Using an oneplus 7t pro 5g Mclaren since February this year..i am not a power user..when OS11 update came i was so excited to upgrade and after upgrading my peaceful life with the device has become a nightmare..i am trying to point out the problems i have been facing..
1.the google app simply doesn't wanna work 99% of the time..(since OS10) i have use chrome for normal google search..
2.'ok google' or 'hey google' never did respond to me doesnt matter how many times i retrain my voice.
3.smart lock features doesnt work.
4.the battery capacity has been shown 3300 mAh on many device checking apps including benchmarking ones where it's supposed to show 4085 mAh as written on the box..besides that my phone battery backup forced me to put my belief on the 3300 mAh capacity..since OS11 update it has become worse just.
5.Oneplus cameras dont have that great reputation but i was happy with the shutter performance and the pics..OS11 destroyed that feeling with laggy camera app and bad performances..protrait mood fights hard to locate the face/object and 70% time gets defeated..theres obviously focus issues as well..but the 1 sec lag after pressing shutter is just unbearable..last 2/3 months i have been avoiding taking pics on my phone
6.Ghost Lock has made my device so pathetic that the phone itself wanna die i think..it doesnt matter gaming or making a simple call ghost locks have been happening all the time..phone hangs 10% of the time after it happens...minimum 5 times a day.
7.some third party apps arent working properly also which are very useful one's..like vanced/quick video recorder etc..
8.in developer options the Bluetooth LDAC options have been disabled.i bought an oneplus bullets Z along with the phone but later was surprised to see that it only supports AAC and another common codec no aptX or anything.i dont understand when i connect this headphone with a Xiaomi MI 9T all the codecs are available to choose on that device but not on my phone! The codecs arent available on the phone itself or the Bluetooth device i am confused.
9.i dont know what to say about the battery backup.never felt an urge to buy a power bank but now i do.i am not also a heavy gamer dont play PUBG or Asphalt. Games like Rise of empire or clash royale drains the battery such fast that my 3 years old Nokia 6.1 sometimes laughs at it.
10.heating issue isnt absent either..i only use the cover given with the phone when not at home..phone gets heated up with simple gaming sometimes unbearably during charging..i have been noticing also the charging time isnt like it used to be..20/30 minutes more ots taking for a full charge.
11.bluetooth device gets disconnected on calls specially when talking over social apps.and on some social media apps it doesnt wanna even get connected
Again i am not a super user of android..never tried rooting any device..this one is my first OnePlus device. what are my options to get rid of these problems? Specially to solve the problem with the camera i am seriously thinking of downgrading it to OS10 stable but i dont know that will fix camera lag at least or not..any suggestions to get rid of all/most of the problems written above will be heavenly..thanks for having patience to read all through
My current build number..

Wow, you must have spent (wasted) a long, long time typing that...
As for 4) that's a bug in most apps. The battery capacity is 4085maH
As for everything else, have you tried a factory reset and not restoring data/backup of app data from Google?
I don't have a single one of those issues on OOS 11.
If factory reset doesn't work, you can revert back to OOS10 using the MSM tool, or sell the phone. Do you think a) OnePlus reads these forums or b) actually cares at all?
Thanks for ur reply..actually it took a little time to write but u must have noticed i managed to make it funny for myself
No i didnt try that..u r suggesting me to factory reset and then not restoring the backup data and start fresh?

Yes, exactly. Just try it and see if it works. Don't have much to lose by trying. Considering I don't have a single issue with OOS11 (and specifically none of the ones you mentioned), I think you have some apps or more specifically app data that didn't take the upgrade to OOS11 well and are causing havoc on your device. Just factory reset, don't let Google restore apps (sms, call log, pictures are fine to restore), and see if you still have issues.

I bought the McLaren when it first came out. I loved the device and it worked flawlessly. I saw no need to sweat rooting the device and wasn't an option back then anyway. Even now it doesn't seem as clean as the earlier android phones I've rooted and owned but the world changes.
Unfortunately, I cracked my screen and was sent a refurb. I started dealing with sound corruption issues shortly afterwards. I never gave up on the phone and I knew there was some kind of conflict with newer Google updates my device pretty early on. I did MANY factory resets(erase all) and cleared cache both individually and as well as through recovery and it would only temporarily fix my issue. Then it would come back on it's own without any changes made by me.
At first, I had a lot of success uninstalling updates for the main Google app, clearing cache and data (sometimes resetting system app preferences and then rebooting into recovery where I would clear cache again and reboot. That worked for a while but as Google and other Google services received updates it became more difficult to fix using this method. By the time 11 dropped and the issue got worse, I was convinced I must have gotten either A) a bad egg or B) it was my fault and I turned the phone off in the middle of an install causing some kind of corruption that persisted through the updates somehow. The truth though may be somewhere between a phone that someone returned for a good reason and the increasingly more insidious nature of Google Apps. I was eventually defeated, made too many changes that the phone didn't agree with, got the Qualcom Error and was faced with either getting a new phone or seeking aid through a Community I've always respected.
Since then I've tried clean installs of the more recent RoMs but the issue was persistant. If it wasn't for the fact that the phone's speaker and mic would work again after a clean install (offline no SiM) but then get corrupted again within 5 minutes, I think I would have assumed a hardware issue only (still might be a bad egg on some level).
I decided to go back further, this time installing 10.0.36, which I guessed might be far enough back to a time before any issues and is a bit lighter (around 10 preinstalled apps lighter not including system). To my dismay (again, still offline) the mic and speaker corruption/conflict was still present. I began making one change at a time (mostly targeting anything mic or Google related) and it became clearer over the last few days that it was definitely Google and Google's zombie-like behavior to change settings back on it's own. I think that company went way past the point of overreach and intrusion a long time ago.
What happens is that ALL of the Google apps have (modify system settings) checked by default and I believe all it takes is one of them to have that access to let it's Google buddies come back to the party.
I would love to know where the conflict actually lies on a deeper level but that's probably a bit out my bubble of current knowledge and I just really need to have a working phone more than answers atm.
Now I'm praying that dropping in my Sim and signing in to the real owner (I seriously overpaid for a phone that's mostly not mine) of my phone doesn't somehow give Google access to some backup plan to allow itself free reign all up in my settings again. If it does, someone in charge of the google might be getting a 5G McLaren shoved into places that see less sun...in my imagination of course.

The problem isn't Google, it's OnePlus not following Google's mandated instructions on how to properly initialize and configure a new device that will be running A10, because they (OnePlus) rushed it to market. They didn't set up the partition tables properly to work with the new dynamic partitioning in A10 for a start.
A10 and A11 are part of Project Mainline which allows Google to update important parts of the phone transparently without having to wait for an OTA from the manufacturer and/or carrier. But because OnePlus didn't properly set up the device for A10, the transparent updates don't go over very well...and there is no way to fully undo them even with the MSM tool.
The blame solely lies with OnePlus as no other devices launched with A10 have this issue. OnePlus didn't follow the "basic" instructions available for the entire planet to see on Google's Android dev website. Google's only mistake was certifying this piece of crap.

Problem 1:
I've just rooted my nexus-s and I'm not sure whether it's due to rooting or a software conflict with apps installed on the device that's not compatible with android 2.3, but I'm experiencing quite a frequent phone reboot while I am in the middle of an active call.
Is there a way to capture the log of the phone's function and see what's causing the reboot?
Are anyone experiencing this problem as well?
Problem 2:
I probably have only used 240 Mb of the USB storage, and it shows that I have 13Gb free. However, when I put the check boxes beside the applications that can be moved to the USB storage (i.e. native apps2sd), I seem to have surpassed the limit allowed for moving the app for USB storage. I've got 21 apps that can be moved, but it won't allow me to move the 21st app. Error message says "[! Move Application] Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left." I've tried checking and unchecking boxes of different applications, and it has nothing to do with the 20 apps limit, but rather it's the amount of memory being moved to the USB storage

Sorry, I'm a newbie, so I can't post outside link. Please change the XX to tt in the link above.

Well I have 23 apps on my USB storage, and I have the Voodoo Root kernel as well. It shows 2.1gb used, 11gb free.
I did notice a 'soft reboot' earlier today but it wasn't during a call, don't know what caused it but yeah. Honestly if I were you and the problem persists just reformat and start over.
Im having the same phone reboot problem as you during phone calls. I thought it was due to an app called Screebl being incompatible, but i just made a test call and it rebooted after about 18 minutes. Im going through my apps to see what else effects the phone state during phone call.
Ive heard of some people having problems with google maps causing problems during phone calls, or sprint nav (but we dont have sprint nav) So im going to try shutting down maps, and uninstalling my task killer, which i also heard can cause problems.
Have you been able to figure anything out? I really dont want to have to reset my phone and lose all my save data information from my games. My phone is not rooted, and i dont plan on rooting yet, so i cant use titanium backup for my data.
Phone only Reboots during active phone call, i can play games or surf the web on it all day long with no reboots.
So software issue in android 2.3, or some kind of app incompatibility im thinking
you can capture the log with adb logcat command, or download a logcat app from the Market http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=logcat
Why are you bothering with apps2sd? The Nexus S shares the Galaxy S line's hugh, I mean HUGE, 1GB of "disk" space for apps. I've got almost 100 apps on my phone and not a hint of low space. See the screen capture I've attached: 284mb used for apps, 724mb still free!
oh crap! please let it not be the same problem as in the SGS i9000m
that's one of the sign before the internal SD goes belly up

Didn't they switch the type of flash memory used from earlier Galaxy S phones? I saw some discussion about it not being movinand any longer, or at least some sort of physical difference between what the NS has vs the SGS line.

Haha this may be the case, but I've inherited the habit of obsessively moving apps to sd/usb from using my Nexus One. Combined, I am using about 450MB of space for my apps at the moment. But this is a huge improvement from the Nexus One.

Oh yes, I was the same on my N1 and even EVO 4G, but once I got a Galaxy S, never even considered it.
I'll wager the nand used for the "rom" space is faster than the nand for the "sdcard", another thing to consider. You're not even half-way used up with that 450...

I haven't rooted my Nexus S,but i've experience the same soft reboot during call.
I have the "End call using power button" option enabled. Im not sure if i was leaning on the button when it happened, but stock doesn't have a reboot option, so its unlikely. I suspect its a OS bug, rather than a rooting issue.
Let me know if you make any progress, i've since made calls with no problems.

You know, I thought there were software incompatibilities too at the first place. I did not use "End call using power button". But after running the same stock rom with rooting and apps for a week, I didn't see the soft reset during the phone call. I have just installed a new rom on my nexus s, the R2 version of MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung Nexus S. Running great so far. No soft resets.
** Edit **
Actually, after posting this post yesterday, I did experience another soft reset whilst talking on my phone. I have the same apps that I have been running in the background, mainly: google pinyin, paypal, k-9 mail, ebay, rhapsody, google voice, bluetooth share, and swype. I am not experience the soft reset in all calls, after I have installed the R2 version of MoDaCo Custom Rom. I will post any problems again if I do see this happening again.
I did a factory reboot/restore and that seemed to take care of the soft reset during call problem.
Have made several calls without issue
Its doing it again, this phone is going back. The screen coating is already wearing off as well. Hopefully number 2 will be better.
I have yet to get one android phone that hasnt had to be exchanged once. Android phones really need to have better QC before leaving the factory.
Droid 1: 3 times (keyboard, GPS problems)
Evo: 4 times (terrible screens)
epic: 1 time (Keyboard)
Nexus: 1 time (so far) Screen Coating, Constant Reboots
Phone reboots itself during an active call.
I have been experiencing this problem and it seems to escalate in frequency. I got this Nexus S on day one when it came out. However, I have not experienced soft reboot issue until last week, after the OTA update. Since then, it keeps doing it more and more and now it's like almost every active call I make. First, I thought it's software conflict. Now, having read this whole thread, I think it's an OS issue.
I also sometimes encounter with completely losing signal. The phone can not register to any network, and I have to reboot.
One more issue is the voice search apk sometimes activates itself when I shake or move the phone.
My phone is stock, and I do not have any issue with USB storage.
I like the phone for its speed, and the contour screen. It handles most tasks very quickly, even it's still a stock phone, unrooted.
I still have it until Jan 14 to decide whether I will keep it or not. Hopefully, there are some ways to fix these issues.
Mine is restarting during calls and also when not in use. It restarted 3 times during calls within 10 days, and I witnessed it restarting by itself at least once when the phone was locked and not in use.
I have an unrooted Nexus S, which I started using yesterday. The OTA came almost immediately after setting up, so I installed that. It appeared to be working flawlessly until this evening when I made the first call on it. It rebooted a few minutes into the call. After redialing it did it again, the third call I ended without problem, but was shorter than the previous two. A few mins later I made some test calls and it rebooted during both of them.
I did a factory reset and wipe of USB storage - I didn't bother adding my Google account and just made a test call which lasted 13 mins before I hung up.
I'll have to make some more calls tomorrow and if they work, I'll try adding my Google account and restoring stuff.
I had this same thing happen to me quite a few times reboot during a call or locking up after a call. I work to a company and we purchased three phones. So I switched with another one and guess what? Same problem definitely looking like a software problem.
This just happened to me for the 1st time a little bit ago. About 35 mins into the call/conversation, phone rebooted itself. Non-rooted here, I hope it's a software issue, that can be corrected within the next OTA update.
Are the spontaneously rebooting phones possibly overheating? Do they feel warmer to the touch than normal when it happens?

While I cannot speak for anyone else having this issue, in my case - no. The phone didn't get warmer, or seem to overheat. Odd issue to say the least.
Stock ROM (2.3.1) here as well. Just had it reboot 10 minutes into a call, then one minute into the following call to apologise for the first dropped call!
Hello,
I own Huawei Nova (CAN0L11C) with EMUI 5 and Android 7. I use it for more than a year now and so far everything looked great.
However, recently I'm very pissed of the productivity of the phone. I am using it mainly not in my country of origin as I work in a different country, but since I'm here I noticed that the phone acts veeery very slow. It becomes a huge issue to open google maps and start navigating with it, and during that time i don't want to speak about multitasking. It's almost impossible to swithc to other apps.
Here are some things that I tried:
I've cleared up disk space.
From time to time i use some apps like NoxCleaner to clean the memory and caches but this fixes the problem temporarily
I did uninstalled apps that i dont use
Nothing helps much. I would appreciate any suggestions to make that phone great again!
you have to factory reset your phone ( 1st you have to save your personal files on Sdcard )
Settings -------> Advanced setting ------> Backup & Reset -------> Factory Data Reset ------> Reset Phone
yeah im kinda trying to avoid that, but thanks for the suggestion. this will be my last option if nothing else works.
Same problem there. Factory reset already done but nothing changes... Some news on the subject ?

How's your RAM usage? Don't use anti viruses and task killers. They're useless on Android.
You can try LineageOS 14.
Thanks for sure.
I have at least 1Go Ram free. Lags appears on maps, snapchat and screen freeze...
Same problem exists
Same problem happening, any solution for this issue?
I have been experiencing the same slow speeds & lag. The 1st 6 months I was so impressed with the performance of this phone, even comparing it to the performance of the flagships. It was really that good. But, come 8 months down the line, & I'm battling with lag, poor multitasking & screen freezing. Im trying to avoid factory resetting & on top of all this I don't have access to my trusted tools as I can't unlock the bootloader to gain root.
Can somebody look into this please & provide some feedback. I doubt its the processor or hardware causing these issues as the Snapdragon 625 is one of the best in its class & other phones using it aren't experiencing the same problems. I have a feeling its got something to do with the Android system updates of recent. The Google security patches updates. I noticed the speed issues after each update was installed.
FINALLY got to the bottom of my Huawei NOVA's performance issues!!!
Firstly, just want to say, Google & Huawei you are both a bunch of Monkeys !!!
I've owned my fone for two years now, and the latter year the device was just a piece of Sh1t to use, anything like Google Maps, or Assist or 'OK Google' was ridiculous to try and use, ..and everything else was running at like a 3rd performance of what the phone was supposed to be acting like. (hanging & freezing whenever you needed it to do something)
**What really cheesed me off is the amount of times this phone went back to Huawei under Warranty and they didn't even both running a performance test with all their technical know how to identify which process/application was the culprit - & o yes, it was a specific process (Or update rather as the last guy on this Thread assumed it was).
No Android apps either from the play store - like Process identifier apps etc would show any bottleneck in either RAM or CPU when the go slow or hanging was occurring, ..its like it couldn't detect the "layer" of which the issue was occurring on.
So Huawei just kept Factory resetting my phone and sending it back,.then as soon as I load my apps and within a week its all balls again. (And Im wondering if its one of my apps doing it)
To the point: IT IS THE **** GOOGLE APP **** itself, ..or at least the updates that are applied after your fone has completed its factory reset (If you did this) and the next updates come down automatically via Google Play store. (This isn't Google Assist or the Android OS itself,..the listing in the installed apps is just called 'Google' or 'Google LLC' (Im a new user so cant post any images or links yet untill after 10 basic posts first).
Grrr! ..this has been soo frustrating to find this out, ..so I just uninstalled updates for this 'Google App' so its back to the default original the phone came with, & now my phone is absolutely flying again - whilst I still have it loaded with all my apps etc.
So who's to blame here, ..Google for pushing updates which kill the phone OR Huawei should've identified this and responded with either a fix OR that the middle weight Nova can't handle the latest 'Google App' updates.
For the record - I also managed to get my Nova updated to Android Nougat (Which wasn't officially released on Nova UK phones, .. I got the correct firmware/software update etc,... but also since it went from Marshmallow to Nougat it also was crippling slow and therefore I got it reverted back to Android 6 Marshmallow (Now Im wondering if again it was simply that the latest Google App Updates had been applied to Nougat and messed the phone ?? - anyway ..ill keep it on Android 6 for now,..just happy that its responsive again and flying.
I also have to manually press the Microphone on the screen now whenever I want to speak to 'OK Google' ..its not automatic anymore - or rather constantly listening out for me to say 'OK Google' (So this must be applicable to the latest Google App update - but then this Nova just cant handle being on listen the whole time. ... But anyway if that's the price to pay for excellent performance now, ..then I dont mind at all. stuff automatic listening for me to say 'OK Google' Ill control it manually instead.
Its been so long that I forgot how a phone should be, ..its insane how fast my phone is now since uninstalling the frikken Google App)
Dont let this Google App update from your phones original - Disable Android Auto Updates
Hope this Helps you guys. (Actually it will blimming well help)
Peace

THANK YOU! <3 I have uninstalled the Google App leaving untouched rest of the google services like "google apps services" or "maps" etc. Now my phone is working as it should be!
Hi guys. Any update on your overall speed?
I factory reset the phone and it helped a bit for a while. Then I disabled the Google App and it worked like a charm... for a while. Now it's incredibly laggy again.
It's really frustrating to use. I would love to install a custom ROM, alas I don't have the bootloader unlock codes
Ok so for the last few months I have been experiencing major slow downs on my A1.
I was on the January Oreo update when one day the phone started lagging when opening apps or browsing inside apps. I could not track down the problem so I did a factory reset. The first few factory resets made the phone very slow, with even the welcome screen crashing. I flashed the latest nougat rom using the mi flash tool and after a few tries and factory restores it got a bit stable. Now I am in the december nougat build and, even tho it is still slower than it was, it is somewhat usable. I did find a thread here about how the problem could be the eMMC dying, so I started doing some benchmarks.
To my surprise, the storage is extremely slow, like HDD slow... I have the 64GB model. Here is a screenshot of AndroBench. Is there anything I can do or is it just a hardware problem and I need a replacement?
Thanks

I made a bench for you, you can compare this, it really looks slow on your side. Did you ever did a complete wipe of your phone and a fresh clean install ??? I'm using the 64gb model too, with the 8.1 beta leak.

I did indeed. I have done many wipes from inside android and even from the bootloader. I've also done clean installs on both oreo and nougat. It does look like a hardware problem to me, which is not good, since it's my only phone :crying:
Stock april 8.0 without any modifications

Use your warranty before it's dying completely.
I have the same problem , everything was working fine. One day suddenly all apps started crashing, i thought it was probably some malaware or some app.
I flashed all except storage, factory reset but to no avail. The UI crashes all the time , even flashing via fastboot takes so much of time.
I had unlocked bootloader. I just hope my phone is in warranty??
any updates on your phone mate?

I don't really have any updates. I am trying to convince the people I got it from that this is a problem and I need a replacement, but they seem hesitant. I am still using it, and its slower every day. Use your warranty as fast as you can. I tried to do many things, including wiping everything, every partition, and also doing a disk check and everything. I have no idea if that's a fixable problem. And I am surprised I can't find any more information on this, as it looks like it happens to more people.
same issue here. last month it started to crash and did a factory reset. at first i thought it might be my sdcard but took it out and same slowly - close to unusable. apps constantly crashes now and then. restarting phone is extremely slow. keyboard and scroll lags. this is not custom rom, i am using official android 8.0.0 from xiami.
Did you try to trim the memory with fstrim app? Maybe it's a trim issue?
Better use your warranty to replace eMMC ASAP

I am pretty sure android 5+ does trim automatically. Maybe not that often, but I was forced to use the phone for over 2 months with the slow storage, in which I did several factory resets as well as installed custom roms to try and make it usable for the time being. No matter what, benchmarks were always the same. I would expect android to trim the storage at least once during that time period.
I'm convinced Xiaomi have unintentionally slowed the phone down and made it more laggy in recent updates. Like you, the phone can be mega laggy sometimes. Or I click on browser links and it takes 2 seconds to respond. Other times the phone flies. It's very inconsistent. I think Xiaomi have very poor quality control when testing their rom updates.

2 seconds? those are rookie numbers Opening apps on my A1 can take 10-20 seconds for apps to fully open. Especially Spotify, takes around 1 minute to open and allow me to use it without it lagging like its about to crash. I don't think xiaomi is messing with it as much as you might think. Maybe you have other things slowing down your phone. The problem I am discussing here is a hardware problem and not a software one. You can check for yourself if you are suffering from it by running the Androbench benchmark and comparing your results to the mine.

Off topic: I had Galaxy 3 back in days (2010 to 2012), Just want to thank you for your Rom and other project for Galaxy 3. Hope you are doing great, Thankyou for you support, God bless you.
So, have the same problem... I bought a phone in the summer from another owner. On standard ROM (8.1), the phone lagged and freezing. Full factory reset or wiping in twrp didn't solve the problem. Tried all the custom, but lags appeared after a while. The decision was to switch to treble-rom, freezing for the most part are gone. Then I tried to flash in test-point mode with disassembly the phone, but freezing remained. Now I formatted memory in f2fs and install pixel experience 9.0 with moun kernel and lagged and freeze are gone. Apps open quickly and i didn't noticed other problem. But in Bench I have similar slow speed results...
humm is there anyway to identify the memory controller/manufacturer/type? this may help to identify the problem
1. Dial the following code to get service menu * # * # 64663 # * # *
2. Tap the first item, version information
3. Scroll down to emmc
Mine says Samsung as in the screenshot.

Strange behavior of the smartphone. After installing PE and formatting in f2fs, the laggy and freezing really disappeared. Previously, during this time, something would definitely appear...

I would like to do it, but without the service menu I don't know how I can find out it without disassembling the phone ... Maybe you know the way, how I can check this info? Cpu-z and Aida didn't show it.
I'm not sure if it's my device or an OS update or what. For whatever reason, apps just don't seem to be able to stay running in the background on my OP5. Doesn't matter what kind of app it is, but whenever I to switch to it using the recent's list or pressing the icon, they almost always seem to start up as if they haven't been opened yet. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. I'm running the lastest OS version and have also factory reset my phone as well as removed a bunch of unused apps and photos.
The thing is my first device didn't have this problem. But I had a hardware issue and my phone was replaced. But about the same time I got my replacement phone, I also had a major OS upgrade occur. So I'm not sure if my replacement device has some sort of defect, or it's just a normal thing that happens now.
Also, on top of apps always starting up from scratch every single time no matter how long it's been since I just used them; now I'm finding apps disappearing from my recently used list! WTF is going on???
I have all optimizations disabled as much as I can, I've deleted a ton of apps and photos to make sure I'm not running out of memory. Yet this phone is still acting very weirdly.
I've searched and used some "memory testers" that I've found in the Play store and they say everything is fine. But I'm not confident they are actually testing the memory or system properly.
Help please!!

But I have been having these issues for the better part of a year, well before I got the Pie update. Granted, Pie has made it much worse, but it's been going on for a very long time now. And it seems to be getting much worse as time goes by.

There is no solution for this. Maybe you can try a custom kernel. Apps killed in background is a normal thing for OnePlus.

You can see this article
This is beyond acceptable now. Apps are being closed while I have them open and are using them! It's different apps, different types of apps, random times, nothing to connect them. Is there anything at all that I can do?
The wait is OVER! T-Mobile OnePlus 8 5G Android 11 update has been released (well to select few with issues for sure). This is not official but I can confirm that I do infact have it. No root. Yes I am unlocked and came from Sprint but that played no part in the Update I received.

Go ahead and check now. I was a former Sprint - Tmobile Failed TNX Transfer. After months of being told complete nonsense, they proactively called me, troubleshot and without notice I checked again and there it was. This could be a TS Procedure, however, see attached Screenshots and I believe everyone will see it Feb 2-4th. My experience as one of the initial transfers has been anything but smooth. However, I commend their Customer Service and their Tech SUpport for owning the issue and this may have saved me as a customer. Mind you I will absolutely not buy from them again, however, I will sell this oneplus 8 5g that is unlocked for the 8t/8Pro or 9 Pro unlocked and stick with them for the outstanding customer service!
AOD doesn't have the all day function like global does, modem cant switch from 5g to 4g without a reboot or airplane mode toggle, wifi calling works when if "feels" like it.
@esjames so just to confirm are you saying that you're having issues with the automatic transition from 5G to 4G or vice versa? Cuz that would be a very big problem for me especially since I am 99% of my time on my home Wi-Fi and have been missing calls ever since doing the upgrade. Can you confirm that if I do do a global conversion will that result in error and if so do you happen to have a guide on how to convert from Android 11?
Thank you in advance.
It doesn't appear to have AOD? that's the one feature I wanted. Ugh
I went and got the iphone 12 pro yesterday, and yes "all day" aod isnt there and 4g-5g switching works only sometimes. Got tired of it dropping signal. Global firmware doesnt have stand alone 5g but at least it didnt drop signal.
Missing features aside (it seems several releases back from what I'm seeing in OnePlus' forums, where several devices are on 11.0.3.3 and 11.0.5 is in beta testing) how is it overall? Stability, battery life, Android Auto, etc?
Most says beta 5 is more stable than the stable release. The global release is pretty good. Battery life kinda sucks though
Are you guys having issues with YouTube and twitch mini screen hiding on the bottom of the screen and not appearing on recent apps?

I like with the exemption of YouTube and maps mini floating screen disappearing
I'm not too thrilled with the update. Very laggy and buggy, wiped cashed data and it seems to have helped.... Slightly. Missing some text after a little while I'll get 3-4 all at the same time. I'm going to unlock and throw rhe international version on it very soon.
My first test of Android Auto in the truck was not great. At first everything seemed fine, but it got extremely slow after checking out 3 or 4 apps. I'll clear cache on related apps and see if that helps. The phone itself has been fine so far.
So first real test of Google navigation on AA today, and it wasn't good. When I searched for a place and selected directions, it showed three options, but the routes were not highlighted on the selection screen or while navigating, no matter how many times I closed the app and re-did the search. Finally I gave up and used Waze, which worked fine. I tried Google Maps again partway through, and that time it showed the route, but I cancelled it. When I got where I was going and unplugged the phone, it was very warm and there was a temperature warning - actually it said device temperature was back to the safe range. It's never done that before. Also the phone still had a persistent navigation notification shown that didn't want to go away. I am really disappointed right now. Normally I would also stream music while navigating, but didn't this time, and it still made the phone really warm on top of the other issues.
I don't care for the update either. Has crazy lag with screen transitions. Android Auto works fine for me. Freezes up when phone screen is left on. Turn off phone screen and android auto is responsive again. Did notice the missing navigation route issue once or twice. Forgot how I solved it but it's working now.
Otherwise just got the update yesterday. I will also say I think the maps issue is the actual maps app. Mine did it on android 10 not 11.
Also keyboard has round corners now?
Ever since I've updated there has been a problem with texting and I'm hoping someone might have an answer.
After I updated I noticed I could receive group text but my one on one text don't arrive (and I have timed it 15 20 minutes later.
I tried different texting apps (I use Textra) but nothing changed.
I did a factory reset and nothing changed
I called T Mobile and replaced sim card and after talking to technicians - nothing changed
I've changed settings and texting apps again - nothing changed.
Can anyone help?
I cannot get one on one text or app verification codes quick enough to install certain apps but I can still receive group maeesages quickly.
Am I the only one have trouble connecting in FlashMode? No matter what I've tried, debugging on, debugging off, the "Adb devices" command doesn't see a da** thing. I could've sworn I had connect to this phone with the android 10 version.
BTW, I had to laugh, 'cause it took me a minute to find the Flashmode option in the new Power menu. They sort of hid it.
Just wondering because I've been trying all afternoon. Probably just something stupid I'm doing but I gotta get this going so I can debloat thing. This rom is so loaded with bloatware, it's crazy. After I got finished paring down all the Sprint apps that were on my LG V50 it weighed about 5lb less and this one's is way worse.

nope. just february patch with bug fixes.
Still no AOD, pathetic. Who do we complain to - Tmobile or OnePlus?
Things have been better since I cleared the cache from the recovery menu. I don't remember the phone charging at only 1A in the car before. Seems to be the same whether I use Android Auto through the radio's USB port or my car charger. I guess the OnePlus 8 doesn't support Quickcharge?
