OxygenOS FAQ for September 2023

As the month of September draws to a close, OnePlus has rolled out answers to the most common questions regarding their Operating System, OxygenOS. Here are the comprehensive details provided by the company to address users’ concerns and queries.

Bright HDR Video Mode Setup

Users wishing for a brighter HDR video should be aware that increasing brightness can drain the battery faster and may result in the phone heating up. Steps to adjust:

  • Navigate to Settings
  • Choose Display & brightness
  • Opt for Bright HDR video mode
  • Decide to turn the feature on or off

Homeland’s AOD Location Permission Issue

OnePlus acknowledges a known issue with granting location permission when using Homeland’s AOD. The R&D team is actively working on a solution, with a fix expected in an upcoming software release.

Setting Individual Ringtones for Dual SIMs

Users can set distinct ringtones for each SIM card:

  • Access Settings
  • Tap on Sound & vibration
  • Choose Ringtone
  • Pick SIM1 or SIM2
  • Select your desired ringtone

Concerns About Camera App’s Continuous Operation

If users notice the camera app consistently active, OnePlus offers a way to identify apps accessing it:

  • Enter Settings
  • Click on Privacy
  • Move to Privacy dashboard
  • Choose Camera to inspect app usage

Trouble Downloading Apps Despite Ample Storage?

OnePlus suggests the inability to download might be due to storage permissions:

  • Visit Settings
  • Proceed to Privacy
  • Enter Permissions
  • Choose Permission manager
  • Select Storage and approve app permission

Possible Reasons for Failed System Online Upgrades

Upgrade failures can stem from multiple causes:

  1. Network instability causing download issues. Trying a different connection might help.
  2. Battery life below 20% can halt upgrades. Users should charge the device and retry.
  3. Disturbances during the upgrade process can result in interruptions. Restarting the upgrade can help.
  4. If the phone has previous ROOT actions, they could hinder upgrades. OnePlus recommends either downloading the flash package from their official website or seeking assistance at a service center.

Managing Phone Temperature

For optimal performance, phones should operate between 0℃ and 35℃. OnePlus provides suggestions to counteract overheating:

  1. During peak summer, use phones indoors.
  2. Rethink the use of thick phone covers. Lightweight, breathable options are preferable.
  3. Periodically clear background apps and non-essential functions.

OnePlus hopes this information proves beneficial to its users. While they might not respond to each comment directly, the company emphasizes that user feedback is always valuable and taken seriously.

OxygenOS 14 for Oneplus 8 & 8T

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.

Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.

Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.

Oneplus 8 OxygenOS 14

Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.
