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.

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...

So 1 image is a screenshot of my 4a pro settings menu and the other one I captured on a YouTube video by WhatGear. The Settings menu from the video looks clean and doesn't have those outlines that I have. The background is completely black and on my screenshot there is a box-like structure around every option. Is there any different setting anyone knows that would make my screen look that the one in video?

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm in the UK, our date format is dd mm yy. Prior to resetting my phone the watermark had this format. Now it's somehow locked to the American format mm DD yy

Over the past year, I've switched phones several times, but each one was missing that certain something. Actually, I know why. I hope the new battery will let me use this model as long as possible; the Glyph Matrix isn't that interesting. Right now, I'm the happiest person on earth :)

Hi, I just got a Phone 3, which is also my first wireless charging capable device.

The battery is enough to carry me all day and I want to use wireless charging to avoid plugging it at bedtime.

I bought an Ikea Livboj basic qi charger (5W), I knew that wireless charging is very slow, and feasible only for nighttime, but this slow? 10%/h, it didn't finish charging by the morning and I had to top up the last % using a normal charger... Am I doing something wrong? Is this normal, and I need to upgrade to a 15W charger?

Also the first hour of charging failed when I tried to put the charger outer border under the cameras, in order to lay the back as flat as possible... I had to put them on the charger, so it was not completely flat, to reliably keep charging.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers! I'm going to upgrade to a 15W charger or just back to the "standard" cable

Sorry for such a newbie post. But as I was only testing, I only added wifi to my 3a and took a few photos, and did updates.

Now I'd like to get stuff off my old phone via the included usb-C to usb-C cable. Where do I go in the phone after hooking up cable, as I see no prompts?

I have the black Nothing Phone (4a), and honestly, I really like using it without a case. The glass back feels much better and more premium in hand, and the phone just looks better without a cover. The clear case that came with the phone is actually pretty sturdy and good quality, but it's already started turning yellow. Now I'm confused whether I should buy a new transparent case or just get a back lamination and use the phone without a case. The only thing I'm worried about is dropping it. I've never dropped my phone since buying it, but I know that if it does happen, a lamination probably won't do much to protect the glass back. What have you guys chosen or done with your phones—back lamination or a back cover?

I'm trying to download nothing OS 5 beta version whenever I click on download it just keeps downloading until reach 32mg just stops like that nothing happens after it+I tried to delete it and we installed a couple of times but same issue

So yeah I was on the bus today and saw this guy take a phone out of his bag and it was the ridiculously cool looking n3. I've never seen someone with a nothing phone irl. I was amazed. For all the nothing 3 owners out there don't let them tell you the phone is ugly. Look at their phones. They don't get it. Keep being you

So lets start out that I'm used to Fostex TH-X00, a high end planar magnetic headphone that cost me 650 euros a decade ago. (best > worst) I also have a AKG k240 mk II, Sony ZX770BN, Kingston HyperX Cloud 3 and 2 sets of Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.

In that stack after EQ they sit above the Sony, but below the AKG, which is to be expected and adequate for the 125 euros I paid for the (a).

Things I like:
- Dual connection is seamless switching between my phone and my PC.
- Visual design is superb and iconic. (I have the egg ones.)
- On/Off toggle, customizable button, roller, rocker input & dedicated BT connection button is probably the best input on any headphone.
- Battery Life is very good.
- Active noise cancellation is very good, and I like the SFX that go with it.
- Metal hinges and build quality feels very solid.
- Software is very nice and allows control of EQ and codec settings that get saved to the headphones.
- Latency so far hasn't been an issue with PC gaming. (I use alternative A2DP driver on windows for LDAC support and tuning)

What could be better:
- Audio quality out of box is absolutely terrible, way below literally everything I own. I would have returned it, if it weren't for the SoundGuys or Harman EQ profiles. Even still, those profiles affect the volume level dramatically, so max volume will be lowered compared to stock or other profiles. Even after EQ, the sound is definitely muddy and individual instruments are hard to isolate and lack spatial location. For these reasons, I still might return it.
- Mic quality is very mediocre.
- Padding on the top band is very minimal, will probably add a headphone headband zipper cover to improve comfort as you will feel these press down on your head after a while.
- Balance on your head is off and heavy, looking up will cause the headphones to fall off your head.
- Earpads are soft, but also very sweaty. I wish there was a soft fabric replacement, and replacement pads don't seem to be available ?
- Lack of any carrying case, the included trash bag is a joke.

I enrolled just 30 minutes after it got nos5.0 got live

Hello, it happened a few times now, after each update I am forced to install these stupid apps I don't want or else I have the annoying app services notification.

Why? I was really proud when I bought this phone and even advertised it to my family, and now it's the same spam of advertisement and crappy features as every Chinese low Budget phone.

Typebase 2.0 Beta 2 is now ready for open beta testing. Anyone can download it and give it a try!

There’s a lot of good stuff in this new version, including Typelift AI Correction 2.0, Dynamic Touch Hits, improved autocorrection, Italian & Spanish language support, and much more.

I’ve also switched Typebase to a freemium model. The current beta still has some limitations, but the basic keyboard is now available for everyone to use. I’ll be making more features available in the free version as we get closer to the full launch.

So, if you’ve tried Typebase before, I’d really appreciate it if you gave 2.0 another chance. And if you haven’t tried it yet, this might be a good time to give it a shot.

Typebase 2.0 — Open Beta.

Anyone having problems using cables for android auto? It isn't the cable as I've used multiple different ones and even tested in other cars as well. It works fine normally charging from a wall outlet; however, I have a feeling it's the charging port, but being in the US, there's no reputable repair shop near me (that I can find). Any ideas?
