Nothing Phone Users Can Now Customize Glyph Alerts with This New App
Nothing Phone users now have an exciting new way to customize their experience with the Nothing Glyph App. This app allows users to personalize Glyph notifications for different apps, enhancing the functionality of the unique LED lights on the back of Nothing Phones.
A Community-Made Innovation
The Nothing community has always been creative, and this new app is proof of that. A dedicated user has developed the Nothing Glyph Notification app, which was recently mentioned in a tweet by Rob Godwin, a team member of the Nothing team. The app is currently in closed beta, but early testers have shared positive feedback.
How Does It Work?
The Nothing Glyph App lets users assign specific Glyph light patterns to different notifications. For example, users can set a unique light animation for messages from their favorite apps, such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and BGMI (PUBG Mobile). Whenever a notification arrives, the assigned Glyph light will activate, making it easy to identify important alerts even when the phone is placed face down.
I tried this app on the Nothing Phone (2), and it worked perfectly without any issues.
Key Features:
- Assign custom Glyph light patterns for specific apps.
- Keeps notifications visible even when the phone is locked.
- Bedtime mode allows users to schedule when Glyph lights should turn off.
Limitations and Future Updates
While the app offers great customization, some users have pointed out that lights stay on until notifications are checked. A future update could include a blinking option or more customization settings. Additionally, support for more Nothing Phone models is expected in upcoming versions.
How to Try the Nothing Glyph App
Currently, the app is available as a beta version in the Nothing Community. If you’re interested in trying it out, stay tuned for an official release or check the community forums for updates.
This new Nothing Glyph App is a great way for users to make the most of their Nothing Phone’s Glyph interface. Let us know in the comments—would you use this app?
Nothing has released a new update (v1.0.12) for its Essential Space app, bringing two exciting sharing features to select Nothing phones. The update is currently available via the Play Store for Nothing Phone 3A, 3A Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
What’s New in the Update?
The update (around 94MB in size) focuses mainly on improving sharing options within the app:
- Audio Recording Sharing Enabled
Users can now record audio using the “Flip to Record” feature and directly share those recordings with others. Previously, Essential Space only supported sharing images, PDFs, and Markdown files. The new update now supports audio file sharing in AAC format. - Image Capture with Smart Text Summary
Users can capture images using the Essential key in the camera app, and the app uses AI to summarize what’s in the image. For example, if a photo includes a Nothing phone and white earbuds, the app automatically generates a description. This summarized image can then be shared along with the AI-generated text.
UI & Functionality
While the user interface hasn’t seen major changes, the new features add a practical edge to the app. The shared content even includes Nothing branding and a “Your Second Memory” tag, enhancing the brand’s unique style.
Supported Devices
These features are currently live on:
- Nothing Phone 3A
- Nothing Phone 3A Pro
- CMF Phone 2 Pro
- Nothing Phone 3
Make sure your Essential Space app is updated to version 1.0.12 to access these features.
The popular third-party dialer app N Dial, inspired by the clean design of Nothing OS, has received a major update called the Nimbus Update. This update brings a completely new user interface, smoother animations, and several practical improvements that enhance the overall calling experience on Android smartphones.
One of the biggest highlights of the update is the redesigned interface for Recents, Dialpad, Contacts, Favorites, and Contact Cards. Everything now looks more modern and minimal, matching the style seen on Nothing Phones. A new light theme called Nimbus has also been added, giving users a clean and bright look. Additionally, the navigation bar has been improved for better usability.
The app now includes haptic feedback when scrolling through contacts or using the dialpad, giving a more responsive feel. Users can also view and delete individual call entries for each contact, making call history management more flexible. Contact photos are now supported, and a new Albums View has been added in the Favorites section, alongside the classic grid layout.
To improve performance, N Dial now allows users to set a limit on call logs. Incoming calls no longer appear as pop-ups but are shown in the notification panel, providing a less distracting experience. The update also introduces features like quick notes during ongoing calls and external links for additional functionality.
In terms of technical improvements, the app’s animations are smoother, and overall performance has been boosted. Important bugs have been fixed, including issues with the proximity sensor and Bluetooth connections with smartwatches. The quality of contact images has also been enhanced.
N Dial is available for all Android smartphones, not just Nothing devices. It aims to provide a smooth, beautiful, and easy-to-use calling experience. Users can download the updated version from the Google Play Store, making sure the version name includes “Nimbus.”
Overall, the Nimbus Update brings major upgrades to N Dial, both in looks and performance. If you’re looking for a dialer that feels modern, simple, and closer to the Nothing Phone experience, this is a great option to try.
The Nothing Phone (3) was launched about a month ago with a starting price of around Rs 80,000. But recently, people have noticed listings on Amazon showing the phone for as low as Rs 56,500. This huge price drop of almost Rs 24,000 is raising questions—is this offer real or a scam?
Currently, Nothing has not officially announced any price drop. However, they are running bank offers on Flipkart, which can reduce the price by up to Rs 10,000. Even with these offers, the phone still sells for around Rs 70,000.
So, where did this Rs 56,500 price come from?
When you search for the Nothing Phone (3) on Amazon, you will see some listings showing the 12GB + 256GB variant at Rs 56,500. But if you look closely, these phones are not sold directly by Amazon or by Nothing, but by third-party sellers like “BeautyVerse” and “Jai Ram Wholesale”.
Although Amazon will ship the product, the sellers are unknown and could be selling used, open-box, or even fake units. In fact, Nothing does not sell any of its products officially on Amazon India. Their official partners are Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, and select offline stores.
If you’re planning to buy the Nothing Phone (3), it’s better to wait for the Big Billion Days sale, where you might get an official price drop. Right now, you can get the phone for about Rs 70,000 with card discounts, or even lower if you exchange your old phone. For example, if you exchange a Nothing Phone (2) in flawless condition, you could get the Phone (3) for as low as Rs 45,000.
Final Advice:
Do not trust listings on Amazon for Nothing phones. These are not official and may be risky. Always buy from trusted and official sellers to avoid scams or fake products.
