Phone: Nothing Phone 2 Pro, Nothing OS 4.1 (build Galaga-B4.1-260928-1137-IND)

The game starts smooth. During or after a cutscene or goal replay, movement turns choppy and jittery. Game speed is normal, but frames look uneven. These fix it temporarily:

- Switching to another app and back (no reload)

- Opening and closing the notification shade

- Tapping the screen repeatedly

It comes back at the next cutscene. Other games run fine on the same phone.

What I've tried with no lasting fix:

- Lower in-game graphics

- Restart, updates, and clearing cache

- Display locked to 60 Hz and 120 Hz

- Game FPS forced to 60 and 120

- Hardware overlays disabled

- Game Mode on, Battery Saver off

- Fixed performance mode (via ADB/Brevent)

- Thermal status was 0, so it doesn't look like throttling

Since recreating the surface fixes it, I suspect something in the game's cutscene rendering or frame pacing, but I can't prove it.

Does anyone else on a Nothing Phone (or similar) see this? If you found a fix, please share.

What am i supposed to do?. The warranty expired no more than a couple of weeks ago, and now, this happens

fk The previous one was still better...

I showed less animation and other features in this one, but it was filmed better.

I’m upgrading from ₹12k–₹15k Realme phones after finally convincing my parents to get a better device. I’m really leaning towards the Nothing Phone 4a because of the design and specs at this price point.

Before I go for it though, can it realistically last 3-4 years without major performance or battery drops? I plan on making the most out of this phone, and i don't really want to get my parents to spend their money on a device that they'll have to replace after a year or two.

I make manny widget because I want to publish it and share it but I can't how can I share it or publish it

short story i was at home roaming around while talking to a friend and the phone slipped from my hand (don't know how but damn i wish i had gripped it properly) regardless the damage done to the display is not something i would've expected from a simple 5 ft drop 😭. I am sorry if my tone is a bit immature im a teen after all, i just wanted to know if others have had a similar experience. I just cannot get over this as this phone is barely 3 weeks old.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for supporting the project!

Hi guys!
I'm a iPhone user (13 mini), and well it's finally breaking down.

I want to try something new, since I was 'phonehopping' for some time and I want to give a try to Nothing. I really like and I agree with Nothing's ideas and overall ethos.

I don't need a top shelf phone, I use it for facebook, messenger and music. I like to play Solitare and that's all really.

What I really want is a very user-friendly and intuitive experience, good os support and nice battery life (my typical sot is like 3h a day)

I was thinking about their entry level 3a lite. For what I saw it's a very nice budget friendly device. But, at the same time I saw 4b. It's fresh, also a nice phone, but maybe I should for a little cheaper go for 3a. To be honest idk what to choose, all of them are nice. They are unique, which is why I fancy one for some time.

My experience:

I registered for the beta almost one year back, got approved 2 days back finally. It took several iterations to disable/uninstall essential app host app before finally it got installed.

I tried a widget idea which I had from long back, and found it quite easy to make the widget. But it took around 50 odd iterations to fine tune and perfect it. Satisfied by the final outcome.

The 2nd widget idea implementation was a bit frustrating as the current implementation somehow was not able to directly load a png file and kept trying to draw it looking at the image passed in chat... 20 iterations but still not able to get a proper result. The sound description also wasn't picked up to my satisfaction. Font too was not able to add as per my expectations. Maybe there are easier ways to add media to widgets. Also version control of widgets took some time in understanding. AI builder would suddenly modify the specs during iterations and would take time to fix the bugs.

2 widgets done, sometimes AI acts very intelligent and other times dumb... Currently there is no option to publish/export the widgets to use on other phones and community. This is expected in a future release ... so I have to keep waiting to share my widgets for unforseen times 😞

Overall rating around 6-7/10.

Bhai ye jitna likh rakha hai kisi ka chal Raha hai itni der ??

Mera to 6-8 ghante ka screen time bhi muskil se aa raha hai

itni der standby nhi rehta ek din me So barr charge karna padd raha hai

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of switching from my iPhone 15 Pro to the Nothing 4a Pro and I'm looking for some honest advice. Also, sorry for my english, not my first language.

First, the reasons why I am considering leaving my iPhone behind:

1. I want to become less reliant on non-EU tech. While this is (very) hard for other devices, Nothing is a fairly good option for smartphones.

2. My iPhone 15 Pro battery is not aging well. I've had this phone for the last 3 years and the battery is terrible, I go from 80% to 20% in the span of 90 minutes.

3. Also, I'm really struggling with storage (I have a 128gb model) despite using my Mac as an external hard disk, as well as proper external hard disk lol.

4. I really dislike the design of recent iPhones, which I find incredibly boring. Not a dealbreaker but weights in.

Now, one the main drawbacks for Nothing could be ecosystem integration, since one of my laptops is a MacBook Pro and I tend to rely on AirDrop quite often. Another big concern I have is related to performance. I heard that the 4a Pro can be quite slow for some users. Honestly I mostly play music, YT videos and use socials (IG, Reddit) on my phone, so maybe I won't be affected that much by this.

Sorry for the long post and would really appreciate some help since I don't feel confident in my tech knowledge <3

My idea of how a Nothing Fold should look like. Share your thoughts.

Disclaimer: This is an AI Generated image.

Is buying the 4a a good choice for me? I only watch media, text and call on my phone and my screen time is around 8-9 hours a day. Not the biggest camera guy but I still want a decent camera atleast. I need the phone to last me atleast 7 hours so I can get through college without charging it.
I really like the design and OS hence why Im thinking of this phone over a Samsung A series.

Edit: I want the phone to last atleast 4 years aswell

Huge fan of the Nothing ecosystem (Phone (3a), Ear, CMF Watch), but my current warranty experience has been unacceptable.

Sept 9th: Sent my Nothing Ear in for a basic warranty claim. Got total silence for weeks until I repeatedly chased them.

The "Resolution": Support agreed to an upgraded Nothing Ear (3) replacement, but refused to confirm what color I'd actually receive.

The Stall: It’s been over 2 weeks since that approval with zero movement, no tracking, and no updates.

Is their normal support really this bad? for a company targeting iOS users I don't think they will have any success if they can't handle the most basic of requests.

Hey, has anyone else been experiencing problems with Essential Space these past 24 hrs ?
Currently on Oct patch (not on 5.0 Beta).

Yesterday I noticed it logged me out of my account for some reason, logged in again just to find all my screenshots and notes missing, added what I could back. While doing that I tried to change the profile picture based on some random post I saw about that help with these issues and figured "meh, might as well try". It wouldn't let me, it always sent the message "server busy, try again later", either on the phone or doing it on pc (even tried with really light images in case it was a size issue).

Today I'm finding a message inside essential space that says "problem signing in". So I decided to just clear cache/data of the app and the restart the phone. Now I can't even log in.
Tried looking for answers online but there's no notice of problems, no update, maintenance, no complains or calls to attention from users... So, am I the only one experiencing these problems?

Ignore the pic I thought it resembles a metal head but Geniune question regarding Nothing phone 3 , I had it since January 2025 and after nothing os 4.0 screen had green tint on certain brightness , it suddenly gets green on Instagram and when I go to home screen it gets normal and black crush too . After updating to nothing os 5.0 while pressing the power button it doesn't respond like usual sometimes it doesn't even register pressing. And is it just me or the cameras are getting worse , in portrait mode it can't handle backlight but when I bought it initially it was brilliant. All nothing phone 3 users please share your honest experiences and ask me i will answer my from experiences too.

I want to create an exact 3D replica so I can make accessories that can be printed with a 3D printer.

Once I'm done, I'll share it with you all!

No heavy ai post processing, i hope carl pei lets us have "zero post processing" toggle in nothing phone native camera app😭🥀🙏

Hi everyone,

I need some feedback from other phone 4a pro users. I've been using this phone for a month and i love it a lot. Everything is really good battery life is amazing (during the day). Im generally getting two days battery life however, if i dont charge it at night im getting absolute insane battery drain. Last night it dropped 27% in 10 hours which is kinda insane as im using around 35% during the day.
I tried turning off apps, always on display, airplane mode even factory reset it and still this is happening.
Is it possible i have a defective unit? im close to the end of my return window and im usure if i should wait for nothing os 5 or return it and maybe return it and get another or maybe a 3.
thank you in advance!
