Slow startup for Nothing Ear (2024)

[zezic]

The app mostly works for my Nothing Ear (2024), but it is taking about few minutes to show the UI. The log acts like that:

$ nothing-linux 
Connecting to Ear at 2C:BE:EB:78:A4:5C

[WAITING FOR FEW MINUTES]
[SHOWS UI]

set_low_lag_mode_on: Ok(())
set_low_lag_mode_false: Ok(())
set_in_ear_detection_on: Ok(())
set_in_ear_detection_off: Ok(())

I'm not sure how do I check the "Low Lag Mode" switch, but Noise Control and In-Ear Detection are working fine.

If you have any suggestions on debug, I can write and run simple tests on my machine using your beautiful nothing crate to figure out why it takes so long to connect. And thank you for this nice tool!

If the device supports dual devices check that, if you enable it on the desktop it shows enabled on the phone too.

I made a new release, it should be faster, try rpm/deb packages too, rn appimage has bug issues in Tauri itself.

Thank you! I created a PR #3 to fix this slow startup problem, it was related to the protocol difference (I think?).

Btw, it seems that the new release you just published (*.deb one) is requiring newer version of GLIBC and it gives me this message on my ancient Ubuntu 22.04 system:

$ nothing-linux 
nothing-linux: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found (required by nothing-linux)
