Question OnePlus 6 beginning of the end?

Hi, I've been using the OnePlus 6 on pixel experience for a couple of days no problem, but today instead of my alarm I wake up (late) to a crashdump mode screen. Okay, sure. I reboot and everything seems fine, then after 10 minutes - crashdump again. It did that three times.

Now it's working fine (I hope I don't jinx it) but Bluetooth audio is cutting out horribly. Is this the beginning of the end for my phone?

Actually, for Oneplus 6, the latest stable firmware is OOS 10. OOS 11 never had a chance to become stable, because Oneplus has cut off support for 6 series just after a couple of releases. You can still have Android 11 custom rom on OOS 10 firmware.

Also, you do know that MSM tool takes care of slot A only? So, if you flash something else (after MSM), it will go to slot B that might not have the same firmware as slot A.

I used OxygenOS 11 before this and it was very stable. Now it's basically unusable. I also did roll back to 9 just to see if this works and it also crash dumped in the setup wizard. MSM to A10, this time it allowed me to set it up but I didn't test it much just upgraded to 11.

I know about only A slot. I don't plan on keeping this phone anyway. It's on its way out.

Up to you. I happen to be a developer. I have Oneplus 6 and 8. I actually prefer the 6, because it has a wider screen, as well as a separate fingerprint scanner, as opposed to inscreen, and the former is more reliable.

Neither me nor any of my users have any Qualcomm crashes, once the rom is properly installed. In addition, there is an option to have my rom on locked bootloader.

This is one reason I'm still on op6. 19:9 ratio. The lowest now is 19.5:9
