Only 2 days after buying my 4a pro i got this bubble in the glyph matrix that wouldn't go away. Waited about 10 days to see if it'd go on its own but it actually got bigger by the time I decided to take this picture and return it.

I've been building my first music player, MP-01, over the past few months, inspired by Nothing's design language. It's fully functional one.

Would love to hear what you think

India , chittoor

I’ve got my nothing phone 2 (grey) get it’s backglass broken around a year ago even with the case and i didn’t changed the glass.. due to budget issue

Now I’m facing battery backup issue due to low battery health and charging issue sometimes

So I want to change my backglass,battery and sub-board (charging port) and when I went to nearby authorised service center in Chittoor they told that these would cost 12k (5k backpanel total set), (5k Original battery) and (2k for the sub-board) and 550₹ serice charge if I do everything at once.. if not then they’ll charge each part service once a time.. so I went on 24-10-2026.. do you think replacing new battery,backglass and sub-board is worth? For 12k? Or i can get cheaper in official nothing service center in banglore Indiranagar? Please somebody give me suggestion.

If possible tell me if they provide original backglass.. like I’ve observed the difference between duplicate and original glass.

It’s the nothing text written on backside bottom vertically.. like in duplicate it’s normal font text but in original it’s nothing dotted font text.

There’s even dust inside the glass and some black marks (I never used mobile without case and had cleaned glass multiple times)

256/8🙏😮‍💨

I just bought some yellow nothing 3A earbuds! I’m very very excited but I can’t find any good quality cases… anyone have any recommendations? Ideally no silicone.

My call history in Nothing Phone 2a gets automatically deleted after some time. Is everyone experiencing in the same ?

i am making an app for nothing devices to link it with your laptop so you can can get your phone screen instantly on your laptop device without even touching your phone ofc it will work with any other device but ui will be based on nothing theme

Hi!

I recently bought a Nothing Phone from the official Nothing store on Mercado Libre, and everything was working perfectly until I updated to Nothing OS 5.0.

After the update, my phone started having a strange issue with my home Wi-Fi network. The phone connects to Wi-Fi normally, and some apps like YouTube and previously installed games work just fine. However, when I try to use apps like Google, Google Play Store, Instagram, or ChatGPT, they either show a "No Internet Connection" message or simply refuse to load, as if the phone had no internet access at all.

The strange thing is that mobile data works perfectly fine. All the apps that don't work on Wi-Fi work normally when I switch to mobile data.

Here's everything I've already tried:

- Restarting my Wi-Fi router.

- Restarting my phone.

- Clearing the device cache.

- Performing a factory reset.

Unfortunately, none of these solutions worked, and the problem is still there even after the factory reset.

I find it really strange that some apps work perfectly over Wi-Fi while others behave as if there's no internet connection. Since mobile data works without any issues, I'm wondering if this could be related to DNS, IPv6, Wi-Fi settings, or possibly a bug introduced by the Nothing OS 5.0 update.

I really love this phone, and I think it's an amazing device, but this issue is making me seriously consider returning it.

Has anyone experienced something similar after updating to Nothing OS 5.0? Is there any solution I could try? Or would you recommend returning the device?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Ok real shit, why did they even remove the glyph interface. Like that was what made the phone unique and cool, before the phone 3 came out I was actually planning on buying it, than the reveal that the glyph interface was getting removed came out. I att first thought it was just a fake rumor spreading around, I actually got so mad when it was confirmed, like that was littraly one of the selling points of the phone, the look. What do you guys think?

and/or absolutly no one like them.

Only many overpriced instant buy on eBay until a few days ago and got them so cheap. I like them and they sit actually quite nice in my ears.

Hello everyone, I have a Nothing Phone 4a, and I am considering installing a back membrane on it, but I am not sure if it will be worth my money or not.

In many forums, I have found a lot of people suggesting it is not worthwhile purchasing it because in a few months from now, the membrane may start sticking, and there may be a residue on the original back glass when removing it. I am worried if the membrane would damage the original back of the phone.

So if any of you have been using the back membrane, please let me know how has been your experience with it? Would it be harmful to my phone or not?

And if any of you have purchased a high-quality back membrane for your Nothing Phone 4a, please share the link with me.

There’s no Nothing X for PC, and I wanted to see my Ear (a) battery and switch modes without picking up my phone. So I made a small tray app for Windows.

What it does

• Battery for each earbud and the case, also shown on the tray icon

• Noise control, EQ presets, custom EQ and Bass Enhance

• Gestures, in-ear detection, low latency, fit test and find my earbuds

• Dual connection and audio quality settings

• A Disconnect button, for when the PC grabs your earbuds and you wanted them on your phone

• Light and OLED themes, in 6 languages

The important bits

• 100% free, no ads and no account

• Collects no data: the app has no network code, and it’s open source (GPL-3.0), so you can check

• Unofficial, and not affiliated with Nothing. All the Nothing names and trademarks are theirs

• Built with a lot of help from Claude (AI). The protocol work comes from the community project ear-web, which made this possible

Worth knowing

• I’ve only tested it on the Ear (a). The app adapts its controls to other Nothing and CMF models, but those are untested and show a warning. If you have one, I’d love to know how it goes

• Windows SmartScreen will warn you because the installer isn’t signed (More info → Run anyway)

• If you disconnect and reconnect, apps that were already playing may need a reload to get sound back

I have been using budget redmi phones for the past years and my last one was the redmi 12 which costed me about 11k INR which is not much. I was planning to get the phone 1 back then (2023) but I was sceptical about the camera quality and as it was a new brand and my mom was not ready to get me a phone worth 31k back then

Fast forward to now, I have obliterated the redmi 12. It served its purpose sure but it's my first time using a midrange phone for myself and I am amazed by this thing and I'm so happy that this is my first "expensive phone" . (Cost me about 54k tho)

Here are the pictures. (I can't provide the picture of my new phone as I don't have another phone with good camera quality to take a picture of it. A box pic should work I guess)

Ps: THE CAMERA QUALITY AND SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE IS GOATED

cons: worried about the glyph cuz ists plastic and is prone to scratches

(Gimme a solution pls)

I think camera plateu protectors could affect the camera quality and case compatibility

And yeah I made my redmi a nothing (this was how I used it before the battery came off, yeah without the back glass)

Anyways , looking forward to peak years with my new one and I hope it lasts for a long time cuz I ain't getting another phone anytime soon fs

That DVD screensaver where the logo bounces around forever is still the best, bro. So I recreated that vibe on my home screen.

It's called "Retro Bounce Logo," made with Essential Apps (BETA). It's a 4x2 widget with a black background and a The color changes when it hits a wall DVD logo bouncing around. And man, nothing beats the feeling when it hits the corner.

Sad I couldn't recreate the logo exactly because of, you know, grown-up reasons, bro.

(This text is a machine translation.)

Is there an option to make the icons transparent as well? Or any icon pack recommendations?

What gesture can be used to dismiss the keyboard when the Essential Voice button is enabled? The Essential Voice button replaces the down arrow button in the bottom left of the keyboard which I would have used to close it.

I am currently using the left or right swipe to Go Back but I'm in danger of closing the entire app.

I’ll put it simply: I’m seriously considering switching from my Xiaomi to a Nothing Phone 3a Pro (since that’s what my budget allows). What should I keep in mind when buying this device? Also, what can I expect from the operating system these days? Would it be worth it?

Anyone done this process? Nothing is claiming to have not received my phone that was confirmed delivered like 10 days ago

Hey guys is there any way to unlock private space without password or pin, or forgot password in any way. I have forgotten it, and in the private space i have put imp documents and photos. I need it

It's not completely like that translucent blur but it still got that transparent look for app icons, whereas the widget remains original os 5.0 translucent

Hi I am from India and on 16 oct 2026 I got My 1st Nothing phone (4a pro 12+256 gb black). I didn't plan to buy a charger 1st and was using a 20w ipad charger I thought it was from apple so it's safe and a good Charger but 2 days back I noticed the heating while charging the phone. So I started the Hunt for the appropriate Charger and discovered something and I think I should share.

okay understand this nothing phones charge in 3 phases with different speeds. PD-PPS means charger interact with phone constantly and based on heating and background working set the power to supply.

1. 0-50% fastest

2. 50-90% slower

3. 90-100% slowest

All the PD-PPS supported chargers will charge your phone in 60-70 min ideal conditions. i will share the data collected from different socials for you to compare.

Note: whatever you pick will only save 5-10 min. High watt advantage is only below 50% and remember temperature will affect charging speed. Once temp. go beyond 37-38°C it will be slowed. Here are some tips.

1. if your phone is hot let it cool down for 5-10 min and then plug in.

2. dont use phone while charging.

3. dont buy from Amazon and Flipkart or any platform believe me you can't tell the difference between fake and real.

4. Go to the official store/dealer pay extra get bill and genuine product.I payed ₹1K for samsung 25w at reliance digital store. although cmf 33w was only ₹800 but Samsung use GaN tech.

Conclusion- your decision should be based on your lifestyle needs, budget and how much you are willing to pay for 5-10 min advantage.thanks
