A few users say it started after using the Essential Recorder feature, while others noticed it appearing without warning during calls or at a specific time of day. Restarting the phone clears it, but only temporarily.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Lm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some commenters have found partial workarounds. Pressing the Essential Recorder toggle in Quick Settings to start and stop a recording can cause the light to reset for some people. Others suggest clearing the Essential Recorder\u2019s cache and data, or toggling off \u201cGlyph progress\u201d for Google Calendar. Still, for many, a restart remains the only sure fix.<\/p>\n<p>One user who contacted Nothing India Support shared a reply confirming the issue. The company called it a known issue affecting the Phone 3a Pro and said its team is \u201cactively working on resolving it at the earliest through an upcoming software update.\u201d Until then, the support team recommends visiting a service center, where technicians may apply a temporary solution if available.<\/p>\n<p>We were impressed by Nothing\u2019s new Essential Space feature in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/nothing-phone-3a-pro-review-3539559\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">our review<\/a>, which makes this glitch particularly annoying if you\u2019ve grown to rely on it. Nothing hasn\u2019t publicly commented on the Glyph light issue yet, though affected users can submit feedback directly through Settings &gt; System &gt; Feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
