OnePlus Wraps Up August 2023 with OxygenOS FAQ
OnePlus has released an OxygenOS FAQ for August 2023 to address the most commonly asked questions from users. The list, designed to shed light on issues ranging from software bugs to new features, also serves as a guide for troubleshooting some of the platform’s most puzzling quirks.
Dealing with Screen Blackouts
Users who’ve been vexed by their phone screens unexpectedly going dark can breathe a sigh of relief. The issue, according to OnePlus, stems from WhatsApp and pinned conversations. The solution? Navigate to your phone’s main settings and adjust the notification settings for WhatsApp. If the problem persists with pinned conversations, unpinning them should do the trick. Users who still encounter difficulties are encouraged to submit logs via the feedback toolbox.
Call Issues While Multi-tasking
Have you struggled with making calls while using other apps? OnePlus acknowledges this is a known bug linked to a specific Google Dialer version. The good news is that the issue has been fixed in the latest version of the Google Dialer. Users who continue to face problems can capture the necessary logs and submit their feedback through the toolbox.
