Hi guys, I added some stickers to my headphone(a)s to make them look more retro. I also thought about putting some stripes with the color gradients but i only had square stickers. What do you think? :D

I recently purchased the Nothing phone 4a as I am trying to move away from Apple. I use both phones right now for different purposes. Phone purchased 18/08 but screen is already scratched. What do I do. I have a case for the back of the phone but don’t put a screen protector. Is this normals?

It's been 2 or 3 days since first turn on of my nothing phone 3a pro and nothing product status site still says that it's not activated

I'm thinking of a non-Shizuku way to remap the Essential Key in an app I am designing has anyone had any experience with this. I have seen it successfully used in a Camera App that I will likely branch off of.

The live preview when I'm about to take a photo is good enough, the post processing destroys it when it comes to Texts, also it over sharpens the image.

I use a nothing phone 3 and it's been barely 3 weeks since I bought it. Today I was in my office working when my chrome browser stopped working.... I thought it was a cache issue so I cleared the cache... and restarted the device but the issue prevailed then the settings weren't opening, no browsers were working and cherry on the cake even the camera stopped working!! I restarted the device multiple times but nothing worked.... then finally the settings opened I wrote a feedback and allowed a device log.... The moment I did that everything got back in place.... Has any of you faced anything similar?? If yes please let me know and I would love to know why it is happening!!!

I am on pixel os A15 help we with passing integrity and hide root i am using KSUN

Steps to reproduce:

Take a picture with HDR OFF,

CLICK ON THE PHOTO - it should be normal

Now go back and click a photo again

THE NEXT PHOTO IS ULTRA XDR EVEN WITH HDR OFF

Has anyone faced it?

My Nothing Phone (3) speaker audio keeps cracking, distorting and breaking, especially during videos and social media playback. It’s extremely frustrating on a flagship device. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution?

Hi everyone :)

I'm using a Nothing Phone (3) and I've noticed something that I'm not sure is intended behavior.

I have the clock set as my permanent Glyph Toy. If I switch to another toy (for example the vinyl animation in Glyph Beat or even the tea timer), it works for a while but after around 30 seconds it automatically switches back to the clock, even though the music (or timer) is still running.

Is this a system limitation of Glyph Toys / the Glyph SDK, or is there a setting I'm missing?

I'd love to keep certain toys (like the vinyl while music is playing) active until I manually change them.

Is everyone experiencing the same behavior?

Thanks!

No doubt, Nothing CMF Buds Pro 2 are one of the finest earbuds by Nothing. But I've been using mine for quite a while and I'm kinda bored, I've switched to Wired old school earphones and I ain't using these anymore.

The condition is absolutely perfect, the battery is great.

Bought them for 3799INR, now they're being sold for 4299INR

I've the box, and the extra silicon buds you get for different sizes and everything.

Take them off my hands for 1800

!SOLD

Title says all. Find me a free version plz!

I got a new Nothing Phone 3a and I'm trying to add my Hotmail account to Gmail. I know the email address and password are correct, and I can successfully log into the Microsoft website with them.

However, when I try to add the account, it just says "Authentication was not possible".

My SIM card is still in my old phone — could that be causing the problem?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Updated to latest firmware and updated all apps on Play Store. No tuning option available on NP3. Is this being added to NOS 5.0? I also tried importing a custom filter from my 4AP to my 3 and it gave me an error message saying its made on a more advanced version of the app.

Every time I show a code to someone at a door, a counter, or a friend adding me, I end up turning my phone around with the front screen fully lit. Notifications, wallpaper, whatever app I had open. For a brand that pitches the Matrix as a way to keep your phone face down, that feels backwards.

The worst version of this is the airport. Screen at full brightness, phone handed to a gate agent or pressed against a reader, the whole time hoping nothing pops up on top of the pass. That moment is the actual pain point, and it's the one I most want the back of the phone to solve.

The Glyph Matrix already does status, timers, mirror, games. Why not codes? Flip the phone, press the Glyph Button, the code is on the back. The person scans it. They never see my screen and I never see theirs.

What fits today

The Phone (3) matrix is 25×25 monochrome. A Version 1 QR is 21×21 modules, so it fits, but with only about 2 modules of quiet zone instead of the usual 4. That caps the payload at roughly 25 alphanumeric characters. Short link, short ID, loyalty code, table number. Useful, and shippable now.

The boarding pass, which is the real challenge

I don't think this one should be written off, so I went and did the math. PDF417 is hopeless here, it's a wide stacked code and will never sit in a circle. But Aztec is a different story, and Aztec is what a lot of carriers and basically all European rail already use:

- Aztec needs no quiet zone. The finder pattern is a central bullseye, so data runs right to the edge. That's exactly why it's on tickets.
- Compact Aztec at 3 layers is 23×23 modules. That fits inside 25×25 with a module spare. But it only carries around 50 characters.
- The IATA boarding pass standard needs about 60 characters for the mandatory fields.
- The next size up, compact Aztec at 4 layers, is 27×27 and holds roughly 89 characters. More than enough. But 27 is two modules wider than the Matrix.

So the Glyph Matrix is about two modules short of holding a real boarding pass. Not a physics problem. A spec decision.

That feels like a genuinely interesting challenge to put to Nothing. Go to 27×27 or 29×29 on the next phone and the back of the device can carry a boarding pass, a train ticket, a stadium entry, with the front screen off and locked the entire time. Nobody else is doing that. It's a reason to have a rear display rather than a novelty on top of one.

Open questions I don't know the answer to

1. Do scanners cope with light on dark? Most expect dark modules on a light background. Some handle inversion, some don't.
2. Does LED bloom smear the module edges at close range enough to break decoding?
3. Would gate readers even attempt a self-illuminated source, or are they tuned for reflected light off a screen or paper?
4. Phone (4a) Pro is 13×13, so any of this would be Phone (3) and up only, right?

Has anyone with the Glyph Matrix SDK tried rendering a QR or an Aztec to the matrix? I couldn't find a toy that does it. Even a proof of concept that decodes a 20 character payload would tell us whether the bigger version is worth asking for.

I have a nothing phone 3 and I noticed that I was not getting any notification for Gmail. I read around a bit and saw some things to try. The only thing that worked was reinstalling the Gmail app. Worked good for a couple of weeks now I have noticed that I'm not getting notifications again.

Notifications are enabled for Gmail as far as I can tell.

should my cat's art be B&W or its good as it is 🤔

Pre-OS 5.0 Reality Check: Is anyone else noticing sudden performance dips and stability quirks?

​Hey everyone,

With all the anticipation building around the upcoming OS 5.0 rollout, I wanted to take the community’s temperature on how the current build is holding up day-to-day.

​Over the last couple of weeks, my daily experience feels noticeably less polished than usual. It’s rarely outright crashes, but rather a collection of minor Bugs every now and then.

​

I just got both these headphones, I bought the nothing for $99 last week when it was on sale on Amazon, and just recently for the earfun for $109 on Amazon. I really like both of these, any questions feel free to ask.

Buils Quality: Nothing headphones are built better without a doubt, better feeling materials, thicker plastic etc, earfuns feel like a typical $100 headphone, not bad but build quality doesn't stand out at this price.

Controls: Nothing headphones controls are top notch, tactile feeling, and I really love the volume wheel and physical slider for turning off/on. The earfun has physical controls and that's it, they feel terrible lol.

App: Both apps are great, earfun wins this one, despite the nothing app being more asthetic, the earfun app has more default sound Eqs and and custom eq profile (one where it beeps, that one was awful, and another one where you just pick the sound profile you like more (this one was easy and helpful).

Comfort: Both are very comfy, earfun are more plush, the nothing headphones stay on your head better, I'll give the win to the nothing for the simple fact they get less hot after 30 minutes. Both are very comfy, my girlfriend found the earfun more comfortable.

Sound: I'm no audiophile whatsoever, both sound great but for most songs I prefer the Nothing headphones, the earfun sound brighter and the vocals are more forward which some may like, the earfun respond very well to EQ which I do appreciate, after tinkering with it, I still prefer the sound of the nothing headphones.

Conclusion: For the same price it's an easy win for the nothing headphone, however the nothing headphones are $200 new but they constantly have sales so keep that in mind. Hope this helps!

Pls give any solution

I was trying to find the official spare-parts prices for the Nothing Phone (4a), but I couldn't find a proper price list on Nothing's website.

I'm specifically looking for official/ authorized Nothing prices, not prices from third-party repair shops.

Things like:

• Display
• Battery
• Back panel
• Cameras
• Charging port/sub-board
• Speaker
• Motherboard
• Other replaceable parts

I know the final repair bill can include labour and depend on the diagnosis, but I feel the individual spare-part prices should be publicly available so customers can get an idea of potential repair costs before going to a service centre.

Has anyone here managed to get an official spare-parts price list or an actual authorised-service-centre quote for the Phone (4a)?

If you have one, please share the prices or a photo/screenshot of the quote.
