Nothing Phone 1
First, is your PC recognizing the phone when you connect it? Second, when plugging it when fully off, does it boot to the "offline charging" state? (Showing the charge percentage with phone still off)
Third, were you on stable or Open Beta software?
1) Using Win10 i can see the following (see attachment. Translate: driver is unavailable)
2) No react to churgeing
3) Stable version. lust update till 1.7

Is Hard reset and wipe data the same fou our phone?

As fr as I know, and I'm no pro, Qusb_bulk is Qualcomm's Emergency Recovery, meaning it's something you won't be able to fix at all on your side. It kind of reminds me of Pixel 3's NAND failure tbh.

My only advice would be to return the phone to get it exchanged... Unless somebody here actually has a better idea.

Hi to all.
I suddenly discovered that contactless payments have stopped being made. Google wallet says that the device is not certified. No actions were taken with the device. Nothing OS 1.5 (Android 13) EEA. Why? How to fix?

You agreed to that very thing when you accepted the beta participation terms and conditions; the beta is NOT certified by Google because it is a test build. To fix, wait for a stable update or wipe the phone and restore it to NothingOS 1.1.7, and, next time, read instructions before accepting stuff.

Edit: Since you probably don't know, without SafetyNet, Netflix, some banking apps and some games will not work as well

This is for uncertified devices to be able to use Google apps, for example when you customize your ROM. SafetyNet is a google-side verification/attestation that requires the bootloader to be locked and the system partition to contain exactly the same files as the verified copy.

Since the system files are not verified by Google at all, even rooting won't help, since all that MagiskHide and similar stuff does is "spoof-restore" the pristine version of the system you're on.

Sorry.

I have installed Nothing OS 1.5 (beta) (Global) on top of NOS 1.1.7. In the future, when A13 stable rolls out for Nothing Phone, can I update it on top of Beta? I don't want to lose data at any point.

Also, wanted to know the procedure to go back to NOS 1.1.7 if I change my mind.

Thank you.

Regarding to the first question, we don't know for sure, usually they're 2 distinct branches that are not compatible with each other (see OnePlus for example).

Does anybode know, if it's possible to make a quick access to lighter while phone is blocked in the same way like Google Wallet has?

Question about the layout of the status bar, where now only the time is visible.

How can the status bar be adjusted / changed ?

I would like to see there:
  1. date plus time.
  2. throughput speed.
Thanks for any response.

MvG, SciFi.

Can i not reduce the vibration intensity?
I disable any vibration stuff to preserve autonomy
no option to double tap the screen to wake it up?
Gestures/Press to show lockscreen (sorry, freely translated from french "Gestes/Appuyer pour afficher l'écran de verrouillage").
In the same way, "Lock screen"/Immediately lock with On/Off button" also allows you to lock with double tap (on the main screen only). I don't like to use mechanical buttons for anything else than their main aim: in my previous phone I even installed an app (something else I dislike ;) ) to lock the phone. Mechanical stuff are more prone to breakdowns.
Why can't i hide the 3 button navigation bar when i'm not using it.
Gesture/System browsing, select Browse with gesture, tap the gear. The three buttons are hidden for me. There I disabled "Swip to call google assistant" and left both sensitivity sliders to Medium.

Greetings to all. Are there any firmware without Google services, the so-called clean roms? What I see here is all with Google. Yes, I can debloat, but there is still a lot of unnecessary garbage in the system after the removal of which it becomes unstable.

Yes chances are very high that you will get OTA.
2nd I don't think you will go back to NOS 1.1.7 if you don't TAP to PAY feature, because except that almost everything works even better than stable build.

    Hi everyone I want to clarify if someone has the same problem on Android 12 nothing os 1.1.8 (same Android 13 nothing os 1.5.1)
    flip to glyph function does not work.
    It works out only if you noticeably raise the front of the phone (where the camera block is), the transition between firmware and hard reset did not help. Bla attempted to calibrate the accelerometer, but also did not give results.
    Has anyone encountered a similar situation and is it possible to somehow solve it?
    Only when tilted this way does the function work.
    Here is how to turn on Flip to Glyph !

    For those who are not able to turn on the flip to glyph on Nothing Phone (1) even after trying restart and factory reset. I bought them on 15 Jan' 23 and mine didn't worked either. With the latest updates still it wasn't working. Here is how to do it.

    1) Open phone dialler, type *#*#0#*#*, CIT menu will open. Find all the options which has sarsensor, compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, distancesensor & the most important sensor calibration.

    2) Now one by one open this options and follow the steps written there. If you have followed the steps correctly and getting back to the main menu it will say PASS, if not pass then try again and wait for the result if all okay manually enter PASS.

    3) Once done with all the steps especially for the last step sensor calibration which requires to put the phone on a flat surface ( preferably on a floor or table) and wait for the sensor to be recalibrated. If the result is PASSED then you are good to go.

    4) Go to Glyphs interface, turn on Flip to Glyph and it will work for sure if followed all the steps correctly.

    Hey folks, just a quick question to verify my research so far:

    Is there a usable recovery for the NP1 out there, that allows easy pushing/pulling of full backups (like TWRP for literally any other device)?

    For me it looks like the manufacturer did set up the phone in a way that nobody really has an easy option/access for that task. I'd like to upgrade to A13 but I would really prefer to have a solid method of just pulling an image of the current state of my phone.

    So is my general impression correct, that we don't really have a usable recovery system for NP1?

    Thanks :giggle:

    Hi,

    After updating to Android 13 in my Nothing device, I am facing issues with instagram reels. Reels are not scrolling, I tried clearing cache, user data and uninstalling and re installing the app. But this is not solved.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have created this thread which will allow to gather, but also to help by bringing answers to the various problems which can meet the owners of the Phone(1).
    Unfortunately some of these problems cannot be solved here, in which case you will have to contact Nothing Support and explain your problem clearly.
    Otherwise, if your problem can be solved here, feel free to post it here and xda members may be able to provide a solution for you and others.


    PLEASE SEARCH AND READ BEFORE TO POST EVERYWHERE, FOR A BETTER HELP. THANKS (y)

    I was thinking of backing up my IMEI numbers when I get my device, to prevent this from happening. I'm hoping the Qualcomm Product Support Tool works with the phone. @Sib64 Do you suggest any other methods to back up the IMEI?
    Having no clear and definite visibility on this kind of problem and despite the various messages left on the Nothing Discord or the forum, there is no feedback yet.😠
    I wrote the tutorial that allows to use Qualcomm's tool (Qualcomm Product Support Tools) but I'm not sure if it works for the Phone(1), even if the processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon.
    So when in doubt, I prefer not to post it.

    But this afternoon I will post a tutorial on how to use Sideload.;)

    Hi, i noticed a weird bug with night shift mode on the nothing phone1, no matter how you'll set up your night shift mode it will always turn it on BUT it'll never turn it off again, at least for me now.

    Hopefully it'll get fixed within the next update
