I recently moved to the 6T from a 3XL because of several hardware issues with that device. So far this device has been a beast. After spending about a week with it, I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can answer for me!
1. I noticed the lock screen reverts night light if enabled, so the fingerprint scanner can work efficiently. Just wondering if there is any way night light can remain on during the lock screen/fingerprint scan? Or is this impossible because will it impact success rate of fingerprint unlocks?
2. Because of the lack of fingerprint scanner on custom ROMs, I've decided to stay on OOS. This is a long shot but is there any way Substratum overlays can be shown without having to reboot? It's a bit of a hassle to build and update overlays, reboot, apply them, and reboot for full changes to take effect.
3. I don't know if this one is by design, but I noticed my display will wake during calls - if the lift to wake display option is enabled. Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix (other than disabling lift to wake)?
4. My notification bar is tough to pull down while I'm in a call. The only way to get it down is if I drag my finger almost all the way down the screen. Is this also by design?
5. Another call-related issue - sometimes people will tell me they can hear their own voice during a call. Has anyone else experienced this?
6. I'm in Canada with Fido, and OnePlus ensured me VoLTE and VoWiFi will both be an option for me since the device is "globally unified". I'm not seeing any VoLTE icon during calls. I've tried the dialer key combo and enabling VoLTE there, as well as the VoEnabler Magisk Module. Neither of those seem to result in a VoLTE icon. Could anyone confirm if it's just not possible with Fido in Canada, or maybe another solution is out there?
7. This one seems a bit more widespread - some apps using the wrong mic during audio/video records. I've only experienced this in making a video in WhatsApp so far, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix? Or do we just need to wait for OnePlus to come out with an update? Or, do the apps themselves need to be updated to better work with the 6T?
I apologize for so many questions, but if any of you could even answer some, if not all of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it! And I also apologize if some of these questions have already been addressed in previous threads.
Interesting post... Will subscribe because I have experienced some of the issues mentioned. I am also on my first week of use.

1. I'm pretty sure this is by design and it's supposed to be that way. When there were early builds of Havoc for the 6T, some users got FP to work on an all white background with the brightness all the way up. So I'm assuming it's so it can read your fingerprint.
2. Sadly, not that I know of. Swift Installer is the same way. Apply overlays, reboot, reboot again to finish themeing.
3. Due to the notch being a teardrop design, there's little space to pack every sensor into the notch. Happens to me all the time when on a call. I'm pretty sure it's because of the proximity sensor. Once you move the phone from your face just a tad, the screen kicks on. No fix that I know of, yet.
4. Again, proximity sensor I'm assuming. Haven't really tested this too extensively mainly because if I have to use my phone for anything while in a call, I'll put it on speakerphone and use it.
5. I haven't heard anything from the other person. However, I do sometimes hear myself like an echo when talking to someone.
6. I have the T-Mobile variant of the device and immediately switched to International firmware as soon as I got the device, can't remember if it showed those icons or not when I was running the T-Mobile branded software, I do have VoLTE and VoWiFi icons on International firmware.
7. Haven't had this issue since I don't use WhatsApp. I do not seem to have the problem when making calls via Facebook Messenger. It's a known problem since the 6 and OnePlus knows about it, they just haven't issued a fix yet. Sorry I can't be more help with this.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to all my questions! Very kind of you.
As for the VoLTE stuff, maybe I'll continue to do more digging since you say you're seeing the icon but I'm not. That tells me VoLTE is not properly enabled on my device (I assume). Thanks again, much appreciated :highfive:
I can't find it, but there are several threads on enabling VoLTE & VoWIFI.
One involves entering the hidden menu, via *#808#, then toggling the appropriate settings.
That's what I did (USA version). I was on the 9.07 firmware, which didn't support it, but VoLTE
popped up and started working, when the 9.11 version hit.

You are very welcome. You may want to try using the MSM Tool found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307
That's should fix some problems you may be having, especially the VoLTE and VoWiFi issues. I know you're not using the T-Mobile version of the phone, so I'm not sure if this will help you much or not, but a MSM Tool that's meant for your device should work.
OP, I have enabled volte on op6t on Rogers. Fido should work, too. It seems nobody enables WiFi calling on op6t in Canada.

Gave both of these a try and still don't see the volte icon. It's hard to tell if it's enabled even though the icon isn't showing.
I appreciate both your guys' responses though! I didn't know about these additional menus!!
I have the T-Mobile version on T-Mobile and also don't see the VOLTE icon, but if I go to Settings/About Phone/SIM Status, it shows Mobile voice network type LTE. I assume that means VOLTE is enabled.

I'm in the US and I have TMobile as my carrier, and both of VoLTE/VoWiFi enabled by default
Looks like you have the International version of the OP6T. My T-Mobile version doesn't have the Enhanced Communications section in Settings/Wi-Fi & internet/SIM & network and I don't see an Icon Manager screen anywhere either, though I have the WiFi Calling switch.

Mine is TMobile version but I converted it to OOS using this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 in case you're interested.
I've read about that but after rooting/custom ROMing just about every Android device I've ever had (up to the ZTE Blade V8 Pro, anyway), I just don't have the inclination to do it with this phone. Everything works and VoLTE is enabled by default, so I'm fine with that.
I've tried to enable as much as I could (full port switch, VoLTE provisioning, enabled in settings) and still don't see the icon.
Very strange and at this point I'm almost prepared to just accept I won't see that icon lol

I hear ya! I quit rooting since I got the Essential phone. Android stock rom now a days much better so I don't need root either. I just converted this phone so I can use the dual SIM cards and faster updates rather than waiting for TMO.
After making some videos via WhatsApp and Snapchat, my question #7 is starting to become a bigger issue than enabling VoLTE/WiFi
It's very obvious the wrong mic is being used during video records because the audio just sounds terrible.
Seems like a widespread issue since there are many articles about it. Is there any known fix out there for us rooted users?

Though it would be nice to consolidate any issues we have or potential bugs as well as possible solutions in one place.
Here is what I have found in a little over 24 hours.
1. Can't change lock screen wallpaper. Changes just won't take.
2. In settings>security>smart lock>trusted paces everytime I tap on "add a trusted place" I get a pop up stating "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped"
3. There apears to be no direct way to block numbers from the dialer or contacts like on my Nexus 6P

+1 , i try and i get that error message and bugs i have came across so far are the follow :
1- Camera Freezes and Stops Working. (Way to fix that is Reboot Device)
2- The Adding "Trusted Places " under Smart Lock. (same as you)
3- Can't Enable ZTE Apps when they are Disabled (ZTE Music/Video/My Voice and probably more), i disabled the Music app by mistake thinking it was the Google one and the ENABLE was grey out, hated i had to Factory Reset to get it back.

Got mine at Best Buy two days ago.
I haven't played with the camera, so comment on possible issues. Will do so this weekend.
I also just noticed my wallpaper doesn't scroll (it scrolls fine on my Nexus 6P and LG G5).
Weak cell signal.
May security patch
Weak low light camera.
I'm sure those can be fixed to some extent with a software update.

Haven't seen that issue around on the forums. You should also post this in the ZTE USA forums so that one of the mods can help you better.
Hi everyone,
Don't know for sure if this is the right place to post the thread as it is a Miui 10 problem.
As I am totally happy with my rooted Poco F1 on LineageOS, I bought my girlfriend a Redmi Note 7 recently (which i keep unrooted). Great phone overall, but there is one big issue for us and that's the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode. First of all, when DND activated there are still Whatsapp notifications which is a well known bug in Miui, because I read it everywhere. Anyway, I just disabled the notifications in Whatsapp so that's no big deal anymore.
Bigger problem is the incoming phone calls in the DND mode. When someone is calling (not a favourite/starred contact), it's almost impossible to see if the phone is 'ringing'. The screen keeps black and only when you activate te screen you see a small green block in the left top corner with 00:00 written in it. This is pretty frustrating as we never can see if anyone is calling. This is the first time I face something like this, usually the screen lights up and you will see the incoming call information. On LineageOS it works perfect actually...
Somebody facing the same problem? If yes, is it possible to solve, as DND mode is complete useless for us now...
Thanks already!
Best wishes,
Mark
UP! Sorry for being pushy, but this is really important to use the phone in a proper way.
Thanks again!
Mark
I think this is just a Miui 10 'bug'. Does this forum have a Miui 10 section where I can post this question? I searched for it, but I can't find it that quick. Maybe I'm a bit blind as well
Thanks!
Mark
Sorry to bother, but is there no one who face this problem? Or is it just how the DND function works?
This is not how usual DND works. It's just an Miui thing. I too find it annoying since I depend on DND a lot. Best option is to unlock and flash a custom ROM with normal DND behaviour.

Thanks for your reply! Indeed, it's pretty useless this way...
I'm running a custom ROM on my Poco F1, but as this phone is for my girlfriend I don't want to flash if not needed. She just use her phone very simply, and I think rooting is not neccessary for her. She don't has any benefits from it, except a nice working DND modus
Keep us posted in case you find a solution without flashing a custom rom

One month ahead, maybe someone has a workaround?
Still nothing I'm afraid? DND mode is pretty useless now...
Hello OP!
I do not have solution for this problem, but I'm here to cheer you up, as I came to this thread facing the same problem on my Mi Mix 3. Unfortunately, it looks like we are the only two MIUI users who suffer from this feature. Hopefully there is third one in the world wide web who knows the workaround and share it with us.

Yeah, I think it's pretty strange that nobody cares about this, so maybe we are using it the wrong way. Anyway, I'm always in silent mode excluding for starred contacts. Maybe it will be solved in the future, we will see...
Take care!
I would check with the Xiaomi MIUI community forums to see if anyone's found a fix over there.
They're way more active with MIUI information vs XDA

What's your problem with rooting?
To use custom ROM you need open bootloader, have root... it's your choice, usually custom roms don't have root by default, who want can flash magisk package.
My wife using now phone with custom rom, without root. I changed the rom, because the phone is old, and don't get official update.
Other option can be to use alternative DND app, what you can configure as you wish.
Just posting to let you know that I have the same issue, and it is very annoying.
At least my Mi Band vibrates even on DND mode (which shouldn't happen, but lol right now it's good that it does because otherwise I'd have no way to tell that someone is calling). When sleeping, the watch detects it and also stop notifications. Which is also annoying, DND on the watch and on the phone should be in sync but that's just a perfect example of how very unperfect Xiaomi's ecosystem is.
I guess a "solution" could be to use "Silent" mode instead of DND and disable vibration? Didn't check if even possible, just a thought.
Using a Mi 9 with Miui 11.0.6...
Hey all, I really need some help, borderline might send this phone back even though I love it so far. GPS location is absolute garbage.
Countless google searches show this issue persisted even back during OnePlus 5 phones. This is my first OnePlus device and I am slowly ( I am patient) having some issues creep up. The GPS issue doesn't have any official fix from my search, only some tricks that work temporarily.
How has OnePlus ignored this for so long?
Waze barely ever GPS locks and when it does its for a few minutes. Google maps is the same way. No amount of reboots, clearing location cache, toggling power savings etc has worked enough for me to say "its fixed". I never experienced this on other devices. This is why I came to XDA (back when I used to flash everything). Has anyone discovered a real fix? Do I have to flash some new ROM to resolve this?

You might want to say TMobile version. But I'm guessing you don't have root access bc TMobile locks the bootloader?
If you had root you could just edit and replace the gpsconfig file
Yes TMobile version it's new just got it a few days ago, untouched. I haven't been in the rom flashing game in awhile, kind of veered off that but your reply tells me that will fix my issue? Is there another thread I missed that explains why that would work?
If so please kindly link me.
I have an update for those having this issue. I have done more testing with GPS locker and noticed random results. It definitely helped usability by 20% but by no l means is this a fix.
GPS locker once locked around 10-15 seconds I open Waze and immediately it loses all connections, it's as if Waze itself is not working right, perhaps it's Android 10 or 5g. Ultimately you can sit and wait and Waze will eventually work for a few minutes or so then die out again.
Google maps was better by about 15% due to GPS locker although it too will from time to time lose GPS and you may end up missing an exit.
Last thing I tried was switching network mobile mode from automatic 2g/3g/lte/5g to the one below that without 5g and noticed considerable improvement but I do not have enough testing time to conclude that works.
No one has GPS issues? It's all honky Dory? There's plenty of threads on this but no bite. I am more curious for those on 7tpro.
I wonder if it's a 5g problem. I have been seeing a similar experience on the note 10+ 5g boards.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...Note10-5G/GPS-loss-when-5G-is-on/td-p/1338709
Is one example,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/gps-issue-t3965662/amp/
Another.
Anyone with 5g chime in?
I'm having these issues too, I notice it a lot on Waze. Google's cool.

Alright I have confirmed my suspicions with the help of this same issue on the Note 10 5G forums. After I left home today I set my phone on a navigation drive using Waze, it connected right up on 4G LTE (I guess no 5G towers nearby). As I was driving, rock solid for 15 minutes it suddenly connected to 5G, you know what happened next, it disconnected GPS immediately. This confirmed what everyone else is saying. There is a bug or some problem when these new 5G phones switch between 4G lTE -> 5G and back, more specifically, I dont think 5G is ready for prime time when it comes to GPS locking.
I switch my network settings to not search for 5G and GPS with Waze was rock solid. This is indeed the fix / workaround for now when your using navigation apps until Oneplus / T mobile releases a fix. I am more disgusted that these 2 flagships (Note 10 + 5G included) was not properly tested and vetted before marketing shoved it down our throats.
I've noticed the same issues. Although I've posted on Reddit about it.
Waze as an app has issues with GPS if you read the reviews so it's a tough one.
I did do a small test like you in regards to 5g and GPS and it seems to have been better.
Very unfortunate. I'm debating whether to keep the phone and simply put it to 4g or just return and get like a note 10+ (standard 4g) for the time being since 5g seems to have issues
Edit:
Looking at the above linked topic it seems like the issue was fixed with an update for the Galaxy
I wouldn't worry too much, 5G is still new and I am confident they will iron things out. I thought about switching phones too but for what? The other 5g had the same issue(note).
In time it will be fixed, for now when I am on the road I leave it at 4g lte and I am good to go.
confirmed with GPS locker app...
Using GPS locker I can notice the 5G issues like others on my op7Tp 5G ... an easy fix (until this gets addressed by t-mobile) is to disable 5G and use 4G instead :crying:
For some reason it seems to be a oneplus wide issue like you said since the OP5. I had an OP5 damaged the screen and went back to my MI MIX 2. Had 0 issues with my MI MIX 2 other than the weird location of the selfie cam (bottom right of the screen). Recently upgraded to the OP7 pro (non 5g) unlocked version (i know you have the 7t pro but figure we could all help each other) and definitely still have some GPS issues. Google works, however waze is intermittent and especially bad while making phone calls (EX android auto+waze, while hands free talking on the phone).
GPS Locker definitely helps for me. i have it auto-lock then launch waze (settings in the GPS Locker app).
I've also used compass steel app and used it to calibrate the compass in the phone. This also seems to help some.
The only other thing worth investigating i think would be to check a few settings and see how they pan out. Related to the battery optimization settings in android 9 and 10. Adaptive battery (seems to be system wide), and battery optimization options (seems to be app specific) for waze gps locker, etc. Let me know what everyone finds out. Seriously tempted to trade in my OP7 pro if the mi mix 4 looks promising. My Mi Mix 2 was solid and im a huge OP fan....
Maybe it's worth it now to bring this to the OnePlus forum community. When I have time I'll whip something up and link it here so we can add to it. More eyes are needed from there end.

I believe it is worth it. Get enough people with enough devices across different carriers making the issues visible and hopefully someone will fix it!
I've even edited the GPSconfig file to no avail. I would love to get my hands on a similar device (GPS hardware) that is carrier branded and see if that helps the issue. How can I find identical hardware? Maybe a Samsung?

Yep indeed it does, I've already made a topic about this issue on reddit aswell.
Nice!
I have the tmobile 5g version and gps is horrible. I tried both google maps and Waze. It takes 5 minutes to lock on GPS initially and then while driving it will freeze up and not move for a few minutes (as I get lost) then randomly reconnect and disconnect again. Frustrating since I drive use GPS often in the LA area.
The last update is horrible! I am experiencing the following issues. I have been a long time user due of OnePlus phones due to the fast software and generally being bloat-free. Now they have published software with major problems and the stuff with forcing the "Red Cable Club" functionality to some users is just horrible. What is this crap? Why can't their engineers spot these problems a power users can spot in a few days of usage?
I hope they will fix these issues fast, or I will have to look for another phone. Maybe the Google Pixels are fast and bloat-free?
Random FPS drop
The FPS of the phone can randomly drop to about 10. Happens every few days and a reboot fixes this.
Wifi problems
5 GHz wifi seems not to be working properly. Random connection drops.
Proximity sensor always on
Every few days (probably related to making calls) it happens that the proximity sensor still thinks its in a call. It will turn of the screen if my finger passes over the sensor, regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
Vibrating notifications in silent mode
For some notifications, the phone has started to vibrate. Even though I always have the switch in the silent mode setting.
Hi.
- The "Red Cable Club" seems to be only for Indian users, I think you cand disable that app using ADB.
- The performance problems are there since the first beta of 10, with the passing of the updates the performance has been improving but it's still far from Pie (This isn't something specific of this device, even users of the 7 series suffer this problem).
- With 10 and 10.3.0 I had problems with the 5 GHz connection, but it's working fine with 10.3.1.
- In relation to the last two problems, I've never had them.
No problems here. Make sure you have updated to 10.3.1

Fairly new to rooting (again) - I have a OPO6T rooted, with Magisk and TWRP installed running on 10.3.0. Can you point me to how I can update to 10.3.1 please?
My data speeds have been ATROCIOUS since unlocking Tmobile and rooting.
-horrible data speeds on network
-spotty wifi connections
-unable to use data during phone calls while on network (wifi is ok)
-constant taking screenshots (never had this before, buttons havent moved, what changed?)
I started with 10.3.0 and I am now on 10.3.1 and having the same issues.
And, I have another phone (Honor 6x), also with Tmobile and the data speed is much better than the OP6t.
Help. Phone data is almost unbearable anymore.

Hello buddy, i followed those steps..
1. Download 10.3.1 and copy to the main folder of your phone.
2. Download latest @mauronofrio 's twrp zip (3.3.1-31) and copy it somewhere into your phone...
3 Delete all your security stuff such as fingerprints, passwords, etc...
4. Open Magisk and untick all your modules, delete stuff like substratum, reboot...
5. Launch your 10.3.1 update via local, when finished don't reboot...
6. Open Magisk, tap modules, tap plus icon ( + ), select @mauronofrio 's twrp zip, let it flash (yes like a module), don't reboot...
7. Be sure you're connected to the internet, be in the main menu of Magisk, tap install, again install and install into the inactive slot (after OTA).
8. Reboot your device, let it sit for a while and re-set all your stuff.
9. Done, enjoy your new system...
Cheers

Thanks for the reply bud. Silly question time -
1. Where am I downloading 10.3.1 from? I can only see 10.3.0 on the Official Oneplus site.
2. Does the above wipe all my apps and data?

The last update is horrible! I am experiencing the following issues. I have been a long time user due of OnePlus phones due to the fast software and generally being bloat-free. Now they have published software with major problems and the stuff with forcing the "Red Cable Club" functionality to some users is just horrible. What is this crap? Why can't their engineers spot these problems a power users can spot in a few days of usage?
I hope they will fix these issues fast, or I will have to look for another phone. Maybe the Google Pixels are fast and bloat-free?
Random FPS drop
The FPS of the phone can randomly drop to about 10. Happens every few days and a reboot fixes this.
Wifi problems
5 GHz wifi seems not to be working properly. Random connection drops.
Proximity sensor always on
Every few days (probably related to making calls) it happens that the proximity sensor still thinks its in a call. It will turn of the screen if my finger passes over the sensor, regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
Vibrating notifications in silent mode
For some notifications, the phone has started to vibrate. Even though I always have the switch in the silent mode setting.

Also, "Handling Theme" notification seems to pop-up for no apparent reason. Not sure if this process drains battery.

You're right, it's not on the official website, at least I didn't bother doing a thorough search ...
I got it here on XDA in the global builds repo thread ... HERE, signed flashable zips...
and no don't worry, you won't lose your apps and data.
Have a good day
P.S .: it is always recommended to make backups in case something goes wrong ...

Yes, I also noticed this thing, sometimes it seems to appear for no reason ...
Yeah, I am also experiencing this random "handling theme" notification. I hope they fix this soon!

It's not random, it appears briefly each time you install or update an app. I don't see why people are so upset by this thing that lasts 5 secondes.
Face unlock has so far failed to work on android 10 for me - I can setup the face, but unlock never works.
Did a full fresh install - not an upgrade.

People are upset because they have published horrible software with no quality control. Updates, which make performance worse, not better.

Ranting here about OnePlus has strictly no effect, is totally useless. If you're upset enough consider changing your phone instead. Believe me the are many more serious things in life than being that upset for minor things.... Take a breath.
Plus the Fact that OnePlus despite all it's fault, is one of the Fastest OEM's to push out OTA's after Pixel and Essential. They are also the one that provide the longest support (3 years for the OP3 & 3T) and have arguably the best Software Skin, even better than Stock Android on Pixels. Their phones remain fast and snappy in the long run and did I mention they are almost half the Price of Modern Flagships? For me, OOS is alone enough to buy OnePlus phones. Now, regarding your "issues", OnePlus did push out a Hasty update but to their Credit they have been trying to fix it. If you are not satisfied with the Quality then you can either wait or as suggested previously, change your phone to either the 7 or 8 Series or another OEM altogether.

This ^^^ and yeah altho some ppl experience some problems... There's a whole lot of ppl that do not have a single problem at all... I'm one of them ?
I'm considering trying Lineage given the odd quirks I'm seeing with my rooted Oxygen.
What will I lose or gain by switching from Oxygen to Lineage?
Personally I like youtube vanced and, viper which I get from nolimits 12.0, I also like the native call record. So in my case, I stick to oos.

Thanks for the response. If I could resolve two quirks with OOS, I'd be happy to stay.
1. SMS/MMS database wiped at every restart. (Or is it the messages were never committed to system database?)
2. EcoBee & August use the same API or third party library to add smart home devices. They fail while all other vendors works fine. I had to add devices using a different unrooted phone.
#2 is annoying. #1 is a bigger deal.

I went from OOS to LineageOS 18.1. While I love LineageOS, I am having problems with all my calls going to Real Time Text mode after a hardware answer. I have Verizon as my carrier and this might be the issue. I cannot say for sure. There is no Google on my phone and I get along just fine without them. If I can solve this issue it would otherwise be almost perfect. My 2 cents.

I have Verizon too and same thing happens. It's a known issue with most Android 11 ROMs on this phone, except for one or two, who's developers found a workaround.
911 calls don't work either which is a bigger deal.

Holy cow....thanks for the tip off. You don't dial 911 unless it's an emergency so I never knew. That would be complete NO NO and if I were LineageOS I would have a BIG warning to Verizon users NOT to use this. I went back to Android 10, HavocOS. Only issue I have is with MMS, but QKSMS is work around for it. I am going to place a test call to 911 now just to be sure. Thanks again.

Pixen OS, but it's no longer supported and gave me battery issues. I think Jaguar OS has it fixed too. Not sure about pixel experience.

No problem, it could just be me but I think it's maybe related to the rtt issue. You should be fine on Android 10 based ROMs.
