Android 11 has been out for about three months now and OnePlus was among the first OEMs to have a stable build of their own Android 11-based custom Android skin in form of OxygenOS 11.
The Android 11 skin has since been rolled out to the OnePlus 8 series of devices and it came preinstalled on the OnePlus 8T.
OxygenOS 11 was a drastic change from previous iterations of the same (OxygenOS 10 and OxygenOS 9) which stuck close to stock Android look and feel.
That said, the new and extensive changes might have brought a lot of uninvited visitors as well since users of OnePlus 8T have been endlessly complaining of bugs and issues with their devices.
We’ve done our best to keep track of all these bugs and issues and you can check out our OxygenOS 11 bugs and issues as well as OnePlus 8T bug tracker for more.
And the hits just keep coming. This, as users of the OnePlus 8T are reporting issues with their devices surrounding gameplay.
According to affected users, the OnePlus 8T gets a grey bar on top of the screen when playing games. The same seems to be affecting users when using YouTube stories as well.
Since then, the issue has been brought to the attention of OnePlus, and in response to one of the user complaints, a OnePlus staff member goes to notify affected users that the OnePlus 8T grey bar in games issue has been forwarded to the relevant teams.
Another reported issue on the OnePlus 8T has to do with the signature OnePlus Games app on the device. According to some of the affected users, the screen fails to rotate to landscape, causing games to launch incorrectly.
According to a staff member, OnePlus is aware of this issue and is working on it. In a response to the user complaint, he says:
Other OnePlus 8T issues that have since been brought to the attention of the company include a bug with the volume settings on the device and an error with Android Auto.
As mentioned, this Android Auto issue has been brought to the attention of OnePlus and a staff member has confirmed that this is being looked into.
A section of OnePlus 8T users also note that their devices glitch out sometimes as the volume panel fails to appear when invoked using the volume rockers.
Additionally, these affected users note that in the events that the volume panels show up, they don’t indicate the correct volume level.
OnePlus has since been notified of this issue and a staff member has since come out to acknowledge the issue, notifying affected users that their complaints are being looked into.
These are one too many issues that OnePlus 8T users have to deal with. It remains unclear why this is the case and while these have been attributed to the new OxygenOS 11, OnePlus needs to fix them all as soon as possible.
