Hi hope your having a good day.I been using the iphone 13 for 3 years now and its already given up on me,i have a shit ton of complains about this phone

(1) horrible battery life (i just only use social media and maybe read some comics on this thats it,ion game on this thing at all didn’t even buy it)

(2) Screen is way too tiny to watch YouTube videos on and read anything on it

(3) camera quality is actual dogshit and keeps shutting down on me whenever i even record a video or overheats

From all the reviews i have seen nothing 4a pro fixes almost all my issues that i have on this phone, but before i end up investing in it i wanted to ask someone who uses this phone day to day and not as a secondary phone and someone who switched from an iphone to nothing.How better or worser was your experience ? Was the ui harder or easy to get adjusted to coming from an iPhone ? Hows the battery life for extremely light tasks like watching videos or scrolling through the web ?

Hi everyone!

I own a pair of Nothing Headphone (1), and while I really like them, I have a problem with the ear cushions: they're too small for my ears.

I'm wondering if anyone has found larger replacement ear pads that are actually compatible with the Nothing Headphone (1).

Are there any oficial or third-party replacement ear pads with a larger internal opening that i can use?

Are the ear cushions from the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro bigger?

Hi guys so...I made a custom glyph ringtone with the song -

Pathala pathala - kamal hasan -Tamil

With glyph Tools v2

It's stereo... I mean each audio channel (left & right) is assigned to each glyph respectively

Try it once !

Upvote if you guys think it's worth it !

Thank you !

Hey everyone,

​I’m finally upgrading from my Xiaomi Redmi 12 (which honestly ran fine until updates completely bogged it down) and I’m stuck between getting the Xiaomi 15 or switching over to Nothing (looking at the Phone (3) or the (4a) Pro). Definitely not interested in iPhones.

​I’m a bit particular about how I use my phone, so here’s a quick rundown of what actually matters to me:

​Audio & battery quirks: I regularly play two audio sources at the same time (like a YouTube video and music without one pausing the other). I know HyperOS does this natively, how annoying is it to set up on Nothing OS via ADB? Also, I like keeping battery saver on 24/7 (even right after unplugging at 100%) and capping the charge so the battery stays healthy.

​Charging & hardware: Really fast charging is a huge priority for me, along with eSIM support, good overall specs, and a solid camera. I also need it to have a headphone jack.

​Sideloading & daily apps: Being able to freely install APKs (ReVanced, etc.) is a must. Aside from that, I rely daily on Private DNS for adblocking, WhatsApp/Calendar widgets, Warpinator, FX File Explorer, WinRAR, VLC, and the "show taps" dev option when screen recording.

​Notification lights: Kinda niche nowadays, but I really miss the old-school physical notification LEDs (like old BQ phones used to have), which is partly why Nothing's Glyph lights caught my eye.

​Between the Xiaomi 15 and Nothing, which one do you think would give me fewer headaches? If there’s anything else important I should know about either one (bugs, weird OS limitations, battery drain, etc.), I’d really appreciate the heads-up.

​Thanks a lot in advance!

There are no game mode features 😔

I used to play ff max .

Pls add some fps improvement, voice change,touch sampling rate features .

If u thought helpful pls comment or like so that it can reach everyone

Is anybody else having issues with accessing the Nothing X app's health section since the 5.0 system update? I keep getting a rotating circle, and none of my health info is coming up. I've tried restarting the app, and restarting my phone. It doesn't work.

I have shifted from Vivo to Nothing 3a pro. While using chrome, the scroll hangs and it feels very frustrating.

Ot mostly happens while using ChatGPT. Any way to fix it?

Tell me about your experience, personally attracted by its uniqueness.

New one

Smooth af

Lockscreen is quite basic but nvm

Idk why but i like to change my homescreen every month

Currently got a pixel 8a, looking at maybe getting the nothing 3 Vs the 10a and just wondered if any users out there had experience of the 3 Vs a similar spec pixel like the 10a or 10 and how. Does it stack up in real world use. Any advice welcome 😁 thanks

Well if it wasn't turned on for a while it stops working after i turn it on. Idk what do i do...

Currently using an iphone 13,severed me well but im afraid its time for to upgrade cuz the small screen is starting to get really annoying and i cant stand this godawfull battery life + im having charging issues.Im currently eyeing the nothing (4a).

budget -₹40k (can stretchq to 56k if really worth buying something better)
My uses-: Im mainly would be using it for day to day task nothing much social media,yt, maybe read some stuff on it so would prefer a bigger screen over the 13 cuz its way to small and occasionally i would be doing some photography but camera comes last as far im concerned and i need a good battery capacity should atleast last me 3-4 hours with light tasks .Just need a phone with easy to navigate ui thats easier to get used to coming from iPhone (never once in my life have i used an android ).So should i go with the nothing 4a or is worth spending extra for the 4a pro for my use case ? Also any other better alternatives you would suggest for my budget ? (AGAIN DO NOT NEED A SUPER FAST PROCESSOR WONT BE RUNNING A SINGLE GAME,ALREADY HAVE A BEEFY GAMING PC FOR IT SO PLS KEEP THAT IN MIND TOO)

The stable rollout was expected around mid-November, but it's already November 15. Does anyone know when we can expect it to arrive?

Also, for those using the latest beta build, how's the experience so far? Have you noticed any major bugs or issues? How's the battery life and overall performance?

Would love to hear some real-world feedback before the stable update rolls out.

I’ve been really enjoying this EQ! Love how smooth and natural everything sounds. I don’t speak Mandarin Chinese but I translated that is for Soul music and it works extremely well with R&B! Thanks for sharing!

Finally got my first Nothing phone (4a), and I've been loving it so far!

One thing I've noticed, though, is that the gameplay recording quality isn't quite on par with my previous Samsung and iPhone devices.

I've attached a clip for reference. Is there a way to improve the recording quality through settings or third-party apps?

Would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

I have been using Nothing phone charger for 2 years with my Nothing phone 2 now after a fall it stopped working what charger should I buy or we can repair the charger and user.i am from India.
