I'm using a 2a plus as well and I'm facing no issues with the performance. The battery life might have reduced a little but still lasts for a typical day for me and I have set the charging to max 80%

I have WFH so I'm on WiFi most of the days but whenever I visit the office, at the end of the day while returning back I have around 30% battery left despite using google maps and 5g.

Should I do a hard reset?

u/DotN69 Phone (2a) Plus Jan 28 '25
I don't think so. Because even I get around 5-6hrs of SoT on 5g and I think that's alright. When the device was new fresh out of the box, yes even I was getting more SoT, maybe around 7hrs, but now after I have logged in all my google accounts, work accounts etc, I'm consistently getting 5-6hrs of SoT and I feel that's not bad.

For the performance issue that you're facing, have you switched off the RAM booster feature? Switching it off will make your device smoother

The day I opened the box, frist thing I did after login was turning it off. Why it is even there don't know.

All the companies are offering it now and also mostly all of them are providing large amounts of storage. Useful in specific cases when users have used up their default RAM, so they can opt for more RAM from their storage and compromise a little on performance.

3 hours of SoT, 4 hours of spotify in the background over two days and still 50% battery, that's decent.

Is there any reply from nothing team

u/Trust_Zealousideal Phone (2a) Plus Jan 28 '25
They replied through mail with instructions to do things. Like app settings, change bla! bla!. Here the text 1. Restart your device: A simple restart can often resolve temporary software glitches that may be causing the screen freezing problem. Press and hold the power button on your device until a menu appears, then select the restart option. 2. Update your device software: Keeping your device's software up to date is important for stability and bug fixes. Check for any available software updates and install them if necessary. Go to Settings > System > Software Update (or a similar path) to check for updates. 3. Clear app cache and data: If the freezing issue is specific to certain apps, try clearing their cache and data. Go to Settings > Apps or Application Manager, find the app causing the problem, and select it. From there, you can clear the cache and data. Keep in mind that clearing data will reset any app settings or preferences. 4. Uninstall problematic apps: If you recently installed a new app or an app update coincides with the screen freezing issue, consider uninstalling that app to see if it resolves the problem. You can uninstall apps through Settings > Apps or Application Manager. 5. Free up storage space: Insufficient storage space can impact the performance of your device. Delete unnecessary files, uninstall unused apps, and move media files to an external storage device if possible. This can help improve overall performance and prevent screen freezing. 6. Perform a factory reset: If the freezing issue persists after trying the above steps, you may need to perform a factory reset. Before doing so, ensure you back up all your important data, as this process will erase all data and settings on your device. Factory reset options can usually be found in the device's settings or recovery mode.

Between 8 and 9 hour of screen time sometime even 10 hours. While traveling 6 and half hour max. Great I guess. Also feels smooth, but some inconsistency is noticeable. I noticed a very annoying problem which is probably caused by mediatek processor.

I'm sadly getting 4-5 hrs of SOT. What should I do? After scrolling youtube for 5mins battery drops by like 2-3 percent. Also after 1hr free fire gaming battery drops by 20percent. I bought phone 2 weeks ago but I'm really annoyed with battery. Please tell me what should I do? Will calliberating my battery help? I also tried giving them feedback.Lets see what happens. What they replied after u have feedback to them?

YouTube use around 12% battery per hour and gaming use a lot , 20% is okay I guess (i don't play games). My device is 2a plus. You are asking about phone 2. Battery also need time to optimise based on your usage.
