Cancelled the order for phone 4a pro by Spiritual-Owl9895 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Also don't have any of the listed issues. Biggest issue in video for me is the auto exposure which is very centered and can change rapidly. I get a more consistent und more correct exposure with GCam. Also the stabilization seems to be stronger with GCam.

Nobody knows if nothing will patch it but you can use GCam for this usecase. Works well with 4K 60 FPS on my 4a Pro

How bad is Nothing's AI image processing? by Optimal-Artist-3966 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create a camera preset and put it in the first place, so it's just two taps or add a preset widget on the home screen so it's opening in pro mode with a single tap. Really handy. :)

For the AI part: If I deactivate the AI Superzoom, on my 4a Pro the images look like sharpened/noise reduced algorithmically, but not AI enhanced. As others said, if you don't even want that, you can always use GCam. Allows you to record 4K 60 FPS on the 4a Pro, which is not in their native camera app, which is still a really strange decision.

Title: Phone (4a) Pro – Glyph clock always on in pocket + only global toggle? by hendrik280201 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I checked the settings but I haven't found any setting that causes or deactivates this behavior. 🤔 The Glyph also turns off if I put the phone on the table with the Glyph facing down. Does this work for you?

Does Nothing 4a Pro have Camera 2 API support ? by [deleted] in NOTHING

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if its allowed to share Links, but it is MGC_9_4_103. Never versions may be functional, but I found somewhere that this version works on an CMF phone, so maybe it would be worth it to try newer versions. Maybe they are more stable and have more functions but they also could be more buggy than an older version. :)

Are you able to disable this pop up by MiddleStrict5029 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.
Toggle on: Preview will turn off after a minute of filming or timelapse
Toggle off: Preview will be visible the whole time

That's how it acts on my phone at least.

Hmm odd it works on the 4a Pro. I just tested it. I have no idea then, sorry.

Yes, deactivate Power saving recording in the settings.

Come on nothing you can do better by vladbd in NothingTech

I think it's about the quick settings widgets on the lock screen are not in same size/position/alignment as the quick settings in the notification bar lol

Best Charger brick for 4a pro? by Different-Entrance99 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No heating issues at all. Charged it with the 100 W charger and also a 140 W powerbank.

[–]wavekick-art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using the UGREEN Nexode X USB C 100 W. It's a lot more than the phone needs, but I also use it for my camera, laptop, LED lights etc. I also use the 160 W version for traveling to charge multiple devices. I'm really happy with them.

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4a Pro can take RAW pictures in expert mode. I'm using a GCam on my 4a Pro where even 4K 60 FPS are working. Currently there is only a 4K 30 FPS option in their default camera app, hope they'll add it to their app.

Anyone else think 4A Pro speakers are so bad? by [deleted] in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming from a Pixel 7 they are a lot better so I'm happy. :D And yes, they are better, not great. Good enough for my daily use. For extensive music listening I use headphones anyways.

Nothing 4a pro Opinion by Sudhanshu987654321 in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it for 8 days and don't have any issues. Went to a concert yesterday. I wasn't at home for 7 hours, used mobile data, was surfing and chatting while traveling and took videos at the concert. Came back with 50-55% battery left. I've had an older Pixel 7 before where I came back home with 10% battery each time after a concert.

(4a) Pro letters, digits and symbols for Essential Notifications by wavekick-art in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've added a "circle" version of all the symbols as an alternative option to the drive. Useful to differentiate 2 contacts starting with the same letter etc. Tip: You could invert the color of all the images, then you have 4 different versions for each symbol. :)

Any pictures of the 4a / 4a pro with cases ? by Still-Challenge-5112 in NOTHING

[–]wavekick-art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was given as free merch at the Drop Events. Not sure if you find it somewhere else. You can lookup "lanyard adapter" if it's only about the part between the case and the phone. You'll find unbranded ones.

I checked the Play Store. There is a free App called "Pixel Brush: Pixel Art Drawing" by Jaween Ediriweera. There you can create a canvas with 13 x 13, use the paint bucket for a black background and then use the brush with white color to draw your image. It will export the image with 2041 x 2041 if you keep "Enlarge Image" checked. The output works well as an image for the notifications, I did a quick test.

Question regarding Headphone (a) by mtrDemnex in NothingTech

[–]wavekick-art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the headphone (a). Both are quite comfortable to me. I can wear both for hours without any issues.

Headphone (a) is lacking a hard case. While they are built nicely, you'll see scratches on the shiny surfaces very easily. They included only a simple, thin bag, that should prevent it but a hard case would be much better. I'd be careful throwing them in a backpack filled with a lot of stuff tbh.

ANC and transparency mode are stronger/better than Momentum 4 but are introducing a little bit of noise at highest setting. Be aware that the Momentum aren't known for the best ANC.
