Oneplus One Migration? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

So, my OP5 arrived this afternoon -- it's a slick beast indeed. It's replacing the old Oneplus One that I've had since not long after the company started. Google's "Tap to Sync" NFC doesn't work, and neither does the "Transfer settings" applet -- it just drops out with "Sorry, something went wrong", which is utterly unhelpful.
Any ideas? The OPO was running COS with an unlocked bootloader but not (at present) rooted. The OP5 was factory new <_<.

I got my op5 yesterday, but I'm still waiting for root to use tb.

Mine will be arriving day after tomorrow...Titanium backup seems a solution.
Going from OPO to OP5 too.

Sync everything to your Google account.

I will also go from OPO to OP5. Syncing with Google is good, but it doesn't transfer everything. My biggest headache is Line (Naver), which deletes everything on the old device as soon as the account is accessed from the new device. Line uses the Android ID to identify the device, so the only way to migrate Line 100% is to backup the Android ID and all Line data with Titanium Backup and restore that on the new device. Hence, root is a must. Its a bit of a pain, but becomes routine after a few migrations.

Doesn't sync app data so it's no good for some people (like me).

Issues with 4.4.4 with a 2nd User

So the story goes, I stopped using my stock rooted unlocked Nexus 7 3G 2012 some time ago and layed around not doing anything, so at some point I unrooted it, did the factory restore and updated it to the latest android OTA and gave it to my gf to use. Well she ended up not using it much so a few days ago I picked it up and started playing with it.
To avoid deleting any of her stuff, I just created a 2nd user for me and sync'd my personal and work google accounts to it. I noticed that a lot of my notifications lag behind my phone, if I even get them at all. I keep seeing sync errors when looking at the google accounts, which don't happen on her user. I also can't get mightytext to complete setup either.
Do you think these issues are attributed to the fact I'm using this as a 2nd user and that I'm not the 'Owner'?
I may just have to high jack the tablet completely, but I would be nice of this multi user thing would work, if that is the problem.

Banking apps failing to work on OnePlus 5

I just tried to use my banking apps for the first time on my brand new OnePlus 5. It's completely stock still, not rooted or anything. I have 2 banks and both of their banking apps fail to load. Also Android pay fails to work, tells me I need a network connection when I already have one. I confirmed my banking apps are still working on my HTC one m9 but I no longer have the s8 or s6 I use to use Android pay with. I tried searching on here and didn't see anyone else having these issues. Any ideas?
Is your bootloader perhaps unlocked?
Unless oneplus sends them out that way from the factory, no. But I haven't actually checked.
Did you give the apps the correct permissions?
I had the same issue with one of my Banking apps, fully stock with locked bootloader, and when opening the app it sent me to a website page stating that my software was modified.
My solution was to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root and use banking on my laptop :angel:
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
I guess my solution is going to be to carry my old HTC around and tether off the OnePlus when I need to check my account balance. I sure hope they fix this soon.
Have you tried Magisk hide? Every app i've tried has been spot on with that, work email, snapchat, everything really, don't use banking apps on my phone so couldn't say for sure.
I got an update last night, plus I went into app permissions and gave them every permission possible. Still no go. It says the app has encountered an unexpected problem after it tries for maybe 15 seconds to load.
Snapchat works fine. I haven't tried magisk. I wasn't going to bother rooting this phone because I like it as is.
Android Pay and my bank apps work fine on my stock, locked bootloader OP5. I'm in the US.
Seems peculiar Android Pay fails. Have you tried hard resetting?
I cleared data and uninstalled all 3 apps and I got both banking apps to work on the second try. Android pay kept telling me I needed a data connection which I already had. I realized NFC wasn't turned on so I turned that on and then it seemed to get past that part but it tells me my card isn't supported so I need to look into that with my bank.
Not sure why it didn't work the first time. It seems like I've had to reboot this phone for weird glitches a lot more than I did on my old s6. Hopefully that doesn't continue.
Update: they stopped working again. They seem to work once and then the next time you to try to log in it fails every time. Glad I still have an old HTC one m8 I can bank with. Lol. I'm not doing Android pay on a phone without a finger print sensor though.

You're stock and they're not working? Weird.
Do you have to de-authorise the banking apps to use them on another phone? My back accounts app requires that
I don't believe so. I traded the s6 on the s8 and they worked fine right away on both of those ones when I first got them. Plus I've used them interchangeably on my main phone and my backup HTC m9 quite a bit. I reinstalled them on the m9 when the OnePlus failed to work and that's how I've been getting by.
I have been having an issue with Venmo. It won't let me verify the device, this has been happening since I got the device. Now I am unlocked/rooted with Magisk hiding, and it's still not letting me verify. So strange.

Figured out my issue. I had an adblock enabled and it wouldn't let it send the code because of that. Disabled and all is well.:good::good:
I am in the UK. My OP5 is completely stock. I have Lloyds, Nationwide and Barclaycard banking apps installed and working plus Android Pay. So, it should work OK.
I am running version .8 of the OS

I believe I was on 4.5.10 before the update and now it's 4.5.11. So maybe they broke it with the .10 update? I really don't see anything else I could have done to make it not work. I've never had a problem before even on rooted phones.
OP curious what does your android pay do that it doesn't work?
Does it open or when you pay it doesn't work
I haven't tried it at a terminal yet, but I believe it's ready to work. I switched banks and my new debit card isn't compatible with Android pay even though I was lead to believe it did.
I added my one credit card and my old debit card and they seem to be ready to go now.
So my issue now is only with the banking apps, not Android pay.
My snapchat (lest safetynet) won't work at all. Tried different roms.....

Lost my Phone

Hi all,
Today Morning, I have lost my Oneplus 5. Is there any single way to track my phone ?
And also tell me the ways to erase all my personal data in the phone. I have tried to track using Google's Find My Phone. But its not useful since phone has been switched off.
Details:
Device was decrypted
Synced with gmail account
Bootloader unlocked
If phone is switched off there is no way to track it.

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, Android Device Manager is not as feature rich as compared to the other third party alternatives, and hence what you want might not be possible with Google's Find My Phone. That's precisely the reason I use Cerberus anti theft in case anything like this happens. Although in my opinion, anyone who knows how to Google can get into your phone since it is bootloader unlocked and the device is decrypted. So no matter what app you use, those two things will defeat any and every possible safeguard.

NFC Not showing up in Connected Devices menu w/Essential Phone PH-1 on Android 9 Pie

Just got the phone a few days ago, was super excited as I was tired of using my old 2013 Moto X w/a cracked screen after my iPhone 6 stopped recognizing any SIM card (no service). But I digress....
There was an Android Pie update which I downloaded since I've heard how people enjoyed the phone more with it, plus it was still fresh so I updated. Spent the past few days tweaking things here and there, downloading my usual apps. Excited to try Google Pay via NFC as I was used to Apple Pay (which seems to have more banks supporting it, my Cash App card and my credit union card both don't work on Google Pay but they do on Apple Pay).
Tried it at a Staples earlier with a back to school rush and lines down the entire wall of the store, and it wouldn't work! With the app open or not. Had to pull out my iPhone to finish the transaction (embarassing...).
Got home, tried it again on my Square NFC/chip reader, NOTHING. Read up on how the sensor is on the bottom of the device, no go. Go to Google Pay options, says "to use Google Pay, you need to turn on NFC. Click settings, NFC isn't listed in Connected devices, nor does anything but an NFC Services show up when I search "nf" in the settings app.
I'll be highly disappointed if I can't use Google Pay on this phone. I didn't get a chance to try on Android 8.1 as I updated to Pie pretty much immediately. Help please!?

Nothing.
That's the same as mine (which works). For info, I'm on 9.0 (stock original, August), rooted, with adaway and an always on vpn.
Until someone else suggests another fix, I recommend an essential website fastboot reinstall of a full image. That's what I've done every time an I don't have the issues that others report.

To have to do all of this on a brand new phone (literally got this last saturday) that I already had frustrations with due to Amazon's shipping partner is even more frustrating. Not sure how to do a reinstall. Wonder if amazon or essential would send a replacement phone.
Then return it to Amazon for a replacement! You're within the return period and the longer warranty.

Good, but I think you should have done that first

True, wasn't sure if it was an issue specific to this copy of the phone or a setting I inadvertently changed. Should be getting a replacement tomorrow so hopefully there aren't any issues - I'll still upgrade to Android 9 Pie if it doesn't have it already. I'll update the thread if so.
Same issue
Fwiw, I'm on a pixel 2 and have the exact same issue after the Pie update. Trying to use a Daydream headset and get the same NFC issues (says it is not enabled, not listed in Connected Devices but running). Hope there's a fix in the pipeline.

All apps crashing

Hello,
I have a really annoying problem with my phone(s) from oneplus.
The problem is:
at a completely random point in time, every app that i try to open, just closes immediately. every app! i can fix it through rebooting the phone but the problem occurs again after approximately 24 hours and i have to reboot again. i first bought the oneplus 6, there i noticed the problem.
I was in contact with the customer service of oneplus and they suggested me a lot of fixes which i tried (clearing cache, updating the phone, resetting the phone completely....none of that helped so i sent the phone back to amazon and i upgraded to the oneplus 6t because i thought that it might have been a hardware problem with my oneplus 6.
but thats not the case. now i have the same problem on my oneplus 6t and i dont know what to do anymore other than send this one back aswell and buy from another brand. i really love the oxygen OS and would love to stay with oneplus. I just hope that someone can help me fix this problem. Thanks,
UD
Must be something you are installing on your phones. Start fresh with a factory reset and add your apps back slowly, one by one, until you find the culprit.
I think there is something odd about your Google profile that may be the culprit, if it is not one specific app as described above.
Start with just one Google account and stock apps. If you see the problem, remove that account, reset phone, and set up with a different account to localize the problem. If it tracks to one Google account you can dig deeper to correct it.
I've seen complaints like yours that tracked to oddities with the Google account and transferred from phone to phone.
Keep the faith, it is correctable. Once you figure out where the problem us!

Did you restore anything from your previous device through Google Drive or anything? Are you fully stock? Rooted? Stable or on a Beta ROM?
If this was happening to me and I couldn't figure it out I would probably save all of my files on my PC, and completely start over with a stock ROM. It would be painful to not restore any apps with data, but in your case I might do that as well. If you want to use Titanium Backup (if it actually opens and runs) I would only restore apps you really need, and ONLY 3rd party apps you downloaded from the Play Store and go from there.
I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the device though, it's a software thing.
