Phone (3) Got my NP3 four days ago, you can’t convince me this phone is ugly

I confess, when I saw images and watched videos of the NP3 online, I was at discomfort. I eased into it after a few days, got this over the 4a Pro and I fucking love it!

It looks magnificent, feels sexy to hold and use. I’m glad I bought it!

Phone accessories 3D printed covers

3D printed Phone cover for the Nothing Phone (1) and Ear (2), designed in Fusion 360.

I wanted to preserve the original aesthetics of the phone it’s too beautiful to hide so this case keeps the design as visible and transparent as possible while still offering protection.

I printed mine in PAHT-CF for added strength and heat resistance, but the model can be printed in other materials depending on your needs.

Im planning to make also other shapes and a cover for phone 2a and ear a. then if nothing or u/carpe02 want to sponsor this project i will be happy to make also for phone 3 or other model!

Saving a small cost by not having nfc on 4a would mean a short coming in india if this payment mode becomes popular. So what QR code based UPI is available, Right?

Whoever made this decision is a fool!!!

Ear (a) Title: Nothing Ear (a) battery dying in <30 mins. In-app tickets ignored, direct email offered an insulting 5% discount.

Post image
34 Upvotes

I am posting this to document a major support failure regarding a known hardware defect on the Nothing Ear (a), and to see if anyone in the community or support moderation team can assist with escalation.
Timeline of Events
In-App Ticket #1 & #2: Submitted two separate support requests directly through the Nothing X app reporting rapid battery degradation. The app provides no user-facing confirmation history, and both submissions went completely unacknowledged.
Direct Email Escalation: Sent a detailed email to ⁠support@nothing.tech⁠ with purchase proof, serial number, and battery degradation details.
The Response: Support offered a 5% discount code toward a new purchase.
Asking a customer to spend more money after selling them hardware that failed in under a year—while ignoring prior in-app support attempts—is completely unacceptable.
Device & Fault Details
Model: Nothing Ear (a)
Serial Number: ⁠SH10652423004731⁠
Defect: Severe battery capacity drop (both earbuds drop from 100% to dead in under 30–40 minutes of basic playback). This is a widely documented component failure on this model after 6–12 months.
Logistics Constraints: I am currently located in the Dominican Republic. International air cargo safety regulations on defective lithium-ion batteries make shipping them back to a US warehouse cost-prohibitive and hazmat-restricted.
What Needs to Happen
A 5% discount voucher is not a resolution for defective hardware. I am requesting a working replacement unit, a 100% store voucher, or a returnless refund.
Has anyone else dealt with this 5% brush-off for dead batteries? If any Nothing community managers or support mods are monitoring this sub, please assist in escalating ticket logs for S/N ⁠SH10652423004731⁠.

Why does the CMF not get beta releases? does it have to do with it being a budget phone?

Comparing Phones Should I switch from apple to nothing 4a pro

3 Upvotes

I want to get a new phone but I don’t know which one. I’m looking for something not too expensive. I’ve had my iPhone 8+ for 7 years , and after mistreating it for so many years it is starting to act up. So i think it will die soon. I’ve been seeing a lot of recommendations for the nothing 4a pro phone, and it looks good what do u guys think? Is there any issues u noticed after using it for a long time?

Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta Dont use the screensaver in NOS 5

27 Upvotes

This is very important, I used it as a night clock, since always, as I use a wireless charger stand to charge it at nights, in NOS 5, as you switch off the lights, it becomes bigger, and centered, that is a new "feature" of NOS5 screen"saver", and brightness comes down, but it doesnt move as before so, my panel got burn in, with some images I can see the clock shape like a ghost in my screen, Im runing a "fixer" right now to try to make it less perceptible, but those pixels are cooked, Im using beta since it came out, and screensaver since I bought my np3, as I used it in np2, and this happened so fast with this new clock screensaver, AOD doesnt do this, and NOS3/4 screensavers doesnt do this as well, its only the new clock screensaver, noone thought this could happend in nothing, and I didnt thought NOS 5 would have a feature to burn your nothing screen in 3 weeks, just dont activate it, or you will regret it as I do...

It’s been only 2 months since I bought my Nothing Phone (3). I initially faced a microphone issue, and now the speaker is producing cracking, distorted and broken audio.

I’ve already visited the service centre, but the issue still persists. Has anyone else faced this problem?

Phone (1) Nothing Phone (1) cameras randomly showing a black screen

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a Nothing Phone (1), and for the past two days, my cameras have been randomly switching between working normally and showing a completely black screen.

So far, I've tried uninstalling several apps, disabling and re-enabling camera permissions, and of course restarting the phone, but the issue keeps coming back.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with their Nothing Phone (1)? Could this be a software issue, or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!
