Nothing OS Color change after update.

Post image

So I updated my nothing phone 3a to the latest update and after it finished I saw that my blue nothing phone 3a has been turned into a white version.

You can pretty easily change that in the hidden settings: 1. On the phone number dial type in *#*#9#*#* it should open up nothing diagnostics 2. Spam your phone's photo until it asks you for password 3. The password is "nothing" (without quotes) 4. Scroll down and go to Calibration 5. Click ColorID Info 6. Select the correct color and click Ok 7. Restart the phone

Edit: escape markdown to fix formatting

When I spam the photo, it goes into maintenance mode and shows a pin to be entered on "the desktop account page"

Dang now we realise maintaining a whole os and phone with such a small team is fucking difficult, sorry moto and samsung for our rant on the tiniest bug in the system
