I tried it with 33.0.3 and got further than before
Now it went into Topaz Recovery and said i maybe need to wipe data and factory reset.
I did that and now i got the same Problem with it only, booting into Bootloader again

Okay Issue has been solved

Steps i did:
Update with Fastboot Rom to 1.5.4
Switched from newest Platformtools to 33.0.3
Did Fastboot -w before Fastboot update

Hope this might help someone that has the same Problems

Is anyone else getting soft resets on 3.1 after pulling the phone out their pocket?

It seems to be related to the screen coming on, or maybe always on display switching from off to on, but I'm still investigating. I'm rooted with minimal magisk modules: safety net fix and systemless hosts only.

I'm on sparkos + vendor_boot recovery beta from orangefox. Could I flash Topaz 3.1 to my f3 from this recovery or is ADB mandatory?

I got fed up with the random reboots and did a full wipe and reinstall of 3.1

Now, I'm unable to sign into WiFi in the android setup - on mobile data it's unable to communicate with Google servers so I can only set up offline. Afterwards, I can use WiFi or 5G to access the internet, but from the play store it still says "Unable to communicate with Google servers"

I might try to downgrade to 3.0 and upgrade to see if it fixes it, otherwise I may need to switch to another ROM.

Edit:

Tried Stable 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 and for some reason all had issues talking with Google servers both in the setup and after offline setup.

Is anyone experiencing this? It's so weird how 2.0 worked flawlessly before and now isn't.

I swapped to project elixir and had no issues with setup or Google play. There's a few other issues with the ROM so I'm still hopeful for PA next release. Also willing to swap back if someone has any tips.

Woaahh just woaaahhh... Battery's going 9 hours during my vacation trip. So much of video and picture taking, all day 5G data, and couple of social media and youtube... So much better than Nothing OS in terms of battery life. Thanks a lot!

also in PA, is Google Photos unlimited storage available for both storage saver and Original Quality?

I've started using this build.

I don't have any bugs so far, except that the addition of Nothing's new camera application has added a bug: you can't access photos. And the photos don't appear anywhere on the phone.

I have no idea about unlimited storage on Google Photos.

I've just checked and it seems that unlimited storage is only available in Space Saver quality.
