| 2 Years with the OnePlus 7 Pro - An In-Depth OnePlus/Android Review Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:22 PM PDT I'd like to preface this by saying I'd previously been using iPhone since 2013 and had been well integrated in the Apple ecosystem (iPad, iPhone, Mac, and later, AirPods and AppleTV) since 2010 with the launch of the original iPad. I switched to OnePlus/Android in 2019 with the launch of the 7 Pro and have been using it as my daily driver since. Therefore, I have very little experience with any of the iPhones or iOS features that have been released in the past two years, but I will do my best to inform myself when necessary. I had also migrated most of my desktop usage to Windows around the same time, but still regularly use Mac when travelling. This will not be a comparison between Mac and Windows by any means, but a few sentences here and there may pop up regarding this when necessary.
This review is meant to go as in-depth and unbiased as possible and cover an extremely wide range of topics that I see many of the popular reviewers overlook, whether intentionally or due to simply not being able to use the phone for long enough. Rather than looking like a spec-sheet with a few bits of commentary here and there, I'm looking to describe what using this phone daily for the past two years has been like. Ideally this would serve to guide anyone whose either interested in switching from iOS to Android or upgrading to a OnePlus phone from an existing Android device.
My current components in most of my workflow/daily life are:
While I've broken down this review into several categories, there will be a lot of overlap as many issues pertain to multiple categories. Categories are as follows:
IntroductionI originally switched to Android after becoming increasingly frustrated the lack of features with Apple's newest offerings of phones year after year. That coupled with the high price, and my nearly 4 year old iPhone 6S at its limits (which had had its battery replaced twice and was still barely holding a charge especially in cold weather) made me seriously start to consider an Android phone. I had seen great reviews of the OnePlus 7 Pro and the price seemed to be great value so in 2019, I upgraded. I'm currently using the T-Mobile variant (not sure if it was even offered with other carriers), in the black color, 8GB RAM + 256 GB storage. Currently running Oxygen OS 11.0.1.3 (Android 11).
Build Quality/FeelThe build quality of the phone is great, and at $700, seems to be on par with most other flagship Android devices of similar design. Waterproofing has been great, and I've never had any issues with water damage, even after running it under a sink countless times to clean it. I've never liked phones with glass/glossy backs, as they are absolute finger-print magnets, and this phone is no different, but I have been using this phone with a case since week 1, so it has been largely a non-issue. The phone is built well and with a case on, I've never had issues with deep scratches on the screen (unless you're ultra-careful, light ones are inevitable). The reason I've been using a case is because the phone is just so terribly designed ergonomically. Not only does the phone feature a curved screen on the front, the back is also symmetrically curved, making the edges rather sharp and quite uncomfortable to hold. Additionally, the amount of glass that is so near the sides makes dropping it a huge concern, further requiring a case. This has proven to be a small issue 2 years into ownership as it has become increasingly difficult to find 3rd party cases – something I had taken for granted on an iPhone. There are a few options here and there, but if you are looking for something specific, whether it be looks or functionality, you may be out of luck.
DisplayContinuing directly with the need for a case, an equally large reason is the lack of palm rejection built into the phone. The curved edges means that in nearly every orientation that you hold the phone, you are bound to have accidental presses. This occurs even more frequently when you are using it one-handed, and need to stretch and reach across the large screen to press something. Even with phones being so large for so many years now, it is quite evident that the large majority of apps (even stock apps) on Android are not optimized for one-handed use. A huge example of this is the YouTube app. YouTube's video player has the very handy feature of being able to double tap the left and right sides to forward or rewind the video by 5 second increments. However, using the phone without a case, I have found that my palm will very, very frequently be registered not only as a tap but as several dozens. This results in the video being forwarded or rewinded, depending on which side of the phone you're holding, by minutes within the span of less than a second. Needless to say, this is extremely frustrating. Using a case reduces the chances of this happening, but unless your case has very raised edges, this still happens here and there. While this may not seem like a huge issue, when combined with the frequent accidental presses, it makes it quite the deal-breaker for me and I will likely never purchase a phone with curved edges again (which seems to be the norm for most new flagship devices). I see reviews constantly saying these phones are not recommended for people with small hands. I'm inclined to believe they shouldn't be recommended for people with hands at all. As a quick reference, my hands measure from the bottom of my palm to the top of my middle finger, 8", and outstretched from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky 9.75". I've compiled a series of images depicting common instances where holding your phone would trigger an accidental touch, marked by a red circle at the location of the touch. You judge for yourself. On the other hand, the display itself is absolutely wonderful to look at. With the pop-up camera, I get a huge, fullscreen display, devoid of any notches, and this makes browsing content largely a pleasure. The OLED panel means the blacks are truly black, and the other colors are very vibrant, and actually passably similar (for a phone) to my color-calibrated monitor, when viewing photos. The "QHD" (3120x1440) resolution is great and so is the 90HZ refresh rate. I have however turned both of these off to increase my battery life. My other settings are "Screen Calibration – Advanced – Display P3 - ~70% on the warmth slider – Vibrant Color Effect off". The in-screen fingerprint reader works flawlessly and I'm not sure why Apple is still lagging behind in this regard.
Battery Life/ChargingBattery life has been solid since I've received it, and has obviously declined due to the nature of lithium-ion cells. Currently, my battery reads a 3286 mAh, down from the original 4000. Not great, but immensely better than my iPhone 6S which needed a battery replacement near the 2 year mark. On average, I can still get about a day's usage out of a single charge, and about 4-ish hours of constant screen-on time. Charging has been very fast with the 30 watt charger – but painfully slow with almost everything else. The original cable has also disintegrated near the tips, somehow fairing worse than Apple's cheap usb-lightning cables. OnePlus uses some sort of proprietary fast charging brick + usb cable combo. I wasn't able to get fast charging with any sort of combination of usb cables or other fast chargers I have around in my house. After hearing so much about "breaking free of the Apple walled garden", this seems like a punch in the gut. Not to mention, the official cables/power brick were sold out on OnePlus's website during the time I needed to replace them, which didn't help. The phone does get hot while charging – something that I had never noticed on my previous phones. It's not a complaint by any means, but it is worth pointing out. One other thing to point out is that OnePlus occasionally will not charge my phone past 80%, even with the setting turned off. If I'm near my phone, and notice it, I can click on the pop-up and it will continue charging. However, if I don't pay attention until I grab my phone when I'm about to head out, I will be stuck with a phone missing a fifth of its battery charge – which with only 4-5 hours of screen-on time is almost an hour off the battery life.
CameraBeing an amateur photographer, I had high hopes of finally upgrading my phone camera for the times when I don't have my DSLR on hand. I'm going to start off by saying that the 7 Pro's camera seems technically quite capable. Optical-Image Stabilization and Laser AF means that the vast majority of my shots are crisply in focus, and focused accurately. The catch? Only during the daytime. Outdoors. When its sunny. This is not a high bar to pass. Anytime the camera does not see sunlight, it struggles greatly. This is even the case in a brightly lit indoor room. The focus misses occasionally, and the details quickly disappear. This issue is exemplified with OnePlus's absolutely terrible image processing. Oversaturated, oversharpened, contrast boosted. I shoot with all the post-processing settings turned off in app, and even when switching to the Pro mode, and shooting RAW, I still found my photos to be unacceptably oversharpened. The camera software almost always appears to be exposing for the shadows, so much so that nearly every photo is unacceptably overexposed. There is rarely a time when I can just open the camera app and snap a photo and have it coming out looking decent. The bulk of these issues seems to stem from OnePlus's image processing, and switching to the Google Camera apk has always proved to be a bug-ridden mess. However, I also think a big issue is the fact that so many smart phone manufacturers seem so tunneled on cramming as many megapixels into their cameras as possible. This is nothing but pure marketing, and any amount of research would have quickly informed them that more =/= better. Especially on smartphones, where most of the photos being shared are done so on social media – and then viewed on other smartphones. There is absolutely no reason to sacrifice low-light performance for high resolution files on a smartphone – especially with the limited storage that you do have. I realize that OnePlus has not been known for their camera performance, but also know that they have been "trying to improve". High megapixel, and making fancy branding deals with Hasselblad as they are doing now is not the move. Even Nikon's flagship high-resolution mirrorless camera has 3 less megapixels, and that's on a full frame sensor that is magnitudes larger than the one on a smartphone camera. I also have to mention that the triple-camera (telephoto, normal, wide-angle) setup on the 7 Pro is also very disappointing. There is almost no color or detail continuity between each lens. Furthermore the image stabilization on the telephoto lens is cartoonishly bad, and cause a ton of stuttering and jittery motion while trying to film anything.
Photo Software on OxygenOS/AndroidThe aforementioned issues are made worse with the absolutely terrible photo library management software that OxygenOS comes with. It is inexplicably bad. This was evident on day 1, while importing the photos I had on my iPhone. All the EXIF data was somehow not transferred, and 4 years' worth of photos and videos now displayed as all having been taken on the same exact day. Frustrating, but not really a deal breaker – they were old photos, and there are many other ways to back those photos up. However, the actual photo library app on OnePlus is more of an issue. Opening it up does not display your most recent photos. Rather it shows some random images from a couple months ago, before taking 10 seconds to finally load your most recent ones. Closing the app, and reopening it again, and you are back to seeing old photos while waiting for your new ones to load. Apparently, out of all the things your phone wants to cache, this is not one of them. Android's file system is also a headache when it comes to photo management. Photos downloaded from some apps show up in your camera roll, others don't. They are buried in a random folder that the app has created in your file system. It's also not clear how to quickly transfer them to your camera roll, as you would have to do so via the file system. A quicker alternative would simply be sharing that photo to an app that you do know will show up in the camera roll, and then redownloading it from there. OnePlus's photo library app is also frustrating to organize. Open any photo in the "All Photos and Videos" folder, and you will be finding it impossible to locate the add to an album button. It doesn't exist. Only if you manage to find the photo in some other folder will that button be visible. In fact, OnePlus doesn't even appear to actually have a real "add to album" feature. For example, if you screenshot something, it will appear in your screenshots album. If you decide to add it to an album, it will then promptly move to said album, and disappear from the screenshots one. On a pc, this might make sense, but on a phone, a library/gallery app should not be a skin for a file system. I've been largely using Google's photos app as a replacement for OnePlus's photo library app, but even that has some issues when trying to share photos via other apps. Additionally, it has some pretty counter-intuitive designs. For example, say you have an album with a couple of old photos from years ago. You want to share one with a friend, but realize it has some sensitive information on it. You go and crop it out, and then you try and share it, only to find that the edited photo has saved as a copy, and is not automatically placed in the same album. You then have to sift through your entire photo collection to find that specific photo before being able to share it. It's also important to realize how this affects third party photo editing apps or the sharing of photos on social media. Because the "All Photos and Videos" is not actually a folder, it is extremely annoying to import photos into apps. I'm not exactly sure how to explain this as I still have almost no clue how
SpeedI'll keep this short. I am not a mobile gamer, and for everything else, the phone has been perfectly fast enough. I am using a KLWP wallpaper skin on Nova launcher with a large number of elements, and have not seen any lag. App switching is usually quick and seamless. Other than the aforementioned photo gallery issues, speed has not been a concern for me.
OxygenOS – GeneralI was used to receiving yearly software updates for major software releases when I was on iPhone. This has not been the case with OnePlus. Not only are they massively delayed, they also appear to roll out to users in batches for reasons unknown. I finally was able to upgrade my phone to Android 11 this April, and funnily enough it was against my will. On OxygenOS 10, one of the absolute most annoying features was the keyboard. When using Navigation Gestures (bottom), there would be a ridiculously large gap under the on-screen keyboard. This affected all keyboards, including GBoard and other third-party keyboards. There are countless threads on OnePlus's forums concerning this, here is an example: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/gap-under-the-keyboard.1099280/ If it was just a gap, I would be to live with it. However, the issue is that if you press any space in the gap, your keyboard will close and your text entry will be deleted. This is extremely frustrating, when for example, you are searching something or typing out a URL on Chrome. As you go to hit enter, you can frequently miss the key by a fraction of a millimeter, and hit the gap. Your entire entry will be cleared, and you will be stuck staring at your screen like a dumbass. Comments on the forums seem split on two things: Whether this is a "feature" or not, and whether this is a OnePlus issue or an Android issue. Whether or not OnePlus regards this as a feature is irrelevant and there is no reason not to have a toggle for this. And while this is technically an Android issue, it does not excuse OnePlus as Samsung's One UI has an ability to remove the gap when using bottom navigation gestures. Switching to navigation gestures (left and right) on OnePlus does not remove the gap, but removes the issue of it being tappable. However, this is not a viable solution for me as I'm using FNG side gestures as a replacement for the terrible OxygenOS gestures and they conflict one another. This is such a blatant issue that I've never seen a single reviewer cover, and is one of the main reasons why I absolutely cannot recommend a OnePlus phone. This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to upgrade to Android 11, as I heard the issue would be resolved (the gap is still there, but it is currently no longer tappable). However, around the same time OnePlus began rolling out its OxygenOS 11 updates, I had stumbled across several forums saying how their phones had gotten bricked. For that reason, I decided to hold off on updating until it was fixed. A couple days later, I was out and had to use my phone until the battery died. After I get home and plug my phone back in, I find that my phone had updated by itself since letting the phone die, and then turning it back on counted as a "restart". Apparently this is a setting that can be toggled, and is set to on as default, but buried deep in the settings menu, and never once noted to the user. Okay fine, my phone is now on Android 11, let's see if the keyboard issue is fixed. Lo and behold, my phone is very quickly "bricked". After powering on, it would randomly crash and reboot after 5-10 seconds, before doing it again, over and over. I was now stuck with an unusable phone. Contacting support was not helpful and it wasn't only until after a couple hours of digging through forums was I able to find a solution. Turns out having apps that aren't compatible with Android 11 would cause the phone to be bricked. On top of this, OxygenOS seems to seriously be lacking in system-wide customization options compared to its competitors. There is no option to clear up the clutter on your status bar – it's constantly cluttered with notifications. Samsung has this feature. There is no always-on display, although I do not particularly care for this. There is no option to turn off the album art of your currently play song as being stretched across your lock screen. The settings app is a clusterfuck to navigate, and even slower to search for particular settings in. You can only add up to 5 fingerprints – for those that care. I still constantly get notifications for "Zen Mode" despite doing my best to disable everything regarding that app. There is no way to sort notifications in your pull-down menu. The settings app is never cached – meaning if you switch apps, and switch back, you're stuck back at the main settings page. The list goes on – nitpicky to some but an absolute dealbreaker for many.
Android 10 – GeneralRegarding notifications, I'm not sure if this is an Android-wide issue, or simply a OnePlus one. The inability to sort notifications by most recent is beyond incomprehensible. Unless you're the type of person who constantly clears all your notifications, you will often find your phone vibrating in your pocket, and upon pulling it out and checking your notifications, you have absolutely no idea what it was. A workaround is to create a shortcut on your homepage linking to the notification log inside your phone's settings page – if you can find it. There you'll be able to check notifications sorted by most recent. Other than that, Android 10 had been absolutely fantastic. The ability to customize your home screen to the finest details, animations, etc. with apps like Nova Launcher and KLWP made my phone feel truly unique – something I never experienced before on iOS. I'll touch on this later, but media consumption has also been largely a fantastic experience. The amount of unique apps that let you customize your UX like FNG are awesome. Having a file system is pretty great as well (other than for photos), and makes me really feel like having a fully featured productivity device. The option to create custom shortcuts to specific app actions lets me do things like being able to control the lights with just a tap on my home screen which is great. Having the ability to have third party adblockers like AdGuard is also fantastic for internet browsing. Another thing to point out – and this is only half Android's fault – is that you cannot use a system adblocker on top of a VPN. I have NordVPN, and their built in adblocker sucks. However, I have to choose between AdGuard's adblocker – which like the thousands of other adblockers out there, functions as you'd expect it it – and running a VPN. I picked the former. I don't really have the patience or time to go around trying out other VPN's as this isn't really an issue for me since the main reason I got a VPN was for my desktop. Just a thing to note though. Even just having the ability to have a system-wide adblock for browsing is more than enough for me. The only downsides would have to be the terrible camera support from third party apps such as Instagram. Due to there being so many Android phones out there, Instagram does not actually support your phone's camera. From my understanding, it essentially takes a screen recording/snapshot of what your camera is showing which results in noticeably worse quality photos and videos. Additionally, as neither I nor most of my friends or coworkers use texting (SMS) as our main form of communication, that dreaded "green iMessage" problem has not been an issue for me. Overall, the only thing I can firmly say I miss about iOS would be its camera processing, Instagram support, and photo gallery organization. And also how notifications are handled.
Android 11 – GeneralOh man, Android 11. The ability to be able to quickly control all your smart devices without having to mess around with shortcuts is great – although it never really bothered me in the first place. Besides this and the fix for the keyboard gap, I really can't notice any other improvements. The new bubble's system is worse than Facebook Messenger's own integration, and now you only have the option of using Android's version or none at all. Grouping all my conversation notifications at the top is actually a step backwards – there still is no way to sort them by most recent. And by far the most annoying thing is that Android 11 seems to have disabled ANT+ connectivity. I use ANT+ for my powermeter on my bicycle, connected to my phone via IpBike. I don't ride nearly as frequently as I should to justify having a dedicated cycling computer, and that setup had worked just as well as any cycling computer would minus having a fancy display to look at. Now it's nothing more than a paperweight. At the moment, I don't think I can recommend anyone who is currently on Android 10 and relies on ANT+ in any capacity to upgrade to 11. That coupled with the potential to brick your phone due to incompatibility definitely makes it a no go in my book.
Android CustomizationAs stated before, Android's customization is absolutely amazing and leagues ahead of anything offered on iOS. If you're into these types of things, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Android.
Integration with GoogleAs for integration with Google, being an Android device it has little issues pairing with any of Google's other products (Google Home, chromecast, etc.) Other than that, I don't really see anything that jumps out to me as particularly innovative. On the software side, the Chrome integration is still lagging behind what other browsers are offering. A password manager is about as far as it gets with well-integrated and bug free implementation. There's no clipboard continuity, ability to share images or files, seamlessly switch between desktop and mobile browsing. The lack of a serious Airdrop competitor is quite frustrating at times, but there are always some alternatives if you look hard enough.
Integration with Windows 10I'll also keep this short. Other than the aforementioned lack of integration with Chrome on the desktop, there's not much else to talk about. Windows 10 has a phone companion app which lets me see all my phone notifications on my desktop, as well as receive (but not send) photos from my phone to my PC. I can also read and reply to text messages, which is handy the few times I do need to.
Audio/Audio AccessoriesHaving no headphone jack, I was forced to purchase a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. The DAC's in these tiny dongles are pretty abysmal, and if I recall correctly, the first one I bought wasn't even compatible for some reason. I also wasn't able to get USB Audio Player PRO to work with any of these dongles either. I occasionally see some reviewers praise smartphone speakers for having "deep, rich, and clear sound". https://www.cnet.com/reviews/oneplus-7-pro-value-camera-update-waterproof-test-review/ For a smartphone, I could say they sound decent for what they are, good even. But saying the "audio was clear and rich, with lots of depth and range" sounds like borderline marketing BS to me. Other than that, the 7 Pro offers a very, very basic EQ. It has 10-bands, but no marking of what frequency each band is, leaving you guessing out of your ass. There's also several V-shaped "presets" that apply on top of your EQ. Integration with my Galaxy Buds Live has been decently seamless, but after updating to Android 11, I've noticed hiccups a lot more frequently.
Connectivity (WiFi/Bluetooth/ANT+/GPS)Regarding WiFi and Bluetooth, it generally seems to perform as expected. However, even with OnePlus's version of intelligent WiFi control enabled, my phone still seems to really want to grasp onto my home's WiFi, even when I'm far enough away from my house that I essentially get no WiFi signal. ANT+ being disabled is, again, a major disappoint. However, on Android 10, it worked perfectly fine on both my powermeter and my home trainer. Regarding GPS, I've noticed that it appears to be a lot less precise than that of my iPhone. Whether it's going on bike rides, runs, walks, or even using it for navigation whilst driving, I've noticed that the positioning is never smooth even if I were moving in a straight line.
Use as a Fitness DeviceHaving previously used an iPhone 6S, I was originally really excited to move up to a much bigger and better screen. I still love it, but as a fitness device, its unwieldiness becomes very apparent. Additionally, with the wacky GPS performance, I've gotten the occasional inconsistencies regarding routes on Strava.
CallingCall quality was clear and rich, with lots of depth and range. Jokes aside, it's a phone and calling works as I'd expect it to. No complaints here.
Media ConsumptionMedia consumption is absolutely fantastic on Android. With the ability to use apps like YouTube Vanced (which if you aren't already, I'd highly recommend doing so), I don't think I could ever go back to having an ad-filled YouTube experience on iOS. Additionally, most apps have the ability to scale the video you're watching to full screen, which is wonderful on the notchless 7 Pro. A tip for those who occasionally consume movies on your browser, but find that the black bars and lack of any zoom functions when viewing videos full screen essentially means you're watching a shrunken video – download Samsung Internet Browser. It has an in-app video player that needs to be toggled on in the settings. It is by far the best video player I've ever used in any browser, and has the ability to swipe to control brightness, volume, and even precise fast-forwarding and rewinding. The only thing missing is subtitle support on some websites.
Integration with Apple Products/AccessoriesThe only thing I'll put here is that Android does not work well with AirPods. You can't see their battery level for some reason, leaving you guessing. Also, there's absolutely no integration with Mac's either, but I'm neither surprised nor bothered by it.
Comparisons with other Android PhonesWhile I'm not usually the type of person who wants to upgrade my phone each year, two years, or like previously, four years, I do still try and keep up to date with new product releases. One thing that has stuck out to me has been Sony's narrower smartphones, the Xperia 5 II/III in particular. Having a narrower smartphone means much better one-hand usability, and the lack of any curved screens only improves it. Sony being a camera manufacturer, and the Xperia series having its own dedicated pro camera and video apps hopefully means that they do see some trickle down benefits from their Alpha department. Other than that, I have to say that the original reason that I picked up a OnePlus was simply because of how much value they seemed to offer over the competition. It seems like the new smartphones these days are climbing in price, year after year. Unless you're seriously on a budget, and really don't mind any of the issues I've laid out here, I don't think I can recommend a OnePlus, despite its surface level value (not to mention that, if I'm not mistaken, OnePlus has also raised their prices). Based on the countless features I come across Samsung phones having when trying to fix an issue on my OnePlus device, I would recommend Samsung. Only downside to their phones is that the minimum font size for their newest devices is ridiculously large. I haven't had much experience with Pixel phones, but they seem to be of great value as well.
Comparisons with iPhone – Aggregated
Comparisons with iOS – AggregatedPlease keep in mind that I have not used an iOS device for a significant period of time since I switched to Android
ConclusionOverall I would say that while my standards may be higher than some, I still really can't recommend any OnePlus phones. I do however highly recommend Android phones if you're the type of person who enjoys customizing your phone, and are also fed up with Apple's lack of modern features. Funny that while bashing on some review sites, I end up at the same conclusion as most of them. I wrote this in my free time over the course of a couple days, and may have missed a couple things or have some errors here and there. Please let me know if there's anything I missed that you'd like to know, or if there's any errors. No TLDR, sorry. For those that got through to the end, thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Which launcher do you use and what have you changed? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 06:15 PM PDT I'm used to the Samsung launcher with its "squircle" icons and its not forced alphabetical app drawer. The microsoft launcher has most of what I want except the app drawer is still forced alphabetical. Apex lets me change that (paid) and gives me the option of "iOS" style folders with 9 icons in them instead of 4, but I can't change the icon shapes, they're always circles. I would much prefer square or squircle. Nova just looks like microsoft launcher with the gestures behind a paywall. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Oneplus 7 Pro cannot access voice memos features Posted: 03 Aug 2021 06:14 PM PDT Hi all, I have had this problem since I got the phone but never thought to ask Reddit. I bought the phone from Swappa and everything looked great, except I cannot do voice memos on Messenger, Instagram, etc; I cannot speak into Google Assistant either. If I video call with other people, the mic does work. I have fiddled with the permissions settings but it does not seem to work. Any advice is appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||
| (Help!) Oneplus 7pro send photos and texts to contacts on its own. Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:19 AM PDT I woke up this morning to discover that my OP 7Pro has randomly messaged some photos from my gallery, along with random words with hashtags (ex: #rc24) to a handful of my contacts. I am lucky that the recipients were my friends and not clients/employees, but this is a very concerning behavior from the phone and has never happened before. Now I'm wondering whether this is an OS glitch or my phone has been compromised by malicious software. Has anyone experienced this before? https://i.imgur.com/a2aZLI7.jpg (proof of texting) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Had the OnePlus 9 Pro for a month now and it's been mostly great Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:41 AM PDT The phone feels snappy thanks to the fast refresh rate and touch sampling. Cameras do a great job and I get more options thanks to the wide-angle and zoom lenses. The glass also has a pleasant touch to it and the speakers are clear and loud. Charging is also incredibly fast. There have been a few things that are a bit of a nuisance though: The power and volume buttons are on the same height on both sides, so when I grab my phone out of my pocket or from the desk, I often unintentionally take a screenshot as I put my fingers exactly on these buttons more often than I'd like. The gesture control with the swipe on the left/right of the screen is taking quite a while to get used to and it was easier to just have a mix of the bottom swipe to change apps and an added left arrow to "go back" in apps without any edge swipe funkyness. Too bad it's not possible to adjust the gesture navigation for that. Another thing, which I thought would be an issue when I looked at reviews of the phone is the fingerprint sensor which is located relatively low on the screen - but that wasn't an issue for me at all so far. So all in all it's been a great phone experience, coming from my old Pixel 2xl which I had to put to rest since the usb slot slowly started to break and charging was no longer possible - let's hope this doesn't any time soon with the OnePlus.

| 8T constantly freezes when using the swipe up gesture to go home, any fixes? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:57 AM PDT I've searched for around 2 hours for fixes and nobody seems to have any solutions. It happens with almost every single app where the whole phone freezes a solid 60% of the time I swipe home. Any ideas? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:31 AM PDT The maximum SOT that I can get with the OnePlus Nord 2 is 5 hours is this normal for a 4500 mah I used to have a mi 9t that has 4000 mah and I used to have 6 hours of SOT the chip is 6nm so in theory it must not be particularly demanding chip? Are you have the same.SOT with the other OnePlus devices with 4500mah? [link] [comments]  | ||

| OnePlus 9 pro YouTube app not loading Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:01 AM PDT I've had my 9 pro for a few months now and recently the YouTube app will not load. It doesn't give any errors, just shows the loading symbol. I've tried on mobile data and wifi. Everything else is still working. I've tried deleting storage/cache and downgrading/updating. Is there anything else I can do? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Poco f3 is perhaps better than Nord 2 Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:06 AM PDT So basically f3 has better display, ip rating, better chip and costs only 300€ compared to Nord 2 that sells for 400€, is it even worth buying Nord 2 and is it not overpriced? Or the oxygenOS makes up for all of that? Because miui is the only thing that is holding me from purchasing F3 and maybe not me only. What are your thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Best OnePlus phone that's comparable to 7t Posted: 03 Aug 2021 08:12 AM PDT At&t is telling me the OnePlus 7t I got in January isn't gonna work on their network in 30 days. What's the best comparable OnePlus phone that's cheapish? I'd have to trade this in and spend maybe $100 extra from whatever I get out of it. Almost out of $$. Job requires phone gps. Tia!

| OnePlus 7t North American versus global Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:22 AM PDT I'm on tracfhone AKA I think it uses T-Mobile and AT&t networks at times. I'm wondering what version I should get the, 1907 like I see everywhere on eBay or is it the 1905 that's North american? Please help me out trying to figure out which version I need thanks. I was looking at the McLaren too but it seems that it's not as good when it comes to T-Mobile and AT&t which I think TracFone uses. Tried looking at the bands for track phone number that's very hard and I found an inflicting information all I know is that that uses T-Mobile and AT&t I'm pretty sure so I looked up their bands and have found that the North American version has better coverage so I'm just trying to find that model number. What are you guys recommend that I get a different phone? I'm in Vegas so have good cell service but what like to have good service if i travel in between states. Thanks guys [link] [comments]  | ||
| Reset alternate account password? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:49 AM PDT I created another account on my phone a few months ago to use with a different Google account. I used it, took some photos, configured a couple of apps ... then lost the password. I could just delete it and start over but I don't want to lose the photos. Can the main (admin) account on a OnePlus phone reset the password of another account? It's an 8 Pro with Oxygen OS v 11.0.7.7.IN1 thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:49 AM PDT I'm planning on getting a OnePlus 9 Pro later this evening. I'm switching my regular OnePlus 9 for it. Do y'all think it's worth it, or is the Pro the exact same thing as a regular 9? [link] [comments]  |
