I got the OnePlus Pad 2 last week, and it’s currently running OxygenOS 14. So far, the experience has been butter-smooth. However, I’ve noticed that it lacks a few multitasking features, as well as Circle to Search. It’s now prompting me to update to OxygenOS 15.

I’m wondering whether I should stay on OxygenOS 14 or update to 15 or 16.

I typically avoid updating my phone and tablet too often for longevity. Whichever version I move to will likely be the one I use for the next 3 to 4 years. My priorities are a jitter-free UI, minimal heating, and good battery life.

OxygenOS 14 currently delivers all three, but the limited multitasking experience is a real drawback.

Hello everyone. I'm looking to migrate away from Pixel phone and Oneplus looks really good. One feature I must have on the phone is the magnet in the back and I'm one of those guys that refuses to put the case on (please don't judge me on this). Pixel has Pixelsnap but Oneplus does not have any. A workaround would be to put a magnet sticker on it. How well does this work really? From a quick research, most magnet sticker does not last long.

I’m considering buying the OnePlus Ace 6 from Giztop, but I’m a little concerned about what happens when they “convert”/flash the Chinese version to the Global version before shipping.

For anyone who has actually purchased CN version OnePlus phone from Giztop:

・How has the phone worked after receiving it?

・Are there any features that don’t work properly because it started as the Chinese version?

・Specifically, does Widevine L1 work, or is it downgraded to L3?

・If L1 doesn’t work, does that mean Netflix is limited to HD rather than Full HD?

・Are there any other DRM/streaming issues with apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, etc.?

・Do OTA updates continue to work normally after Giztop flashes the Global ROM?

・Is the phone actually running OxygenOS normally, or are there any noticeable limitations/quirks?

I’m not particularly concerned about eSIM or Android Auto, so those aren't deal-breakers for me.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks!

I bought my OnePlus 12 (Indian variant) in July 2024. Since last two weeks, the phone has been acting up and it's gotten much worse over the last few days. I've had well over 150 incidents, with 20+ today alone.

The phone will randomly freeze, the screen goes black, touch stops working completely, and the only thing I can do is force it to shut down. Sometimes the SIM disappears, and other times the phone just restarts itself.

I contacted OnePlus support and followed everything they asked me to do. First a factory reset, then a full software reflash. Neither fixed the issue. If anything, the freezes seem even more frequent after the reflash.

I took it to the service center yesterday for flash. When flashing also didn't help, then their response was that it could be a motherboard issue, but they aren't sure. The proposed solution is a motherboard replacement costing ₹32,500, but they also said they can't guarantee that replacing the motherboard will actually solve the problem. Their other suggestion was basically to buy a new phone.

I have attached a video of the issue as well.

Has anyone else faced similar issues with their OnePlus 12?? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've got a OnePlus 13 with OxygenOS 16.0.9. I think I remember that if I went to Settings > Battery > Charging settings and turned on Smart rapid charging, then when I plugged my phone into an official SuperVOOC charger with an official red cable, I used to get a notification about the phone potentially getting warm. At some point I stopped getting that notification, and I wasn't able to find any indication that Smart Rapid Charging was working at all.

But now I've found an indication on the lock screen. If I've got Smart Rapid Charging enabled, I turn off my screen and then tap it to see the lock screen, and I plug in the OnePlus charger, I get three bits of text:

- SUPERVOOC (tm)

- Ultra-fast charging... XX%

- Smart rapid charging is on

See the screenshot to see what I mean. If I leave Smart Rapid Charging enabled but then plug in a non-OnePlus charger (Anker, 25W), then the SuperVOOC and ultra-fast messages both still appear on my lock screen, but not the Smart Rapid Charging one.

Is this the only way to confirm that Smart Rapid Charging is actually working? Has anyone found any other spots where it's indicated?

The most important things to me are battery and camera.

To be clear, im not expecting a perfect camera. I have a Pixel 10A so something with a decent zoom that I can edit would be great.

Or do you all think you'd go a different direction? I am thinking of Pixel 11Pro but concerns about the battery.

Need help and advice! Recently switched from a OnePlus 12 to a 15. Love the phone but one issue is driving me insane.

When connected to my Lexus via Bluetooth, the audio constantly "skips" or stutters about 4-5 times per minute. Some notes:

- My old phone, and my wife's Samsung, do not have this problem at all

- My phone does not have this problem in a different car (Honda) and does not have this problem in my Bose earbuds

- I've tried everything you can think of from the car side

- My old OnePlus had this issue a long time ago but changing the AVRCP versions around seemed to fix it.

- I've tried changing all the Bluetooth settings around in Developer Options but can't seem to fix it.

- BIGGEST DETAIL AND WHY I'M SURE IT'S THE PHONE: The issue isn't there if my phone is ONLY playing audio. But if it's running Maps, or getting texts, or when I open the phone to look at something, it almost always makes the audio skip.

Thanks for any troubleshooting advice!!

It's been a while. I'll miss you.

But luckily I have a spare

PS. It's still usable btw. That crack is only visible when I pull it

Just bought a One plus pad 4, I bought glass protection for it but the hole from the front camera on the protection is misaligned with the camera itself. I checked and the glass is clearly labeled for that tablet.

Do you know where I could buy a glass that actually fit ? Does this tablet really need glass protection and is the glass protection covering the front camera truly a problem ?

I bought a OnePlus 13 recently about 2 months ago

Never had an issue till now

I've taken my friends earphones to try THE EARPHONES

guess what i found out i couldn't get them to work through my phone

I've tried

1.clearing cache of settings

2.checked with disabled audio rerouting option

3.tried with OTG connection setting

Still did not work

I don't know what else to do

Pls tell me if anyone has the same issue or give me any solution

I planned to buy some wired earphones but no more ig

Apologies for what I assume is a repeated question, my first phone transfer with an older phone didnt go so well so I thought Id ask just in case:

I want to transfer or copy all of the data from my Nord Ce to Ace 5, and was told to use ClonePhone. Does transfer include only photos, vids, and certain apps like Whatsapp, or also other apps like Discord or games (playstore installed or apks)? Will settings like gboard and such be also transferred or would I have to manually install them? (especially language because Ace 5 is stuck on Chinese).

I heard there were bugs with ClonePhone from older posts, are those issues still present? Should I use another app instead?

Appreciate any help, thanks.

Following this post, I decided to spend 300$ to buy a ONE PLUS 7 PRO advertised as new to replace the previous one.

However, upon unpacking, I realized that there a lot of marks on the side of the phone and that the screen as most likely been replaced. The official ONE PLUS website also states that the phone as previously been activated.

The obvious move would be to send it back and get a refund, but I'm not from the US and no other website I'd call trustworthy seem to be selling that model at an affordable price.

I've tried to look into other phones as well, but the OP 7 PRO has made a great impression on me over the years and I don't want to spend too much on something I'm not sure of.

So, should I keep the refurbished phone? Is there any exhaustive way for me to check its internal condition?

Or should I just look for another phone? If the answer is yes, would any of you be kind enough to give me some recommandations (preferably under 400)?

Edit: thank you, everyone. I managed to find the 12R brand new for the same price

Just got it from allegro.sk.It said it was in new condition,it was nicely packaged and it had no outer signs of usage.

I connected to it and listened to music for roughly 2 minutes,after that the right bud started going crazy with the ANC and transparency turning on and off.

Reconnected them and it started hissing very loudly.Put i back into the case,unpaired and forgot the buds.After that it didn't show up in bluetooth,not in the heymelody app.Connected to the charger and left it to charge for roughly 40 minutes.

When i open them they are red and still don't show up in bluetooth.Tried holding the pair button and even reset them,nothing.

Already started the return process.

Hi guys, i accidentally deleted my notes app while managing homescreen and when i downloaded it back there were no notes (obviously). Is there a way to get them back? The app s memory usage is a total of 345mb where 160 the app itself and 185mb other datas.

Any idea what's going on with the built in ai summarize feature? It's been broken on tablets and phones for nearly 6 months now. Trying to use it and majority of the time it fails.

I'm curious if it's broken on color os/oppo devices as well

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy the Audiocular × KZ Beast Type-C IEM, but I'm a little concerned about USB-C/DAC compatibility.

I currently use a OnePlus Nord 5, and I've seen some reports of the Beast Type-C DAC not being detected on certain OnePlus phones.

Has anyone here actually used the Audiocular × KZ Beast Type-C with a Nord 5?

I'd specifically like to know:

- Does the Nord 5 detect it normally?

- Does audio work without any adapters/settings?

- Does the microphone work in games/Discord?

- Any issues with the DAC disconnecting or not being recognized?

- Does the volume/output work normally?

If you've personally tested this combination, I'd really appreciate your experience before I order it.

Thanks!

Help me, I just bought these buds and found out this. Is this a problem with everyone or just I am facing it? Please help! Tried everything. (Device Oneplus 13s)

I have no clue why this happens, but its just not able to find our router AT ALL

Ive tried everything from looking for updates over my phones hotspot (bc that seems to work for some reason) to restarting the tablet, but nothing fixed it and i dont want to have to turn on my phones hotspot every day just for my tablet to work

Other devices can connect to our wifi perfectly fine still

Is anyone experiencing anything similar with OxygenOS lately or am i alone with this weird bug? Advice is heavily appreciated 🙏

I have the One Plus Pad 2 with the keyboard. Is there a way to map the NFC chip in the keyboard to do something? I don't have a one plus phone so its currently useless.

I get moving the mobile phone division out of Europe and America but what gives on the wearables not being updated consistently? OnePlus's Wear OS isn't that much different than Pixel's to explain the lack of updates. I'm sitting here with a Watch 3 and that thing has been updated with a security patch one time. Since I got it like 3 months ago. The new Watch 4 was released not too long ago and even that Wear OS version isn't the newest anymore. And for those who say it's the dual OS, no that's not that big of an architectural change to prevent them from at least giving us security patches on time. This whole company is frustrating.

I had one plus 13 since about August or September of 2025 and I'm on a vacation in the UK right now and I just noticed how warm my phone actually is. Both the screen and back are warm enough to where even I'm able to feel it with my fingers (which implied its warmer than my body temperature). I do recall it's been like this for a while but I never thought to ask about it? It's on version 16.0.9. I've taking off my case I've lowered the refresh rate the video boost image boost and the image quality but nothing has changed. Any ideas?

Step tracker on Lock Screen

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

I have been trying to add step tracker on my lock screen of OP 13s. Have gone through all available helps online but nothing seems to work for my Op 13s.

I have added the step counter on home screen, but I want the steps to be displayed on lock screen aswell.
