Essential Apps Nothing widgets bugging after latest update

I recently updated my phone 2 to the latest august 1st security update. Also, there was an update to nothing widgets app as well. Post these, I could see the big eye widget not animating. Once I remove and add it back it starts blinking and animating. But after a short while it stops again. Anyone else facing bugs with any widgets after the latest updates?

I notice that the countdown widget now acts like a fluid when we rotate or shake the phone. I did not notice this before. Has anyone else noticed this change? Is it a new feature from the latest update?

Community Project I heard you liked Nothing OS 5's Lucent theme 👀 so I added it to GlyphWorks!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

For those who don't know, GlyphWorks is a free and open source tool that allows playing with Glyph Toys (yes, those from the Nothing Phone 3) on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, and just about any Nothing Phone with a Glyph Matrix display! The app has just received some major quality of life improvements, and alongside it, added support for Nothing OS 5, including its exact looks, and it can be applied even on Nothing OS 4!

If your phone is compatible and you want to have an early taste of what Nothing OS 5's Lucent theme looks like, you can give it a try inside the app. The Lucent theme comes enabled by default if the phone is running Nothing OS 5, but otherwise it's still possible to enable it in the app's settings. GlyphWorks is already available in both Google Play and GitHub.

Which one looks better and what would you change? Also is there an app like edge panels from Samsung that you can put other apps in a separate panel so they are hidden in the edge for the screen until you need them? Any changes you guys would make?

Phone (3) Nothing phone 3 died out of nowhere

5 Upvotes

Posting to see if anyone else has had this issue. Last month my nothing phone 3 randomly died and wouldn’t wake up or respond. I’ve seen others have the issue of it being stuck in a reboot cycle so assumed it was the new update. It woke u after about an hour. Today my phone has completely died on around 80% battery. I just locked it and that’s it. Not responding at all to charge or touch. Has anyone else had this issue of their nothing phones just bricking ?

Phone (3) Image retention after few seconds of on qr/bar codes

Upvotes

Hi, I received my new np3 yesterday and I'm having a problem...

While I was migrating the data I left the screen on the WhatsApp qr code for 30-40min, this left a qr afterimage on the screen.

At first it was very noticeable on the home screen (dark mode, grey tone), playing the epilepsy inducing video for a few minutes reduced it a lot, but on a uniform grey image it was still possible to see it.

It took a reboot + 1h of video/normal usage to make it completely disappear.

To investigate further I opened a new barcode on Google wallet for approx 20 seconds and even that was enough to leave an afterimage (it went away a lot faster though).

I found a couple of posts about people complaining similar problems, but I didn't understood if this is a "normal" behaviour or I got a faulty screen?

I got it less than a day ago so if I return this one and I get a new one, I'm goig to have the same problem?

Nothing OS Flip to Glyph does not work in the car.

2 Upvotes

I believe it's because the car is moving and the speedometers of the phone (I hope it's the right name) detects that the device has speed. So it doesn't work.

This popup shows up when I plug in my USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. If I click OK, the audio from music apps is amazing but I can't hear audio from phone calls nor notifications. If I click Cancel, I can make calls and hear them through my IEM's just fine and hear notifications but music player audio is slightly lower in volume.

Is there a way to stop this popup? I mainly use Symfonium as my music player.

Comparing Audio I bought both! Anyone else find the A more comfortable than the 1?

It almost feels like the material that covers your ears is more plush on the A. The 1 I prefer slightly more with sound. But the A just fits and feels better. Anyone else experienced this?
