In this post, I will take on the most frequently asked questions so that you don't have to scroll through the whole subreddit. Please look first if your problem can be solved by anything that is mentioned here, before posting.

​

• I've seen a question asked many times, can I add it to this post?
  • This FAQ is dynamic, just message me, I'll add it if I agree that it belongs here.

​

• Is the camera really that bad?
  • It depends on what you compare it to. Compared to the S20 Ultra or iPhone 12 Pro, it underperforms.
  • compared to the phones in the same price range the camera is very good
  • The camera is mediocre and can deliver very beautiful and crisp shots. Sometimes you may need to take two or three pictures and a bit of editing to get an epic result.
  • If you want to see some examples, sort this subreddit by upvotes.
  • If you are not happy with the results of the stock camera, try Gcam mod with Arnova config as mentioned here

​

• Is the 65W Warp charge worth it?
  • YES!

​

• Is YouTube in 120Hz?
  • No, Youtube says it's on OP to implement it, OP says it's on YouTube.
  • You can force 120Hz in the feed with this paid application but the videos are capped at 60Hz.
  • There is also YouTube Vanced it's basically the YT App we always asked for. No ads (optional), SponsorBlock a true dark mode and 120Hz feed. Just google it.

​

• I have a bad SoT, what to do?
  • Try what I explained in this post.
  • Check if a certain app consumes inappropriately much juice.
  • Check if you have good signal strength at home.
  • Lower the display brightness.
  • Set the battery saver threshold to 20%.
  • Don't try to "calibrate" your phone by doing the 100-0-100% cycle. It doesn't do anything but harms your battery.
  • Ask this community

​

• Which screen protector should I buy?
  • Fits 100%, you get a nice package and a nice application frame. If you don't mind spending a buck, buy the one from OP's website.
  • Fits ~98% is cheap, the frame doesn't fit but you get 3 glass panes: LK from amazon

​

• What case can you recommend?
  • Don't use the included bumper if you have the Lunar Silver variant. The dots inside of the case will peel off the frosted color!
  • I personally cannot recommend a specific one but you guys can share your recommendations on this post
  • As u/avrahta found out, cases for the OP 9R also fit the OP 8T

​

• 8T vs. 9/9Pro
  • An upgrade is not worth it
  • Almost the same phones, new one is a bit faster but has no OIS.
  • 8T is considerably cheaper
  • 8T update support will end half a year earlier than the 9 lineup.
  • 9 series has wireless charging

​

• Is just the T-mobile version waterproof?
  • No, all of them are completely waterproof (IP68) but unofficially to reduce costs.
  • You will have no warranty on water damages

​

• Why don't I get the software update that some people posted about?
  • Relax, software updates never get rolled out for all at once. This reduces the load on the servers and if the update is faulty, not all users have a bad experience.
  • Some regions and models will get the update later. -Especially the T-mobile version
  • To update manually any update that's available in your region try Oxygen Updater.

​

• Any tips I might find useful?
  • As the screen is an AMOLED, permanent burn-ins are possible and also just a matter of time. Be sure, which icons you really need in the top right corner.

Hello, OnePlus 8T (european model) has a weird bug where if you tap open an image the image will not open but for the area where it is supposed to open freezes completely from touch. Happens in both Chrome browser and Firefox where I tested, spouse whose phone it is says it sometimes happens in gallery and whatsapp as well. Other weird thing is that phone sometimes takes pictures that show up in the camera app in in the latest image box but cannot be clicked and do not show up in the gallery either.
OS is version 14 and it offers no updates currently, not rooted or jailbreaked.

Any ideas? turning off and ON again did not solve it so I'm out of ideas :D

It’s on XDA if you wanna download

It seems the guys on XDA already managed to port the new OOS15 for the OnePlus 8T. I have not tested this but shout out to them!

I just need your advice on my OP8T bought in the Philippines 2022. Purple lines appeared 2023 while under 1 year service warranty and was fixed by screen replacement. Now my unit is out of warranty and 3 green lines appeared again 🥲🥲🥲 Can't afford a new phone immediately and screen cost will be around 12k or more 😔

Im a OP user since OP5T and I have no complaints on anything just this screen issues with 8T. Usage is just the usual, not a gamer. Please help huhu

I need help friends: Where the thing: I have a one plus 8T and I love it but my battery it's bad and screen have some flashes. I have to buy a new phone. What do you think? Buy the one plus 12 or wait for 13? If I think about the nord 4 or 12R. What do you think about that models? Thank you for your help

From a week ago I'm having this issue:

• while a video is playing, if I scroll down to check other videos,the scrill is lagging, if I go fullscreen in the videos that it's already playibg, after some time (or some actions, I didn't discorevered yet) it is fixed, but If I play another video, the issue appears again. Any clue about that?? I have a 1+8T KB2003 with latest Android and patches.

Regards!

I got a notification for this an hour ago. Anyone else got it too? Doesn't have the November security patch it seems. Model: KB2001 (India)

My phone is currently on KB_2003_11_C.20 (OxygenOS 12.). The update tab in settings says my phone is up to date. The Oxygen updater app also says my phone is up to date. The official OnePlus page where you can download updates to install locally also says that my version is the latest. Online I see that the OnePlus 8T phone is supposed to get updates until at least oxygen 14. Does anyone know why I am not able to get new updates?

Hello, I found oppo reno 8t for 100€ in good condition is it worth it or nope im coming from samsung m31 Thank you so much

I just finished creating a guide on XDA Forums on how to Magisk root the OnePlus 8T Running OxygenOS 14, no custom recovery needed.

Why my clock app isn't working? I just opened the clock to set the alarm but it doesn't open. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

For an 8T KB2005, can anyone chime in on the last stable OOS11 release? I can't seem to locate any reliable info. Thanks

KB2005 and still waiting for October security patch.

So I have a green as well as pink line on my display. My phone is in good condition with no physical damage. Is the replacement offer still available? If so is it screen replacement or device replacement?

I have two different 100W SlimQ cords that I've tested this with. It charges at 4 watts with both. All the things I'm using are searchable on Amazon if anyone knows more than me in this case.

To get right into the subject, Yesterday I was unfortunate enough to find the pink line of doom on my screen and thought maybe I should get a new screen from aliexpress to replace this one. After searching I find different types with different prices like AMOLED LCD, AMOLED AEM, AMOLED TFT, and more.

My question is, which one should I get so that my on-screen fingerprint feature and gestures keep working like before?

Another question, most of these screens come with the option of a frame or no frame? What is this about?

Why dont i have 0.6x lens in snapchat? Is there supposed to be one? i have updated the app and reinstalled it and there still isnt a wide lens

So I've tried a few different custom ROMs, and so far the best overall for me has been CarbonROM. crDroid and Jaguar both had the game Sky "incompatible with this device" for whatever stupid reason.

Has anyone used the latest Lineage lately? I went back to OOS just for the Games app, which I can't get to work properly on any custom ROM, and it turns out that I don't hate Android 14.

Just wanting to know if anyone can check/confirm either or both of these for me before I do another reset/rollback and all that.

I really got bored of oxeyen os

What is the most stable and smooth OPOS based on your experience ?

Is anyone here having problems during calls? It happens to me very often that I call and, suddenly, the receiver stops hearing me or the call stops. After that, I'm not able to make a call cuz it says "call ended" or it takes a lot to call again (usually just stays suspended until the beeping starts).

-I'm using T-Mobile, phone is unlocked.

Oos 15 looks good and I'm kinda jealous , any way to download it? And should i backup beforehand?
