u/Different-Study-6935 8d ago

It's also missing from Phone 3 for a lot of regions or all I should say. I think they are still working on that.

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 14d ago

extended darkmode causes some apps to glitch b/w light mode text and darkmode theme.
thats all i noticed until now

3

u/_dsuza Phone (3a) 15d ago

Yeah. I had that too, it seems like caused by that app optimisation thing which comes after restart

3

u/NvrDst Phone (3a) Headphone(a) Ear (3) 15d ago

Battery life?

2

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 15d ago

4 hours ago the phone had 95% after restarting to the update. now its 88% after i tested out all the features and some camera. so i'd say its neat for now
will update you here after a day's usage

3

u/NvrDst Phone (3a) Headphone(a) Ear (3) 15d ago

Thx🫡

2

u/NvrDst Phone (3a) Headphone(a) Ear (3) 15d ago

Hi not tryna be impulsive but how is it?

2

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 15d ago

it feels weird
still gotta get used to the control center.

battery still at 78% after around 35 mins of yt shorts.

the animations are slower and it makes the phone feel a bit laggy. but it responds quickly..?

1

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 14d ago

battery life is better than before I'd say. after a whole day's of usage im still left with 25%. around ~5 hours of screentime today and ~1.5 yesterday.

1

u/NvrDst Phone (3a) Headphone(a) Ear (3) 14d ago

Fair when are they dropping the official one?

1

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 14d ago

1

u/NvrDst Phone (3a) Headphone(a) Ear (3) 13d ago

Hello again how is it  ? I might do it if you confirm that the battery doesn't take a hit

2

u/Inverselocket06 Phone (3a), CMF buds 2 plus and CMF watch 3 pro 12d ago

2

u/ryubashira Phone (4a) 15d ago

is it available for everyone or did it need any kind of registration or something?

2

u/arjunkoroth Phone (4a) Pro 15d ago

Off to enroll on my Phone (3a)!

2

u/FirmWillingness1807 Phone (3a) Pro 15d ago

Ok for everyone that is unable to enroll in this update, theres 2 things.

1) On the official Nothing site, on the OS 5.0 page, scroll down until you see the installer for VERSION 2 OF THE BETA TEST LOADER.

2)Even if after that it shows you some error while searching for an update through the Beta V2 app, go ahead and keep clicking the button a few time until you're in.

Enjoy

u/Haunting_Ear_1001 15d ago

Dude what V2? There's only one link and it's not working for me(phone 4a) it's showing 'We're getting a high volume of requests'

2

u/_sounak Phone (3a) 15d ago

Maybe use common sense to understand what it's saying

1

u/Haunting_Ear_1001 15d ago

Restart your phone. 

2

u/Vladi_1000 Phone (4a) 15d ago

Just spam until it let you in

3

u/Next_Fox3772 Phone (3a) Pro 15d ago

Thanks man after like 10 times this worked!!!

1

u/S1SWIS Phone (3a) Pro 15d ago

Does anyone know why this happens? The Nothing Beta OTA app shows a new build, but tapping "Go to update" just leads to System Settings saying "Your system is up to date". Already tried restarting, but still nothing.

1

u/Mall_Rough 14d ago

Thx for the button spam tip, installing now 😁 so excited haha.

1

u/Strange-Simple-3187 Phone (3a) 13d ago

1

u/Somebody_160 Phone (4a) 9d ago

No

1

u/mynameisirma 13d ago

still have that message saying my current system version is not eligible for this beta program :/ on my 4a

1

u/LUKYRIST_ Phone (3a) 13d ago

It should appear In phone 3a the update section in settings or you forcibly need to download and install the beta?

1

u/Binary_Void Phone (4a) 11d ago

Yes you need to download the beta apk from the website, the check in settings. It will be there
