OnePlus will soon unveil the OnePlus 8T to pick up from where the OnePlus 7T left off a year ago. It has become tradition for the T series devices to come around such a time in the year, so it’s not a surprise its happening again this year.
It’s also not a surprise that OnePlus will equip the 8T with OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box. A lot has been said about this new OS already, more so with respect to OnePlus devices. Check out some of it here.
Perhaps for those just coming from a cave, it is news that OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are already testing Android 11 publicly ahead of the stable rollout sometime later this month or maybe in October.
Most existing OnePlus devices are eligible for the update to OxygenOS 11, but the likes of OnePlus 5/5T and older models will be left out. This shouldn’t be a problem, though, at least for fans of custom ROMs.
But before OxygenOS 11 comes around, OnePlus still has some issues to deal with as far as OxygenOS 10 is concerned. Users of various devices have raised concerns over a bunch of annoying bugs and issues they face regularly.
Being a listening company, OnePlus has taken to the official community forums to address these issues. Apparently, a good number has been fixed and only waiting for the bug-fixing update to be deployed.
Below are the responses OnePlus has provided with respect to some of the bugs and issues affecting various devices on OxygenOS 10, which is based on the outgoing Android 10 OS.
If experiencing poor audio quality when using OnePlus Buds, the company says optimizations have already been added to the latest OnePlus Buds app version V2.8.2.0, so be sure to update the app.
Apparently, the occasional screen flickers experienced on OnePlus 5 and newer devices is a Google issue. A fix is part of the update to Google Android WebView version 85.0.4183.101, so be sure you are running this version or above.
Issues related to Hidden Space icons when apps are added and where angles of OnePlus drawer and screen do not match have also been addressed in the latest OnePlus Launcher update, which can be obtained via the Google Play Store.
The bug where users would get the error “Unable to edit” when editing a video in the Gallery app has also been addressed and a fix is coming as part of the next OxygenOS 10 updates.
But as you wait, you can fix the issue temporarily by setting the screen recording frame to anything under 60fps.
OnePlus Nord users experiencing duplicate contacts issue should try merging the duplicates to address the problem. On the other hand, those with blurry photos can expect improvements in the next updates.
Q: The photos taken on OnePlus Nord come out blurry sometimes. A: Here’s a small tip: Please be steady and avoid movement while taking photos. This will help improve the photo clarity and quality. In the meantime, we will continuously optimize the shooting experience under dark settings, as well as the stabilization effect. The update will be pushed out in later versions.
The latest OxygenOS 10 Open Beta updates for OnePlus 7 and 7T series should address the above issues, although the wait for the same fixes to hit the stable channel could take several weeks from now.
