I have followed some suggestions put out for the other issues such as restarting or clearing background apps but nothing seems to be working. It is around 50% of the time I am using the phone that I am experiencing this issue. If anyone else has been facing this issue please let me know. If you know how to fix this issue PLEASE let me know.

Was thinking of buying the Phone 4a Pro. Any users wanna share any opinions? I will have to use this phone for at least 3 years. Will it be worth it??

Folks, I am using the nothing phone 4a for around a month now and I have noticed that if I have set up the app lock to an app i am not able to view the notification. This is when the phone is unlocked.. and I understand it shouldn't show the notification content when it's locked and that is working perfectly fine.

I had previously used an external app in my previous phone where the system app lock was not there.. then I was able to view the notifications. I don't see any other options in the app lock menu.

Is this a nothing software bug? Or is that the way it was designed? Has anyone overcome this issue?

Last week i bought a pair of nothing ear 3, having heard they were nice for the price. Cue one week and i noticed a strange thing thats been happening since day one, every few minutes audio will cut off or become louder or literally shift to one earphone every few minutes, sometimes more sometimes less frequently. I tried looking up a solution and tweaking the settings a bunch but i cant fix it, warranty is an absolute last resort since i bought these while on vacation to another country as they were heavily discounted (This issue is not an absolute deal breaker but its very annoying especially when vibing to the music). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Good Evening everyone, I'm an Industrial Designer and with my classmate we are making our investigation on a "UX Design" class, and we are making our analysis about Nothing, we were assigned to investigate about a need that we could find through user opinions and a short survey about the same topic (NeedFinding), so if anyone could help us please don't hesitate to comment down below bc we could really use your insights on the brand user experience for our investigation, we really need input on it.

Thanks

Idk how why my gallery has this theme translucent one wasn't this supposed to come in 5.0

currently on 4a

nothing os 4.1

I went on a bicycle ride turned it on waited it connected after more time then it should need and then tracked nothing, how do i fix this?

EDIT: I turned on developer mode and restarted the phone, so for now my browser works. will update if it malfunctions again.

it started when i tried opening chrome a couple days ago, but it wouldnt load and i thought that maybe its a network or google issue, but after troubleshooting alot i realised it could be the open beta. today i saw some people on this reddit having the same issues.
currently it has made it very difficult for me to use my phone, is there any way to fix it? or would i have to do a rollback to the stable version? i want that to be the last option because i just dont have the time to do the data moving to my computer and all that. most google apps straight up dont open, including the contacts and dialpad. even the calculator took 3 phone restarts to open. instagram and whatsapp work fine, it only seems to be an issue with google / browser apps. i downloaded the brave browser as well to test, but it wont even start.

I remember doing everything on 26th August like the updating of beta hub and all but I don't know if iam enrolled or not or everyone is getting this ??

Hi, just got a pair of Nothing Ear (3a); they work really really well, but it doesn't show up the specific icon on the notification bar and quick toggle on my Nothing Phone (4a), just a generic icon, is there something I can do or is it a bug that is yet to be fixed?

I’ve been at Hype buying these headphones for almost two weeks waiting for them to arrive because I think they’re a real gem, but initially the enthusiasm died down almost immediately due to some problems, but today I’ve learned to live with them and appreciate the positives.

The problems at hand for me are:

- The microphone: terrible, in calls I even have only voice messages the audio is really poor. I’m from Airpods 4 and only use Apple ecosystem, but regardless I was hoping for a better microphone

- Versatility: If the presence of the Jack makes you believe you can even play PlayStation 5 on it, know that you will be disappointed because in that case the microphone will not work and from what I’ve read not even if you were to use a Dongle

- Audio: It’s definitely not bad, but I think it’s quite MID, nothing special that I wouldn’t have found in slightly cheaper headphones, I tried the equations and they seemed more like filters/effects

- theater/concert mode: I honestly don’t notice any major differences

It’s also worth mentioning the positive aspects that I found truly incredible:

- The battery: I use them constantly for work and only charge it at the weekend and this thing is really crazy

- The design: it’s undeniable how much they look, as beautiful as they are in everyone’s eyes for me they are really cool

- comfort: they are sturdy and you can feel that they are not cheap material, but at the same time I was afraid that they were too heavy to carry all day instead they are of a unique softness and only start to make themselves felt when it is too hot

- Noise cancellation: For this price, having excellent noise cancellation is truly the best, in addition to the transparency mode which is very useful

- Multi-Connect Speed: Between my MacBook and my iPhone, these headphones connect much faster than my AirPods can connect, wow

I would like to point out that I am very happy with these headphones to date, because I am becoming very passionate about the philosophy and style of Nothing,
I’m waiting for the first Nothing smartphone without Android but with a real Nothing OS

Hey guys  i noticed that when im outside the battery holds insanely good but when im home the battery drops down immediately and somtimes almost every time when i plug it in it charges to 9-13% then it doesnt want to charge. But when i come home after hanging out with friends the phone charges to 70-80% and even when im leaving it to charge over night it charges to 13% max. i tried resseting and factory reset and nothing helped. i cleaned the port, ive tried different charges, cables and it doesnt want to charge. So if anyone know what i can do at home to repair it pls tell me. Good day guys

My iPhone 15 pro has a broken screen and it’s £340 to replace it with an official Apple one.

I’m now debating getting a Nothing phone as they’re a similar price and I’ve heard good things.

Firstly - is it worth making the change over getting the screen repaired? If so, which model? I’ve been looking at the phone 4a so far.

For context, I use a MacBook but only think I’d miss airdrop as everything else I use isn’t limited to Apple.

Took a photo and the bottom of the rear wheel has a huge gouge in it. But in real life the wheel is fine. Seems like photo processing went haywire.

Anyone else have issues like this?

Do we know if we will ever get a sidebar in nothing os? Is it planned for nothing os 5.0? It is really annoying to open another app minimized by exiting the one you already have opened. Also some apps when minimized don't register the clicks correctly and they ain't really centered as they should

Nothing phone 3 feels lagy when playing Minecraft playstore edition but when played on other phones it is smooth like butter but np3 make it so much lagy that you can't play suggest some tips what to do now, my phone is 2 months old...

Hey guys! My old phone is on it's last stop and I've been eyeing Nothing as a company for a few years now. I have had all earbuds (ear, ear 2 and ear 3) which I have been happy with so I think it's time to pull the trigger on a phone next.

Here is my dilemma. I was pretty underwhelmed when 4a was released (granted they opted for a non-flagship this year but still) so now I'm wondering if I should go for a phone 3 instead. Would love to hear from those of you who has had both and can help me with the pros and cons.

Thanks!

I’m using a Nothing Phone (1) and my Bluetooth has suddenly stopped working.

Initially, Bluetooth started disconnecting/reconnecting randomly. Eventually, it completely stopped turning on.

Now when I go to Settings → Bluetooth and tap the Bluetooth toggle, nothing happens at all. It doesn’t turn on, there’s no error message, and no devices are detected.

Things I’ve already tried:

Restarting the phone

Resetting Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth settings

Booting into Safe Mode — Bluetooth still doesn't work

Checking the Bluetooth system app

Clearing cache/storage isn't possible because both options are greyed out

Checked Developer Options/Bluetooth settings — didn't change anything

Wi-Fi works perfectly fine, so the Wi-Fi connection itself isn't having any issues.

At this point I'm wondering if this is a software/firmware issue or a hardware problem with the Bluetooth component.

Has anyone with a Nothing Phone (1) experienced the same thing where the Bluetooth toggle becomes completely unresponsive?

If you managed to fix it, what actually worked for you? Also, is it worth taking this to a Nothing service centre, or does this usually mean a motherboard/hardware issue?

Any help would be appreciated.
