OnePlus was at one time a company that looked to be turning into the update king of Android. Since expanding their line-up of phones in recent years, I’m not sure they are still on that trajectory, but they have continued to push regular updates to their best phones. Today, the OnePlus 8T, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OnePlus 8 are all getting fresh builds.
For all three phones, the updates aren’t necessarily providing a bunch of new features, but they are fixing and optimizing a lot of stuff. OnePlus has taken care of a noise issue when using 5G, a Twitter freeze-up bug, the experience when taking long screenshots, and more. They also tossed in the January Android security patch.
The full list of changes can be seen below, and yes, it really is the exact same set of fixes and optimizations for the three phones, even with the 8T being its own series:
- System
- Optimized the experience of using long screenshots
- Optimized the UI display effect of the notification bar
- Improve the stuttering problem of some tripartite applications
- Fixed the small probability issue that Twitter may freeze
- Fixed the issue that opening app split-screen may fail
- Fixed the issue of failure to switch the accent color in a small probability
- Fixed the inaccurate display of the attribution of some numbers
- Fixed known issues and improved system stability
- Updated Android security patch to 2021.01
- Gallery
- Fixed the issue that the video cannot be played in a small probability
- Network
- Fixed the noise issue of 5G calls
If you own a OnePlus 8 or OnePlus 8 Pro, be on the lookout for OxygenOS 11.0.4.4. If you own the OnePlus 8T, your build is 11.0.7.9 in India and North America, or 11.0.7.10 for Europe.
OnePlus tends to slow roll these updates out over several days, so try not to freak out if you don’t see it until next week.
// Changelogs: OnePlus 8T | OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro
Just wanted to comment I was able to pull it this morning on my 8T. I’m on Google Fi (t-mo).
Hope they re-fix auto brightness on OP8. It originally was messed up, then they fixed it, then 11.0.2.2 messed it up again àrrggh. Unlike the pixel devices where they leave it to the user to determine the auto brightness they want, OP likes to think they know better what your brightness should be rather than the user. Sound familiar? :p
Have they fixed the RTT calling issue on verizon? Just like the RTT issue the 6 had on t-mobile? Never buying one again. Another known issue…
Still face constant issue of my system reverting back to OnePlus Launcher. I probably set Nova Launcher as the default twice a day. They are aware it is a known issue but choose not to fix it. Not to mention I’m unable to receive half of the messages in a group message. Forums show to get a new sim card. This did actually work for about a week and then boom all of the sudden I’m unable to download message again. Only happens in group messages on Android messaging. Not sure if this is chat features not playing nicely with others in the group that haven’t updated but from what I understand it’s specifically a OP 8 pro with Verizon issue.
Darn Verizon ????
Wait- I’m having that same issue downloading messages on T-mobile- but I’ve recently been switching back to my carrier # after using Google Voice and thought that it was just an Android Messages problem; it’s my OP8pro?
Good call on the sim card, I guess I can try that, usually toggling off Wifi to download them on 5G works, but it’s annoying.
Same issue here with my OP 8 Pro on Verizon. I wonder if messages won’t download at times since we have to be CDMA-less with this phone on Verizon? I also hope this update fixes OP’s Do Not Disturb malfunction (on a schedule, sometimes it’ll work and sometimes it won’t). May be my first and last OP phone.
