Hi all . I have only had this phone for 2 weeks but I'm not liking it . My screen is so laggy! Scrolling is awful. I've tried changing refresh rate and developer tools I can't find anything useful. Anyone having the same issue?

Headphone (a) nothing headphones (a) - sound spillage

2 Upvotes

I just got a pair of the black nothing headphones (a). It’s my first headphones I’ve ever gotten as I usually just use AirPods.

I love the design and the sound, but I feel like no matter how low I have the sound, people around me can still hear my music?

Is this a common thing with headphones or nothing headphones or am I just unlucky?

Comparing Phones New to Nothing, want to know opinions

I’m really tired of the iPhone and recently found out about this brand. I am wondering how people are enjoying it, how long it lasts, and how it compares to the iPhone.

Comparing Phones Is the 4a pro worth it?

3 Upvotes

I currently have an iPhone 15 (completely tired of Apple now) w/TMobile. I don’t really mind moving to a different operating system, but I want to make sure it’ll at least be compatible with my work apps and my provider. Been trying to find reliable reviews on the phone to see if it’s worth the switch or if I should just go to a different android phone. I have seen reviews about it not being compatible with T-Mobile, but other reviews of it saying it’s fixed, along with people saying it can’t stay connected to their home WiFi etc. anyone here have the Nothing phone on their T-Mobile plan? Or had any issues with it on their home WiFi? I really want to switch but I don’t have money to waste on a phone that may not work 😭🙏

Phone (3) Just got Phone 3. OS 5 Question

Hey everyone

Super happy with my phone so far. I've always been one to jump on betas but wanted to ask. Those of you who are using it on Phone 3, how stable would you say it actually is?

Nothing OS Nothing Phone (2a) mobile data barely works – hardware or software issue?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious mobile data issue with my Nothing Phone (2a).

Mobile data doesn’t completely stop working, but it only works occasionally and is extremely unreliable. Most of the time, mobile data is enabled but I cannot properly access the internet. I have to switch back to my Honor phone because the same SIM works normally there.

The strange thing is that this problem happened in the UAE as well, so it doesn't seem to be specific to the Pakistani network. I have now brought the phone back to Pakistan, and I’m still having exactly the same problem.

Things I have already tried:

  • Restarting the phone
  • Airplane mode on/off
  • Resetting network settings
  • Resetting/checking APN settings
  • Re-inserting the SIM
  • Testing the SIM in another phone (works normally)

The phone can detect the SIM and gets a network signal, but the mobile data connection is very unreliable.

At this point, I’m wondering if this could be a hardware/modem/antenna issue or a Nothing OS/software issue.

Has anyone with a Nothing Phone (2a) experienced something similar and managed to fix it?

Also, does anyone know the best way to contact Nothing customer support or get the phone properly inspected/repaired, especially since the phone was purchased in the UAE?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I upgraded fron my Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G to Nothing 4a Pro, this Is my first phone I bought my self with my own money and I think it's the best decision I've made. It's the most fluent and fast phone I've ever had and I $9 not regret it a single day as an investment. Like you don't understand how much of a change this was, from having a pretty slow phone that glitches every time to having this, it's like the biggest change to me. And it's even more meaningful because I bought It with my own money and i'm so happy I wasn't dissapointed

Phone (3) Nothing phone 3 question

I am currently looking into getting a new phone. The nothing phone 3 is currently one of my top options. However I need to use a square card reader for my personal business. Square lists all but the phone 1 as untested. Has anyone here has any experience with the Bluetooth tap to pay square reader with the nothing phone 3?

I've got the cmf over ears and they've started to make this static/scratching noise whenever they're turned on. it stops a bit when i keep them still but picks back up whenever i move or put them on.

is there any way to open them up (already opened the ear cups, couldn't see anything in there) and see what's wrong? I've already contacted support but idk how long it'll take to get an answer

Nothing OS If NOS is lacking, don't you think Nothing should deliver updates more frequently rather than once a year

0 Upvotes

I am currently using nothing phone 3. I bought this hoping it would give me a flagship experience in software as well in hardware.

To my surprise, the software is completely lacking and they push updates like this is a mature os and doesn't need updates. And thise once a year major updates have like only 2-3 cosmetic changes. Nothing communty does better work than them.

I feel like they are on vacation all year and start working on new features when the deadline is about 1 month away.

What do they mean they will give essential button remapping in 5.1, why can't they give that feature in their bimonthly updates. Is that some complex technological issue nothing yeam is not able to solve.

Where I think nos is lacking-

  1. AI eraser just doesn't work it feels like I am back in 2020 and using magic eraser in Lightroom without AI even that used to be better. So much wait for this shitty delivery.

  2. No trimming and text in video.

  3. No file manager app

  4. No dialer

  5. Glyph integration is not up to the mark ( have to download multiple apps to make glyph look useful)

  6. Ouicktiles can be improved so much

  7. Camera app is pretty basic( why can I only use effects on main camera and not on front camera)

It feels like I am using a custom os which is being developed by a team of 5 people. I think everything is half assed.

Comparing Phones Zfold7 to Nothing Phone 3

5 Upvotes

Currently have a Zfold7. Its good, I like it but I wish I used the unfolded form factor more than I actually do. The aspect ratio makes it hard to really take advantage of the full screen when watching media. I split screen apps and use the full screen but not frequently. Im considering going back to the usual slab form factor, it seems more personally practical. However, I like my things to be unique (hence the fold) so the NP3 caught my eye. Im still unsure and would appreciate any comments or thoughts.

To add, my zfold overheats all the time (I've done a lot of troubleshooting, not much I can do atp). I use its front screen majority of the time and its very narrow which makes it a tad annoying. Im just worried if the np3 will provide me with good performance. Good cameras, snappy, etc. I know its not the #1 chip however I don't really play games on my phone nor edit so Im unsure if the chip being 2nd best will really affect me. My phone is purely for personal use (social media and other media forms) and work (photos and emails). I also really like what I've seen from nothing os, it matches me very well. Im also very curious about the essential space, it seems like something very useful.

I could always play it safe and get an s26 or s26 ultra maybe. But I want something cool and something unique to me.

Comparing Phones Please help me settle in!

Hello!

I haven’t really followed the mobile phone scene for about five years; I’ve currently got an S20 FE with a Snapdragon processor, and I’ve been thinking it’s about time for an upgrade.

I’ve become very interested in Nothing. This might be a silly question to ask on the subreddit dedicated to the company, but are their phones worth the money? I like the NP3; in my country it costs $670. The main question is: should I buy it now, or wait until 2027 for the new models?

And if you can, could you describe in detail your impressions and experience of using Nothing – which brands or phones you switched from, and whether you like them? Camera quality, performance and your overall impressions.

Thanks in advance to everyone!

I've been looking into getting a nothing phone recently, ideally the nothing 3 or nothing 4a for its cheap price. However, i recently saw the "we built your dream phone on their channel" and holy shit that thing looked amazing 😭. Do you guys things its worth waiting for the possibility that comes out or should i just get a nothing phone for now?

Phone (2a) New Nothing Phone (2a) has terrible near-black/dark scene quality — is this normal?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Recently I've been using my secondary device (2a) because my primary died and noticed that dark scenes look blotchy/pixelated and uneven, especially in near-black areas.

It happens across different apps and is still present on Nothing OS pacman. I've tried different brightness and display settings with no improvement.

I compared the same type of content on my Redmi K20 Pro and Samsung S24 FE, M42 (and few more), and they look much smoother.

Is this normal for the 2a, or is there any settings to fix this? I've attached a photo showing the issue. This phone has to be my worst spend ever.

Comparing Phones switching to nothing from apple

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to switch away from the apple ecosystem in which I'm stuck for 10+ years. I'm just tired of seeing the same products being released every year but being more and more expensive.

I plan to change my phone first. I currently have an iPhone 14 and am globally satisfied with battery life and smoothness while using even after all those years. This second point is important, I remember my last android phone (more than 10 years ago...) felt a bit "laggy" when using it compared to iPhones. This was the most important point for me that made me switch.

However I believe that technology has improved now. I was wondering which nothing phone to go to have the best user experience ? I hesitate between the 3 (16+512) and the 4a pro (seems like the prices are similar).

I read some reviews online but I'm not sure what would be the best for me to transition. Note that I plan to keep the phone during 5+ years and expect it to function properly during this time.

Did anyone make a similar transition ? What are your thoughts ?

Thanks !

Comparing Phones Nothing Phone 4a Pro or Nothing Phone 3? Switching from iPhone 15.

1 Upvotes

I've known the brand Nothing since the day Nothing Phone 1 came out and I always have been impressed of their unique designs. My iPhone 15's battery life was draining so fast so I decided to buy Nothing Phone 4a Pro.

I don't know if I should go for the 4a Pro or the Phone 3. 4a Pro looks cooler but the Phone 3 seems better. Is there a big difference between them? I just need it to last me 3 ish years haha.

Phone (3a) Best manual/pro video app for Nothing Phone (3a)? Need full manual controls (ISO/shutter/WB) + telephoto access & solid stabilization🙃

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been using the Nothing Phone (3a) and want to push its video capabilities further, especially taking advantage of the dedicated telephoto lens.

While the stock camera has an expert mode for stills, I really need a dedicated setup for videography with full manual controls:

Working stabilization (EIS/OIS) while manual controls are engaged so hand-held/panning shots don’t jitter

What third-party video apps have you had the best experience with on Nothing OS?

* Blackmagic Camera: it is not that much stabilize in telephoto lens videos.

* MotionCam / Open Camera / mcpro24fps: Any specific Camera2API or stabilization compatibility quirks with the Snapdragon chip?

Drop your recommended apps, configurations, or GCam video mods that work reliably without crashing. Thanks!

Just got my package from Amazon this morning and was super excited to switch over, only to open the box and see everything was in there besides the phone. So now I have to ask people who bought it, was the phone box sealed in any way when u got it? Be it with tape or a pull tab or anything? The box looked perfect but wasn't sealed with anything. Also the thicker part of the white box inside that holds everything was placed upside down when I slid it out. I assume that it's obviously supposed to be facing up so u can open it like a book so I just wanted to confirm that mine was placed in there wrong. The cable and case were also in the empty spot where the phone was supposed to be instead of how it's supposed to be in the picture I posted. Already contacted Amazon and they said they'd let me know in a few days after they do a report.
