The Android Freak, 12 Nov 2024Price is already dropped to half in my country. Sadly not in Germany ;( still 500 Euro for NP2... Which is like the price of S23Ultra...

      jindev, 08 Nov 2024I don't have NP. But it's quite simple if it'... moreapologies, wasn't clear enough :(

      I mean the app permission stuff as per reddit thread /r/NothingTech/comments/13z3ro4/help_me_fix_allow_restricted_settings/?rdt=51367

      not sure if link will make it through, the thread suggests smth like:
      ////
      Settings --> Apps -->
      Press the 3 dots in the right upper corner and press "Special access" -->

      Go down and press "Notification access" --> Enable the slider for your app --> Go back to Apps --> Find your app and press it -->
      Now you should see the 3 little dots in the right upper corner --> Press "Allow Restricted Settings"
      then Settings > Apps > Special App Access > Device and App Notifications. Choose Huawei Health and toggle allow notification access.
      ////

      basically on NP 2a we had to do quite some steps to get around a screen " for your security this setting is currently unavailable" when we tried to allow huawei health app some permissions.. Obvilously for our security only google, CIA and MI5/6 should have access to those ;)

      so question is - is that Nothing OS thing or is it pure android experience? I don't have that on Samsung A series, there all works much easier..

But it's quite simple if it's android phone, the base is AOSP (kernel, system libs, core libs etc) but nothing stops the OEMs to modify even the kernel. But what level they do is depends OneUi (samsung), MUi (xiaomi) are much deeply changed. Oneplus, Motorola are with less changes, seeing the sample NP screenshots looks like minimal changes..

            sujoybera, 06 Nov 2024This is just a skin not an osIf Linux is an OS, then all of its distribution is also a "skin" then. So, technically by your perception Android is also a skin.

              Anonymous, 06 Nov 2024Is Nothing 3 is going to ever release?🤷‍♂️

                Car pei is planning to create his own operating system! The gt7 pro is selling like hotcakes in china, as is the oneplus 13 and many more very important technology things! Why does this website that is supposed to be a technology portal not cover these news??

                  jindev, 06 Nov 2024I actually prefer that.. The base android with a clean launcher..is it really just a skin? I don't know how "naked android" looks like, but NP have quite few complicated things in settings->app permissions and stuff. Is that Android or NP OS thing, do you know by chance?
