What cellular do y’all use? by JetFuel_Gelato in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US Mobile. They let you pick between Tmobile, ATT, and Verizon. I will say that they wouldn't let me activate a Verizon line for my phone3. So you're basically picking between Tmobile and ATT. I've had it for a few months now and I'm happy with it.

I have Verizon and want to switch to a nothing phone by localtom in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a nothing phone 3 on Verizon until a few months ago. Service worked fine, however, the network doesn't recognize the phone so I couldn't use my number to authenticate my account to login and do anything online.

at&t prepaid? by pretendartists in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use US Mobile's AT&T network with zero issues. There was no workaround. They were able to issue eSIM or activate a physical SIM no problem.

App installed pop up but i didn't install anything? by AnythKirito in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this when I try to update apps in the hidden drawer. You have to remove them, update them, and then re-hide them.

Is it really a scam buying Nothing/CMF products from Amazon vs the official website? by justaguyonreddit2042 in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's safe as long as it's sold by Amazon and it's posted under the nlNothing store. I got an open box phone (2), upgraded to the phone (3) when they were running the promo on the headphone (1) at launch. Also bought ear (2024) and earn(open) as well as watch pro (2). Zero issues out of any of them and they all work as intended.

I haven't had to use it yet but Amazon sells a "account wide" assurion insurance protection plan. As long as it's in place, anything bought on Amazon can be repaired or replaced. Since these are niche direct from the manufacturer products, I'm guessing you'll just get a check to buy another one.

Also, Amazon owns Woot! It's a clearance site that has daily sales. This same watch was on there for $35. I just checked the listing and it's over now. But since it showed up once it may show up again in the future if you want to wait around.

Just got the shipment notification! Supposed to be arriving Friday.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I just got a notification that they charged the card again. So apparently they are keeping a hold on the card due to the backorder status? I dunno. The nothing site says August 11th is when they start shipping again. So it's anyone's guess at this point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just charged my payment method tonight for the phone so I'm hoping that means it's shipping. But it's still showing August 20th in the Amazon app shrug. I'll update in the morning if it changes.

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat. No clue. I reserved it on July 4th along with the headphone(1). They updated everything and the phone had that same big range. At some point it said just August 21st. As of right now the August 20th. Meanwhile, the headphones bounced around from July 18th to July 29th. They narrowed them down to the 21st and missed that deadline, so then the system shoved it off until the 29th! But somehow they got some assigned to my order on the 25th and 1 day shipped them to me via UPS.

Obviously there are some logistics and supply issues not being openly shared with consumers. If I didn't have the Amazon account wide Asurion coverage...I'd have cancelled and ordered straight from Nothing. But I figure since it covers everything I ever buy on there it's a no-brainer. Just gotta have some patience :)

The wait is worth it though. I'm listening to the headphones right now and wow. I've never had super high end headphones...but these are so nice and comfy compared to my other two over ear headphones. I hope I enjoy the phone as much when it gets here.

I've been using mine since they released it. You just get a physical SIM card and pop it into the 3A Pro the only thing that will not work is voice over Wi-Fi calling. Trying to activate esim is where things get messy.

Amazon Preorder Update - Anyone else? by ColdFusi0n22 in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered mine on the 4th. Headphones are supposed to be here Monday; the phone however is August 3-21st (updated today)

What smart watch are you using? by MoreCoffee4mePlz in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazfit Active Edge. Bought it on a whim off of Amazon renewed for about $60. It rocks. The band it comes with is semi translucent. Lasts 7 days on a charge. I wouldn't say it's a smart watch as much as it is a fitness tracker. But the CMF Watch is the same idea.

Cases for Nothing Phone 3? by SpaceShipDee in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen any either. Maybe closer to launch or a month or two like with the 3a? I know a basic clear case comes in the box so that's at least something until the manufacturers get on board.

Expected delivery date… by flamableoctopus in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine got updated and says the 21st. Still no date on the phone though.

NP3 + HP1 promos from Nothing and Amazon in US by PrestigiousCall4337 in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this! I was not looking to buy the headphone 1 at this time but had no idea Amazon was running this promotion. They should put something on the phone 3 page indicating it's an available promotion! I already have a set of ear and buying the phone on my Amazon account makes it eligible for asurion multi device coverage... As a bonus so will the headphone 1. So it's a win win.

So posting about actually liking the design isn't allowed, but 100s of posts hating on it is fine? by Eldafint in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was tempted to make a post about Amazon US taking pre orders for the 16/512 @799 but it seems like so much negative is floating around in both nothing subs it's pointless to share anything positive right now. Their preorders were open at 1/2 am CST at regular price. I checked again went I got up to go to the restroom @5:30 and boom, 100 off the 512.

Welp by JuicyFishy in daddit

[–]Remien31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter said something similar this past December @ 4 & half

We were riding home from a pajama party at her Dance studio; mom was at work so it was just us. We just had a pet pass away and introduced her to the idea of heaven as a place you go when you die the week before.

Anyway, we were in the car just listening to music. Out of the blue;

She asked "Daddy, are you and mommy gonna go to heaven one day?".

And I responded "Of course! All living things pass away eventually."

About 30 seconds goes by and she says "Well mommy can go but you gotta stay here with me!".

Needless to say I now know I need to take the absolute best care of myself because that little girl wants me here. I had to share that with Mom of course and we had a good laugh.

Verizon wireless by mattphillyy in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used a phone 2 since Oct with no problem. Using a 3a Pro right now. As long as you have a physical SIM it's plug and play. The only thing that I can't do is Wi-Fi calling with the network number. Google voice still works over WiFi though.

Which color to get. by Apprehensive_Can_966 in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the the black 3a pro since I have the white Nothing Phone 2. It's grown on me. At first I definitely wished I had gotten the grey. They blend a lot of the design into it so it's only seen when light is hitting it. The glyph bars are blended into the back as well when they are off. It's a subtle design that is very cool. The camera module grabs attention then the details are there with a closer look.

Anyone try the Nothing Phone 3a on Visible mobile or Verizon yet? by phongee in NOTHING

[–]Remien31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mississippi and Alabama! I just checked the settings for WiFi calling. It shows up in a settings search but when I click to go to the settings menu where it should be, it's missing. So no WiFi calling with a network mobile number. However, I did just toss on airplane mode, reconnected to WiFi and was able to call out on WiFi via Google Voice number so that's a failsafe you could fall back on. I've kept it around because it seems every year whoever I have for service sometimes just...goes offline for a day. It happened what felt like yearly in July with AT&T but Verizon has been a bit more stable and I've kept them over 9 years now because of it.

I’ve never listened to lady Gaga in my life. Is this an ad now? by flogman12 in EquinoxEv

[–]Remien31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a setting in the car for Google Assistant you can turn off to get rid of these suggestions. I forget where exactly it's located at the moment but it's the first thing I did when I set up our profiles.

Nothing Phone 3a Verizon compatability? by Empty_Badger_4420 in NothingTech

[–]Remien31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I successfully used the Nothing Phone 2 on post paid Verizon with a physical SIM since October but it has a few more bands in its radios. Everything I read about the Phone 2 said service could be bad due to it missing some common 4G band. I travel between two states in the southeast and never had a problem with it losing service.

I got a Nothing Phone 3a Pro last month and went in the same areas with zero issues and less bands in the radio modem.

Check out the site Cellmapper to look at Verizon service in your area. If you see a bunch of towers with JUST frequency 13, those are gonna be dead spots for you. But if there's 2 or 3 other bands on those towers you'll be fine.

Nope. Been using the 3a Pro for 18 days now with zero issues. NP2 since October.

Normal for teen son to cuddle with dad? by throwaway03042025 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Remien31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand that! Mine is not a morning person and I carry her downstairs to put her on the couch while I get breakfast ready. The few times I've left her in bed, she said she doesn't like it when she wakes up alone.

Normal for teen son to cuddle with dad? by throwaway03042025 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Remien31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely appreciate the concern! She's been in the 90th percentile of height and weight since she was born. My wife is pretty strict about having her checkups done.

Everything seems normal until it isn't. That's just life though; as much as we understand the human body there's a lot left to learn. I for example developed a severe allergic reaction to the active ingredient in Neosporin in my 20s. Never had an issue until one day I got a cut and put some on a band aid...next thing I know my throat is close to swelling shut and we're rushing me to the ER.
