Hello and good morning, @vpn77

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've edited your post! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.
XDA Forum Rules (excerpt):

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
...
In future, please refrain from posting such requests on XDA!

Thanks for your cooperation!

Hi there, Anyone knows anything about Android 13 official Update
Beta testers got the stable build of 1.5.2 with Android 13 a few days ago. But there are no official information yet regarding the rollout to the rest of users. The changelog of Android 13 indicates important improvements in the software.

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.

Can you try without phone case? Maby your sensor isnt placed correctly, and you need contact with service center

Most likely the matter is in the sensor, because without a cover the situation does not change
Is there any way to solve this without a service center? As there are none in my country

Received the stable Androind 13 today. I have noticed the following :

The lock reen shortcut for device controls does not appear in the lock screen when I select it from the settings. The other shortcuts for the lock screen work fine. Is this a bug or it is just me?

device controls does appear for me (except right after a reboot).
However, none of the shortcuts are working for me at all.

Hmm, my wifi performance is really not good.

My S9 on Wifi N pulls around 170Mb a sec and the Nothing phone cant even hit 100Mb.

Is there a setting I'm missing..? Wifi perf cant be worse than a 4 year old phone.

I just watched Marques brownlee's review and I gotta say, he's right about the glyph lights.

It needs more customisation. There's no way to tell what alert came In or what's it's for, just that something happened.

Are there any improvements on the way regarding that? Or any software that allows us to customize?

Hello Guys !

Context:
I recently updated to Nothing OS 1.5.2 from 1.1.8 EEA
(Couldn't find the right stock boot image to update via OTA -> Version mismatch/Installation failed)
I then tried to rollback to an older Version (1.1.3) from (1.1.8) to an "update through the OTA till 1.5.2" to try getting back to a stock Rom-State.
I installed boot and Vendor_boot.img from 1.1.8 EEA which did not work and left me in a Fastboot-bootloop. As an last Option i downloaded the Nothing OS 1.5.2 Fastboot Rom.

At install i noticed, I can't unlock critical partitions to flash the Full ROM but the Phone works without flaws since 2 Days.

Question:
Does it make a big difference if critical paritions aren't flashed ?
(I have had bad experiences with updates not completly installed)


Best Regards

Why can't you unlock flashing of critical partitions?

It is not allowed for me to unlock critcal partitions.
command: fastboot flash unlock_critical

It says something like "not allowed" when i try to unlock ot via fastboot command, can't tell why.
Check if OEM unlock is enabled in developer settings. Also note that fastboot flash unlock_critical will reset your data. Otherwise, you can try flashing the missing partitions from fastbootd (not normal fastboot!) without unlocking critical. To enter fastbootd you can use adb reboot fastboot.

Thanks ! So if i flash critical partitions via fastbootd then i could prevent a factory reset.

    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
