Is there a way to force specific app to 120hz? My main browser locked down to 60fps, unfortunately (I'm using firefox nightly from the play store). Usual stable firefox works with 120fps

My call history is automatically being erased I mean previously I've used poco f1 I still had whole 3 years of call data but in nothing phone 1 I can barely see 20 days call history. Is there any way to fix this problem? Thank you

How do I reset the system partition to its factory state? It seems that a factory reset only resets the data.
Can I apply the 1.1.7 update zip and then all the incremental updates while keeping my data?

Hi

I want to end up with OnePlus. What is happening now with this brand is a failure. It's getting worse and worse from version to version of Android, just like from phone to phone.
/I will probably go for the NP2.

Is the phone root friendly?
Doesn't the manufacturer create strange ploys like it is now with OnePlus?
After 9 Pro stopped sharing kernel, OOS became more ColorOS. Stuffing unnecessary and junk apps. Not to mention support and delayed updates.

PS. Would like to hear from phone owners what's the plus and what's the minus (yes for model 1)

Hey! I haven't installed any modules in a while, I've had a pending busybox install for a while, just had to reboot but haven't done that in a week maybe. Now when I tried connecting my phone to my computer and selecting transfer files in the notification, it said that I had to enable developer options. Which I thought was weird because it has always been on.

When I tried pressing 7 times on the build to enable it again nothing happens and no notification at the bottom saying "you're x presses from enabling dev options" or whatever it says. I then tried to restarting my device by pressing restart on the power menu but nothing happens, the menu just dissapears.

I don't know if I want to force power down my device, this seems kind of suspicious and I really dont want to enter a bootloop.

Does anyone know what this might be and if it's safe to force power down it to check if it fixes itself? I just want to make sure if this is something known.

Thanks!

I accidentlally locked my bootloader in a phone that was bricked and repeatedly circling the booloader. Any ideas on how to unlock it because when I tried to use the unlcok command, it says "Flashing Unlock is not allowed."

Brick​

Hello everyone,

I'm terrible at this whole story with firmware, adb & fastboot.

I wanted to upgrade from Nothing OS 1.5.2 to 1.5.4.

I installed the image 1.5.4. from xda via "fastboot flash boot" and it is bricked now.

I downloaded the ROM file from reindex, tried to install 1.5.4 first - it didn't work, then 1.5.2 - it didn't work either.
It is not possible to "Wipe data/Factory reset" through recovery because it says:
-- Wiping data...
E: DM_TABLE_LOAD failed: No such device or address
E: Could not create snapshot device: odm_a
E: Could not map snapshot for partition: odm_a
E: Unable to map partitions to complete merge.
Unable to check merge status and/or complete update merge.
Unable to check update status or complete merge, cannot wipe partitions.


What to do?
Help me, please.

Try your sim in another phone, if you still don't receive calls, check with your carrier to make sure there is no Incoming Call barring set.

    I got a Nothing Phone (1) as part of the US/North America beta test program and it was running 1.5.6 after initial updates.

    When the betas were released I went ahead and flashed the first one using the .zip from Nothing's website. However, when trying to update to the latest version I'm getting an error that the existing OS version isn't correct to be updated:

    "error code -2: pre-build-incremental is different from ro.build.utc"

    I get the same error when trying to roll back.

    I contacted Nothing and they've honestly been pretty useless. At this point they want me to send it in for warranty work and may even charge me for it.

    I got the 1.5.6 boot.img and tried using that via Fastboot but had no luck.

    Anyone know how I can get back to full 1.5.6 until the official 2.0 OTA arrives? I've looked through the repository on XDA but they all seem to be small, incremental OTA packages. I see that stable 2.0 is releasing today but my concern is that I won't be able to get the OTA with the issues I'm having. I've looked for ota.zip files to flash back to stock but they all seem to be incremental packages rather than full packages.

    TIA
    Flash all script with wipe

    Let us know how it goes.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

    I've got everything downloaded and in place but it's stuck here:

    View attachment 5988859

    Any idea? I've tried restarting it a couple times already and it keeps getting hung up here. I've tried the Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted in an elevated PowerShell but I'm already unrestricted.
    Run the script, if it gets stuck leave the script open but unplug and plug the phone back in.
    It's stuck at waiting for device of the fastboot/adb command.

    I got it. I thought it would use ADB to reboot the device into the bootloader. That's why it wasn't finding it.

    However, new issue. I have the bootloader unlocked but I'm getting this new error:

    You have bootloader unlocked but not critical partitions

    Unlock critical partitions too.

    You are now having error 20 while updating because you flashed a fastboot rom without flashing critical partitions since they were locked.

    Got it. Thank you. Never had to do that on my old Nexus or Pixel devices.

    It worked perfectly now. Thank you for all the help today!
    No problem, glad you solved your issue.

    Flash it as a system.img file 🙂
    U can install it using fastboot, or if your phone has mediatek chipset and has a stock flashable ROM + scatter file, u can also flash that GSI easily using SP flash tool.

    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
