As a long time Apple user, I've always been an Apple Watch guy (most recently the Ultra 2). I recently switched to Android for the first time and picked up the OnePlus Watch 4. Since then I've been trying to spend less time on my phone, and I feel like having a full-feature smart watch is working against me.

So, I'm looking for a watch that give some basic functionality (tracking steps, showing weather, sleep, maybe limited notification alterts). Bonus points if it looks more like a traditional watch rather than the big screen watches I'm used to.

I recently found and ordered the Ollee Watch, but feels like I may want something kind of in between. Any suggestions?

I'm a life long iOS user who recently switched to Android for the first time. I have the Nothing Phone (3) and decided to install an icon pack to switch up the look of Nothing OS a bit.

​

For some reason, I have some apps that aren't showing the new icon even though the icon exists within the pack. On the homescreen I just get the standard icon, which really throws off the vibe. When I open the app the correct icon from the packs shows as it opens, but not on the home screen.

​

I created shortcuts for a few of the apps and picked the proper icon, but that's an annoying workaround (and I lose the quick actions).

​

Is there a way to fix this?

I'm sure this post won't have any impact, but I just want the world to know that I would do some questionable things to make an Alumu and Nothing collab happen.

I recently switched to the Nothing Phone 3 after 17 years of iPhone use, with my last few phones rocking various case and accessory options from Aulumu. I'm loving my Nothing phone, but the case offerings are few and far between. As a case nerd, this has left a whole in my heart.

As I was thinking through the 30+ cases I have for my 17PM, Aulumu stuck out as a brand that would pair perfectly with what Nothing is doing from a design perspective.

So if anyone from Aulumu is listening, just know that I miss you. The Nothing community is hungry for more case options, and you guys would be the perfect fit. My first born is 4, so it's probably too late to offer him up, but everything else is on the table. My DMs and wallet are open.

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for a minimalist leather wallet that will hold a few cards (3-4) along with a handful of US bills. Bills always seem to be the sticking point with more minimalist wallets, requiring you to fold a few times for them to fit. Not a big deal, but folding one would be ideal.

I've general stuff with black wallets in the past, but I'm looking for something with a little more character that will show some patina over time.

I've got a couple of wallets from Open Sea Leather and The Lost Dutchman, which are all great, just wanting to see what else is out there. Would love to find something from a small brand or independent maker that I know will last for years to come and offer a unique take.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be great. I've enjoyed scrolling this sub for the last week or so, and I look forward to seeing what you guys can recommend.

After 15+ years of iPhone use, I'm about a month into Android with my Nothing Phone (3). I feel like I always need to add that preface to excuse my ignorance and the silly question that's about to follow.

Why is it that in the Play Store, I get apps ready to update but the release happened weeks prior? I was on the Play Store yesterday and had a few apps that needed updated- cool. Then I just again today and I had a bunch that popped up, some of which showed released in April. Why wouldn't those have shown up yesterday?

Not a huge deal, I don't need to latest version as soon as it drops, just seems weird.

I recently got my first Android after over 15 years of iPhone use. I've genuinely enjoyed things since making the switch... Other than Android Auto.

Part of my frustration is probably because my car (Mazda CX-50) used a knob to control the infotainment system. So you spin the knob to move from selection to selection. It has touch screen too, but the screen sets back so far that it's not ideal or meant to be used exclusively. The simple layout of CarPlay made things easy enough, but the constant split screen on AA has been super annoying.

The other headache has been the media source constantly switching when I change th volume. It'll go from YouTube audio to whatever I was listening to on Apple Music for no reason, other than I turned it up. I did find DashRelay which has helped, but it still happens enough to be annoying.

Those are my 2 main gripes. Are there any tweaks or apps or tricks out there to make me hate using it less? Much appreciated!

I was attempting to transfer my eSIM from one device to another, something timed out and now I have no service on either device. When I try the "Get a new eSIM" under the "Manager Your SIM" page, it gives me an error and says that I'm locked out for 24 hours... obviously not ideal. I originally tried the transfer from Android to Android, but that failed as well and said I needed to contact ATT.

When I got a new phone a few weeks ago, after going back and forth with customer service, I eventually found my eSIM QR code online somewhere. Now I can't seem to access it or find the right spot. Customer service says they have to mail me the QR code, which also isn't ideal.

Am I missing something? Am I crazy?

I'll preface this by saying I've just recently switched to Android after using nothing but iPhone's since 2009. I've never owned a smartphone that wasn't an iPhone up until making the switch 2 weeks ago- so I've got lots to figure out.

One thing that has been super annoying is the way that Messages handles notifications and quick replys. On iOS, replying to a message marks that message as read and clears the notification- which makes sense because if I replied/interacted with the message then I clearly read it. But on NothingOS, and from what I can tell Android as a whole, it just ADDS my reply to the notification.

Is there a fix for this? I've searched Reddit and elsewhere without a good answer, but it just seems like such a obvious thing that there has to be a solution out there. I've looked into things like Macroid and Buzzkill, which I'm using for other things, and can't find a way to trigger what I'm looking for. I've even went down the rabbit hole with ChatGPT and Gemini, both of which acted like there was a fix, only to come up empty handed.

Not the end of the world, just a small annoyance that has made the switch slightly more frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'll preface by saying I'm brand new to Nothing, and Android as a whole. I've used exclusively iPhone since the iPhone 3G, so I'm stumbling through the change. I've had my Nothing Phone 3 for a week, and loving it so far!

I picked up a pair of Nothing Ears to pair with the new phone, switching from Airpod Pro 3. I love the design, they sound good, really liking them.

The one thing I miss is having my notifications, especially texts, read to me when they come through when I'm wearing my earbuds. I also have a pair of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and there is a feature within the Galaxy app to toggle that feature one. Does Nothing offer the same? I'm not seeing it in the Nothing X app.

With Apple everything is so integrated (to a fault) that it's all just plug and play. While I love the new found freedom that comes with stepping out of that echo system, I just need some help navigating haha.

Thanks in advance!
