Some have found that when the “Lock Glimpse” app is fully removed from the device, Nothing OS tries to restart it every 3 seconds, leading to unnecessary battery drain. The reason some users want to remove the app is, as a detailed Reddit post on the matter proves, it sends data requests to that sketchy clickbait farm within every 24 hours, even if the feature is fully turned off.
Ridiculous.
I’ve always been skeptical of Nothing, but I didn’t think they’d step into basically malware territory.
This is behavior I’d expect from a cheap AD supported Amazon Fire Tablet, not a proper OEM.Weird, i thought Norhing was one of the few “freely unlockable bootloader” companies, which seems disharmonious with this (and lock screen ads to begin with). I wonder where i picked that info up…
I came to the comments to find the good puns but I found Nothing.
Very glad I didn’t buy a Nothing phone when I was considering it.
Looks like you puts on sunglasses regret Nothing.
Mine has LineageOS anyway
This is the reason to buy such phones.
Battery life by just switching to Lineage is easily 20% better.
My 2a was the best phone I’ve owned but this will prevent me from purhasing another
Nothing to worry about.
Somebody decided to scrutinize nothing that’s the reason we know.I bet its similar on other phones when you debloat their ROMs.
We need more such information for other phones too so we know better.
Nothing has positioned itself as a consumer friendly brand, so the scrutiny is justified. Nothing is nothing special.
Didn’t say it wasn’t. Just said others should be scrutinized too. Not everyone buys a nothing phone.
On Poco X7 Pro debloating improved the battery. I didn’t remove the wallpaper app though.
If these ever make it down to my Phone2 which I still enjoy, Lineage OS is going on there straight away.
